Peyton and the Gargoyles

Demona's Temptation

Peyton stood next to Brooklyn and Broadway as Lexington finished welding two pieces of metal together.

They were in an abandoned auto repair shop and Lexington was busy putting together a motorcycle for Brooklyn.

Broadway asked, "Isn't it finished yet? You've been here every night for a week."

Brooklyn agreed, "C'mon, you've ridden one of these before."

The little olive gargoyle scowled at his older rookery brothers, "You've rode a horse once, can you build one out of spare parts?"

Brooklyn shrugged.

Peyton looked over at the contraption Lexington made, "Wow Lex! I've seen a lot of motorbikes, but this is the best motorbike I've ever seen!"

"Well, If it weren't for your engine repairs and tips on fixing cars, this wouldn't be possible," said Lexington.

Peyton smiled proudly and said, "Ah, don't mention it."

Brooklyn then walked over and grabbed a helmet from the wooden table and poked two holes in the top.

"Why bother with the helmet, your head's hard enough." Broadway teased.

Brooklyn wrapped his wings around him, partly covering his legs which gave it a leathery look and Broadway helped him put on a black leather jacket. The red gargoyle grinned, "Hey, it's all part of the look."

"You look radical Brooklyn!" said Peyton.

"Thanks, kid," replied Brooklyn.

Lexington stood up the bike and placed it down the kickstand and triumphantly grinned, "There, it's ready."

Brooklyn sat down.

"Alright!" Brooklyn grinned as he put on his aviator sunglasses.

Peyton sat behind him and held on tight.

Brooklyn turned on the bike and the engine began to rumble.

"You ready Peyton?" asked Brooklyn to Peyton.

"Let's roll daddy-o!" Peyton replied as she held onto the hand bars in front of the bike.

Brooklyn then sped out of the garage with Peyton behind him. The two gargoyles ran a bit after him, watching the two speed away through the gate and onto the road.

Broadway and Lexington cheered for a moment at the little gargoyles accomplishment before they quieted down and silently looked at each other.

"Hey, don't we get our turns?" asked Broadway.

Lexington shrugged.

"Ever been on a joyride before Peyton?"

"No! First time actually!"

Brooklyn smiled as they sped across the avenues of New York.

"Oh, this is great!" Brooklyn shouts into the air. "I LOVE THIS BIKE!"

The two sped down a doughnut shop where two policemen were enjoying their doughnuts with coffee, but when they saw Brooklyn and Peyton speeding down which caused them to spill their coffee, they buckled up and drove behind them.

Peyton then heard the sound of sirens and turned around.

"Brooklyn!" she cried. "The cops!"

Brooklyn looked confused, that is, till he looked at the rear mirror and noticed.
