Chapter 1 Something Wicked Comes this Way

Melody, generally is not a people person. If she had it her way, she wouldn't have to interact with anyone. All she would have to do was just live among books reading whatever literature comes her way. Unfortunately for her, Melody had to be able to stand people from time to time for work and to get the stuff she needs to survive. For her, people were nothing but selfish unreliable and just plain vulgar, whereas the books were innocent things to enjoy. The books did not make loud noises, did not have horrible manners, and did not get on her nerves.

To protect her sanity, Melody managed to find a job working in a bookstore. There she could easily hide down an aisle and lose herself in a book. All her job required was minimum interaction with others when they purchased a book and shelving the newest books. The island she lived in too was an almost quiet town. Almost except when the marines or pirates decide to stop by to visit. Then everything got so chaotic that it made Melody want to rage.

Today Melody tried once again to ignore people and stay in the realm of books. Tried being the keyword since suddenly an explosion happened outside causing the walls to shake and the books to fall from the shelves. Today must be one of the days that Melody could not ignore people. Another explosion occurred causing more rattling. This time, it made a hole in the wall of the bookstore Melody worked out causing some books to be destroyed right before her eyes.

MY BOOKS! I'll kill them whoever did this, Melody thought marching out of the bookstore. How dare they take ruined my precious books!?

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates. Someone catch them. "

"1 million berries for Straw Hat Luffy!"

That was another reason Melody didn't like people. They were so selfish they only thought about making money. Greedy jerks. Suddenly she heard someone shout, "Hey book girl move away." It took her a minute to realize someone was shouting at her. Before she could move though, a red and yellow blur rammed into her causing her to fall back into a bookshelf causing the world to fade away with one thought going through her head. I hate people.

Thank you for reading Chapter 1. I'm newish to writing fanfictions so still working out where this story will go. Feel free to review, comment or give suggestions on how I should go about with this story.
