And Enjoy my 1..2..3..no..4..yeah thats it, 4th story. ````````````` Elisa was out bored, so she went out to patrol the city. She drug her brother along too. Elisa looked up and saw Talon flying above her. All of a sudden her radio cracked and a voice said," A couple in Central Park..couple of thugs.." Elisa sighed knowing that was her cue. She hit her walkie talkie," Hey Talon, Central Park, A couple and some thugs, over." "Gotcha Sis." She hopped out of her car and peered through some bushes. She saw two people that she would never expect, Princess Catherine and Tom. She also saw 6 thugs," Hand over the money." Tom drew his sword. * Uh-Oh..bad move Tom..*, Elisa thought. One of the thugs snickered," So ya want a fight eh?" Another thug drew a gun," We can do that." That is when Elisa drew her gun and stepped out," Freeze Police! Put the gun down!" The thugs just grinned and turned around," It just keeps getting better and better..heh heh" Another thug looked at her and backed off,"Be careful she is that gargoyle lady!" And with that a 3 of the thugs ran off. All of a sudden Elisa heard something sneak up behind her. She quickly turned round at the right moment and flipped the guy with the gun on the ground. He was out cold. Elisa reached out and grabbed a thug closest to her and jerked his arm behind his back and yanked. She took out her handcuffs and handcuffed him to the other. The other two thugs went running in the other direction when there was a very loud ear piercing roar. The two thugs fainted when they saw Talon with his fist lit up. The light died and he ran up and hugged Elisa," Are you ok, sis? I saw the guy with the gun..." Elisa just smiled and pointed towards their feet. Talon grinned and said," Mom and Dad are coming down to the Labrynth tomorrow, coming?" Elisa shook her head," Sorry little brother, I have to work." Derrik groaned," Come on Sis, you barely ever come down.." Elisa looked up," Is Aunt Myrtle going to be there?" Derrik nodded. Elisa sighed," Sorry no can do." Derrik sighed knowing that there was nothing he could do to convince her now. Elis reached into her car and said over the radio,"Matt?...I have a couple of thugs that need to be taken to the station....Yeah?..Ok then I will be back in a couple of minutes...Yeah..I have to talk to a couple of old freinds that have been gone for a while." Elisa nodded and sat the reciever into its craddle. Elisa turned realizing that she forgot about the two behind her," Greetings, Princess,Tom.. what brings you two.." "Three," said another voice and Gabriel glided down. "We came for a visit. We couldn't wait for thy clan to return again.. espeacially not with 'them' around," said Tom. The Princess was watching Derrik and Elisa carefully,"This Gargoyle-Creature is ye brother, Elisa?" Elisa kinda sighed, not wanting to talk about it. Talon{Derrik} stared at the ground. Finally Elisa spoke," I guess it was kind of an accident or on purpose. Derrik began working for Xanatos, Fox's Husband, and Xanatos began working for Sevarius. Sevarius is like a scientist, he changes living things' forms. He was evil and would work for anyone for the right pay. Xanatos planned on using Derrik...Derrik was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He will be like this forever I guess..if there is a cure..." Elisa did not continue and just stared at the ground not wanting to say any more. Derrik put an arm on his sister's shoulders," It is ok, sis.... I am sorry but I have to go...Maggie will be wonderin what happened to me." He then looked up and said," It was a pleasure to meet you Princess. It was a pleasure to meet you Tom, Gabriel." ANd with that he was off into the dark night sky. *******2 hours later******** Elisa sighed and smiled as she remembered how happy the gargoyles were. It was warm out side that night so she decided to slip on a pair of jean shorts{ {something that she has never wore after she began working} and decided to get some rest. But before that Elisa walked out onto her balcony and looked around. Elisa sighed, it was a quiet night. Elisa was kinda glad but kinda dissapointed in a way. She was bored. Elisa slowly walked inside and shut the window. As she walked inside she thought she heard a voice," Oh, the detective bored? Well not any longer." And with that A large shadow came up behind her and grabbed her arms behind her back and held her like that. Elisa struggled but with know such luck. ~This guy is strong!~ Elisa thought. Then Demona came into view with some sort of gun in her hand," Detective, you know how that old saying goes, don't you? If you can't beat them join them?" Elisa struggled harder," Not a chance Demona! I shall never join with you! You plot to destroy the human race...you are nothing than a power hungry gargoyle. You hide behind your magic books and never fight fair! You are a pathetic excuse for a gargoyle. You are the one that gives gargoyle a bad name!" Demona growled getting frustrated, and shot the gun at Elisa. Elisa felt it hit her shoulder and before she could yell anything sleep overtook her... Thailog stepped out of the shadows holding Elisa still by the arms," Heh she won't be up for a while..." And the two gargoyles glided off into the night with Elisa..... ******30 minutes later****** Elisa awoke staring into bright light. She blinked a few times not used to such light at one time. When her focus was clear she began struggiling again. She then found out that she was tied by chains. She knew she would never get free without help so she just sat down. A couple minutes later Elisa could hear footsteps outside the doorway and stood up. Demona followed by Thailog entered the room. Elisa glared at them," What do you want!" Demona smiled and Thailog walked up to her," Why only your assistance my dear. See, we are building a clan ourselves to make Demona happy and we decided that with your spunky attitude and how you can beat us with your gargoyle freinds, we decided that you would be perfect." Elisa glared at them," I shall never help you, Demona!" Demona walked up to Elisa and said in a calm tone," You have know idea how powerful you are do you? You have know idea why your hair has a bluish shade to it do you? Well that is because Coyote is your grandfather in a way. I am not going to explain it all because it is too complicated but you, Elisa Maza, are half fey." Elisa listened to her shocked because what she said seemed true. Elisa was always wondering why her hair was always blue and why everytime she saw a fey she could sense him before she could see him. Demona took out the Grimorum," And said the same spell that she read to Goliath the night Brooklyn and him went out that night to look at something neat as Brooklyn put it.^Temptation^. Demona wasn't exactly pleased with the spell so she fixed it so that Elisa would be able to look and act normal. Her eyes wouldn't stay green but would stay normal and once in a while would quickly flash. Demona had did this so her plan would stay in shape. Thailog then handed Elisa a dusty and very old and very large book. Elisa looked at it with interest,"What is this?" Demona smiled," That is what I stole from Puck. He probably doen't even know that it is gone. It is how Puck learned most of his magic, every fey got a book. Sure, Titania and Oberon taught them a few tricks but they were supposed to learn on their own half the time. I want you to read this tomorrow night. But now I would like you to try out a certain spell," Demona then opened to a page,"read!" Elisa read the words out loud and as soon as she did she was a gargoyle. She looked almost exactly the way she did when Puck had transformed her into a gargoyle but she did look different. She had earings exactly like Demona and Angelas' and her black tee shirt was now a black halter top. Her shorts were way high and she had a golden anklet on her left ankle. She now had on a thick golden neckalace around her neck as well. Demona looked her up and down with curiosity," Perfect my dear. Can you change me into a gargoyle so that I may watch over you at all times...including in the day time?" Thailog grinned as he remembered when Demona told him about Puck's 'gift'. Elisa nodded and began flipping through pages until she fund it. She read it over silently and then handed the book to Thailog. Elisa shut her eyes and held up her right newly taloned hand and chanted yet another spell. Demona did not seem different but her body felt that the sun was rising and then knew she should try it out. Demona motioned for Elisa to follow and Thailog sat the book down on an empty chair. Demona led the way out of her basement and through her mansion. They walked stairs with Demona in the lead followed by Elisa and Thailog watching Elisa with interest from behind. Soon they reached a spacious balcony. There were three perches in the front and two on the sides. Demona hopped up on the middle perch while Elisa took the left and Thailog the right. Demona told Elisa to make a fierce pose because that is the natural thing for a gargoyle to do. Elisa nodded and did as she was told. The sun rose and all three turned to stone. ********hours later********* The sun had set. And the gargoyles awoke with tremendous roars and yawns. Goliath turned around expecting to see Elisa he saw Catherine, Tom, Owen, Fox, and Xanatos. Elisa was nowhere to be seen. Goliath began to worry,"Has any of you seen Elisa? She was supposed to be here last night but never showed up." Tom and Catherine just looked at each other. But before anyone else could say a word an alarm rang. All the gargoyles ran into the main hall. They saw Demona standing there by herself surprised. Goliath and Brooklyn growled while Tom drew his sword and motioned for Catherine to stand behind him. The other gargoyles eyes turned white and one turned scarlet. Xanatos, Fox, and Owen drew guns from behind. Demona just smiled," Why do you always ruin my plans Goliath!" Goliath growled," No matter. We have you now Demona and you know that there is no escape!" Demona grinned," Oh really? Well meet my associates..." From the window west of Demona came a battle cry that was very farmiliar. The window shattered and Thailog landed next to Demona Growling and eyes glowing white. From the window on the east came another battle cry, this one not farmiliar to any of the gargoyles. The window shattered and the most beautiful and farmiliar gargoyle to Goliath landed gracefully next to Demona. She was growling and her eyes were a fierce scarlet color. Demona grinned at Goliath's face. He was practically going gaga for Elisa in her new form. Demona smiled," Meet Thailog and Elisa Maza." Thailog growled,"Hello, Father." Elisa growled angrily," Goliath, I am surprised! I thought that you would have recognized me by now." All jaws dropped stimontaniously. The three gargoyles then attacked. Elisa slashed her tail out and Fox went down. Angela growled and ran towards Elisa. Elisa side stepped out of the way and Angela missed her and hit empty air instead. Elisa reached out and grabbed one of Angela's arms. Elisa yanked her arm backwards And then threw her over her head and at the ground. Angela tried to get up but decided the pain was to great to fight again. Brooklyn jumped at Elisa. Elisa knew Brooklyn was harder to fight than Angela and Brooklyn was more experienced in gargoyle fighting. Brooklyn got Elisa to the ground but Elisa knew they were still at a stand still. Brooklyn growled eyes glowing while Elisa did the same. Elisa knew about her wing tips and decided to do an experiment. She tried to move them and they did move succsesssfully. They moved but she could see why they barely ever used them, they were hard to move at times. Elisa lifted her left wing and brought it over next to Brooklyn's face and slashed. Brooklyn now had deep bloody scratches on his face that was obviously hurting. He lifted up his head and took down his guard as he yelled in pain. Elisa reached her feet up and like a catapault sent him flying across the room. He colided with Tom and hit the wall. Elisa saw Hudson and Xanatos coming towards her....her eyes turned greenish and she held out her hands. Green energy shot from her hands sending Hudson and Xanatos crashing into Owen. Owen was struggliling to get out of some kind of chain,when Hudson smaked him backwards. Elisa stood up and looked around, everyone was up and helping Goliath or on the ground. Elisa counted again and realized that she was missing two gargoyles. Just as she was about to count again to make sure she was right, something colided with her hard, and she was shoved to the ground. The floor coming at her was the only thing she remembered seeing. ************ When she awoke she felt weird but sat up slowly. She was tied but she didn't know what to do about it until the plans came back to her. She then saw Broadway and Lex guarding her as she sat in the corner. She then heard taloned feet comming to the door from the next room, she sat up which brought Broadway and Lex to their feet seeing she was awake. Goliath walked into the room. He stared hard at Elisa and Elisa almost felt sorry for him...ALMOST a part of her was saying that she cared for him and could not hurt him. The other half was much stronger and seemed to control her mind and her every movement. It was saying that she only obeyed Thailog and Demona and that everyone and everything else was expendable. Elisa had no control over that half, and fight as she could she only got a few moments freedom but that was it before the 'other half' took control. Goliath stared at her harder this time," Elisa? what is wrong? What happened to you?" Goliath stared at her but then realized that she was sleeping in a ways. Puck and Alex drifted into the room just then and saw her. They knew something was wrong and tried to figure out what. Alex and Puck then tried to go into her mind and search. But just then someother magical forcxe kicked them out. Puck then grew worried," Goliath...Elisa has some magic in her that is natural and has always been there but there is some more unnatural evil magic and together they are quite strong. I can not read what she is thinking but I know that she is under a spell and those two magics put together is bad." Goliath looked confused," Natural magic?" Puck nodded she is like Fox and Alexander here..she has fey blood in her..." Goliath still confused said," But how? From where?" Puck sighed," Her grandfather is Coyote the trickster. He fell in love with a human female and had a kid. You have met Peter Maza...he turned his back on his heritage and Coyote took the powers away. When Elisa came along he gave them to her. I do not know how she found out or how she learned magic but....you get the picture.." Goliath just nodded and watched as Elisa began to wake up again," Goliath.... what..happened?" Goliath looked at her," Do you feel all right?" Elisa nodded," Where did these chains come from?" " You mean that you do not remember anything at all?" Elisa shook her head no," All I remember was being changed into a gargoyle." Goliath unhooked the chains and helped her up. "Come it is time to sleep." Broadway and Lexington had already left and Puck was giving Goliath unsure glances. Goliath just ignored Puck and took Elisa to his perch for the day. Just as everyone was turning to stone, Elisa quickly morphed a mouse. She looked up with her mouse eyes, And then she quickly scampered away. ****25 minutes later**** Elisa scampered out of the crack in the wall and then morphed her human form. She looked around and was satisfied. She was in Owen's office and apparently he was not in. She grinned as she saw the security camera in the corner. She ducked low and zapped the cord from behind. The red light then shut off. Elisa walked over to Owen's desk. Towards the bottom there was a lock. She raised her finger and the drawer opened. Inside she found what she was looking for...the black crystal. She slowly picked it up and felt the magic run through her. She smiled an evil smile and slowly picked up some charms out of the drawer that was with the crystal. She shut the drawer and dissapeared. She reappeared next to Goliath's frozen form. She pointed to a corner next to one of Castle Wyvern's towers and a portal opened. She dropped the crystal and amulets inside. She closed the portal slowly and hopped next to Goliath. She morphed back into a gargoyle and was turned to stone. ******** Gargoyle roars shattered through the night sounds. The Gargoyles all yawned and hopped down from their perches, waiting for there assignments. Goliath watched as Elisa hopped down and smiled. Goliath smiled and stepped down next to her. Brooklyn slowly walked inside the castle with Hudson and Bronx. Brooklyn missed Elizabeth and everyone knew that they had something speacial going between them and let him skip patrol that evening. Elisa grinned when she remembered that Elizabeth was in the outworld for a while. Elisa thought. Goliath then started assigning the patrol teams," I have buisness to attend to so I will patrol later in the night. Lex, you and Elisa are to go patrol together. Broadway, Angela, the same patrol as last night." Elisa nodded and watched as Tom and Catherine were staring at her. Elisa just ignored them and lifted up higher into the sky, following Lexington. Elisa then hopped that they did not realize what was going on...but she did hope that they would. Her thoughts were broken when Lexington said," You know how to glide very well. You must learn fast." Elisa nodded trying to think of a way to get rid of Lex," Umm yeah...it is kind of easy once you think about it." Lexington grinned and then looked concerned," Are you ok? I mean...you did fight against us last night...what happened?" Elisa sighed," I don't know...I was human then a gargoyle and my mind was not full, it kept saying to obey Demona and Thailog." Lexington stared at her," You are allright now?" Elisa smiled," Of course Lex...and I am sorry about last night." Lex just nodded," That is ok..you were not yourself." Elisa then twitched her hand at the sky above her and winds picked up. The winds began to get stronger and shoved Elisa and Lex away from each other. Lex was shoved farther away and the winds seemed to stay right near him. Elisa Perched on the side of a building and watched with satisfaction. Elisa then hopped of and glided towards Demona's house. ******** Elisa landed on the balcony and let herself in. She caped her wings around her and stepped towards the basement. She walked down the stepps and heard Demona cursing before she saw her. Demona and Thailog were trying to pick up the black crystal but with no such luck. Elisa slowly walked into the room," Hello master Demona. Hello master Thailog." Demona looked up," Can you pick this cursed thing up!!!" Elisa slowly walked over to the crystal. She reached her hand over the top of it and picked it up gently. Thailog grinned," She has fey blood in her which probably means that she can pick it up and we can't." Demona growled at him knowing that he was probably correct," Well then Elisa.. you know the plan. Don't let me down or you will pay." Elisa nodded and handed her a chain with a silver heart pendant on it painted red. She handed Thailog one as well and then dissapeared with the black crystal and the hidden pendants. ******** Meanwhile Lexington was getting chewed out for letting Elisa go like that. " I am sorry," Said Lex looking nervous. Goliath growled," Do you have any idea what could happen to her out there?!" Elisa appeared in the shadows hidden. She saw what was happening and tossed the crystal into her pouch. She took the pendants in one hand and stepped forward. " I am right here and perfectly fine Goliath." Goliath whirled around," Elisa aare you ok?" Elisa nodded," I am fine big guy..but I need some time of my own a little to think. I am going to leave for a while...I am sorry," She then handed the pendants to each of the gargoyles. " Keep these....I shall be with you always." And with that Elisa glided away and dissapeared when she was certain that nobody could see her. In the middle of the warp a single tear slid down Elisa's cheek. She was right she was leaving....but shewasn't sure she was coming back... Her eyes continued to shed tears and just as the portal opened the last single tear slid down her cheek before being wiped away by a greeen light in her eyes. SHe was in her home...Africa jungle ********* "This is bad...," Owen walked in Xanatos's office. "What?" Asked Xanatos standing up. " My sister, Blood, is loose...." Xanatos stood confused Owen spoke up and explained,"My evil sister who was once bent on destroying the world i probably free. SHe killed hundreds of races who weren't wearing her pendants, giving the person who freeed her the whole world to themself and whoever wore Blood's pndants. I trapped her and her pendants in a black crystal for seeveral centuries. Now the crystal which was once hidden is now gone and only magic could have taken it." Xanatos nodded slowly understanding," Who do you suspect?" "Elisa Maza" Xanatos nodded," Figures..where is she?" Owen turned on a traker on the computer,"She has left the country.." Xanatos looked at Owen," THis is bad right?" Owen nodded "Uh oh..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THank you for reading my 4th story and the second will be out towards the end of the month. :)
