Scorpion in your Veins Love can purge any venom Goliath was gliding over Central Park.He really wanted some time without Nameless or the clan.Nameless didn't let him alone and the clan was always fighting.Maybe that's why he was always in a bad mood.Something made him look down.He saw a couple being robbed.It was Margot and Brendan.Those two again?,Goliath thought. Give us all your money!,the one with a black mask said.Oh again?,Brendan said.Give it to me or die!,the robber said. Goliath glowed eyes and he swooped down to the robber.What the hell?!?,the robber said.Goliath threw the robber to the floor.Ahhh!!!That monster again??,Margot said.Run!!,Brendan said.They scream and they ran out.They didn't knew of who they were afraid of the most,of the monster or of the robber. The robber got up.It took out a laser gun.Get this monster!,he said as he shoot at Goliath.Goliath roared as the laser blast threw him to the grass.Goliath landed over a hole in the earth that was a scorpion's house.The scorpion's house was buried upon itself.Goliath stood up and he roared at the robber.The scorpion walked away of his destroyed house as it could.With his tail he stinged the tip of Goliath's tail a couple of times.Goliath roared in pain and he threw the scorpion away with a wave of his tail.Goliath ran to the robber and he punched him in his forehead.The robber fell to the floor unconscious. Goliath walked to the laser gun and he grabbed it.You are not going to walk away from me like nothing had happened after what you did to me,and besides,you won't hurt anyone else!,Goliath said.He roared and he shoot at the scorpion,blasting it in half.Goliath threw the laser gun to the floor.I better get to the castle before the venom takes effect,Goliath said.Goliath climbed up a tree and he glided to the castle. Goliath was feeling very,very ill.It was like they were taking the life away from him with a grasp.He had to get to the castle,in there they can help him.Goliath roared softly.He looked at the moon,jut three hours for the sun to rise.He grabbed his head and he landed at the castle.His head started aching badly.Goliath roared in pain. Nameless heard the roar.Goliath?,she said.She inmediatly stood up and she ran to Goliath.Let's go!,Brooklyn said as he waved his hand for the others to follow him.Right behind you Brook',Broadway said. Nameless was glancing around to find Goliath.She heard a moan.She gasped in terror when she found Goliath.Goliath was moaning in pain and his tail was convulsing.Goliath roared as his eye pupils went up and he loosed consciousnes.Nameless ran to him and she hold his head up.Goliath!!!,she yelled as she shook his head.Nameless slowly placed Goliath's head on the floor and she took his hand.She patted it a few times.No answer.Goliath!!!,answer me!!!,she put his hand on the floor and she placed her arms on his shoulders and she shook him.Goliath!!! The others hurried to Nameless when they heard her screaming.What's wrong?,Hudson asked.Hudson glanced down and he saw Goliath.He didn't looked very well.Lad!,Hudson kneeled next to Goliath.Lad!Wake up lad!,Hudson said as he shook him slowly.Still no answer.Father!,Angela said as she saw her father.She kneeled next to Goliath.I-Is he alright?,Angela asked.Nameless glanced at Angela.It made her want to have a child of Goliath.She placed her hand on Angela's shoulder.Let's just hope he is,Nameless said. What'll we do???,Broadway said.Let's take the lad in,maybe Owen can help him,Hudson said.Meanwhile,I'll call Elisa she has to know what's going on,Angela said.Aye lass.I'll take the lad in,can ye' help me Broadway?The lad is kinda heavy,Hudson said.Sure Hudson,Broadway said.I'll prepare one of the spare rooms of the castle for Goliath,Nameless said as she ran in.Angela walked to the telephone. Hudson lifted Goliath by his arms,while Broadway lifted him by his legs.Ye'll be alright lad,just dont give up,Hudson said.They carried Goliath in.Nameless walked to them and she showed them where Goliath will rest.They plced Goliath on the bed.Oh my love.Why you and not that human?,Nameless thought as she saw Goliath.Tears were flowing down her cheeks. Angela walked into Xanatos's office.In what may I be of service?,Xanatos said.I need to use the phone to call Elisa,Angela said.For what may I ask?,Xanatos asked.My father is very ill and Elisa needs to know,Angela said.Xanatos showed her the phone.Angela picked it up and she marked her number.It rang. Elisa was having a shower and all of the sudden she heard the phone.Oh who might that be?,Elisa said.She walked away of the shower and she wrapped a towel around her.Don't hang up!,Elisa said as she ran to the phone.She picked it up,Hello?,Elisa said. Elisa.This is Angela calling from Xanatos's office.Look,you have to come to the castle Elisa!,Angela said. Elisa was beggining to worry.Why?Angela what's wrong???,Elisa said. My father is very ill Elisa!,Angela said. I'll be on my way!Just let me dress up,Elisa said.Ok,Angela said.She hang up the phone.Elisa ran to her closet and she put her ropes on.Oh Goliath,Elisa said.Elisa got her car keys and she ran to her car.She drove to the castle. Goliath was still unconscious.His skin had gotten a more purple tone.And the tip of his tail had swollen,because of the venom.He was very hot,by the fever.Nameless was sitting next to him,holding his hand.Nameless have asked the clan to stay in the living room,that she wanted to be alone with her love.Nameless was crying.Oh my love!You can't die!I need you!I love you even if you don't love me,Nameless said as she put his hand on her face.Tears flowed down his hand. The clan was on the living room.I can't believe we are sitting here doing nothing!,Lexington said.The lass asked us to stay here for a few minutes lad,Hudson said.Besides,there's nothing we can possibly do,Brooklyn said.Angela was getting impatient,we have to do something!We can't let him die!,Angela said.What do you suggest lass?,Hudson asked. Elisa arrived at the living room.She was panting for running s much.Now then,what,is wrong,with Goliath?,Elisa said,regaining her breath.Hudson glanced at Elisa.I know what's happening to the lad,I have seen it before,Hudson said.Everyone stared at Hudson.Really?,Angela said,what is it?,she finished. Long time ago,Hudson began,Demona's mother was stinged by a scorpion.She got really ill,with the same illness that Goliath is experiencing now.She died after a slow,agonizing suffering.But she didn't loose consciousnes,like Goliath did.At least the lad won't suffer what she suffered,Hudson said. Demona's mother?Did her mate died too that night?,Lexington asked.No,he mated again a few weeks later,Hudson asked.Wow!He got over it quite fast!,Broadway said.That explains why Nameless is Demona's 1/2 sister,Angela said.Aye lass.Where is Goliath right now?,Elisa asked.He's at one of the spare rooms with Nameless,Broadway said.I'm going to see him,Elisa said.The lass won't be so happy to see you,Hudson said,you know how she feels about you. Elisa looked at Hudson.I don't care,I have to see Goliath,with these words Elisa went to Goliath. Nameless kept looking at Goliath.She wanted to do something,she had to.Her life won't be worth 1/2 a penny without him.My love,please wake up,Nameless said.Nameless heard the door openning.She glanced at it.Can I come in?,Elisa said. Nameless was about to glow eyes but she controlled herself.Maybe he will wake up if he hears Elisa,Nameless thought.After all,I care too much for Goliath that I'll do anything to help him,even if I need the human. Nameless looked at Elisa,tears flowing down her cheeks.Yes,you can come in,Nameless said.Elisa walked in.How is he?,Elisa asked.Nameless cried,he is very ill human,Nameless said.Nameless holded Goliath's hand.It was getting hotter by the minute. Elisa sitted at the other side of the bed,next to Goliath.She looked at Nameless and then at Goliath.How long has he been like this?,Elisa asked.About half an hour,Nameless said,he has to wake up!,Nameless yelled.Take it easy,he will wake p when he is better,Elisa said.Nameless threw her head to Goliath's chest,and she cried.My love please don't die!!!,she thought.Elisa just looked at Nameless,crying on Goliath's chest.Is it possible that this gargoyle loves Goliath so much?,Elisa thought. Owen entered the room and he glanced at the two females.Can I check him out ladies?,Owen said.Elisa and Nameless backed away from Goliath for Owen to check him out.Owen got next to Goliath.He noticed that the tone of his skin had changed.Owen placed his hand on Goliath's forehead.Goliath was very hot.Owen raised one of Goliath's eyelids and he noticed that his eye pupils were up.He walked back and he glances at the females,to give his prescription.I'm afraid that he won't last too much if we can't get that fever down.It's a miracle he hasn't talked in his sleep with such a fever.Nameless just sobbed.What can we do?,Elisa asked. Xanatos has already called a doctor that you can trust.His name is Dr. Sato.He specializes on people and on animals.Gargoyles are like humans you know,so he can give Goliath medicine for Goliath to stabilize,Owen said. Where is that Dr. Sato?,Nameless asked.Right here,Owen said as he oppened the door.Owen walked out to bring the injections and everything.Hello,the doctor said.Nameless and Elisa just looked at each other.Sato walked next to the ladies.Hi.I'm Dr. Sato,don't worry.I will do as I can for him to survive,Sato said with a bow.Please!Save him!,Nameless pleaded. Dr. Sato walked to Goliath.Is he purple like that?,Sato asked.No,he is lavender,Elisa said.Oh.Well,I'll have to check his vitals,probably take some blood and prescribe him some medicine to contra-rest the venom's effect and help him wake up.Owen walked to the room with a table with the injections.Sato takes the stetoscope to listen to Goliath's heart beats. Goliath was waiting for Elisa at the altar with his father next to him.I'm so proud of you son!,Goliath's father said.Thanks father,Goliath said.They glanced at the entrance of the churh.Elisa had arrived!Peter Maza had her by her arm. Oh my daughter,take care,Peter said as he walked with her to Goliath.I'll be fine dad,stop worrying!,Elisa said,half joking. The wedding song started to play.She is beautiful!,Goliath said.Everyone at the seats looked at the bride.She looked beautiful.All the gargoyles were there at the seats.All the gargoyle's friends were there too.Peter Maza took Elisa to her will be husband,Goliath.Peter Maza glanced at Goliath.Make her happy Goliath,Peter said.And so I will,Goliath said. Peter Maza looked at Elisa.Peter Maza was almost crying in happiness.Peter placed Elisa's talons in his talons.Oh my Elisa.Take care,Peter said.Please dad!,Elisa said.He walked to the seat where his family was.Peter started crying.She is happy Peter,Dyane said.The priest started the ceremony.And you,Goliath.Do you accept Elisa as your wife to love her and respect her until death tears you appart?,the priest said.I accept,Goliath said.And you,Elisa Maza.Do you accept Goliath as your husband to love him and respect him until death tears you appart?,the priest said.I accept,Elisa said.The rings?,the priest said.Hudson came in with the ring that Goliath will give to Elisa.Nameless came in with the ring that Elisa will give to Goliath.Goliath took the ring and he placed it on Elisa's talon.Elisa took the ring and she placed it on Goliath's talon. I now pronounce you.Husband and wife.You make kiss the bride,the priest said with a smile.Another couple united in holy matrimony,the priest thought.Goliath looked at Elisa and he kissed her.Elisa kissed him back.Everyone in the church cheered.Yeah they kissed!!!,Angela yelled. All those thoughts,all those wishes had turned black.Goliath suddenly felt like his life had returned to his body.From that happiness he felt while he dreamed,all he could feel now was weakness and pain. Elisa...,Goliath said weakly,he was starting to recover consciousnes.Elisa glanced at Goliath. Goliath?,Elisa said.Nameless glanced around.I though I heard Goliath,Nameless said. Elisa...,Goliath said again.Nameless took his hand.Goliath!,she patted it a few times.Elisa...,that's all Goliath could say.He's waking up!,Nameless shouted. Angela was at the door.She entered.How is he?,Angela said.He's waking up!,Nameless said.What?,Angela walked to him.Oh father!,Angela said.Elisa...,Goliath said as he oppened his eyes.He looked at his Elisa,at his daughter and his ex-was going to be mate,Nameless.Goliath shook his head weakly.Elisa?Nameless?Angela?,Goliath said.Nameless smiled and she put her head in his chest.Oh my love you have awaken!,Nameless said.Love?,Goliath asked,clearly lost.Father!,Angela said.Oh Goliath how you feel?,Elisa asked. Hudson oppened the door.Lad?,Hudson asked.Hudson entered the room,so did Brooklyn,Broadway and Lexington.Goliath looked at them.Goliath shook his head,trying to concentrate.Jalapena,Goliath said.He woke up!,Lexington said.How?He was dying,Broadway said.Good thing he didn't,Brooklyn said,crossing his arms.Goliath looked at Elisa.He remebered the dream for a moment.Goliath took Elisa's hand.My queen,Goliath said.Nameless just lowered her head.Well,at least he's okay,that's all I'll ever want,Nameless thought. We were so worried about you Goliath!,Lexington said.Yeah,we thought you were long gone,Brooklyn said.But how?,Angela said.Goliath layed on the bed,where am I?,Goliath asked weakly.You are at one of the spare rooms,Broadway and Hudson carried you here,Nameless said.Goliath looked at Nameless.So,how you feel?,Lexington asked.Well,enough it appears,Goliath said. What happened to you father?,Angela asked as she took his hand.A...scorpion poisoned me,Goliath said. A scorpion?In Manhattan?Loose?,Elisa said.Strange,Nameless said.Dr. Sato entered the room.So,how's my patient doing?,Dr. Sato asked.Goliath frowned.He is the doctor that cured you,Nameless asked.Oh,well,I am uh,feeling better than how I felt when I glided to the castle.Nameless smiled and he took his hand.I'm happy that you are ok mylove,Nameless said. Dr. Sato walked to Goliath and he took his pulse.Goliath stared at the doctor's hand.Goliath's pulse had stabilized enough.Well,you'll survive,now you need to rest,Dr. Sato said.Goliath rolled eyes.Yes Goliath,I'll stay with you,meanwhile,I can tell you how I arrived in the future,as you asked me to,I'm sure that you'll fall asleep,Nameless said,1/2 joking. Well,Elisa looked at the time,I have to go on duty now,get well Goliath,Elisa said.Elisa walked out.Nameless placed her head on Goliath's chest.Hudson looked at her,well lad',we'll let you lads' alone,Hudson said.Angela smiled and she walked out,so did the trio. Goliath looked at Nameless with a weak smile.He was still feeling weak,but ok.Nameless,I-I...,Goliath said,trailling off.Shhh,Nameless said,sleep now my love.You can tell me when you are feeling okay,Nameless said.Goliath sighed and he closed his eyes.Nameless smiled and she placed her head next to Goliath,her arms crossed so that she can use them as a pillow,and she closed her eyes.
