Being "Discovered"
After a while i forgot about wanting my abilities to be usefull. Not that i didn't are about it anymore. But i had other problems. Starting with my neighbours. They kept waking me up at night. I talked to them, asked them nicely to try and not be so noisy at night but it didn't change anything. And then they even started complaining that i as making too much noise. They complain about other things that were not true. We argued anf they nearly had me kicked out of the appartment. Then they did evrything they could to make me feel unwelcomed in my own appartment. And it worked. Because a few days later i moved out. Then i also had trouble at work. The boss was acting...weird. He made me feel uncomfortable, really often. I ignored it at first, but after a while i couldn't take it anymore. So i asked him to stop. I told him i didn't like how he was acting around me, but he didn't care. He didn't stop. Instead he fired me.
In fact. She was so foocused on singing and trying to relax that she didn't notice some people walking closer to hear her sing. That's usually what happens when she sings in public. People are often drawn to her.. or well to her voice. But this time she didn't notice them. And she didn't notice other people watching her from afar. She didn't notice any of it. She just kept singing, with her eyes closed. Most people listening to her were actually close to her. Only two of them were watching from afar.One of them knew her. Her uncle. But even if she saw him she wouldn't recognise him. She only met him once as a baby, before her paretns gave up on her. And she barely remebers her parents. But he saw her grow up. He checked on her more than once. Yet he never knew if s=he should talk to her. or what he should say. There was one thing he did know. He knew about her ability. She wasn't the only one in her family to have that power. It was.... a gift. And usually a girl in the family would recieve that gift every four or five years. Now how it worked exactly ot why it...chose someone wasn't quite clear. But there were signs if someone were to recieve it. Signs that Melody's parent's saw... which might have been one of th reasons why they gave up on her. The other person didn't know her. But he as still listening. Not only because her voice sounded so nice and soothing. But because he noticed the effect it had. He noticed it wasn't usual. And he was thinking he might be able to use it. And he wanted to find out exactly what she could do with that voice. Now what he needed to do is approach her and befriend her. Then it would be easier for him to find put what he wanted.And he did approach her, a few days later. She came back to that same park to sing again. And he walked over, sat beside her and complimented her on her singing. It started as a pretty simple conversation and slowly grew into something more. After that they would meet at the park at least once a week. Later they started meeting in other places aswell. They would also talk on the phone almost everyday. She liked talking to him and being around him. But he was meeting her for other reasons. She didn't know that . She only learned about a month later. When he told her he wanted her to meet some of his friends. So he asked her to get ready and wait for him at the park when they first met. Which she did. He picked her up and lead her to his car they drove to where his "friends" were. What Melody didn't know was that from that moment on she was trapped.
