Melody closed the journal and traced the cover with her fingers. It was tattered at the edges and had some water marks that scattered across its face and back. Looking up at staring into silence that surrounded her, she leaned back into her couch. The journal belonged to Djosefin. Melody also came into a few other possessions, such as her silver cigarette case, a pearl handle pistol and a guitar. Putting the journal beside her, she leaned forward and put her elbows on her knees.

After thinking for some time, Melody finally got up and stretched. Melody grabbed her sweater and brushed her hair back, throwing the hood on. Grabbing the cigarette case on the table, she put it in her pocket. Looking at the pistol, she grabbed it and held it in her hands. Letting out a sigh, she tucked it into an inside pocket of her sweater. Melody knew she had some shoes to fill when she got a letter about Djosefin from Jordan, along with her possessions. Melody didn’t know if she was ready, but the only way she would know is if she went out there and tried it. Slipping on her boots, she opened the door of her apartment and took a deep breath.

Reaching the side walk, Melody could feel the heaviness of the pistol become much more noticeable as people walked past her. Try to refrain from letting her anxiety get the best of her; she walked down the street towards the family headquarters. Walking down the streets, scanning the buildings to her right and left, she noticed a few of the store fronts that were mentioned in the journal.

Taking long deep breaths, Melody continued on down the street as people past her. Keeping her down, she began to look at the ground to keep her focus. A man bumped into Melody which startled her back to reality. Quickly looking up at the city, she saw the building. Headquarters. Taking a deep breath, Melody charged her way towards the establishment.

 “Keep your cool Melody. You work yourself up too much. You’ll be fine. Jordan sent you that message for a reason…”

After talking herself to the building, Melody opened the front door. Standing there, she froze. Looking around there was some faces and they smiled as the past and went their ways. Melody nervously smiled back and made her way towards Jordan’s office. Melody had been in a family before, but doing what Djosefin was set to do was something bigger for Melody. Reaching the threshold of Jordan’s office, Melody knocked on the frame.

 ‘Well Melody…your journey is about to begin. Show them what you can do.’

Throwing his arm around Melody he gives her a little shrug...

You know your mother was amazing at this particular kind of work we do, keep that journal close, she has defiantly rubbed off on you and I can see her traits in you. With that being said you have been a given a great honor with this right hand position, its not a walk in the park but I have no doubts, you will do great.

Letting go of Melody he gives her a nod and a smile…

Try not to worry yourself to much; we are going to have a blast!
