Chapter 741 - Split Chapter – What Just Happened? (VOLUME 4)

Reece

I could tell what was supposed to be happening. I knew what was supposed to be going on. I wasn't confused about any of that stuff. No, it wasn't until a little later that I was wondering what the fuck was going on.
My Little Bunny had just cleaned herself up while bringing the platform that our three boys were on down to the floor. She was cleaned of blood and gore, and apparently dry as well. The boys were excited to run to her and hug her. Something that I wanted to do. I wanted to hug my Little Bunny, as well as my triplet boys. I was immensely jealous of all four of them at that moment.
However, the boys didn't get to hug my Little Bunny. Nope. They stopped halfway there when things seemed to be going to shit once again. Dammit! Couldn't my Little Bunny catch a damn break? This was ridiculous. Seriously.
I watched on in horror as the light that was scaring my boys and my Little Bunny got brighter and then rose into the air. It was spinning faster and faster until it started to look like something that I knew very well. It was a trinity symbol, but like my Little Bunny had.
When the lights separated into three parts, it flew straight into my boys. All three parts hit them with what looked like an immense speed and all I could do was shout at the screen in front of me.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I had leapt to my feet when I saw that the light was attacking my kids now. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? WHAT IS THAT LIGHT DOING TO MY BOYS?"
"I do not know." Valerian, also standing, had his hand over his mouth as he watched on.
"I need to get in there and kick someone's fucking ass. Those are my nephews for fuck's sake. Someone is going to pay." Trevor was in a rage at what he was seeing.
"They are 'actually' my nephews, so you better get the fuck in line, because I am going to fucking kill someone too." Noah was seething with rage right then. "What are we going to do, Reece?"
"You guys know that we can't get over there. If we could, I would have been over there a long time ago. But we can't. Dammit! We can't help them."
"Yeah, I know." Noah hung his head, sorrow filling his voice.
"I hate just sitting around and watching. This is bullshit." Trevor threw himself onto the couch, still staring at the screen.
"I admit, it is quite annoying." Valerian sighed and sat next. I had no choice but to sit back down on the couch as well. I would have to just sit there and watch whatever was happening with my family.
To think, I had thought that it was all going well. Trinity may have lost Edmond, but she managed to kill Hekate. She was going to be coming home soon, or so I thought. Who knew how long it would be now that this new thing was happening?
"Please, Trinity, please come home soon. And bring the boys with you. Don't let them die on us. I know you could never survive that, and neither could me or the kids. We all love them so much already. Please, Little Bunny, please come home to us with them. Please." I was basically begging her to do what I wanted her to do. To bring them all home safe. Dammit! I hated being so powerless in this situation.

Trinity

"BOYS!" I finally unfroze and screamed for them. "ZACHARY! ZANDER! ZAYDEN!" I was running toward them as fast as I could, and I saw that Rudy and Alexio were doing the same.
"BOYS!"
"KIDS!" They each called out to them in their frantic voices. They didn't want to see something happen to them anymore than I did.
The three of us reached the boys at almost the same time. The three precious little boys were laying on the ground, motionless. They weren't moving. They weren't saying anything. They weren't even making a sound.
They were, however, still breathing. I noticed that when I pulled all three of them toward my chest in my arms. It was a tight fit to hold onto them all at once, but I managed to do it, somehow. While I was holding them in my arms, I felt their breath, the shallow breathing of someone that was unconscious. The little puffs of air from their mouths blew onto my chest.
"Thank the Goddess, they're still alive." I sighed with relief and cradled them close.
"M..M..Mommy?" I heard Zayden start to stir and call out to me.
"M..Mommy!?" Zachary was next.
"Th..th..that hurts, Mommy." Zander was the last one.
"What was that, Mommy?" Zayden inquired. I could tell that he was scared.
"I don't know what it was, babies. I don't know. But I am so happy that you are okay. I was so scared and worried, but here you are. You're alive and well. I am so happy." I was crying by the time that I was done saying that. It was hard to think that I might have lost another baby. Well, three of them. It made me think of the time that Reece and I had lost our first baby. Even though the person responsible was dead, truly dead, and had fully repented, it was something that would haunt me forever. I would never, as long as I live, forget about my lost little baby. And I never wanted to risk letting something happen to any of my babies, not now and not ever.
"Trinity?" Alexio, who was kneeling next to us, called out to me.
"Yes?" I turned my head a little so that I could see him while he spoke to me.
"I do not think that you are going to like this, but I do believe that your children each absorbed a piece of that soul."
"What soul?" I don't know if I was intentionally playing dumb, or if I just truly didn't know what he was talking about. I didn't want to process it or something like that.
"Hekate's soul. That light was her soul and they each took a part of it into themselves."
"Wait, are you telling me that my babies are now part of Hekate?"
"Well, she is a part of them, really. But they always were to begin with. They are descended from her, are they not?"
"Yes, they are, just as I am. But this is different. They each have a third of her soul. They are each a lot more of her now than any other witch, warlock or other magic user on the planet."
"Yes, they will have more of her. That is because they have her soul. I do not know what this will cause, but I do believe that this may make them more powerful as they get older."
"Mommy, is there something wrong with us?" Zander sounded scared.
"No baby, there is nothing wrong with you. You just have a bigger soul than most people do." I smiled at him. "Mommy is the same way. Mommy has a very big soul."
"But we have the bad lady inside of us." Zayden's fear filled voice called out to me.
"No, sweetheart, it's not like that. Mommy destroyed Hekate. It isn't her anymore. It's just the power of her soul. I am sure of that." I didn't know what I was fucking saying, but I had to make them feel better somehow.
"Are you sure?" Zachary didn't look convinced yet.
"Yes, baby, I am sure. You're all still you and no one else. You're Mommy's little boys." I hugged them again and felt them all cling to me in their own way. It was heartbreaking and sad that they were so scared, but I was glad that they were alive. And I would make sure that nothing happened to them later on, I would make sure that this added part to their soul wouldn't harm them in any way. "Mommy loves you, boys. Never forget that. Mommy will always be here to protect you." That made them all squeeze me a little tighter.
I knew right then and there that I needed to keep this a secret. I couldn't let others know that they had parts of the evil Hekate's soul inside of them. I didn't want them to be ostracized like Edmond had been. They didn't deserve that. They deserved all the love in the world.. And dammit, I would make sure that they got that love.
