Chapter 641 - 58- Trinity – Spiraling (VOLU 4)
~~
Trinity
~~
I was just sitting there, waiting for the other to start what she called: the next part of this whole thing. She had gone as far as leaning into the fire and burning the two of us to make comply with her, but now she was just sitting here and staring at . What was she playing at? Why was she doing this?
And to top it all off, the other was wearing a very smug and sly look on her face. It was annoying and pissing off so much that I just wanted to hit her.
This was not like , though. I didn't usually think about hitting people and causing them pain. OK, I have executed people. I have gone to war. Twice. I have stood by while others were executed. I had done a lot and yet, at the sa ti, I had not done enough.
There were a lot of bad things that I didn't know about, yet I allowed them to happen. And the flip side of that was the fact that I had personally done a lot of bad things to people. Did that make a bad person? Did that make evil? Was I a corrupted leader that shouldn't be leading my people?
While these thoughts went through my head, I started to panic. If these were indeed true facts, if they were what I was really like, then what kind of person was I? I needed to find the answer to that before anything else. I didn't care if the other went on right now or not, this was more important to .
"Good." The other spoke out of nowhere while I was deep in thought, and it made jump in shock.
"Huh?" I was trying to right myself on the log when I raised myself and looked at her. I had jumped so much that I nearly fell off the seat altogether.
"I said good." She answered with a look that was at least fifty percent more sly and smug than it had been before.
"What is good?" I asked, hoping that my anger at her wasn't showing too much at the mont.
"I am referring to your thought process, Trinity. That is a good direction to be moving in."
Dammit! I had forgotten that she knew what I was thinking. That was annoying. UGH! That ans that she knows all the an thoughts that I have had about her since this whole thing started. Great, that was not good. What if she decides to get angry with ?
"If I was going to get angry with you, Trinity, I already would have. I am trying to help you. This is a place that you need to be. Trust when I say that when you leave here, you will be thanking ."
"For so reason, I don't really see that being a possibility. I an, forgive for saying this, but you've been a shitty host and you have been quite cruel with ."
"I have only done what needed to be done. Nothing more and nothing less. This has all been a necessity, Trinity. You know, there truly is a purpose for what I have done here."
The other had the audacity to sound as if I had hurt her feelings or sothing like that. It wasn't like she was the one that was having everything she had ever done thrown back into her face and being told to look at all the repercussions that her actions have had on those around her. Nope, that lovely little bit of cruelty and torture was reserved all for .
"Are you done with your little rant inside your head there? If so, we can get a move on to the next stage of why you are here and help you to move on. Just rember that the longer you are here, the more ti that passes in the land of the living. I am sure that you want to get back sooner rather than later." It looked to like the other didn't care too much one way or the other if I finished with my little freak out or not. She seed to be enjoying herself.
"How much ti is passing there? How long have I been in this place? And how much ti has passed for my family back ho? What do they think has happened to ?"
Her words did strike a chord with though. I didn't want to be here any longer than I needed to be. And I didn't know how long I had been here already. What if it had been months or years already? What if they thought that I was dead, and they buried alive? What was really going to happen to ?
"Would you like to show you how your family is doing?" The other smirked and I didn't know if she was going to show sothing that was real or not. "Do not be so skeptical, Trinity. I am not going to lie to you. It would be pointless for to lie to you anyway. I am you, after all."
"Fine, then I want to see them. Please show them to ."
"Of course."
The other smiled and once again took a handful of dust to throw into the fire. The usual scene happened again with the fire responding and making a screen for to see the people inside the flas.
There they were. I could see Reece as well as my children. There were Reagan, Rika, and Talia. I missed them so much.
"REECE!" I shouted his na. "REAGAN! RIKA! TALIA!" If this was what was happening right now, maybe they could-.
"They cannot hear you." The other said before I could finish that thought. "This is a viewing screen only. It does not transmit to the land of the living. It is usually ant to show the viewer their past, however, it can be used to show soone what their family is doing after they are gone." I didn't like the way she was talking. I didn't like the sound of those words.
"But I am not gone. I am not dead. And I need to get back ho."
"I know you do, Trinity." The other gave a firm look. "And we need to work together to get you out of here. You have been here for a lot longer than you think. In your world, it has already been almost two weeks." [1]
"T..t..two w..we..wee..weeks?" I couldn't believe what she had just told .
"Yes, Trinity. Almost two weeks. Ti passes slower here than in the land of the living. The reason for that is because the souls here are dead, so ti does not matter to them anymore. Well, they are usually dead." She giggled while she looked at . "Co on now, let us get back to this."
I tried to keep looking at the screen, to see Reece and the kids as they sat there at our dining table, eating what looked like dinner. They all looked so sad and somber. Reece looked worn out and worried, and the children all looked like they were on the verge of tears.
"No, my babies. Let see them. I need to get to them now. I need to make them feel better."
"Then let's hurry up."
I felt my heart aching. No, it was more than that. My heart was shattering as I looked at my children and saw them so close to tears. And knowing that those tears were for made it even worse. All I wanted to do right then and there was to hold them, all of them. Reagan, Rika, Talia, and Reece. I wanted to hug all of my family and feel their warmth and love.
"I will be ho soon, please wait for ." I said the words to Reece, but I knew that he didn't hear .
[1] Ti is passing differently for Trinity and Reece at the mont. So, when Reece's chapters co up, they will be in Trinity's past but his present.. There will be a few chapters with Reece and the others coming up, but as you likely guessed it, things will primarily be Trinity's POV from now on.
