“Hello Prince Hydron. Have you been well?” Melody spoke calmly, her eyes shut. She didn’t want to look at him. It had been years since she last seen him and she had no intentions of going back to the past. Spectra glanced from Melody to Hydron. He sat smirking in his chair, Hydron knew something he didn’t know, and it bothered him greatly.

He had brought Melody just as Hydron had asked him, just a little sooner then planned, plus Rayn. Two new possible recruits. He could see the potential of Meoldy’s Bakugan and he knew that’s Hydron wanted Melody. Rayn on the other hand, her Bakugan didn’t seem like anything special. Helios could easily beat hers, he was beginning to question his prince’s sanity.

Prince Hydron chuckled to himself looking the two girls over. He knew Melody from his childhood. The two were so very close in those days.

Melody walked slowly next to her father, clutching his leg as they entered the large building. She wasn’t sure where they were or why they were here. Her father only said he wanted her to meet someone. She just hoped it wasn’t like the last time and she got drug along to family members houses only to be forgotten as the adults talked about money.

Her father walked her into a room full of toys which instantly perked her up. For once maybe she’d enjoy meeting someone knew, if they were around her age of course.

“Melody, meet Hydron. He’s a prince” her father said pushing her forwards as a young blonde boy came out of no where to greet her. He had bright purple eyes full of mischief. He came running up to greet her.

“Hello, you must be Melody. My father had spoke of you often.” he spoke well for a child his age, much like she did. It was hard to believe they were as young as they were. A mere 4 years old.

“Yes, that is my name.” she smiled huge, this would be her first real friend if things went well. He returned her smile, twirling his golden hair in his fingers, staring at her. “Are all theses toys yours?” she asked glancing around.

“Mhm” he replied grabbing her hand and pulling her towards some. She eagerly walked with him, joining in on the game he had been playing before she had showed up.

The two played for hours and hours, getting along splendidly. But like all good things it had to come to a end. Melody’s father came retrieving her as they left. But that wasn’t the last time she’d seem him. In fact the two then met almost every night at his house or hers to play till they were 5. And she found out WHY she had been first brought to him.

“Melody” Hydron shouted as she entered his room. He always had more things to her and it always seemed to amaze her. She herself had a lot, more then most, and he had even more then her. What a fortunate child. “I have great news.”

“And what is that Hydron?” she asked taking her coat off. It was still rather large on her, but didn’t care. It was a gift from her father, his yearly gift. He always provided her with a new jacket each birthday, and always made from nothing but the best. He gestured for her to come over to him, which she did happily.

“My father has agreed” he stated, turning his back to her. He had been getting more and more distant as the month went by. He never wanted to play games anymore. Melody gave him a questioning look, as she didn’t know what he was talking about. “You can be my princess.” Melody stared at him in shock. Was this his way of telling her, she was just another toy to him. Didn’t she get a say in it at all?

“Hydron what are you talking about?” she questioned him sitting down on a chair that was to the side of him. “I don’t want to be your princess.”

“And why not? You were always happy to be when we played our little games.” he turned his attention to her. She wasn’t looking at him, how could she? “Don’t you want your dream to be fulfilled?” she gave him a warm smile before standing from her seat.

“Hydron. I’m to young to be anyone’s princess. So I will have to decline your offer as sweet as it maybe.” she began walking away from him to retrieve her jacket, but he grabbed her wrist half way there. She have him another questioning look.

“You will not refuse me Melody. I always get what I want” he spoke in a sinister tone that frightened her. She wondered if this was his true nature. Her mother had told her before that men always hide there true colors, and she was beginning to understand what she meant. She pulled her arm out of his grip once again making her way to her jacket to again be stopped by him. This time he got in front of her blocking her path.

“Hydron let me go. I do not wish to be your princess. Now if you will excuse me.” she tried to make her way around him but her grabbed her bringing her into a tight embarrass.

“Go now if you wish but you WILL see me again” he let her go retreating to his place near the chair she had been sitting in. Melody stood there for a moment before leaving his room.

By the time she had made it out of his place it had gotten dark and began to rain. Her butler walked with her threw the rain, carrying her umbrella for her as they walked down the streets. Luckily she didn’t live to far from Hydron. But as she walked down a deserted street something caught her eye in a alley way. She left the safety of her umbrella allowing the rain drops to hit her. She slowly walked into the alley way un afraid of what ever it was.

What ever it was began to back away from her smacking into what ever was in the alley way. She couldn’t see well in the rain as it was a hard down pour, but what ever it was she had to know, even with her Butlers protests. She followed what ever it was to the end of the alley way till she was just a few feet away and that’s when she finally found what it was that had tried to get away from her.

A little girl, around her own age, in nothing but rags. Melody stared at her wide eyed, why was a child out in this rain? She called her butler over to help her with the young girl, leading her back to her home. The girl didn’t say any words as they brought her in and dried her off and Melody began to wonder if she was even able to speak.

“Do you have a name?” Melody asked holding the young girls hand. The girl kept her gaze to the ground shaking her head no. “Can you speak?” this time the girl looked up at her and Melody got a good look into her eyes. She’d never seen two colored eyes like this girls eyes. It reminded her of the night sky with the blue’s slowly made there way to the center of her eyes mixing into pink.

“A little” she spoke softly looking into Melody’s eyes. Melody smiled warmly at her before grabbing her hand, pulling her into her bedroom before throwing some clothes at her. The young girl looked at Melody then the clothes confused. “Go change please. Your attire is not appropriate for a young lady.” the young girl nodded before she went into the bathroom changing.

Once she came out Melody smiled as she watched the young girl came out newly dressed. She called the girl over to her bed, where Melody was waiting. The girl walked slowly over to her timidly.

“My name is Melody.” the young girl nodded sitting down next to Melody. “You don’t have a name….We should think of one.” the girl instantly perked up smiling. “Hmmm since I found you in the rain why don’t we call you Rayn? Just spelt with a Y instead of a I”

“Rayn” the girl repeated smiling a big toothy grin. “What is Y or I?” Melody looked at her shocked. This girl didn’t have a name, well now she did, and she didn’t know what the letters Y and I were.

“There letters. Don’t you know the alphabet?” Rayn shook her head no, blushing in embarrassment. “Then I shall be your teacher.” Rayn instantly beamed at her.

“You…Friend?” Rayn asked. Melody nodded her head yes before standing to get the tools she’d need to teach Rayn everything she, herself, knew.

That day had been a terrible but happy day. She had lost her best friend but gained a new one. Either way Melody wished to never seen Hydron again.

“I see you have been well” he said as he stood from his chair. Rayn instantly shot back behind Melody. She was getting a terrible vibe from this prince. He chuckled as he approached. Melody stood her ground next to Spectra, who stared at the three, unsure on what to do. Hydron took Melody’s hand in his smiling warmly at her. “I told you, you’d come back to me” he murmured before releasing her hands. “Take them to some of the spare rooms.” Spectra bowed before complying.

He lead them out of the room stopping just outside the door way. There stood another male. He had large green eyes with long blue hair dressed in a orange coat. Neither girl paid any mind to him, he seemed like a worm.

“Master Spectra! Welcome back” his voice was less then appealing to either of them. Spectra offered him a smirk nodding. Rayn wanted nothing to do with either of them, she wondered if she’d get to go back….home, if you could call it that. Melody on the other hand was curious about this all, despite the fact that she’d have to deal with Hydron.

“Gus” Spectra started shifting his gaze to Rayn. “Show her to a spare room.” Rayn flinched under his gaze. Gus sighed before complying. He began to walk off down the hall, Spectra going the other direction. Rayn clutched Melody’s hand, staring at her.

“Don’t worry Rayn” she gave Rayn’s hand a squeeze. “It’s the beginning of our journey.” Rayn didn’t know what she was talking about but gave a slight nod. Melody gave a small smile before releasing Rayn’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll see you in the morning.” and she followed Spectra down the hall. Rayn just watched till they turned down a hall and she could no longer see them. She then turned to Gus who hadn’t stopped to wait for her. She didn’t think about it before running after him, even if she didn’t want to.

“What is Master Spectra thinking” she heard Gus mumbling to himself. “Bringing worthless people here.” Rayn finally stopped next to him, he instantly shut up. Rayn kept her gaze away from him, as she could feel him glaring at her.

“My names Rayn” she offered a small timid smile but he instantly wiped that smile off her face with a colder glare then before.

“I don’t care what your name is” he snapped. Rayn wanted to run away from him, far, far away from him but if she did that she’d most likely get lost, and wander all the various halls.

“I-I’m sorry. I-I just th-thought we should introduce yourselves s-since we’ll be on a team” this time Gus stopped glaring down at her, freezing her in her tracks. He was so cold to her, was it normal or had she said something wrong.

“Team!?” he shouted “ Team?! As if you are worthy of being in the Vexos! You or the other one” Rayn flinched, cowering away from him. She didn’t want to say anything but he seemed to be waiting for a reply to his out burst.

“T-the prince s-said-” she didn’t get to finish. He stormed off growling, going back the way he had come. Rayn stood there not sure of where to even go. Things were not looking good for her.

Melody followed Spectra down the halls, second guess if she should have let them split Rayn and her up. All the walls seem the match the last as they turned down several different ones. There was no way she could find her way back now.

“You knew Prince Hydron?” Melody jumped slightly as Spectra broke the silence. She wasn’t expecting him to speak. He was looking at her but she knew he was interested if not only a little.

“Yes Prince Hydron and I were friends, when we were much younger.” she spoke in her normal manner despite the bitter feelings she held for him. Spectra ‘oh’ his eyes shifting to her. “You could say we were one another’s first friend.”

“What went wrong?” he questioned, as if he really had to ask. He knew the prince well, and knew how he treated people.

“Hydron decided to assume things. Strange really. We had such a great time playing our little games of hide and go seek, or with our toys. We talked about our dreams for when we were older but some where down the lines he decided I was to be one of his prizes, like the toys his father gave him. I could not allow myself to be so….so…. Disrespected, not even a prince.” she paused seeing that Spectra had stopped at a door way. He hit a button and the door opened wide.

“Ladies first” in a mocking tone, he gestured for her to go in first. She walked in stopping at the door way looking at him.

“Thank you” she smiled just slightly noticing how much taller he was then her. A good few inches, his wild hair just adding to it. “When will I be allowed to see Rayn once again?” she walked in looking around her new room.

This room was large, not as large as her own bed room, but it was quaint. The walls were a light blue gray color, a bed in the center of the room, nothing out of the ordinary really. Nothing to mark as someone’s room. She walked in farther stopping at the bed, turning to look at him.

“Soon enough” he walked stopping a good distance away from her. “Don’t worry about your little friend, she’ll get her accommodations. You MAY see her in the morning” he put emphases on may making her wonder what he meant. He chuckled before heading out again. “The bathroom is in the room to your right. You will find clothes in the closet to your left….Our prince has taken the liberty of getting some things for you.” Melody’s eye brow raised as she headed to the closet to see what Hydron had gotten her. Her eye twitched as she looked some of the clothes over. Spectra chuckled from behind her. She didn’t jump this time knowing he was rather mysterious like that. “Do you not approve of them?”

How could she? Most of them were dresses, very reveling dresses. Short skirts and tight tops. Melody could slap that prince for daring her to even look at such clothes, her mother would have her head if she caught her in clothes like these. One in particular stood out. A short black dress, it wouldn’t even reach past her knee, had no straps with lace trimming along the edges. Why would he even want her in such clothing?

“I do not” she had to bite her tongue. She was tempted to take her frustration out on Spectra but he had done nothing wrong so she contended herself. “I will not wear any of these.” she began going threw them throwing them over her shoulder as she inspected each one. As she began to toss them over her shoulder Spectra was forced to move out of the way, or be buried in clothes. The choice was obvious.

Spectra chuckled taking a seat on her bed watching as she went threw the clothes. Nothing seemed right for her as her floor was soon covered in clothes. She sighed in frustration as she finished going threw them.

“What does he take me for? A common whore? Such clothes are not appropriate for me.” she snapped, in a huff, turning to face Spectra. He sat with a playful smirk on her new bed. “Please inform the prince that I will require new clothing” he stood up finally going to the door again. He stopped in the door frame looking back at her.

“I’ll be back in the morning” He said before exiting her new room completely. Melody glared at the clothes scattered threw out the floor. He was going to give that prince a piece of her mind when she seen him next. But her anger soon faded as her thoughts went to Rayn. Had she made it to her room? Was she safe? Melody refused to think her dear friend wasn’t safe, she did have Sisi after all. He protect Rayn in a heart beat. She took a deep breathe before taking her place on her bed, removing her jacket first of course. And soon drifted off to sleep.
