Chapter 610 - 27- Split (VOLUME 4)
Reece – Why Little Bunny?
~~
Reece
~~
I was just sitting there next to my Little Bunny while I held her hand in mine. I couldn't believe what was happening. Should I have insisted that she see Griffin? Should I have called up Juniper to see if she could have helped my wife? What could I have done to prevent this from happening? What was I supposed to do now? And how long was she going to be like this?
I couldn't answer those questions and that was what hurt the most.
"Why didn't you talk to me, Trinity? Why didn't you tell me about all of this? Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant? How come you kept all of this a secret from me?" I felt the tears building in the back of my eyes, but I forced them away. I wasn't going to cry, not yet. I wouldn't show that weakness when there were other people coming in soon.
"I'll be here, waiting for you, Trinity, so wake up soon. We have a lot to talk about. And I don't think you actually want Griffin to run all those tests on you. He will have you in so many medical machines that it isn't even funny. And I know that you don't want anyone else to find out what is going on with you. So, come on, don't do this, don't stay asleep. It's time to wake up. You've been asleep for a long time already. If you're still tired you can take another nap later, but I think it's time to wake up now. Please, Trinity, wake up. Please, baby."
The tears that I had been trying so hard to fight off finally started to roll down my cheeks. I couldn't fight them anymore. I just wanted my Little Bunny to wake up. I just wanted to see her eyes open up and to know that she was OK.
"I love you, baby. I love you so much, Trinity. Please don't leave me here like this. I need you. I can't live without you. You know that, don't you?"
I kicked off my shoes and climbed into the bed with my Little Bunny. I snuggled up to her side and pulled her against me. Maybe she just needed to be close to me. Maybe she couldn't wake up because we hadn't been close for so long.
OK, that probably wasn't it, but I could hope, right? I would do anything that I could to wake her up, and this was just the first part of it. Not to mention, it comforted me to hold her like this.
Trinity – Exploring The World Of Gray
~~
Trinity
~~
OK, was this supposed to be some play on our last name or something? I was in my castle that was named after us, Castle Gray, and everything in it was gray. Even I was gray. It seriously looked like I was inside of some TV show that had aired back in the fifties and sixties. There was no color at all.
What the hell was going on here? What was that door? Where am I? And where the hell did those damn little imps go? They were the reason that I had come to this door in the first place.
Then again, the way that voice spoke after I stopped following it made it clear that I shouldn't have been following it either. So, basically, I guess I did something really stupid and followed two evil things out of my room.
OK, I didn't follow the imps out of my room, but I did abandon the voice because of those adorable little imps.
NO, they are not cute. They were little devils. I don't care how much they looked like children at the end of it all, they were imps. They were definitely not identical boys that were just running around and showing me the way to this trap.
And I don't even want to think about the fact that those little children, I mean imps, looked like Reece. That was impossible. They couldn't have looked like Reece at all. That would mean that I suspect Reece of doing something to me, right? I mean, why else would I imagine those little childlike figures with features that reminded me of my husband?
No, I needed to put those thoughts out of my head. They weren't good for me at all. I needed to forget all about that for right now so I could start to find my way out of here. If I didn't find a door out of here, then I was going to be stuck in this place for way too long.
I stopped thinking about the voice and the imps. I stopped thinking anything that didn't have to do with getting out of here and getting back home. Though, I will admit one thing. While here, I haven't felt as tired as I was before. I don't feel quite as exhausted anymore.
Our castle was huge, so it was going to take me forever to search it and find out where to go next. Oh well, I would do what I needed to do. I was going to get out of here and go home before Reece got home.
Well, it was my plan to find the exit anyway. But there was something that was already starting to hold me up. And that was the fact that it was extremely difficult to move in this place. It started to feel like I was moving through water. No, that isn't right. That's too easy. This felt worse than that fog when I was in the dark realm of the Fae. This felt like the entire hallway was filled with syrup or something similar to that.
It was funny if you think about it. This place hadn't been this hard to move around in until after the door was closed. No actually, that isn't right, it wasn't like this until after I decided to do something about being stuck here. Was this place trying to keep me here? Is that what was going on? Is that what was happening right now?
The more that I pressed on the more frustrated that I became.
"UGH! DAMMIT!" After what felt like hours, I roared the words to the empty hallway around me when I decided to just stop moving and sit on the floor. Why does this have to be so hard?
"UGH!" I grunted in frustration again. "Wait a minute." I snapped at myself. "Why the hell am I doing this? I could just open a door back home. Sometimes, I'm so stupid."
I stood and raised my arms until they were right in front of me. That took a long time too, since it was so hard to move in this place. When I was in the right position and standing where I needed to be, I started to pull my magic to me and think about the door home that I wanted to make.
Well, I thought I was pulling my magic toward me. Though, no matter when I was thinking, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't pull the magic to me. I felt like all of my magic was gone or something.
"HOW!?" I yelled the words but there was no one around to hear me. "What is going on? Not only am I in black and white, but I don't have any of my magic? How is that even possible?"
I could feel my heart pounding and the fear coursing throughout my entire body. I hadn't been this scared in a long time. I also hadn't been this powerless in years.
"Wait? I..i..if I don't have my magic, does that mean that I don't have my wolf either?" I asked myself, my voice was the only thing aside from my footsteps that I had heard in hours. "Well, there's nothing left to do but try and shift." And of course, that didn't work. So now I knew that I was stuck here with no magic and no wolf. It was just me. And I still needed to find that door that would get me out of here. And to top it all off, it felt like it took me ten minutes to walk three feet. UGH! This was like literal hell right now.
'You are getting closer, Trinity. You are getting closer to stopping her. You just need to keep going. You need to keep moving.'
"OH GREAT!" I threw my hands into the air in frustration. "That followed me too." Stupid fucking voice. It was still with me and as annoying as ever. I was just glad that I was getting so good at blocking it out.. If I wasn't, then this was going to be a torturous walk.
