It was a normal day for Octavia until she came home she was outside the front door key in her hand as she reached toward the doorknob she couldn’t help but feel something was off but she was sure what it was. She unlocked the door and stepped in her eyes scanning the living room nothing was out of place visibly the black leather couches were still against the wall, in the left corner the glass coffee table was still in the middle of the table, a loud crash from upstairs and someone yelling.

“Shit!” the unknown voice yelled.

Octavia cringed who was it upstairs and why were they so vulgar had they no class or respect? She wondered before making her way toward the stairs when a piece of paper on the table caught her attention.

She grabbed the paper and brought it to her face to read. Dear Octavia, I’m sorry for not telling you sooner but we have a couple of guests who will be living with us from now on my fiance and her daughter will be living with us now you’ll get to meet Moon Song when we get back. Her daughter should be upstairs so I suggest going and meeting her. Signed your loving father Albert Melody.

As she finished reading the note some footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs.

“That explains a few things.”

Octavia mumbled under breath as she turned toward the stairs in time to see the blued haired figure who must be Moon Songs daughter might as well introduce herself.

“Hello my name is Octavia Melody I’m Albert's daughter. May I ask your name?”

A few minutes passed with no response Octavia feeling she was being ignored repeated herself “I asked for your name, its only common courtesy to give it after being asked.”

As she finished her sentence she noticed the black cord reaching from the blue jeans the person was wearing reach all the way up to her ears which were covered by two tone electric blue hairs her eyes were not visible behind the purple shades which were sitting on her face which was looking at Octavia.

“Oh” was all Octavia could say before the girl in front of her removed her headphones, “Did you say something?” the girl with the electric blue hair said a confused look on her face.

Octavia starting to become slightly irritable at having to repeat herself again, she responded tone sharp and quick.

“Yes I asked for your name and you had those headphones in.”

The girl with the shades responded back “Sorry bout that I have a bad habit of doing that.” A slight smirk played upon her lips as she finished her sentence and began speaking again.

“My name is Vinyl Scratch or you can just call me Dj-Pon3 sis.” The last part of Vinyl’s sentence confused her, sis what did she mean by that? She wondered for a moment before putting her thoughts into words.

“Sis what do you mean sis like sister?’ She asked confusion all over her face, Vinyl rolled her eyes or Octavia assumed she did thanks to the shades covering the eyes of the other, before she got a response.

“Yea I’m your sister well stepsister anyway didn’t you find the note on the table?” Vinyl asked. As soon as the note was mentioned Octavia visibly tensed up a little, this is Moon Songs daughter? I hope her mother is a bit more respectable.

Octavia though before a hand in front of her face moving back and forth brought her out of her thoughts, “Hey earth to Tavi” an all too familiar for voice called out to her.

“What did you just call me?” she asked and eyebrow raised slightly.

“I said Tavi” responded Vinyl as soon as she finished her sentence the front door could be heard opening and two voices could be heard in the living room. The first voice was a male’s the second one which could barely be heard because of how soft it was heard replying shortly after the voices came closer until the owners of the voices were visible to both the occupants in the kitchen.

An older gentleman with a white mustache and white hair which was combed back neatly, following behind him was a woman who appeared to be in her 30s with long blonde hair which reached to about the middle of her back the light reflected of this hair turning it a slight hazelnut color beautiful as she was Octavia still turned to face her father when he began to speak.

“Octavia my dear, I see that you’ve met your stepsister” he said with a chuckle before continuing “And this here is my lovely fiancé Moon Song Scratch,” he said as he motioned to the woman who was standing next to him. “Hello there Octavia, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” She said with a smile on her face before turning to Vinyl “Vinyl honey what have I told you about wearing your sunglasses in the house?” she lightly scolded with a slight frown on her face. Vinyl gave a sigh before removing her glasses “Yes mom I’m sorry.” Vinyl said quietly.

Octavia was surprised to see that the girl’s irises were a lighter shade of maroon. I wonder what else there is about here that I’m going to be surprised with, she though before her father’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Octavia would you be dear and help Vinyl unpack?” “Of course father it would be a delight.” She said with a bit of fake cheeriness she wasn’t quite sure what to think of her new stepsister but she was hoping that maybe by helping Vinyl unpack she might be able to learn a bit more about her.

Her and Vinyl made their way upstairs and walked through the hallway until they were in front of a polished wood door which Vinyl opened. They stepped inside and laid their eyes on the 4 suitcases in the room, 3 were on the bed over top the light blue blanked which adorned the top mattress one of the suitcases however was laying on the floor its contents spilled on the floor; a bunch of vinyl records were laying on the carpet each with noticeable scratch marks on them. "Well let’s get started" Vinyl said with a grin.
