I had hoped that the DOE would be caught before anything had happened. I had hoped that keeping the FBI out of the stadium would make that happen. No offense to Rawlynne and Jackson, or any of their other agents, but they stuck out like sore thumbs. And the same went for the local police. Devon’s men were good at their jobs, but they screamed the word cop when you looked at them. And I didn’t want to set off the DOE before they could be caught. No one knew what types of bombs they were bringing because they had been making several new ones at the headquarters.
I guess that, in a way, things hadn’t gone too bad. There hadn’t been any civilian casualties or anything like that. The only injury that had been received by anyone was to one of my men. Kiernan had been very close to one of the bombs when it exploded. And the reason for that was because he had saved a group of humans that were the intended target.
The DOE members were captured as well. Well, almost all of them were. From what I had been told, only one of them had managed to get away and that was because there was a small gap in the perimeter that had been set up. The men that were patrolling the area were walking in their lines around the area, but at different rates of speed, so they both had their backs turned when he slipped past them.
The man continued to run with Andrew and now the two guards that were chasing him. The man was apparently very fast for a human, but the only reason they had actually gotten away from them, was because he had slipped onto a city bus that was at a corner nearby. By the time that they managed to stop the bus, needing police cars to flag it down, the man had already gotten off. The bus had literally made one stop before it was flagged down and stopped for inspection. That was all it took. The human had disappeared into the city.
I had men trying to track down his scent, but he was likely moving toward the headquarters already. He wasn’t going to be found, not in time. I gave up on him and decided to focus on the fact that we had gotten fourteen out of the fifteen.
The damage to the stadium was minimal as well. That was good. With the damage that they had sustained the day of the reveal, I didn’t want them to close down for more than they needed to. Considering that all the damage that they had sustained was, in a way, my fault.
.....
Reece and I had done all that we could to help the stadium and its staff during the time that they were under repair. We paid for the repairs, but on top of that, we paid the salaries of all the staff that were forced to miss work during that time. I didn’t want their lives to be affected by the chaos that had started because of me wanting to reveal us to the world.
When I arrived on the scene at the stadium, just minutes after Griffin had gotten there to help Kiernan, I saw that things were fully under control. There was little that I could do, aside from scolding Ilana and Rowan.
“Ilana Summer Green and Rowan Winter Green, what the hell are you two doing here?” I had narrowed my eyes at them. I was their ‘aunt’ and their godmother. And on top of that, I was the Luna, the Queen, and just about anything other than their parents that would have authority over them.
“A..A..A..Aunt Trinity!?” They stuttered together as they practically trembled in fear at my tone and words.
“Don’t Aunt Trinity me. What are you two doing here? You both know that you are not supposed to be in this part of the city today. I had made it a point to warn all of you about that fact, but you didn’t listen to me, did you?”
“No, we didn’t Aunt Trinity.” Ilana lowered her head in shame.
“I am sorry, Aunt Trinity. It is my fault. I asked Ilana to come with me.”
“And why did you want to come here in the first place?” I used a stern tone as I asked them this.
“I..I was feeling upset and rebellious. I know that is no excuse, Aunt Trinity, and I am sorry.” Rowan was looking more apologetic than I had ever seen him before.
“Why, though?” I asked again, this time my tone was a little more soft than it had been a moment before.
“W..well, I am worried about my parents. I felt left out with everything that had been happening lately. Ilana and I haven’t had much of a role in what is going on. I know that is our own fault, but I just didn’t want to feel left out anymore. I..I wanted to be able to do something. And well, I..I thought that the attack was just something that you all thought was possible, not a guarantee. I am sorry. We were wrong.”
“You know Rowan, if you guys want to be given more responsibility in all that is happening, try being a little more mature. Pulling stunts like this are going to make people not trust you.”

“We understand.” They spoke in unison, their heads bowed and their eyes averted. They truly did understand what it was that I had meant.
“Do better from now on. That is all that I ask of you.” I sighed and let the scolding, that didn’t feel much like a scolding, end at that. There were other things that required my attention.
As much as I wanted to take an active role in all that was going on, I wasn’t allowed to. Not only because I was a Queen that shouldn’t ‘get dirty’ but because I was pregnant, and I was due in a matter of weeks. In all honesty, I could have the baby at any minute, so Reece was following me around like a worrywart that expected me to explode at any moment. I truly did love that man with all of my heart. Worrywart and all.
Knowing that there was little that I could do at the moment, I decided that I should issue the first press release on the events that took place today. The reporters had started to arrive just moments after the FBI and police were on the scene, having heard the calls come over the scanners that they listened to when in search of a story.
I knew that there were going to be reporters that were pro super naturals, and those that were against us. There would also be those that were on the fence. When I stepped outside and toward the gathered press hounds, I saw a familiar face that was in the front and waiting for me. Lana was with her camera man and prepared to provide our statement to the public.
I was going to treat this statement as more of a press conference. I knew that the reporters would have questions and want to know about what had happened. They would want to know how and why we were here so quickly, and what it was that we had expected to happen. I had prepared for this in advance, so I wasn’t worried about it at all.
“Can I have your attention, please?” I called out to the reporters, even though they were already all focused on me. This was to show them that I didn’t presume to hold their interest so much. “I know that you are all curious about what happened here today, so I would like to be the first to issue a statement, on behalf of my people.”
“You are not a member of law enforcement, Mrs. Gray.” A man with an angry sneer called out to me. I had never seen him before, but I knew that he was anti super naturals.
“I am sorry, Sir, I do not know who you are.” I spoke calmly as I looked at him.
“My name is Nicholas Fuller, I run a true news podcast that airs daily, and I also have a website where people could go to learn the truth about the world. I work in association with Jeffrey Packard, and I will not hide anything that you say from my listeners.”
“I would never ask you to. I only wish to get as much truth out there as possible. And you are right about what you said, Mr. Fuller. I am not a member of law enforcement. However, I am the leader of my community, so I can issue a statement on their behalf.”
Some mumbling followed what I had to say, several people seemed to jot things down in their notepads, though I had said nothing of note just yet. They were all coming to their own conclusions already, and that was to be expected.
“Now, you all have heard some of the details already. Men were seen with bombs inside the stadium during a convention that was being held. This was a pro super naturals event that was being held for other humans that support my people. The event was peaceful and hurt no one.”
“If it was peaceful, then why did your people bomb them?” Fuller asked with another sneer, causing several people to start writing again.
“I assure you, Mr. Fuller, we did not attack this group.”
“Then why were you here?” Another man called from the back, but I could not see his face because he was hidden behind the others.
“We were aware of this event in advance. My people were here undercover to offer protection to the attendees of the event today.”
“Why did you feel the need to offer protection?” Lara asked in an eager and accepting voice. She was helping to advance the correct information.
“Several times the members of extremist groups, such as the DOE and their ilk, have talked about the people that support the nonhumans. They have said that people like them need to be killed just the same as my people. We feared that extremist groups such as those would target an event that was being held by those supporters. We didn’t wish for anyone to be hurt, so we decided to protect them in the shadows.”
“That is very honorable of you.” Lara offered, but Fuller spoke up almost immediately afterwards.
“If you were doing something good, then you would not have hidden it from them. You would have had no reason to do the ‘protecting’ from the shadows.”
“Respectfully, Mr. Fuller, I disagree. You see, this convention was for the humans to enjoy themselves. If they knew that we were there among them, it would have caused disorder and thrown off the schedule that so many people worked hard to prepare. We wanted to make sure that they all got to enjoy their event with no issue at all. That was our hope.”
“So, what changed your minds? Why did your monsters attack the humans that were here?” Fuller just wouldn’t stop blaming me, but this was expected.
“Again, Mr. Fuller, we did not attack them. In fact, one of my men was injured as he protected a group of humans who had been in danger. A member of the DOE had thrown a backpack bomb at them and intended to kill them. The man intercepted the bomb and was injured in the resulting explosion. And I am happy to report that he will make a full recovery, and the damage to the facility was minimal. I will be paying for all repairs as well.”
“Of course you will.” Fuller sneered. “You think that the world will accept you because of your money.”
“No, I do not expect that, Mr. Fuller. I just feel bad that the stadium was attacked and damaged yet again. They do not deserve to have that happen because others have hate in their hearts.”
“Hate? Don’t you mean fear? You are monsters that are out to murder the human population.” Fuller was still going on and on about this topic. I knew that I should stop him, put an end to his tirade and rantings, but I didn’t.
In all honesty, I thought that if Fuller kept talking about these things, spewing the hate that he had inside of him, he would lose his credibility with the other reporters and the world in general. Especially after the truth of what happened was released later. I knew that there had been humans that filmed a lot of the events, and there was the CCTV footage from the stadium itself. There was more than enough proof that people would leak and sell to the press to prove that the super naturals had done nothing wrong. And letting Fuller dig his own grave would only help us out in the long run. Still, his ranting and raving lasted way longer than I had anticipated it to. He was definitely long winded, and full of nothing but a lot of hot air..
