Trinity

~~

The day that Reece left was, by far, the worst one yet. I tried my best to concentrate on work, but I just couldn't do it. The kids were at school and Reece was off on the plane sowhere, flying to a eting with so corporate bigwigs.

I never usually interacted much with them when I was working, but I always knew that soone was there for . This ti though, none of them were there.

Yeah, OK, Lila, Mom, Dad, Grandfather, Nikki, all of them were here with , even Juniper was here at the castle. But that didn't an that they were near . And for so reason, their presence in the castle didn't calm the voice as much as my mate or children did.

With everyone gone, with being truly alone for the first ti since the voice started, it just grew worse and worse until it got to epic proportions.

'Everyone is going to die, Trinity. They will all die, and it will all be your fault. Thousands, no millions of deaths and it will all be your fault. You are going to be responsible for the end of your people. You will be responsible for destroying them all. You will murder them with your own hands. You will have their blood on your hands. Run now, Trinity. Run, run away now, before you kill them all. Leave! Go now! Don't let them die because of you.'

At first, it was the sa old words that it had repeated ti and ti again. I could ignore those because they were familiar, like background music. But when they started to change, when they started to beco sothing different, I just couldn't ignore it anymore.

'Trinity, you need to listen to .' This voice sounded different than the last one, this voice was new. Dammit! This ant that I really was crazy. I wasn't just hearing a voice, I was hearing multiple voices.

"Great, I am certifiably insane." I said the words out loud, even though I didn't an to. "Welco to Crazy Town, Trinity, population: you."

"I'm sorry, Queen Trinity, did you say sothing?" Roisin asked at the sa ti that the voice spoke again.

'You're not crazy, Trinity. I am here to help you.' The new voice said.

"What the hell?" I jumped and yelped. I actually think that I scared Roisin for a mont.

"Are you alright, my Queen?" Roisin's voice was on edge when she spoke to this ti.

'Go sowhere private, or make her leave. Just do sothing quickly. We need to talk.'

"U..uh, uhm, I..I'm sorry Roisin. I think I started to nod off there for a minute." I rubbed my head and laughed. "Can you get so coffee, please?" I asked her with as calm of a smile as I could muster. I even gave her an embarrassed little laugh and forced a blush onto my cheeks. Actually, the blush was real since she had heard talking to myself.

"Yes, of course my Queen. I will go right now." She bowed a little and started toward the door of the office.

"Vincent, can you wait outside for a mont. If I do happen to nod off again, I don't want to embarrass myself by letting you see that." I tried to get him to leave as well, but he seed a little more firm in his stance at the door.

"If you are that tired, Trinity, then please just go and take a nap." I could tell that he was worried about .

"I'm sure that I will be fine." I gave him that sa embarrassed laugh, but he wasn't swayed.

"Please, Trinity, just let Roisin help you to bed. You need to sleep."

Well, if he was going to insist on it, then I guess it was a way for to be alone. This might just be the opportunity that I needed to talk with no one else around .

"Alright, I think you might be right. I will go to bed for a little bit." Visible relief seed to wash over his face when I agreed with him.

I let Vincent guide up the royal tower and to my room. He was being exceptionally careful with , like he thought I was going to break, or snap, at any mont. That was a little annoying, but I know he was just concerned.

I decided to just let the two of them fuss over . I was helped to bed and even given a glass of calming tea to help sleep more soundly. What were they trying to do, make sleep until morning?

The mont that they were gone, literally the mont that the door shut behind them, the voice started inside of my head again. First, it was the original background track, sa old voice from before.

'Everyone is going to die, Trinity. They will all die, and it will all be your fault. Thousands, no millions of deaths and it will all be your fault. You are going to be responsible for the end of your people. You will be responsible for destroying them all. You will murder them with your own hands. You will have their blood on your hands. Run now, Trinity. Run, run away now, before you kill them all. Leave! Go now! Don't let them die because of you.'

Following that voice, I could hear that new one, that one that actually answered .

'Good, you're alone. You need to hurry, Trinity. You have to stop her.'

"Stop who?" I asked her out loud, not knowing if she could hear inside of my head.

'Hekate.'

"The Goddess of magic and darkness that used to be married to Thoth?" I felt the shock wash over . That was unexpected.

'The very one. She is trying to escape from the underworld. She has nearly succeeded. If she gets out, she will kill everyone. She will destroy the world for having imprisoned her for so long.' The voice was frantic as it answered .

"How? How is she getting stronger? What happened to make this a possibility?" I just couldn't comprehend this at all.

'There were so many things that happened. The battle with Edmond that happened in the spiritual plane, and when you absorbed Thoth. Both of those weakened her restraints until they were nearly gone. Now, as ti moves on, she is nearing her escape. You can't let her get out, Trinity. You have to protect the world. You have to protect your people.'

I felt goosebumps spread across my arms and the back of my neck. If Hekate got out, she would massacre millions of people, and the reason behind it would all be my fault. That voice wasn't lying. It was my fault. I was going to be a murderer.

"How can I stop her? How can I make this right again?" Dammit, there were tears in my eyes as the reality of the situation hit .

'Follow , Trinity. You need to follow . I will guide you.'

I heard the voice, but it sounded like it was getting further and further away from . It was moving toward the door to my room, the door that led to the stairs and the elevator.

I didn't hesitate. I got to my feet and followed the voice. I wasn't going to let this happen to my people. I wasn't going to let Hekate get away with this.

As I thought that, a sickening thought hit . Hekate, the wife of Thoth and mother to Witches and Warlocks, was actually another blood relative of mine. Seriously? Was there an ancestor of mine that wasn't totally batshit crazy? This was starting to make wonder what would happen to over ti. Was I going to beco this galomaniacal evil Queen that was bent on taking over the world?

Please, anyone who might be listening and that could help a goddess in the midst of an existential crisis, tell if I can keep that from happening.

The voice was still talking but I could tell that it was moving, fast.

'Follow , Trinity. Co on now, follow .'

I followed it out of the Royal tower and into the main castle. It seed like it was leading toward the throne room, but sothing changed my course along the way. I saw sothing out of the corner of my eye.

There, just barely visible and moving quickly, were three little imp-like creatures. They were hard to see and all I could tell for certain was that they had jet black hair and were all identical to each other.

Those little imp-like creatures were running away from and toward a door. Only this door wasn't one that I ever rember being here before.. It was also just standing there in the middle of the hallway not supported by anything.
