Week of November 20, 2011 - Secret Diary #3
1 week has passed since Goliath and I mated, and our friends found out we mated due to the bite marks on our necks. Everyone was happy for us, but I've been thinking, and I also told Goliath about it that we should get married because it will make it official for the public to know that we are together.
Also, Draven would use a spell to make Goliath and his clan have documents, and their last names would be Wyvern in honor of Castle Wyvern. Anyway, my mom was coming to visit.
During recent times, I chatted with her through Skype, and I told her about Goliath and his clan. I also told her about me being with Goliath as well. I was in my apartment, making a ice cream cake, and I was making my mom her favorite which is Neapolitan ice cream cake. I would use my magic to give to the others different cakes of their preferences.
Also I felt bad for my mother as ever since my dad died, she hasn't been able to find someone else. Also, I would have to tell her the truth of how I almost died, and that I was a Gargoyle for the rest of my life. I then heard the doorbell ring, and I went over, opening it.
"Mom!", I said, grinning widely and happily as I saw my mom standing before me. "Hi, sweetie!", Mom said as she hugged me.
"How have you been? I've heard that you opened a bakery.", Mom said with a smile. "I have, and it's been great! Also, I made you your favorite ice cream cake.", I said with a grin.
"Neapolitan.", Mom squealed in joy with a happy look. I then went over to take the cake out from the freezer, and I gave my mom a slice. "How is it?", I asked curiously with a patient smile.
"As always, it's great.", Mom said, giving a hum of contentment as she licked her lips. "I'm glad.", I said, giving a chuckle of amusement.
"Where's your sister?", Mom asked in wonder. "She's at the clock tower.", I shrugged lightly with a smile.
"With Brooklyn.", Mom giggled with a teasing smile. "Speaking of which, how are things going with you and Goliath?", Mom asked me with a raised eyebrow. I blushed a bit, rubbing my neck nervously.
"Well, before I can tell you, I have to let you know something.", I said softly. "What is it, sweetie?", Mom asked me with a gesture to tell that she's listening, and then I changed into my Gargoyle self. I saw her look of shock and awe.
I told my mom about how I was nearly killed by Demona, but Goliath and Draven were able to bring me back, but the cost was that I would be a Gargoyle for the rest of my life.
"Oh, my poor baby! Why didn't you tell me?", Mom asked in concern and shock as she grabbed my hands, looking at me with understanding. "I didn't want to worry you, mom.", I said softly with a sigh.
"Oh, but thank god that Draven was able to save you.", Mom said in relief as she hugged me. "He keeps true to his promise on protecting me.", I said with a grateful smile.
"I would like to see him.", Mom said warmly, and then Draven appeared. "Draven.", Mom said with a light smile.
"Hello, Leah.", Draven said warmly with a nod of respect. "I must thank you for saving my daughter.", Mom said, looking relieved and grateful with a glance at me before looking at Draven.
"You know that I see Sally and Morgan as my children, and I wouldn't forgive myself if anything bad happens to them.", Draven said confidently and patiently as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "You have been a great father figure to them.", Mom said with a grateful nod.
"But of course, Leah. Family is family no matter what we come from.", Draven chuckled warmly with a look of happiness. "Well, let's go to the clock tower.", I said with a grin.
"Those ice cream cakes are for your friends, and I still can't believe that they eat a lot.", My mom said, giving a look of amazement and awe.
"I know.", I said lightly with a giggle. I then changed back to my human form, and I decided that we would walk back to the clock tower. We were on the sidewalk walking, and then I told my mom about how Goliath and I mated.
"No way! I'm so happy for you, sweetie!", Mom said, smiling widely. "Mom, keep your voice down.", I said, blushing brightly. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to talk about this outside in public.
"Sorry. So you and Goliath are like husband and wife now?", Mom asked after looking a bit humbled, and now whispering lowly. "Sorta, but that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I told Goliath that we would have to get married in order for it to be official to the public.", I said with thoughtful determination.
"What do you mean by that, Sally?", Mom asked in confusion. "If we use that way, Goliath and I will be mates for life.", I said with a nod. I could see the beginnings of comprending upon her face, and I knew that she would be part of this now as she's accepting the relationship of Goliath and I, which makes me happy.
We were walking near a construction site, and then I saw something falling towards my mom. "Mom, look out!", I shouted out of desperation as I used a spell to send my mom to safety to an alley, and I then followed to make sure that she was alright.
I went to the alley to see my mom laying on the ground. "Mom, are you okay?", I asked in worry as I came closer. "I'm fine, but thanks for saving me.", Mom called out, and my eyes went wide as my mom's voice sounded different.
"Mom, your voice.", I said in shock. "My voice? What's wrong with my..", Mom said in confusion before she stopped, and realized that she indeed sounded different.
"Let me help you.", I said softly. I then helped her get up, and that's when I saw something shocking. "Sally, what's wrong?", Mom asked in concern as she looked at me.
"Mom, look in the window.", I said slowly. She turned to look at herself, and Mom was now younger, being 29 years old to be exact. "What!?", Mom shrieked in shock.
"What happened? Why do I look younger?!", Mom asked in surprise and fear. "It must have been that spell that I launched, but why did it do that to you?", I asked in confusion.
"Draven, what happened? Why did that spell make my mom younger? And is there any way to reverse it?", I asked quickly. It must have been the emotions of the spell that affected Leah, and it made her younger, but I can sense that she can still age, which is good. And unfortunately, no, there's no way to reverse a de-aging spell as it's simply too dangerous for that kind of magic. Draven explained thoughtfully and warily.
Oh crap, my mom was going to stay 29 years old, but she will still age! I told her what Draven said. "Now, this isn't good.", Mom said, shaking her head in dismay.
"It's best that I get you to the clock tower.", I said as I shifted to my Gargoyle form as I saw that it was already sunset, thanks to the timer in my watch. I used my magic to make my mom fly alongside me, and we then made it to the clock tower.
"Hi, Sally.", Morgan said happily as she was playing with Bronx. "Hi, sis.", I said with a wave.
"Who's your new friend?", Morgan asked warily with some friendliness. "Morgan, it's me.", Mom said stoically as she gestured to herself, and Morgan's eyes widened in shock.
"Mom!?", Morgan shouted in shock as she got up, looking at Mom with disbelief, and she then looked at me for clarification. "What happened? Why does she look like she's 20 years old?!", Morgan asked out in desperation and demand.
"I had to save her. An object was going to fall on her, and I used a spell to get her to safety, but it ended up making her 29 years old again.", I said clearly and softly. "But you can undo the spell, right?", Morgan asked nervously with hope.
"I'm afraid not, but don't worry, our mom will still age.", I said with a sigh and a smile. "At least I can do the things that I used to do when I was young.", Mom said with a grin, and we all chuckled in amusement.
"Well, let's head inside.", I said with a smile. "Hey, everyone!", I called out to grab everyone's attention. I saw that only Hudson, Brooklyn, Lexington, and Bronx were there.
"Hey, Sally!", Lexington said with a grin. "Where's Goliath, Broadway, and Elisa?", I asked curiously.
"They joined Elisa on her case.", Brooklyn said with a smile. Oh, yeah! I forgot that Elisa was working undercover. "I bought you something.", I said with a grin. Even though everyone loves all the flavors of ice cream, they each had a favorite.
"What is it?", Hudson asked curiously. "Ice cream Cakes.", I said with a chuckle.
"Yes, they're my favorite!", Lexington said with a whoop of joy. "Well, here are your favorites.", I smiled lightly. I gave Brooklyn the Strawberry and Chocolate cake, and I gave Lexington the chocolate mint cake while Hudson got the Vanilla cake.
"Here you go, Bronx.", I said with a smile as I placed a plate in front of him, and the cake was Oreos ice cream cake. I then handed Morgan a Chocolate ice cream cake. Everyone then took a bite.
"What do you think?", I asked in wonder. "It's amazing!", Morgan said in delight as she took another bite.
"Oh, you always make the best ice cream cakes ever!", Brooklyn growled in delight as he licked his lips. "The lad's right. You make them so perfect, lassie!", Hudson hummed in contentment as he took in another bite.
"Delicious as ever, Sally!", Lexington moaned happily after he took in another bite. Bronx barked happily as he kept eating the cake. "I'm glad. I'm going to store these for Goliath, Broadway, and Elisa.", I said as I placed the others' favorites inside a freezer.
"Who's the new girl?", Brooklyn asked in curiosity after he finished his cake. "Well, that's kinda hard to explain.", I said nervously with a sheepish chuckle.
"Well, the truth is that she is our mom.", Morgan said with a similar sheepish chuckle. "What?!", Everyone shouted in shock. I and Morgan then told everyone on how I accidentally deaged my mom back to 29 years old after I used as spell to save her, and the spell couldn't be undone, but the good thing is that she will still age.
"You do like Sally except that you have Morgan's skin color.", Brooklyn said, looking thoughtful. "Thanks. Sally looks more like me while Morgan took after her father.", Mom said with a proud look.
"Well, it's an honor to meet you.", Brooklyn said with a warm smile, giving out a hand for her to shake. "I know that you will make my daughter happy.", Mom said softly, smiling with a warm shake of her hand in Brooklyn's hand.
"Mom.", Morgan said in happiness, and she then hugged Brooklyn. "I will make your daughter happy.", Brooklyn said with a determined nod and a wide smile. "This is why I love you, Brooklyn." Morgan said warmly and happily as she kissed him.
