Everyone was settling in as I went outside to the balcony, and I saw Blaze standing there. "Hey, Blaze.", I said with a smile as I leaned slightly against the railing, glancing at him. He slightly turned his head to look at me with a smile. "Hi, Elisa.", Blaze said to me with a soft chuckle.
"What are you doing?", I asked softly in curiosity. "Observing the city.", Blaze said with a twitch of his tail with a side glance at the city in front of us.
"Well, it's no longer quiet, thanks to Goliath singing Circle of Life which broke Demona's spell.", I said with a grin as I took in the usual sounds of cars, humming lights and such. "That song truly represents the meaning of life which is why it broke the spell.", Blaze said with a grin, seeming proud of his uncle.
"Blaze, I never got to say this earlier, but thanks.", I said, moving a bit closer to him, and he turned somewhat, his wings tucked as a cape, facing me with a slightly confused expression. "For what?", Blaze asked quietly with a tilt of his head.
"For protecting me. Goliath told me that you were determined to stop Demona.", I said softly as I lightly brushed my hair over my ear, slightly frustrated at the wind as it couldn't stop playing with my bangs.
"I just couldn't let her harm you. If she had smashed you into pieces, I would never forgive myself.", Blaze said with a soft sigh as he moved a strand of my hair gently.
"I always loved that part about you, Blaze.", I said, smiling widely with a flash of confidence. "What?", Blaze asked, blinking in surprise.
I then placed my arms around his neck as Blaze looked confused while his wings flared out in surprise, and then I kissed him, but it was a quick kiss. Feeling shy, I turned away from Blaze. "I finally confessed my feelings to him.", I whispered to myself with a secret smile, slightly raising the collar of my jacket to fend off the wind.
I was shocked at what happened as Elisa had kissed me! I touched my lips as I was feeling a lot of emotions now, but suddenly I felt myself gliding, and I then landed on the roof.
"Elisa, I know you love me, and so do I, but I still don't know if I can be with you.", I spoke softly, knowing my secrets would be too much for her, and I then made my decision. I was going to leave the clan for a while. I know this will break Elisa's heart, but I don't want her to think that I didn't want to be with her.
I flew to Elisa's apartment, and I opened the window quietly. I then left her a note saying why I left, and I saw her gun, so I took it. Even though it was hers, I needed a weapon to defend myself as I was going to find the next Hunter.
I saw the portrait that I drew for Elisa on her birthday, and I felt a few tears fall down my face as I caressed the likeness of Elisa softly, her beautiful brown eyes sparkling in delight with her wonderful bright smile, and the sun shining warmly upon her lovely blue-black hair.
"I'm sorry, Elisa.", I whispered softly with a painful clench of my heart.
I then hopped out the window as I gave one last glance at Elisa's apartment, sighing deeply. I glided off some more, and I then gave another last glance at the clock tower with a brief landing upon another roof.
I then took off before anyone could see me, and I couldn't look back, knowing if I did, I could be more confused than before, unable to escape with the hovering eyes of Uncle Goliath and the others.
"I'm so sorry, everyone for leaving like this, but I will come back one day.", I whispered lowly to the wind as I kept on gliding, and a memory of Elisa flashed by, and I sighed heavily, my heart clenching again.
"And I'm so sorry, Elisa. I promise we will meet again, but I just need some time to think.", I said softly with a lump in my throat.
It was true of what Draven said. I could still become a human whenever I'm in public which is good, and also for another thing which I promised to Amy, I granted Coldstone the gift to become human during the day. He's pretty similar in looks as a human, just without the horns, and his skin tone is now a deep tan.
Anyway, we were in the bakery, getting ready to open it, and I saw Elisa looking all happy. "Hey, Elisa, what's with the happy face?", I asked with a smile.
"Oh, nothing.", Elisa said offhandedly, but I could tell that she was lying, and Goliath was next to me, noticing that he feels the same as well, smiling gently.
"Elisa, we know that you are lying.", Goliath said with a raised eyebrow. "Please tell us, Elisa.", I said, looking at her with a curious look.
"Well, it's just that..", Elisa stammered sheepishly with a weak smile. "What, Elisa?", Goliath asked softly.
"I kissed Blaze.", Elisa said with a nervous chuckle. "What?!", I said in surprise, but feeling happy for her.
"That's amazing news!", Goliath smiled happily, joyful for Elisa and Blaze. "When did this happen?", I asked excitedly, biting my lip in anticipation.
"Last night, I and Blaze were outside on the balcony. We were talking for a bit, and then I kissed him.", Elisa said with a smile. "I'm so happy for you, Elisa!", I laughed in joy as I hugged her happily. I'm so glad that she finally confessed her feelings to Blaze.
"I am joyous that you have found love with my godson. I know you two will treat each other well.", Goliath chuckled warmly. "Well, what did Blaze say?", I asked anxiously, wanting to know if Blaze had said to Elisa that he loves her.
"Well, I got shy after kissing him, and then I ran out before he could say something.", Elisa said nervously with a embarrassed look. "Oh, Elisa, you should have let Blaze say something before you left!", I groaned lightly, admonishing her sternly.
"Yes, I agree with Sally.", Goliath nodded sternly with a raised eyebrow. Elisa sighed lightly before nodding. "Anyway, have you seen Blaze?", Elisa asked in wonder.
"I haven't seen him at all. What about you, Goliath?", I asked, shaking my head lightly with a shrug. "I haven't seen Little Shadow since we came back to the tower last night.", Goliath said with a slightly confused look, looking thoughtful.
"Maybe he's thinking about the kiss that I gave him, and he wants to be alone for a bit.", Elisa said with a thoughtful shrug. I sighed softly as I hoped that Blaze didn't do what I think he did.
The whole day, the bakery had a lot of customers. We served ice cream cakes, cupcakes, and cookies for today, and soon, it was going to be dusk. "Well, I'm going to my apartment, and then I'll meet you at the clock tower.", Elisa said with a smile and a nod.
"You want to see Blaze as soon as possible.", I said, waggling my eyebrows as I teased her. "Oh, shut up.", Elisa said softly, blushing as she left. I snickered softly as the boys joined us.
"What was that all about?", Brooklyn asked in confusion. "Well, this is good news. Elisa finally confessed her feelings to Blaze.", I said with a grin.
"No way! That's awesome!", Brooklyn laughed happily. "That was so obvious! And about time, too.", Lexington smiled widely.
"Do you think I could make enchiladas if I ask them? This calls for a celebration!", Broadway grinned in joy and wonder. "That's very good news. Blaze is perfect for our Elisa.", Hudson hummed lightly.
"What did Blaze say?", Morgan asked in curiosity. "Elisa ran out before Blaze could say something.", I said with a helpless shrug.
"What, why would she do that?", Brooklyn asked in confusion. "Elisa was shy.", Goliath answered him softly.
"Goliath's right. Elisa was feeling shy after kissing Blaze.", I said with a weak smile. "Speaking of which, where is he?" Broadway asked in wonder.
"We don't know. I and Goliath haven't seen him.", I said, frowning slightly with a shrug. "He probably needs time to recognize the fact that Elisa loves him.", Goliath mused quietly.
Soon, we then closed the bakery and the cafe, and we then hid ourselves in a alley, knowing that we would turn back into our Gargoyle selves. "I can understand why you guys aren't used to this.", I said with a grin and a amused chuckle.
"You still look beautiful, Sally.", Goliath purred warmly as he kissed me upon the lips. We pulled back after a minute, and I smiled softly. "Thanks, Goliath.", I said with a pleased growl.
We were then gliding back to the tower, and I wasn't using my magic to fly as I decided to glide. I would only use my magic if there wasn't any wind to help us glide.
We then made it to the clock tower, and I saw Bronx running up to Morgan. "Hi, Bronx." Morgan said with a giggle as Bronx licked her face. He then saw me, and ran to me.
"Hello to you, Bronx.", I said with a chuckle as I rubbed his ears softly. We then heard what sounded like crying. "Do you hear that?", I asked in surprise.
"It sounds like someone's crying.", Goliath said softly. We then went inside, and I saw Elisa in the corner crying with Amy hugging her. "Elisa, what's wrong?", I asked as I ran over to her while I folded my wings into a cape.
"Why is she crying?", Goliath asked in concern and confusion. "Blaze...left.", Coldstone said solemnly.
"What!?", I shouted in shock as my wings flared out. "He left this note.", Coldstone said softly, handing Goliath the note. He read it out loud.
Elisa, I am so sorry about this, but I have to leave. I love you, and I know you love me, but I need some time to think about this; being in a relationship with you. I promise I will be back soon. Please understand, Elisa. And please tell everyone else that I will return. Take care, Elisa. With love, Blaze.
I just can't believe it! Blaze left just because he needs some time to think about being in a relationship with Elisa! "Why would he do this to you, Elisa?", I asked in dismay as I hugged her.
"I don't know! I didn't think Blaze would do this!", Elisa sobbed, her body shaking as she weakly returned my hug. "This doesn't make any sense.", Hudson said, shaking his head in bewilderment.
"Yeah, why would he leave just because Elisa confessed her feelings to him?", Brooklyn said, growling in confusion. "I just don't understand why he would need to leave.", Morgan said in shock as Bronx nuzzled to her side, whimpering softly with a moan here and there.
"Oh, Blaze. His past must have been too hard on him. Maybe it made him emotion controlled.", Lexington said with a sigh and a shake of his head. "But he has to understand that learning to love is a good thing.", Broadway said, shaking his head in denial with a firm growl.
"Oh, Coldstone, doesn't Blaze know what he did broke Elisa's heart?", Amy asked in shock with a look at Coldstone. "I just can't believe how much he has changed.", Coldstone said sadly as he hugged Amy closer to him.
"Little Shadow has been hiding some secrets from us. Maybe that's why he needs some time to think before being in a relationship with you, Elisa.", Goliath said thoughtfully with a frown. Elisa was crying more.
"What if he never comes back?!.", Elisa sobbed loudly. "Don't say that, Elisa! He said in the note that he will come back.", I replied stoically with a growl.
"Sally's right. He just needs some time.", Goliath said with a weak smile, attempting to cheer Elisa up. "I hope you're right.", Elisa sniffed loudly as I patted her back comfortingly.
The next time I see Blaze, I'm so going to give him a piece of my mind for leaving like this, and for breaking Elisa's heart! I mean, why does he have to be like this to her? Blaze does love Elisa, but why doesn't he want to be with her?
Believe in faith, Sally. Blaze will return soon. A Gargoyle keeps to his word no matter what. Draven replied encouragingly. I sighed heavily at Draven's words, and I nodded slightly. I hope Blaze stays true to his word that we will see him again soon.
