"What is it that you need to show me? Please, just get it over with. Just tell me what it is that I need to know. I am ready for this to end already."
"There is still much for you to see. Come now Trinity, you know that it is not over yet."
The images changed again, this time it was the day that the punishment was enacted for the two traitors at the abbey. This day was not a good memory for me because I had felt terrible doing this to them.
"Thank you all for gathering on such short notice." Gabriel greeted the gathered crowd before the abbey. He and Ghirald then went on to explain the crimes of the two men that were going to be punished.
"These two did not just prove untrustworthy." Gabriel"s voice became deeper and angrier as he spoke. "They outright insulted our Queen and King. They outright refused to accept them as the G.o.ddess-chosen royals. They even dared to fight against our King, who is the only wolf to be granted a Lycan form in over two thousand years. If any of you needed another confirmation as to the validity of their positions, that is yet another indicator, another proof if you will."
There seemed to be no doubt in any of the eyes I could see. The crowd listened with rapt attention as the men before them spoke. But now it was my time to take the lead.
Moving to stand between Gabriel and Ghirald, I raised my voice to address the crowd.
"These men have shown that they are no ally of ours. Mine or yours. We are all in danger as long as they know what our plans are. I do not believe their crimes warrant death, but they cannot remain among us. They must be punished for their actions. For that matter, they will be stripped of their status by the Sentinelle, allowing them to age again. As no one knows what this will do to their bodies, they may have a shortened life span now." I saw genuine fear take the lead on the two faces that were looking up at me. Their anger dropped and fear took over. "Furthermore." I began again. "They have expressed no desire to follow the leader of their people. The G.o.ddess chose me to be the queen not just of the wolves but of every s.h.i.+fter on this planet. If they choose not to follow my lead or my command, then they have no need, no right, to call themselves wolves."
Another ripple ran through the audience at my words. There was curiosity on all the faces looking at me from the crowd.
"Since these men are not worthy of being wolves, I will be locking that part of them away along with all their memories of the abbey. They will no longer be able to find their way back here. They will live out the rest of their lives as humans."
"No, you can"t do this!" Ralph yelled when he heard my declaration.
"No, she can"t. She doesn"t have that ability." Charles seemed petulant as he spoke.
"I wish you would have shown at least a little remorse, Charles. But the fact that you didn"t means that I no longer feel sorry for what I must do." I gave him a look that I know was full of anger and frustration.
I moved forward and proceeded to lock away their wolves, all the while they were yelling at me.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Ralph was screaming over and over again.
"No, how could you? You can"t do this to me. Give me my wolf back you b.i.t.c.h." Charles screamed at me with venom dripping from his words.
"Pay heed to how you address my wife." Reece snarled at him.
"f.u.c.k you and your wife!" Charles yelled back to Reece. "Give me my d.a.m.n wolf back. I can"t hear him. Did you kill my wolf? You b.i.t.c.h, you murdered my wolf!" Charles began to thrash on the ground yelling while Ralph began to sob with his head bent toward the ground.
"My wolf." Ralph moaned. "My wolf."
"You b.i.t.c.h. You will never rule. I will see to it that you never rule our people."
There was a rush of movement as six men rushed past me all at once. Frustrated by Charles" constant berating and foul language, Reece, Dietrich, and all the guards had moved in unison. Not paying attention to the actions of the others and focusing on their own task, they all six landed a kick on him at the same time. Their feet all landed in various points from his head, abdomen, groin (that one was Vincent) and legs. Charles" ranting and raving ended abruptly with a very painful sounding cry.
"I told you to watch your mouth, a.s.shole." Reece snarled as he walked back to me and put his hand around my waist.
"I"m not done yet, Reece, I need to lock their memories." I told him, causing him to retract his hand from my waist and instead settle it on my shoulder.
Shane and David violently pulled Charles back up so that he was sitting on his knees again. He was still glaring at me with angry eyes, but this time they were filled with tears and rimmed in red. Was he crying because of his wolf or the pain of six kicks?
After I did my best to seal their memories away, the two men pa.s.sed out on the ground and everyone around us thought they had died.
"Don"t worry, they are merely sleeping." I told everyone looking on who had gasped when the men fell over. "I require some volunteers. I want these two men removed from the village and taken somewhere safe. Leave them money and any of their belongings that does not mention the abbey. They will wake in twelve hours." I felt the ripple of magic that meant the sleep spell would last just that long. "They need to be far enough away that they will not even remember what country the abbey is in."
Several people offered to help, and the men were removed from the abbey. This was where the scene went into things that I had never seen before. The men were taken to a plane and flown to a small village in Spain that had a small wolf pack. They woke up there with no memories as to how they had gotten there or why.
It was clear that they remembered each other but they couldn"t figure out where they knew each other from. This not knowing actually caused much anger and resentment to form inside of them.
I watched as the men tried to make ends but were struggling since they didn"t have any real-world skills. Unable to provide for themselves, they started to pillage villages like pirates or barbarians from previous generations. During their rampages, they destroyed homes, businesses, and lives. They kidnapped women to please themselves. They held people hostage for ransom. And they killed. They killed a lot of people until the local wolf pack stepped in to save everyone.
The wolf pack could tell that the two men had been wolves but were unable to contact their animals anymore. However, they didn"t take pity on them, they executed the men for the crimes that they had committed. Only then did the rampage finally end.
"Do you see now, Trinity? You sent those angry men into the world to allow them to destroy so many more lives until they were eventually executed. All because you were not strong enough at the time to kill someone. You allowed so many more people to be hurt because you did not have what it took to end it all right then and there."
"I didn"t want to be a killer! I didn"t want to have their blood on my hands." I felt horrified by what I had seen. This was devastating, and it was all my fault.
"Things get worse from here, Trinity. Much worse."
"Please, I don"t want to see anymore of it. Don"t show me anything else. Please."
"We have a few other things that need to be shown, Trinity. I promise you that it is almost over. Just a few more."
"Please, no.. I can"t take it. Please!"
