Here is my second story for "TALES OF TRINITY"! Leigh Nuridin TALES FROM TRINITY __________________ By Leigh Nuridin January 1, 1997 "A Force not to be Reakoned With (The new kid of Trinity II)" _____________________________________ Lately: A boy called David moves into Trinity claiming to be Lucas's son, Caleb's brother. Lucas and Matt had a giant fight which put Matt in hospital and now Caleb and David are living with Lucas... CHAPTER 1: "Matt and Merlyn meet" "It's a noisy night!" Billy told Matt who tried to get some sleep. "With you around." Matt joked which made Billy leave. Outside the storm grew louder and bigger. What was happening? Very soon Matt realised the lights had gone out. He heard people whispering in the hall. "Darn storm knocked the power out!" Matt closed his eyes. He was very weak. He would've fallen asleep only the lights had come back on. Or had they? Matt opened his eyes and saw a young girl sitting on the end of his ben. Matt reconised her. "I'm seeing angels." Matt claimed. "Maybe I'm dying." "No Matthew." Merlyn said softly. "You still have a long time until you have to leave this home of yours." "Then why are you here Merlyn-Anne?" Matt asked. "I need your help Matt." She said. "I've got to be dreaming." Matt yawned. "Help with what?" "Help to destroy Lucas Buck." She answered. "How? And why do you need me?" Matt questioned. "I need you because your smart. You'd stand up to him like you did tonight." Merlyn said kindly. "I'm sorry?" Matt asked confused. "I don't remember standing up against Lucas!" "You don't remember because he wiped out your memory." Merlyn explained. "Matt, help please. For Caleb's sake!" Matt looked at Merlyn begging and watched her disappear as the power came back on. Caleb's sake, Matt remembered. Caleb's sake. "Lucas," David began. "You know rule number twenty eight, Go with ALL the girls, well what if you've got a girlfriend?" "Don't tell 'em!" Lucas explained. "And rule number forty three," Caleb started. "Punish those who don't obey OUR rules... How do you punish people?" "Now this is the most valuable lesson, my sons." Lucas explained. "To teach you I'll need your full attention." Both children looked at Lucas who closed his eyes. Suddenly the doors to the room slammed shut and the lights flickered out! "WICKED!" David shouted as the lights came back on. "You try." Lucas smiled at David who closed his eyes. "Anything you want, dream about it and then make it REAL!" David closed his eyes. All around the room objects began to float, including Caleb! "Ahhh, Lucas!" Caleb called. Suddenly everything dropped, including Caleb! "HAVOC!" David shouted as he opened his eyes to reveal everything smashed! "Can I try, Lucas?" Caleb asked excitingly. "Go for your life, son." Caleb closed his eyes. Suddenly a scrapping began on the windows outside! David looked at Lucas with fear in his eyes. Lucas stood up and walked to the window as an object jumped at him! Matt's head! "Tricked ya!" Caleb called to Lucas who looked at the head again which happened to be a ball. "Wow Caleb!" Lucas and David both burst out laughing! TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 2: "Fighting for Freedom" "Ben, I've really gotta go." Gail told Ben. "I'll catch up with you tomorrow." "Tomorrow ain't Lucas's day off," Ben explained to Gail. "You'll have to put up with him." "I'll just ignore the fact that he's in love with himself." Gail joked. Gail walked out of the police station and into her car. She drove threw the quiet streets of Trinity, threw the giant storm until she got to her apartment. "It's good to be home." Gail told herself as she walked into her room. Gail got a drink of water and took off her top, ready for bed only the phone rang. "Hello," Gail answered the phone. "Oh, hi Ben! No. Well I was going to bed but if it's important... Oh. Okay. Matt! Is he okay? All right so you'll pick me up in fifteen minutes. See ya!" Gail put her top back on. "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" "Who is it?" Gail called to her front door. "Selena." the voice told her. Gail mumbled to herself as she opened the door. "Gail I was wondering how my fist tastes." Selena said sarcastically. "Uh?" Gail asked. "POW!" Selena punched Gail right in the nose. Gail surprised stood up but was hit again, in the mouth! "Lucas is mine!" Selena yelled at Gail. Gail gave Selena an uppercut which left Selena on the floor. "I never liked Lucas anyway." Gail yelled at Selena. "GET OUT!" Gail opened the front door and waited for Selena to walk out only she didn't! Instead she tripped Gail who went head first into the door! Gail stood up and grabbed Selena in a head-lock. Selena struggled with all her might and elbowed Gail in the stomach! "Bye-Bye honey." Selena said as she stepped over Gail who lay helplessly on the floor. Gail got up as Ben's car pulled up over the road. Ben came strolling in, not seeing Selena and not noticing anything's wrong. Gail walked past Ben. "Let's go." she said not facing him. "Matt needs us." Back at the hospital... "You're not meant to be out here!" Billy told Matt as he walked down the hall. "Why not?" Matt asked. "I do work here. I can go where I want." Billy starred at him not saying a word as he walked out of the hospital. "Billy, you have no control over anyone whatsoever!" a nurse told him. "Yes I do." Billy argued. "Who?" "Myself." Little did Billy know that Lucas had control over him and everyone else in Trinity. "I'm gonna get some work done in my office." Billy told the nurse. Billy walked towards the front of the hospital where Gail and Ben ran in. "Billy, where's Matt? Is he Okay?" Gail asked. "I don't know where he is, but he's fine!" Billy told both Ben and Gail. "You might find him somewhere outside." TO BE CONTINUED... CHAPTER 3: "...Yes my love...Gail..." Matt ran to the school yard. He ran into the corner where all the tree's were standing tall. He watched the thunder go from cloud to cloud. He was cold and sick. "Merlyn. Merlyn-Anne." Matt called into the darkness. Suddenly out of all the darkness Merlyn appeared crying. "Merlyn? What's wrong?" Matt asked. "This is Lucas's storm." Merlyn explained. "I hope we're not too late!" Suddenly a strip of light came through the trees. Matt ducked and so did Merlyn. It missed Matt by an inch. "Never be under a tree in a storm." Matt stated. "especially a Lucas Buck storm!" Merlyn agreed. "Wow Lucas! This is cool!" David and Caleb both agreed. It was warm inside Lucas's house. The storm didn't effect it at all! "Time for bed." Lucas said laughing. "Oh." Both children cried. Lucas led them into a room with an old wooden bunk bed. It was dark and warm inside the room. Caleb chose the bottom bunk and David chose the top bunk. Very soon both were fast asleep. Lucas locked the front door to the house and walked down the small footpath. For some reason, he didn't get slightly wet. He jumped in his black car and drove to Gail's flat. He walked to her front door and let himself in. Meanwhile outside Ben dropped off Gail. "We'll find Matt." Ben assured Gail. "I hope so." Gail prayed. She walked to her front door and turned the knob. The door was open! She kicked the door so it went swinging and used her hand-bag for protection. "Lucas! What the hell are you doing here?" Gail asked Lucas who stood at the tip of her bed. Lucas didn't answer. "Get the hell out of my flat!" Gail screamed at him. Lucas began to walk out but stopped. "Gail, have you ever noticed how well we go together?" he asked her. "I suggest you get out NOW!" Gail yelled. "Like sauce and a pie." Lucas imagined. "I hate sauce!" Gail said meanly pointing to the door. Lucas grabbed Gail's head and pushed his lips on hers. Gail struggled out of his grip. "What do you think you're doing!?!?" Gail yelled. "No harm in having fun." Lucas protested. "GET OUT!" Gail yelled at him only Lucas sat on her bed. "That's it, Lucas! I'm calling nine, one, one!" Gail picked up the phone. "I am nine, one, one." Lucas reminded her smiling. Gail raced to the front door which slammed shut! "Lucas, what are you doing?" Gail asked worried. "Just my usual." Lucas assured her. Lucas stood up. "Lucas." Gail said. "Please, get out." "Are you using your manners, Ms Emory?" Lucas asked sarcastically. "Yes." Gail said calmly opening the front door. "Lucas, go home." "I will." Lucas agreed. "My boys are proberly getting into mischeff." Gail was confused. "My boys" kept echoing through her head. She watched as Lucas drove off. "Caleb." she said to herself. "David." She raced to the phone and began to dial. "Anyone home?" Loris, scared, asked at Lucas's door. She knew just one more step, she'd be entering unholy grounds. "Caleb?" Inside the bed-room Caleb woke up. He walked to the front door and opened it. "Caleb!" Loris yelled with joy. "Come home, Caleb." "This is my home, Loris." Caleb said evilly. "What happened to Ms Holt?" Loris asked. "I don't know." Caleb said as he made Loris disappear in thin air! TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 4: "The battle" Lucas's car pulled up over the road from his house. He ran inside to check on Caleb and David. They were both fast asleep. Lucas went up to his room and went to sleep to only loud knocks began at the door. Lucas ran down stairs and answered to Matt's knocks. "Lucas," Matt began. "I'd like to thank you for finding me outside. If it wasn't for you, I could've been dead. I've also come for Caleb." "It was a pleasure saving you," Lucas lied. "But you don't get Caleb or David." "Who's David?" Matt asked. "You don't know? Good. It's none of your business." Lucas said nastily. Outside Gail's car pulled up. "YOU BASTARD!" Gail yelled from across the road. "Caleb's coming home with me! And so is David!" She ran up to Lucas and threatened him with her arm. Lucas grabbed her arm and dragged her into the "family" room making Matt follow. "See this painting," Lucas asked pointing to the old painting. "That IS you, and that IS me. See Gail, we were ment for each other." "NOOO!" Gail screamed. "Yes." Lucas began to laugh but was hit over the head by Matt. "Are you alright?" Matt asked Gail. "I'm fine. What about Caleb?" Gail asked. "I'll find him," Matt said with a smile. "Don't worry." Matt picked up a indoor gargoyle. "Good-bye, Lucas." he said. Matt swung the gargoyle ready to hit Lucas but Caleb and David ran out screaming. "NO!" David and Caleb called to Matt. David leaped over and grabbed the gargoyle as Caleb grabbed Matt's arms. "Caleb, David," Gail started. "Lucas is evil. Caleb, he raped your mother, and for all we know, he could've raped David's mother as well!" "SHUT UP!" David yelled at Gail. "What would you know?" David lifted the gargoyle above his head and hit Matt in the back. Everyone began arguing and fighting until Merlyn appeared. "Merly?" Caleb asked. "Merlyn?" Gail asked. "Merlyn-Anne?" Lucas asked as he woke up. Gail was shocked. "My cousin?" she asked quietly. Merlyn didn't answer. She lifted her hands and shot a red and white ball at Lucas! Lucas went flying back and hit the wall. "At last Lucas, you'll pay for your sins!" Merlyn yelled. Lucas stood up and yelled an awful sound. A line of green and black shot Merlyn in the heart. Her eyes grew wide as she collapsed. "Merly!" Caleb called. Caleb looked at Lucas and pointed. "six..." he said and closed his eyes remembering about the spell Merlyn tought him. Suddenly Lucas began shaking. His eyes rolled in the back of his head and his nose began to twitch. Matt picked up the gargoyle and went to hit Lucas. He swung and hit him in the side only Matt's eyes rolled back into his head and HIS nose began to twitch. Lucas ran to Merlyn who was still on the ground. He put his hands around her neck. "Someone's at the door..." Merlyn said. "We don't have to worry about that no more darlin'." Lucas said as he twisted her neck. "Someone's at the door." David said facing Lucas. "Someone's at the door." "What are you doing, David?" Lucas asked only Merlyn answered. "Your spirit would be past on to Caleb if you died, correct?" Merlyn asked not expecting an answer. "Well, mine is being past on to David." "NO!" Lucas yelled as Merlyn gave him a smile. Lucas let go of Merlyn, Caleb opened his eyes and Matt dropped to the floor. Loris appeared and Gail said her first words. "I'm seeing things!" The room filled with a blinding white light. TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 5: "Back to normal?" The next day was a nice hot day. Ben put his feet on the desk and turned the fan up even higher than it was on before. He closed his eyes but was startled by the front doors to the police station swinging open wildly. "Ben get your feet off the desk!" Lucas yelled. "Yes sir!" Ben joked but stopped when he saw how serious Lucas was. "Everything's back to normal now." At Loris's boarding house Matt was up early for breakfast as usual. Loris had made Caleb his usual cornflakes. She called Caleb downstairs. Gail was sleeping-in as usual. And her old alarm clock went off on it's usual schedule. "Just another day." Gail told herself. "Caleb, aren't you coming down for breakfast?" Loris called. "Wake your cousin too." Caleb came down stairs with David following him. "I was wondering when you two were getting up." Loris said happily. THE END! The ending is a little tricky to understand. No one except Lucas and Merlyn remember what happened. And everyone thinks that David is Gail's and Caleb's cousin. David shares a room with Caleb at Loris's boarding house. The next story I'm writing is a comedy. It's going to be a mix between "The X Files" and "American Gothic". I'm going to call it "Unexplained Trinity".
