Serenity's POV

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed as Noah and Elisa finished telling me about the insignia that was on the transmitter. "Are you freaking kidding me?!

"I'm afraid not David Xanatos has been using our new friends this whole time for personal gain" Elisa answered.

Smoke came out of my nose which happens when I got angered or annoyed. Earlier Noah and Elisa came upon the scene of a crashed aircraft. In the midst of the flames the mated pair saw two gargoyles flying away from the scene. It had been Goliath and an unknown gargoyle.

"Something bad is going to happen to Goliath's clan" Noah said gravely.

"Over my dead body" I hissed.

"Whoa! Serenity calm down!" Noah exclaimed grabbing hold of my arm before I could storm off. "This isn't like you"

"I'm not going to stand by and let something happen to the gargoyles damn it!" I snapped pulling away from his grasp. "They have no right to be the slaughtered like animals being hunted"

My stomach growled again and I knew if I didn't hunt soon my mood wouldn't improve. So after leaving the police station I shifted into my dragon form and flew to one of my regular hunting spots. I chose several good sized fish to satisfy my hunger. Afterwards I took flight once more and flew to the same roof where I met Goliath before.

The gargoyle had yet to arrive. I took that time to lick the blood away from my mouth from my hunt and became human again. The sound of wings got my attention and I looked up to see Goliath making his descent. He landed a second later before me.

"Your not hurt thank god" I greeted the gargoyle as he folded his wings.

"Why would I be?" Goliath inquired. He then noticed I looked concerned about something. "What is troubling you Serenity?"

"Three Cyberbiotic insulations have reported robberies by some kind of creatures and Noah saw you and another gargoyle flying away from the plane wreck"

"Some discs were stolen from Xanatos, we've returned them to him"

I fished out a piece of paper from my pocket and gave it to Goliath. He took it and eyed the emblem the transmitter had on it.

"Noah and Elisa traced that emblem and it's the logo of the robotics firm that's owned by Xanatos Enterprises"

"Are you saying that Xanatos is responsible for the attack in the park?"

"Yes and most likely one of his men shot me in my wing"

"But those are the same men who stole the disks from him"

"Goliath nothing was stolen, those damn disks belonged to him in the first place, he staged the theft in order to trick you into thinking they were stolen, he used you and he's been using your clan from the beginning, listen Goliath we haven't known each other long and I know you don't have any good reason to trust humans"

Goliath growled and looked away from me and I simply placed my hand upon his face making him look to me.

"But you've got to trust somebody in this world and I think you'd be better off with me than Xanatos"

Goliath eyed then emblem again before growling once more. I placed a hand onto his arm and it seemed to calm him.

You and Goliath must hurry to the castle the other gargoyles are in trouble

"Damn" I swore.

"What is it?" Goliath asked.

"We need to get back to castle your clan is in trouble" I answered. I then shifted from human to dragon and I turned to the gargoyle. He nodded before he opened his wings and I did as well. We both took flight and headed back in the direction of the castle. Ahead various robots that resembled Goliath flew around terrorizing the gargoyles. Goliath was quick to slam his body into one and it exploded after being crushed against the stone wall.

Goliath then flew downwards to help his clan mates and I flew to a nearby robot ready to destroy it. The robotic gargoyle turned to me and was about to use its cannon blaster when I opened my fanged mouth and unleashed a stream of fire.

My flames made the robot explode and I roared out in victory before finding my next target. While Goliath focused on destroying robot I came upon another and seized the damn thing into my claws. I landed on the castle roof before taking the robot into my fangs and shook it violently from side to side. The metal contraption broke into pieces and once the top half separated from the bottom did I release my prey.

Goliath was successful in destroying the other robot because there was another explosion and it rained metal gears and other things upon the castle floor. Suddenly another robot came out of nowhere and it headed towards the olive and teal colored gargoyles. I roared at them to run in which they did and above the red colored gargoyle and Goliath pushed a piece of the castle that got broken and it landed on top of the robot and it got destroyed when it hit the floor making another explosion.

Suddenly I heard the click of a weapon and I turned to see a female gargoyle pointing a bazooka at me. Her skin was blue and she wore a white top that covered her breasts and a tattered skirt covered then lower parts of her body. Her hair was a dark red and she wore some golden crown underneath it. She fired the weapon up and I took flight just in time. The blast meant for me destroyed the wall that had been behind me.

Nearby Goliath landed hard against the flooring and I flew downwards in his direction. I landed next to him and nudged his body with my snout. Goliath saw my concern and he stroked my snout before getting to his feet and eyed the female gargoyle who now had the bazooka pointed at him.

"Goliath you're a fool but then you were always one weren't you?" she sneered. "If you'd had only taken the rest of our clan away from the castle that night, the plan was perfect"

"Plan?"

I gave the female gargoyle a dangerous growl but she ignored me and continued.

"It would have succeeded!"

"What plan?" Goliath demanded.

"I've made a bargain with the captain I was to get us all out of the castle so the Vikings could sack it"

"What?" Goliath said as he eyes widened. I was liking this female less and less.

"It would have worked and after the humans were gone, we would have had the castle all to ourselves, but you ruined it, you had to protect the humans, you made us stay at the castle when we should have been with you, when the Vikings attacked the captain said he'd protect us but I didn't trust him, I've stayed alive because I don't trust anyone"

How dare she!

My dragon was furious.

This female is the reason why Goliath's clan was destroyed

"But why did you do it" Goliath asked.

"You ask me that, after the way they treated us! They had to pay! All humanity has to pay for what they did to our kind"

"There is good and evil in all of us, human, gargoyle, and dragon alike, you should know that more than anyone! Don't you see none of this would have happened if it weren't for you"

He pointed a talon at the female gargoyle.

"Your only saying that because of the dragon female protecting you!"

I was about unleash a roar at the female gargoyle when I felt my body starting to weaken. I collapsed to my the stone flooring and returned to my human form.

"So I was right a half breed protects you Goliath"

"Shut your damn mouth you bitch!" I hissed at the female gargoyle. The evil bitch looked to me and she sent me a hateful look before eying Goliath once more.

"Goliath this is us your last chance, humanity is a poison that must be purged from this planet"

She then stated to walk forward and I snarled once more and ran toward her with anger fueling my actions. The female gargoyle simply used her claw like hand and I was sent flying past Goliath. I was thrown into a stone wall behind me and I held back a scream since my body hurt all over. The female gargoyle continued to approach Goliath.

"You've trusted me once, you've loved me once"

So this female is Goliath's former mate it would seem

I agreed with my dragon and I coughed. As Goliath's former mate approached I could feel his hurt and sadness and I wanted nothing more than to erase his pain. I didn't understand why I was acting this way towards a male I had just met. And one I was so determined to keep safe at all costs. The female gargoyle then fired the bazooka again. I was quick to get out of the way before I could further get injured. The blast from the wall threw Goliath forward and as the smoke cleared the females eyes glowed red in the smoke.

"I have a name too Goliath, the humans gave it to me long ago, you should know it be for you die, I am Demona"

Demona then held the bazooka against Goliath's chest. Somehow I managed to get back to my feet and I ran as fast as I could towards Demona.

"You stay the hell away from him!" I hissed and I threw a punch forward and I hit her jaw hard. There was a reason why I desired to keep Goliath safe and why I felt drawn to him. It was because he was my fated one, my beloved mate. The one who I had searches for so long for. The bazooka went off and I didn't care what mattered was keeping Goliath and his clan safe.

"I'll die before I let you touch Goliath and his friends you monster" I hissed to Demona once more. I felt my eyes glow into hers. The sound of something breaking got my attention along with Demona's. A part of the castle got destroyed by the bazooka and it fell to the flooring where Demona and I were. I swore as the flooring crumbled beneath my feet and I was falling. In the midst of the smoke and debris Goliath took flight and he was quick to grab hold of my hand. He flew us back to the castle safely before he looked to see if Demona survived the fall.

He then roared out and it was a mixture of sadness and betrayal. Goliath then saw Xanatos waking up and he angrily went to the billionaire human. He grabbed hold of Xanatos and held him over the safety of the roof.

"She wanted me to destroy humanity, I'll think I'll start with you!"

Xanatos taunted the gargoyle and Goliath growled.

"Goliath don't!"

Goliath turned to me and I continued.

"Give me one good reason not to drop him"

"Because if you do, you'd be the same as Demona and your nothing like her"

"She's right lad is that what you want?" Hudson asked coming to stand behind me

"No" Goliath replied before throwing Xanatos away and the human fell to the safety of the floor. Later Xanatos was arrested and as he was put into the cop car below Goliath and I watched. The other gargoyles were prepping themselves for sunrise which was fast approaching.

I smiled as I watched each one of them and Goliath suddenly said to me.

"It's good to know I have a friend in you Serenity and perhaps with your brother and Elisa"

It was too soon to tell the gargoyle that we were mates and when the time was right would he know.

"I'll always be here for you and your clan don't forget that"

"I thank you tomorrow we should fly the skies"

"I wouldn't miss it, I have more to learn about your kind"

Goliath smiled and I smirked before I went over and kissed his cheek. The gargoyle gave chuckled before the sun rose and he resumed to his stone form.

"Until tonight" I said to my stone mate before I shifted to my dragon form and took flight into the morning sky.

It will be towads the end of Season when Goliath learns of the mate bond he will share with Serenity. Lol. More to come and I plan on intruding another character who is a phoenix shape shifter that will be paired with Brooklyn.
