It reads Everything is ok baby girl you and your sister is the key you have to do this together as Maryland made it to the the end of the letter it disappears into thin air. Maryland falls to the floor as tears rolls down her cheeks she was unsure of everything and all she wanted was her mom back and for everything to go back to normal. If only Maryland knew that her bloodline was far from normal, but she got up took off her clothes showered and prepared for bed. Drifting off to sleep Maryland sees her mom held at captive in her house but it’s different it’s more dark and everything is a reck.

You mean mine you just popped up out of no where to ruin things Maryland mumbles to herself. What was that? LandMary question. Let’s do this Maryland replies. Everyone joins hands as Maryland drifting off then she hears someone calling her come on Maryland get up we made it get up.
