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've stolen your email address from Alex and Chelsea. They're completely oblivious, obviously. Only you could possibly be on my level. And yes, I know, you're smarter than I am. Whatever you say. 


You've probably heard it on the news, about a week ago. High-security laboratory was robbed. Apparently, nothing was taken except some unknown substance. They think it could be terrorists. They're completely up in arms about it. 


Obviously it was me. Or... well, Alex and Chelsea would say it was 'us', but they're delusional. 


You know what our goals are. But my ambition exceeds everyone else's. 


You are the only one who can possibly know what goes on in my mind. The ecstasy that fills your veins when you've got someone under your control, when you chuck a person through a wall. You cause that horrific violence and seriously injure somebody.
