Chapter 936: Chapter 121- Trinity – A Visit From Mr. Amadeus Part 2 (VOLUME 5)

~~

Trinity

~~

“Alright Talia, you seem to be feeling better now.” Mr. Amadeus smiled at her. “Let me or the others know if you are feeling upset from now on. We need to work together so that we can solve this problem with you. I am sure that you are vital to the outcome, so I am sure that we are all going to be doing our best for you.” With that, he rose to his feet and moved over to sit in his seat.

“You seem to know a lot about this stuff, Mr. Amadeus. I am sure that you are going to be vital to us as well. Can you explain some things to us?” I wanted to pick this man’s brain. He might be able to tell us exactly what it was that happened earlier.

“I will if I can. What is it that you need help with?” His smile was friendly and easy going. I knew that he was a good man. He had met with Vincent and Gabriel already, when he started to work at the school. Literally every employee there had been through a vetting process with the two of them. I couldn’t risk the safety of my children and the children in the community. Nope, I needed to make sure that all the teachers were completely trustworthy.

“Can you tell me how common it is for a vision to hurt someone?” I guess that he wasn’t expecting that question at all. When he heard it, there was a noticeable widening of his eyes as the shock settled into him.

.....

“A vision that hurts someone?” He seemed scared by the very idea. “That’s impossible. Visions are just images. They can’t hurt the person seeing them.”

“Hmm.” I wasn’t liking that. If it was impossible, then how was it that Talia was hurt by that man? How was it that he had left bruises on her?

“Mr. Amadeus, I was hurt.” Talia lifted her arm and pulled back her sleeve. The bruises were still there. They should be gone by now, but they were still there. Of course, they had faded a little, and it was likely that they would be gone by morning, but they were still quite visible.

“Talia?” He looked at me and then at her. “H..how is it that this happened? What happened in the vision?”

Talia, of course, gave him what he wanted. She told him how she found herself at the park and ran until she saw the others in the middle of it. That was when she watched those five men kill her friends and classmates. She even told him the names of the girls that had been killed in the vision so that he knew that it was real.

When she got to the part where the man turned to talk directly to her, that was when Mr. Amadeus was shocked by what he heard.

“I have never heard of someone in a vision interacting with the person that was having the vision. To me, this seems more like a sort of spiritual projection.”

“And just what is that?” I asked him, not sure what to think or believe right now.

“Well, essentially, it would mean that it was a vision, but it was more than that. It’s like instead of just seeing the event happening, Talia was actually there. She just projected her soul into the future to see it. And it also means that she could possibly move around herself and see what is happening in other parts of the event. If she would have tried going toward people or buildings in the first vision, she might have found out where she was. And it also explains how that person in her vision could sense her. It hasn’t happened yet, but she will actually be there at the time of the next murder. If someone were to be searching for her soul, they would be able to find her and the killers.”

The explanation was blowing my mind. My daughter was projecting her soul into the future? How was that possible? What was actually happening with her. And could she do this at will or was it something that needed to happen to her at random.

“We already know where the next murders are supposed to take place. And we will be putting a stop to them.” Reece spoke firmly. He wasn’t going to let Talia’s friends get hurt. He wasn’t going to let anymore of our people get hurt if he could help it.

“That is good. But if it ever happens again, just try moving around more. You might be able to see and hear more than you would ever guess. You can also try freezing the images you see and exploring them more in depth.” It was a good thing that Mr. Amadeus had come here. We were learning a lot from him.

“Mr. Amadeus, would Talia be able to project her soul when she wants to, or is this something that she needs to wait for. Is it uncontrollable?” I needed to ask this. Not that I was going to force my daughter to do this against her will. I just needed to know.

“Theoretically, she could do it on her own. However, it would take practice. A lot of practice. I have met witches that could do this in the past, but they were not very skilled at it, and they were limited in what they were able to see. I wouldn’t try seeing too much at first.” He was warning us against it before he started to laugh. “Ha ha ha. What am I saying? Talia is stronger than those witches. She would be strong enough to handle this. She was chosen to take over the underworld when she was only four, right? That’s proof that she is way more special than anyone else that has ever attempted this. Just practice it if you want, Talia. You will be able to see more than you would have ever dreamed of.”

“I..I wouldn’t really want to spy on people. If I used this power for anything, it would only be for solving this case. I don’t think that I would be able to use it on anyone else.” The nerves that were coursing through her were unexpected. However, the reluctance that she was showing was completely her. I would expect her to say that she didn’t want to spy on people.

“It isn’t usually used for spying. You can definitely use it for the purpose of investigating these crimes. Once you have control of the power, you won’t need to use it against your will. That is, unless fate decides to show you something like this again. Willful use and being forced into it are two different things, Talia. There is nothing to be ashamed about if the fates decided that you needed to see something. That usually means that the gods in the celestial realm have faith in you. That is something to be proud of.”

“Of course they have faith in her.” Alexio seemed to scoff at Mr. Amadeus’s words. “Talia is going to be a goddess before too much longer. She is wise. She is powerful. And most of all, she is kind and fair. She will never do anything to hurt anyone, and the gods know that.” He was saying things that I had never heard him say before. He wasn’t wrong, I just wasn’t expecting him to say it at all.

“Th..thank you, Lex.” She blushed and looked away from him. “A..and I will try my best to get control of this power, Mr. Amadeus. If you don’t mind, c..can I talk to you about this again in the future?”

“Of course, Talia. I will be there for you whenever you need to talk. After all, I am your teacher, it’s my job to help you and instruct you. And I am well versed in visions and things like this. I might just be the best person for you to talk to about this.”

“Thank you.” Talia nodded and almost bowed at him.

“Thank you, Mr. Amadeus. We are thankful that you came to give us this information. You have been extremely helpful today.”

“No problem at all. I was happy to come by and talk. I also wanted to make sure that Talia was OK. She is, as I said, a very special person. We need to make sure that people like her are not harmed in any way.”

“I will make sure of that.” Alexio snapped at him grumpily. “And when she goes back to school, I will be coming with her. I cannot let her out of my sight. I cannot risk her having something else happen to her when I am not there to protect her.”

“Ahh, yes, that is understandable as well.” Mr. Amadeus’s head bobbed again as he nodded in agreement. “I will make sure that I tell the school about this. I will also notify the office that all the children will be absent from their classes for the time being. And without worrying the other students, I will make sure that I let the other teachers be on their guard. None of us want to let our children be harmed. It is time that the entire community comes together to protect each other.”

“Thank you, Mr. Amadeus.” Reece leaned forward at that, his hand out to shake the teacher’s hand and accept his offer of assistance. “We all do need to work together. I will have my men spread the word of caution as well, but we can’t alarm the community at large. This is going to be a delicate situation.”

The men shook hands and we talked momentarily about what needed to happen right now. After that, Mr. Amadeus left, but not before he promised to bring the work for the kids over in a few days. He was a good man, and he was truly trying to help us.

“I don’t like him.” Alexio growled as he walked out of the room with Talia. I almost wanted to laugh. I had a feeling that this was just him being overprotective in these difficult times, but he was acting a lot like Reece did when people paid too much attention to the kids. He was acting like a protective father that didn’t want his precious little girl touched or looked at by members of the opposite sex. It was kind of funny to see. I wonder just what he was going to do when Talia really did start dating, or when she found her mate? It was going to be hard on her, like having two dads like Reece or something like that. Poor girl. She had it rough right now.
