Trinity
~~
Why? Why did I need to sit through this torture? Why did this have to happen to me? What is the whole purpose of all of this? I wish that someone would be able to tell me without it being something so cryptic.
What was I supposed to be learning from all of this? Was I supposed to learn that I am a horrible person and that I shouldn't be the queen? Was I supposed to go crazy and end up unfit to lead anyone at all? And what would Reece and the kids think about me if they knew all of this about me? If they knew that I let so many lives be destroyed.
"Are you ready?" The other me asked but she didn't seem to be waiting for me to respond at all. Instead, she was already throwing the dust and the fire was responding immediately.
Within seconds I was looking at another screen and another scene. This time it was showing me the abbey in France that the Sentinelle used as their headquarters. At first, I couldn't recall why the other me would be showing me this place at all. However, the scene soon closed in on a certain event that happened during our time there.
A group of men that I had never met before that day had come spilling into the room I was studying.
"My Queen, please excuse this interruption." They all knelt down before me as soon as they were in the room.
"What is it, Perkins? What has happened?" Gabriel, who had been with me, asked the man in the lead.
"The King has found unworthy men among our ranks. And I am afraid things are about to escalate among them?" Perkins responded.
"Escalate?" I made the word a question.
"Yes, your grace. It seems that those found to be disloyal are not taking this revelation lightly. They have gotten quite upset."
"Where are they?" I demanded before Gabriel could say anything else.
"Please, come with us, my Queen." Another of the men requested of me. That was all that we had needed at the time. Gabriel and I followed them from the room.
"Why do I need to see this scene? Why do I need to see these men? I punished them but they were very much alive when I was done with them." I felt the fear in my voice when I asked the other me.
"Just watch, Trinity." Damn her and the knowing, confident grin of hers. I just wanted to smack it off of her face.
The images before me kept changing as the scene unfolded. I followed the men that had summoned me to the scene of the altercation.
"I am your King, and you will listen to me." Reece snarled at two men that were standing before him.
"What is going on here?" I demanded in a loud, commanding voice. The group around me knelt when they felt my anger and frustration. My entourage turned to look at me, all except for Reece and Vincent who were staring at the two suspects with anger. And those two, those who were being accused of disloyalty, just looked at me with angry eyes.
"There was no need for you to come all the way out here, Trinity." Reece's voice was tense and held a biting edge. I could tell by the rigid set of his shoulders and the stiff way he was holding his back that he had been holding back with these two already.
"I know Reece, I was just curious to know what was going on." I had put a calming tone in my voice. "Carry on."
"Queen Trinity?" Gabriel had questioned me with worry, but I didn't let him finish.
"Hush Gabriel, this is needed."
"The people you were waiting for are here, and it's still between you and me." Reece goaded the two men before him.
"It's more than just us." The man with bright orange hair scoffed back at him.
"Precisely." The brown hair man added. "Nearly the entire village is here, along with our Watcher and the Queen." They smirked like they thought that this was the end of it all.
"But the issue is just between us. You heard them, we are to continue." I was slowly walking to the side so that I could see Reece's face more, and I just barely caught the grin on his face.
"You can't do this." The first man, with the orange hair, spoke out with annoyance.
"We've done nothing wrong." The other one added.
"This can be settled easily." Gabriel called out. "Swear your undying loyalty to the Queen and King right here and now. Make an unbreakable oath to them to follow them until they release you from service."
"How could you ask that of us?" The orange haired man seemed shocked.
"How is it that you would even hesitate, Charles? Isn't that why we all joined the Sentinelle? Did you not already vow to devote your life to the Queen when she was sent by the Goddess? That is true for all of us, is it not true for you and Ralph?"
"Gabriel, we will be loyal, but to swear this type of oath, that would put us at their mercy." The man named Ralph looked as if someone had just punched him in the gut when he heard Gabriel's words. Charles didn't look much better.
"We are all at their mercy, that is the whole reason we exist. If it had not been for our devotion to the Goddess, we would all have perished so long ago. I realize that the two of you are among the younger of our numbers, but you have been here long enough to know what it is we are meant to do."
"I did not sign up to serve a brute like him." Charles pointed at Reece, his hand shaking. "Or a half-breed mongrel like her. I will not pledge my loyalty to someone not fit to rule us."
"The Goddess has decreed that she is the only one worthy to take her place, This is not up to you." Ghirald looked stricken by those words, angered and upset to hear such disrespectful words.
I saw the anger intensify on the faces of all my guards, not to mention that rage that flared in Reece's eyes. They were pissed, that was easy to see. These men would not take lightly to me being bad mouthed. Even Dietrich and the Warlocks looked angrier than I could ever imagine.
"You're going to regret saying those words." Reece snarled.
"Really?" Charles looked cocky when he heard Reece's words.
"Do you think you can take both of us by yourself?" Ralph asked.
"Most definitely." The smirk on Reece's face was definitely full of confidence and his voice rang with a note of authority.
"Do you truly intend to fight your king?" The man who had come to collect me and Gabriel was appalled.
"He is not my king." Charles looked even angrier.
"And when he fails to beat us, then you all will see that he is not fit to be here, and neither is she." Ralph added.
Following that scene, Reece fought the two men alone. They had tried to be crafty and tricky, but he won in the end. It was also the battle where Reece had become a Lycan for the first time. Damn was that a sexy part of the scene. He was such an amazing fighter and the best man I had ever known.
The men were alive and well, with bruised egos and body but there was nothing else wrong with them.
"How is it that this changed anything? What could possibly have happened to make this scene worse than what we have already seen?" I was confused for a moment, not sure what it was that the other me wanted to show me right now.
"Come now, Trinity, you did not think that this was going to be it, did you? This scene, this memory is far from over. I would like you to have more faith in me than that. That you would doubt me and my story telling so much wounds me. Do you intend to cause me pain or was that just an added perk for you?" She was grinning right now, having fun as she acted like I had made things so much worse. Like I was a monster that relished in the pain of others.. She was truly a sadistic person. UGH!
