Midnight Storm

Chapter 4: Dear Diary..

It has already been 3 weeks since Hope went to school and so much had happened. Maria had moved in with me, we found out that Maria and Alexa were both pregnant, Maria was now at seven weeks, and Maria and I have now been together for five weeks and I couldn't imagine my life without her. I had decided that when Hope came home for the holidays that I would take them both on a surprise holiday. I was thinking of Italy or Greece when suddenly there was a knock at the door, it was Patrick. He is my twin brother but ironically he was our mailman too. 'There is a lot of twins in my life at the moment aren't there? I don't mind it's just odd timing I guess' 'Hello Patrick. Anything for me?' I asked as I shook my brothers hand. 'Yeah, a really fancy looking letter from a girl named Hope, and a parcel.' He said as he handed me the mail. 'Hello Patrick' Maria said as she walked up behind me, 'You remember my partner Maria?' I asked as I held Maria's hand. 'Of course I do' Patrick said 'Well I best be off then' he said 'See you tomorrow Patrick!' I said as he rode off on his bike. 'A letter from Hope! I wonder how she's going' Maria said as she started making breakfast. I looked at the parcel and letter on the bench. The envelope had faded from a crystal white to a creamy beige and it had a blue wax seal on the back with a strange 'M' with a pointed tail on it. I opened and read the letter aloud to Maria.
