"The Bronx there is no reason to sound like a dying cat," I say as the creature keeps howling as he had for the last minute in half since our bought touched the swampy shore.
looking around I see fog surrounding the hill feeling a slight chill making me wrap my wings around me and pat Bronx on the head.
"How Atmospheric, I don't know whether to expect Vampires or Sherlock Holmes" I hear Elisa say but I shake my head "If it was Sherlock Holmes we would be knee-deep in a city, now the Vampires maybe".
"where do you suppose Avalon sent us now?" Angela asks getting closer to our father "somewhere cold and wet that smells like the bottom of a garbage can?" Eliza retorts making me snort a little
"Elisa doesn't talk about New York like that it has its good days," I tell her making her laugh a little.
"This odor is from a peat Bog, could we be in Scotland again," Goliath says but I shake my head "We're in Ireland, almost the exact same from Scotland just wetter".
suddenly ear piercing wailing bounces from the trees making me hold my ears "What the hell is that noise?" I yell trying to be heard but I can't reach the others.
We collectively try to move through the fog to find shelter from the wailing but Elisa sinks to the ground the noise unbearable to her as well as Bronx. I watch Goliath and Angela pick the two up following them as we find a higher hill and leap off to get some distance but the sound doesn't change. it's almost like it's inside my head just bouncing around gaining speed and volume.
I see Angela fall out of the sky with Bronx next to my Dad and Elisa, my eye sick starts to blurry as the sound continues "Please make it stop" I cry as my wings give out falling through the sky hitting a hard but thick surface.
Opening my eyes I see us sinking into the mud, I try to push against it or flap my wings but they push right through. eyes widening I look frantically to my dad and Angela who are sinking quickly as well "Dad Help!" I scream my heart beating quickly as the mud starts to encase my head. My dad reaches towards me Screaming my name but the light finally dissipates and the screaming finally stops.
"Red stop" I laugh as mimicks the people on the tv as we clean up a game of monopoly. Red laugh picking up all the money that was thrown everywhere putting it back in the box "it's crazy to think that this is how life actually is in some cases for humans" I say looking at the board then the small metal car that lays in the palm of my claw looking so tiny it's hard to believe I haven't broken it.
"I know what you mean, we have a simple need in life, to protect and serve others but humans have wants and desires that can be unmatched," Brooklyn says making me look at him.
"We can have wants and desires as well"
"yeah but it's a little different they are heavily motivated by money but us," he says as he takes my claw into his making me blush a little "we don't want to be alone, we need to have company and friends. of course we still want to have a purpose of serving and protecting but we don't have jobs or money".
"I work at the police station though" I retort seeing where he is getting at but still pushing "yes but it's so you can spend time with Elisa and protect this city not because you have bills and need the money".
"What I'm saying is We, Gargoyles have a purpose that humans wish they could grasp and I'm glad that one, you were a gargoyle first and second I'm glad your my gargoyle," he says making me smile looking down.
slowly my eyes open, my body feeling sore and exhausted, I look around seeing Elisa still passed out and my Dad and sister turned to stone. Looking around I see we are in some kind of cave with symbols scratched into the sides with no visible way in or out making me sigh.
