Demona's POV

Thanks to the tracer I located the helicopter. It led me to some abandoned factories in lower Manhattan. I hid in the shadows as I watched the Tribunal fools making their rounds. Seeing an opening I snuck past the Tribunals and made my way inside.

Serenity's POV

"Come on bitch tell us where the Manhattan clan is" one of my grandfather's lackeys demanded after he slapped me.

"As I told your boss f**k off"

I was given a punch to the stomach and it hurt like hell.

"She's not gonna talk boss," the lackey told my grandfather.

"Oh, I think she will in time" Tywin sneered and more electricity hit me. I held back my screams and was relieved when I was no longer being electrocuted.

"Know this old man my mate and clan won't take too kindly that you kidnapped me"

"I don't fear your precious gargoyle mate child"

I was given another slap across the face before I was alone.

I don't know how much longer I can hold up with the interrogation

I agreed with my other half because with every blow I endured from refusing to talk it weakened me. But I refused to give away the location of my clan due to the Tribunal's sick need to kill the gargoyles.

And we thought Goliath was the stubborn one my dragon joked. Her comment made me smirk a bit.

Goliath's POV

My clan and I were heading toward the location where Serenity was being kept. Flying beside us in dragon form were Ezekiel and Noah. I couldn't feel my Warrior of Flame through our mate bond and within my mind, I prayed the woman I loved was alive.

Serenity's POV

"What the hell?!"

Both my dragon and I heard one of the Tribunal's protests and the angry screech of a gargoyle rang out. I also saw several laser blasts go off but the hallway became dark again and I heard several thuds before things went quiet.

"Fools"

"Demona?!" I exclaimed not believing my eyes. The last thing I was expecting was for her to be here.

The female gargoyle used her brute strength to break the bars of my cell and soon she was approaching me. First, she undid the chains on my ankles before doing the same with the ones on my arms.

"You need a hospital"

"Yeah I think your right"

Demona helped me onto my feet but due to being slapped, punched in the gut, and electrocuted I was unable to stand and Demona caught me before I fell over. She then put my arm around her shoulder and wrapped the other around my body so she could keep me on my feet.

"You saved my life twice and now I am returning the favor"

I only nodded and slowly the two of us quietly made our way in the direction she snuck in from.

"I was wrong about you Serenity" Demona began. "I've put you through hell and I'm sorry, I'm surprised you don't hate me"

"Hate is a powerful word" I replied. "But even those who have done evil can be redeemed and you are on the right path towards redemption"

I then swore when I remembered Eden.

"God damn it those bastards better not have found my mother and daughter"

"Your mother and child are safe" Demona reassured me. "I met with your mother with Ezekiel before coming to find you, she was certainly protective of your daughter"

She paused for a minute before continuing.

"Your daughter was cute"

I chuckled.

"She is but giving birth to her was a bitch"

It was then we both heard movement and we stopped walking.

"How the hell did the half-breed escape?!"

"Don't blame me I was knocked unconscious!"

"You two quit complaining, Tywin needs to be notified that the dragon shifter is missing"

Smoke came out of my nose and Demona emitted a small growl. Suddenly a commotion was heard from the outside and I heard Goliath's roar along with my brother's.

"Looks like that's our signal to haul ourselves out of here"

Demona gave me a smirk before the two of us began to walk again.

Goliath's POV

"Where is she?" I hissed holding a Tribunal hunter above me. The hunter spat at the ground and I angrily threw him into a wall.

The factory yard was in full chaos as many Tribunals ran away or looked for weapons to use. I ducked as some laser blasts were thrown my way and I decided to deal with the men who fired at me. I stomped my way toward my prey and the two humans dropped their weapons and fled.

"Father look out!" I heard Angela cry out.

I dodged being captured by an electrical net and instead, Michelle caught it in her talons. She used her phoenix fire to burn the net into ash.

Serenity' POV

The entire factory yard was in chaos as my clan fought with the many Tribunals. Ezekiel and Noah fought in their dragon forms to even the odds. Demona suddenly shrieked and she let go of me so she could body-slam a duo of hunters who had been sneaking up behind us. Suddenly I was grabbed from behind and I felt something sharp being pressed against my side.

Goliath's POV

"Serenity!" I screamed as I saw my Warrior of Flame being held, hostage.

"Call off your attack gargoyle! Or else she dies!"

Serenity's POV

My dragon suddenly took over and she bit Tywin hard in the arm. My paternal grandfather swore and I was soon freed. My other half let me gain control and I sucker-punched Tywin Corvus hard in the jaw before I charged at the bastards who managed to overpower Demona.

The female gargoyle was currently trapped in an electrical net and after punching the assholes out cold did I summon my claws. I used them to shred the net and Demona thanked me before deciding to body slam another Tribunal.

Police sirens were heard in the distance and this had many of the Tribunals high tail it. I swore when I saw Tywin was gone.

"Serenity!"

Goliath rushed over and drew me into his arms. My Beloved of Night wept in relief and I wiped his tears away while Demona decided to help the other gargoyles gather up the unconscious Tribunals so they could be taken to jail.

Demona's POV

Angela rushed over to me and was worried I was hurt. I reassured her I wasn't and she then hugged me. I wrapped my wings around her and kissed her forehead. Afterward, I let her go see Serenity and I watched as she embraced the exhausted dragon shifter.

Serenity wrapped an arm around my daughter before she looked in my direction. We both gave each other a nod before the rest of Goliath's clan hurried over along with the other dragon shifter who must be Serenity's brother.

Ezekiel was still in his dragon form as he waited for me.

"Let's go we're done here," I told him.

My mate pressed his snout against my face and I kissed his scales before we both opened our wings and took flight.

Serenity's POV

Goliath picked me up into his arms and I lay my head against his chest.

"You are safe my love" he promised and I closed my eyes as he took to the air.

Next Day

Still Serenity's POV

I was discharged from the hospital the next afternoon and was ordered to take it easy. Mom and Dad would keep Eden until tomorrow so I could recover. I would forever be indebted to Demona for risking her life to save me.

I spent the day mostly watching television. I took a shower and had dinner before the sun began to set. I winced a little in pain as I made my way onto the roof to wait for Goliath. I smiled when I saw my Beloved of Night coming and soon he landed in front of me.

Immediately my mate came over and brought me into his arms.

"You have no idea how relieved I am seeing you're okay," he said.

I felt more tears fall from his face and seeing my strong Beloved of Night weep like this broke my heart. Goliath picked me up into his arms and he carried us into the apartment. He set me back onto my feet and I made him look at me.

Like last night I wiped his tears away before pressing my lips against his and this got my Beloved of Night to relax.

"I am a fighter my love as I am your Warrior of Flame"

I gave his face multiple kisses before I placed my forehead against his.

"I was scared I would lose you Serenity"

"As was I Goliath, I was frightened I would never see you again but I am here with you now, Tywin wanted our clan, wanted you dead and I refused to tell him anything because you are my Beloved of Night, my love, the other half of my heart"

It was my turn to shed tears and Goliath wiped them away. He wrapped his wings around me before intertwining my left hand into his right.

"The Tribunal of Light will be brought down my Warrior of Flame and they will not touch you again"

"They know now not to mess with our clan"

That comment got Goliath to smirk.

So as of right how Demona and Serenity ally's. I hope you guys liked seeing Demona save Serenity.
