Chapter 11

Underworld:

"What makes you think history will not repeat itself?" Melinda threatened.

He walked over to Melinda and pulled her chin up, making sure she would stare at his burned scars. She did not look revolted, more like pity and anger. He smirked down at her, "That is what we intend to happen, my dear. You have no idea what we have planned for your brother."

Lukas touched Melinda's cheek, ignoring her hateful glares and shimmered away leaving a confused and angry Melinda and Alexandra.

"Which brother do you think he's talking about?" Alex asked.

"I'm hoping he's talking about Wyatt," Melinda said honestly, thinking about how Chris nearly murdered Lukas with his deadly power. "Have you tried calling for him?"

"I tried but I think they whitelighter proof this place." Alex said and moaned, "These chains are killing me. And I even tried to teleport but it won't work."

Melinda sighed, "Just great. We need to come up with a plan or something that can get us out of here before our entire family shows up."

"I think you said that a little too late, Mel. You know our family. The second I'm gone, my mom probably called the aunts and then, your mom talked to Angie and Chris at work." Alex reminded her as she rested her head against the hard wall. "Why are our lives so complicated?"

Melinda sighed, "We're Halliwell's. Our lives were born to be complicated."


Halliwell Manor:

"Aunt Phoebe, can you please stop moving around the attic like that? You're making this more nerve-racking than it is." Pandora told her aunt as she went through the book and her twin used the crystal over the map while Wyatt made the potions.

"I'm sorry but I do not like the situation here. Mel and Alex got kidnap and Caleb is nowhere to be found."

"You don't think they figured him out, do you?" Annabelle asked as she sat next to Chris on Aunt Pearl's couch.

"Nah, those demons could never figure him out. It has been years. He's obviously making a plan of some sort to get those girls free." Chris said, but he knew those words were not as convincing as he wanted it to be.

"Well, they're clearly in the Underworld," Patricia said as she put the crystal and the map away. "How's the potion doing?"

"It's going but honestly what it's going to do to them?"

Phoebe stopped her pacing and turned to face her eldest nephew. "What is that supposed to mean, mister?"

Wyatt put the spoon down and stared at his aunt. "I know that you and our moms had an accomplice with you when you vanquished Agues and Lukas."

"You do?"

"Who is it?" He asked.

Phoebe sighed of a relief that Wyatt did not know who but felt guilty because Wyatt knew she could not handle keeping a secret from a family member for long. But she hid this secret for almost twenty years and she was lucky she did not blurt it out when they graduated from high school. But she promised Piper and yet, she and Paige told Piper that if the kids ask they would answer. However, the situation they were in was not a good time to tell the truth. "Wyatt, sweetie I –"

"Aunt Phoebe, whoever it was can help us vanquish these bastards once and for all."

She whimpered at him, "It's complicated."

"Aunt Phoebe comes on! Why are you being so stubborn?"

"It's a Halliwell trait. Get used to it."

"Alright, what's going on up here? What's with all the yelling?" Piper called out as she, Paige, and Angie walked up. "Well?"

"It's nothing," Wyatt mumbled.

"We don't have time for this so what's going on?" Piper asked again. "Don't make me ask for the third time."

"It's nothing Piper really." Phoebe confronted her but her eyes told her older sister another thing.

Piper noticed and decided to talk to her baby sister later. "Alright do we have a plan?"

"The usual one –Wyatt and I go to the lair be the distraction while Angie and the twins free Alex and Mel." Chris told her.

"Sounds good but we don't need any more Halliwell daughters as hostages. I think we three free Alexandra and Melinda while you three young ladies are up here just to be safe." Paige said.

"What?" All of them yelled.

"It's too dangerous."

"Oh no not again." Angie murmured, prepared to hear a long argument between the family members. She sat down on the couch next to Chris. She knows the Halliwell family long and knows when an argument is coming. She should get used to it but she cannot. It was like watching a reality TV show that was addicting.

"Mom, that's not fair!" Patricia yelled. "You need as many –"

"You girls were almost killed the last time demons confronted you. I don't plan on happening that again." Paige told her. "You need to stay here just in case demons attack Adrianna or your father."

"But they're safer at Magic School." Pandora said.

"Mom, I thought you wanted to take a break from demon hunting," Wyatt mentioned. "Maybe it's best for us to go instead of you and the aunts."

"Hey we are not that old!" Paige yelled.

"Okay!" Angie yelled, clapping her hands from the sisters yelling at the young generation. "How about we go with Paige's idea but we three can go as well to find Caleb." She suggested. "That way everyone can go down to the Underworld."

"I don't like it," Phoebe said.

"Well I don't like the fact that we are wasting precious time arguing when Alex and Melinda need us. And I hate to say this, but maybe Caleb as well. We don't know what happened to him and he needs us." Angie said. "So are we ready to kick some demon asses' people?"

Chris rolled his eyes, "Great speech, Angie."

Angie glared at her best friend, "Don't you dare start with me, Christopher."


Underworld:

"Can you sense him?" Annabelle asked her twin cousins as she and Angie walked in front of them, ready to attack any demon that stood in their way to finding Caleb. They are all worried that Caleb is trouble if the demons figured out that he is a spy for them rather than for the demons. She did not want to know what would happen to the half demon, which has been like another brother to her over the years.

Pandora sighed, "Nothing. There's too much evil down here that it's driving my sensing all over the place."

"Caleb is half demon," Patricia finished for her sister.

Angie quickly hushed the girls, hearing a male's voice. As they walked closer, they could hear a muffle cry, it was Caleb. Angie ran to the nearest corner and found a lair filled with silk and candles all around. It looked like a romantic evening on a third date. Her eyes widened seeing a young woman on top of Caleb. "You do not need to see this," Angie whispered as she tried to cover the girls' eyes.

"Wait!" Pandora whispered back as she blocked away from Angie's hands. "He's tied up. Angie, he can't move which means he's not doing this willingly."

"Come on, why don't you kiss me already?" The demon girl asked seductively.

"Look as attractive as you may be, you are not my type." Caleb told her.

"Ah," she said as her hands went down and up his chest. "Is there another? What does she have that I don't?"

"Dignity, respect." Caleb listed off, grunting as he tried to break the rope around his wrists. He does not believe hitting girls but this demon looked more human and it was bothersome. "Should I go on?"

"Please do, Caleb." The demon turned around and saw Angie standing in her lair, looking beautiful and strong with a vile of potions in her hands. The she demon admits she was beautiful but this could not be the girl that the half demon is talking about. "Now get off my friend or else I'll make you."

The she demon smirked, "Jealous?"

Angie scoffed, "Oh please. I've seen the girls Caleb hooked up with and trust me; they were more beautiful and had a lot more dignity than you." She showed off the potion in her fingers, "Last chance. No?"

"Wait!" the she demon cried when Angie lifted her arm up. "I can help you with anything you want."

"Anything?" Angie echoed and put her arm down at her waist. "Release Caleb then."

Quickly, the she demon took the rope off Caleb and backed away as he got up. "Nice rescue, girls. Never thought I would see the day when I become the damsel in distress." He said and then suddenly, he was in front of the she demon. He put his hands around her neck, lifting her up in the air. "Where is the girl?"

"I don't know," she chocked.

"I don't believe you," Caleb snarled as he tightens his grip. "Where is she? What do they want with her?"

The she demon put her hands on Caleb's arm, trying to make him loosen his grip but from the anger in his eyes, she could not dare ask him to do that. "She's with Agues and his brother. But I do not know what he would do to her. I swear."

"I think I do," Caleb murmured. "Thanks but we need your services anymore."

Before the she demon could get a word in, Caleb pulled her closer to his chest and he put his hands at both side of her head and then CRACK! Her dead body on the ground soon turned into dust. Angie raised her eyebrow at Caleb's tactics of murder and he noticed, "What? She annoyed me." He said innocently.

"Caleb, what happened to you? How did you get capture?" Pandora asked.

"It wasn't exactly a capture," Caleb sighed as he sat down on a boulder, stretching his arms and legs out. "There was an ambush and we got in the Underworld. Melinda was unconscious when one of the demons hit her. But I killed all of them. Not that I am happy to see four beautiful women but why are you here? It's too dangerous to be hanging around me right now."

"Demons kidnap Melinda and Alex," Annabelle told him. "I don't understand. If you killed all those demons down here, how come you didn't get out here with Melinda?"

Caleb sighed, "There's a reward to find a Charmed One's daughter whoever resurrected Agues and Lukas. After I killed those demons, Agues came and thought I came here for a reward since I brought Melinda or at least that is what he thinks. Before I could even do anything, that she demon showed up and tied me up, saying she's my reward."

"Do you know what they are going to do to them?" Angie asked.

Caleb sighed, "I'm not sure but if Melinda's blood brought him and his brother back, he might try to bring someone else back. But if they find out that Melinda is the donor and not Alex, there is going to be a war down here. Where are Wyatt and Chris?"

"They're with our moms, why?" Patricia asked.

Caleb sighed, "They're going to be walking into a trap. And knowing your family, they're going to get Melinda or Alexandra killed."


"You shouldn't fight it," Lukas's voice called out as he walked inside the cavern and stared at Alex, who was trying to break the chains. "The more you pull, the more it hurts."

"I don't care," she grunted. "Let us go."

"I already told you why we can't do that."

Melinda grunted as she tried to move herself into a better sitting position. "My brothers aren't stupid, so whichever one you are after, he will come up with a brilliant plan."

"Yes that is true…however," Agues said as he came out the shadows with his handsome face revealing from the flames. "Your brother's plan always has someone getting hurt."

"If you touch Melinda, I swear I'm going to kill you!" Alex yelled.

Agues just waved his hand at her, "Brother we don't need her anymore. It's the Twice Blessed Brat's sister that we need."

Lukas nodded his head as he took the chains off the wall but instead of taking the chains off Alex's hands and feet, he put them together, forcing her to be dragged away. Alex kicked and screamed, hearing her cousin's cries in the echoes of the cavern. Melinda looked up at the smiling Agues and felt her stomach drop. What are they going to do to her?

As if he read her mind, Agues pulled a strand of Melinda's hair out of her face and pet it like it was something valuable to him. Melinda wanted to cringe far away from him and anyone else like him. "I'm going to kill you," he said, pretending to be sad. Suddenly, Melinda gasped as she felt something sharp go to her abdomen.

"Don't worry, my dear you won't die just yet." He pulled athame out of her and leaned over, whispering in her. "But I promise, this pain that you are feeling right now is only the beginning."
