Prologue

"Where's Melinda?" Piper asked Leo as she frantically looked for her three year old daughter. She had no powers now since her telepathy was driving her insane so they had to be bound so she couldn't be sensed. "Melinda?! This isn't funny! Where are you!" Piper called out as she searched the park for her daughter. After a while of searching, Piper found her daughter's favorite teddy bear and quickly called the police. it's been 20 years since that incident, Piper and Leo tried to get over their daughter's disappearance, but they couldn't. A phone call changed everything. A phone call that had found where Melinda was, but she couldn't remember a thing. Melinda was now 23 years old. "What? Are you crazy? I'm not your daughter!" the girl said. No matter how much she tried to fight it, DNA never lied, and after unbinding Melinda's powers, she came with them, knowing that she couldn't learn to use her magic on her own. It's been a month since Melinda has returned, and even though things are crazy now, they are about to get a whole lot crazier...espeically with the return of a certain demon that they wished would have remained dead...

Chapter 1

"How could my whole life go to hell in just one month? They seem nice enough, but I wish I could have stayed there...my school was there after all...like I can afford to go to college here? They agreed to pay for some of it, but still, it just feels like charity since I don't know them, I don't even like eating the food they have, it just feels weird..." Melinda thought as she walked around the park. The skies were getting darker, like it was going to rain. She didn't mind, Melinda loved the rain, still she didn't know this area too well so it would have been in her best interest to get herself home. The cool San Francisco air blew against her skin as she looked up at the dark, cloudy skies. No one else seemed to have been around, but Melinda didn't mind. She hadn't been the best looking person, a couple of years ago she had been rather overweight, but she worked her ass off to get to her current healthy weight, she looked great and felt better too, now if only she could stop her binge eating whenever she got upset.

Just as Melinda predicted, it soon begun to rain, and the rains started to get heavy. Lightning struck around her, but Melinda wasn't near talented enough to manipulate the weather so the lightning didn't hit her, so far she could only manipulate it when she was angry, really, really angry. Melinda could also freeze and make things explode, it made up for the fact that she couldn't orb like her brothers could. A demon decided to take advantage of Melinda, who had been stuck in daydream mode as he threw a fire ball at her. It hit the back of Melinda's shoulder as she fell to the ground in pain, she was quickly covered in mud. Melinda looked up to see the demon get vanquished by a simple energy ball. A tall man with dark hair helped her up. Melinda had been praciticing enough with her telepathy to cloak her thoughts somewhat. "M-My shoulder hurts, b-but I'm fine..." she said as she looked up at the man. He was rather hot, at least in her opinion.

"You shouldn't be out here, you're going to catch a cold." the man told her. Melinda blushed as he spoke. "I could say the same for you." Melinda replied. She saw another demon appear behind her savior and her eyes turned as white as snow as she directed a lightning bolt at him and he exploded on impact. Her eyes returned to normal and Melinda brushed a long strand of dark hair from her face. "You're pretty powerful for someone so new at this..." the man replied. "What makes you think I'm new?" Melinda asked him. "You're powers are unrefined, you have trouble controlling them." he informed her. "So it's that obvious is it?" she asked. "Well to someone like me it is..." he told her. "I'm Melinda..." she said as she extended her arm, it had numbed for a minute, but when she extended her arm, the pain became more apparent as she winced in pain. "You shouldn't move that too much, it's burnt pretty badly." he replied. "You can call me Cole..." he told her, because of Melinda cloaking information from him, he couldn't read her, but he couldn't help but flirt around her, it was something about her that seemed so familiar.

"Well thank you...I guess I'll see you later then..." Melinda said, still flirting as she threw a teleportation potion on the ground and teleported herself home. She dressed her injuries since she appeared to be the only one home and put her arm in a sling she had kept since Melinda had sprained her wrist when she was younger. Melinda then went to the Book of Shadows. "Cole huh...sounds familiar...and yet..." she said. Melinda was already falling in love, with someone that she shouldn't of, and it wasn't because he was a demon, it was because he had done unforgivable things to her aunt years before.
