[Mel]
As he slipped in and out of consciousness, Mel could hear the muffled crush of bones and flesh. His ears were ringing, the world swaying all around him. With a groan, Mel put up his elbow to support his body upright. He gathered his senses, trying to remember slowly how he came to be in this situation. It wasn't hard, for everything came to him in a matter of seconds.
They were having dinner as a family, together with Niko and Ivan. Lily thankfully wasn't there, because her mother had wanted to have dinner with her after so long. Tyron came bursting into his home, bringing not three of his usual minions, but twenty of them. They wreaked havoc on their home, beating up everyone present. They didn't even spare Mel's sickly mother.
