Trinity - The Prophecy (21 page)

Carra

Old Mother lay on the floor clinging for her life. Her enemies had left satisfied that she was now going to die. A tear rolled down her cheek as she heard footsteps approach.

They walked in, saw her on the floor, and rushed over to her side.

“Carra,
no,” Vex cried out.

“Yes Vex, you knew this was coming. I had told you, that you and Garth would be my downfall
,” she said and smiled at him.

“Why didn’t you warn us? You told us to meet you at sunset. Why not tell us to come before
,” Garth asked in an angry tone.

“This is my destiny, I have accepted this.”

“No,” Vex whispered.

“You have a chance to set things right for this wrong
,” she told them.

“Anything
,” they both said at the same time.

Carra coughed, slightly choking on her blood.

“A time will come when one will father and one will nurture. You will bear no more before or after. Only when she is ready to accept will you be able to make yourself known to her. Look to Sab to help guide you her way. Her hope depends on it and all our fates will rest on her shoulders.”

She reached out a hand to Vex and he took it in his own. He could feel her touch, growing cold and he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently. He closed his eyes as she did. His heart started tearing apart as his love slipped from the earth plan
e to be greeted by the awaiting spirits. Her hand had gone limp, but he held it still as the tears of sorrow wept from his body.

A hand touched his shoulder and his eyes sprung open and turned b
lack as night.

“Do not touch me; this is all your fault
,” he growled out.

Garth pulled his hand back.

“Don’t cross my path again, or it will be the last one you ever walk on.”

Garth stood up and gave a nod. He did not defend himself or tell Vex that it was also his creations that had killed his beloved. No, he just walked back outside into the early evening glow and walked away. His time would come to prove himself, it always does. His time will come to do as Carra’s prophecy says. He will just wait, wait in the shadows. He did not know how long this would be but in the meantime, he vowed to destroy every beast created in his name. Carra would not want revenge, but it was after all his and Vex’s carelessness that started the war of man vs
. monster. It was the two of them that created the beast that destroys Vex’s love and his dear friend. She had warned them not to be careless. She had warned them to keep the beasts trained inside. He looked to the sky, looking for answers. None came but the mournful cries from a man that had just about lost everything. Everything but the line that he and Carra had created together before her change.

Trinity – Defying Destiny

The Prophecy

Three lives will be shaped. Three times this will happen at different stages. We are bound by three, it is the sign of The Trinity. Once this has happened, a time for change will arrive quickly as the enemies will be brought out of the shadows and made to stand as one for all of their survival. The shadows will no longer cloak them; the night will no longer shelter them. What we once fought to protect will in turn become the very thing we will all fear.

Chap
ter One

I was still kneeling beside Nikkee’s body. I felt the blood from my lips slowly slide down my chin. I flicked my eyes up to Jason, he looked mad and disappointed. I could read it all over his face. My eyebrows lifted as I saw a heap of people standing behind him that I had not noticed before. They were vampires and werewolves with a few witches in the crowd. I was not sure how but I could distinguish between them with ease. Like a knowledge I didn’t realize I had had before.

I hung my head back down looking at her lifeless body.

Warm arms that felt familiar to me, grabbed me by the upper arm and stood me up, turned me around into their chest and held me tight. All my fears and regrets came sweeping over. It was Garth that held me close. I wasn’t sure why, but I welcomed his warmth with open arms as I felt myself crumble around me.

“She has lost a lot of blood, but she is still with us,” I heard Vex say.

A sigh of relief escaped my lips. As I turned my head out of Garths chest, I looked to her and saw that Jason and Vex had both lifted her up.

“We need to get her out of here,” Jason said as Vex helped him position Nikkee in his arms. I was sure he didn’t need the help but it was given to him anyways.

He turned around and started heading back the way we had come. I stood frozen as I watched him leave. I felt a pang in my chest that he did not even look my way although I understood that he had more important things on his mind at that moment.

Others turned and followed behind as he left my sight.  I looked over to where Maria’s body lay still  with her eyes wide open, glazed over, looking up at the stars that were poking through the clearing of trees above. Fog had started rolling through and was slowly creeping over her body.

“Do we leave her?” I asked in a quiet voice.

“It will be taken care of Trinity, as with the rest. Come let’s get you back home,” Garth said in his strong deep voice.

“I don’t think I have a home anymore,” I whispered.

“You will always have a home if you know where to go,” he told me.

I turned and looked up at his face. He still had a scary demeanour with a scar that ran down his right cheek under his eye and his hair was a mess, but his eyes had a gentle look to them letting me know that I could trust him and that his words were truthful and sincere.

“I want to go where Nikkee will be. I need to know she will be ok,” I told him.

“Then that is where we will go,” he said and started walking the same way Jason had.

I forced myself to take a step after him and then another and another until I reached the spot where Sky was still waiting with a few of the vampires, werewolves and witches that were waiting for us to leave.

As I reached her another tear silently rolled down my cheek. I reached my hand up to my neck and cupped the old mother’s tear that sat warm on my collarbone. Sky gave me a hug and squeezed me tight and though I really didn’t want to be comforted yet, I returned her gesture anyways.

We separated and started following Garth. I knew we had a long dreadful walk ahead of us and one part in particular I was scared about. I didn’t want to walk past the site of bones. I didn’t want to have to see the other life I had taken.

“Why is everyone else with us?” I asked.

“We were all fighting and then just like that,” Sky clicked her fingers, “it was like the other side just snapped out of a dream and woke up. It must have been when you killed Maria. The ones that were not under her spell and there of their own free will, just ran. The others looked really confused,” Sky told me.

“Trinity.”

I stopped and turned around to see Lachlan walking up to me. I must not have seen him disappear into the crowd.

“H
ey,” I said with a small smile.

As he caught up to me I turned back to walking.

“I owe you an apology,” He said.

“For what?” I asked.

“You were right. You didn’t need to pick a side.”

I looked down at my hands saw my nails had grown out into sharp points and I could still feel my canines pricking the bottom of my lip.

“I am all three,” I said as if I knew all along.

“You said once that you just wanted to be on your side, Trinity’s side. I think you chose well before tonight, but it was tonight that you accepted your destiny,” he said with a proud grin.

I just gave him a small nod of acknowledgement. He was right. I knew it was right because the moment that I decided to accept who I was and used that power to save my best friend I knew the only choice I had to make was accepting that I was never going to be ordinary, I was never going to be just Trinity. I looked to the old mother’s tear for guidance and I felt the knowledge that I needed seep through my body. On the day of my 18th birthday I was already going to be all three and that was what I had to choose. Choose to accept that I could not stop what was coming.

“The prophecy said I would be their undoing and bring them out of hiding,” I said in way of questioning him.

“You kind of did. You exposed them for who they were,” he told me.

“But it seems so petty,” I pointed out.

“It is.”

I let the subject drop and kept walking with my head down, Sky and Lachlan on either side of me and Garth up in front leading us to where we were going. Behind us was what could be our new allies. They were quietly talking amongst themselves.  I wasn’t sure what the vampires and werewolves problems with each other were, but I felt that after tonight it would bring a few together. None of them were safe and we needed to look out for one another if we were going to survive.

The site of bones came into view and the hushed talking went silent as we walked past seeing the bodies that lay there. I focused my attention on Garth’s back. I didn’t want to look but it got the better of me. I turned my head and made a quick count of bodies.

I saw eight bodies lying lifeless including the girl I killed. A pang started in my chest again. I was a killer.

“You did what you had to, to survive,” Lachlan said and put his arm around me.

I just let it drop. I would think about it another time when I had my feelings to myself. I walked ahead letting Lachlan’s arm fall from my shoulders.

I reached Garth and asked, “Since you are Jason’s maker can you sense his feelings?”

He looked down at me, “Yes I can.”

“Can you sense whether he is… can you know if Nikk…” I couldn't finish my question as the words kept chocking me.

“Yes I can and so far everything seems to be ok,” he said reassuring me that Nikkee was still alive.

“How come Jason can’t sense me but Lachlan can? If Jason is in fact my master as well, shouldn’t he be able to have some sort of connection with my feelings and emotions too?” I asked.

“He can and always has been, more so than Lachlan,” Garth said.

A frown came on my face.

“He never told me he could,” I said more to myself.

“Perhaps he didn’t want you to know.”

“Perhaps I would like to know who can feel me and who can’t. It’s like an invasion of privacy,” I said with a little anger.

“Don’t be too hard on him. Maybe he just didn’t want you to know so you didn’t change the way you felt,” Garth said in Jason’s defence.

“Still it would have been nice to know who was in my head and who wasn’t,” I said.

“Well, while we are on the subject, I can,” he told me.

I stopped and he did the same then turned around to face me.

“What do you mean you can as well? How is that possible?” I half demanded.

His head tilted to the side as he looked me over.

I felt my temper rising as all my stupid girlie feelings have been on display for everyone to read.

“How?” I demanded with more force.

“Because I am the man that fathered you Trinity.”
