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.

You're absolutely screwed. Riley's got these newfound emotions that are fucking with his thought process, and so now he's fixated on killing you. I couldn't tell him that I'd allowed you. I like living. 


But the explosion in Rome has had effects that I didn't anticipate. Riley's now got the same powers as I do, and the three girls, including the one currently in your possession, all developed powers as well. The killer is that we don't know what those powers are. That gives them a huge tactical advantage, and you'll have to be extra careful about the Mercia girl. We don't know what else she can do. 


Riley's new powers are the reason that he's fallen off the grid, supposedly. He was no longer a psychopath, and that threw him off, so he went to stay with Gus. I've sent people to his house now, so that he's no longer a liability. Will I have to do the same with you?
