Melody Cinders: Supernatural Power

Decent Essays
We all wish we had a supernatural power at some point in our lives right? Not for Melody Cinders. Something's different in this quiet average girl. She was born with powers, powers that make her even more complex. She doesn't know how she gained the ability and is on an journey to find the answer. Secrets don't last forever tho. Someone will find out sooner or later. Well, apart from her best friend Amelia. Until then, she'll use her powers to her advantage. I mean, who wouldn't get away with things if you could pause time? She walks around the room, all is paused but her. Nobody knows what's happening, she can be carefree. Seconds, minutes, hours can pass, but no one will know. For them it's 5:16. Un-pause a friend to talk
