Chapter 14
One thing I have to say before I start, I hate people who are laughing and joking about the thousands of people that have just died in Japan. Sorry but people have been telling jokes and all I wanted to do was walk up to them and punch them in the face for it.
"Plus to be quite honest im worried about you more than anyone else. You could die any moment, and if they stop it, then you wont become like me, the Angels have to get you first." Melinda said, looking at Chris in the eyes sincerely, and then looked away, this was a big problem, if one thing happened uncalculated, everything would become goo, and mess everything up.
Chris looked at me, raised my head so I was now meeting his blue eyes and then gave me the reason why he had so willingly came after me. "That's why im here with you, Mel, I want you to be the one who guides me to the next place, to be the one who teaches me everything that I need to know about being one of you." He explained. I shook my head, I pushed myself away from him and walked backwards until my back met the other side of the rooms wall.
"Chris, you don't know what you are asking me, please no! I can't treat you like that, the training to be one of us is hard, intense, you will hate me by the end of it, I cant do that to you." I cried, trying to prove how bad it really is. He pushed himself up, but I instantly ran to him and tried to get him to lay down again, he was far too weak to lean upwards for even a mere few seconds, let alone try to walk.
"You want to help me now and yet you won't be there for me in my most trivial moment? How wrong is that? You're meant to be my sister, always there for me! That's what you promised mum isn't it?" He shouted, tears running down my face. "Chris, please don't!" he let out a small evil laugh. "Well its true isn't it?" I shook my head and closed my eyes, pulling my arms round my head and pulled my knees to meet my head so my head was facing the floor, leaning on my knees.
Flashback
"Mum please don't die! Please hold on!" Melinda cried, holding on to her mum.
"Hunny, you have to look after your brothers for me okay? They're very immature at times and they need your guidance, for you to always be there no matter what, okay? Promise me. Please." Piper requested of her daughter.
"What if I can't do it mum?" Melinda asked, looking in to her mothers eyes, like someday she would to her brother, on the day he needed her when she would make her decision.
"I know you Mel, you may not be as known as your brothers, but one day, you will be the one stronger than them, and you will be able to protect them, like we have always done for you." She said with a small warm smile, though internally worrying because the demon was about to kill her own daughter if something didn't happen soon.
"You think so?" she asked. "I know so, my dear."
"Mum!" Melinda cried, tears now falling down her face.
"Melinda, run, please baby go, I don't want you to get hurt too." Piper said, tears rolling down her eyes too. She was bleeding from a stab wound and the demon turned towards Melinda with an evil smile.
"Your next little one." He said evilly. She raised her hand and set the demon on fire and ran towards her mother, her mother widened her eyes.
" As I said, I missed a lot about you Mel, you will be more powerful than your brothers one day sweetie and when that day comes, it will be your job to save and protect them Mel. Can you do that for me Hun?" piper asked Mel.
"Yes"
Change of scene
Giggles, smiles, young voices and heavy footsteps. "Chris! Please stop it!" Melinda Halliwell laughed and screamed as Chris followed behind her in a demon homemade suit, he had to make it for his art class at magic school ( A magical costume was the homework but Chris had been persistent with what he wanted.) Chris just laughed from behind her.
"I'll get you Melinda. Don't doubt it!" Melinda laughed, and climbed and hid behind the sofa, before Chris had gotten a chance at getting her, Wyatt had joined in the fight, with his pretend sword, he was pretending to be the owner of Excalibur, though it didn't take that much pretending, he was the owner of Excalibur, while Chris had the knowledge and valiance of Achilles, and Melinda was the one who looked as if she was the damsel in distress but was more like Joan of arc except she dies from falling off a bridge instead of burning.
"Yes brother try, I dare you but you will need to go past me too, because I fight for justice unlike this filth the suit represents." Wyatt, warned, lightly lashing out with his sword, to the costumes arm, causing Chris to Fein and fall to the ground in pain. Which caused the two parents, sitting in the hallway, eating lunch and talking to stare into the living room, and begin to laugh along with their strong little soldiers.
Though it was obvious to Melinda that when she was happy, it was not meant to last for long, because all good things would end, turning to much worse things, this time turning out to have been a kidnapping of Melinda, because the two boys had protected themselves but they had already grabbed Melinda by the time the boys could react. Leaving immediately, though it the kidnapping had killed three just on getting her.
This wasn't what they wanted sadly, for them. But it was obvious to even a seven year old Melinda, that she was always put below her brothers, though she hid her powers from everyone because she wanted everyone to think of her as normal, so just perhaps one day they would begin to believe she was a waste of space, and ignore her, but it didn't seem to work. Her mother dying caused Melinda to come out about her powers but that's what Leo blamed on her, the fact that she couldn't protect her own mother because she was weak, a late bloomer, because she wasn't Chris or Wyatt, because she couldn't handle the magical world like they naturally could.
"How useless, we didn't even get a decently powerful kid; we had to get the powerless one, didn't we?" One of them said, as soon as they had reached the underworld, he leaned on a rock, looking intently on the girl who looked like she would burst out in anger any moment, he would have found it hilarious if he had actually lived long enough to laugh, but before then, flames unleashed themselves from the eyes of Melinda and he was turned into ashes within moments. Other demons began to edge further away from them, others shimmered away, afraid of them too getting turned into ash.
Hours later the Halliwells had found Melinda Halliwell sitting cross legged in the middle of the cave, all the demons afraid to make a move, those who stayed, were blown up.
"Thought you would never wake up, wow Melinda you sleep for ages, Chris is starting to worry about you." A voice said, I moved to look in the direction to see where it came from to find – Wyatt, without a bruise on his head. "Yes Chris is here, he willingly came here." Wyatt explained. It had all been a dream, me punching him, knocking him out, sneaking into Chris's room, to get moaned at by him. Typical. Damn I want to do it. Lets go.
