Melissa is leading a normal life. Well, reasonably normal-- as normal as having one of the five most intelligent children on the planet can be. She is living out her life comfortably, at the very least.

But the letters start. Only one or two at first, but soon the postman is delivering them by the bundle; something extremely inconvenient for her. These letters, however, hold a frightening truth: Melissa is being hunted. For her abilities, after a millennia long feud, the abilities that she didn't even know she had.

Doing the only thing she can after escaping, she follows the letters instructions. And they lead her to a life she could never have imagined. Making new friends and new family, and losing some along the way, Melissa and her daughter fight for a cause that they aren't so sure that they believe in anyway.

FAMILY TIES.

I'm not sure where you are, or what you're doing. And I'm sure you'll know by now that Riley is coming after you. But this is a message, I guess, to let you know about everything going on. I'm not sure why you ran when you did (although I get the feeling it was something to do with Melissa). But we figured out Riley's plan. 


It isn't an efficient one, which I guess proves that he's pissed. But he's gonna look in every country on the planet until he finds you. So, you can figure out the obvious move. Go back to Australia. He won't be coming back for you anytime soon. Live out your life. But stay the fuck away from us. 


Don't worry, I won't bore you with instructions. I'm not the sort of person to give a needless lecture. Just know that it would be better if you didn't die. I'm pretty sure that I am going insane, and we're the last of a dying breed. According to population statistics.
