Threat

I'm staring up at the ceiling of my bedroom, destroying my mind with thoughts. I play around with my mother's or should I say, Anahita's necklace. Maybe I should now think of it as my necklace.

Anyways, it has been 2 months since my birthday. Ha....half of it, I don't even want to remember.
Daniel's 15 birthday is coming up. It's on the 28th of May, which is next week.
His parents are planning on a birthday party for him, it'll mostly be family & family friends but, still, 💯
I wanna give him a gift. Something amazing, but not too flashy. And also home-made.....Think Melody! Think!
"Ugh!", I say aloud, entwining my fingers as I put my hands over my forehead.
"Wait....necklace......that's it!💡💡", I whispered aloud now realizing what I should get him. A bracelet! It's simple but an great accessory, and...I could make it!
I stand up from my position on the bed.

I head over to this little box on my desk where I keep my string, beads, leather strings, stones, really, anything that has to do with designing your own necklace, bracelet, earring, or ring.

After spending exactly, 18 minutes of finding the materials I needed, I went over everything.
Ok...I have 3 long pieces of brown leather string, a couple of carved silver beads, & a pair of pliers from the tool box my brother keeps in the basement. I'm ready.

I started doing the work, I started putting the silver beads through each leather string. Not really making a pattern, I thought it'd be more appealing that way.
After I was done putting the beads through, I braided the 3 leather strings, in a bit different way, it was a bit harder, literally.

Now, on the braided leather string, on each end, I grabbed a huge carved silver bead & crushed it down with my teeth to assure that the braid stays in tact.
With the pliers, I cut the uneven ends of the leather bracelet.
I did a double knot on both ends after the crushed beads & left a little hole on both.
I grabbed a twisted needle that had no pointy ends. I chained it on one end.
I found it on the floor a few months ago so I just brought it into my collection. Never thought it'd be useful one day, huh?

After 2 and a half hours, I was finally finished with Daniel's bracelet. I hope he likes it......

I was so impressed with what I did,🙃I decided to put it in my secret little space in the wall

I was so impressed with what I did,🙃I decided to put it in my secret little space in the wall.
I have a mini boxed shaped hole near my bedside. It had a wall door, so I could open & close it.
It blends with the wall so, it looks like nothing's there & no one could ever find the secret space.

I opened the little door & put the bracelet within.
I put it on top of my dairies that I've had my entire life.🤐🤐🤐I have it stored in the little crawl space just in case anyone came snooping around my stuff.
I closed the mini door.

I cleaned up my mess & put any extra beads in my little box again.

I go into the basement & put the pliers back into the tool box.
I head back into the house & go up to my room.
Yaya & Riky are still at work & won't be back in a few hours.
I decided to watch some movies on my tablet.

Just when I was about to get comfortable, I hear a knock at the door.

(Knock Knock)

Who the hell could that be?.........
I ran down the stairs & stopped midway to make sure.

(Knock Knock)

Ok....Melody...just breath....at least it's not your imagination playing wit u.......

I lower my head, & quickly/quietly, head to the kitchen & grabbed a knife🔪from the drawer.

As I head closer to the door, I kept raising the knife. The person kept knocking on the door.
I looked through the peek hole & saw nobody there.
Shit....I'm scared.........no! Just hold the knife close to u................

I open the door & brung the knife down as I looked around.
Nobody was there? Ugh.....I hate it when people play jokes.....they need to grow the fuck up........Oh wait...............
I looked down at my feet & saw a note.📜📜📜
It was perfectly folded & had words written in the front.

Melody

They were written in big, bold perfectly neat ink pen cursive writing.

I grabbed the note & took one last good look around the front.
I closed the door & went to the kitchen to put the knife away.

After I did that, I head upstairs with the note in my hands.
It looked like rough, old golden sandpaper.📜📜📜

As I enter my bedroom, I sat down my chair next to my desk & unfolded📜the letter.
It was a whole page letter:

Melody,
My Dearest niece, Melody. It is I, Clamel, your uncle, who is writing to you. It has come to my attention that you know the truth. And.....that you know that I want that necklace of yours. Everything about you, your mother, your father, your siblings, is the truth. I hear that you've met those filthy mutts of the Anima clan, but, you refused their offer. Now I know that you would not take up my offer of joining the Potens clan...you are just like your mother, did you know? I will have that necklace. And I will use any means necessary......that includes that beloved boyfriend of yours & your "friends", even your siblings, Elbia & Riky. I will have no trouble having my people deal with them. But, there is one way you could avoid this from happening.....by joining my clan & handing over the necklace or begin a war between you & I & I will take the necklace by force. Of course, u wouldn't join me so, if u were to take the war choice, you would have to leave your brother & sister & friends behind & fight in the shadows. I warn you...any contact with them whatsoever, they will die. Now, I know if u did pick that choice, that you would crawl over to the Anima clan. But know this Melody.....if u do side with them, the Potens clan & Anima clan will fight for that necklace. There will be bloodshed between the two clans, so you would be risking the lives of that entire clan of idiots. But, I know that they will still fight for you, I mean you are the true alpha wolf.........So, what will it be my beloved niece, granting bloodshed towards your friends or fight a war in the shadow of the moon? Your choice, your move.
~ Clamel, Alpha of Potens

As I read through the letter, I could feel anger & sadness rising up inside me.
My friends will die if I don't fight......but, if I do.....I can't see them anymore......it'll be too hard & Clamel will kill them.......what should I do?.........

I hold the letter in my hands & carry a burden on my shoulders..........
