Chapter 673 - 90- Trinity – Tiny Saviors (VOLUME 4)

Trinity

I wasn't usually taken by surprise like this, especially when fighting someone. I just didn't expect that this woman, this soul, was going to attack me like this. I mean, I had been told that the people here were not evil.
"What the hell is going on! You said they were harmless."
'To be fair, I never said they were harmless. Even good people can do bad things in desperate times. This woman is desperate to stay here and watch the place where her children were. She is panicking.'
"Like that helps me at all!" I screamed at her. "I need to stop this woman. And then, I need to figure out if I should forcibly send her to her afterlife or not."
I was grappling with the woman, her fingers reaching toward my throat, as I argued with myself. I don't know what the scene actually looked like, but the thought in my head invoked a pretty comical image.
This wasn't the time to be laughing though. Especially since I felt the woman's nails scrape my face and draw blood. I didn't know what effects this underworld would have now that it had drawn blood from me. Also, how the hell did she draw blood from me when I was nothing more than a metaphysical spirit roaming around down here? That made no sense to me at all.
"Get off of me!" I grunted in frustration as I tried to move the woman away from me. The more I fought her though, the stronger she became.
'Spirits, especially angry ones, are very strong. You need to get away from her because you most likely will not be able to overpower her.' The other me added as if this was some kind of practical lesson in fighting or something.
"Can't you see that I am trying to get away from her!?" I snapped at her. "I am having a little bit of trouble here."
'I am just giving you the advice that I can. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help.'
The moment that she said that, I heard the sound of screaming. The screaming was done in small little voices, and the screams were completely devoid of any words. These sounds that I was hearing were incomprehensible but fully understood.
The three little boys, Zachary, Zander, and Zayden were screaming. It sounded to me like they were scared, frustrated, and angry all at the same time. I wanted to turn my head to look at them. I wanted to see what was happening to them. Did Hekate send someone after them? Were they hurt? Were they in danger?
I wanted so badly to see them, to check on them, but I couldn't. I needed to focus on the fight at hand. Literally, since my hands were on the woman's shoulders, pushing her back and away from me.
"Run and hide if you need to. Don't stay here and watch this. Protect yourselves." I didn't want those sweet little boys to get hurt. I didn't want to see them in any danger when they clearly wanted me to stay away from this screaming woman. This woman, who by the way, was still screaming non stop in my face.
"DON'T TAKE MY BABIES AWAY FROM ME! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" She was stuck on that one in an endless loop now.
The screaming of the boys didn't lessen at all. It wasn't moving away from us. Instead, it was getting closer to me and the angry woman.
"What are you doing?" I was starting to panic as I saw the closest little boy, Zayden, out of the corner of my eyes. "It's not safe."
"M..mm..mmeh..mmeh..mom…mommy!" The boy struggled to use his voice and speak, it was like he had never done it before and he didn't know how talking worked. He wasn't the only one either.
"Mm..mmeh..mmo..mmo..mmomm..mom..mommy!" Zander was right behind him, using his words for the first time as well.
"M..m..mm..meh..mom..momm..mommy!" I literally started to cry at hearing these boys call me Mommy. It melted my heart and the tears were obscuring my vision.
That was bad though, since I could barely see now. Dammit! I shouldn't be getting so emotional right now. I shouldn't be focusing on that.
"M..m..mommy!"
"Mm..mm..mommy!"
"M..mm..mo..mommy!" At that moment, with one more call for me, the three boys grabbed a hold of the sorrow filled woman. She started to move away from me, being pulled back bit by bit with the way that the boys were holding onto her.
"L..l..leave m..m..mo..mom..mommy l..l..l..lone!" Zayden was crying but seemed to be pulling on the woman's arm as hard as he could.
"L..l..l..let g..g..go m..m..mom..mommy n..n..no..now!"
"B..b..bad l..la..lady n..n..no t..to..tou..touch m..mo..mom..mommy!" Zachary seemed to be the most angry at the moment. Zander and Zayden were more scared and sad but Zachary seemed truly pissed off right now.
The three of them were trying to help me, and that made me happy. Not to mention, it was working too. The three of them were pulling the angry woman back and allowed me to get a better hold of her.
I knew that they couldn't handle her alone though, so I needed to do something, and fast. I needed to help this woman, whether she wanted it or not. She would be happier if she could move on.
"Listen to me." I said, putting my hand on the woman's forehead. I felt comfortable doing this only because the three little boys were pulling her away from me. I was given a little more leeway that allowed me to move more. "You will find peace when you move on. You will not have a life filled with sorrow."
I wanted her to have an afterlife where she could watch over her children. I wanted her to have the only thing that she ever really wanted, peace and love.
I thought of those things, the way that I wanted her afterlife to look like, something that I thought would bring her peace. I felt the magic in me stirring as I did so. The life I envisioned for her was coming into existence. Now I just needed to make her see it. I just needed to make her accept it.
"See this!? Do you see where you could be? Go! Go there. Look after them and love them. Wait for them there."
Finally, the woman was able to see what she was missing. Finally, she stopped screaming and I saw a smile on her face.
It was quicker this time than it had been in any of the previous ones. She disappeared and it was just me and the three little boys left behind.
Those three little boys also fell backward and landed on their bottoms when the woman disappeared. They had helped me and now that the danger was gone, they were just sitting there, confused and uncertain.
"Don't worry. Everything is alright.." I held my arms out toward them and was rewarded with another hug from all three of them."
