Chapter 842: Chapter 27- Trinity – Letting The Family Know About Talia (VOLUME 5)
~~
Trinity
~~
If I was calling just to talk to one person, then I probably would have ended up calling through a mental link. However, I was calling to talk to multiple people. I needed to talk to Mom and Lila. I needed to talk to Reagan and Rika. I needed to talk to Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley. And I needed to talk to Rudy and Alexio. The last two in that group needed to be calmed down. I just knew that they were going to be going on a rampage.
Everyone but Reece left the room when I pulled my phone from my pocket. Perhaps they wanted to give me some privacy. Perhaps they knew who I was going to be calling and didn’t want to hear the panic on the other end of the call. I had a feeling that the moment that they picked up, there would be a ma.s.sive amount of frantic yelling.
I pressed the b.u.t.ton that was the speed dial for my living room back home. I wasn’t calling anyone specific. Instead, I was calling so that it would be a video call on the TV in the main part of the tower. It was a place that everyone would be able to see and hear me, and I could see and hear them all as well. It was just the most efficient way to do this. Honestly, with some of the things that had advanced in technology, simple video calls were still pretty much the same as they had been ten and even twenty years ago. The only difference was the ease with how we were able to do it.
I heard the ringing for just a fraction of a second before the call picked up. Either they were standing there, waiting for me to call, or they were about to call me.
.....
“Trinity!” I heard Mom’s frantic voice before she even appeared in the video. “Thank the G.o.ddess. I was just about to call you. Talia is gone. We can’t find her anywhere. When Beth went to wake her this morning, and a.s.sist her with getting ready, she was not in her room. We had a.s.sumed that she was still asleep because she is such a night owl, and that had been the reason that she was late to breakfast.” Mom looked so scared, but just as I was about to explain things to her, and the others that I could see gathered around her, Lila started to sob on the line.

“At first, I thought maybe she couldn’t sleep and was in the music room or the library. Or you know, maybe in the observatory. She likes to wander when she can’t sleep. But we searched the entire tower and the entire castle. We can’t find her at all, Trinity. She’s just gone.”
“I have failed you, Queen Trinity. I am not worthy to be her guard.” Rudy looked heartbroken at what had happened. Alexio, who was just beginning to speak, looked p.i.s.sed off.
“I will find whoever took her. I will-.”
“Can you all let me speak for a moment?” I interrupted him. “If you give me a minute, I can explain a few things to you all.”
“Mommy? Does that mean that Tally is with you?” Zaley, who had looked so sad a moment ago, was not smiling as if disaster had just been averted. I could feel her relief from all the way over here.
“Yes. She is with me.” The cries of relief came immediately, however they were almost instantly followed by grumblings of anger and wonder.
“Why?”
“How?”
“Did you do this just to give me a heart attack?”
There were several outbursts, but those were the ones that I heard first. After that, I wasn’t listening to them anymore.
“No. I didn’t do this to give you a heart attack. Honestly, Mom, why would you think that?”
“Well, you tell me, young lady! Why in the world did you make my grandbaby disappear in the middle of the night?” Mom was taking this pretty hard. That was understandable, she was supposed to be in charge of them all. Of course, she and the others would be really scared if one of the kids just disappeared for no reason at all.
“First of all, Mom, I am not a young lady anymore. I am going to be forty a lot sooner than I want to be. Secondly, I originally intended to have her home before it was time for her to go to sleep, but my plans seem to have changed.”
“What plans?” This was from Alexio. He took his job as a guard very seriously.
“Well, I called Talia here to help with the case a little bit. There was something that I knew she could do for me that no one else would be able to. However, this is a job that she is going to need to do repeatedly. So, for a little while, she is going to be travelling with me. I need to have some arrangements made for her with the school. She will complete all of her a.s.signments, which will be easy since they are all on the computer anyway. But I need this to not be held against her for her attendance. She’s in her senior year and I don’t want to jeopardize her college admission. Also, since she will be staying with me now, I will need someone to pack her some clothes. Mom, you can handle that for me, right? Lila, can you take the kids to school while my mom does that for me? Also, Rudy and Alexio, you are coming here as well, so you need to pack your bags. You will be traveling with Talia to protect her.”
“Good.” Alexio looked like he was going to demand that if I hadn’t suggested it.
“Thank you, Queen Trinity. I was hoping I would be able to get back to work.” Rudy may be the more easy going of the two, but he still took his job very seriously.
“Please, all of you get this done as soon as you can. I need Rudy and Alexio to get back here as soon as possible.” I made them aware of the urgency. I didn’t want to stand around waiting for too long. I wanted to get back to the Alpha’s house so I could learn what Talia found out from the others.
“Of course, I will pack right now.” Alexio was already leaving the room.
“Me too.” Rudy hurried after him.
“I am going to get Talia’s things together.” Mom rushed in the opposite direction from the other two.
“Thank you for calling, Trinity.” Lila seemed so relieved. “We were worried about her. I was so scared that something had happened to her.”
“I am sorry for scaring you.” I heard Reece walking up behind me as I said that.
“We’re sorry, Mom.” He sounded way more repentant than I did. “It was just necessary. And we didn’t want to wake anyone else. Trinity made a magic door for Talia to come through so that no one needed to be bothered.”
“Well, I think I would have preferred to be woken up.” Lila laughed awkwardly. “Finding your granddaughter missing for no reason is not a pleasant experience. We were scared that someone might have taken her. That, somehow, someone managed to get past all of your protections. It was the scariest thing that I had ever felt. Honestly, Reece, it was as bad if not worse than the time that I lost your father. I was a mess. It very nearly broke me.” As Lila tried not to cry too much, Ivy came walking over to the screen.
“Mom was really scared Reece. That wasn’t nice.” She looked so much like Lila, with a little bit of Grandfather thrown in for good measure. Ivy had golden brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was fair skinned, like Lila was, and had a thin, slight frame. She was pretty though, and a very sweet girl.
“You really shouldn’t have scared Lola like that.” My own little sister, Olivia, came up next to Ivy. Those two girls acted more like sisters than aunt and niece. Yes, the dynamic in our family is a little messed up. And Olivia, by the way, looked exactly like my mom. She had A warm shade of medium brown hair. It was closer to chestnut than anything else. And her eyes were such a lovely shade of green.
“I am sorry Olivia, and to you as well, Ivy.” Reece bowed his head in shame as the girls ganged up on him.
“Don’t be so hard on him. I was the one that called Talia over here. It’s my fault. But in all honesty, we need Talia right now. There is something that only she can do for us right now.” I did my best to explain to them and to lessen their anger at Reece.
“What is she able to do, Momma?” Zachary asked me with wonder in his voice.
“Is it really cool?” Zander added with excitement.
“I bet it’s something that makes people happy.” Zayden grinned.
“I bet it’s something that no one else can do except for Talia.” Zaley looked like she understood more than the boys did.
“You’re all right in your own way. It’s cool, it will make people happy, and she is the only person that I know who can do this for me. And you know what, that means that Talia is very special.”
“Yeah. Of course, she is. It’s Talia. She’s the best.” Zachary spoke as if it was just a matter of fact. They all loved her so much.
I watched Lila check the time on her watch and then look up at the kids that were in the room. I was sad that Reagan and Rika weren’t there, but they didn’t have the same schedules. And they might have been looking for Talia still.
“Alright, we need to leave now. Everyone, grab your backpacks and get your shoes on.” She was ushering them out of the way. “Trinity, we will call you later, like usual.”
“Thank you, Lila. And please, tell Reagan and Rika that we love them. Zachary, Zander, Zayden, Zaley, you all know that we love you too. Ivy and Olivia, we love you too.”
“Love you.” It echoed back to me six times and at the same time, Lila looked panicked.
“I need to tell Reagan and Rika that they can stop searching for Talia.” That’s what I thought might be happening.
“Have them call me so that I can explain things to them. I am sure that they are scared and worried as well.”
“They definitely are.” Lila nodded at me. “Alright, come on, all of you.” She ushered the kids away and the room was empty for a little bit.
