Trinity

"Everyone has a past, Trinity. Just like everyone has a future. The things we experience and the things that we do will shape who we are but also how people look at us. If you only see one part of soone's life, one part of their story, you will never know what they've been through or where they end up. Has seeing this helped you to understand that?" The other was posing this question but I just didn't want to hear it at all. I just wanted to get things moving so more. I didn't want to wait around here in this purgatory hell forever.

"So, your goal here was to make feel bad for having killed my father? Is that it? Is that what you wanted to gain from this whole thing? Well, that is never going to happen. I may feel sorrow and pity for the boy that Edmond used to be. I may feel bad for the fact that he missed out on a good life because his parents were shitty. But I will never regret ending his life. He was a monster that needed to be stopped." My shoulders were heaving up and down now as I scread at her.

"I did not intend for you to pity the man or regret killing him. I simply wanted you to know that even good people can change. They can grow seeds of darkness inside of themselves and it can happen either quickly or slowly. No matter who it is, soone can be just as bad as they are good."

"Yeah, I know." I hung my head and sighed as I tried to fight off the feeling of dread that was filling .

"It is ti to wrap this up, we only have a few more mories to face."

Once again, she reached into that silver bag and brought out that now familiar black dust. The fire acted the sa as always and I just waited patiently for the images to start. I didn't say anything, and I didn't fight it at all. I just let it happen as it would whether I delayed it or not.

The images ca without an introduction this ti. It was just the scene starting. It was initially the scene when Reece and I first visited Aunt Glory at the Fae compound. It was the banquet when Grier stated that I would be the ruin of them all. I found out later that he had been controlled by Solanum and that this hadn't been sothing that he wanted to do. I regret not stepping in and telling Aunt Glory to spare him.

"This was the start of a very bloody segnt with the Fae, was it not." Another one of those grins played across the other 's face and it made shudder. I tried to repress it, but I wasn't able to.

"This was when Aunt Glory killed that man. That had nothing to do with ." I did my best to keep my voice even.

"Ahh yes that is true, however were you not just thinking that you regretted not stepping in to save him?"

"Th..that was because I had knowledge of things that ca later. At that ti, I didn't know that he was being manipulated. I couldn't have saved him." Even to my ears it just sounded like a weak excuse.

"I know you better than that, Trinity. You know that you should have stopped it, yet you chose to ignore it."

"B..b..but she was the queen."

"AND SO ARE YOU!" This was the first ti that the other had gotten angry and yelled at . That was different and I hadn't been expecting it at all. Because of the shock of it all, I actually flinched and recoiled just a little.

"I was still learning at the ti, and I was a new queen. I didn't know that we were family yet."

She wasn't accepting my words though. Instead, she just sighed and looked back at the screen.

"Let us continue, Trinity. I can see that talking to you will get nowhere."

With that, the images changed. I watched a sped-up version of the ti that I spent with Aunt Glory and Athair mòr in the Fae compound at Christmas. This was right after Reagan and Rika had turned one and we had learned that Aunt Glory and Athair mòr were actually our family.

Parts of the scenes that were passing by slowed almost to normal speed at tis. Like during the balls that were held for each primary elent's week of celebration. I danced with so of the Fae n during the first ball while Reece danced with so of the won.

During that first ball, Reece had grown jealous and put an end to dancing with the other n even though there was still a long line of them waiting for . He had acted a little childish, but I thought it was cute as well.

I hadn't, at the ti, seen how upset so of the n had been when their chance was taken from them. I could see it now though. And there, at the next ball, were the sa n who didn't get to dance with . They were trying again but I refused to dance with anyone but Reece that night. The sa thing happened at all the subsequent dances. I only danced with Reece.

The images sped up again and I knew where it was going. I knew what was coming. It was the banquet outside to celebrate the new year. I was having a good ti and not paying much attention. However, my guard was being quite diligent. When I was about to take a drink from a freshly filled glass, Pierre stepped up and stopped . And it was a good thing too, because the glass had been poisoned by a man that I later learned was nad Finch.

"Oh, look here. This was the first ti that you outright executed soone without there being a battle first." The other smirked at the fire. "You were ruthless and did not let him have a trial."

He admitted guilt and I needed to make the people respect ."

"So, it was about controlling the populace more than anything?" The other gave a look that told that my priorities were all wrong.

"No, that wasn't it. I..I..I needed to show them that I was a queen or it would happen again. I had to protect myself."

"But you did not give him a trial, did not send him to prison. No, you executed him on the spot in front of everyone. Your family was devastated about that."

"I know they were."

I rember that. I rember that everyone had been slightly afraid of . I hadn't liked the fear from them, but there was nothing that I could do about it. That was the way that things needed to be.

"There are just a couple more to go, Trinity. Bear with for just a little while longer. This part of the ordeal is nearly over." For so reason, I didn't quite believe her.. This felt like it was going on forever and I didn't think that I would ever get out of here.
