'Were late, were late, were gonna be late' yelled Melinda.

'Correction your late, your late, you are late' said Wyatt sarcastically.

'Don't make me slap you so hard that those burned cookies you scarfed down last night will come shooting out of your ….' said Melinda while pouring out some orange juice.

'Hey, hey, hey come on now' interrupted Piper. 'You were meant to be in school 30 minutes ago'.

'Well I would make up some excuse but you wouldn't believe me we'd argue, I'd shout you'd shout and I'd end up with more shifts at P3 like always' Melinda said as she sat down at the table.

Melinda got up to leave and turned around and said 'I'm already like 30 minutes late I might as well ditch the rest of the day of school'.

Piper shouted from behind Melinda 'Melinda I swear to God if you don't…'

As Melinda walked into her room and grabbed her jeans off the floor and long grey jumper. She threw them on and picked up her backpack.

'I'm gone to Magic School, bye' she shouted down the stairs.

'Mom said be back by dinnertime' said Wyatt as he appeared in a flurry of orbs, 'and that if by tomorrow you don't buy an alarm clock or put an alarm on your phone that I get to throw a bucket of water over you'.

'No wonder your so smiley; bye anyway' Melinda replied as she orbed out.

'Hola mis amigos' Melinda greeted.

'Hey Mel' said a smiley Adriana.

'..inda.. you forgot it again' mumbled Melinda.

'I prefer Mel though and may I say buenos días a ti también mi querida amiga' laughed Adriana.

'I have absolutely no idea what you just said' Melinda murmured.

Adriana translated, 'Good morning to you too my dear friend'.

'Sorry but I have to go look up something but I'll chat to you later' smiled Melinda as she slowly walked out the main halls door.

Melinda walked through the halls of Magic School. She knew Magic School like the back of her hand and she spends more of her time here than any other place. Lately Melinda has been trying to get her Mom and Dad to let her transfer to Magic School but they want her to have a normal childhood of fun and normality.

Melinda was sixteen and really wanted to move into a dorm at Magic School but then again she only had two years left in school and then she was free to do whatever.

'I say hey and you say baby, listen to me once and I go crazy' sang Melinda.

'Melinda what are doing here' asked Leo.

'Oh hey Dad I was late school again and instead I decided to do some magical research'.

'And what is that research' asked Leo.

Melinda who was a little preoccupied said, 'Emm was that the class bell I just heard'.

'Ha you're funny and not good at lying' laughed Leo.

'Not lying just dodging and I told you I heard I heard the bell' replied Melinda.

Melinda astral-projected into the office and pushed the button so the bell would ring. She then came back to where she was with her Father.

'Hey how did you do that? That's not your power' questioned Leo.

'Yeah I know but any witch can do it, all you have to do I learn. It's all in the Book of Shadows' explained Melinda.

'Ha, so that's what you do when you're in your off school all the time' said Leo as he left.

Melinda has lately been suffering from abnormal symptoms like super strength, veins running down her face, strong controlling rage and anger issues and most important and weird new found powers like extreme speed, bursts of wind coming from her hands, candles and fires that light when she walks by them. The strangest thing was that she kept finding leaves everywhere.

'Growing leaves, money trees etc….' read Melinda from the index.

She was really getting frustrated and was now getting pissed.

Melinda got up and started shouting at the roof ,' Hey I know your listening and I need your damn help, if you don't answer me I will come up there myself NOW'.

Melinda started searching for a spell that would let her up there. She finally found a page on the Elders but the page was ripped at the bottom.

'Unbelievable ye are, oh I will get up there' Melinda nervously laughed.

She thought of where it could be. There must be another copy other than this one. Melinda thought of all the things she knew about Magic School and then it came to her.

She orbed into her Father's office. Melinda had always wondered what was in the hidden safe. She walked over to the picture on the wall and took it off.

'Okay, okay what could the code be?' asked Melinda.

'Aaahhh yes SAFE DOOR' she called.

'Oh shi…!' she screamed.

Melinda fell to the floor with the safe door on top of her.

'Hi, need any help?' laughed Harley when he opened the door.

'No its cool' said Melinda.

She threw the safe door off of herself and onto the floor with a bang.

'Wow a woman that has no muscles but amazing strength, my kind of lady' laughed Harley.

'Funny and I'm a girl not a lady or woman' said Melinda.

She pushed herself off of the ground and looked into the safe. There wasn't much in it just files and a box. She picked up the box and opened it. There were a couple of scrolls. They were old spells like 'To Call Mother Nature', 'To Conjure the Mortal Evil to Live Again' and finally 'To Go to the Elders'.

She placed the box back in the safe and walked out the door leaving Harley behind.

- Melinda orbed into the attic where Chris was sitting in an armchair fast asleep.

'CANDLES' Melinda said in a low voice.

Out of nowhere 9 candles appeared on the floor in a circle. She stood in the centre of it and took the scroll out of her pocket. She began to say a spell:

'Hand by hand, heart by heart

Help is needed, do your part

Bring me to who I seek, the Elders of good

Need more time, in a flash and a blink'

In a blur of white smoke Melinda appeared in the middle of clouds. She looked around but could not see anything in the fog.

'Hello, anyone there please help me I can't see anything' yelled Melinda.

Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere, 'Come here, take my hand'.

Melinda reached out into the clouds. It was so cold but finally found a hand. She felt the familiar feeling of orbing and then she opened her eyes and she was standing in front of a tall, blonde man in a gold robe. The man was extremely handsome. He had perfect white teeth, blue eyes, square cheekbones, dark blonde hair and pink lips.

'Hi, I'm Melinda, where's your bosses I need to have a word with one of them' she said smiley.

'Hello Melinda' said an unknown voice, 'my name is Burke and I am an Elder who is here to help you'.

'Help me with what?' asked Melinda.

'Your new powers, you were given these powers that control the earth, wind, water, fire and most importantly spirit. You are the new Mother Nature!' explained Burke.

'You have got to be kidding me; yeah the powers are great and all but the responsibility of it. I'm a whitelighter, charmed one, a witch and now I'm freaking Mother Nature. Yipee, Let's have a party' said Melinda who was now freaking out.

'Don't worry' said the unknown whitelighter, 'well not yet anyway'.

'RYKER, no well there is one thing you should know, so you are prepared for what might happen if you receive your full powers' said Burke.

'So I have a choice in the matter, right' said a relieved Melinda.

'Well if you don't receive your powers the world will end because Mother Nature controls everything, who become a witch and who doesn't, who is charge of taking care of nature like fairies, nymphs. Destiny wouldn't be complete if there is no Mother Nature and that is you' explained the whitelighter who was named Ryker.

'Why me though, I mean there is billions of people in this world but why me' said Melinda.

'You killed the last Mother Nature and we're not blaming you or anything but the person who killed her becomes her if she didn't have anyone picked' explained Burke.

'Yeah okay but wasn't she evil and everything' questioned Melinda.

'Let me explain' said Burke, 'You may want to take a seat' he continued.
