All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2
24-12-2025 22:00 PM
Melinda sat down in the middle of the attic. She was covered in blood and was crying. Everyone she knew and loved was dead. Killed by the Source! Now she was the only thing that was standing in his way to become the most powerful being the world has ever seen. Now she is the only one who can stop him! If she is strong enough?
Melinda had been lying there for a while now and she had no more tears to cry for. She closed her eyes, but she kept seeing her family and friends lying on the ground, all dead! After a while she must have fallen in sleep, because she opened her eyes and she was no longer in the attic but lying on a field filled with all different flowers. She tried to sit up, but had simply no energy anymore. Her heart did hurt so much of the loss she couldn't do anything then lie there.
From where she was lying she saw someone coming her way. She couldn't see who it was because of the sun. Her blood and adrenaline started to work as she thought a Demon or John was coming for her. With all her strength she sat up and held her hands up, in case if she had to defend herself. She could barely see anything, but she thought to see a woman coming her way.
She put her hands down again, so she could lean on them. She saw a blond woman coming her way, smiling and wearing very strange clothes. Even Melinda knew that the woman was coming closer, she couldn't sit up anymore and let her fall on the ground again and was now lying again with her face on the grass. The woman came closer and closer until she was standing over Melinda.
Melinda looked up and thought to recognize the woman, but couldn't place her face.
'Melinda, you need to get up!' the woman said to her. Melinda looked up and wanted to get up, but every muscle in her body hurt so badly.
Melinda: I can't! She mumbled.
'Of course you can, my child. You are Melinda Halliwell! You are a Charmed One!'
Melinda: No I'm not. Not anymore, she said tears welling up again. My whole family is killed. It is just me now! I'm all alone!
'You are never alone, my dearest. You have me and all your ancestors before you, behind you, she said smiling at Melinda.'
Melinda: Who are you?
'My name is Melinda Warren she said, looking at Melinda.' Melinda looked up and saw the blond woman sitting down and looking at her. She sat up and looked closer at the face of this woman. She had seen her for sure and then she remembered her from the Book of Shadows. She was indeed Melinda Warren.
Melinda H: Am I dead?
Melinda W: No you are not. You are in a catatonic state and are still in the attic. Your mind has brought you here.
Melinda H: Why? I don't understand?
Melinda W: I'm not sure of the why, but I do know that everything happens for a reason, so this also. Sweetie, you have been through hell and it is not finished yet. This is not the end for the Charmed Ones! I'm sure of it!
Melinda H: How can you be so sure?
Melinda W: Many witches before you have given their lives to make sure that the prophecy would come out and that the Charmed Ones would be born into this world. They were the same ancestors you have must keep feeling with the raw power you have received.
Melinda H: Why did I receive this power? Why me and not one of my other brothers?
Melinda W: Because you were not supposed to born. Your brothers were destined to be born but not to be the Charmed Ones. That was the job of Phoebe and her daughters and then after the praise of your mother was heard and she was given a daughter. With that your destiny was sealed for this day.
'Today you will show the Demons and the Source what you are made of. You are made of magic and you are magic. You can destroy anything that comes to your path or create. You need to feel that. You need to know that. You need to let go to embrace your true power. Only then you will be able to defeat this evil and bring back your family as it is also not their time to die.'
Melinda H: Then why did they die? She said confused and crying again?
Melinda W: The loss. That will give you strength to fight. The knowledge that you are able to bring them all back and undo what has been done. That is the reason that you have lost them. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to defeat the Source. You and you alone has to defeat him to bring back all of them.
Melinda H: I don't know if I'm strong enough? I need time to call upon the power. If I get attacked, I don't have enough time to call upon it.
Melinda W: Don't worry about that. You do what you need to do and all will be fine, trust me, she said smiling.
Melinda H: I don't understand. How will I'll be strong enough to bring back my family. I cannot bring back the dead, even with the raw power I can't.
Melinda W: Why not? They are not really dead right? They died in Magic School, so you should be able to bring them back. If your will is strong enough!
Melinda was completely shocked. Of course! She hated herself right now! All this time, she had been lying on the floor and thinking she had lost all of her family, but she could still save them! She needed to go back to her own world again, she needed to take action. She needed to go back to Magic School.
Melinda H: How do you know all this? Aren't you supposed to be dead like hundred years ago or so?
Melinda W: True, she said smiling! But you are all my children and I have to keep an eye on you guys, she said winking at Melinda!
Melinda H: Thank you so much! I thought that I couldn't do this! Let alone win this, but you have given me hope!
Melinda W: Of course. You are all my children and my family. Family protects each other! No matter what! Remember one thing. You are Melinda Halliwell, daughter of Piper Halliwell the Matriarch and destined to become one yourself! You have the power of all the Warren en Halliwell women in you. If you let go completely and let the power take over you, then but only then you will be able to will your family back to life again!
Melinda stared at her with huge eyes and nodded. Melinda Warren got up and walked away from Melinda smiling and looked back once more with a bright smile and disappeared in the woods. Melinda opened her eyes immediately and realized that she was still lying with her face down on the ground, but she was back in the attic. She didn't need to get up to hear and see a lot of Demons standing in the attic.
Hell: She is waking up. Everybody get ready!
All Demons came around Melinda, but were blocked by the crystals. She didn't remember putting them around her and wondered who have done it. Then it hit her. Grams brought her and the book at the last moment back to the attic and she must have put the crystals around her. 'Thanks Grams, she thought to herself and sat up. She still was covered in blood and dirt and her hair was going all ways. She slowly took the book what was lying behind her. She started to flip through the pages.
Hell: That book won't help you anymore. You can't harm us anymore as there is no Charmed Ones!
Melinda: I'm maybe not Charmed anymore, but I'm still a powerful witch and I am sure I can find a spell to vanquish all your sorry asses at once or at least the weak ones of you.
Hell and Melinda had a stare battle and in the end Hell turned his head around to his man and ordered them all to go, except for the upper-level Demons.
Melinda: Now why did you have to go and do that for? Scared?
Hell: Ha! Look who is talking. If you weren't scared, why are you then in your protected shield? Why don't you step out and fight like a man?
Melinda: I have a better idea.
She got up and closed her eyes and remembered the words Melinda Warren had said to her. She could do this. It was not yet her time or her family's! Using her telekinesis she lifted the Book of Shadows and made it flow beside her and then she focused on the crystals and let them flow around her. They kept going in circles around her. One of the Demons bent down to hit her low as the crystals were in the middle of the air, but he got hit himself by his own energy ball, because it reflected back to him.
Melinda walked over to the middle of the room and stood there. Looking from one Demon to the other!
Without warning she threw two Demons against the wall and then quickly she started to blow them over and over again, as they were upper-level Demons, was one blast not enough.
With every blast she saw one of her family members lying on the floor. She blew so hard that both Demons were vanquished and a huge hole was now in the wall and you could look in to the street. Melinda turned herself around and was now standing against two Demons. Hell and one of his minions. They had a face off and stood there waiting. Suddenly Melinda moved both of her hands to each other like clapping and made both Demons bump to each other and both fell on the ground. She quickly used her telekinesis power and with one hand she threw the minion against the wall and Hell she threw him against the wall, but kept him there so he couldn't do anything then to struggle to get loose of her grip. He threw whatever he could at her, but all reflected back at him. She used her other hand to blow up the minion until he was vanquished. Then she turned to Hell and she stood right in front of him.
Hell turned completely pale when he looked right in the eyes of Melinda. They weren't hazel anymore but were glowing from inside! He could feel the power coming in waves from her.
Melinda: Where is John? She asked calmly. Hell only looked at her in disgust and also a bit scared.
Hell: I'm not telling you anything. You can kill me if you want, but there will be more coming!
Melinda: I'm not going to kill you and I know that you won't tell me where he is, but a girl has to try, doesn't she? Maybe you were stupid enough to tell, she said looking very calmly at Hell.
Hell: Like I said I'm not telling you anything, so get it over with and kill me!
Melinda: No! I'm not going to kill you, instead I want you to give your master a message. Tell the Source that I'm waiting for him at midnight at the woods. He will sense where in the woods I am. Tell him that he must come alone if he is Demon enough. I will be alone also and after killing my whole family I believe I deserve this last request. Go tell him that. Now go! She said and released him. Hell shimmered out.
Melinda walked down the stairs and walked to her bedroom and passed by the mirror and stopped to look at herself. She was covered in blood and dust. Her hair was messy and she looked swollen up because of the crying. She could have changed and cleaned up, but there was no time for that. She had to work fast. She had about an hour left before she had to be in the woods. She walked to her closet and looked behind one of the boxes in the closet. There was a set of teleportation potions. She let the crystals fell on the ground and grabbed the Book of Shadows and put it behind a bunch of clothes. She grabbed a few and threw one on the ground.
Magic School, Great Hall
She orbed in the Great Hall and her whole family was still lying there all over the place. She had to swallow hard to keep her tears from falling. She had no time to cry. She had to undo this and she had to do it fast. She closed her eyes and one of the Elders appeared.
Melinda: Thank you for coming. I need your help.
Elder: How can we help you Melinda?
Melinda: I need you to strengthen the spell around the Magic School so Demons can't enter the school anymore. There are probably still some students hiding who can help. Then I need you to orb my whole family to a place in the Magic School, where no Demon or student, would dare to come of think of to go there, so their bodies will be save.
Elder: That shouldn't be any problem. I will get right on to it. What are you going to do?
Melinda: I'm going to face my Demon! She said with determination on her face.
She threw a teleportation potion on the ground and was taken by orbs.
Woods
She orbed in the woods in the open circle area, where she first learned to control her raw power. She looked surprised when Jake walked up to her, looking also surprised and worried.
Jake: Melinda? What are you doing here?
Melinda: What are you doing here? You don't suppose to be here right now! You need to go. All Hell is about to break loose!
Jake: What are you talking about? Melinda why are you covered in blood? What happened?
He came standing in front of her, but not touching her. She had to fight really hard not to cry and let herself fall in his warm and save arms. She needed to be strong!
Melinda: The Source has killed my whole family! Everyone! I'm the only one left, she said bitter and tired.
Jake: What? Are you serious?
Melinda just stared at him. Then Sylvia walked up their way and greeted Melinda and then looked worried at her and asked what was going on and Jake told Sylvia what Melinda had told her and Sylvia looked shocked. She wanted to hug Melinda and comfort her, but Melinda held her hand up.
Melinda: I know you mean well, but I cannot afford to feel anything right now. In less than an hour the Source will be here for a face off.
Sylvia: Then we must not waste any time. We must prepare you like we did the last time.
Melinda: That is very kind of you, but I cannot risk that he will hurt you guys when he arrives here.
Sylvia: We know how to protect ourselves. We will make ourselves scares as soon as he arrives. I promise. Now let's start.
They walked to the other older women and Sylvia explained to them, that tonight instead of bringing down the moon, they would help Melinda and they all agreed.
Melinda sat down in the middle of the circle and lay down on the ground. She closed her eyes, knowing that they would start with the protection and précising the spell and make boundaries. Finally they would call upon the power! So she lay there and thought of her family. 'I'm going to bring you all back, she thought to herself. She looked at her watch and it was ten minutes to midnight. He would be here soon and she could hear in the distance Sylvia saying to her to sit up and ground herself and make her body ready for the power. She sat up and dug her hands in the cold hard ground and closed her eyes and she felt the power coming to her from all around her.
Then the power hit her. She had to breath hard to let it all in. It was so much. There were so many emotions and her powers were tied to her emotions. So the raw power felt stronger and heavy on her. She thought for a moment that she wouldn't be able to hold it. She was so tired. Then she heard the voice whispering from Melinda Warren.
Melinda Warren: Don't be afraid, she said. Let go. We are with you, she said. Open your eyes and see for yourself.
Melinda opened her eyes and saw in front of her all the Matriarch of the Warren line and the Halliwell line standing in spirit in front of her. They all saw them and Jake and the rest stopped chanting and looked in awe of what was happening.
They all smiled at Melinda and then one by one they entered her. Melinda felt by every entering a rush of power and wisdom and ancient spells coming in her in waves. She felt them all. It was so beautiful. She let go completely and closed her eyes, smiling and felt if she could handle anything what came in her way.
When the last spirit had entered her she noticed that she was floating in the air. She was now completely shining in white. Even her eyes were white and shining. She turned around to look down at the witches of the First Order and to Jake and asked them kindly to leave now. They all looked at her, because her voice was not hers anymore. She sounded like a goddess and terrifying. Like steel!
They quickly walked to the other end of the woods and Jake looked at her one more time and then disappeared in the woods. She watched them disappear and then turned around because she felt the Source coming. John appeared in flames with a load of minions around him. John looked at Melinda in the air and looked a bit troubled. He could barely see her, because of the light what was coming of her.
She slowly lowered herself to the ground, but just enough so she didn't touched the ground. She floated to John and the Demons. John gave a sign and the Demons started to charge her and surround her and threw energy balls and fire balls at her. It didn't even hit her. It looked she had a magical force field around her and it looked like she was not even noticing the Demons. She kept starring at John and he back at her.
Then she gently lifted her hand and she spread her fingers and all Demons stopped in their tracks and were standing clumsy and looked all scared. Then she slowly closed her fingers and with every inch, they all cramped and screamed out in pain. Then with a sudden movement she closed her fingers and made a fist and all Demons were vanquished in an instant. Melinda looked amused around her. Then she turned to John and laughed.
Melinda: That was fun. Is there more coming of was this the best you could do? She asked smirking, but still with a voice that would give you the chills to the bone.
John looked very angry and closed his eyes and more Demons showed up. Before they could make any move, Melinda closed her eyes and they were all vanquished at once. She opened her eyes and looked at John. Melinda whispered some ancient dark and disgusting words and John crumbled and screamed out in pain. If felt he was burning up from the inside out! Melinda waved with her hand and he flew hard against one of the trees. She waved another couple of times and threw him from tree to tree like a ball.
Then she waved with her hand again and made him stop and float in the air right in front of her. In an attempt to save himself, he threw quickly a fire ball as big as he could create one right in the face of Melinda. Which made her face go back. She lifted her head back and looked him right in the eyes!
For the first time John was really scared!
Melinda: That wasn't so nice of you, she said with iron steel in her voice!
Melinda whispered again some words that John couldn't hear and now he forgot his cramps in his stomach and started to grab his ears and started to shout like crazy. It felt like there were thousand needles pushed one by one in his ear. He started too screamed out.
John: Stop it! STOP IT! PLEASE STOP THIS!
Melinda: Why should I? She asked calmly. Did you care when you murdered my whole family. Did you felt anything when you were ordering your Demons to kill little children? I don't think so! Your time ends here John! He looked at her in horror.
Melinda closed her eyes again and the crystals she had left in her bedroom appeared around John and he was trapped.
John: You can trap me, but you can't vanquish me. Only the Power of Three can vanquish me! He sputtered between the cramps and pain he had and tried to stand!
Melinda: The Charmed Ones are nothing compared of what I am! I am Melinda Halliwell! The daughter of Piper Halliwell the Matriarch! Next in line to become the Matriarch and chosen to be blessed with the powers of my ancestors! I am made of magic! I am magic! She said and the whole ground shaked. My powers are beyond any power you have ever seen. I don't need the Power of Three to vanquish your sorry ass. I am a goddess! Melinda started to chant:
"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helen, Laura and Grace"
John started to catch fire and was now screaming! No! NOOO!
"Halliwell witches stand strong beside me and vanquish this evil from time and space"
John yelled: THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!
With a big explosion he was finally vanquished!
Melinda looked at the empty space where John was standing a second ago and thought that she would feel victorious or something, but she felt nothing. She only knew that she had to bring back her family, before she would dare to feel anything! She closed her eyes and was taking by white lights.
Magic School, Great Hall
Melinda closed her eyes and called for the Elder who helped her out. The Elder orbed in right away.
Melinda: Can you bring my family down here please. All of them! Also the little ones, who are in the Manor, here in this school! I will bring the family of Paige here!
The elder closed his eyes and her whole family appeared on the floor in front of her. Melinda closed her eyes and she glowed more then she already did and this was the first time that she had to focus and use the max of her power to bring the bodies from Paige her family from the hospital to the Magic School and making sure that everybody that has been in touch with them, would forget about them. Suddenly there were the three children Henry junior. Pam and Pat, the twins and Uncle Henry, lying on the floor in front of them burned.
Melinda closed her eyes and thought of her family and how much they loved them. How much it meant to be a part of this family. She thought about all her ancestors that were in her and she felt them all and saying to her to let go. She knew it also and with one breath she let everything go. All the pain and joy! Every human feeling and let herself completely go!
She opened her eyes and they were huge. She started to float high in the air, without even doing it herself. She closed her eyes and felt the power of all her ancestors and all the loss this family had to go through to fight evil. She felt it all and suddenly from al her body, white bright light shined and she started to swirl in the air and she had completely let go and the only thought she had was the love for her family and she had no idea how long it had took before she floated slowly on the floor again. The moment she touched the ground her family started to wake up one by one. All the wounds, everything was healed and they were all fine and remembered everything what had happened.
Phoebe looked around and saw Coop coming by, but her little girls were still lying on the floor. She started to cry again and crawled to them. Paige was looking around, but did her family was also lying on the floor, burned. She also started to cry. Piper was looking around to double check if this was real or not.
Piper: Melinda? What happened?
Melinda: The source is dead! I killed him! I will explain the rest later. There is one more thing I need to do, before my power runs out! She walked up to Aunt Paige. She was crying, because her family hadn't die in the Magic School, so they couldn't be brought back.
Melinda: Aunt Paige, I know this is very hard for you, but I need you right now ok? Paige nodded not able to speak. 'We are going to put both our hands touching each other over the bodies and you are going to heal them with the love you feel for your family, ok? She asked gently. Paige got calm by her presence.
Paige: Ok. Whatever it takes!
She took the hand of Melinda and felt a power that took her breath away and she had to let go. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and took the hand again of Melinda and ignored the power that she felt that came at her in waves, that she felt humbled to be around her.
Melinda: Let go of the feelings you feel of my power and focus on your family and see them in front of you. Healthy and alive and laughing! Think of your family dinners when you all talk about your day.
How you see them grow in their powers and that they will be fantastic Witchlighters in the future.
Paige: I like that name! She said smiling. Witchlighter, she repeated.
Both of them closed their eyes again and Paige focused on healing them and Melinda added her healing power she had from one of her ancestors that were still in her. A huge whitish / yellow covered all of the bodies and slowly you saw no more burned bodies, but you saw them become more and more themselves and then they were completely themselves again and even started to move.
The light stopped in an instant, when Paige let go of the hands of Melinda and looked speechless at her family who started to wake up and looked confused around them. Paige crying hugged them all and they hugged them all back. Everybody was in tears of joy.
Then she turned to the little girls of Phoebe. She asked for Wyatt and to help her out with this one in the same way as she did with Paige as he was also a blessed child. Together they put their hands over the little girls and slowly they started to heal and wake up. Phoebe and Coop watched in amazement at their daughters and hugged them and kissed them.
Phoebe: Thank you! Thank you so much! She said with awe in her voice.
Melinda smiled at her family and then her eyes went huge and she started to float again in the air and the light started to shine very brightly and then she came down again and her ancestors started to leave her one by one. Her whole family looked in shock at what was happening. They had never seen this ever before. As last Melinda Warren stepped out and Melinda felt to the ground, but got up immediately, not showing any weakness. The Matriarchs turned to her and smiled.
Melinda W: You are truly amazing! Remember, whenever you need us, we will be there for you! She turned around and gave a bright smile to the rest of her family and looked at the Matriarch around them, who started to fade away and before she faded herself, she said:' Blessed Be. Take care of each other. I love you my children!
Melinda finally let herself fall to the ground and showed weakness. She was exhausted and just wanted to lie down.
Elder: You have the bravest kid I have ever seen. She has done things, that none of us had could think of doing and she has a power, which is pretty horrifying but also beautiful. She has saved us from the new Source and brought all of you back all by herself. I think she had earned herself a nice holiday and a lot of TLC, he said smiling and orbed out.
25-12-2025, Christmas morning Magical Manor
Melinda slowly opened her eyes and saw her mother sitting by her and watching her smiling.
Piper: Goodmorning honey. Slept well?
Melinda: euhm…I guess. Last thing I remember was seeing Melinda Warren and I must have passed out.
Piper: You have saved us all! I'm so proud of you. The Elders and Grams told me the whole story of what happened and I'm just so proud of you! She said tears welling up her eyes of being proud.
Melinda: Thanks mom, she said smiling.
Piper: Well you fresh up. The whole family is here and your aunts would like to thank you for saving their families, especially Paige. She thought that she would never see her family again and what you did was a miracle! She is just very grateful! I think that they even over did it with the presents for you!
Melinda: Presents! I love presents! She said smiling brightly.
She wanted to get up, but noticed that her body was soar of carrying that kind of amount of power inside of her. Piper had already thought about that. She gave her a mug, which smelled disgusting, but Melinda knew that her mother's teas always did their jobs!
After a half hour or so, she had freshened up and went downstairs and was embraced by her family and her nieces and nephews and her aunts and her brothers.
When she hugged Wyatt, she whispered to him, that she was sorry for not be able to bring back Sandra. Wyatt got tears in his eyes, by hearing that name. They agreed to light a candle for Sandra after the breakfast and Melinda also wanted to burn a candle for the woman who had died after flipping the pages of the Book.
It took hours before they were finished with eating and opening all the presents, but that's what you get with a huge family. Some point Piper started to prepare the dinner and the girls helped her. The men were watching some sport and the kids were playing. The house was decorated all over, magically!
They had dinner and everybody was having fun and was enjoying the delicious food that Piper had prepared with a bit help. Later that evening they were all hanging around the couch when an Elder orbed in. They all turned to look at him.
Elder: I'm terribly sorry to interrupt this evening, but I believe I have some terrible news. We were of course very happy when Melinda vanquished the Source, but he seems to be resurrected again. The same way we believe Zankou was!
Melinda: Are you saying that all was for nothing? That he is back and probably more pissed of then he was before?
Elder: I am afraid so! The good news is that we know how he is resurrected. We hadn't thought of it at first, because it has been not used for centuries, but one of the Elder was reading the old books and found the answer. They are being resurrected through the Hole.
Leo: Hole? I never heard of it or read about it at Magic School.
Elder: Like I said, it is very rare that someone is brought back through the Hole. Nobody supposed to know about it.
Piper: Ok! Is there a way to destroy this Hole where the bad guys keep coming back from?
Elder: We believe that with your Matriarch power and the Charmed Ones and the unusual powers of Melinda, there should be a chance to destroy it.
Melinda: OK. Let's go then? Show us where it is, so we can go and destroy it. I surely don't want to fight the Source again, if possible. I'm still sour from the last battle.
Elder: Well we believe that the Hole is protected at all times by a lot of demons. So you have to be prepared and well rested to be ready to fight that amount of demons.
Wyatt: No! We go now! Let's get this over with. We are not going to wait days till everybody is well rested and at full power. We are the Charmed Family! We have battled hundreds maybe thousands of demons over the years. This ends tonight. We are not going to wait till we get attacked again.
Everybody stood up. Even the little ones! With determination on their faces! Phoebe and Paige walked to the kitchen and started to make the potions by heart. Chris came also to make a new potion to weaken the Source. Melinda went upstairs to change in some fighting clothes and to prepare herself for the raw power she had to take in again. This time she knew that her ancestors were with her all the time. She could call for the power faster than before and she didn't need to whole ritual thing anymore. Now she knew how to let go and she was surely not going to lose her family again to that bastard!
After an hour or so they were all ready. Paige and Phoebe tried everything to convince that their children couldn't come and that it was too dangerous, but they threatened to follow their orb anyway, so Paige and Phoebe went over to discuss it with Piper and Piper looked at their determined faces and said to her sisters, that they have every right to defend their lives and their families and that they could only come if they stayed together and vanquish anything what was not the family. Little Patty looked a bit scared but in the end put her teeth together and made her hands fists next to her body.
The Elder closed his eyes and summoned a few other Elders and they asked the whole family to stand in front of them holding hands so they could teleport them to the Hole. The Charmed family did as they were told and they all double checked if they had all their potions and their athames and then the Elders started to chant in a language that Wyatt understood a bit, because of his training and then white bright lights came out of the Elders and the Charmed family was taken away to the Hole.
Hole
They appeared unfortunately with a huge bright light right in the middle of the cave of the Hole.
Automatically the Demons that were in the cave started to attack them. They all started to throw potions or use their powers to defend or attack themselves. The little ones were staying close by their parents, but were not afraid and were vanquishing quit amount demons that were coming their way. Phoebe looked at her daughters. The future Charmed ones and they were standing with their backs to each other and using their powers smart and she couldn't help to feel proud.
Henry junior was using his orbing power to orb out the weapons of the Demons and kill them with it. And the twins were using their powers at the same time, which hit the Demons double so hard at once. Henry looked in awe at his children and threw out some more potions he had with him and was ducking for energy balls.
Melinda and her brothers were together and Melinda was holding them so they would have to force field around them, but was still able to use their powers.
The fight felt endless. The more Demons they killed the more surfaced. Melinda hoped that John would show himself, so she could transform and kill him before they close the Hole. So she could end it right here and now, but the coward was now were close. The bastard, she thought.
Melinda was looking around and she noticed that her family was starting to run out of potions and were getting tired of defending and fighting the Demons, which were keep coming.
Melinda: I have to let you guys go. Otherwise I cannot transform! She yelled.
Wyatt: OK. He looked at Chris and he looked back and they nodded and both let go of Melinda and stood before her. Melinda understood what they were doing and suddenly she saw Paige and her Mother also standing by her and the whole family came standing around her in a circle so the Demons couldn't possibly attack her and while they were defending she closed her eyes and she thought of her ancestors and when they were inside her. She felt the love of her family and then the fear that they would get hurt, she let go. She lifted her head up and from the middle of the circle the Charmed Family had created a bright white light started to shine.
Slowly you could see the long hair of Melinda flying everywhere around her, like there was a huge wind in the room, but there wasn't and she was completely glowing and her eyes were white. She floated now above the Charmed family. The Demons stopped attacking and looked startled at what was happening.
Her family looked up also and Melinda looked down with so much love in her eyes and she couldn't help to smile at her nieces, who looked at her with their mouths open and with awe.
Melinda voice was changed also and when she spoke it sounded like iron steel which made the cave shake.
Melinda: Enough! This ends here! She threw out her hand and started to swirl in the air creating a sort of white tornado around her and then she suddenly she stopped swirling, but the wind didn't it was still going around her like a tornado and with opening her arms wide on both sides, she pushed the white wind through the whole cave and killed all the Demons at once in the cave. More Demons appeared and this time she didn't even swirl. She just summoned the wind out of her body and sent it again to all the Demons. She kept doing it over and over again. It felt endless.
She floated down to the ground and she had just vanquished again a whole bunch of Demons. She touched to ground and with her feet lightly and bent down to touch the ground. All over the cave! Flowers and grass started to grow. She was making the place good. Feeding it with good magic.
She looked up at the Demons, who looked confused around them and at the ground under them, which changed into grass and the place looked like a beautiful park.
Melinda: Tell the Source. He can send as many as Demons as he wants, but he will not win from me!
I am Melinda Halliwell. A Charmed One, destined to be a Matriarch. I have the power of all the Matriarchs before me. He will never win! The Hole is now taken over by good. Go now if you want to live another fight.
The Demons shimmered out before she would change her mind and kill them anyway. She turned to her family and they came all standing around her and looking at her at awe.
Melinda: I have used a lot of amount of powers. We have no time to talk. We have to finish this now!
They walked over to the Hole, which was a Hole in the middle of a downside pentagram and there was a black tornado in it swirling into nothingness. The whole family stood around it.
Melinda: I think if we all used our strongest powers and point that at the hole it should be destroyed.
Piper: I agree. Orb rocks at it, do whatever you can. Ok? They all nodded.
Melinda lifted her hand and closed her eyes and sent a white mist at it. It looked powerless, but her winds had already proved to be more powerful then they look. Wyatt started to send his white light at it. Piper used her Matriarch powers, combined with her Charmed power and asking the earth around the hole to shake and break. As she has earthy powers, she was able to ask the elements to help.
Phoebe was using her telepathy power to tap into the powers of Melinda and all around her, so she was able to send a sort of misty/white light to the whole. All of them were doing their best and you could hear the earth shaking and cracking under them and the pentagram and then it went pretty fast. They all used the max power after the first crack and suddenly the whole thing started to collapse inside the Hole, closing it and after a few minutes it was closed.
Melinda collapsed immediately at the ground and passed out.
Time pas and we see that Melinda is brought back to her room in the original Manor. Her bed is surrounded with crystals. One by one they took shifts to watch over her. She had earned so much respect from her family and they understood what she must have been through to save her family, so she deserved the extra attention.
We see Melinda waking up and taking a nice bath that Chris had made for her. Time pass again and we see them having a nice breakfast and the rest of the family leaving back to their own houses. Her brothers are called in the Heavens and she goes up to her room to write some in her diary.
Dear Diary
So much has happened with Christmas. I don't know where to start.
Short version of what happened is that the Source started the attack by killing Phoebe's daughters. Then the family of Paige and finally them came for me and my brothers. My brothers got hurt and in an attempt to save them, an innocent died right in front of me and there was nothing I could do.
Then they found the teleportation potions and attacked the Magic School and killed my entire family. Thanks to Grams I was able to escape and then I met Melinda Warren, who showed me how I could save my family and that I had the power to kill John. When I woke up, I had to go through some demons, but that was no problem. I send John a message to meet me at the woods. There I felt the power for the first time that I used my raw power fully.
Of course the bastard didn't show up alone, but I was already transformed. I hurt him first pretty bad and then I finally vanquished him, but it turned out that he resurrected again through some Hole. So on Christmas evening, we had to destroy the Hole. The whole family came. Even the little ones! At some point I needed to transform and my whole family came standing around me in a circle so I could focus on what needed to be done and I did. Together we fought of the Demons and destroyed the Hole. Unfortunately the Source didn't show his ugly face, the bastard. So now I have to go up against him, again! Crap!
I have finally learned how to summon the raw power in me and I finally understand where it came from and why I have received it!
I'm just glad that my family is alive again and…o wait the doorbell rings...i'll be back.
Melinda run downstairs to the door and opened to see a middle aged man standing. He was pretty tall and had curly braun hair. Blue/Greenish eyes. He was not slim, but also not fat, but in between. He was wearing a dark braun suit. He smiled when he saw Melinda.
'Melinda Halliwell'? He asked
Melinda: Yes that's me? Can I help you with something?
'Yes you can actually. I would like to speak to Phoebe Halliwell?
Melinda: Aunt Phoebe doesn't live here anymore. She hasn't been for a while now. Can I take a message to pass on to her?
'Can't you not summon her or something' ? The man asked very calmly.
Melinda: Summon her? She asked carefully, knowing that something was not quit right here.
'Yes. Summon her or I don't know how you people do it?'
Melinda: You people? She asked confused. What the hell are you talking about? She asked getting irritated!
'Listen. I rather wait till I see Phoebe. Otherwise I have to tell my story twice and I don't like repeating myself!
Melinda: Listen freak! I don't know what you want, but I'm not going to let you accuse me or my family of whatever you think we are. So get lost! She said anger rising in her, but she tried to stay calm.
The man went to his pocket and took a badge out of it and showed it to Melinda. He was a cop!
Melinda didn't look impressed by it!
Melinda: So you are a cop. Should I be impressed or something? If you are not charging me for anything or going to arrest me for anything then again get lost, before I call the cops.
'No need for that. I'm already here. He said smiling at her with a sarcastic smile.
Melinda: I will call my Uncle and tell him that you are harassing me and you may be a cop, but that doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want.
Cop: I like you. You have spirit. Listen I will tell you this once. I know that you and your family are witches! With real powers! Now you may denied it, but we can always see what happens if a friend of my by the Gazette will print it on the morning paper and the whole world would read about you guys. Can you imagine what would happen then?
Melinda immediately thought about the story of how Prue died and the hell they got in, when people found out. She tried to look calm at the cop.
Melinda: Witches! Me? She let a laugh that sounded sincere, but it was just a trained laugh she had practiced for this kind of moments. Why would you do such a thing? You don't even know us?
Cop smiled: Believe me. I know more about you then you could imagine! I will go now, but we will see each other soon and I guess a lot.
Melinda wanted to say something, but he already started to walk down the stairs with his back at her and got in his car and drove off, leaving a confused Melinda at the porch. Melinda didn't know what to think of this weird meeting with this cop and just when she thought that things would be a bit lesser, now the Source was weakened, she couldn't help to feel that she had just got a new enemy!
