Serenity's POV
Avalon indeed had plans for us. After leaving the magical island our first stop was the old ruins where Castle Wyvern used to be. Here Goliath had to face his inner demons alongside the ghosts of the Viking who killed his clan and the mysterious captain. The two ghosts had tried to use a spell that would make my beloved a ghost and the two of them flesh and blood again.
But the captain had a change of heart and decided to help Goliath and after defeating his sworn enemy, he went on to rest in peace. After that we were taken to Canada and here we met two more of Oberon's children. A wise woman named Grandmother and Raven a trickster. Upon arrival I got separated from Goliath, Angela, and Bronx thanks to Grandmother disguised as a sea monster.
I was found by a Native American man named Nick. He was skeptical of magic and rejected his heritage. I was sick for a day but thanks to Grandmother I was better the following night. I reunited with Goliath who had been worried sick about me. After Nick defeated Raven in a ceremonial battle did he accept his heritage and we left Canada in good spirits.
Even though we didn't know each other long Angela and I became fast friends. The young gargoyle became protective of me and I was protective of her.
"I wonder where we are now" Angela said as Goliath rowed the boat. The mist covered the water giving it an eerie aura.
"Who knows" I told her.
I then felt my stomach churn and I had to lean over the boat and throw up. Alarmed Goliath stopped rowing and came over to me. Angela and Bronx did the same, I could see their worry.
"You've been throwing up quite a lot recently" Goliath said after feeling my forehead. "Has you're dragon sensed anything?"
"No she hasn't"
Even though a few days passed since Goliath and I had sex, my dragon couldn't scent a pregnancy.
If we do carry a child I will let you know, it's too soon to tell, but listen to you're body and care for it my dragon instructed before she went silent.
Suddenly the sound of something very large swimming through the water caught my attention and it also got Bronx to growl and bark. Angela calmed the gargoyle dog down by stroking his head. Then a very large shadow passed underneath the boat causing the water to move the boat about.
The water's surface was calm once more and I saw lights in the distance. Most likely it was a town and I decided to check it out while leaving Goliath, Angela, and Bronx behind. My jaw dropped when I saw the sign "Loch Ness". So we were in Scotland again only in another part of it. I was able to find a phone and called Noah back home. My brother demanded where I was and I made him shut up long enough to explain what was going on.
My twin eventually kept his trap shut and I also told him to let the clan know we were fine and to tell the library I was using vacation time. I finished the call by telling Noah I loved him and would see him soon. A nearby tour guide asked if I was interested in a midnight lake toUr but I politely declined and went back to the group. We got back into the boat and were back on Lake Loch Ness. Goliath resumed rowing the boat and nearby a tour boat shined lights over the lake. Then something huge smacked the boat hard and all of us went flying into the water.
I shifted to my dragon form and used my wings to propel myself underwater. My head broke the surface and Goliath had surfaced as well. Bronx swam to the over tuned boat and Goliath dove back under the water to look for Angela. She got separated from us when we were thrown into the water.
I used my snout to return the boat right side up and I made sure Bronx got in first before I shifted to my human form and got into it as well. Goliath surfaced and I told him that Angela hadn't returned. After telling Bronx to look for Angela the gargoyle dog dove into the water and Goliath went back under. I chose to stay in the boat and after a few minutes Goliath and Bronx returned.
I took the boat to shore where my mate and Bronx got out so they could dry themselves off.,
"She did not drown" Goliath told me. "Angela is still alive that vessel took her"
"A submarine most likely" I agreed with him. "And a submarine will need supplies and what not, there's probably an underwater base nearby, we find it and we'll most likely find Angela"
Sunrise was fast approaching so we searched for a spot where it would be safe for Goliath and Bronx to sleep in their stone forms. Once a spot was found I shared a quick kiss with my mate before he turned to stone alongside Bronx.
I then shifted to my dragon form and took flight because my body craved fresh meat. I hunted until spotting a herd of deer and I brought down three stags. I easily shredded into the thick hides and gorged myself until I was completely full. Despite my full belly I headed into town and found a map of the area around the infamous lake.
A lady suddenly bumped into me and I growled. My eyes widened when I recognized her as one of Xanatos's employees. She put the groceries into the bed of a trunk and I kept out of sight until the coast was clear. I then snuck into the trunk bed and hid underneath the blanket.
It wouldn't take long for the truck to start and I remained hidden for the whole drive. Well until I felt sick and I had to get the hell out of dodge from the trunk bed. I landed outside a ruin and quickly took to my dragon form and flew to where Goliath and Bronx were.
My stomach made a noise and I coiled my body around my mate and Bronx. I soon fell asleep and woke up to the contents of my stomach coming up my throat. I moved away from Goliath and Bronx so I could open my mouth and I coughed up a small portion of undigested meat. It's smell was gross and I felt better after emptying the meat from my body.
I greedily drank some lake water before I returned to my human form.
You are pregnant my dragon alerted me. Intense joy came through me and I instinctively placed a hand to my stomach. The meat you threw up didn't agree with our hatchling
"Don't remind me" I growled as the sun set. It wasn't long until the stone forms of Goliath and Bronx cracked and soon they both woke up.
Bronx noticed the undigested meat nearby and he went to sniff it while Goliath approached me.
"Did you have any luck finding anything"
"Yeah I think I did , Bronx leave that alone!"
Bronx whined at the undigested meat before returning to Goliath and I. I shifted to my dragon form and Goliath took Bronx into his arms before we took flight. I led them both to the ruins and once we landed I returned to my human form. Bronx sniffed around until he stopped and started to bark.
"He found something" I informed my mate as we walked to where Bronx stood. Suddenly the ground moved and Goliath was quick to bring me close to him as we started to be lowered deeper into the ground.
"Amazing deduction Goliath!"
I hissed at the voice of Sevarius and Goliath did as well.
"I see gargoyle brain matter is razor sharp as ever!"
"Sevarius!" Goliath yelled.
The elevator then slid beneath us and Goliath wrapped his arms around me as we fell down some tunnel. All of us landed in an unknown cave a few seconds later and I swore.
"They say a man's home is a castle, what fun would a castle be without a dungeon?"
"Shut the f**k you asshole!" I snarled. "You're submarine captured a member of our clan!"
"I warn you human!" Goliath added. "If any harm comes to her"
"A little bit late for fatherly concerned don't you think" Sevarius interrupted. "So let me warn you, Angela is going with us on an excursion into the Loch, should you see fit to abuse my generous hospitality"
Angela's voice suddenly interrupted Sevarius and her voice made my maternal instinct kick in. Goliath's eyes lit up and he hissed before leaping onto the pole that had the camera and my mate destroyed it by punching it.
I took my dragon form and sniffed the ground and shortly found the smell of water. I opened my mouth and unleashed my flames melting the stone in front of us. I nudged Goliath with my snout and he walked out of the dungeon first with Bronx following him. Once they were safely out I returned to my human form and Goliath helped me through the rubble.
I gave a groan and before I could fall did Goliath catch me.
"I'm getting worried about you Serenity"
"Not now my Beloved of Night" I interrupted. "Let's get Angela safely back and then I'll tell you what's going on"
"Very well my love"
He kissed my forehead before we continued onwards. We came upon the underwater dock and one of Sevarius's men found us with a laser gun. Suddenly Bronx threw himself onto the man and Goliath wrapped his wings around me as some lasers were fired.
This caused some tanks to explode and soon water began to flood into the dock. Goliath held on to me as water surrounded us. He then released me and went over to the armed man demanding how we get out. The answer turned out to be a mini submarine in the shape of a Loch Ness Monster. It wasn't long until we were out of the underwater dock and in the lake deep within its depths.
As the submarine was being driven my eyes widened when I saw the legendary monsters themselves. There were two of them and they were following another submarine larger than ours. I made our driver zoom in towards the larger submarine using the camera. Angela was tied up at the end of the sub and I hissed with anger. I told the armed man to drive faster and as our sub got closer to Sevarius did I find two oxygen masks and give them both to Goliath.
He and I then went to the hatch where he could leave the sub easily and enter the water.
"Save her" I told Goliath referring to Angela.
"I will my Warrior of Flame" he reassured me and I gave him a kiss before closing the hatch. Suddenly the smaller submarine collided with the larger one and I stood my ground trying not to lose my footing. Once we were safely away from the other sub I pressed a red button that would release Goliath into the water. I looked out the window and saw Goliath swimming hastily towards Angela.
Once he was at her side he put the mask and breathing device over her nose and mouth. He then undid her chains and I breathed a sigh of relief glad to see she was safe.
I now understand why she smelled like Goliath my dragon suddenly spoke. Angela is his daughter and Demona is her mother
This didn't surprise me because Angela had her mother's form but Goliath's coloring.
This is between them we cannot interfere with what transpires I told my dragon as I watched the two Loch Ness Monster's swim past Goliath and Angela. Angela swam to the smaller creature and undid the strap around its neck. It was a female and the larger creature was male and her mate. Suddenly something hit the male and it was electrocuted.
Damn Sevarius!
Angela quickly swam to the rope that held the male monster and used her claws to snap it in half. Another one was deployed and the male Loch Ness Monster used his fangs to bite it in half. Nessie came to aide her mate while Goliath and Angela returned to the sub and entered the hatch.
After making sure it was safe did I open the hatch door and Angela came into the sub first with Goliath following. Not caring if I got wet I hugged Angela glad she was safe. Angela removed her mask and she embraced me back.
Later.
Once back on the surface I gave Goliath and Angela some privacy. I also had to throw up again.
My dragon teased me and I told her to be quiet.
"Serenity what is it?" Angela asked coming over to me. Concern flashed all over her face. "Goliath is worried"
I pulled her away out of her father's hearing range and then replied.
"You're Goliath's daughter"
Her eyes widened and I placed a hand onto her shoulder.
"My dragon told me and I won't say anything to Goliath, it's your choice to do that"
"I just found out" she confessed.
"If my mate does something to upset you leave it to me" I reassured her.
"Thank you Serenity"
I patted her shoulder before giving her the news she was going to have a sibling. Angela smiled widely and contained her joy in silence. She then gestured to her father and I nodded.
"Now that Angela is safe what is it that makes you so ill?" Goliath demanded as I came up to his side. His tone held worry and impatience.
Overprotective much?
Shut up dragon
"I'm pregnant" I answered Goliath's question.
Immediately Goliath's eyes went wide.
"Are you certain?" he asked.
"My dragon confirmed it" I responded.
My mate broke into a smile and soon wrapped me into a hug. I hugged him back and Goliath wrapped his wings around me.
"I look forward to meeting our young one" he purred.
"As do I my Beloved of Night" I agreed with my mate.
