Nothing. She had been looking for hours and she could not find a single thing that would help her find the Grimwa. What was she going to do?
"Come on Think, Think!" Melinda said to herself. "I got it! I have to start at the bottom with some low level demon and find out what he knows and see if he can point me in the right direction. Um….now all I need to do is find a lower level demon. I guess I could scry for him."
Melinda walks over to a shelf where she grabs the map and the crystal. She put the map on the table then takes the crystal and starts swinging it in a circular motion. After about a minute the crystal finally dropped. Melinda looked at the map and knew exactly where she was going. For the first time in her life she was going to dealing with a demon, torchering it until it broke. She was very excited but scared at the same time. She quickly grabbed some crystal and orbed to where the crystal had landed. She was in a small dark ally that had and awful garbage stench. That's when she heard a scream. She quickly ran around the corner and saw the demon getting ready to kill a young woman. Melinda put down two crystals behind the demon then orbed to the side where the girl was standing and put down the other two crystals. Both the demon and the girl looked very confused.
"Hi my name is Melinda Halliwell and I am going to be the one saving you today." Said Melinda in a very happy, perky voice.
"Did you just say Halliwell?" Asked the girl.
"Yes, yes I did. Now if you where smart you would leave right now." Without a word the girl ran off.
"What do you want?" asked the demon.
"Some answers." Replied Melinda.
"What are you talking about?" the demon asked.
"I want to know how I can find the Grimwa." Said Melinda.
"Sorry, but I can help you."
"Oh, really." Melinda said as she took a step forward. She quickly thought of one of her most painful memories and the demon suddenly screamed out in pain.
"What did you just do to me?"
"I made you feel my pain, and believe me I can make it worse."
"Look I don't know….." the demon yelled out in pain again.
"Don't lie to me." Melinda said as she stepped forward again. However not noticing the fact that she had knocked one of the crystals out of place. The demon suddenly came flying at her. He pushed him up against the wall and started chocking her.
"Let me show you pain WIT…" the demon suddenly when up in flames letting go of Melinda. She was in shock what the hell just happened. That wasn't her……. was it. That's when she looked up and saw…..HIM.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Melinda asked angrily.
"What no Thank You for saving my life Derik." He asked. Melinda and Derik had know each other for many years. The two of them went to school together. However, over that 12 years they had never really got along. They would fight constantly.
"I was just fine; it was only a matter of minutes before I….."
"Died."
"Oh shut up. You still didn't answer my question. Why are you here?"
"I heard some noise down here when I was walking by so I decided to come check it out and low and behold who do I find….You. What are you doing with a demon anyway, where are Chris and Wyatt?"
Melinda's face just went blank. At first she was going to lie but she changed her mind. "Well, on there last vanquish they where captured by the Source and now I am trying to get them back."
"By yourself, where are your mom and aunts?"
"With Wyatt and Chris."
"Oh."
"Yeah, and you just killed my hopeful lead."
"Well…….I……..I just trying to help."
"That may be true but you didn't. Look I have to go and find a new demon to interrogate. Bye." Melinda started to walk away.
"Wait, stop!"
Melinda turned around. "What?"
"I want to help."
"What?" Melinda said a little surprised.
"Please, let me help. You can't do it a lone." Melinda stared at him for a minute just thinking before she finally said "Fine, but I am running the show."
