3 days have passed since Blaze left the clan, and Goliath has been sad ever since Blaze left. I can understand his pain as in the last few days, I have been trying to cheer Goliath up. So far, I have only been able to make him a bit happy, but his mind always go back to his godson.
I was in my apartment, staring at the mirror. Draven, what can I do? Nothing I do is cheering up Goliath. I asked the spirit in devastation and frustration. Sally, he is just having a hard time. He just can't accept that his godson has gone down a dark path. Draven spoke softly.
I just can't believe that Blaze would do something like that. I sighed heavily as I shook my head lightly. All he felt at the time of his foster family's death, was anger and rage which is why he killed those hunters as revenge. Draven replied quietly, sounding sad yet understanding.
But I still can't understand why he would become violent. Elisa told me that Blaze had bashed Demona's head several times against the pavement. I groaned lightly, growing ever more frustrated. You have heard Blaze. He just wants to protect his family, which is understandable. Anyone has that duty, after all, and even Blaze knows it for he's a Gargoyle warrior. Draven protested lightly, trying to comfort me warmly.
I sighed heavily as I nodded. I just hope what Blaze said was true about that he would stay in New York. I just hope that Demona doesn't try to manipulate him. Who am I kidding?! Of course, Blaze wouldn't let himself get tricked as we all saw how he wanted to kill Demona with her own blaster.
I then stared at a window in the mirror, and then I saw a silhouette of a Gargoyle. I gasped as I turned around, and I saw Demona crash through the window. Thinking fast, I grabbed my gun.
"Demona! Freeze!", I shouted at her, but she shot a dart at me, and I then fell to the floor. I saw Demona grab my gun and crush it in her hand. "You've just been poisoned. In 24 hours, you'll be dead. I have the antidote. Tell Goliath that I'll be at the Old York Opera House in the Village. Ciao.", Demona cackled evilly as she flew away. I stood up, and then Draven came out of the necklace.
Stay still, Sally. I can heal you.", Draven told me sternly as his hands glowed blue, and he placed them where Demona shot the dart at me, and I then felt better.
"Thanks, Draven.", I said with a grateful smile, and Draven smiled back as he nodded lightly. Draven then went back inside the necklace as I heard my door open, and I saw Elisa and my sister run towards me.
"Sally, you okay? We heard noises from your apartment.", Morgan asked in worry yet relief. "Sally, who did this?", Elisa asked warily as she saw my broken window.
"Demona. She tried to poison me, but I used a spell to heal myself, and now we have to go tell Goliath.", I said to them, looking at them determinedly as I knew Goliath would freak out yet kiss me in relief when we tell him.
We were at the clock tower, and Goliath was hugging, and kissing me as I told everyone about what Demona tried to do. "Demona keeps forgetting that I know magic. Lucky for me, I know a spell to heal myself if I get poisoned.", I said with a smirk.
"What's Demona's game this time?", Brooklyn asked with a soft growl. "l don't know. But we're going to find out." Goliath said as he rumbled softly, kneading his hand through my hair as he kissed me on the temple.
"But l'm OK. You don't have to go. You know it's a trap." I said to Goliath as I turned around to face him, placing my hands upon his chest. "Sally's right, Goliath.", Elisa spoke knowingly behind me.
"If he doesn't go now, Demona will know that her plan failed. She'll go after you again.", Hudson said softly through I don't know if he means me or Goliath would be targeted again. "We gotta stop her." Broadway said with a frustrated snort.
"Yes. But how? We can't lock Demona up and I will not even discuss the alternative.", Goliath said as he went outside to the balcony, and we joined him immediately. "You're our leader, Goliath. As such, you are responsible for all of the gargoyles.", Hudson spoke softly yet wisely.
Goliath sighed deeply. "l'll go with you. I've got a few things to settle with her.", Brooklyn said with a snarl.
"I'll go with you too." I said, nodding with a determined frown. "No. You stay here with Bronx and guard the tower.", Goliath looked at Brooklyn. He then looked at me softly, "Broadway, you and Lexington escort Sally home, and stay with her until sunrise. She'll be safe from Demona then. Hudson, you come with me." Goliath said, giving out orders, his clear voice rumbling as I realized that he wasn't leaving this alone.
"Be careful, Goliath.", I replied softly as I leaned my head upon his shoulder. He tilted my chin gently, giving me a look of tender love and care. "I promise, Sally. Demona just doesn't understand that I won't give up protecting you and the clan no matter what. I will be back, my love.".
I sighed lightly, and kissed him on the lips for a second, "You better damn make your way back to me, Goliath.". He smiled lightly, and nodded. I turned around to face Hudson, "You be careful, Hudson. Take care of each other.".
Hudson smiled warmly, "Don't worry, lass. We are warriors, and we are Gargoyles. We protect our own.". I nodded, and I then watched Goliath and Hudson fly off.
Well, it's time to head home. I just hope that Goliath and Hudson are safe. I went to my bedroom, and I then fell asleep. I was having a strange dream as I found myself in a field with trees surrounding the area, and I then heard crying.
I was walking in the direction from where I heard the crying, and I then saw a little black something nearby. I got closer to it and I saw that it was a...little Gargoyle! "Are you okay, little one?" I asked gently, but he didn't hear me. I tried to touch him only for my hand to go right through him.
What the heck? I then noticed the little Gargoyle had a cut on his leg, and then I heard a familiar voice. "Little Shadow!", I turned around to see Goliath, and he ran through me as if I was a ghost! I saw him kneel down, and that's when I realized that the little Gargoyle is actually Blaze.
"What's wrong, Little Shadow?", Goliath asked softly, and I could see Blaze still crying. "I hurt myself.", Blaze cried, and I saw Goliath pick up Blaze, and hold him close to his chest.
"Oh, that's just a scrape. Have you been playing around, rascal?". Goliath purred softly as he reassured him. Blaze leaned closer to Goliath with tiny hiccups as he slowly stopped crying, and I then realized that I must be seeing a memory from Goliath's past.
"Shhh, I know what will calm you down, Little Shadow.", Goliath said softly, and I then saw him to rock Blaze as he started singing.
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head, close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Goliath sang as he held Blaze's head to his heart, and Blaze was still sobbing a bit, but now he was smiling a bit.
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let your eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew all about you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, heaven knows
But you are so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine
Oh, baby of mine
Oh, baby of mine
Oh, baby of mine
I was crying a bit after Goliath finished singing the song, and I saw that it was almost dawn. I saw Goliath hug Blaze closer to him. "I guess that we're going to have to stay here, Little Shadow.", Goliath said with a low chuckle.
"I love you, Uncle Goliath.", Blaze said happily, and I smiled at his innocence. "I love you too, my Little Shadow.", Goliath said with a smile as he hugged Blaze closer to him. As they both turned to stone, I smiled at them, seeing Goliath's smile and him holding Blaze in his stone sleep, and I can see how close Goliath was to Blaze.
I then woke up due to the sun's rays hitting my face, and I got from my bed. I went to go see if Broadway and Lexington were still there, and sure enough, they were now in their stone sleep.
Draven, what was that dream I had? I asked the spirit in curiosity, and Draven then came out of the necklace. "What you saw, Sally, it was a memory from Goliath's past.", Draven said softly as he seemed thoughtful.
"I know, but why did I dream it?", I asked in a bit of confusion. "It might have been for you to see how close Goliath was to Blaze.", Draven spoke lightly as his wings became his cape.
"I saw that Goliath really cares for Blaze which is why it's hard for him to see his godson had changed so much." I said, nodding. "Then you truly understand why Goliath has been sad those past few days then.", Draven smiled comfortingly.
I sighed heavily as I went over to stand by the window. Later when it's almost sunset, I'll go look for Goliath and Hudson. Soon, I was telling Elisa and Morgan about the dream that I had last night.
"You're serious?!", Morgan asked in amazement and shock. "That's crazy that you had a dream like that.", Elisa said in awe.
"I know, right? But it must have been a way to show me how much Goliath cares for Blaze.", I said to them with a nod. "If I was there, I would have also cried.", Morgan said in wonder.
"So, you have seen a memory of Goliath and Blaze. Any reason why?". Elisa asked curiously. "It's why Goliath is having a hard time accepting that his godson has changed.", I said with a sigh.
"It's all those hunters' fault!", Morgan growled lightly, upset for Blaze and mad at the Hunters. "If they hadn't killed Blaze's foster family, he wouldn't have turned into a dark Gargoyle.", Elisa mused in thought.
It was now sunset, and I prepared myself to go find Goliath and Hudson. I glowed a blue aura, and then I was off, and I knew that Broadway and Lexington would be searching for me, but i had to go find Goliath.
After flying a bit, I came across a graveyard, and I saw on top of a roof, Goliath, Hudson, and Demona holding her blaster over her head. She must have tried to hit Hudson with it, but dawn came, and stopped from doing it.
I then landed near Goliath, and I sensed that he was injured, but I knew he would heal. Draven, what should we do with Demona once she wakes up? I asked the Gargoyle spirit curiously.
I will have to send her flying. Draven said with a sly chuckle, and I knew what he was talking about. Draven, are you sure? I asked nervously yet excitedly.
