Chapter 10 - Mel to the Rescue

Recap:

Paige, still fishing, for ideas suddenly remembered. "What about the To Call A Lost Witch spell?"

Piper looked up from the crystal. "That could work… quick, Paige, get the Book of Shadows. Phoebe, find an athame. If I remember correctly we're going to need a potion and a drop of our blood to make the spell work…" Piper started to head to the kitchen to get stuff for the potion.

But Mel, gathering her strength, stood up again. Phoebe tried forcing her back down, again telling her that they had everything under control, but Mel shook her head. "There's not enough time."

She closed her eyes and began to mumble out a spell,

"Across the skies and through the heavens above

Two we became but as one we are

Let me leave here and send me there

To where my other half lies"

As the Charmed Ones watched, bright lights began to swirl around Mel and then she was gone.

End Recap

Mel appeared in a swirl of lights behind a rock and quickly looked around. She was in the underworld and Chris was lying on the ground in front of her, badly hurt and unconscious. She started to run towards him but caught a glimpse of a demon guard, and then another, and another.

"Crap!" she thought to herself. "This wasn't the smartest plan I've ever had. Luckily they didn't see me yet…I can still catch them off guard and freeze them."

She took a deep breath, still weak from feeling Chris's pain, and then stepped out in front of the demons, freezing them before they could react. She ran over to Chris, knowing her time was precious before the demons unfroze. She knelt down beside her brother and forced back any tears that came at the sight of him. His face was bruised badly; he had a black eye and a horrible gash at the top of his forehead. She glanced down at his side and saw a burnt-flesh spot where a fireball must have caught him. She swallowed hard, knowing that he didn't have much time left to live, and placed her hands over the fireball wound. A yellow glow emitted from her hands and the wound began to disappear. As it did, Chris let out a small groan, as he started to wake back up.

"Quick!" Mel turned as she heard footsteps and a shout. "I heard something in here!" A demon appeared and yelled, "WITCH!"

Mel stood up and threw her hands out in front of her, blowing the demon up. However, before she could turn back around and finish healing Chris, the three guard-demons begin to unfreeze. Mel blew up one of them as they shook out of the shock of being frozen. After gathering his senses, another one of them stepped up and threw a fireball at her, so she ducked, missing it. As she threw out her hands to blow him up, the other demon chucked an energy ball at her, barely scraping her shoulder. Mel turned, blowing the demon up.

She knelt back down beside Chris went back to healing the gash on his head as she urgently whispered, "Come on, Chris, come on! Wake up!"

After hearing all of the commotion, two more demons appeared and Mel quickly froze them before blowing them up. She finally finished healing Chris's head wound just as another couple of demons appeared. She quickly froze three of them but the fourth one sent a fireball soaring at her, and it hit her in her already wounded shoulder.

Mel gritted her teeth, fighting back the horrible pain. She blew the demon up and turned her attention to Chris.

Chris, slowly coming to, murmured, "Mel?"

Mel grabbed his hand as another group of demons came rushing in. "Quick! Orb us out of here!"

Blue orbs surrounded the twins, and they orbed out just as three fireballs collided right where they had sat.

More demons gathered in to see what all the noise was about, several of them looking like Kenny. Then one last demon, also looking like Kenny, ran in and looked around. Apparently he was the demon in charge, because the rest of the demons moved out of his way and made a half circle around him. He shouted at the closest demon, "What happened? Where's Chris?"

A different demon in the middle of the crowd spoke up, "The sister came for him."

A shimmer went over the 'Kenny' demon and he changed into a taller handsome young man with dark hair and light hazel eyes, "Did you hurt her?"

Another demon smirked. "Hytes and Rison both caught her in the same shoulder before she blew them up; it's a shame they weren't better shots."

The rest of the demons laughed and chuckled.

"You think that's funny, huh?" The handsome demon remarked.

One scrawny demon with a big nose chuckled, "Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on that witch! I'll make her day, and then I'll put her lights out!"

The other demons began cheering and hooraying.

The handsome demon looked around. "All of you think that's a great idea, do you?"

The group of demons shouted out a bunch of 'Aye's' and hitting each other on the arms, nodding their heads in agreement.

The handsome demon then spit fire from his hand and watched as it shot from his hand and went all the way around the room, vanquishing all of the other demons! He then said with a grim look on his face, "Well, I don't."

A blue puddle appeared underneath him resembling a portal, and all of a sudden he was sucked through it.

Back at the Manor, the Charmed Ones were in the kitchen, Piper was pacing frantically with her arms wrapped tightly around her, while she let Phoebe and Paige work on the potion for the To Call A Lost Witch spell. Or in this case To Call Lost Witches. She had tried doing the potion herself but after nearly singeing her eyebrows off, Phoebe and Paige had taken over.

Piper stopped in front of her sisters, throwing her hands up in the air. "How could she be so stupid? Going in there after him, alone? There is no telling how many demons are there, just waiting to trap her, too." Piper grabbed the counter, trying to steady herself. "And where the hell is Leo?"

Phoebe started to walk around the counter and comfort her sister when she heard footsteps come from the living room, followed by Chris's voice, "Mom?"

The Charmed Ones raced into the living room and gathered around to see if Chris was OK. He was obviously all right, but Mel wasn't--just as they walked into the room, she fainted, finally giving in to the agony caused by the wounds on her shoulder.
