Meet me at Midnight

Chapter 20: August

Beau sat down at the table and opened the letter from A. "Let's see,"

Beau,

Please tell me that you are doing alright. I received the strangest package from you. It didn't come by the usual delivery person. And why send me a box full of rat traps?

~A

Beau frowned and pulled out a piece of paper. He remembered back to the night he got the law passed and Eri spending the night. For the first time something felt off, his energy felt like it had a duality to it.

A,

The box was not from me, However I wouldn't put it past the Queen to pull something like that. Please get it to Alan he and the leprechaun can asses the truth.

About you... I noticed something that has made me feel very stupid for not seeing it sooner. Now with your letter I am realizing that you need to be here with me. The Queen clearly has you in her crosshairs.

That being said...I know who you are. I should have seen it right away, you are you, in writing, in speech in feel and in action. I'm not saying it here, I will wait for you to come to me. But know this, If I don't get a reaction from you over this soon I will come to you.

Love,
Beau

Beau sealed the letter and called Al "I have a response for A, can you come get it?"

"Be right there," he hung up and was there by Beaus side in minutes. When he came in it alerted Fenella who came out to see what was going on. Al collected the letter and was off.

    "Finally think you know who A is?"

    "Yes, Erill and Eri." He started cleaning up, putting things away that he used to write the letter.

     "No way, they are twins yeah, but not a gender-morph." She laughed "there is so many ways it doesn't make sense."

     Satisfied with the clean up Beau turned and faced Fenella. "All can be explained with magic and tech that exists within the community."

    "Well, you're not wrong." Fenella smiled, I have got to tell everyone this."

    "Not Eri or Erill please."

    "Duh, of course not. I still say your wrong."

"Well, we shall see how it turns out..." he stood up and sleepily headed back to bed "hopefully soon."

"Yeah, goodnight." Fenella headed back to bed too.

    When the sunlight finally lit up the skyline outside the girls came running in "daddy, it's our day off what are we going to do?" Noa bounced on the bed as Von ran around with a clear case of the zoomies. Chy just sat on the end of the bed laughing.

   "Well how about we start out with junk food, board games and a movie."

     "That sounds good," Chy looked down tracing the pattern on the blankets as Noa changed and took off after Von in a game of tag.

     "You seem distracted." Beau sat up "is everything okay?"

    "Just finally comfortable," she looked up at him eyes hoping he understood.

    "If you would like to test it out, it's just your sister's and I. Have they met him yet... I mean really gotten the chance to know him, not just a fleeting moment when you let him out."
