If there was anything that young Melody Elpis Amity Jones missed most, it was letting her mother and father hear her say that she loved them. Dea and Charlie Jones were still alive and well, but for some, the same could not be said for Melody. When Melody was three years old, she lost her ability to speak. Doctors could never explain why it happened, but it was speculated that her vocal cords never developed properly, as she had always had trouble making sounds. Years pass, life goes on and Melody is happy despite her situation. Then on the day of her eleventh birthday, she receives a letter with an odd red wax seal and green writing. She was a witch, and she was not about to let her inability to speak stop her.
