Back to the dorm room where Melinda just found out about the first 4 years of her life.
Chapter 21, back home
Melinda looked at her brothers and said: "I remember my other powers to, but I love the fact that I have premonitions like aunt Phoebe. And even more great is that I can show you what I see."
"Yes and it already was useful, it helped us find you. I still can't believe that we really are together," Chris looked at his sister.
"But I don't understand how I project it into your minds exactly."
"Don't worry about it, you will learn to control it." Chris said.
Melinda just nodded.
"Melinda, can you tell us what happened the night you dissappeared?" Chris asked.
"Can I tell that story later, I would love to go see mom and dad first, can we do that?"
"Yes of course we can, we are just an orb away, but before we are going to see them, we need to go the manor first. I don't know why, but I think it's important." Chris said.
"Let's orb to the manor then." Wyatt didn't want to wait any longer.
"Wait", Melinda said, "I can't leave here just like this, I need to explain things to my family."
"We are your family." Chris looked at his sister.
"Yes I know, but I have grown up with this family, they are as much family to me as you are."
"We can go to the manor, meet mom and dad and then go back here. Is that OK?" Wyatt looked at his sister.
"Yes, that's OK. Let's go then."
Just when they wanted to orb, Melinda again interrupted: " I need my necklace." She picked it up and put it in the pocket of her jeans. "Now we can go."
Chris rolled his eyes, he put one arm around her shoulder and they orbed to the manor.
They arrived in the kitchen. Melinda walked from the kitchen to the dinner table and into the living room. " O my God, now I know what I have missed all this time."
She walked towards the pictures on the table. One with all three of them, made just before she left and one of her alone." You didn't forget me," she said with a smile.
"Of course we didn't, you are our sister." Chris stood behind here. Because of his empath powers he could feel that she need it to be distracted a bit, it was overwhelming her.
He grabbed her hand and said " come on let's go upstairs to your room."
"No, I want to go to the attic, I want to see the book."
Wyatt looked at her: "Why do you want to see the book?"
"It was so important for mom, I remember all the times we looked at it together."
Wyatt nodded, "I totally forgot, but you are right, in the beginning, mom let us look in the book of over and over again. But after you where gone, she didn't anymore."
"Yes, that was weird, to never look in it again, together. Chris remembered.
"O, but it didn't stop you from looking into the book, Chris." Wyatt smiled at his brother.
"He knows the book by heart." Wyatt said to his sister.
"Don't say that it hasn't been handy, that I looked at it so many times." Chris replied.
"Guys please can I go see the book?" Melinda looked at her brothers.
"Yes of course we can," Wyatt said and the three of them walked to the attic. When they reached the attic door, Melinda slowed down.
"Guys, I need to do this alone," she said. The boys nodded and Wyatt opened the door for her. She walked towards the book, the boys stood in the door opening. Chris leaned to the wall with his arms folded, before his chest.
They looked at their sister, who was now next to the book. She touched it and when she did that the lights started to flicker and the pages started to move.
"Wyatt, Chris what is happening? " Chis could feel she started to panic. The boys hurried towards her. Together they looked at the book. The pages stopped moving. They looked at the page that was in front of them. Wyatt and Chris looked at each other.
Wyatt pointed at the page: "You where right Chris, the power of three belongs to us."
The page was showing them the spell to get the power of three.
Chris nodded.
Melinda just wanted to ask what all of this meant when a demon appeared. The one they couldn't vanquish earlier this day. This time he wasn't alone. In his arms was Sandy. She wasn't moving and her eyes where closed.
"Sandy, o my God." Wyatt screamed.
Chris yelled, " shield up, now!"
Just like before, Wyatt was just in time, to protect them.
"What is going on?" Melinda asked." Who is he and who is that girl?"
"Demon ... charge," Wyatt replied. "We have no time, we have to say this spell NOW!!"
Melinda new that it was important. So she didn't ask further and together with the boys she red the spell, that would give them the power of 3.
They felt the power appear into their bodies and after that Wyatt looked at his sister and said:
"Melinda are you up for your first fight?"
In the mean while Chris was looking for the spell that would vanquish the demon. The one they tried using with Sandy, but it hadn't worked because it need it to be said by the power of three.
"Chris, Hurry I can't hold my shield much longer," Wyatt yelled.
