Here is my Christmas present to everyone. I updated!

As the sisters looked through the book of shadows, Leo orbed up to the elders to see if there were any other whitelighters that had children.

As they began flicking through the book of shadows, Melinda and Ben orbed into the attic behind a pile of boxes to hear what they were saying. They knew it was a bit of a risky thing to do but so far they had found out nothing and they were getting desperate.

"A Warlock called Kristof, that kills witches to take their powers, the following spell will vanquish him" read Phoebe from the book of shadows as she rocked Ben to sleep.

"Well that won't be very hard, which means we can focus on the problem of who these children are" Piper was thankful that it wasn't more complicated because they already had enough to deal with.

Ben saw that Melinda looked like she was about to cry, so he quickly shimmered her out of the house before anyone realised they were in the house. Ben didn't feel like being killed today, thank you.

"This is stupid, we're just making things worse. All they care about now is finding out who we are, for all I know we're making things worse" Melinda began to cry with despair, she doubted they would ever be able to save her family. As her body shook with sobs, Ben made her sit down on the steps; afraid she would collapse on the spot.

Melinda stuck her hand in her pocket and pulled a hanky out, while Ben tried to calm her sobs worried that her family in the house behind them would be able to hear her.

"What's that?" asked Ben as he reached for the envelope, which had fallen from Melinda's coat pocket, when she'd pulled her hanky out.

"Oh, I found it in that book, while we were in the attic" said Melinda, "it's just a bundle of old paper" she exclaimed as Ben began to remove the pieces of paper from the envelope.

"It's addressed to us," Ben gasped in surprise.

Astounded, Melinda dried her eyes and turned to Ben "what does it say?"

To Melinda & Ben,

You are probably wondering about everything that has happened, so here is a short explanation. Ben, it was us that took you as an infant for safety and left you in a home 100's of miles away from Melinda. We hid all existence of you, to keep you safe. Together you would have been in danger, apart you would survive. As we knew it would one day, fate brought you together. The time vortex was designed to appear as soon as the two of you were close enough together and held this letter. We have sent you back to the year 2006 so you can warn your parents of a mistake they made. This letter was written in 2015 after we discovered how the tragic mistake occurred. We have no knowledge of how much time has passed from that moment to now, since we are unsure of your knowledge of your early years we will say this; Melinda, your parents are Piper Halliwell & Leo Wyatt. Ben your parents are Phoebe & Cole Turner. Your mothers and aunt were 3 of the most powerful witches, called the charmed ones. They have a book of magic spells and demon information in their attic called the book of shadows, which you must have already seen as that is where we left this letter. The charmed ones went to vanquish a demon, but wrongly identified it as a warlock, this mistake killed your parents, aunt and all the innocents they should have been there to protect. In truth the demon had come from the future from the year 2015 and was a powerful high level demon, enclosed is the information needed on the demon and the vanquish spell required. You must get the information to them many lives depend on it. Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt, Ben Turner, good luck

The elders.

"That means the baby, my cousin, is you." Melinda was shocked as she took the letter from Ben. "We're family"

"By doing this, I'm saving my parents too. I'll have a family" Ben was amazed, he never thought anything like this could ever happen, he'd accepted years ago that he'd never know his past or who his parents had been. He'd even begun to doubt they'd died; he'd wondered if his parents had just given him up because they hadn't wanted him. But now he'd seen how much he'd been wanted; hadn't his father almost killed them because he thought they might harm baby him.

"I wonder who sent the letter, I mean who are 'the elders'" said Melinda as she turned the letter over looking for any clue as to who they were.

Melinda picked up the remaining piece of paper from the envelope "I think its one of the pages of that book, you know the one the letter mentioned." Her eyes skimmed down the page and began to read "Guiser (the shortened version of his original name the disguiser), is a high level demon that has the ability to take the forms of lower level demons to trick witches into believing he is someone else, which gives him the upper hand in the fight in which, witches rarely win. The Guiser no matter what form in which he hides, can always be identified by a symbol which looks like this #, which appears on his right hand."

Melinda jumped up "We have the answer now, we can save them. All we have to do is tell them about this demon Guiser and they can be prepared and they won't die"

"That's all" Ben scoffed "the second they see us they're going to try and kill us, so where are we going to fit in the explanation for what's going on? While we're running for our lives from a fireball or worse!"

"Fine. It's not quite that simple but we just need to come up with a plan that will give us time to explain everything before they kill us."
