Love Conquers All

Chapter Fourteen

Alex's POV

"Angelica open the door!" I scream at the door and my teeth grind together.  Thomas stands behind me with the horses. He's pulled a hood low over his face and keep glancing at the sky nervously.

I asked where the Schuylers live and someone in town pointed us here. This is a far cry from the little shake we uses to live in. Its a large southern bell mansion.  Its white as snow and tall as the first floor of the castle.

"Who the hell is knocking on our door at two in the...." She throws open the door,with intentions on chewing out whoever is there. She stops and her eyes widen.

She slams the door back in our face and I can hear running from behind the door.

"Well, we tried." Thomas shrugs and turns to leave. I grab his hand and press kisses to his palms. He stops and I watch his eyes fall shut.

"Try one more time? They might know where our son is." I ask softly.  He sighs and nods. I grin ear to eae and press a kiss to his lips. I raise my fist to knock and the door flies open, we're yanked inside. Peggy's running around lighting candles and lanters while Eliza and Angelica are standing angerily infront of us.

"I told you it was him!" Angelica snaps at Eliza,the girl in a baby blue night gown sizes me up and frowns. I squeeze Thomas' hand and he slowly pulls his hood down.  Angelica's breath catches and her eyes glue to Thomas.  In fear or awe I can't tell.

"Alexander?" Eliza cocks her head and looks up at me. I smile and nod slowly.

"Eliza." I give a soft nod at her ." Angelica," another nod at her and I smile when I catch a blure of yellow infront of me."and Peggy!"

She's gives a bow, god, she's got to be at least fifteen now. She jolds jerslef high and her eyes hold the child like light in them.

"Who's this?" Angelica says stiffly and yanks her  head at Thomas. "This isn't the man that took you." I laugh and shake my head.  That seems as far away as when Thomas was born.

"No, no he's not. "I assure." This is my husband,Thomas Jefferson. He's the king of the night and day. "

All three sisters sink to the ground and give a soft, 'your majesty'.

"Wait that makes you a...." Peggy's eyeswiden and she squeels.

"A king too." I nod and smile at her joy.

"What are you doing here? You, much less us, could be slaughtered for being here.  You're Fae. Everyone hates you. " Angelica snaps.

"What she means," Eliza cutsa sharp glare at her sister," Is why you are here? You shouldve stayed in your home."

"Our son ran away..." I bite my lip and look at the ground.

"You have a son?" Peggy gasps.

"He's adopted." I nod.

"Then why is he causing trouble?He doesn't  have your genes ." Angelica smiles. Thomas sighs and explains the situation.

"And that's why were here. We dont know who hws with or where they are." Thomas looks between the three sisters. This is the lost quiet they've been the entire ten minutes we've been here.

"I don't belive we caught a name." Eliza shakes her head.

"Philip." I offer. Peggy gasps and her eyes widen to dinner plates.

"I know him! He was at the festivle in town!" She jumps around. "They were going to head east!"

"How long ago was that?" Thoams' eyes light up and he look at me. Sparks start where our skin touches.

"Three days?" She shrugs and nods.

"You say 'they', do you know who he was with?" I smile. She scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Yeah,unfortunately. " she sighs. " He's the biggest asshole in town. Won't take anyone to bed."

"Who?" I ask softly yet urgently.

"George Eaker." Thomas snarls and eyes glowlike he's going to explode.

"Let's get the bastered." Thomas grabs my hand and we both tare out of the house.
