Trinity of Time

Chapter 10: Trinity's Past

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was late night, and the moon was shown brightly in the dark sky. Kairi found Trinity on the paupou tree, looking at the dark water. Kairi walked up, and sat next to Trinity.

They sat there for a few minutes, just taking in the sweet warm breeze and the smell of the sea. It was beautiful night, everything was still, and a light wind spread across the island.

"Trinity?" Kairi suddenly asked. Trinity looked at Kairi. "Yeah?" she answered.

"What were you going to tell me earlier today? Before Selphie came?" Kairi looked at Trinity and saw Trinity look away. Trinity had confusion in her eyes, and she didn't say anything for a few seconds. Kairi waited patiently.

"Well," Trinity said, "I'm not sure if I should say it. I mean, I don't want you to hate me or it."

"I could never hate you! You're one of my best friends, and I don't want to end that."

Trinity looked at Kairi. "Really?"

Kairi gave Trinity a reassuring smile, "Of course."

Trinity sighed, and looked back out at the sea. "Well, I'm really not like you and everybody else. I'm kind of...different, in a way."

Kairi waited for what Trinity was going to say.

"This is hard to say but..." Trinity paused. "Well, you may not believe me, but I can...can... well I can see the past, present, and future." Trinity finished those last few words rather quickly. Trinity kept her gaze away.

"You-you can?" Kairi asked, amazed. Was this the truth?

"Well yeah. That's why my name is Trinity. On trinity signs, they have three stars. In my name, those three stars mean the past, present, and future for me. So I can see everything that did or will happen. I know you may think I'm strange now but-"

"Oh, I don't! I mean, it's really cool that you can see the past, present, and future! I will never hate you for that." Trinity looked at Kairi, smiling.

"Really?" Trinity asked, amazement in her voice.

Kairi smiled back, "No, I will never hate you for being psychic or whatever it's called." Kairi paused then asked, "But why did you think I would hate you?" worry was in Kairi's voice.

Trinity's smile faded. "Well, remember of how I told you that everyone was afraid of me?" Kairi nodded. "It's because everyone in my town thought I was a freak. They all hated me, and stayed away from me. Even my own mother and father. My sister was the only thing that was nice to me in my life. But when she disappeared, I was left alone. Nobody wanted me, especially my mother and father." A tear escaped from Trinity's eye.

Curiously, Kairi asked, "Do you know what happened to her?"

Trinity shook her head. "I don't. I just know that one day, she wasn't in my room, sleeping with me. I asked mother, but she only said that Polly, my sister, disappeared, and nobody knew where she went. So I went out to the beach that night, to cry for her. And then I found the beach comforting, so I went to it every single day. Then I guess, that one day, I fell asleep on the beach, and maybe the water took me, and that's how I got here."

Tears were on Trinity's cheeks. Kairi gave Trinity hug, and said, "I'm sorry." Trinity nodded her head, and kept crying. After a while, they pulled apart, and looked out into the ocean, silence taking over. Everything around them was quiet; there wasn't even a cricket sound to be heard. The waves that were breaking weren't heard either. Just eternal silence.

After a while, Kairi asked, "When you see the, whatever you see, do you blank out? Because I remember-"

Trinity smiled. "Yes. Whenever I see something in the past, present, or future, I always blank out and don't blink. That's how I knew your name on the first day I came here. And the next day, I saw your whole past, everything. From the day you came on this island."

They sat there for a few more minutes, and then soon went inside to sleep.
