The sky was clear. It was a crisp morning. Melis had a day off so she dressed casually in jeans and a sweater. Putting on her favourite pair of running shoes she starts her walk around the downtown areas. Today was her day to wander around New York. It started pleasant enough. She grabbed a coffee to go from a local vendor and a biscuit. Not paying attention to where she was walking she wandered down a few alley streets. Stopping at a corner she didnt recognize she tried to remember how she got to this area. It wasn't anywhere she wanted to be. 

At first glance there wasnt much to focus on. What appeared to be rundown buildings and a few scumbags around. Taking no notice of the so called scumbags she tours the area. Easier to be on the move then to be standing still, she thought. Walking past a person she walks quickly but not quickly enough. All of a sudden it went dark...

Melis opens her eyes slowly. Her world is spinning. Not focusing on anything she closes her eyes once again and focuses on her breathing. Thump, Thump, Thump. She seemed to be alive. She couldnt recall what happened. One minute she was walking the next it went dark. How long have I been here? She thought. Where am I? Who is behind this? Her thoughts were coming in a rush of questions. She hadn't done anything and sure as hell never hurt anyone. Opening her eyes once again she winces as a bright light hits her face. 

At first she thought it was someone shining a flashlight but once her eyes adjusted she realized there was a light directly over her. She was slumped against a table leg. Feeling around her she tries to move her arms. The left one was movable but the right was attached to something. Feeling the cool metal press against her wrist she realized that she was handcuffed to the table leg. Careful not to make a sound she hears voices in another room.

"No, you were supposed to knock her out and bring her to the other warehouse." A very deep and angry voice was speaking. Trying to hear what the reply was it was a mere mumble from a young lad she guessed. Listening harder she catches a few more exchanges. 
"I cant rely on you for anything. Can I?" 
"I'm s-s-sorry sir. I never meant to screw up." 
All of a sudden there was the sound of a bullet being fired. Then quiet before the sound of a door closing. She could only a assume the screw up was dead. 

Tears stinging her eyes she tries to find something, anything to get her out of the cuffs and as far away from that guy as possible. Feeling around the floor she finds a pin. Maybe just maybe, she thought. Working quickly and quietly she gets herself uncuffed. Scurrying to hide behind anything she ducks behind some crates. Her eyes searching for the door or an open window. 

Scanning the room she spots the door. Noticing that there is a closed door right near it she debates if she goes for it or risks sticking around. She hesitates for a moment and makes a swift dash out the door. The sun hits her. In shock she realizes she wasnt prepared for the sun. Didnt even realize how dim the warehouse was. Without looking back she runs. Takes off down a side alley and back into a busy street. Still not knowing where she is she just feels safer in a busier area with more people around.

Not catching anyone's eye she keeps her head down and asks a couple of people for directions. As soon as she makes it back to her apartment she locks the doors and sighs. Safe at last. At least for now. 

Vegas_Gionni pauses for a moment after reading, he sits back putting his hands behind his head and imagines, what if that was me? not being able to figure out what he would have done he continues reading the words of Melis.

After being told of what happened to Melis, Myr was enraged. How dare someone do this to his friend! His bloodline had been friends with Melis' for a long time so of course -myrddin- would be upset by these events. He headed over to her house and knocked on the door. 

Are you okay?!? 

Wraith watched from the shadows. "Well," he reasoned to himself,"she wasn't in any danger.. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't interfere. We have enough problems as it is," before proceeding to torch the entire warehouse and disappearing into the night.

(Nice recounting)

Melis looks out the eye hole of her apartment. Seeing Myrddin she quickly ushers him inside.

I'm alright. Thank you. 

Myr walks in and looks a little relieved that Melis is still okay. 

Good! I was worried for a second there. If you'd like I can stay here for a while. Don't want the people responsible coming back when you're sleeping. I can camp out here. Me and my gun. 

He smiles as he taps the gun on his belt after he says the word "gun". 

Melis laughs as he taps the gun.

I won't lie to you Myr. I was worried too. I have never been in a situation I couldn't talk my way out of or at least distract them long enough to get away until now. I could use some company for a while. Would you like some coffee?

She holds up the coffee pot she was holding in her hand when he walked in.

Myr smiles and nods

I would, thank you. So, are you planning any sort of revenge? I would of course, always relish the chance to help you with said revenge. Just say the word.

I'm thinking about it. Careful planning and all that. If I do something I like to make sure it's done right.

Melis heads into the kitchen to get another mug. Pouring coffee into the mug she brings out the sugar and milk. Laying the items on the table, she motions for Myr to have a seat.

When the time is right though I would be more than happy to have your help. Sugar? Milk? Didnt know what you took so I brought it all out anyways. 

Myr takes the cup of coffee and takes a deep breath before taking a sip. 

Thank you. I like my coffee black most days. 

When you're ready, you know that I'll have your back. Hopefully some of your other friends will help you out too. I'm sure that you have a lot. 

A lot? Clearly not. I have a few close friends. I am sure a few of them will also help out. In fact I should start making a list of people we should call. I say we because I am certain a few of them are mutual friends.

 Taking a sip of her coffee as she picks up a pen and some paper. Setting her cup down she starts to write out a few names. 

Anyone you can think of that might help us?

Mario walks to the melis aprtment and see she is ok and sigh in relefe.she is safe for now.Mario slips back though the shadows
