Disclaimer: I do not own these characters I am simply using them.
Note: Well, thank you for reading my story. I would love it if you would review! Anyway, back to the story.
(Background: Long ago when Melinda was only 10 years old she was kidnapped by a demon. She was almost killed but her Mother and aunts found her just in time for her father to heal her. Ever since that day both her parents and her brothers (and of course her aunts) refused to let her go any where near a demon vanquish. (Change of subject) Phoebe and Coop where married and had three beautiful girls, Payton 18, Patricia (Patty for short) 16, and Penelope (Nelly for short) 13. Paige and Henry also had three children, Dustin 17, and twins Bethany and Emily 14. Presently Wyatt is 23, Chris is 21, and Melinda (Mel for short) is 19. Okay I think that is all you should really know before you start the story. Have fun.)
Wyatt is in the kitchen making a potion as the space near him fills with blue orbs. When he looks up he sees a some what short girl with medium length light brown hair that curled ever so slightly at the end. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just made her eyes pop. She had bright blue eyes and inside then there was what looked like an explosion of dark blue.
"Hey, what are you making" asked the girl, as she walked around the island to look over Wyatt shoulder.
"A vanquishing potion," he said as he added another ingredient. "And no, Melinda, you can't come."
"Oh, come on Wyatt please!!!" Melinda said as she gave him her puppy dog eyes. "Mom and dad never have to know."
"No, even if they didn't know, I still would, and you know how much I hate lying to mom and dad."
"Please! I never get to go."
"Yeah, and we both no why."
"I can defend myself." pleaded Melinda.
"No, you can't, you don't have an active power, remember." Wyatt said as he walked to the cabinet to get potion bottles and corks. "Feeling how the demon feels is not going to help you stop them from killing you."
"Well, Aunt Phoebe did have an active power for a long time." Retorted Melinda.
"Maybe so, but you are not Aunt Phoebe."
"Well, I…..I….I can heal. That's an active power."
"I know that but it's really not going to help you because for one you can't heal yourself and for the other its not going to stop a demon."
"I am never going to win, am I." Melinda said in a sad low voice.
"I am sorry to say, no." Wyatt turned to his sister and pulled her in to a big hug. "I know you really want to go but you just can't."
"Its sad to say but I know." After a long pause Wyatt let go of his sister. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"At the moment no, but next time you can help me make the potion."
"Okay, I guess that is better then nothing. So where's Chris, I mean he is going with you right?" asked Melinda.
"Yeah, he had to do something real quick. He should be back real s…." Wyatt was cut off by his brother who was orbing in.
"You guy talking about me?" Chris asked once he had orbed into the kitchen.
"You wish." Replied Melinda.
"So is the potion done?" Chris asked his brother as grabbed a glass of water and drank it.
"Yes, you ready?
"As I'll ever be." Replied Chris. "Did you tell mom and the aunts where we are going? You know just in case."
"No, not yet. I'll go call mom." Wyatt walked to the living room to grab the phone and call his mom. She picked up after the second ring. He told her what was going on. Meanwhile in the kitchen Chris and Melinda where talking.
"So, how are you and Bianca doing?" asked Melinda. Chris looked down with a big sigh and then looked back up.
"Not to good." Replied Chris in a heavy tone.
"Why, what's wrong."
"I don't know. Its like she is so ready for our relationship to take the next step, but I am just….not ready for that, and I really don't think that…..she's the One."
"Well, there is nothing wrong with not being ready to move on. Maybe you and Bianca aren't meant to be."
"I know it just that well….after mom and dad told us about the other Chris and how him and Bianca where engaged….I just thought that was my destiny."
"No, Chris, that was his destiny, the future was different then. So you don't have to…..fallow in his foot steps. You need to make your own."
Chris looked up at his sister. She always knew what to say and she always gave him good advice. He was so thankful that he could talk to her and he knew that no matter what she was there to help him. Chris walks to his sister and embraces her in a big warm hug.
"Thank you." Chris told his sister finally released her from the hug.
"You're my brother; you know I am always here to talk to when you need me." Melinda smiled and looked up at her brother. Soon after Wyatt walked back into the kitchen.
"Okay, I told mom what's going on. You ready?" Wyatt said as he looked at his brother.
"Yeah." Chris looked back at Melinda. "We should be back in 30 minute maybe an hour."
"Oh, okay. I guess, I'll see then. Be careful." Said Melinda as her two brothers orbed out.
Once her brothers where gone, Melinda grabbed a soda and walked to the living room. She sat on the couch and started to channel search. After an hour and a half had passed Melinda started to get very worried. It never took her brothers that long for a vanquish. Melinda got up and walked to the phone. She called her mom but it went strait. So she called her aunt Phoebe and her phone also went strait to voice mail. That is when Melinda knew there was something wrong. She called her dad, her aunts, her uncles and her 6 cousin, but all the called went strait to voice mail. Melinda didn't know what else to do so she stared yelling for them.
"DAD! DAD!...CHRIS! CHRIS!...WYATT! WYATT!...ANYBODY!!!!!"
