( Mr Hale came back and seeing as you haven’t texted I am assuming you didn’t send him my way. ) - AbbyDear Miss E.G.Hudson,
I am writing to you to inform you of your rightful place. To provide you with information of who you truly are. On behalf of her Majesty Queen Adelinde Ros Grace Schlimme Leitz of Angtrorse and his Majesty King consort Elias Gabriel Schlimme Leitz of Angtrorse.
Who are inviting you to come home and be with them until you wish to leave. They do wish to be able to have a celebration ball in your honour of turning eighteen. This is all in your hands Miss Hudson for if you do wish to meet your parents and take your place as rightful heir to the Angtrorse throne. Your Royal Highness Princess Eloise Sophia Grace Schlimme Leitz of Angtrorse.
Sincerely,
Karl Taube.
"What the?" Eloise mumbles as she rereads the words over and over again. Turning the paper over but nothing on the back. Picking up the envelope to look inside but nothing. "This has to be some sort of sick joke."
"What do you have there?" Eddie's voice comes from behind her making Eloise jump up in her seat.
"Oh nothing really, just this weird letter." She says handing it over to him.
Eddie's eyes move as he reads the letter, his hands tightening on the grip of the paper creasing it.
He quickly walks back into the stairway and shouts, "Lillian!" Not even sparing Eloise a glance.
"What? What is it? What's wrong? What's the matter?" Eloise asked only to get Eddie putting his hand up to stop her talking.
"Lillian!" He shouts again.
"Yes alright I heard you the first time!" Lillian's voice shouts back. "What is it that you had to wake me up so soon and early?" She asks as she descends the staircase.
"Here." Eddie says, handing her the letter.
"No no no they've found us." Lillian says as she puts a shaky hand over her mouth.
"Who has found us? What's going on? Will someone please fill me in?" Eloise says her eyes flicking from her Mam and Dad. "Is it something really serious?"
"Right Eddie, go get on the phone to the landlord of that flat." Lillian barked out and Eddie nodded and walked back through to the living room picking up the landline. Turning to Eloise "You get upstairs changed and pack your things."
"What ... But ... Why? I don't understand. Will you please just tell me what's going on?" Eloise pleases as she grabs on to Lillian's wrists.
"All you need to know is that we need to go now." Grabbing Eloise's hands off her and pushing Eloise toward the stairs as Eddie comes back through.
"He said that the flat will be available in two to three days' time."
"Okay so we will have to go to a bed and breakfast or a hotel. That's fine. It's all going to be fine." Lillian said as she smoothed out her clothes and ran her hands through her hair.
"What do you mean ‘stay in a bed and breakfast or a hotel’?" Eloise asked from the second step up on the stairs.
"Eloise, can you just go and do what I've told you to do!" Lillian snaps.
Eloise rushes upstairs.
