Week of November 6 - Secret Diary #3
1 week have passed since we helped Xanatos save Fox, and I was in my apartment as I had closed the bakery for the day. The most strangest thing today is that Goliath told me when he went to go stop some bank robbers, he saw 3 strange little girls, but they disappeared after Goliath tried to search for them.
Speaking of disappearances, we haven't seen or heard anything from Demona in almost a year, which is good to my relief, but I can't help but have a bad feeling that she was planning something bad.
Also, Blaze has been acting strange the last few days. Anyway, I was making some dinner when I heard a familiar voice come from the tv. I turned around to see Demona on the tv! "What the Hell?!", I yelled in shock as I tried changing the channel, but her face kept appearing.
"Draven, what spell is she chanting?", I asked quickly as Draven appeared while I then turned off the tv. "I'm afraid this spell is very dangerous, Sally." Draven said in worry, and I then heard my front door bell. I went over to open it, and I saw Elisa and my sister.
"Did you see it?", Morgan said shortly with a groan. "Yeah, I saw it! I saw Demona chanting some sort of spell.", I said, biting my lip anxiously.
"We have to go tell Goliath and the others.", Elisa said with a nod, and we then went up to the roof. I used my telekinesis to fly us over to the tower, and we soon made it to the tower.
"Sally, what's wrong?", Goliath asked in concern as he came to hug me softly. "Demona. She was on the tv, chanting some sort of spell.", I said with a growl.
"Demona! I thought we wouldn't have to deal with her again.", Brooklyn groaned. "This is bad.", Lexington said, shaking his head in dismay.
"Not only that it's bad, Draven told me that the spell she used is very dangerous.", I said with a sigh. "But we don't know what it does.", Hudson replied thoughtfully.
"Hudson's right. We still don't what the spell can do.", Goliath said with a nod. "But in the meantime, we are going to have to keep an eye out if anything strange happens.", Morgan said, looking wary as Bronx nuzzled her side to comfort her.
"Morgan's right.", I said with a nod. "Hey, Goliath. Where's Blaze?", Elisa asked in bewilderment and concern as she looked around.
"I don't know, Elisa. He just told me that he wanted to think alone in secret.", Goliath sighed lightly with a shake of his head. "Now that's strange. Have you guys noticed that Blaze has been acting strange these past few days?", I said in concern.
"Yeah, he has been.", Lexington said with a thoughtful nod. "Blaze didn't even ask for a ride this week either.", Brooklyn shrugged in confusion.
"He has not been eating normally as he has before.", Broadway frowned mightily. "Blaze hasn't even asked me for a story from myself as well.", Hudson shook his head heavily.
"That's very peculiar. Little Shadow has been lost in thought those days, and I thought he was remembering his past or something.", Goliath crossed his arms with a frown. "Well, I hope everything is alright.", Elisa said in concern, biting her lip with a sigh.
The next day, I was in the bakery, and I then heard the bell ring. "Hello, how can I...", I stopped as I saw that it was Amy! I instantly opened the latch door, and ran to her. "Amy! You're back!", I said as I hugged her.
"Glad to see you, Sally!", Amy said, hugging me back, and pulling back with a grin. "If you're back, does that mean Coldstone is too?", I asked in curiosity.
"Of course. He is at the roof near the window of your apartment.", Amy said, smiling with a chuckle. "Wait till Goliath and the others hear this.", I said with a wide smile.
"I heard that you opened up a bakery, and I see that it's doing very well.", Amy said with a nod, looking around. "It is.", I said with a bright grin.
"Do you have anything special?", Amy asked, raising a eyebrow, looking intrigued. "I'm glad you asked.", I said with a warm chuckle. I then gave Amy a cup of Ice cream with mini chocolate chip cookies on top, and she loved it.
Soon, I closed the bakery, and went back to my apartment as Amy joined me, "Wow, so Goliath and his clan can become humans during the day too?", Amy said in amazement with wide eyes. "Yep.", I said with a nod.
"I wish Coldstone can have that gift.", Amy said with a sigh. "If you want, I can give Coldstone that gift as well as he also needs to be protected.", I said with a smile, assuring her happily.
"Thanks, Sally.", Amy said with a grateful nod as she turned on the tv. A show was playing, and then it showed Demona. "Who is she?", Amy asked in surprise and curiosity as Demona then started chanting the spell.
Sally, turn off the tv now! Draven shouted loudly. I was about to ask why when I saw the most horrifying thing. Amy turned to stone! I ran over and shut the tv off.
"Amy, can you hear me?", I asked worriedly, but it was no use as she was solid stone. I then heard roaring outside, and I saw Coldstone. "Come in.", I said quickly as I opened the window with my powers.
"Nice to see you again, Sally.", Coldstone said politely with a nod. "You too, Coldstone.", I said softly, and he then noticed Amy.
"Amy?!", Coldstone asked as he went over to her side. "What happened?", Coldstone asked in shock and fear.
"I don't know, but it has to do with Demona's spell.", I said, shaking my head in dismay with a growl. "Demona?", Coldstone said, his eyes widening in shock.
"She was on the tv, chanting a spell, and then Amy turned into stone.", I said quietly, and Draven then appeared. "Draven.", Coldstone said softly with a nod.
"Draven, please tell us what happened.", I asked hastily with worry. "Demona has cursed all people who has been listening to her into stone.", Draven replied sadly.
Oh shit, this is bad,very bad! That means everyone in New York was literally a statue, making them vulnerable for Demona, but then I got a scared look on my face.
"You said that anyone who was listening, they would turn to stone at dusk?", I asked in fear. "I'm afraid so, but my magic protects you from Demona's spell.", Draven said with a worried look as he seems to realize the same thing I am realizing. Oh, no, Elisa and Morgan saw the broadcast, that means...
"We have to get to the clock tower now!", I shouted in horror. "Coldstone, grab Amy, and hold on tight to her.", I said quickly.
"I will.", Coldstone said with a determined nod, and we then went outside. We started flying to the clock tower, and Goliath and the others noticed us. "Sally, Coldstone!", Goliath called out in surprise, and even though I wanted to hug them, I had to see if Elisa and Morgan are alright.
"Sally, what's wrong?", Brooklyn asked in worry. I just ran past them, and I went inside the clock tower. To see Elisa and Morgan turned to stone as well. "No!", I cried out as I fell to my knees as Goliath and the others went inside, and they saw the statues of Elisa and Morgan.
"What the?!", Brooklyn said in shock as he went to stand by Morgan's side, looking stricken with worry. Goliath then hugged me as I sobbed. "I got you, Sally. I am here, I am here with you, my love.", Goliath whispered softly.
"Elisa, can you hear me?", Blaze asked in worry as he was in front of Elisa's statue, looking devastated. "What happened?", Hudson asked in concern and confusion.
"Draven can explain.", Coldstone said softly, and then Draven appeared. "Draven, what's going on?", Goliath asked, growling lightly as he still held me.
"Demona's spell has done this. Everyone who had listened to her broadcast including Elisa, Morgan, and Amy has turned to stone.", replied Draven stoically with a sigh. "What?!", Goliath cried in shock. I turned around, still sobbing as I hugged Goliath, and he wrapped a wing around me.
"This makes the people of New York more vulnerable to Demona.", I said clearly after I wiped away tears with Goliath kissing me on the temple with a frown. "You're right, she could easily smash them into pieces.", Brooklyn said in horror as he looked terrified. Bronx was next to Morgan's statue, and he was whimpering, sad that she was turned into stone.
"Like how the vikings did to our kind.", Blaze said softly, looking horrified as he was next to Elisa, giving her a glance with undeniable emotions in his eyes. "You're right, this could allow Demona to kill lots of innocent people.", Goliath said with a snarl.
"We can't let that happen.", I said with a growl. "We have to go search for her.", Goliath said with a nod, looking fierce.
"But someone has to stay and watch our friends.", Brooklyn said, looking worried as he gave a concerned glance at Morgan. "Broadway, you and Bronx stay here, and look after Amy, Elisa, and Morgan.", Goliath said, giving out a order with a rumbling growl.
"I will go with you. I want to make Demona pay!", Coldstone said with a snarl after he gave a kiss upon Amy's forehead.
I went with Goliath, Hudson, Lexington, Brooklyn, Blaze, and Coldstone. We were following Hudson as he told us he had a friend of his who can help us. "There's the house of my friend Robbins." Hudson pointed to a house near the coast.
We then landed, and we saw more statues. "Statues?", Lexington asked in confusion. "No, people who were turned to stone by Demona.", I said with a growl.
Hudson then knocked on the door and a dog was barking. "Gillie, what's gotten into you? Who's there? I must apologize for my dog, she's not usually like this.", Robbins said as he opened the door, and I saw that he was blind, due to the cane and glasses.
"It's me, old friend.", Hudson said with a smile. "Hudson. I should have known by the way Gilly barked. Come in, come in." Robbins said, smiling as he gestured for all of us to come in, but Hudson spoke up.
"My friends would be more comfortable outside.", Hudson said softly, and then Robbins stepped outside. "I'm so glad you stopped by. I was getting jumpy. I can't reach anyone by phone. And it's so quiet out there, it's so unnaturally quiet.", Robbins said with a confused frown.
"We've noticed.", Hudson said with a nod and a sigh. "How long has it been like this?", Brooklyn asked with a growl.
"Your friend is impatient.", Robbins said with a chuckle. "The curse of youth. But something odd is happening. Anything you can tell us would help.", Hudson said with a chuckle and a sigh.
"I wonder if it had anything to do with that odd broadcast.", Robbins said, looking thoughtful. "Demona.", Blaze said softly as he looked furious.
"It's still playing.", Robbins said with a frown, and we went inside to see Demona still on the tv. "Demona!", Coldstone said with a snarl.
"Lexington, turn off the sound!", Goliath said loudly, and Lexington ran over to put mute on the tv. "I like to listen to the news on TV, but today, this woman broke into the signal, and began chanting in Latin. It's been repeating nonstop on every channel ever since.", Robbins said with a frustrated sigh.
"We have to go.", Goliath said with a nod, and we walked on, with Robbins speaking up. "Hudson, what's going on? You know more than you're letting on.", Robbins said, looking nervous with a frown.
"Less than you think. But you and Gilly stay inside for now, Robbins. It's going to be a bad night." Hudson told his friend gently, grasping his arm softly before leaving him, and going with us.
