I sat at my bed tears streaming down my face. I got up and looked in the mirror. I looked so horrible, with my blood shot eyes and tears pouring down my cheeks. You might wonder why I'm having a melt down. Well me and my cousin Grace had this boat ride all figured out with our boyfriends and then my mom and aunts have to ruin it by saying that all my cousins have to come along. Yeah you might be thinking she's crying over this? Well this is a big deal for me and I got my mom's emotional side along with her stubbornness. I heard a knock on my door and completely ignored it. I had no intention of speaking of anyone right now.

"Melinda open the door now!" ordered my mother as she stood at the other side.

I sighed. I basically had no choice since my dad could easily orb into my room if she wanted him to. I slowly got up and walked towards my door. I opened it slowly and saw my mom standing there looking pretty mad, when she saw my face though she melted but only for a minute.

"What was that back there Mel? That's something Prue would do!" my mom said trying so hard not to yell at me.

I stared at the ground. I was not going to talk to her at all. I was still pretty mad and she was growing on my nerves pretty quickly.

"You have a choice," Piper said through clenched teeth. "You either have your cousins and sister come with you and Grace on the boat ride or your not going at all"

I couldn't believe it. Sometimes I just hate my sister. I have to share everything with her. She's mom and dads little angel. They wouldn't suspect her of doing anything wrong. I started there looking at my mom, my mouth open so much I thought my jaw was going to reach the floor. She gave me one last look to know that she meant business and walked out of my room. I wanted to scream. She always ruins my plans. When I finally think I could control my self I walked downstairs where I found Prue and my dad sitting they're playing some stupid board game.

"Melinda come play with us!" Prue exclaimed as she laughed when she knocked dad's piece off of the board game using her telekinesis.

I gave her a mean look and continued walking towards the kitchen. I heard my dad say something but I blocked them out of my mind right now. When I reached the kitchen I found my mom sitting at the table, looking at bills for P3.

"Fine" I snapped as I grabbed a juice box out of the fridge.

My mom put a fake smile on her face and tried to look happy. Of course she was happy that everyone was going, but wasn't the way I spoke to her. "That's great Melinda. Thank you"

I'm so glad I let my sister and cousins come even though they would kind of get in the way. You should've seen them. They were all excited jumping all around. My sister and our cousin Rylan were jumping up and down and screeching. My cousin CJ, well short for Cole Jr. was imitating them but you could tell that he was pretty excited to. I looked over at Grace and we exchanged a look as we thought of the fact that we were bringing them with us. We had smiles on our face though when two cars pulled up beside the manor. Since there was so many people the boys agreed to take both of their cars.

"Jay hi!" I exclaimed as my boyfriend wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a soft peck on the lips. I smiled at him as he pulled away slightly so we could walk up to the manor. My parents and my aunts were waiting there to give the boys the third degree, while they were doing that me and Grace took the kids aside and told them the basic rules.

"No telling the moms if were drinking or smoking on the boat. Most definitely though, no using magic!" I said as I looked at each of the kids to make sure they all understood.

"What about just a little magic?" asked Rylan softly.

"Ry no magic!" exclaimed Grace to her sister.

They all nodded in an agreement after awhile and we were pretty sure that we could survive the boat ride just fine. Just then I felt arms go around my waist and a chin rest on my shoulder. The younger kids started giggling.

"Ready to go?" asked Jay as he put his hand into mine.

"Yup" I said as I held my hand out to Prue. It was my responsible as a big sister to watch over her everywhere, and to make sure that she wasn't feeling left out.

"Rylan and CJ will come with me" Gracie said trying to stifle her giggles as her boyfriend, Kayden, was tickling at her sides.

"Alright then see ya there" I said and started walking towards the car. I stopped short though when I got a funny feeling about something. I turned around to see Grace feeling the same thing.

"Melinda come on" Prue whined as she pulled on my hand.

"You okay?" asked Jay as he whispered into my ear.

I nodded. "Can you get Prue ready for me, I'll be back in a minute?"

I didn't even give him a chance to answer as I ran across the lawn and pulled Grace away from Kayden, who were also helping the kids get ready for the half an hour ride to the dock.

"I feel weird to" Grace said after I told her how I was feeling. We both looked at each other, like we were reading each other's minds. We hugged and gave each other reassuring hugs. Nothing was wrong. I ran back to the car and got in, buckling my self in. Jay looked at me and I smiled reassuring him that everything was okay. He smiled and pulled out onto the road.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I felt the salty air against my neck as I stood hover over the side of the boat, glancing out at the last piece of land that I could see. Prue was ride beside me, like she was in a trance to was looking towards land.

"Its okay Prue will be back soon" I said trying to cheer her up.

"Yup I know" Prue said as she stepped away from the dock. She ran away when she found Rylan and CJ playing with a spare rope they found.

I smiled and noticed to myself that I haven't seen Kayden or Jay since we sailed out. I looked around. I saw the kids laughing hysterically as CJ was doing a crazy trick on the rope. I looked to my left and saw Grace sitting down on a lawn chair reading a book. I frowned. Where were they? I then noticed a wisp of clothing go around the corner. I walked slowly to the ground and stopped myself when I found an open door. Inside I heard voices.

"Where are we going to do it?" asked Jay.

"Pretty soon Jay just be patient. We almost have them where we want them" I heard Kayden say.

I bit my lip as a worried expression came over my face. I walked back to the main part of the boat and immediately Grace knew something was wrong. She ran to me and put her arms around my shoulder.

"Are you okay hun?" she asked as she led me over to the one of the lawn chairs.

I shook my head. This was not supposed to happen. It was suppose to be perfect. "I think the boys are up to something"

Grace looked at me as if I had smoke coming out of my ears. "That's crazy, but hey where are the boys?"

I sighed. "I noticed that they were gone so I went looking for them and I found them in a room talking. Kayden said something about having us where they wanted them or something like that"

Grace's face turned a pale as she leaned back. I could almost see the wheels inside of her head spinning. "I'll go check okay? Okay"

Before I could protest though she was already walking towards the end of the boat. There was no stopping her when she put her mind to something. I leaned back at watched the kids for a while when I noticed that Grace was gone for a to long of time. I quickly got up and ran back where that room was. The scene I saw next I would never forget. I saw Grace passed out on the floor with Jay and Kayden surrounding her. It wasn't the boy's bodies though. They had green slimy and very muscular bodies and I bet they sensed me because they turned their attention from Grace and before I could run they grabbed me and put a cloth to my mouth. I tried so hard not to breathe in but pretty soon I had to and then the world went black.
