Part Three
Melinda

"She's gone. He's gone. Well, not really gone, but their bodies are empty of
spirt, of fire.

"Cassandra has been asleep for three days, with no one able to wake her. Brian
has been asleep for a day and a half, and he too, cannot be awakened." Meilda told
the council whom she daelt with as much as her father.

"You must find some way to awaken them, Melinda. Leonora will not do it. We
the council belive she is the one who will go evil. She is the one who smiled
when Cassandra was found, in the condition in which she was." the Council Head declared.
It had come to Cassandra as her first vison type thing. She said one day one of
the Enchanted Four would become evil. At first everyone thought she was lying,
and then they thought she would be the evil one.

"Melinda! Listen! The demon who has taken your sister and brother will come for
you or Leonora next. You must vanquish him before he gets you all! Go!" a glimmer
of flames and a wisp of smoke and Melinda was back in her own world. With much to
think about. Too much.

Leo was thinking. Hard. His healing powers would not have worked. He knew he
would probaly make the two sleep deeper. That was the last thing he wanted.

"Dad, Mom! I'm home! And I've got an idea!" shouted a voice from Melinda's
room.

Leo rushed out of the room in which his children selpt, bumped into his wife
and made it to Melinda without breaking too many valubles.

"Well, what is it?" Piper asked before Leo had the chance.

She stretched her long, delicate looking arm, keeping them in suspense. Piper
looked as if she had been up all night. She probaly had. Dad looked as if he had
five ulcers that were eating away at him. She decide maybe keeping them in
suspense was not such a good idea.

"Okay, it's like this, I lure the demon (the one who did this) into a dark alley
somewhere. Somewhere where you, dad, and Leonora will just happen to be hiding
in the shadows. Then we jump attack 'em" she said.

"That sounds a little dangerous, dosen't it?" asked Leo.

"You're right. I mean if we sit around here and let the other two sleep, we'll
only be plucked off one by one, no big deal." Melinda answered sarcastically.

"Let's wait till Leonora gets home from wherever she is and then we'll plan."
said Piper, leaving the room.

At that moment, the objects of their conversation screamed, in unison. They
were pale as could be. They should be dead. Some mysterious force was keeping
them alive, and no one knew why.

They were traped in this pit from you-know-were. It was the most horrible any
one had lived through. If they were still living.

It started with things that were scary, but not in a kill yourself sort of
way. Like getting killed. Then it went to things like killing perfect strangers
just because, it got worse and worse until you were kneeling next to your
mother's form, which was riddled with holes from the knife you held in your
hand, and all your could do was dirve the knife into her futher and futher.
That's horrible.

Leonora was having the time of her life. She was sixteen, yet had somehow lied
her way into a bar, and was now fairly drunk. She giggled as the guy she was
dancing with slid his hands over her back. He was probaly drunk too.

Half an hour later they were in an alley scaring the cats and giggling. "Come
here." the guy said. It wasen't a question. He grabbed her wrist, and she was too
drunk to fight.

Soon she found herself falling trough blackness and landing beside Cassandra
and Brian. They looked dead. She wasn't drunk anymore.

"Hey, guys. What kind of hell pit are we in now?" she whispered.
