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 have to say, well done on getting her out of that airport. I never thought you would have been interested in her, but hey, a few surprises aren’t a bad thing. If I knew you were interested in her, I might've contacted you a little sooner. I still don't know what you want her for, but I appreciate that you did the job anyway. Rest assured you will be paid well for your services, as long as you hand her over to me. 


I still remember the days when we were working together. We worked well. I have the superior power, but you were so good at taking what you wanted. We could do that again, you know. If you're interested, that is. 


Oh, and before I forget, next time, can you get the mother as well? She's been a little bit of a nuisance and I truly hope she dies a painful death at some point in the future. Now, of course, you can do that one, although I do have to warn you; she's a Pugnator, and being invisible may not have as much of an effect as it would normally.
