Trinity

I watched as the men started to walk away. Rhinum turned to look back at me several times as if he was the most upset about leaving us. I could feel the sorrow and pain that was coursing through him.
I felt a tear stream down my cheek before they disappeared from sight. It was as if they had just faded away to nothing, which was what they were now. They had been gone for so long that there was nothing left but memories.
"Ríon Trinity, I think there is one more thing that you want from me, isn't there?" It was like the Goddess could read the truth in either my mind or my heart.
"You have given me much already, Danu, I cannot possibly ask for more." My voice cracked, my heart ached, and the pain filled me at the very thought of what it was that I wanted.
"You will never know if you do not ask me, child. You may be Ríon Trinity now, but there was a time in your life that you were just a normal person, and there was something you wanted more than anything else. And seeing these two that have moved on already has made you want that again, has it not?"
"It had, Danu. But I do not know if it is possible."
"It is, child, it is."
Danu smiled and stepped to the side. There was another cloaked figure behind her. This figure was smaller than the last two and very clearly a female. I felt the breath catch in my throat. I didn't know if she brought me who I wanted to see or not, but the possibility was enough to send my heart into a frenzy.
The cloaked woman walked forward slowly. It was like she was more nervous than I was. When she was right in front of me, standing at least a couple inches taller than me, she lowered her hood.
I saw her dark, rich brown hair, the soft, warm, light brown of her eyes, and the beautiful heart shaped face that I had seen in pictures several times before. It was my mother.
"Trinity?" Her smile was calm but her voice shook. "My baby, Trinity, is all grown up now." The tears were flowing from her eyes as she looked at me.
"You're my m..m..m..m..mother?" I felt like I couldn't get the word out. It had stuck in my throat and refused to move.
"Yes, Trinity, I am your mother. I know that you see Wesley and Eve as your mom and dad now, and I am happy about that. I couldn't be there for you so my brother stepped up and took my place. I couldn't be happier about that. And I am sorry for what happened all those years ago." My heart was shattering. I was seeing the one person I had no memories of. I was seeing the woman who left me, but loved me. I didn't know what to feel.
"Why? Why did you leave?"
"I didn't have much of a choice. Edmond had intended for me to forget everything, and for a while I did. When I remembered though, the spell that he put on me started to eat away at me from the inside out. It was killing me."
"So, you didn't kill y..y..y..yours..s..s..self?" I sobbed the last word, unable to stop myself.
"No, Trinity, I didn't kill myself. The spell made it look like it since it was untraceable by wolves, but I didn't leave you on purpose. I wanted to be there for you. I wanted to protect you. I wanted to make sure that Edmond didn't get to you, but I wasn't able to. I am sorry, Trinity. I am sorry that I wasn't strong enough to fight the spell. I..I am s..s..so sorry that I..I was so w..w..weak." She was sobbing now, just the same as me.
At that moment, I threw my arms around her, hugging her close to me. I could feel her shaking from the sobs that were wracking through her.
"I am s..s..sorry, baby." She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me back.
"It's OK, Mom. I forgive you. You're not weak. You did everything you could. I'm sorry that I blamed you. I am so sorry. I love you."
"Oh Trinity, I love you too. I love you too. I love you so much, I always have. Even when I was scared about Edmond coming back for me, and even though you were half his, I knew that you were special, and I loved you from the beginning. I love you so much."
We hugged and cried like that for several minutes, until it felt like I had no tears left to cry. When Mom pulled away she looked me in the eyes and cupped my face in her hands.
"You're so beautiful." With that she kissed my head softly. "Will you pass along a couple messages for me?" She looked nervous, like she thought I would say no.
"Yes." I nodded immediately, there was no reason to say no.
"Tell Wesley that he was the best brother I could have asked for. And tell Dad that I loved him so much, and that I am sorry I never told him who took me even when my memories did finally come back. Tell him I am sorry that I caused so many problems, and I don't blame him for anything."
"I will, Mom. I will tell them."
She smiled at me and walked away, looking over her shoulder like Rhinum had. After a few moments she disappeared as well. One second she was there, the next she was gone. The ache in my heart was still there, but it was different now. I had finally spoken to my mother for the first time ever. This was something that I used to want all the time as a child, and now that I was a grown woman with a family of my own, I finally got it.
"This is where I leave you as well, Ríon Trinity, you and Rí Reece will return now. Please heed all the warnings you have been given and just know that I appreciate your assistance. Thank you, both of you."
Danu walked away and faded like the others had. Before I even had a chance to look at Reece standing next to me I was surrounded by darkness, and I could feel the bed that I was laying in beneath me.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Reece laying next to me, staring at me with a look of confusion.
"If she could get us from point A to point B like that, why the fuck did we have to fall through the fucking heavens on the way there. I mean, she made me land on the rocks for crying out loud." I just laughed at him. His reaction was so funny that it broke the tension and the sorrow that had been there at the very end of the meeting with Danu.
