Trinity

I could tell that there was still a lot of panic in the eyes of the spectators and reporters that we had brought back here with us to the castle. Some of them were shaking and looking around a little timidly. They looked a lot like sheep that had wandered away from the pasture and were now fearing the big bad wolf that was about to eat them.
I could have told these people that this was offensive, but it wasn’t their fault. And I knew that, for the most part, a lot of these people weren’t scared of me and my people. They were scared of those rioters that had caused a scene during the reveal that we had planned. We had thus far done nothing at all to these people. They were safe with us, and a lot of them knew that.
In fact, there were several that were looking at me reverently. They were acting as if I was some ma.s.sive hero or savior, just because I refused to let a single human get hurt in that chaos. I hadn’t done it for their approval or for their devotion. I didn’t want anything from them except for us to be able to continue to live as we have always lived.
“Mrs. Gray?” Lara Timmons came over toward me, a look of determination on her face. She wasn’t the only one that was walking toward me though, there were others, though it was mostly reporters that were walking with her.
“Yes, Lara?” I gave her a gentle smile despite the pounding of my heart. I was still feeling the adrenaline from the situation that had happened just moments ago.
“I would like to talk to you. There is a lot that I think we need to discuss.” She looked serious as she spoke, a quiet sort of determination in her eyes.
.....
“Yes, I do believe that you are right. There is a lot that I need to talk to you and the others about. Before I do that though, allow me to address the group.” I looked around me at all of the people that were never meant to be here, but that were here now.
“Alright. I will wait right here.” She nodded and so did several of the others.
Stepping away from Lara and the other reporters, I rose higher into the air. They had seen me like this before, so this shouldn’t surprise them all that much. However, I did see several sets of wide eyes, as if the spectators were shocked by seeing me use this magic once again.
“Can I have your attention please?” I called out to them, drawing all eyes in the courtyard toward me. Even the eyes of those that were just coming out of the castle were trained on me so that they were seeing and hearing all that I was about to say.

The staff that was coming out right now had all been watching the news when the attack on the stadium had happened. So they knew exactly what had happened. I just hoped that there weren’t any news stations out there that were blaming any of that on us. I was sure that there would be though. There would be more people like those that were attacking the stadium, and we would have to deal with them before we could all live in peace. All we needed to do was make sure that they knew that we weren’t a threat.
“I know that a lot has happened today, and I know that a lot of you are scared. I want you all to know that we are not here to hurt you.” I looked at the scared humans and felt an aching in my heart. “I want to open my home to you right now. Any of you that might need some a.s.sistance at the moment, we have a world cla.s.s psychiatrist here that will be able to help you with any issues that you might need to discuss. If you require any medical attention, we have doctors on hand that can treat your wounds. If you’re simply hungry or need a drink, we open our dining hall to you. I want you all to know that we are allies, one hundred percent, with all of you and all the humans. We are all citizens of this world, and this day does not change that for us. If you choose that you do not want to come into the castle for anything, we will have some of our men drive you home. That is a guarantee no matter what, whenever you do leave, I will see to it that you are taken wherever it is that you need to go.”
There was an eerie calm that followed my words. I didn’t think that what I had just said was all that strange, I just wanted to help these people that had just been through something that was likely very traumatic for them. Was it worth looking at me like I was a strange being from outer s.p.a.ce?
That silence only lasted another moment though. After that, there was an outpouring of cheers and thanks.
“Thank you so much, Mrs. Gray.”
“Trinity, you are amazing.”
“We love you, Trinity!”
“Thank you so much!” The words brought a smile to my face. I couldn’t help it. Listening to all of these words and so many more, it was like I was starting to feel as if what we had done today, the whole reveal ourselves to the world thing, really was the right thing to do.
The staff that had come out of the castle were attending to the spectators and the reporters that had not come over to me. They were taking them inside to rest and relax until they were ready to be taken back to their homes. Juniper was going to be speaking with all of them as well, making sure that they didn’t have any lasting trauma or emotional scars from this day.
The entire time that we moved the people into the castle and started to take care of them, mentally and physically, the reporters that were eager to talk to me were following along behind us like they were a herd of overly friendly and excited dogs. By the time that all of the others were taken care of, I felt like I was going to trip over someone’s tail or something. That was how much they were following me around.
I will admit, I had to suppress a laugh when I turned to face them and saw that they were waiting excitedly. I could practically see their tails wagging as they looked at me.
“Alright Lara, if you would all like to follow me to the throne room, I will talk to you there.” I looked at some of them that were still carrying cameras. I was aware that some of them had been filming since they came inside with us, some of them hadn’t stopped filming since this all started. “I am sorry for this, but I would like to ask that none of you film inside of the throne room, please. That is a private place, as would my own personal residence be in this castle. There are some places that will be off limits, and I will request that you leave all phones and cameras in the reception area outside of the throne room.”
“I think that is a reasonable request.” Lara nodded at me and turned to the others. “You all agree with that, don’t you?” She was basically telling them that if they wanted to have an exclusive, then they needed to prove that they weren’t going to stab me in the back.
“I think it’s understandable.” A man with a deep mahogany complexion and an easy smile nodded immediately.
“I don’t see what is so private about a throne room.” Another man, pale with silvery blond hair and narrow brown eyes glared at me.
“I am sorry, I do not think that I know who you are. I have not yet met all of you.”
“My name is Lucas Habberman, I am with the Weekly Wonder.” I knew that newspaper, well magazine. They were one that almost always tried to find a fault in someone or something. This man here wasn’t about to be an ally to me. At least, not right away. I might be able to win him over, but I wasn’t going to hold my breath for that.
“It is nice to meet you, Lucas. Now, to answer your question about the throne room, well, think about other palaces and castles in the world. Most of them don’t allow filming inside of them at all. I have not stopped that from happening. However, the throne room is where there are important discussions that happen among my people. I would like to keep that part of my people’s world safe and sacred. I do hope that you will understand. Also, I am not sure what you all want to discuss with me, and some might wish to retain their anonymity.”
Of course.” He smiled and I will not at this moment describe how reptilian it was. If I hadn’t known any better, I would have said that he was a snake or lizard s.h.i.+fter. Then again, I knew that he was as human as all of the others that were here with us, so that look was all just him and his personality. Then again, it could have also been just an unfortunate face that he was born with. Who really knew for sure?
I nodded at him and then looked at the group of reporters that were with him and Lara. The man that had agreed and understood as well as the other ten with them. There were thirteen in all, a baker’s dozen, and they were all who I was hoping would help me get the truth out to the rest of the world.
“Before we continue, I would like to be introduced to you all. You all have the advantage of knowing me, but I do not know who most of you are.”
Thankfully, they were all eager to introduce themselves. The man with the mahogany complexion was known as Darius Ingram, he looked polite as well as smart, so I knew that he would be an excellent addition to the group. Along with him were Tabitha Phillips, Jonathon Kenny, Gwyneth Holbrook, Travis Connolly, Wade Abberton, Francine Olson, Vivian Miller, Mateo Pérez, Brandy Lexington, and Katya Iliev. This group of reporters were from various companies and worked in various mediums for their crafts, but they all had something in common. They all sought the truth.
“I thank you all for the introductions and I ask that you all please come to join me in the throne room. That is this way.” I pointed into the distance and saw them all lean as if they were looking for something to magically appear in front of them. “Vincent here will show us the way, and the others will be joining us as well.”
“Mrs. Gray?” Lara looked at me with a grin. “Is it true that you sleep with all of these men?” She looked at the handsome men, my entourage of guards that were following us.
“Absolutely not!” Reece snapped in anger. “Where did you hear that?” He sounded furious.
“Calm down, Reece. I am sure that there have been rumors from somewhere.”
“Indeed there are.” Lara tried to look a lot smaller than she had been in response to Reece’s anger. “I didn’t mean to anger you, it’s just that there are rumors as to why these men are always with you.” They all started to laugh, with the exception of Reece that is.
“No, I do not sleep with them. I have only been with one man in all of my life, and that is my husband Reece. The others are like brothers to me. They are my guards and close advisers. They are all just as happily married as I am. So, to answer that question Lara, I have never slept with a single one of them.”
“Well, at least we can say that you people have morals.” Lucas grinned and I saw a slight lessening of that cunning look. I was starting to think that perhaps he was just unfortunate looking after all.
“We prefer to be called super naturals.” I smiled at him. “And we have a lot of morals. You will find that the majority of our people will be completely faithful once they decide to marry. We are intensely loyal to our lovers as well, so there won’t be much infidelity among our kind.”
“Good to know.” Katya smiled and her dark eyes crinkled.
“Alright then, allow us to continue. Vincent, if you wouldn’t mind.”
“Of course, Trinity.” He gave the gathered crowd a nod and then turned to lead us in the direction of the throne room. It was time for us to start discussing whatever it was that Lara had in mind earlier. I was sure that whatever it was going to be, it had to be interesting.
