And again, thank you to my reviewers. I won't make this long, I shall just get on with the story. Enjoy!
This Isn't You
Once the potion was finished, Chris took it up to the attic, he knew that Piper did not want to see her daughter the state that she was in. He knew she had put up with finding out Wyatt was the Source of All Things Evil in an alternate timeline, and had watched Wyatt turn evil six years ago, and she could not go through everything again with her only daughter.
As Chris got to the attic, he saw Leo, Wyatt and Bianca all stood around Melinda's cage.
"How is she?" He asked as he got closer to see her sat down, looking bored.
"Chris, you're back," Melinda smiled as she saw the love of her life, "These three are boring me to death."
"Well I've got a potion I want you to take."
But Melinda refused, he had to try and get to her conscience, it was the only way he would convince her to take the potion. He knelt on the floor, directly in front of Melinda, and looked into her hazel eyes.
"Melinda, please baby," Chris whispered, "I want to help you and this potion will do." He saw Melinda's eyes soften.
"Chris…please save me."
Chris pulled a crystal away, much to Wyatt and Leo's dislike and got closer to her. He hugged her and kissed her black hair.
"Please Mel, please take this baby."
Melinda nodded her head, hoping that it would stop the evil. Taking the potion from Chris, she drank it in one.
"Melinda?" But her hair was still black. Chris pulled back and put the crystal back.
"Why has it not worked?" Wyatt asked, "That was what mom used on me, right?" Chris nodded his head and then explained that it was a different situation. Wyatt's body had been taken over from the smoke he inhaled when he turned evil, he did not know what he was doing, Melinda on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing.
"We have to kill the demon." Chris looked at his older brother, earning a laugh from Melinda.
"You think that will stop me?"
That was not what Chris thought, he had an idea of stopping Melinda, but first he needed to vanquish the demon so he did not come back.
"Ok, you know about the demon?"
"Lower-level, we don't even need potions."
Wyatt nodded, he was seeing his younger brother in a different light. He was starting to take control, Melinda's love was bringing something good out of Chris.

After finding where Faroth's lair was, Wyatt and Chris orbed in to face him.
"Well, I wasn't expecting you two," Faroth looked at the brothers, "Not just yet anyway."
Wyatt eyed the demon that was responsible for his sister turning evil, fighting a battle with herself and losing unfortunately. He did not speak to Faroth, he just threw an energy ball at him. Faroth dodged the energy ball, but only just.
Chris walked towards the demon and telekinetically threw him into a wall. He held his hands out, shooting Elder bolts at the demon, while Wyatt threw energy balls at him.
Both the brothers stopped, as they saw the demon scorched.
"This won't help your sister." Faroth told the boys as he was vanquished.
Chris knew that would not help, it was a potion, not a spell, but he knew what would. He heard the sound of a crash behind him. As he turned he saw Wyatt throwing a cauldron into a wall.
"Wyatt!" Chris called to his older brother, trying to keep his temper under control, "Wyatt!" This time, Chris grabbed his shoulders, making his older brother look him in the eye, "We can save her."

Leo paced the attic floor, watching his daughter carefully.
"Leo?" he heard a faint voice from the door. He looked to see Piper there, "She's like this because of us, isn't she?" Piper ran to her husband crying.
"No…it's not because of us." Leo soothed his wife, but wondered the same thing. If they had been more understanding of Chris and Mel's relationship maybe she would not be giving into the evil that was taking over her body, but he did not want to admit that to Piper.
As orbs filled the room, Leo looked up hoping it was going to be their sons, but it was Paige.
"Paige?" Piper looked at her youngest sister, "Please tell me you have something."
"There's nothing Piper," Paige shook her head, "There's everything about curses and spells, but nothing about potions."
"You can't turn me back, Paige." Melinda said coldly from the cage, "You'll never turn me back."
"How can you be so cold?" Bianca piped up from Aunt Pearl's couch. She had stayed quiet while Wyatt was not there, but now could not help herself. She was a demon herself , well a phoenix so was considered a demon, and had never spoken to anybody the way Mel was talking to her family.
"Where's Phoebe?" Paige asked the eldest Halliwell.
"Down stairs, she's writing a spell to see if that works."
"No need for a spell." She heard a voice and then saw her two sons orb into the room. She could see the anger in Wyatt's eyes but Chris smiled. Had he found something out from being in the Underworld?
As soon as everybody stopped asking questions he walked to the cage, looking his sister in the eyes.
"I know you think you're evil, actually I know right now you are evil, and I've just figured out why."
"Enlighten me." Melinda smirked at her lover, partly wondering whether he knew something she did not.
"This isn't you Melinda, and I know you're trying to fight it, but you're fighting a losing battle because you think you're alone. You think you've been alone for the past month, nobody understanding what you're going through? Thinking you were evil because you caused your miscarriage, but news flash Melinda the baby was going to be evil. You did the right thing."
"I thought you said that the baby could have been good?"
"The baby could never have been good." Chris finally admitted what he knew was true, "But you Melinda, are. You did the right thing getting rid of the baby, and ok, yeah it hurts, but we vanquish evil and you did."
Chris looked to see Melinda starting to cry, it was working. Chris moved a crystal away, deactivating the cage and moved to his sister.
"I love you Melinda, and I always will, no matter what you do. I haven't been the best of guys this past month, but I was hurting too. But I want you to know that you are not evil, you can never be evil. You're good through and through."
"No I'm not." Melinda cried. Chris' words were affecting her, she could feel her conscience winning finally.
"You are. You vanquished an evil, you did the greatest good you could ever do. Our baby was going to cause the end of the world and you stopped that from happening. I love you for that Mel, I love you." He caressed Melinda's face, seeing that he was getting through to her, "No matter what obstacles life throws at us, I want you to know that I will always love you." He could see Melinda's hair turn back to the blonde, he was sure it was a little darker than normal, but never the less it was blonde. Her inner battle had been fought and won.
"That poyion was to bring out your true nature and your true nature is good."
Melinda looked up into the emerald eyes of her brother, and smiled. He still loved her. After everything that had happened, he had forgiven her and loved her. That helped her win the inner battle she was having with the evil inside of her.
Chris kissed Melinda gently, letting her know that she meant the world to him, but then pulled away. Their parents were still in the room.
"Melinda, we're sorry." Piper cried as she saw her daughter was good again, "We've been so horrible to you ever since we found out about you two, but it will all change. We don't even want to lose you and if that means that you two are together then that's the way it will be."
Leo agreed with his wife, as much as it pained him that their son and daughter were in love with each other, it made him happy to see they were happy.
"Thanks mom." Melinda said and ran to her mother, hugging her, "I am so sorry for everything."
sorry this is a little shorter than my other chapters. At first the next chapter was going to end the story but I later decided to carry on with it, which is why I brought her back to god so quickly.
well, now that is sorted out do you care to review? Go on, you know you want to...
