Snippet #1612489

Midnight sighed and picked her head up downing the glass of wine in one gulp and filling it back up again. She frowned and started flipping through the books. "Leslie, I just don't know about this. I don't want to have a child with Arucan, that much I do know. He would be a terrible father." She sighed and started reading, dismissing Leslie. It was true Midnight knew she would make a good mother and she was 500 years old. Maybe it was time for her to settle down that way, but that didn't mean she wanted to. "Fuck off, Arucan is an asshole that is trying to fuck with me because he thinks I murdered his father. I didn't fucking murder him, He tried to kill me and I was simply defending myself. Not to mention he had violated the law and was a damn traitor. My parents violated the law and were killed, why would his father be any different? Does he want special treatment for his family? Well guess what, Not fucking happening. Especially not after his dick head dad abused the fuck out of me and raped me on multiply occasions. He can fucking burn in hell for all I care." She took a deep breath realizing she was shouting at nothing since Leslie had left.

She sat in her room scanning over the laws and regulations committing everything to memory. She was not going to get caught off guard again. Three glasses of wine later she was half way through the book and feeling decently buzzed. It actually took the edge off, she wasn't so angry anymore. She just felt all sad and moody now. What the hell was she going to do about this. There didn't seem to be anyway around this so far. "Shisou can you go please? I want to be alone for a while."

Shisou finished his sweep frowning. He didn't want to go. "Midnight, I am going to my room. Please, please try to go to sleep." He grabbed a thick file and left the room. He wasn't going to his room, he was feeling stressed himself. He went to drop off the file to Arucan. It didn't take him long to track down Arucan and Kora. "Here I brought you something. Midnight didn't turn it in yet because she wanted to do it personally. But since she is currently indisposed, I am delivering it to you. It's the report on your father from Springside. It has everything including witness accounts of unbiased people that witnessed the incident. The last page you will be particularly interested in. It is the copy of the contract the Delegates put out when Aubrey defected and went after Midnight. He was a dead man with or without Midnight pulling the trigger. I don't want any trouble between you and Midnight."

Shisou left the file with him and walked back out. He went to the bar joining the rest. He frowned stealing a shot from Grant.
