Fifth entry of the World Avalon Trip - Secret Diary #4
3 days have passed since we visited Ireland, and we encountered yet another Children of Oberon there. It was the Banshee, and like her name, she lets out a powerful scream. It literally hurt our ears, but thanks to Rory and Draven, we were able to defeat the Banshee.
Draven also took away Banshee's power to turn into the Giant Death Worm, and he also placed a curse on her as well. Should she ever harm a human again, the curse would render her mute, but Draven erased her memories, so she doesn't remember anything about Draven.
It was now daytime, and there was only 1 hour left before dusk. Angela and the young Gargoyles had turned to stone while I and Goliath turned back into our humans forms, and Bronx turned back into a Doberman.
We then made it to what looks like Paris. "I don't believe this! Of all the places Avalon could have sent us, who would have figured Paris?!", Elisa said with a amazed laugh.
"The most romantic city in the world.", I said with a pleased sigh. Goliath kissed me on the temple, purring softly. "Perfect for couples like us, my love.", Goliath rumbled softly in agreement.
"I wish that Blaze was here to enjoy it with me.", Elisa said, looking bitter-sweetly solemn with a heavy sigh. I frowned lightly, feeling sympathy for Elisa. The boat then stopped near a bridge.
"Where are you going, Elisa?", Goliath asked curiously as Elisa hopped out of the boat. "I'm going to go sightseeing.", Elisa said with a grin.
"Have fun! I'm going to call my sister, and let her know where we are.", I called out to her with a nod. "Make sure that she tells Matt as well!", Elisa called back before she left.
"Goliath, you stay here and watch the others.", I said with a stern look at him as I had Dagian's egg strapped safely in the front backpack. "Of course, Sally. Stay safe, my love.", Goliath kissed me warmly, and I smiled as I then hopped out of the boat.
I then started walking up the stairs, and soon I found a phone booth. I was about to dial my sister's cell phone number when I saw a human Demona and Macbeth strolling down the street. "Demona and Macbeth, strolling down the streets?", I said to myself in shock, making sure Dagian's egg was strapped well in the backpack, and I followed Demona and Macbeth.
I then saw Demona hug Macbeth before leaving, and I followed her, but I lost her in a crowd of people as I also bumped into Elisa. "What's wrong, Sally?", Elisa asked in concern after we shook our heads from the collusion.
"Demona and Macbeth, they are here! I was following Demona, but then I lost her.", I said with a worried look. "We better go tell Goliath.", Elisa said, nodding with determination.
"Ok, but let's inform our friends in New York of where we are.", I said quickly with a nod. We then went back to the phone booth, and I was able to dial Morgan's phone number. I told her about our location, and she also promised to inform Matt as well.
It was now getting late, and we were walking back to the boat when a bunch of thugs came out of nowhere. "What is it with thugs appearing out of nowhere?!", Elisa shouted in frustration and dismay.
"I wish this could stop happening.", I growled in agreement, and then we got into a fight with them. Elisa and I were able to handle them well when a thug grabbed me from behind, only to get punched by Goliath.
"Thanks, Goliath.", I said with a grateful smile. "No problem, my love.", Goliath said with love and protection in his eyes. Then the sun set, and Goliath and I turned back into our Gargoyle forms. Another thug tried to attack us, only to get tackled by Bronx.
We kept fighting the thugs when I felt one hit my backpack, and it sent Dagian's egg rolling. "Oh, come on!", I shouted in frustration. I swear Dagian is a magnet to trouble!
"Don't worry, I got him!", Elisa shouted in confidence as she ran after Dagian's egg, and she was able to catch the egg. "I got him!", Elisa said with a laugh, but she tripped over a rock, and ended up falling over the bridge.
"Elisa!", I shouted in horror. Bronx handled the thugs as they ran away, and I saw Elisa cover Dagian's egg to protect him. I and Goliath jumped after her, but I don't know if we can catch her in time, and then I saw a shadow catch Elisa, carrying her safely.
"Who was that?", I asked in worry and confusion. "Let's follow him.", Goliath said with a growl.
"What about Angela and the others?", I asked quickly. "Despite being young, they can handle themselves.", Goliath rumbled softly with a nod of acceptance.
"Ok then. I just hope they stay where they are when we get back.", I said with a sigh.
I felt myself fall, and I covered Dagian as I fell, but then I felt someone grab me, and start gliding. I didn't open my eyes yet as I still felt scared from the fall, and then I felt the person who saved me, putting me down.
"You can open your eyes now, Elisa.", I then froze in shock and hope as I heard that voice, and I then opened my eyes to see...Blaze! I then noticed he looked a bit different, more specifically his face, and I noticed that he had more scales on his face as the last time I saw him, he had a few scales on his face.
"Blaze!", I shouted in joy, and I was about to hug him, but then I stopped myself as I remembered what I was going to say to Blaze. "Hi, Elisa.", Blaze said with a crooked smile. I ignored him as I then covered Dagian with my jacket, putting him down gently, so he wouldn't hear me yelling. I then whipped around, glaring at him with my teeth bared.
"Don't you 'Hi, Elisa' me! It has been six months since we last saw you, and you promised to visit soon!", I shouted as I stepped forward. Blaze winced as he backed up, but a wall stopped him, and he looked back at me with a stupefied, worried, pained look.
"Six freaking months since you hurt me! Did you ever realize that I was so worried about you, you idiot?!", I snarled lowly as I had a few tears in my eyes. "Elisa, I'm so sorry as it was never my intention to hurt you.", Blaze said softly, looking crestfallen.
"But you did! You left without saying goodbye, and what's worse, you left just because I kissed you! Why did you do that, Blaze? Why?!", I asked, my voice breaking. "Elisa, it's just that I have a hard time learning to love. I mean, I feel love for a family, but I never learned how to feel love in a mate." Blaze said with a deep sigh, looking at me with a expression to ask me to understand.
"Oh, Blaze. You're just being hard on yourself. But you shouldn't have disappeared on us after I kissed you. We were all sad.", I said with a shake of my head with a raised eyebrow. "I'm sorry, but if I told you, I knew that my godfather would try to stop me from leaving.", Blaze explained softly, looking so apologetic.
"So this is where you have been?", I asked with a nod. "Yes, why do you ask?", Blaze asked me curiously.
"We were in London, and these Gargoyles told us that you visited the shop, and where you might have been heading.", I said with a smirk. "Oh.", Blaze said with a look of surprise.
I then heard something, and I turned around to see Sally and Goliath. "Dagian, I'm glad you're okay!", Sally called out in relief as I then handed her back the egg after I picked him up, taking back my jacket in the process.
"Thank you for saving him, Elisa.", Goliath smiled gratefully at me, and I nodded with a smile as Sally then placed the egg back inside the backpack.
"Little Shadow!", Goliath called out in shock, and I saw Blaze. He must have been the one to save Elisa. Oh, how I was ready to scold him. "Listen here, Blaze, do you have any idea how much pain Elisa went through after you left her?!", I snarled angrily to him as I covered Dagian.
"Sally, I already scolded him. You don't need to do that.", Elisa told me, stopping me with a smile of appreciation. "Alright.", I sighed lightly with a nod.
"Blaze, is this where you have been residing?", Goliath asked in curiosity. "For about a week. I was going to stay for a bit, but then I spotted Demona and Macbeth taking walks together, so I decided to investigate.", Blaze said with a growl.
"I saw her too.", I said, nodding in agreement. "You're not the only one who has seen her.", Blaze said with a scoff as he handed Elisa a newspaper, and there was a photo of a Gargoyle flying through the night.
"Demona.", I said with a snarl. "I already know where she is hiding.", Blaze said with a smirk.
"We will go with you, but we need to do something first.", Goliath said with a growl. "I'll meet you there.", Blaze said, nodding lightly.
"Blaze, wait, don't go.", Elisa said, running to touch his arm. "I'm not going to leave the city, Elisa. If Demona is here, then the city won't be safe until she is gone.", Blaze said with a nod and a growl.
"Blaze is right. Demona is a danger to everyone.", Goliath said, nodding with a snarl. Elisa hugged Blaze, and Blaze then took off. "Let's get back to everyone else. They are probably wondering where we are.", I spoke out loud, and Goliath, Elisa nodded in agreement.
We then told everyone about Demona, but we didn't tell them about Blaze as Draven told me that it still wasn't time for Colin, Chris, and Lacey to know about their brother.
"Sally, you stay here, and protect Dagian.", Goliath told me with a stern glance. "I will. Be careful, everyone.", I said with a nod and a smile.
"We will.", Angela hugged me warmly. Goliath then kissed me, and Chris picked up Elisa. Then everyone was off, an I then sat on the boat. I started to sing a lullaby to Dagian, calming him down.
I was thinking now that we found Blaze, would Elisa's scolding make him realize Elisa is his mate? I freaking hope so. Not only that, but on the other day, Elisa told me that maybe Blaze could convince Goliath to accept Angela as his daughter when he sees Goliath as his father, and I'm sure that he would be mad at Goliath for not accepting Angela as his daughter.
I was still sitting in the boat when I heard a noise, and getting off the boat, I wrapped a wing around myself to protect Dagian. "Who's there?", I said with a warning growl.
"Aren't you happy to see me, Sally?", I heard a voice. I turned around, and I saw...Thailog! He was wearing some sort of armor. "Thailog.", I snarled lowly as I was angry to see him here!
"My, my, how you have grown more beautiful since I have seen you.", Thailog purred with a wicked smile. "I see that you still won't give up on claiming me as your mate.", I snorted with a growl.
"I won't stop until you're mine.", Thailog said, grinning widely with his eyes glowing. "I'm afraid that can't happen. Goliath and I are now mates for life, and we even got married.", I said with a shake of my head.
"What?!", he snarled loudly as he looked pissed. "I'm sorry, Thailog, but it's true.", I said with a smirk.
"You mated with that, that fool!", Thailog snarled lowly as he took a deep sniff. He then noticed my backpack, and he saw the egg. "And you even produced a halfbreed mutt of a egg as well.", Thailog growled lightly with a sneer. I snarled lowly as my eyes glowed red.
"I won't let you harm my baby!", I snarled loudly in anger as my tail lashed out, hovering near my egg as I covered him with my arms. "Pity that you are wasted to this sight, my dear. If you had simply accepted to be my mate, you would have a better life.", Thailog scowled lightly.
I growled at him, "I'd choose this life millions of times before being your freaking damn mate, Thailog!". "Well, I have to leave, but it was nice seeing you, my dear Sally.", Thailog said with a light purr before he flew off.
