Trinity

I had an idea. One that came to me in an instant. I needed to get the attention of all the people that were in the stadium, to have them listen to me before they let the pandemonium and fear get to them.
“PLEASE!” I almost yelled into the microphone, getting their attention focused on me. “I WILL SAVE YOU ALL! NO ONE HERE WILL BE HURT! I PROMISE YOU ALL THAT!”
“HOW!” Lara screamed at me. I could see the fear that was in her eyes, but she wasn’t going to panic. She was maintaining her composure, at least for the most part.
“I can use magic to get you all out of here. I will take you all to our castle. You will be safe there and we will have our guards drive you all home safely. I promise, none of you are going to die and no one is going to get hurt.” There were still cameras that were broadcasting all that happened. The reporters hadn’t stopped them just because there was a commotion that was stirring outside. They were used to things getting a little dicey.
“You can use magic to get us all out of here?” One of the nonhumans planted in the audience asked. I don’t know if he was scared or trying to get the others to trust me. It might have been both, honestly.
“Yes. I will take you all. And you will be safe. I swear on my life and the lives of my children. You will come to no harm from my people.”
.....
“I..I..I say that we go with her.” That male reporter next to Lara spoke up hesitantly. He looked like he wasn’t sure that he should be saying anything at all, but he could clearly tell that there were a lot of rioters outside of the building.
“Yeah, I think so too. Plus, who doesn’t want to travel to a magical castle, and use magic for that matter.” Lara laughed nervously. It was the first slip in her armor aside from the fear in her eyes.
“Yes, all of you, please come this way.” I started to open a large door that I had connected to the front lawns of the palace. I knew that there would be fewer people there than anywhere else. And it was large enough for the influx of people that would be coming with us.
“I will guide you all through.” Rika called out to them. “Please, follow me and my brother. My mother needs to be the last one through, she will shut the door and keep us all safe.” She looked at me and nodded in encouragement.
“W..w..we just walk through this arch?” A scared human man asked as he looked at the large opening. I had made more of an arch than a door because I had so many people that needed to travel at once. It would take too long to get them all to the palace with just a small door.
“Yes. Just walk through it with us.” Rika told them. “Like this.” She started to walk through the arch as another crash sounded outside the stadium. They were about to burst inside at any moment.
“Let’s go!” The trembling man grabbed a woman’s hand, most likely his wife’s, and hurried after Rika. After watching the two of them pa.s.s through with no issues, the others seemed to take that as a cue to walk through the door. At this point, there were maybe thirty humans that were left among us, plus the reporters. It wouldn’t take long for them, but then we had the rest of our people to send through. They needed to hurry, because I knew that the threat was getting closer.
It took a little while longer, but all of them were finally surging through the arch in a steady stream. They would all be through it in no time at all. I thought that this was all going to be done before the rioters made it inside the stadium.

Of course, things couldn’t go as I hoped. Not this time anyway. There was another loud crash, and this time I heard the sounds of the walls caving in around the car that had crashed into the building. They were inside. And before I knew it, they would be in here with the rest of us.
Several people screamed when they heard the sounds of the people rus.h.i.+ng into the building. They surged forward and almost started to knock each other over, but with the guidance of Shawn and the others, they managed to get calmed down and stop the frenzy.
While the others still fled the area, Leelin, Crawford, Eldrige, and I started to put up barriers at all the tunnels into this part of the stadium. We wanted to keep the rioters away long enough to get them all out of here. We needed to protect everyone.
Some of the reporters and humans that were still streaming through the barrier saw what was happening, how we had cast magic, and nearly froze in place. They had to be not so gently encouraged to continue their trip to the other side of the arch.
Finally, it was just me, my guards, and Reece left in the stadium. We were able to see the surging rioters, at least a hundred of them, trying to get through to us. They were angry, and several of them had rifles and other firearms. They were intent on trying to kill us. Also, in the distance, we heard the sirens that seemed to have taken far too long to get here. I know that it had only been a few minutes, and that everything was happening quickly, but it still felt like it had taken far too long for them to get here.
“Go on.” I told Reece and the others. “I will come through last, clearing the barrier and then shutting the door.”
“Trinity, Little Bunny, I think that we need to go together.” Reece protested.
“Yes, Trinity, we need to go together.” Vincent nodded in agreement.
“None of us are leaving here without you, Trinity.” Shane spoke firmly and seriously. He was definitely in work mode, or he wouldn’t be sounding like this right now.
“Fine. Then be ready to go in three. Two.” I started to count down as I watched the arch. It was calm, all the others were through and I saw no one else that needed to get through. “One.”
Just as I said that final number, the others started to rush through the arch. Only there was a problem. I wasn’t moving with them. As I lowered the barrier, I heard the sound of someone that was hiding out among the seats. It was the sound of a teenage girl’s voice. She had obviously been left behind and was too frightened to move. However, when the barriers came down and the men and women with their weapons were able to get through, she screamed in fear.
“Dammit!” I said as I turned and ran on the air toward the sound.
“TRINITY!” Reece screamed after me as I ran away, but he was pulled into the door by the others before they noticed that I wasn’t with them.
I had to hurry. The barriers were down, so they were in the room. I could put up new barriers, which I did around the arch, but not the doors. There was no reason to block the doors if they were already in here. And I also put a barrier around the girl that was in the stands.
I ran to her, sprinting as fast as I could on nothing at all. My feet landing on the air like it was solid. The girl’s eyes kept flickering from me to the men that were close to her. They had seen her and were rus.h.i.+ng toward her. They thought that she was one of us, that she was a monster. She wasn’t though. I could tell by her scent. She was a human.
“I’ve got you.” I said as I took away the barrier and grabbed the girl’s hand. I used magic to make sure that she wouldn’t slip away from me and threw her over my shoulder. I was running again, as fast as I could, toward the arch. I needed to get out of here. I needed to protect this girl. And I needed to make sure that the others were all doing OK as well. Why had this day turned in the wrong direction?
I was vaguely aware that there were still cameras that were pointed toward me as I raced toward the arch. They had been left behind by the others and that meant that the world was watching what was happening right now. Well, let them make what they will of it. I just wanted to save these people.
I let the air solidify in front of me in a downward slope. I needed to hurry, and this was the fastest method that I knew of to go down. I set the girl down in front of me, and then quickly joined her on the invisible slide. Needless to say, the girl was terrified the moment that we started to slide toward the floor and her screams intensified many times over.
As soon as we were on the floor, only feet away from the door, I dropped the barrier again. The rioters, with their weapons, were so close now, but I was still faster than they were. I picked the girl up once more, threw her over my shoulder, and ran through the arch.
I felt the s.h.i.+fting in pressure and the magic that pressed around us in that tunnel-like effect. And the moment that I was inside of it, I used my magic to slam the door on that side shut. I stopped all the others, the ones with their guns and hate, from coming through with me.
As soon as I was through the arch on the other side, it disappeared behind me. I had already closed the magic, so there was nothing that needed to keep it open. And even though I had the feeling of traveling through the s.p.a.ce between the two arches, the time that it took me to get from there to here was only a second if that.
“Trinity!” Reece called out to me as I sat the trembling girl on her feet.
“Ca.s.sidy!?” A frantic woman called out as well. “I thought that you were right behind me. Sweetheart, I am so sorry for leaving you.”
“I was too scared to run, Mom. I am so sorry. I was just too scared.”
“M..M..Mrs. Gray, you saved my daughter. If it wasn’t for you, those people would have gotten her. I..I am sorry that I doubted you. I know now that you are a genuinely good person that is as honest as you say. I will trust you from here on out, and I will tell everyone I know to trust you as well.”
“I appreciate that.” I didn’t expect both of them to smile. I was still a little too worried and keyed up. “Are you alright?” I asked the girl. She had to be no older than sixteen or seventeen, Talia’s age. She was scared and acting younger right now though. I didn’t blame her either.
“Yes, I am. Thank you.” She let go of her mother and hugged me tightly. “Thank you so much.”
“I just didn’t want you to be hurt. I don’t ever want anyone to get hurt.” I hugged her back, letting my warmth spread to her.
“My goodness.” Lara spoke in shock. “M..Mrs. Gray, you are pregnant. You did all that, saving her and carrying her, and you’re pregnant.” I guess that the top that I was wearing successfully hid the belly like I wanted it to. However, it was now a disheveled mess.
“That doesn’t matter right now. It didn’t hinder me. All that matters right now is that you are all safe.” I looked at them all, seeing their wary and terrified faces. And I knew right then that this wasn’t over. Not yet.
