Chapter 497 - Reece – Searching The Barn And The Shed (VOLUME 3)

Reece

~~

I was a little frustrated when Trinity told me, and the others, to search the outer buildings. I would have preferred to stay with her. I didn't like leaving her when we were in unfamiliar situations like this. We didn't know if there was a killer on the loose somewhere in this vicinity or not. So why, then, was she sending me away?

Actually, I already knew why. The others were nowhere near as strong as we were. Trinity was the most powerful person that I had ever met in my entire life and, through her, I was an extension of that power. She wanted to send someone that had been blessed by the Gods and Goddess with the other party, and that only left me. So that was why she wanted to split us up. Still, I didn't like it.

When we got outside, I immediately saw that Nathair had followed my orders and was instructing the nearby knights to watch the house since Queen Trinity was still in there with half as many guards. I was glad that he was so willingly following orders.

When we got around to the back of the property, I could see the barn and the shed that we were going to search. They were both made of metal like the house was, the primary source of metal seemed to be silver and gold.

In the barn, which we searched first, there were four horses that looked to be a little hungry, but otherwise fine. Their stalls had clearly not been cleaned out in a day or two which made for a stronger stench and a bigger mess.

Since they were hungry, the horses were a little less than cooperative. So, to achieve our mission of thoroughly searching the barn we had to feed the horses while searching. Oh well, it wasn't that bad I guess, and it helped the animals.

In the end, no matter how thoroughly we searched the barn, there was nothing that we could find. There was nothing that was out of the ordinary or amiss at all. I was beginning to think that coming all the way out here had been a waste of our time.

When we went into the shed, we found out just how cramped it was with the four of us in there. Still, we did our best to search every nook and cranny possible. However, I wasn't very hopeful, and I was swiftly losing faith in this whole thing.

"I think I have found something." Kayda's voice sounded so loud in the silence of the room that it might as well have been an explosion.

"What is it?" I asked as I hurried over to her. The other two were already following after me.

"There is a panel here that doesn't seem to fully match the others."

When I was next to her, I saw what it was that she meant. There was part of the paneling that didn't have the exact same pattern as the rest. The difference was subtle but it was there. When I touched the panel, I felt that it was able to slide to the side.

When the panel moved, it revealed what looked like a door. There were hinges and a frame, all made of gold and silver, and it was shining brightly, but it had no handle at all.

"How the hell are we supposed to open that thing?" Trevor asked as he walked closer to the door and tried to touch it.

The moment Trevor's fingers tried to touch the door he was knocked to his ass and slid across the floor until he hit the wall.

"What the hell?" He looked confused as he stared at the door.

"What happened?" I asked as I went to touch the door. I too was thrown to my ass and slid away from the door. I ended up against the wall about four feet to the side of Trevor.

"What is up with that door?" Trevor asked me with shock.

"It's enchanted." I shook my head. "I think we need Trinity. Nathair, please go and get Queen Trinity for me." I instructed him and he disappeared after a quick nod. "This is something that we should leave up to someone with magic like her."

A few minutes later, Nathair returned with Trinity and the others. They had supposedly finished searching the house and was happy to have been called out here to see what we had found.

I had re-covered the door while Trinity was on her way here to stop the temptation of the others, and myself. We didn't need to test it again to see if we were able to touch it. It would just end the same way as the previous two times.

"Have you tried to open the door yet?" Trinity asked me with a serious look in her eyes and her hand pressed against the door.

"We wanted to try." I answered her honestly as I watched on in awe. She was not thrown back when she tried to touch the door. I knew we had needed her.

"What do you mean that you wanted to try?" She was confused.

"We can't even touch the door."

"What do you mean? How could you not touch the door? It's right here." She just didn't seem to get it yet.

"What I mean is that, whenever we tried to touch the door, it threw us away from it."

After she looked at the door for a few minutes, she broke her silence.

"This makes no sense to me."

"This is just a thought, Trinity, but perhaps the door will allow you to touch it because you are part Fae, unlike any of the rest of us. You are the only one part Fae among us." Vincent's words seemed to surprise her more than I thought they would.

"Trinity? Do you think that might be the reason?" I felt my eyes go wide as I asked her that. "I mean, it makes sense to me."

"Yeah, now that Vincent mentions it, that seems like the only logical thing." Trevor added.

"I think it is a good thing that we have a Fae with us then." Landon grinned.

"Are you going to try and open the door?" I asked her.

"I am."

No sooner had she said those words did the door start to glow even more. It was clear she was putting magic into it. The rest of us were just standing there, staring at her as she did her work. And soon enough, the door just disappeared entirely.

The moment that the door was gone, it was like my Little Bunny just stepped right on through to the other side without even looking back.

"Trinity!" I screamed her name as I went to follow her. However, even with the door gone, the magic threw be back. The others were right there with me, trying to rush forward.

"Trinity?"

"Trinity?"

"Queen Trinity?"

"Queen Trinity?"

Trinity?"

"My Queen?"

All six of the others, the three inside with me and the three outside who had been watching at the door, all rushed forward and tried to follow their queen. They were all thrown back and at a loss.

"Trinity!" I called after her, trying again and again to make it through the door. It was no use, though. She was on the other side and we couldn't make it to where she was. "TRINITY!" I screamed her name, hoping that she could hear me.
