Trinity

I forced myself to ignore everything that the voice had ever said to while I walked away from the office. I pushed all thoughts of that voice away as I continued on my path. I was nowhere near done searching this castle for my exit. And if I didn't find my exit inside, then I would leave here and search the grounds, then the city, the state, the entire country. I wouldn't rest until I got ho to my family. I wouldn't rest until I could let them all know that I was never going to leave them.
I didn't let my constant failure discourage . Each room that I searched that didn't have the way back ho was just one more step closer to finding that door. I was not going to look at it as another missed opportunity but rather another stone on the path to my success.
I moved on throughout the entire castle. I searched the throne room, the various ballrooms, the dining rooms, kitchens, sitting rooms, eting rooms, storage rooms, everywhere. And still I found nothing at all. I moved onto the daycare tower and found nothing in there either.
"I will find sothing, sooner or later. I just know that I will." I spoke with conviction, determination, and just a little bit of frustration. "I won't give up."
I started to search the two underground garages and the very large wine cellar that was under the castle. I was getting hopeful now, since I was running out of places to check in the castle. I was getting to the point that I just knew I had to find sothing.
The garages were empty, aside from the black and white cars that did no good right now. And I an that literally. I wasn't able to take the keeps from the hooks and I wasn't able to open the doors to get inside of them. So, I couldn't use the cars to travel the outside world easier. Not even Reece's dune buggy could be used, and that didn't need a door opened to get inside of it. Still, I wasn't able to climb into the driver's seat.
The wine cellar offered even less options, if that was possible. The room was naturally dark, but there were no subterranean windows that gave light to this room. It was pure dark and, therefore, impossible for to see in. That was pissing off too. I was supposed to have so night vision but that didn't seem to be working here at all either.
"There is absolutely nowhere inside this castle that will get ho." I sighed, just a little bit of dejection entering my voice before I pulled myself together. "Alright, that just ans that I need to search outside."
I marched out of the wine cellar and back toward the main floor of the castle. It was taking a lot less ti than it used to, either the atmosphere here was thinning or my body was just used to it more. Either that, or I just wasn't letting it have power over anymore. Either way, I was happy to be moving mostly freely.
When I went outside, I saw that it was bright and sunny out, just like it had been the day that I had ended up here. I even found myself needing to shield my eyes from the sun, even though it was in black and white like everything else, it was still bright and blinding. I think that was actually making feel a little bit better. Now, if only the air tasted sweet and helped to calm down so more. That would make everything seem almost perfect at the mont. That and so color to my surroundings.
I was just about to start walking down the driveway when sothing caught my eye. I saw soone, or sothing, starting to move around on the side of the castle. In truth, I don't even know how I saw such a slight movent, but it did. And now that I saw it, I wasn't about to let it get away from .
I took off running then. I just spun to my right and ran as hard and as fast as I could toward the side of the castle that was closest to . I saw, just for a mont, another flash of movent that seed to be moving away from .
I saw that movent and I was quick enough to pick up on where it was going. It seed to that it was heading to the mountain. Was it trying to climb up the slope to get away from ? Did this person, or this thing, whatever it was, think that I wouldn't chase it up the mountain all the way to the top? It was dead wrong if that was what it thought about .
"There." I said as I changed direction to keep following the thing in front of . "Over there, under the branches of the trees." The thing that was running was moving fast and was shorter than but quite a bit. If I had to guess, I would say it was as tall as a child just a little older than Talia. "A child?" I wondered aloud as I thought about the thing that I was chasing. "Am I following them again? Is that what this is?"
I nearly stopped right then and there, not certain if I should actually follow those imps right now. Then again, those imps had saved from the voice. They had stopped from following it toward the place that it was trying to take . They may have gotten stuck here, but they had actually helped , in their odd little way.
"I wonder what they want from now?" I couldn't help but be curious as I thought about that.
The mont that I started to contemplate it more, the path that we were on opened up into a bigger one. That was when I saw that I was indeed following the imps. All three of them were here again. They were standing in front of another door.
This ti, when I looked at the imps' faces, I saw that they were indeed more childlike than devilish. They looked like three identical, innocent little boys. And all three of them looked like my Fido.
"OK, I am projecting here. These adorable little imps are looking like Reece because I miss him." I laughed at myself and my absurdity.
While I had been slightly distracted, two of the imps approached with sweet little grins. Right now, that little face reminded of Reagan and Rika. They looked so innocent yet so filled with mischief, just like my children.
The two imps that approached took my hands while looking happily into my eyes. The third imp was still near the door, pointing at it with excited gestures while smiling at just like the other two boys.
NO! I had to stop imagining that they were children. They weren't little kids! They're imps. They're little creatures that will play tricks on and cause problems whenever they can. Though, they are helping right now. Still, that's not the point.
The little imp that was still by the door mid opening it and smiled at . I don't know why, but all three of these imps were completely silent. They didn't make any noise at all while they were walking or anything else.
"You want to go through this door?" I asked the boy in front of . IMP! I had to remind myself internally not to think it was a child for real. The imp didn't say anything, he just nodded his head and continued to point at the door. "Will it take ho?" I asked them and didn't like the answer that I got from them. They paused and hesitated, but eventually they did nod at and indicate that it would. Why did they pause? Why did they act like they didn't know for sure? "Fine." I sighed, resigned to the fact that this was my only option.
After taking a deep breath, I opened the door, steeled my nerves, and stepped through to the other side. I an, what was the worst that could happen?
