"Mel!" screamed Piper from the attic, "could you come here please. We are
ready to tell you, well, everything!"
"Okay, Mommy! But where are you?"
"Up in the attic."
"Okay," yelled Melinda. Melinda climbed the stairs to the attic and walked into the room. She looked around and then saw a bright light. "Mommy, what's that?"
"Oh, hold on a moment, she'll be here in a second," said Piper.
"Who?" asked Melinda cautiously.
"Just watch and wait," said Paige.
Melinda waited and then saw the glowing lights become a beautiful raven haired woman surrounded by white lights. "Aunt Prue!" she exclaimed without really think how she knew this person. She ran towards Prue and gave her a big bear hug.
"Dear Melinda. Piper, you have a gorgeous daughter," said Prue.
"Thanks Prue."
"Well, now that I'm here, lets get down to it," said Prue. "How much have you told her?"
"Nothing actually."
"Well, then let's start with the basics," said Prue. "Melinda, you mother, Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige and I are witches. Well, I was a witch, but I was killed 10 years ago tomorrow. I was killed by the most powerful evil, the Source. And he is going to try and kill either your mother, your aunts, or all three tomorrow. I will be there in spirit form, but won't be able to help. That is why we are telling you all this. When you were born, your mother, father, and aunts bound your powers, and now, we need to unbind them. Are you ready for the challenge of helping us defeat evil?"
"Yes, I'm ready," said Melinda with a sudden calm, yet determined voice.
"Are you sure honey?" asked Piper.
"Mommy, I said yes didn't I?" said Melinda.
"All right, Mel. You chose this," said Phoebe. She took out a glass with a green liquid in it and gave it to Melinda, "drink this."
"Okay," Melinda said as she put the glass to her mouth and drank everything in it.
After she finished Paige said, "do you feel any different?"
"No, not particularly."
"Well, lets see what powers you have," said Leo, orbing in.
"Daddy?" said Melinda, "how do you do that?"
"It's called orbing. I can do it because I am a whitelighter. I am like a guardian angel, but you can see me and touch me. You try it. You can probably do it because you are half whitelighter, half witch."
"Okay," Melinda squinted her eyes and thought to herself 'orb, orb, ORB!' suddenly she went up in a cloud of blue sparkling lights. When she came back she said, "I did it, didn't I?"
"Yes sweetie, you did," said Piper. "Let's see what else you can do."
They went through the list of powers that Melinda could possibly have and it turned out that she could freeze things and she had telekinesis, as well as orbing. That night Melinda went to sleep thinking of everything that she found out that day, and the dread of meeting the Source on the following day. Her last thought before she fell asleep was, 'the Source, he must be really bad. Well, with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige, Aunt Prue and me, we will beat him, and it will happen so fast that he won't know what hit him.' Melinda fell asleep with a smile on her face that night.
