A changing future
Prolouge
It was in the middle of the night, the moon was hidden somwhere behind the dark coulds not allowing any light to shine trough. The streets were pitchblack, not that I wasn't used to that already by now. The world has become a dark place a long time ago. When he rose to his power, he took the last of the light with him. For several years, I've stood by helplessly and watched as he brutaly killed one after another, without any sign of remorse over what he had done. The evil had finally overtaken him completly, leaving nothing but a shell of the loving big brother I used to know from my childhood. He had turned into someone I've come to abominate. And the worst part was that he didn't even see it himself. Well, not for much longer. Our resistance group under the leading of Chris had finally come up with a plan to stop all this from happening, to go back and stop whatever happened to him. Or should I say, I would go back and stop it. Once and for all. I took deep breath to prepare myself for the idiotic thing I was about to do, what could very well get me killed if I failed. Then I orbed right into the old attic at the haliwell manor, or should I say museum, taking cover behind some old boxes that was still there. I litfted my head lightly,and looked around for any demonguards of his who might be around. I didn't spot any. The cost is clear. I slowly rose to my feet, afraid of making any loud noises to alert them of my presence. After waiting a few more seconds, I hurried over to the place where a hologram of the book were. It wasn't good enough though, I needed the real thing. Determited, I called for the real Book of Shadows. It appeared a moment later and I hurried to find the time travel spell, knowing that there weren't much time until Wyatt would sense that it was here and show up. He had this place rigged and would know about any magic performed in here. I didn't have much of a choice. Finally, I discovered the paige and read the spell in a low voice;
"Here these words, hear the rhyme heed the hope within my mind
Send me back to where I'll find, what I wish in space and time."
When I'd said the spell, a portal appeared on the wall beside me where I had drawn up the Triquetra. I quickly ripped out the paige of the spell and tucked it into the back pocket of my jeans, closing the book. That way, he wouldn't be able to send someone after me and drag me back to this living nightmare. I had almost reached the portal, when I regognized the sounds of orbs and someone spoke behind me. The voice sent shivers through my spine. Oh, no. This was not got. Not good at all.
"Mel." He sighed, as if he was disappointed in me for some reason. Then again, I suppose he was in a way. He couldn't understand why we refused to join him. He may be evil, but he wasn't totally ignorant, well most of the time anyway. "What is it exactly that you think you're doing?" I pressed my lips hard together and turned around to face the newcomer. His iceblue eyes glared at me with a furious look. No, my brother was not very pleased with me right now.
"I'm saving you from turning evil." I said calmy, managing to keep my voice steady. I discretly took another step back towards the portal as I spoke. I refused to let him see that he could scare me. I've learned from experience to never show your emotions, it only makes it even worse. And I'd hate to give him that satisfaction of getting to me. He didn't notice me moving, but clenched his jaw tightly. What he always does when someone says or do something he finds wrong. I supressed the urge to roll me eyes at him, it would only add to his anger. I couldn't have him lash out yet, then everything would be ruined.
"How many times do I have to tell you people, I don't need saving." He spoke the last word one by one, becoming more and more impatient. "How many times do I have to tell you that there is no good or evil? There is only power, that is all that matters. Admit it, you're planning on betraying me, aren't you? You and Chris want all the power to yourselves. Admit it." His voice became louder as he spoke, practically yelling the last part out. I couldn't help but to flinch a little.
"I'm not betraying you Wyatt, and neither is Chris. I'm going back to keep you from destroying everything, to save you from becoming like this." I shouted back in frustration. Why couldn't he get it trough his thick head that he was in fact evil. Thanks to him, all I had left in this world was Chris. Everyone else was gone.
"Oh Melinda, I truly wish that I didn't have to do this." He sighed once more as the thought saddened him, as if he had any emotions left inside him what so ever.
"Do what?" I asked, stalling to by myself some more time. He liked to talk, alot. Which was sometimes a good thing. I took another step.
"Kill you of course. What a waste though, and Chris will be so upset when he finds out about it. If only you had joined me, we could have been a family again."
"I will never join you Wyatt, you murdered our family. I'd rather die a thousand times than join you." I said, as I watched his evil grin turn into a straight line.
"As you wish dear sister. Please, tell the rest of them I said hi. Maybe we'll see each other again someday." He spoke in an low voice, unforgiving, and lashed out with his arm. I jumped to the side, avoiding his deadly fireball. Only, I hadn't moved fast enough. The fireball hit my shoulder and sent me flying backwards at the strong impact when it collided with me. Right into the open portal, sending me back to the past.
So, I had this idea for a new story. Melinda goes back in time instead of Chris. The question is, what will happen next? Please, let me now what you think and don't hesitate to share your opinions! And, don't forget to R&R!
