1129 Chapter 114- Trinity – Two Sides of the Story (VOLUME 6)
~~
Trinity
~~
Just as I knew there would be, there were two different versions of the events being aired on the news and posted all over the internet. I was sure that even the newspapers tomorrow would be split. By that evening, when all the major news networks were airing, we had several TVs tuned in to different stations at the same time. They were all muted and the captions were on so that the sound didn’t drive us nuts.
On most of the stations, there was a story that was either the truth or close to it. Even the stations that were usually in the middle of the road, not taking one side or the other, were telling the truth about who it was that had saved the day, and who the real villains were. That was actually a good thing, so more people would hear the same story, the real story.
Still, there were always those that had their own agenda, or that just hated anything that wasn’t like them, just like the extremists. The station that was most affiliated with people like Fuller was telling a story where Reece and I were personally at the stadium, trying to eat people and blow them up with magic. The way that they told it, there were no bombs at all, just our explosive magic.
Some of the more conspiracy theorist sites online were using my pregnancy to sell things to the public. They claimed that in a fit of blood lust, I was trying to murder all the humans and sacrifice them to my baby so that it could be born healthy and strong. And that my baby, an abomination that was not natural to this world at all, was going to be the birth of the antichrist. They were siting a whole bunch of supposed disasters that had taken place since I had gotten pregnant, half of which happened before I was pregnant with Reeselynn, but the humans didn’t know how long a wolf pregnancy was, so that wasn’t their fault.
Honestly, if they knew that we were only pregnant for six months, those people would call the baby even more of an antichrist that was a sure sign that all the humans were doomed to die a blood death on the very day that I delivered the baby. Seriously, those people could get creative with their bullshit stories, but it was annoying that they were using the baby as their fuel now.
“So, they think that a baby born to you would be a devil baby?” Shane asked as he read the article that was projected on the wall next to one of the TVs. “Do they not realize that you have already given birth to seven children, and that this one is no different than the others?”
.....
“Well, you know, those kids of ours weren’t born, like the rest of us, they just appeared on the planet from outer space one day.” I rolled my eyes at another one of the conspiracy theories that people had about us.
“Right. And when was that supposed to be again? I forgot when and how we flew through the cosmos.” Shane laughed as he always did when these people’s imaginations showed the levels of depravity that they were willing to drop to.
“Yeah, I don’t remember it either. It must have been before we were all born. You know, back when the humans flew here in another mothership as well.”
“We’re all aliens! WHOO!” Shane jokingly cheered. “Anyway, at least things were settled easily enough earlier. It meant that there was not a lot of stress for you.”
“I wouldn’t say that.” Reece said as he stiffened next to me. “Had Trinity not barred me from joining her at the press release, I would have beaten that worthless asshole to a pulp.” He was currently grinding his left fist into his right palm, showing everyone just how he would pulverize him.
“And that is likely why she forbade you from going with her, my friend.” Dietrich clapped a hand to Reece’s shoulder and spoke in a soothing, if slightly amused, tone. “Trinity is trying to make sure that the humans see us as friends and allies, not people to be feared.”
“Yeah, well, I am sure that the majority of the human population would be happy if I ended Fuller, and others like him. They don’t deserve to live.”
“Reece.” I snapped at him and saw him look up at me sheepishly.
“Trinity, Little Bunny, he insulted you. He said such horrible things about you.”
“And I will live.” I told him flatly. “And, more importantly, it was all on film. Those that are our allies will air his tirade and show it in as negative a light as possible. I have faith in people like Lara Timmons, Elijah Dalton, and Harrington Lewis. They will tell the truth, and they will make sure that the majority of the humans in this country know that he is a monster. We just need to be patient, Reece. We can endure the insults. It’s much better to do that than to repair the damage from a violent outburst.”
“I know, Little Bunny, I really do. I just hate it when someone talks about you like that. And people like that,” he was pointing at the article about the impending demon baby, “they are already saying hurtful things about our baby.”
“Reeselynn won’t know anything about any of this. And when she is older, if she finds out that some morons thought that she was the antichrist, well then, we can dress her up as the devil for Halloween and all have a big laugh about it. We know the truth, Reece, we are the ones that can tell her what she needs to know. And I am not so weak spirited that the words of others will cut me and make me bleed. I know who and what I am, Reece, just like you do. And there are so many people in the world that agree with us as well.”
I saw the way that Reece was looking at me then. He was giving me a face that said he was defeated by my words, but that he was also proud of me. He knew that I had beaten him, and there was nothing else that he was able to say about it.
“Awe, look at how cute that is.” Shane joked as he looked at Reece’s face. “She can disarm him that easily. Should we try it too, guys?”
“Do it and die, sparkle fingers.”
“Hey, that is not a nice thing to say about my lightning magic.” Shane pretended to be hurt by his words. “I am offended by that, Reece.”
“Good.” The growled word was accompanied by Reece putting his arms around my waist. “I meant it to offend you, dumbass.”
“Rude.”
In the middle of their squabble, a message popped up on the computer that had been displayed on the wall next to the TV. It was a message from Mr. Doe, instructing us to log into a site with the credentials that he had given in the message.
The website was one that we had seen before, but we hadn’t thought to monitor at the moment. I think that there was something that Mr. Doe wanted us to see that was extremely urgent. So, doing as he wanted, I pulled up the site and logged in.
The moment that I was on the site, I was redirected to a video that was just starting over from the beginning. It had been a live broadcast, but now it was just a replay. I focused on what images there were, and the voices that were speaking.
There was one man that was visible, a normal looking Caucasian American man with nondescript features. The other person was completely blurred out. I could guess that his hair was light brown or sandy blond, but that was about all. Other than the fact that he was also Caucasian.
The man that was blurred had his voice altered, but not properly. There were times when he was speaking too fast and frenzied for the voice changer to keep up with him.
“This is just a truly heinous and monstrous act. Those monsters not only attacked all of those humans that were at the convention today, people that we do not agree with but are humans just the same. But they then went and killed one of my DOE members. We are a peaceful folk. And yes, we would have sought to end the event, but we weren’t out to murder anyone. Not anyone that has the right to share this planet with us.” His words were so contradictory that it was already giving me a headache. “We never would have done what they did, though. We would not have gone about it this way.”
“What did they do, Colonel?” The man that was not blurred out, the leader of this site, Jeffrey Packard, asked the Colonel in a breathless exhalation.
“They murdered him.” The Colonel’s hand must have pointed and the camera panned out.
I saw that they were in some sort of underground cave, something that was much like the place that Mr. Doe and Kirk had told us about. And lying there on the stone floor was a man with a bullet wound in his head.
“What the fuck!?” I spoke vehemently, but I wasn’t the only one.
“He was clearly killed there. Look at the puddle of blood. Does he think that people are stupid? He is showing the world the body of someone that he killed, and he’s blaming it on us!”
“Shh!” David shushed Shane as he tried to listen.
“Oh my goodness.” Packard said as he looked at the body. He was even kneeling next to it, his feet in the blood. “They murdered him by shooting him in the head. Those animals.”
“Fuck you.” Reece growled.
“I am seeking charges against them. They will be arrested. I have contacts. I will speak with them and have them arrested before the night is over.”
“Wait a minute.” Reece sat up a little straighter as he heard that voice, the Colonel’s non altered words. “I have heard that voice before.”
“I will do everything in my power to make sure that this Trinity Gray is charged and executed for this crime. She is a monster, and all of her people are just like her. They will pay. They will perish. I swear to you, I will have their heads for this.”
“ORSON!” Reece almost bellowed the word as he shot to his feet. “I am sure of it. That is Orson, the NSA agent that was behind all of this. He is the man that tried to expose us. The one that was investigating us. Trinity, the leader of the DOE, is a member of the NSA.” There was a small amount of fear and a shit ton of anger filling his eyes at that revelation. “I am sure of it.” He said before I had the chance to question his certainty.
“Well, we will have to double check to make sure, but if you are right, then he needs to be stopped. He has a lot of power in his position, and he could come after us before the others have a chance to see that he is lying.”
“I will look into this.” Rawlynne said as she stepped backward away from the wall and the video that was still playing in the background.
“I will give Dayton a call. He works for the NSA.” Reece said as he turned toward my desk. “Dammit, I never would have guessed that the DOE was coming at us with this kind of force, with a man like Orson leading them.”
“This just went from bad to worse.” Dietrich shook his head.
“If he is angry that his attack failed, it might make him step up his plans. He might not be willing to play his long game anymore.” Shawn added.
“Ya think?” Shane asked. “He sounds like he and reality had a falling out a long time ago. He is fucking nuts, with a capital F and N. Damn, this isn’t good.” Shane was shaking his head in disbelief, a move that we all unconsciously mimicked.
