Trinity

~~

Reece and I sent word to the Alphas that still didn’t know about the reveal. We explained to them all, through a mental connection, what exactly was going to happen next week. We gave them instructions on what to tell their people, and that if they had questions to send them along to a special panel that I had prepared for them.

The panel would be taking the questions via phone call. No one needed to be bombarded by a million people via mental connection. That would be a little too overwhelming for the people that I was enlisting in helping me. Especially considering that this panel was made up of the people that were joining me during the reveal next week.

The locals were invited to the throne room for the meeting. I knew that it would be a little uncomfortable for them, but I had expanded the size as much as I was able to without compromising the integrity of the room. I knew that if I modified a room that was already finished, I could cause it to collapse in on itself. Especially if I modified it all too quickly. Yes, there were rooms that changed as they were needed, but there were also rooms that couldn’t be changed so easily. A room like this one, which was already very huge, was one that didn’t want to be altered all the time. It was just one of those temperamental things to do with magic.

The crowd was gathering in the throne room again. Reece and I were once again waiting for them, but this time Reagan and Rika were with us. They were supposed to join us on the stage, along with all the other children. However, Reagan and Rika had something that they needed to talk to us about.

“Absolutely not!” Reece exclaimed when he heard what Reagan had just said.

“Why not dad?” He asked him in disbelief? “Why can’t Rika and I join you in the reveal?”

…..

“Why not?” Reece said angrily. “I’ll tell you why not. People will see you in that video. They will know who you are. And they might target you. That’s why.” Reece was fuming.

“With all due respect, Dad,” there was vehemence and anger dripping from Reagan’s words as his angry voice responded to Reece, ‘they are going to know who I am regardless. Do you think that you and Mom being out there and the rest of us kids being hidden will somehow magically protect us? They know that you are our parents. They know that we are the children of Reece and Trinity Gray. We won’t be spared. If there are going to be people that target us, Dad, it’s going to happen no matter what. As things stand right now, there is no reason for us to sit out.”

“He’s right, Dad.” Rika started to add. “We will not be spared. But if we join you, we can promote ourselves as ambassadors of people like us. Those that are worried or scared to show themselves will be able to talk to us. We can help other people our age.”

“They do make a good point, Reece.” I added after hearing what it was that Reagan and Rika had to say. “They are smart people, they are adults, and they are allowed to be a part of this. I say we let them join us.”

“You too, Little Bunny?” Reece looked at me like I had just slapped him across the face.

“I am not your enemy here, Reece. We need to stand together, and Reagan and Rika have a good point. They will be targeted no matter what. Let them do this. They feel strongly about it, and I know that they can handle it.”

“Hahh.” Reece sighed, but I knew that he was already giving in. “Fine. But you must follow our lead. You do not go off on your own.”

“Fine.”

“Agreed.” The two of them nodded at Reece’s words.

“Dammit! Why do you two have to be growing up so fast?” Reece was shaking his head and looking at the kids like they were still little babies. I knew that feeling well.

“It’s going to happen, Dad.” Reagan laughed. “None of us can stop it.”

“Yeah, I know.” Finally, Reece laughed and seemed to be a little less tense than he had been before.

Now that this part of the conversation was over, it was time for us to greet the gathered crowd. I walked out there with all seven of our kids and Reece at my side or behind me. They were calm and quiet as they took their spots that were on either side of our thrones. Reece and I seated ourselves and faced the crowd calmly.

I greeted them, thanked them all for coming here, and then started to tell them why they were here. I started to tell them that we were going to be revealing ourselves to the humans and that it was beyond time that we stopped hiding. Only, I didn’t get very far into explaining things before something caught my attention.

The words were faint. Clearly, the person speaking was whispering and thought that I wouldn’t hear them. They were relatively close to the dais though, so I was able to hear everything that they were saying. And let’s just say that it was making my blood boil.

“Look at them. They are parading that thing around on the stage like it’s one of us. That little monster bitch doesn’t deserve to be alive, let alone to be lorded over us like that.”

“I am sorry, what was that?” I said as I tried to narrow down where the voice was coming from. Clearly, the person that was speaking hadn’t noticed the lull in my speech, or that I had stopped talking almost completely.

“I mean, just look at her. You can see that she is not one of us. She looks like a freak even among the freaks of our world. Even the most different looking of the Fae are more desirable than that thing is. They should have put that thing out of its misery the day that it was born. And then we normal people wouldn’t have to live with the fear that it would turn on us like it did before. That bullshit story about a redeemed soul and a chance at a new life is pure lies. That monster just found a way to escape from hell, and now he came back as an innocent looking little girl. That thing is going to try and kill us all.”

“What the hell did you just say?” Reagan was the one to speak before I was able to. I think that the rage boiling inside of me was what kept me from finding my voice first. I was struggling to remember what the world looked like without this hazy red color covering it all.

“Who said that?” I demanded finally as I rose to my feet.

“It was them, Mom.” Reagan said as he pointed to a man and a woman. I recognized the little boy that was with them. It was LeRoy, one of Zachary’s friends. Only now I could see that LeRoy was glaring at Zachary, and in turn Zachary was glaring back at him.

“Do you want to explain to me why you are talking about my daughter like that?” I growled at the woman.

“You know what, Mom, I forgot to tell you something last month.” Reagan turned to face me. “It was while you were gone, and I hadn’t wanted to ruin the good times that we were all having.”

“What was it?” Reece demanded as he rose to his feet.

That was when Reagan leaned in and explained what had happened at the sleepover with Zachary, Zander and Zayden. That boy, LeRoy, had started saying things about Zaley that were not only false but were infuriating. I don’t know how Reagan managed to keep his cool that night. I am guessing that he managed because the offender was just a child, but this was not a child that had been speaking. It was his mother, and she should have known better.

I let the information that he just gave me sink in for a moment. I didn’t want to rip the bitch’s head off, but I also didn’t want to let her get away with this just yet. Actually, I lied, I did want to rip her head off, but I wasn’t going to do that. I was supposed to set an example, and that wasn’t the message that I was supposed to send.

“Tam?” I glared at the bitch and saw her flinch. “You have been spreading lies about my daughter.”

“They are not lies.” Tam rose to her feet, and so did her husband Marion. “That little bitch is the reincarnation of Edmond. He killed so many of our kind, and yet you welcome that thing with open arms.”

“You have no idea how Edmond changed in the afterlife. If it wasn’t for him, Zachary, Zander and Zayden wouldn’t be here. He also gave Zaley his soul so that she wasn’t lost before she was born. He gave everything for us. He was willing to have his soul snuffed out of existence to save the boys and myself. He was a changed man. You have no idea what he was like at that time. Nor do you understand what he went through when he was a child. I am proving to the world that a soul is not born bad. Zaley is not evil. She is a good, sweet, and kind girl. She would never hurt anyone. She is loved and cared for, which is something that my father never had when he was a child. They are not the same.”

“I don’t believe a word of that. That girl is creepy and dangerous.” Tam screamed at me, her finger pointing at my daughter. “I lost family to that psycho.”

“I am not Edmond.” Zaley cried out in fear when the woman pointed at her. In an instant, Zachary, Zander, Zayden, Talia, Reagan and Rika all surrounded Zaley to protect her.

“Put your hand down, Tam.” I screamed at her. “And you should know that you do not say such things about the royal family.”

“Oh yeah, what are you going to do? Execute me? You’re such a pathetically weak queen that you outlawed that method of dealing with people. If you hadn’t, I would have already killed that monster girl.”

“That is a direct threat against the princess.” Reece roared at her. “Shawn, Shane, arrest that woman.”

“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY WIFE!” Marion snarled. “I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU TRY TO TOUCH HER!”

“Arrest him too.” Reece told them. “He is issuing threats as well. Is there anyone else that thinks that they can talk that way about my daughter and not be punished?” Reece paused and glared at the people that were gathered. “I want you all to know that I would not have had them arrested if they hadn’t issued threats of violence and said that they would murder my daughter. We live in a land of free speech, and I honor that. I do not, however, honor blatant lies and hostility against the royal family. You want to complain about us, that’s fine. You do not wish death upon a little girl. That is not only immoral, it’s also disgusting. It just shows what a disgusting person you really are.”

There were cheers in the crowd at Reece’s words. Clearly, the majority of the people agreed with us, but there were some that I could tell were parents of those bullies at the school. I had talked to them before and gotten them to mostly understand about Zaley, but there were still issues all the time. I needed to make sure that she was protected more, but I also didn’t like to suffocate them by sending a guard to school with them.

I watched on, almost in a trance, as Shane and Shawn moved to remove the two from the throne room. I was about to move on when I noticed something that I had almost forgotten. LeRoy, now sitting all alone, had just seen his parents taken away. And now he was going to need someone to take care of him.

I might be a generous person, but that was beyond my capabilities. I could not take that boy into my home, not after how he treated Zaley. Thankfully, it didn’t look like that was going to be a problem. After a moment, a man rose to his feet. He looked a little like LeRoy, and a lot like Marion who had just been taken away.

“Can my wife and I take our grandson?” He asked me timidly. “I didn’t raise my son to act like that, and I want to teach my grandson that it’s not acceptable to behave in such a way.” The man spoke pleadingly.

“LeRoy, do you want to go with them?” I asked the child, hoping he would agree.

“I..I want my parents.” He pleaded, but he looked at the man behind him. “B..b..but I know that they are in trouble. I will go with my grandma and grandpa.”

“Then it is settled.” I nodded at them. “LeRoy will stay with them for the time being.”

Now that this scene was over, and the two offensive people were removed from the crowd, we were able to get back on track with the speech that we were here for. I explained to them all that we were revealing ourselves to the humans. I told them that we were going to be safe because we had gotten the laws to pass in our favor. I told them that there was nothing to worry about, and I truly believed that as well.

Some people asked questions about what was going to happen, and I was happy to see that Reagan and Rika were answering them with us, not missing a beat at all. They really were getting really good at running the pack and the politics that had to do with the kingdom. They were both really good in these roles.

With the discussion over, it was time for everyone to leave. They didn’t seem to be too worried about what was going to happen, but I could tell that some of them were just a little tense. I think that it was a combination of what had happened in the beginning of the meeting as well as the discussion that we had just had. They were trying to process it all. And thankfully, they all had a week left to process it before we reveal ourselves to the humans.
