Chapter 119 - Trinity-Ho
~~
Trinity
~~
I had appreciated the last minute party that Emmalee threw together for , but I was glad to be going ho. I had been gone for several days already, but it felt like weeks. I wanted to see my family and Lila. I missed my friends. I wanted normalcy, even though it was a life that I never thought I would call normal, I desperately wanted it back now.
When we landed at the airport back ho and got off the beautiful plane, that I had recently learned that Reece bought from the pilot just because he needed to get to , I was escorted straight to a waiting SUV limousine. I guess that was one way to get treated like a VIP, private planes and limos. People see those and they think rich and famous. Well, we may not be famous, but Reece was definitely rich. I had never really thought about it before, but I guess that made rich as well. I just didn't know how rich yet.
The ride ho was quiet and quick. You'd be surprised by how many people seem to be afraid to drive in front of a big black limo. Everyone seed to pull to the side or switch lanes to avoid having us behind them. The result was a quick, peaceful ride.
I noticed that it had snowed recently while I was gone. There were several inches of the white powder built up on the ground and pushed into giant hills around the city. I loved how the city and forest looked when covered in snow, it always seed so magical. And just seeing the long winding drive and outside of our castle like ho dusted with the white powder made feel like I was entering a fantasy world.
I was just stepping out of the car, holding onto Reece's hand as he pulled toward him, when the front door opened wide and Aunt Eve ran out, followed by Lila and a group of others.
"Oh Trinity." Aunt Eve wrapped her arms around in a tight, bone cracking hug that pulled a cry from . "I was so worried." She said pulling away from and inspecting my face, turning it every which way to see it from different angles. "I thought I was going to go insane waiting for you. Even after the others got back and assured you were alright, I knew I wasn't going to be satisfied until I saw you myself." She pulled toward her again, hugging and kissing my cheek repeatedly. I wrapped my arms around her as well, letting her feel that I was indeed back and just fine.
"I'm alright now, Aunt Eve. And I missed you so much." I squeezed her tightly. "I love you." I whispered to her.
"I love you too, baby." She seed about to cry when she stepped back away from .
Lila filled my field of vision next, hugging nearly as tight as Aunt Eve had.
"Oh Trinity, I missed you. I was so worried. I should have been with you when you t with Caleb and Frederick that night, I would have stopped you from going." She was blaming herself just like everyone else was.
"If I didn't go with them willingly, I'm sure they would have taken by force." I tried to calm her nerves but that just seed to make her more scared.
"I would never forgive anyone who hurt you. You're too important to all of us." She was smiling at now, looking into my eyes with a somber look and a determined set to her jaw.
It seed that everyone that was close to was there. Juniper, Paul, and Cedar ca next to give a group hug.
"Don't ever scare like that again." Juniper scolded. "I nearly died just thinking about everything that could have happened to you."
"Yeah Astro, don't ever let that happen again. We were all so worried."
"Paul and I were ready to kill soone." Cedar added.
"I love you guys." I told them. "I'm sorry I worried you."
Heather and Vincent were also there with the kids. David, Shane, and Shawn as well. Grandfather was also waiting at the back. He said he didn't want to take away from my reunion with everyone else because we had seen each other so recently. Carter was standing next to him, apparently in the sa mindset. Everything was so great, seeing everyone who cared for . The only thing that felt off was the strangely intense look in Grandfather's eyes, but with everything that had happened, I could understand why he was so intense and nervous right now.
After the hype died down, and most of our guests finally left so ti in the early evening, we were inford of a visit from the elders. Just hearing a reference to the group of old n made nervous. Caleb had been in on the entire plot and the attack on . Was his grandfather part of that plot or no? I needed to find out since Frederick was a mber of the elders, and if he was in on the entire thing, then I still wasn't safe.
With a heavy heart weighed down by fear and worry, I took Reece's hand and let him escort to his office and the waiting elders.

My Little Bunny was nervous now. She seed to be dreading this visit with the elders. I had my suspicions as to why. She was suspecting my uncle as much as I was. Frederick was not likely to be happy when he found out that I killed his grandson. Oh well, he would deal or he could face the consequences. I was surprised when soone stopped us as we were on our way to my office.
"Reece." Little Bunny's grandfather called out to . "I will be joining you for this eting with the elders." He didn't ask , he was informing of what was going to happen. That was peculiar, but I didn't want to start anything now, so I allowed him to co along.
"Sure Mr. Whitton, please, co along." He followed behind us as we went. Noah was in the lead, Little Bunny and in the middle, and the elder Whitton bringing up the rear.
