B.T.W: I don't own any of the H.O.O characters

Melody's POV

I always thought that I was normal, or as normal as my life could get. My mother had always said the day I was born was the happiest day of her life, but that happiest was soon replaced with worry and fear. She says she can remember it like it was yesterday.

FLASHBACK

All the people in the kingdom gathered around as the priest held me up high.

"Citizens of Costa Luna, we are gathered here today to celebrate the ceremonial birth of our new princess. I present to you, with great honor, princess Melody Clarissa Edwards ". Everyone cheered and clapped as the priest handed me to my mother.

END OF FLASHBACK

I never had the normal childhood my mother had wanted me to have. You know, going to the zoo and the beach, that kind of stuff. I've always wanted to go and explore the kingdom but the closest thing I ever got to going exploring is what I see on my way to school. My mother tried explaining to me that she was doing what had to be done and that she was only trying to protect me from him and by keeping me in the castle all these years, she's not only protecting me, but the whole kingdom. I didn't understand, I was a little princess who knew nothing of her kingdom.

Years past, ever since I could remember every day was the same old same old. I would wake up and show up to royal meetings, just to show up. It's not like I would have anything to say or suggest to fix problems anyways. I don't even know what's happening on in my own kingdom. And when I wasn't in royal meetings I went to a special royal academy, where we were expected to 'surpass the expectations of intelligence'. Translation- 'you better work your asses off or we're going to kick you out the damn school'. It was hard, especially when you can't even read English. Yep, I was dyslexic and life was difficult, but hey, at least I'm alive. But what's the point of surviving if you can't even live? School was the worst. I've always been picked on because I couldn't read 'normally'. It's kind of messed up how that works, huh? People get picked on and teased because they're different but I always thought that differences make people special and unique. I guess I was wrong.

In my spare time I hung out with Dr. Anderson, he was the best technician in the country. He had taught me how to work my way around computers and technology in general. I loved working with the technology, and hacking security systems. It was one thing I'm actually good at. So good apparently, my designs are used for the ongoing war that's currently happening. Now this buys us time, time to figure out our next move. This war its... inevitable, and I'm not gonna lie, our enemies are strong, in size and in numbers but our technical advances in weapons can give enough time to think of a way to win this thing. So that's basically my entire life. Enough about me, now for the good stuff.

There was one day in particular when my life really changed. And it (surprisingly) wasn't for the worst. It finally gave me a chance to do some thing to help my kingdom. My mother had called my to the dinning hall, she said she had something really important to tell me. I got up took a shower and quickly got dressed. I wore my white dress shirt with a red school jacket that had a crest on it, my red and black plaid skirt, my black dress shoes and my Eiffel tower earrings. My long wavy brown hair done in a neat side fishtail braid. As I made my way to the dinning hall I touched my necklace. Its a gold music note and it was given to me by my father when I was a baby. He's not around anymore but royals will make up anything to get out of a messy situation. Anyways, it's all I got to remember him by. I made my way to the dinning hall and greeted my mother.

"Good morning mother" I greeted her as I sat down in my seat to eat breakfast.

"Good morning" we sat in silence for a while before one of the guards rushed in. I recognized him as George, head of security in the castle.

"Your majesty forgive me for interrupting but I have urgent news" George stated out of breath. My mother stepped out of the room. I already knew something bad had happened. I ate my Fruit Loops cereal as my mother left the room. As soon as I was out of sight I got up from the table and poked my eye in the crack of the door.

"What do you mean he's half way across the border!" I heard my mother whisper.

"We're doing everything we can, while doing as you requested and not sending any soldiers out there before we know there's a better chance of winning this war" George muttered.

"You know Cecelia" George said in a hushed tone, giving her a look.

"George...no. I know that look. No...absolutely not. I can't ask her to do that, putting all that pressure and responsibility on her" my mother replied.

"Come on Cecelia, she's our best chance of winning this thing. She's been trained by the best of the best and she's really good at the whole technology thing, plus you've seen what she can do " George pleaded. "All she has to do is make the design and explain where to put what, that's it. No harm done" George explained. I sighed. All this trouble and violence over some psycho, power hungry dictator. My hand accidentally slipped and pushed the door open widely. I lost my balance and fell right in front of my mother and George. They glanced down at me.

"Um..hi" I said sheepishly. My mother raised an eyebrow.

"Were you eavesdropping on us?" my mother tried keeping her firm look while speaking. I gave them a nervous smile.

"Um...well, you see...what had happened was- it's actually a really funny story..." I gave a 'what can I say' look. "I'm, what's the word...curious". George chuckled at my comment.

"Well, you know what they say, honey, curiosity killed the cat" she said, a mischievous smile spread across her face.

"Ha Ha, very funny" I said sarcastically.

"Okay, spill, what did you hear?" George asked.

"Let's just say I heard enough to know that I can help you possibly win this war. I just need an 'Okay' from mother and I can get started" I glanced at my mother, who had an uneasy look on her face.

"I don't know about this guys" she said.

"Oh come on, I'm just as involved in this war situation as any of you" my mother had a confused look on her face. "That's right mother I know what's going on around here, I have my connections, *cough*, George, *cough*."

"In my defense, she is really good at convincing people to do what she wants" George stated, holding his hands up in defense.

"Pretty please, with cherries on top" George and I begged, giving her puppy dog faces.

"Okay,okay just stop with the puppy dog faces" she smiled. George and I high-fived.

"Works every time" I said confidently.

"You two are just lucky you're so cute" George blushed at my mother's comment. I looked from my mother to George and back and they were looking at each other funny, but in a good way.

"Okay then..." I said awkwardly. "I'm just gonna go to school now...so...um bye..."
