I then started to hear Goliath and Elisa calling my name, and I woke up to see Goliath and Elisa chained to the wall along with Sevarius, as I saw Thailog chaining Xanatos to the wall as well.
"Sally, you okay?", Goliath asked in worry. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy.", I said with a snort. I tried to use my magic to break them free, but I couldn't as I then saw my hands cuffed, and with some metal contraption on them.
"Oh, you gotta be shitting me!", I said with a snarl. "I see that you're awake, my dear." Thailog said, and I saw him place the keys in a suitcase that had money inside.
"I'm impressed, Thailog. You played Sevarius like a harp. If money was the bottom line, why not just ask? We could've come to an arrangement.", Xanatos said with a slightly curious look. "Maybe on your terms, not mine. Did you really expect me to spend my life being your stooge and the doctor's private guinea pig? You two didn't go to all this trouble just to raise a fool.", Thailog said with a snarl.
"Typical. You do and do and do for them and what happens? They twist the knife in you.", Sevarius said with a scoff before Thailog grabbed him, looking furious. "Don't tempt me. Time to go. I've got plans of my own. And $20 million to see them through." Thailog laughed, and he then picked me up, and place me in his arms.
"So, how are you going to spend it? Stroll into a bank and open a checking account?", Sevarius said with a roll of his eyes.
"I'll find a way to make it work for me. I set all this up, didn't I?", Thailog said with a wicked grin. "What are you going to do with Sally?", Goliath growled lowly.
"Simple. I am going to claim her as my mate.", Thailog cackled with a smirk. "You asshole, she isn't yours!", Elisa shouted in anger, sounding like she's pissed off.
"Elisa's right! Now, let me go!", I shouted, shrugging to break free with snarls. "I don't think so, my dear.", Thailog grinned, and then he kissed me on the lips. My eyes widened in shock and disgust, and I tried to break free, but I couldn't as Thailog stopped.
"I will make sure you'll pay dearly, Thailog!" Goliath roared in fury. "I don't understand what you see in that fool.", Thailog scoffed, shaking his head with a disgusted growl.
"Well, we better get going.", Thailog smiled wickedly as he carried me in his arms. I saw my friends looking worried before Thailog closed the hatch. Thailog then opened a container of oil, and I saw all the oil falling to the floor.
"What do you plan to do?", I asked in fear. "Why, I am going to kill your friends, my dear.", Thailog cackled happily. I widened my eyes as I gasped in horror. He was going to kill my friends!
"I'm not gonna let you do that!", I shouted in fury as my eyes glowed red. "And how are you going to stop me? Your hands are tied, my dear.", Thailog smirked as he kept spilling more oil on the floor.
"Now, that should be enough.", Thailog said calmly as he grabbed a flare gun, and I struggled even more to break free. "It's not too late, Thailog! We can wipe the slate clean! Start over, and let Sally go!" Goliath called out desperately.
"Over my dead Body! Or better yet, yours.", Thailog said as he aimed the flare gun at Goliath, and I widened my eyes. I then bit Thailogs hand as hard as I could as he roared in pain, and I was able to break free. "Get back here!", Thailog shouted in fury as he reached out to grab me.
Goliath then tackled him, and I saw Goliath grabbing Thailog's hand which was holding the flare gun. I tried to find a way to get my hands free. I then used the oil, and it made my hands slippery, so I was able to free my hands.
I saw the flare gun fire, and the whole place started to catch on fire. I then ran over to Goliath. "Sally, you okay?", Goliath asked in worry as he picked me up rather quickly and gently. "I'm fine.", I said as I hugged him.
The whole place was now on fire, and we saw Thailog on the other side. "Thailog! Come with us. The water is our only chance!", Goliath shouted in desperation as he held me closer to him.
"Not without my money!", Thailog shouted angrily. "There's no time!", Goliath shouted in frustration. We then saw Thailog go back to get the case which had the money inside. He picked it up, and he was walking back when we saw the tower starting to fall.
"Thailog, watch out!", I shouted in shock and horror, but I saw the tower fall and explode. Goliath shielded me from the explosion as it sent us falling down to the water. We then came up from the water.
"You okay, my love?", Goliath asked in concern after we coughed out some water. "I'm fine.", I said with a smile. Goliath then kissed me, and I kissed him back.
"Oh, Thailog. Even though he was a bastard, he didn't deserve this.", I said sadly with a sigh as we saw the fire flaming on. "I understand, my love.", Goliath said softly. We then got swimming to the boat where Elisa, Xanatos, and Sevarius are on.
"Sally, Goliath, you're alright!", Elisa shouted in relief as she and Xanatos pulled us up into the boat. "What about Thailog?", Xanatos asked quietly.
"I don't think he made it.", Goliath said with a shake of his head. "Let's head back.", I said softly. On the way back to the mainland, Goliath kept hugging me close to him the entire time.
We then made it back to the clock tower, and we told everyone about Thailog, and how he tried to force me to be his mate, but even though everyone believes he is dead, I and Goliath have a feeling that Thailog is very much alive.
Goliath accompanied me back to my apartment. "I still feel a bit paranoid.", I said, biting my lip nervously. "I can understand that, Sally. You and I both know that Thailog is very much alive.", Goliath said with a nod and a sigh.
"And he will be more desperate to claim me as his mate.", I shuddered at the thought. "I won't let that happen!", Goliath snarled as he grabbed both my hands.
"Speaking of which, Goliath, is it true what Thailog said about me not being claimed yet?", I asked softly. "Gargoyles can sense whom are mated and whom aren't, and even if Thailog is created from me, he is still a Gargoyle, and he has sensed that you haven't mated yet...", Goliath explained slowly.
I sighed deeply, knowing that the next time we might see Thailog, he'll try to claim me as his mate, and I knew that I couldn't let that happen as I belong with Goliath.
"Goliath, if what you say is true, then we must...", I said quietly, but I stopped myself, and I noticed that Goliath knew what I was talking about. "Mate?", Goliath finished for me with a gentle and calm look.
"Yes, it's the only way for Thailog, and any other male to know that I belong with you.", I said with determination. "You have to understand that this is a commitment. You have to be certainly sure if you want to do this.", Goliath whispered softly with a pensive smile.
"I'm sure.", I said with a nod, but I know I had to ask Draven. Do it, Sally. Like I said before, you and Goliath are perfect mates. Draven said, sounding proud and happy.
I smiled as Goliath lifted a strand of my hair, and placed it behind my ear. He then kissed me,but it was full of lust. I kissed Goliath back, and he picked me up as he then started taking me to my bedroom. Goliath went inside, and he then closed the door, locking it for our privacy.
"Desperate, huh, Goliath?", I teased with a smirk, fluttering my eyes. "I love you so much, Sally. I have dreamed of this moment ever since we confessed our love, and now it's coming true.", Goliath purred loudly which sent shivers down my spine.
Goliath then placed me on the bed and he climbed on top of me. "Are you sure you want this, Sally?", Goliath asked clearly and directly. "I'm sure of it.", I whispered lovingly and clearly as I smiled warmly. Goliath then kissed me, and as we were kissing, I felt Goliath lift up my shirt.
We then broke apart for air. "You look beautiful.", Goliath purred lowly, and he then kissed my stomach. "Oh, Goliath.", I gasped in surprise as I grasped the sheets alongside. As he's so close right now, his sweet and spicy scent somehow became stronger than before, and it's torturing me on the inside as I wanted to taste him right now.
I bet he's getting driven crazy by my own scent as some time earlier, he said that it's similar to the scent of catnip, but it's a tad more sweet. In comparison, I told him that his scent is similar to cinnamon, but a tad more spicier.
Goliath growled as he then started to remove my pants, and I was now in my underwear. "Oh, how beautiful you are, Sally.", Goliath purred with a rumble, making me shiver. He then started to kiss my neck as he was doing this, he started to unclip my bra, and it soon came off, but I was covered as Goliath was on top of me.
Goliath then grabbed the blanket and covered our bodies. "I don't want anyone else to see you." Goliath growled lowly with another rumble, sending another shiver down my spine again.
"I belong to you, Goliath.", I purred with a smile. He then kissed me again as I opened my mouth, and his tongue met mine, and he then removed my underwear. Goliath then kissed my neck and he bit me. I let out a cry of pain as I knew he was marking me, and I would do the same with him too.
Goliath then licked up the wound and kissed it. "You ready, Sally?", Goliath asked with a sultry smile. I nodded my head as I blushed warmly, and I saw Goliath remove his loincloth.
I woke up, and I saw that it was morning. I yawned lightly as I was back in my human form. I then saw a arm wrapped around me, and I turned around to see Goliath hugging me. I then looked under the blankets to see that we were both naked.
Holy shit, we really did it last night! Goliath and I were now mates for life. "Morning, my love.", Goliath rumbled softly, and I smiled brightly as I saw the bite mark on Goliath's neck.
"Morning, Goliath. We really did it last night, didn't we?", I asked with a giggle. "Yes, as of now, we are now mates for life.", Goliath purred warmly, and I smiled happily.
"I wonder how are we going to tell the others?", I said as I chuckled lightly. "We can tell them later.", Goliath growled lightly before he kissed me, and I kissed him back. This was the happiest day of my life for I was finally mated to Goliath for the rest of my life, and I can't wait to start a family with him!
