Trinity

~~

There was utter silence in the studio after the man’s question was spoken for us all to hear. I could tell that the others were curious about this as well, but the hosts, who were both human, were looking at me like they were completely offended by the man that had spoken. They had been fully supportive of Reece and I from the moment that we had arrived here. And I knew that they were allies of ours.

“Trinity, I know that this is a factless and baseless accusation that this man has hurled toward you with that question of his, but would you mind humoring him? I know that it would help a lot of people to settle their unease about you if you explained how things are with you all.” Kelsey leaned forward after she spoke and whispered with her hand covering her microphone. She wanted to make sure that no one would hear what she had to say. “Tinley Fraiser is a friend of mine, and I know that you are good people. I support you two completely. And so does Wayne.”

“Thank you.” I whispered to her as she pulled away from me. “And yes, Kelsey, I will answer his question. I know that this might help a lot of people with their apprehension about my kind.” I smiled at the camera. I tried my best, sweetest, and most innocent smile. I was sure that by the time that I was done, I looked no older than sixteen and that I appeared to be a pure and innocent angel.

“I can’t wait to hear this explanation.” Wayne smiled at me. “I know that this is going to be a wonderfully interesting piece of history that we never learned in school.” I smiled at him and nodded in agreement.

“It wasn’t taught in your schools, Wayne, but there are a lot of things that we need to learn in our lives as supernatural beings. And one of those is the history of our people. As you know how the saying goes, those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it. We don’t want to relive the dark ages where we were hunted by the humans, when we had less cooperation among our people and felt ostracized for just being ourselves. All we want is a world where we can all live harmoniously together.” I started the explanation and Reece picked up the thread seamlessly for me.

“There are things about history that no one wants to relive. And, unfortunately, there were times when our species were at odds. A time when humans knew of our existence and wanted to eradicate us. Back then, it was each group for themselves. The unification that we have had over the last twenty years has only served to strengthen our bonds. Our people are allies now, not enemies, and we want that with the humans as well.”

.....

“Exactly.” I nodded at Reece as I continued to speak. “Back in these dark times, when humans killed us and we returned the favor, there were lives lost all around. However, once we retreated to the shadows, turning ourselves into myths and legends, hiding ourselves from the people around us, there has been no rampant killings on either side. There would be a rogue human that managed to kill some of us, and likewise a rogue member of our society that killed humans as well. More than likely though, any killing that happened at the hands of our people was taking the lives of another of our people. Like humans, there used to be a lot of infighting with us as well.”

“Yes, it used to be quite common for fights for power to break out in a pack and the men would fight to the death to gain control. That doesn’t happen now, but it used to be a common thing.” Reece explained to them all.

“Now, about the missing people that you speak of sir, I can assure you that we are not responsible for it. However, I know that there is still a large human trafficking issue in almost every country in the world, including our own. And now that we do not need to hide as much, we can track them down a lot easier. I happen to know quite a few very skilled private investigators that I can put onto these cases. Not only that, but there are your typical runaways, as well as human murderers. There are a lot of explanations for these missing people but none of them have anything to do with our people.”

“That doesn’t answer my question at all. You didn’t say when you stopped killing humans.” The man nearly screeched over the line.

“Didn’t I?” I tilted my head in confusion as I looked toward a monitor in the distance. “I said that the killing of humans stopped generally around the dark ages. When there was a rogue among us, they were dealt with. We have even worked with humans over the years to stop these rogues. There was a man, a human man, that used to be quite good friends with some of my kind. He lived long ago and helped to keep the peace all over the world. His name was Alaric Jaegan.”

“Jaegan?” The man caught onto the name right away. “Like those murderers from the summer?”

“Yes, he was their ancestor. However, an ancient species of demons from a version of Hell had infiltrated the family and bastardized their ancestor’s memory. They turned them against my kind and made them kill my people.”

“Seems like that group had the best idea there is. You claim that you are not killing people, but you’re all just monsters.” The man’s voice was filled with rage when he spoke, like he was mad that I stopped the Jaegan from completing their mission.

“Sir, I ask you this one question, if we wanted to kill all the humans, then why haven’t we?” I paused for a moment after asking this to let it sink in for him. “We have been here with you all for millennia. If we were going to kill you all, if we wanted to rule the world, why wouldn’t we have done it by now? Why wouldn’t we have done it long before guns, tanks, and other advancements in military strategy had invented things that would hinder us? Why would we expose ourselves to you all if we were intent on ruling you all or killing you all? Wouldn’t it be easier if we were to just kill you all before making you aware of us? We aren’t here to hurt anyone at all. All we want is to live lives that aren’t filled with secrecy and hiding. We want to make sure that our children aren’t made to live in fear of doing or saying the wrong thing when out in the city with the humans.”

“HA!” The man’s barked laugh was almost earsplitting. “You claim that your kids are afraid, but what about our kids? What are they going to do when they have to see monsters on a daily basis.”

“How will they know any difference?” Reece said calmly as he leaned forward next to me. “We have been here all along. Do you think that just because you know we are there, you can suddenly see something that you didn’t see before? We look like you, unless we have consciously changed forms. They won’t see monsters. They will see the same people that have always been a part of their lives.”

“Th..th..they are monsters though. We will know that they are monsters.” The man was so flustered now. It was clear that he didn’t know what to do or say at the moment.

“Do I look like a monster?” I asked the man. “Can you tell that I am a wolf shifter? A Witch? A Fae? A Goddess? A Queen? Do I look any different than the people that you see on the street on any other given day? No, I don’t. I am just as normal as you are sir, so there won’t be any issues with the people of the world. This whole reveal was just so that we didn’t have to keep living in the shadows. We want the world to know that we are here, that we’re not going anywhere, and that we aren’t dangerous.”

“I don’t believe you. You’re all monsters. You’re all murderers. You’re all-.” The line clicked off then and I saw a fake smile on Kelsey’s face.

“Oh no, we seem to have been disconnected.” She had either ended the call, or an engineer behind the scenes had. I was glad that they had. “Well, now that the line is clear, let’s take another caller. Miss Belinda Brock, you have a question for Trinity and Reece?”

“Well, less a question and just something that I want to say to them. I think you two are awesome. I am as human as they come, and I love the two of you. I always have. I have followed your marriage through the papers and magazines for years. I love your family and how happy you seem to be. I know that you are good people, you help so many people. My son went to college because of your scholarship programs. And I think that you two are just beautiful. Reece, you are the most handsome man in the entire world. And Trinity, I have never seen a more beautiful woman than you. Neither of you are monsters. You are the most human people that I have ever seen. Actually, maybe it’s because you aren’t human, maybe that is why you are able to help so many people. You aren’t affected by the same levels of greed and selfishness.”

“Aww, thank you Belinda.” I smiled into the camera so that she could see the smile for her. “I am happy that you think that way. However, there are a lot of people in our community that are greedy as well. We really are just like humans in so many ways. Some of us are generous and giving and the others are greedy and wouldn’t help someone in need even if they were paid to do it. Like I said, we’re more human than most people think. The only difference is that we look different at times.”

“Amazing.” Belinda spoke reverently into the phone. “You are such amazing people.”

Following that first call, there was a lot of support for Reece and I. Some people were apparently on the fence and wanted to ask some questions about us and our people, which we answered as best as we could. And there were a few more people like that first caller, though they didn’t last on the line as long as he had.

By the time that the interview was over, I had a feeling that we were a little closer to global understanding. We needed them to know that we weren’t going to hurt anyone, and we weren’t going to leave either. We were people. We had rights. And we just wanted to live in peace.

After a very touching goodbye from Kelsey and Wayne, and a lot of the staff that was part of the show, Reece and I bid them all good day and started to leave. We left the same way that we had gotten there, only this time the magical door took us home rather than back to the top of the mountain. I would rather be home anyway, so that was no problem with me.

It was still very early in the day, but I was exhausted. I was ready for this day to be over already, but I knew that I needed to be there for the kids when they got home. Instead of going to bed until the morning, I decided to just take a nap, which I desperately needed. Especially with how big the baby was getting already, and that I only had a little over two months until she got here, I was definitely starting to feel tired really easily.

And this wasn’t going to end anytime soon. We had a lot more interviews planned, and I would do them all. All the way up to the day that I delivered the baby if I had to. Whatever it took to protect my people and my family.
