Disclaimer: I own nothing but this story and any Ocs used. Just to tell y'all, no, Brooklyn isn't my favorite Gargoyle from the series, Goliath is, but I highly approve of the Goliath/Elisa pairing instead of pairing him up with my OC here. But, don't be surprised if the relationship of Goliath and my OC is pretty close, like father/daughter relationship, I ain't takin' him away from Elisa. No, that does not mean Elisa will be featured in this story, sorry. So, when I saw that Brooklyn got his heart broken twice by both Angela and Maggie, and maybe Demona, I thought up this girl for him. Hope you enjoy this story, I've been in a kinda good ol' Gargoyles faze for a while, that's why it's taking so long to update on any of my other stories; I apologize if y'all get disappointed in me, you know why now. Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter 1

"What's the matter, Quinn? Afraid of heights or somethin'?" Quinn Stryker grimaced in anger at the words that were meant to get her to back down and admit that she couldn't make her way up the Eyrie Building where the grey rubble had been falling off of about three hours before.

Quinn had been standing not far off to the side of the crash site, getting verbally abused by two of the meanest girls in her eleventh grade class, and trying to attack them with the same words of hatred.

...Or attempting to..

That was when her thoughts got side tracked when the rocks crumbled and fell to the street.

After that, Amber Hales decided to test how brave Quinn really was, sadly, that involved going all the way up to wherever those rocks came from. Quinn narrowed her grey/blue eyes at the blonde haired girl, "Sorry to disappoint, Amber; but, no, it's not the heights I'm afraid of, it's the sneaking around the people who own the building that get's me." she explained, moving her crimson red bangs from in front of her eyes. Quinn had unnaturally red hair that matched the blood that flowed through her veins, and big blue eyes that turned grey when she was peeved about something. Her skin was rather pale, when she lied still on something, someone could easily mistake her for being dead. Her shoulder length hair was pulled back in a high pony tail, and her bangs crossed over her left eye, but tended to hang down in front of her nose as well if she wasn't careful enough.

She was dressed in a long sleeved black shirt with a slight V-neck, faded blue jeans, and black leather boots that stopped at her mid-calf, and were buckled, the bottoms of her jean legs disappearing inside the boots. Around her neck was a silver ring with two dragons etched into the titanium, hanging by a gold chain.

Her heart shaped face turned up to the sky in search of the base for these rocks, but came up empty when all she saw was grey rainclouds, 'Please don't be a thunder storm.' she begged silently. Looking back at Amber and her lackey, 'Claire Alves.' she corrected herself upon looking the other blonde in her hazel eyes, she saw Amber grin wickedly, "Hey, all I heard was that your scared." she pointed out and Quinn silently cursed herself for her slip of the tongue, before glaring deadly at Amber, "You want me to go up there? Fine! I'm goin'." she exclaimed, turning and running in the direction of the Eyrie Building.

When she got to the entrance, she stopped to see if Amber and Claire were watching, after seeing that they were, she quickly turned back to the rotating door and slipped inside luckily without being seen by any adults that were currently trying to keep civilians outside.

She turned and saw a few cops getting into the elevator to her left, sticking close to the wall, she managed to get inside the small space without anyone noticing, 'Wow! I must be loved up there somewhere if I'm this lucky now!' she exclaimed happily in her mind as she backed up to be behind the policemen in the small space. She looked over at the buttons on the wall, and saw at the very top of the panel, that the last button was glowing a feint yellow, 'We must be headed to the very top.' Quinn concluded, silently aweing at the speed the elevator was going when she saw it was about two floors away from the top of the building.

When they made it to their destination, Quinn stuck to the wall as she entered into the rather large room that resembled a castle looking room where the Queen and King sat at one point a long time ago.

She quietly gasped as she stayed behind a tapestry to her left, waiting until the people in the room either walked out, or became too caught up in their conversations to notice a seventeen year old girl in the room with them. When they did as she thought, she silently came out from behind the work of art and slowly made her way to an open doorway that was to her right; when she got there, she quickly ducked out of the current room, and into the next hallway. Quinn waited at the grey bricked doorway with baited breath while two people stood next to the entrance, discussing something with the building's owner, Mr. Xanatos. She could only gather a few clippings from the conversation, even then, she didn't really pay attention to whatever it was they were saying as she slid herself against the wall, making her way to the stairs that lead outside; she could tell by the black, starry sky. 'Odd,' she thought, 'last I checked, there were rainclouds out there.' with this thought she smiled a little bit despite what she had to put up with, silently applauding the fact that she wouldn't have to face a storm now.

She finally made it to the stairs and stepped up one step, cautiously throwing her head behind her to see if anyone was watching from the doorway, when there was no one, she continued up the rest of the steps. Quinn finally made it out onto the main part of her destination, and she saw that it was connected to a whole castle looking thing that spread out on the entire rooftop of the Eyrie Building. She let in a breath in awe, "Wow." she whispered at the beautiful sight of the renaissance castle on the top of the rather large building.

She heard something growling from behind her, and turned around sharply with a startled gasp, "H-hello?" she asked in a quiet voice, her eyes going wide in fear of what might be lurking in the darkness of the hallway she exited only a few seconds before. A rather large beast of some sort stepped into the light where she could see it better.

It had two horns on the front of it's head where she guessed there would have been eyebrows on a human. It had two aquatic fins where the ears would have gone, and it also had three small spikes running down it's back. It had a dark blue coloring on it's back, and from what she saw of it's chest, it was a white color on the belly. It crouched down lower to the ground, still standing on it's four legs and sniffing the air as it came closer to her, growling when it caught her eyes. At least, that's what she thought happened, there wasn't a pupil in it's clear eyes.

It advanced on her, and she stumbled back a foot in slight fear, before scrambling to her feet, holding out one hand to it in defense, the other was behind her, checking for anything she might hit if she backed up any further. Quinn took a breath, "It's okay, I mean no harm, I promise." she said sincerely, holding out her hand for him to sniff.

When it did, it looked a little wary for a second before panting, much like a dog. It had it's tongue sticking out of the side of it's mouth, and she saw it's back relax a little bit. She smiled at it as it walked up to her, the stub that was it's tail going from side to side in giddy delight; when it was close enough, it jumped up and put it's front two taloned paws on her shoulders. She giggled a little when it licked her face, raising one hand up to pat it on the head, "Aww, your pretty sweet, aren't ya?" she asked it as it continued to lick her face happily, causing her to giggle more and her smile to broaden.

Quinn continued to happily pat the beast/dog as it got her scent, giggling when it licked her, and smiling throughout the experience. That is, until the sound of someone clearing their throat from behind her got both of their attentions. The beast/dog looked a little sad for a second as it slowly took it's taloned paws off her shoulders, switching it's moods to being happy when she continued to pat it on the head. She turned around and her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a nine foot tall, lavender skinned being with a long mane of dark brown hair on it's head. He had a strong looking chin that was squared, and he was rather muscular, clearly not someone you wanted to mess with if you weren't careful. He had taloned feet, and he stood up on his toes, he had a weird cloak thing that seemed to clasp together on his chest, it was made of some sort of leathery looking thing that was black on the outside, it looked lavender on the inside from what she could tell. He was also wearing some sort of brown loincloth that was held on his hips by a black belt with a golden buckle, and he had a long lavender tail out behind him.

He had four horns on his face, where his eyebrows would go if he had any, and he was studying her with a pair of pitch black pupils in white eyes. Quinn looked surprised to see him for a second, then shook her head to try and clear it of the fear that started to invade her mind, "I'm sorry, you startled me for a second." she explained with a slight smile directed to him. He looked absolutely stoic as he walked toward, she stayed where she was with the beast/dog standing next to her.

He stood in front of her, towering high over her head, she had crane her neck to look up at him in his face. The being blinked in surprise at her, she was not running away in fear like he thought she surely would at the first sight of him. He was not expecting this. She cleared her throat slightly and held out a hand to him, "I'm Quinn Stryker, sir." she introduced as he shifted one arm from behind the cloak looking thing and brought out a large taloned hand to grasp her own, automatically dwarfing her pale hand, "They call me Goliath." he had a deep voice that rumbled in his chest and vibrated into her hand.

When they pulled their hands away, his cloak suddenly turned into a pair of large wings that looked half like dragon wings, but with these things on the top where they would connect together on his chest when he pulled them forward. Goliath crossed his large arms over his chest, "What are you doing in our castle?" he asked. Quinn shrugged, not about to say she was dared to go up here by two of the popular girls in her school, "I was curious. I didn't mean to trespass, I just wanted to know what's going on." she explained, placing her hands behind her back and looking up at him innocently, "Can I ask what exactly you are, Goliath?" she asked him as the beast/dog rubbed against her leg to be pet again.

Goliath looked at her for a second before turning and looking out towards a faraway tower across the top of the roof, she waited patiently for him to answer. When he did, he turned the side of his head in her direction and looked at her out of the corner of his eye, "I am a Gargoyle." he answered the surprised girl.

SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER

"Hey, who's Goliath talking to?" a red Gargoyle with a birdlike beak asked the other three Gargoyles, raising one talon towards the tower that Goliath was standing on, seeming to be keeping a conversation with a small human girl with firey hair and their guard beast was standing up against her leg as if he'd known her for a while.

The smallest Gargoyle blinked owlishly at them, his big eyes actually mimicking the nocturnal creature, "Should we go check it out?" he looked up at his Rookery Brothers and the former Clan leader with a look of curiosity and slight worry. The last humans they had dealt with hadn't exactly been friendly, and he didn't want that to happen again with whoever that girl was.

One of the larger Gargoyles, a big blue one with aquatic fins where his ears would go, looked back at the olive colored one, "I think we should." he said, spreading his large wings out to catch a draft of air to get him up to the tower, the other three following his example and spreading their wings, or in the smallest one's case, holding his arms out at either side of him to spread his webbed wings.

A draft of air finally hit their wings and they guided themselves to land on the top of the tower, around the startled girl who hadn't known they were there until they landed.

She took a step back and blinked at them, the beast/dog staying behind her, rubbing his head against the back of her leg to try and reassure her, "I didn't know there were others like you, Goliath." she told the lavender Gargoyle with a slight smile, standing up straight. Goliath looked at what was left of his Clan, "Barely, but yes, there are others like me. This is it." he indicated to the newcomers, "Everyone, this is Quinn Stryker. She means no harm, she was simply curious." he introduced, turning his head in the direction that the sun would come up on in about fifteen minutes and they would turn to stone. He looked back at Quinn, who was smiling at the Gargoyle beast as he barked at her happily, "If you will excuse us, Quinn, I think it is time you went home." Goliath said to the red haired girl.

Quinn looked up at the sound of his voice, "Wait, will I see you again? I wanna know more about your kind." she explained sheepishly under the inquisitive gazes of the three younger Gargoyles, her eye catching the beaked one's eyes. Goliath seemed to ponder this for a second before looking out past the clouds and at a faraway rooftop that he could easily get to, "We will meet over there." he pointed at it. Quinn followed his talon and nodded, "Okay, I'll meet you over there sometime in the aftern-" "After dark." the lavender Gargoyle interrupted calmly. She blinked for a second before nodding at him, "Okay, after dark it is, then. I'll see ya then." she said, turning back to the way she had come from, stopping to give the guard Gargoyle one last pat. She continued out the exit, waving goodbye to them, "Bye, guys!" she called out and disappeared in the shadows of the hallway.

The red Gargoyle looked at his Rookery Brothers, "What did you think of her?" he asked them, taking his spot on his pedestal to get ready for the daytime. The other two younger ones followed him to their own pedestals, "She seemed nice." the smallest one said with an approving nod of his head, "Yeah, and she smelled good, like strawberries and apples." the blue one agreed. The eldest Gargoyle looked up from his pedestal and to Goliath, who was taking his usual spot high above the others, "The lass seemed fine to me, but it's up to Goliath to decide if she can be trusted." he said it loud enough for said Gargoyle to hear him.

Goliath said nothing but smirked a little as the sun came out and froze them for the day.

I hope this chapter was good enough for y'all, I enjoyed typing this one, and can't wait to type the next chapter.

Please review! I love getting those.

If you flame, which I don't want you to, then you obviously have a mental malfunction.
