Week of November 14 - Secret Diary #2
5 days have passed since Goliath and I became a couple, and also since he reunited with his godson, Blaze. I and Goliath have been hanging out as we spent sometimes of watching tv, cuddling together. He has also been spending lots of time with Blaze, so they would go gliding together, and Blaze would tell his clan more stories about his adventures.
I've also noticed that Elisa has been getting close to Blaze, so I think she and Blaze would make a great couple. Anyway, I was flying towards the castle, and I landed on the building as I saw Goliath.
"Hi, Goliath.", I walked over to him, hugging him warmly as he held me up slightly as usual. "Hello, Sally.", Goliath purred warmly as he kissed me, and we then broke apart.
"Where is everyone?", I asked curiously with a smile. "Brooklyn took your sister to go out gliding. Broadway, Lexington and Hudson are watching TV.", Goliath said with a grin.
"Oh, okay, but where's Elisa and Blaze?", I asked in concern. "Elisa and Little Shado...I mean, Blaze are in the park.", Goliath said sheepishly, I chuckled softly.
"You still can't stop calling your godson that?" I said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk as I looked at Goliath.
Goliath sighed heavily. "You have to understand that it has been painful not to see him in the past few weeks before he reunited with us, and now, I still dream that he is 5 years old, asking for a story or some playtime... it's not possible anymore as he's a grown-up Gargoyle, never needing me anymore...". A frown crossed his face at the thought.
"I understand, Goliath. It's just hard to accept that Blaze is all grown up, and he's not a child anymore.", I said to Goliath, comforting him all I could. Goliath nodded slowly, "As always, you are right, Sally. That's one of the reasons why I love you. You have wisdom beyond your years.", smiling softly with love in his eyes.
I smiled as I looked out at the city, with Goliath holding me from behind. A moment later, I sensed Draven. Hey, Draven. What is it?
Sally, I need to tell you something about Blaze. Draven said, sounding serious. What? What is it about Blaze? I asked in concern.
When Blaze was telling his story about where he has been, I have sensed that he wasn't being truthful with his story. Draven said quietly with a bit of concern. I had a look of confusion on my face. Blaze wouldn't lie. Would he?
What do you mean, Draven? I asked in confusion and concern. I heard a sigh from him, and then he spoke. I believe that Blaze is telling half-truths of his stories about his adventures.
I was with Blaze, walking in the park. These last few days, I have been getting along with him, and to my embarrassment, Sally and Morgan have been teasing me saying that I might be in love with Blaze.
Anyway, Blaze was telling me about how he taught himself to use a gun. "You know how to use a gun?", I asked in curious surprise. "I saw that it is the common weapon that humans use, and I would practice my shooting to get a perfect aim." Blaze said with a confident smile.
"That's amazing, but don't let Broadway see you with a gun, or especially Goliath.", I said, warning him softly. "My godfather is still having a hard time understanding that I can take care of myself just fine.", Blaze said with a frustrated sigh.
"Of course, he is! Ever since he woke up, he has been spending his spare time searching for you.", I said with a raised eyebrow, and Blaze chuckled warmly as he glanced at me softly. "Well, I'm glad that he did because now we're together.", Blaze said with a smile, and I smiled back. A moment later, I noticed a red light on my chest.
"Elisa, watch out!" Blaze shouted in shock as he pushed me out of the way. "You okay?", Blaze asked in concern as he looked at me, while I caught my breath, surprised after that red beam thing.
"Yeah, thanks.", I said with a nod and a grateful grin. Blaze and I turned around to see Demona with a particle beam blaster in her hand. "Demona!", I shouted in anger, still mad at Demona for everything she did.
"Why, hello there. I see that you have a new Gargoyle with you, but it doesn't matter as I will still kill you.", Demona said with a wicked grin as she aimed her blaster at us. We both got out of the way, and I saw Blaze glide towards Demona.
Demona kept firing at Blaze, and he was able to dodge them all, then he kicked the blaster which made it go flying. Demona snarled angrily, and having no choice, she decided to fight with Blaze, and I'm surprised she still hasn't recognized him.
Blaze was able to dodge all of Demona's attacks, and it's true what he said. He is a skilled acrobat as I saw him use acrobatic moves to dodge Demona, and Blaze then used his claws to scratch Demona, leaving 3 claw marks.
I gasped in horror. What was he doing? He then used his tail to make her fall. "Who are you?", Demona asked in shock and admittedly a bit fear as she groaned, I then saw Blaze grab Demona by her shoulders, and lift her head up to face him.
"Someone that you're going to regret having messed with his family.", Blaze snarled furiously as his eyes glowed white. I saw him hit Demona's head on the pavement a few times, and then I ran over.
"Blaze, stop!", I shouted, grabbing his arm. He then stopped, and I saw that Demona was unconscious, but her head was bleeding. "Blaze, why did you do that?", I asked in shock and horror, wanting to know why Blaze did something that violent.
"She tried to kill you, and she tried to kill my family!" Blaze snarled in anger as he stood up. "Yes, but violence is not the answer, Blaze!" I shouted, glaring at him sternly, standing up to him.
"That's all I ever known in my entire life.", Blaze sighed heavily, his wings lowering as he muttered, making me confused. I wanted to ask, but he then picked me up.
"We can't let Demona follow us to the clock tower. I suggest that we hide, quickly.", Blaze said as he started gliding. We then found a abandoned building, and Blaze then got me down gently. We went to the middle of a room, watching the sole window, sitting tensely upon a old crate.
"Blaze, I still want to know the truth. Did you actually want to kill Demona?", I asked, and Blaze sighed, looking at me for a second. "If Demona is gone, then she won't be a danger to my godfather and the clan.", Blaze said with a quiet growl.
"Blaze, you know that Goliath would be disappointed in you.", I said, scolding him sternly. "Goliath wouldn't understand the pain I went through...after the human family who took me in,..they were killed.", Blaze said, making me freeze in shock.
"What?", I asked quietly. "When I said of the Human family who took me in, they died a long time ago. But they were actually killed by Hunters.", Blaze growled softly. Blaze's foster family was killed? Could this be why he tried to kill Demona.
"But why? Blaze, why did they kill your foster family?" I asked in horror and curiosity. Blaze sighed, looked down slightly as I saw a memory in his eyes flashing back. "These hunters despised Gargoyles. The family made me hide as the hunters were searching for me. I was forced to watch them kill my family...I was only 13 years old when they were killed." Blaze whispered quietly as I felt a tear go down my face. Oh, Blaze.
"They even went as far to kill the family's young children! They were young and innocent! They were like siblings to me after my brother and sister died during the castle attack.", Blaze snarled lowly. "What, you had a brother and sister?", I asked in surprise as Goliath hadn't told me of this fact, maybe he didn't want to go down memory lane too much.
"I did. You see, my family joined Goliath's clan around the time I was still an egg. My brother was 18 years old at the time the castle was attacked, and my sister...she was still an egg when the vikings attacked.", Blaze said, looking sad and despondent.
"Blaze, I'm so sorry about what you went through.", I whispered softly, placing my hand on Blaze's shoulder warmly, mostly ignoring my blush at the touch underneath my hand. Blaze gave a hum, glanced at me, and blinked softly, nodding lightly.
"Blaze, is that why you tried to kill Demona?", I asked in curiosity. "Yes, I couldn't let her take away my family after I spent a long time searching for them.", Blaze said with a soft growl.
"But didn't she take care of you alongside Goliath?", I asked in confusion. "Sometimes, but it was mostly Goliath who would look after me. I used to care about Demona,but now, she means nothing to me.", Blaze snarled angrily.
"Blaze.", I said, widening my eyes in surprise. "Her heart has gone dark, and she didn't even recognize me.", Blaze said, looking upset and frustrated.
I was with Goliath and we were watching tv when he noticed that it would soon be dawn. "It's time to head out." Goliath said as he got up, and I followed him. Soon, the other gargoyles joined him, but he noticed that Blaze still wasn't back.
"Where is Blaze? He should have been back by now.", Goliath said with a mix of confusion and concern. "Maybe he and Elisa got distracted, and he had to stay in the park.", Morgan said with a shrug, while subtly winking at me with a smirk.
"I just hope Elisa protects him. I don't want to lose him again.", Goliath rumbled softly. "Don't worry, Goliath. I'll go look for them.", I said to Goliath, nodding with determination.
"Thank you, Sally.", Goliath said as I then glowed a blue aura. Before I flew off, I gave Goliath a kiss, and then, I was flying over New York, trying to see if I could find Elisa and Blaze.
I knew that we both would be staying the night here in this building as we were not going to make it in time to the clock tower.
"But Blaze, what did you do after the hunters killed your family?", I asked as I have a bad feeling. "I made sure those Hunters paid for what they did to my family.", Blaze growled angrily, and I had a face of fear, knowing what Blaze might have done to the hunters.
"You...killed them?", I whispered in horror. He didn't respond, but I knew that the answer was yes. "Most of them before I went into a stone sleep.", Blaze said softly. I can't imagine Goliath seeing that his godson have been changed so much.
"But Blaze, why?", I asked in confusion before I felt the sun's rays. I saw Blaze had turned to stone, with his face looking solemn, staring at me. I sighed deeply as I thought quietly.
Now, my feelings were mixed as I still felt something for Blaze, but now, I don't know if I can trust him. No, he had saved me from Demona, which means that he doesn't hate humans like she does, but I was still thinking about how Goliath would react about this revelation.
