Chapter 1- The Plan

"This is our opportunity Henry…We can finally do something for our family." The boy turns to look at the brown haired girl confused. "What do you mean, Mel?"

"What do you mean, what do I mean? I'm talking about the demon."

Henry shakes his head and stares directly into his cousin's eyes, "The demon, are you talking about the demon that…" Melinda nods, "Yes."

Henry begins to pace around the room back and forth, "We can't, you heard Wyatt and Chris, they're going to take care of that, we can't do it, we don't have the power they have."

Melinda sighs, "I'm their sister and you our cousin, we too have powers, and we too can cast spells. Henry, listen to me… Wyatt said that he and Chris won't do anything until his back from his trip and that can be too late. Wyatt is such an optimist sometimes, and I know that the demon can do so much in so little time….besides all of this is my fault.

Henry walks directly to where Melinda is standing and grabs her by the arms, "That demon held you hostage; this is not your fault, Mel… and you know it."

Melinda shakes her head, "It is my fault. If I hadn't gone out, Wyatt and Chris wouldn't have been forced to…you know. And Henry you know that here is always about Wyatt and Chris is never really about us, we always have to be the protected ones, for once Henry we can take matters into our own hands and show the family that we can be depended on. Not everything has to be solved by Wyatt and Chris."

In his mind Henry knew Melinda was right. It always did bother him that his cousins were always the heroes of the story, but even if it bothered him, he knew that allying himself with Melinda was going to bring a lot of problems. Further, he was afraid of what Melinda was planning he didn't want to risk his or her life. It was not going to be the first time that Melinda had got them in trouble. He and she were close to each other and next to Chris; Henry knew that he was Melinda's favorite person. He was at least going to let her explain her plan.

"So tell me Mel, what's the plan."

This made Melinda smile and she began telling Henry what she had in mind. "Henry, I know you're going to get a little scared when I tell you my plan, but it wasn't my idea it was Chris's idea." Henry gave her a confused look. Melinda continued, "Well Chris doesn't know this but I stole his notebook…you know the one he uses to write down all his demon plans."- Henry nods. - "Well in there he wrote notes about this demon, apparently there's nothing on him in the book of Shadows because he wrote more than usual. According to Chris this demon is not too powerful, but has enough information and knowledge that can destroy us and the life we live now."

Henry stops Melinda for a second; trying to grasp everything she's telling him, "But Melinda the demon went to the past, how are we going stop him?" He asked a little confused.

"That's where Chris's idea comes into play. In his notebook he wrote down a spell…a spell that's supposed to take him and Wyatt to the time and place were the demon landed, so we're going to cast that spell and we'll take Chris's and Wyatt's place.

Henry's mouth dropped, "We're what?"

"We're going to time travel….isn't that exciting?"

Henry shook his head, this time he knew his cousin was going insane. "Melinda we've been told about the dangers of time traveling, we can't do this."

Melinda nods, "Yes we can, besides we've also been told of the benefits of time traveling, remember Chris has been to the past and he apparently changed the future."

"Yeah, I know but it nearly cost him his existence, remember when Uncle Leo finally revealed the story in his example of time traveling, he talked about all the times Chris was about to die in the past and how bad that could of have changed the future in worse ways.

"So are you in or not?" Melinda asked a little irritated. She was sure of what she wanted to do; she owed it to her brothers. She knew it was dangerous but there was nothing that was going to change her mind. It had been her fault and she was going to fix it.

"Ok…I'm in." Henry said after thinking about it. In the end he knew that Melinda was right. He too wanted to show the family that he was capable of handling demons. All he had done was helping future white lighters and that was starting to get boring. Further, he was starting to get excited about the time traveling idea.

"Good…" Melinda responded, "Let me cast the spell, here grab my hand." Reaching out for Henry's hand Melinda began to cast the spell and as she finished the last words she and Henry disappeared into the past.
