"Come on! Wake up. Don"t let this end here. Not after you beat me so easily. Come on!" Oh my G.o.ddess, I knew who it was now. I knew who that voice belonged to, but it made no sense at all. How was he here? How had he gotten to me? What was going on?


"E..Edmond?" I choked out a mouthful of water as I said his name.


"That"s it. Breathe." He seemed to sigh in relief as he looked at me. I could tell that my vision was clearing up a little and I was able to see his face.


It really was Edmond. It really was my father that had come to save me. I don"t know how he had gotten here, or why he had come here at all, but he had just saved my life by pulling me out of that blast of water.


Momentarily, I ignored him and looked around. The dragon was still blasting away at the others, but my s.h.i.+eld was still firmly in place.


"Don"t worry, you"re a wonderful witch. You made something spectacular and they"re still safe. Not to mention, I reinforced it myself. It was hard to fit my s.h.i.+elds around yours since it was so solid, but I managed it. I am sorry, that was what took me so long to pull you out of the water. I knew that you would want to make sure that the children were safe. Them and your friends. You are that kind of a person, Trinity, and I know that."


"E..Edmond? How did you get out of your cell? What happened? Why are you here?" I realized after saying all of that stuff that I sounded quite rude and ungrateful. That wasn"t what I wanted to put forward right now. He had just saved my life. He hadn"t needed to, but he did. "Thank you by the way!" I hurriedly said the words so that he didn"t think that I was ignoring what he had done for me. "Thank you for saving me. I know that you didn"t have to, and honestly I don"t know why you did, but thank you."


"You are very welcome." I saw my father smile and nod at me. "And I know that you wouldn"t expect me to save you, Trinity. I know that to you I am nothing but a monster. However, I promise you that I have changed. I am not the same man that I used to be. I know what I did wrong. We"ve already talked about this, earlier. I know that you probably didn"t believe it, Trinity, but it is true. I truly regret what I did. I have wanted nothing more than to apologize to you and all of the others that I have hurt. I can"t do that, not to most of them anyway. I can apologize to you though. Whether you accept my apology or not, I just want it to be out there."


I watched as my father took a deep, settling breath. He was trying to calm whatever nerves were raging through him. Then, when he opened his eyes, I could see how determined he was. He was looking into my eyes and there was a serious feeling coming off of him.


"Trinity, I will never be able to atone for my sins. I will never be able to do enough to make you forgive me for what I did to you and your mother. I will never be able to make any of it right. However, I want you to know that I truly, from the deepest recesses of my heart and soul, truly regret what I have done. The things that I did to you, your mother, and all of the other mothers and children. I was a horrible person that did reprehensible things. And no number of apologies will ever make it OK."


I could see how much he meant the words that he was saying. This wasn"t just a random thing that Edmond was saying. He truly, deeply felt these things that he was saying. And that made it even worse. He truly thought that nothing that he ever said or did would earn him forgiveness, but he was still here. He still saved me and he still put all of his feelings into that apology.


I really wanted to forgive him at that moment. I don"t know why, but I did. I wanted to say the words to him, I wanted to say that he hadn"t had the chance in life to be a good person because he was made out to be evil since the day that he was born. But those words were so hard for me to force out. They were so hard for me to say right now.


"E..Edmond, I.."


"No, not right now, Trinity. You can tell me whatever it is later. I don"t know if I am able to hear it. However, right now we need to defeat Hekate." That right there was a surprise too. He used to wors.h.i.+p Hekate. He was borderline in love with her. And now here he was ready to kill her alongside me. That, along with everything else, was proof that he had changed. That was proof that he was not the same man that I knew. But who, and what, was he now?


"Y..yeah. We need to stop her." I nodded at Edmond as he held his hand out to me. "Let"s kill this dragon b.i.t.c.h and then we can talk about what we need to. Does that sound like a good plan to you?"


"It sounds like way more than I deserve." I saw him smile at me, a truly genuine and happy smile that I had never seen from him before. "And I say that it is something that I will cherish more than anything else in the entire world.


"Don"t be so over dramatic." I rolled my eyes at him, trying to get my mind back into the fight. I could still see the two water heads from the dragon blasting water at the s.h.i.+elds that Edmond and I had put into place. It was time for us to deal with this. It was time for us to put an end to the dragon. Together, me and my father, we were going to fight against Hekate.


That was something that I never thought I would think. Fighting together alongside my father. As an ally and not as an enemy. When did things in the universe become so distorted and messed up? When did things start to become so flipped around and topsy turvy?


I don"t know when it happened. And I didn"t know if me killing my father was the cause of it or not. But I could say, with complete confidence, that I was happy to have this man fighting by my side. I was happy to be able to have just this small moment of companions.h.i.+p and cooperation with my father.


I didn"t know what that said about me and my sanity, but I knew that it was the way that I felt. I didn"t know how Reece, Dad or Grandfather would feel about this, but I knew that I needed to fight with my father.. I had to team up with him to take down my biggest enemy yet.
