Trinity

"There is no need to get so worked up already, Trinity. There is a lot more that you need to see. Please, calm down and keep watching."

At that point, the other me reached into the bag at her feet again. She pulled out another handful of that glittering black powder, and then threw it into the fire. The fire roared and blazed to life as it reached toward the sky once more. A few moments later, as it settled back into that purple, blue, and black flickering, the other me started to speak again.

"It was not long after that last memory that there came another point in your life where a major decision was made. This decision could technically have had two different outcomes. Two different ones than the way that it all played out. I think this is something that you need to see, something that will make you understand where your erroneous decision making has had the largest impacts."

"I do not make erroneous decisions. I make the choices that best befit the situation. I make the decisions that are best for me and my people."

"Do you, now?"

Without saying anything other than that, the other me just looked at the fire and the images started. She didn't give a preamble to this memory, she just started watching it on the TV screen type of view that was there in the flames.

I was now looking at a scene that I had nearly forgotten about. I think that I had simply tried to block it from my mind because of what had happened during this time.

There, in front of me, was the foyer of the old estate, and standing in it were Caleb, Frederick, and myself.

"What is it you're missing?" Caleb asked me.

"What?"

"You said you needed something but couldn't get it. What can't you get?"

"Oh, I'm missing a couple books for my college courses that started today." I answered him, but for some reason I felt embarrassed.

"We can't have that, can we?" Frederick smiled at me.

"Would you like me to get it for you?" Caleb smiled wide, showing his perfectly straight, white teeth.

"No, I couldn't impose on you. You just recently got back, after all."

"It's no problem, Luna." Caleb soothed me with his soft voice.

"If you really don't mind, I would appreciate it."

"Of course, I'm here to help you as much as my cousin."

I tried to explain to Caleb what it was I needed, and where Shane had gone wrong when he picked up my books last week, but Caleb wasn't certain he would be able to tell the difference between the books I already had, and the ones I needed. 

"It's fine Caleb, I can always wait until Vincent is available." I deflated as I spoke, a defeated tone filling my voice.

"How about you come with me?" He asked, a smile spreading across his face. I was momentarily filled with anticipation, but it was quickly replaced with apprehension.

"I don't know, Reece would be angry if I left right now. You know, with everything that is going on."

"If you're not safe with the second strongest wolf in the pack, his own Beta, then who could you be safe with?" He asked, a confident look in his eyes. "Besides, it's the only way you'll make sure you get the right books." He had a good point. I needed these books, and as Reece's Beta, he should be strong enough to protect me."

"Alright, but just to the store and back."

"Of course, Luna, I wouldn't dream of taking you anywhere else that might be considered dangerous."

"Just let me go get ready." I hurried from the room so I could get shoes and a jacket from my bedroom.

I remembered the day now. The scene continued to shift and morph after that into what I remember happening. I rode with Caleb to the bookstore and he parked so far away from the building that I thought it was odd. After that, Donna, Leslie, and Jeremy had surrounded us. Only, I learned later that they only surrounded me. I was their target and they were there to take me to my father.

I tried to fight but there were four of them, so I knew that I didn't stand a chance. My best option was to run away, but even that failed. I watched my pathetic attempts, their assholish ways, and even the point where they chloroformed me and knocked me out.

The next part of the scene I had never seen before, no one alive today had. It involved the four of them throwing my limp body into the trunk of the car and them all piling inside. They drove swiftly to an airport and loaded me onto a small private plane that flew to a waiting car near the Black Canyons.

They continued to manhandle my body as they threw me onto the floor in the back seat of another car and drove to the house that my father was using at the time. I heard Leslie say that he wished that they had more time, because he wanted to play with me some more. I even saw him fondling my breasts and his hand moving toward other areas, but Donna stopped him.

"She is a mongrel, don't sully yourself." Her voice sneered at me.

"Mongrel or not, she's still a sexy woman. I would love to have my way with her."

"Find someone less stupid." She reached across me and slid a finger across his cheek. "There are much better choices out there."

"Hmm, that's true." I was disgusted then, because the two of them started to make out and fondle each other over my unconscious body. UGH! I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't.

They were rough with me after that. They threw me and tossed me about when we arrived at the house. When they handed me off to the warlocks that were there, I was even more abused. The warlocks threw me over their shoulders like a sack of flour, and when they got to the basement, they just threw me to the floor.

While I was laying on the floor, I saw my father come in. He stood over my body and watched me like I was some kind of specimen. He looked like he was lording over me and it just made me want to punch him.

"She doesn't look anything like her mother, what a shame. The mother was quite beautiful. But, alas, my genes are strong and more potent, as I knew they would be. No one is better than me. I am the man that will someday rule the world, of course my genetics would beat out some piece of shit wolf. Still though, there are a few similarities to her mother. A little in the bone structure, and something a little ethereal, just like the mother had. I am glad. It will make her a worthy pawn. I can use her to seduce my enemies and to breed strong new generations of my kin. She will be very useful to me. Yes, I have so many plans and ideas already."

Ick. What the hell. He was thinking all of that while I was still unconscious. What a sick, deranged, demented individual. How the hell did I get so unlucky as to have that man as my father? Why did he have to do that to my mother? Why did he have to ruin so many lives?

"Keep watching, Trinity, this is where things start to get interesting. This is where connections were strengthened, and bonds were sealed. But not in the way that people thought that they would be."

I watched the scene before me, all the while my father sat there in the corner of the room, staring at my limp body. There seemed to be some ghostly image that entered the room and ran to me. He looked worried and scared.

At that moment, my body in the images started to stir and I woke up. I looked around me, confused as to what was going on.

"Trinity!" Reece called out to me and I saw myself turn to look in the direction of the voice but there was nothing there for my body to see. Reece was invisible to her, or rather me. "I'll find you, please hang in there.. I'm sorry, Little Bunny."
