Chapter 670 - 87- Trinity – Listening To Them (VOLUME 4)

~~

Trinity

~~

'You should have just done what they said.' The other me said with a slightly condescending tone in her voice as I sighed and thought about how I had found absolutely nothing during my search of the city.

"They didn't actually 'say' anything though." I was being a sarcastic bitch and I could just tell that that other me wasn't all that happy about it.

'You know what I meant.' She snapped at me. 

"Yes, I do. But I am feeling frustrated right now, so I wanted to do something to alleviate that frustration right now. Deal with it." I could practically hear the other me scoffing inside my head at that comment of mine.

'What are we going to be doing now, oh wise one? What are we going to do to get this show on the road?'

"Now, we will follow the little imp boys and see where they are going to take us. They seem to know a lot about this place so I am going to do what I should have done from the beginning. I am going to listen to them."

'Oh yay. Finally, some sense from the Goddess Queen.' The other me was clearly annoyed right now.

I ignored the annoyed inner being that had taken up residence inside of my head and bent down to look at the three little imp boys. I knelt before them and looked at them one at a time. They really, really did not look like imps at all. I don't know what it was that had made me think that they were imps to begin with. What had been wrong with me?

"Look, I am sorry that I didn't listen to you sooner. All I can say is that I am a silly and stubborn grown up that feels the need to do something they think is right before I listen to someone else. I hope you can forgive me." They all nodded right away and smiled at me. "Good."

These little boys were so sweet and excitable, just like Reece often was. They smiled the same way that he does too. Honestly, all three of them looked like nothing more than a child sized version of my loveable and sweet thick headed Fido.

"OK, now that I am done being a silly grown up, can we go to where you wanted to take me? Can you show me how to go lower into the underworld? I need to stop the bad lady before she gets to my world and hurts a lot of people. Will you help me?"

All I saw was three smiling faces. All I felt was three sets of tiny arms wrap themselves around my neck. These little boys were so connected with me that they were treating me like I really was their mother and with how emotional I was at the moment, how nostalgic I felt at the moment, feeling this love from them made me want to cry as I hugged them back. 

"OK boys, where are we going? Which way? You three have the lead now." They pulled away from me then and grabbed my hands. I could tell that they were eager to guide me. "I am coming. Don't pull so hard." I laughed at them. "Hmm. If we're going to be together for a while, I should give you names, what do you think?" I saw how bright their eyes got at that idea.

I had to put some thought into this. These were names that we were talking about. And I hadn't actually picked the names for my kids yet. Reece had done that for us both times that we had our children. This was going to be the first time that I actually named someone.

I was excited and scared at the same time. I didn't want to mess up and give them names that no one liked, especially them. I wanted them to be good names, names that they could make their own. Yet, I was struggling with it. 

"I don't know how good these names will be, but I hope you like them. I have some that I think are good for triplets like you three. How about you, the one that seems to be the oldest and bossiest, you can be Zachary. You, the easy going middle one can be Zander. And you, you seem to be the youngest, you can be Zayden."

All three boys, who had been pulling me down the road and out of town, stopped to jump for joy. All three of them were smiling and I could see that they were pointing at each other and communicating with each other in some way that I didn't know. They were learning their names and bragging about them to each other, but I couldn't hear it. I knew what it was, it's just that I couldn't hear the sounds of it all.

"Alright, now that you have your names, how about we continue on our way again?" They were all for that one too. These three were really sweet and easy going kids. That was a relief. I knew that little boys of this age could be rowdy and rough. Reagan hadn't been, and these three weren't. Maybe that was just a rumor about boys that wasn't true.

Right now, all I knew was that these three little boys needed me, and I needed them. We were working together to help each other out.

As I got closer to the edge of town, I started to feel uneasy about something. And so did the boys. We were all slowing down as we listened to what sounded like someone wailing in the distance.

"What in the heck is that?" As I asked that, all three of the boys hid behind me and started to shiver like they were terrified. There shouldn't be anything bad or evil in this place. It was just a limbo for the people that were too clingy to the past to move on.. So no matter what it was, I was sure that it was nothing to be scared of.
