Trinity's Blood - authoroffantasy- Faire Lucas (comprehension books txt) 📗

surrender for the family…for her. But then in the back of my soul I felt this tug that seemed to pour the words “you have to survive” and I backed away into the hotel, clearly she couldn’t fight me in public.

“Trinity, don’t make me fight in front of people, I won’t be able to stop myself.”

“Go away, Puppet, I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“Neither I of you, but we have to end it before we both go insane and want the other’s blood spread.”

“Puppet, can’t we just stop. Maybe we can live in peace together, I mean, who has ever tried before? We can do this!”

“No, Trinity, we can’t.”

“I just found out my parents were werewolves, Puppet, werewolves! Just please, not here and now, I feel so alone…so lost in the world. I can’t spare to lose you right now.”

Her face sad with pity was nodding as she turned around on her heels.

“Tomorrow you will come home and only there shall it end where it all started. Do not hide from me, we are now bonded, I will be able to find you.”

“Trust me, by then, I’ll be homesick and miss my sister.”

“Let us not think of each other like sisters, anymore.”

“Why?”

“Because when we do fight, at least the other can say she didn’t kill her sister but a worthy opponent.”

Puppet ran off and I found myself circled by night, found little light in my path ahead. If I was to fight Puppet, who knows what would happen? We both had the same power didn’t we? I mean I haven’t even thought of using it. As I walked over to one of the homeless people standing on the side of the street, I asked him if I could do a magic trick where I would make him do something he would never do in his life. Perhaps act like an alien with a chicken bark. Or something of the sort, at least he agreed if I gave him money which I handed five dollars over for.

“Alright, woman, hurry up now I ain’t got all day.”

“Ok…just look into my eyes and empty your mind.”

He looked up into my eyes, his scraggly beard, and his leathery skin almost made me laugh because strangely it suited him very well. As I kept concentrating, finding nothing in return, I was about to explode. Then at last I gave up and thanked him for at least letting me try. Rallies were taking place all over New York, whether it was a political thing or perhaps some childish excuse to have fun, it didn’t matter though because all I heard was Puppet’s last words to me. At least…I wouldn’t have to say I killed my sister…but a worthy opponent. Maybe there was something there, within her, that wanted me back and couldn’t handle this as much as I couldn’t but as of right now only time could tell. I boarded a plane after the next few hours and ended up at the mansion instead of the Verne’s. I would go and give Olive and Lucie one last hug if I was to die tomorrow.

“Miss Trinity!”

“Oh, Lucie, stop fooling around that girl ain’t coming back.”

“Excuse me Olive, but I believe Lucie has got it right, I’m Trinity.”

“Trinity!”

Both ran up to me and gave me bear hugs and I laughed as they asked me all about where I had gone and then they shushed as they began to realize that my three months were basically up.

“Oh and guess what! I found a doctor in New York, don’t ask why I was there, and they healed my coughing. I’m through with tuberculoses! Now and forever!”

Even before I ended what was begin said they were jumping up and down with joy. I even did a few jumps myself, proud that the cough was gone and it could never get past my vampire genes, and I was as good as any other teenager out there who could do things that I wished to do all these years. Just a minor setback which was, I could never go out in daytime.

“Lucie, Olive, tell me what have the others been doing this whole time since I was gone I mean, you had no people to work for?”

“Well actually we did, your grandmother came over and she’s gone now but she said if we ever saw you to straighten your shoulders, you’d might have them loose like right now.”

“That’s grandma alright.”

We bellowed hearty laughs then sat down as we all caught up, me leaving out the vampire details and werewolves, and just telling them of how it was to be free. They, of course, were happy for me and smiling as I told them all of these great things I was able to feel and do. How it was like not to be trapped, while they told me everything that had been going on there. All of the maids and nurses, before my grandmother arrived, had fun each night although they missed me. Even though most of them treated me so rudely and mean, they were just doing it to not get attached for it would hurt if one day they checked on me and I was dead. I smiled and hugged Lucie and Olive once more before I stood up and bid them a farewell, saying I was to return to the Verne’s tomorrow and I should get rest now.

“Wake up Trinity, it’s getting dark and your still asleep.”

“Wake me up at six or whenever it is dark.”

“Why?”

“Just please, Lucie.”

“Alright miss.”

“Thank you…for everything.”

“And what about me?”

“Thank you for everything too Olive, now can I go back to sleep?”

They laughed and nodded as I turned once more over in the dark room, they had been there to make sure all was well, and I loved them for it. I fell asleep once more and this time I dreamt of Kendrew, he was walking down this long narrow path and on his right were his fellow Night Council members who were screaming something like “kill her” or “leave her for us” but then on his left it was happy and peaceful. And there, in the middle, was me with my arms wide open to him…I was seeing it from his eyes looking at me with my locks blowing in the winds and my gentle voice calling him…he was beckoned and he did go to me, embraced in my hug. He stayed there in my arms until finally I could feel this pain in my chest and he turned around to see that Tristian had shoved a knife into his stomach and was laughing so evilly that it scared me. Finally, to make it worse, Tristian came over to my side and then I saw myself kiss him on the lips hard and passionately while Kendrew lay there dying away.

“Wake up miss! It’s dark out!”

I jumped up and screamed but quickly quieted down as Lucie and Olive were watching me with worried eyes.

“Sorry, side effects were nightmares…guess I haven’t gotten over large spiders…”

They laughed and helped me chose an outfit then set me off in the direction of the Verne’s house. Well this will be fun. My truck, which I borrowed from the house, pulled up on the lot of the Verne’s and I could feel the tension in the air as I waited for a second, half expecting them to run out and give me hugs and kisses saying how much they missed me, half expecting Puppet to come out and kill me and while I was dying I would hear them say “such a pity.”While I walked slowly to the door, I could see and hear all of them inside, they had been waiting for me. I knocked on the door a couple of times and then heard Sally’s light footsteps come and unlock it.

“It’s nice of you to have joined us this evening, Trinity.”

“Sally, why are you talking like that…”

“Please hurry inside so we can get started.”

“…alright.”

I headed inside, Sally close behind, and then came to an abrupt stop as I saw Puppet lying down on the floor bleeding to death. That was when the screams and panicking came; I rushed over to her side and cried as I tried to save her life, hearing the others talk quietly about me. Not once did Tristian say anything.

“Who…did this to her?!”

William came up beside me and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down but I wouldn’t have it.

“WHO?!”

They all turned to Tristian as he hung his head. I backed away in disbelief, muttering no over and over repeatedly.

“You?”

“Trinity you don’t understand, she would’ve killed you.”

“How could you? That fight was between us!”

“She kept speaking of how she would slash your throat and then she said yesterday that you weren’t even her sister once she got back home. I thought she had…murdered you.”

“Clearly not! Your own sister! Your own blood sister!”

“I didn’t want to, Trinity, but you are the love of my life and how could I go through these years pretending she wasn’t a killer and didn’t murder you even though she didn’t she would have.”

“I don’t give a crap, she’s a person…she’s my best friend and I love her like a sister! I would’ve died today, happy that your family was back together but now…how could it ever be?”

Sally started to wail and Reese went off with her as she spied me over her dead sister’s body, frowning and filled with hatred towards me. Then I thought of something, as if that hatred was exactly what I needed in order to save Puppet.

“Give me the vampire handbook.”

“Trinity…”

“No, Tristian, bring it to me now!”

He hurried off and ran back to me, kneeling before his victim, before his sister. I leafed through the pages and came upon the page where I had learned about the dream and Kendrew, but now wasn’t the time and besides there was a new dream I wasn’t understanding now about him. As I came to page 116 I smiled in relief and read aloud to everybody in the room.

“Chapter 20, A Vampire’s Soul. If and when another vampire bitten by the same sex wishes to bring back the other then they must do the following without defiance. First the vampire will have to draw blood from themselves and the dead and join blood together. As the blood enters the other vampire, the dead, then shall rise again but in the process the vampire who had brought the dead back shall die almost entirely if not, they might have a 99.9% chance of turning back to human.”

“No, Trinity, I won’t lose you again!”

“I don’t care, Tristian, now move out of the way…”

Just then the door slammed open and Kendrew walked in, by himself for the first time. He looked down at me with a small hint of a smile filled with grief. I looked up in amazement but saddened as he bent down beside me, closer than Tristian.

“I shall do this…”

“No, Kendrew, this is for me to do…”

Right then he looked up into my eyes, gave me a brief kiss and smiled as he kissed my forehead.

“I did this to you.
