1087 Chapter 72- Trinity – The First Interview Part 1 (VOLUME 6)

Trinity

~~

Reece and I got ready for the interview bright and early the next morning. Here in Colorado, we were two hours behind their time. And they wanted us on at nine in the morning. Their time, not ours. That meant that we needed to be up, have breakfast, and be ready to go by seven our time. And yes, we were still here at the castle.

Now, people might wonder why we were here and not anywhere near Times Square. Well, that was a simple explanation. The hosts of the show had seen the way that we had traveled through the magical door from the stadium. They weren’t the only ones though. Just about everyone in the world had seen it, if they had watched the broadcast that is.

Knowing that we could ‘materialize’ as they had called it, they wanted us to appear on set through the door. Now, since the show Good Morning America is, and has always been, broadcast live to the masses, there would be absolutely no way to fake the appearance of our arrival in such a magical manner. This would further prove to people that we had abilities that they hadn’t even fathomed.

I knew that it might be a little bit rude to arrive like that, but the hosts had insisted on it. They had wanted to see if it was all real, if all the stuff that had happened and been said over the last couple weeks really had been true. And I didn’t blame them, not really. This was not an easy thing to process.

Now, the way that it was all planned and set up was that Reece and I would be out in the mountains, further cutting into my sleep because I needed to be out there by exactly seven in the morning. Reece and I were in place when we received a phone call from the hosts of the show. It wasn’t any normal call though, it was a video call, one that would show exactly where we were.

“Hello?” I said with a smile into the screen as Reece smiled behind me.

.....

“Trinity? Reece?” Hosts called out to us. “It is nice to see you. We are so happy to have you on the show. Now, can you tell us where you are right now?” This host was a bright and cheery brunette named Kelsey Wallman. Next to her was her cohost, Wayne Newsome.

“Well Kelsey, Reece and I are currently standing at the peak of Raspberry Mountain, a total of ten thousand six hundred and five feet at its fullest height. We hiked here this morning to show you all this lovely view.” That was a lie, we had traveled by magical door, just like we were going to be traveling to the studio. “Isn’t this lovely?” I said in awe as I turned in a slow circle, letting them all see the light that was just spilling over the mountains.

“Oh my, that is beautiful.” Wayne said as he looked at the images on the screen.

“Trinity, how are you all going to get here for your interview, if you are all the way over there in Colorado?” Kelsey asked in mock perplexity.

“Well, that won’t be a problem, Kelsey. I have magic that can get us there. In fact, if you are ready, we will head over now.”

“Oh, yes please.” She spoke enthusiastically in response to my words. “See you soon.”

The call was not disconnected, but Kelsey and Wayne stopped speaking to us and started to speak to the cameras instead.

“As you can see, there is a magical light that is now shining behind Trinity there. That is the magic that she was talking about. And from what we were told, there will be a light here soon as well.” Wayne was explaining to the masses.

“There it is!” Kelsey exclaimed as the magical door started to appear on their side. I wasn’t going too fast here, not wanting them to be frightened from a quick appearance. They needed to have time to adjust to it.

After a few moments, and a little more commentary from the hosts, Reece and I stepped through the door and into the studio. The door, shutting behind us, disappeared immediately.

“Look at that, folks. They really did it. They appeared out of nowhere. It was truly magical. And I have to say, it was quite the sight to see in person.”

“You’ve got that right, Kelsey. I have never seen this kind of thing in person. In fact, before last month, I never knew that it was possible.”

“Neither did I, Wayne.” Kelsey grinned. “Trinity, Reece, will the two of you come and join us over here?”

“Of course.” Reece smiled and took my hand. “Thank you for having us on the show today.”

“No, thank you two for being here. I understand that we are the first to have you on our show, thank you for giving us such an honor.”

There were a lot of pleasantries as we settled into our seats and were greeted properly. Kelsey and Wayne shook our hands and made us feel welcomed.

“Now, we all know why you are here. Of course, last month you two made national news when you revealed to us all that you weren’t humans. And that there were a lot more like you as well.”

“Yes, that is right.” I nodded as I answered her. “In fact, a little more than half of the people in the world are like us in some way.”

“And, how many different types of people are there? I mean, I know there are werewolves and Vampires, but who else?” Wayne asked me without realizing that his words were a little rude. I let it slide though, he didn’t know any better.

“Well, there are a lot. We break them down into larger categories like Shifters, Vampires, Magic Users, and Fae. However, there are a lot of subcategories, especially for the Shifters and Magic Users.”

“That is fascinating. Now, Reece, you are a werewolf, isn’t that right?” He asked after I explained things to him.

“Yes, that is correct. I am a pure wolf, both my parents were wolves as well. We don’t usually use the term werewolf though, because we don’t behave like the stereotypical werewolf in the movies.”

“Oh, OK. So just wolves then. And Shifters in general. Now, Trinity, you are not a pure wolf, right?” Wayne moved on, not dwelling on the negative part of things.

“That is correct. When I was growing up, people thought that I was half human, because they didn’t know who my father was, but then as time went on, we learned the truth. My father was a Warlock. And my mother, and consequently my entire family, wasn’t pure wolf either. They are actually half wolf and half Fae.”

“So, they were all hybrids, and you Trinity, that makes you a tribrid.”

“Yes, Kelsey, that is correct.” I nodded as I answered her. “I am not the only mixed breed among us though, so that isn’t an issue. We believe in accepting everyone, because our community is so vast and diverse.”

“That is so amazing to hear. To know that you are all so inclusive and accepting.” I could see genuine happiness in the eyes of the female host that was speaking with us. She really was happy to be hearing about all this positivity.

We talked a little more about the ways that we lived. How we had families, careers, and did all the things that the humans did.

“I mean, think about it, if we didn’t work with you and live among you, then there would be a lot less people in the world. We’ve been your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends, and in some cases your family. We have been here for a long time. And we have never once tried to take over.”

“Never?” Wayne sounded a little skeptical about that. “There has never, in all of history, been someone that tried to take over the world?”

“Alright, I can’t say that. But humans aren’t any different there. Look at Hitler, Stalin, and all the others that tried to rule the world. They were humans, and they were evil. As for our people though, when one got too big for their britches, he was dealt with from the beginning.”

“Dealt with?” Kelsey gasped. “Y..you mean, you know.” She made a motion that meant that they were killed.

“In older times, yes. But that was how the humans did things as well. Now, we lock them up in a prison that strips them of all magic, they can’t shift, they can’t cast, they are as human there as it is possible to be. We don’t believe in killing, not anymore. We evolved with the times just as the humans did.”

“OK, so you all do not hunt the humans?” Wayne restated what I had just told him, and he did so with a smile on his face to prove that he wasn’t at all scared of either me or Reece.

“No, we do not hunt the humans. Not even the Vampires hunt them. They might make contracts with humans and use them for nourishment, but it is a completely painless process that is no different than donating blood. No one is harmed, and the humans are generously compensated for it. However, most of the Vampires choose to get their nourishment from actual food, like you and I eat, or from animal blood. They do not require human blood for survival.”

“Really?” Kelsey sounded intensely interested in that topic as she leaned forward. “I wonder, how-.” She stopped mid sentence and looked to the side of the stage. She had gotten a message through the earpiece that she was wearing. My sensitive ears picked up on it immediately though, so I already knew what she was hearing. “Well, it appears that we have a caller that wants to discuss this topic with you a little more.” I could tell that she was not happy about this, but she had no choice but to follow along with the producer.

“Alright.” I sat up a little straighter and waited for the caller. “I can answer their questions if they would like. Reece and I have absolutely nothing to hide.”

“I love that.” Wayne looked at the producer, clearly as displeased about the interruption as Kelsey had been. “They are not going to hide anything from us right now. That sort of open honesty will do a lot for them and their cause.”

“I agree.” Kelsey nodded as she too prepared to allow the caller to speak. “Alright then,. Are you there, caller? You can go ahead now, Trinity and Reece are ready for your question.” Her voice was calm, but there was an edge to her eyes that said she was angry at how things were going.

“Yeah, I want to know when exactly they stopped killing people? From what I hear, they are still hunting humans in droves. There are thousands of people that go missing every day, and I just know that they are behind it all. Why else would there be so many people getting killed?” The man’s voice was angry and full of loathing. I knew that there would be people that talked about these things. And that tried to blame us for all the negativity in the world. It was an unfortunate side effect of life. We would just have to deal with it. No matter what it was that life threw at us, we would make it through this time, and we would see a time when the humans and the supernatural lived in peace together.

Taking a deep breath, I braced myself to deal with this man that was calling in to ask such a crude and outright false question. However annoyed it made me though, I needed to remain calm. I needed to make sure that I didn’t let him get to me.
