Chapter 1

"Kids, your breakfast is getting cold!" Piper Halliwell yelled up the stairs of the manor.

"We're coming!" her fifteen year-old daughter, Melinda called back.

Melinda hurried down the stairs. Behind her was her eighteen year- old brother Wyatt, her fifteen year-old cousin, Tori, and her eleven year- old cousin, Blake.

In the kitchen, Piper was putting breakfast on the table.

"Morning sis!" Phoebe said, coming into the kitchen.

"Hey," Piper said. "Any idea how Paige is doing?"

"I wish I did," Phoebe said. "I know you were a wreck the day before your wedding. I was a wreck for my wedding."

"Which wedding?" Piper asked. "To Cole, to David, or to Cole again?"

"Funny," Phoebe said, sitting down.

"Morning guys," Tori said as the kids walked in.

"Morning," Phoebe said.

"Has dad gotten back yet?" Wyatt asked his mother.

"No. He orbed out last night with Prue and Andy, and they haven't gotten back yet," Piper said.

The words were barely out of her mouth when Leo orbed in.

"Hi dad," Melinda said. "Where are Prue and Andy?"

"They had other charges to deal with," Leo replied. "Anyway, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but."

"No demons, please no demons," Paige cut him off as she walked into the kitchen.

"Paige we've all battled some supernatural thing on our wedding days," Phoebe said.

"Yeah," Piper agreed. "With me it was Prue's astral projection gone wild."

"My first wedding, Cole was the Source," Phoebe said. "My second wedding, a warlock shape-shifted into David. And my third wedding, we dealt with Melanie."

"Glad to see it wasn't too bad for you," Piper said.

Tori whistled. "I think Uncle Leo was trying to tell us something."

"Thanks Tori," Leo said. "There is a demon on the lose. He escaped from the Elder's prison."

This time Melinda cut him off. "The Elders have a prison?"

"It's where they put demons that are extremely hard to vanquish and are very dangerous," Leo explained. "This demon, Tyvan, is an ancient demon. He has been around for centuries. He was the demon who stole the symbol of the pentagram from good and adopted it for evil. Therefore, the Source at that time gave him the title, the demon of the pentagram."

"What do they want us to do now?" Blake asked.

"Nothing yet," Leo answered.

"You guys aren't doing anything now anyway," Piper said. "You have school. You've completed your first week back."

Wyatt glanced at his watch. "I'll drive you guys. My first class starts in half an hour."

The kids stood up, said goodbye to the adults, and left.

"You will never believe who I saw at the mall last night," Melinda's friend, Janie Sanders said once they were at Baker High.

"Who?" Melinda asked.

"Josh Patterson," Janie said with a giggle.

Melinda forced a smile. She wasn't crushing anyone ever again. Last time she did, her crush turned out to be a Darklighter, which are supernatural beings that kill Whitelighters. The Darklighter had shot Melinda. And since she was half Whitelighter, she nearly died.

"I heard he likes you," Janie said.

"Please Janie," Melinda replied. Melinda couldn't help feeling flattered. She did think Josh was kind of cute.

"There he is!" Janie squealed.

Melinda glanced up to see Josh coming towards them. She desperately wanted to freeze the hallway and make a run for it, but that would only risk exposure.

"Hi Melinda," Josh said.

"Hey," Melinda answered.

"Look, I was wondering maybe if you wanted to go out to dinner on Sunday," he asked. "I have a football game Saturday."

"Uhmm," Melinda said. "Sorry. I can't."

"Ok, well that's cool," Josh replied. "Offer still stands."

Josh turned and left.

"I don't believe you Melinda!" Janie exclaimed. "He's the hottest guy at Baker."

"I'm a sophomore and he's a junior," Melinda began. "And he's a jock."

"But a smart jock," Janie said. "Come on Mel! I live vicariously though you, and you know that."

"Oh no you don't," Melinda thought. "If you did live vicariously though me, then you'd run as fast as you can in the opposite direction."

Tori ran up to them. "I need to steal Melinda for a sec."

Tori pulled Melinda into the janitor's closet.

"Why are we in here?" Melinda asked.

"Because I had a premonition," Tori said. "And it wasn't pretty."
