CHARMED Fan Fiction: The One He Couldn't Kill
Chapter 1:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Melinda screamed, sitting straight up, shaking in her bed. It was that dream again; the same dream that reentered her unconscious state every night, haunting her sleep. She looked around her room in her tiny apartment, still not quite sure where she was.
"Melinda? You okay?" Came the voice of Julie, her best friend.
"Yeah, Jules. I'm fine." Melinda replied weakly
"Was it the dream again?" Julie asked, coming into Melinda's bedroom.
"Yeah, I can't stop seeing them die. Every single time…. I have to look into their dark, hollow, dead eyes and wonder why it had to happen. I see James's evil smile as he stand next to him. Then I crawl over to mom to hold her, and then he does his laugh, and the ground shakes. Then, they all disappear." Melinda said, shivering
"I know it's tough. I still have to deal with the way James betrayed me. I still can't believe that…my own brother turned against me. After all that we went through…" Jules sighed, holding back the tears
"I know, Jules. I thought he loved me. But I guess that ended when that damn brother of mine talked to him. Wyatt, the all-power, ever-evil. God I hate him. He took everything away. He even killed Chris. How do you do that? How do you kill your own brother?" Melinda said through her tears.
"Awe, sweetie. Come here, it'll be okay" Julie wrapped Melinda into a big hug, and surrendered to the tears threatening to fall, "We can get through this. You're still the most powerful, bad-ass, Halliwell witch around."
"Jules, I'm the only Halliwell witch around" Melinda exclaimed, brushing away her tears
"Well, come on. We still have work to do. Chris wouldn't want us to just hang around and cry." Julie laughed, trying to get Melinda's spirits up, so they could make it through the day. "The Resistance still has to keep going. Even there are no other resisters around; we still have to hang on. Wyatt has to know there is still good out there who will not tolerate his evil ways." Julie encouraged, patting Melinda on the back.
Melinda hiccupped "I just wish I could fix it. Wyatt turning evil, I mean. Then, everything wouldn't be ruined. I could see my family again, me and James could be together, and you and Chris could be together…" she heaved a heavy sigh
"Well, I think I know of a way to make that happen. I think I know a way that will work." Julie said, with a grim smile
"Well….go at it. Shoot. Tell me, because I'm not sure how much more of this I can take." Melinda replied
