A/N: Wow, we're starting the second half of this story! Only 20 chapters left! peanutlb: lol I thought you might be. I believe it will begin in chapter 24, unless something comes up and I need it to start later. lol No problemo. You go right ahead and give one of your Little Charmed Ones Auric Sight. It would actually make me feel very, very happy:) (P.S. Can't wait for the next chapter of EC!) C.C. McKenna: Really? My muse is a pretty friendly gal and she really loves pink, you should see her "muse wear". lol I think they'd have a fine time, your muse and mine, maybe we should set them up on a shopping trip? (And have them pick up some cookie dough on their way back. Because muse or no, that always helps with the creative urges, yes?) LOL Thanks for the review! I can't wait for more of"EarthQuake"! sugah-crystal-101: No prob. Well, let's see. You could always make up your own powers or a "play on powers" by combining powers or something like that (like I did with Pearl's power). But as far as "already existing abilities"; geokinesis, echokinesis, vitakinesis, magnokinesis... rjf: Ahh! They took the "2004" out of your penname! First uploading, then Peanut, now you! What's next? Taking the "y" out of "Pinky"? Grr! Anyway, thanks for the review and I'm so glad you liked it! wyatt333: No, because she wasn't pulled out of a specific time period. She's a ghost, so she can't "die again", so to speak. LeoPiperAndyPrue: That's cool. I can't wait for the next chapter. BTW, congrats on the offer for the paper!

The Children Of Light
Chapter 21: Saving Grace

A blinding lemon yellow portal filled the hallway of the Manor, pushing Melinda Warren out of it. She looked around, before hearing voices in the kitchen. I made it! She began to run as fast as she could.

-

"Incoming!" Paige yelled, as she sensed evil fill the room. Then her eyes spotted Daven flame in. "Guys!"

Phyre immediately sprang into action. She jumped into a orb-flying spin kick and sent of series of chops to Daven, sending him flying into the kitchen table, breaking it. Then she orb-flew to the ground.

Daven flamed out and then flamed in behind Grace, grabbing her by the neck.

"No!" Melinda Warren screamed, as she ran into the kitchen, her hands immediately releasing a powerful freeze on the entire room, and stopping Daven, just as he was about to break Grace's neck.

"Melinda!" Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige said in unison.

"No time! Paige, go take Grace's hand and orb her out of Daven's grasp! If you don't, he'll kill her and the entire line after her will be erased from history!" Melinda warned, urgently.

Without argument, Paige rushed over to Grace's side and took her hand, expertly orbing them out.

At that moment, the room unfroze and Daven fell forward, since there was nothing for him to clutch. "What" Daven looked up to meet Melinda's eyes. "You!"

"That's right!" Melinda hissed, as she swung her arms forward, hurling Daven into the wall with a mighty telekinetic blast.

Daven crashed through the wall, sailing into the living room. Blood was trickling freely from the side of his head, as he rose to his feet. "This isn't over! I will kill you all" With that, he flamed out.

"Wh-what just happened" Phoebe asked, turning expectantly to Melinda. "Give me your hands." Melinda said, holding her own out to Phoebe.

Phoebe took her hands and was overwhelmed by a powerful surge of energy rushing through her; she was being sucked into a premonition.

-Premonition-

"Incoming!" Paige yelled, as she sensed evil fill the room. Then her eyes spotted Daven flame in. "Guys!"

Phyre immediately sprang into action. She jumped into a orb-flying spin kick and sent of series of chops to Daven, sending him flying into the kitchen table, breaking it. Then she orb-flew to the ground.

Daven flamed out and then flamed in behind Grace, grabbing her by the neck, and eagerly twisting it to a resounding 'pop'! He removed his hands and let the witch fall to the floor, dead. Then he watched eagerly as the decendents in the room began to cry out in pain and turn into ghostly figures, before finally vanishing into nothingness. "Yes!" He cried out in amazement. "I've finally vanquished the Warren line!" He cried, joyously, before flaming out.

-

A massive flash of light spread over the entire world, literally re-writing hundreds of years of history.

-

"Noooo!" Melinda Warren screamed, as her spirit watched everything change, from her spiritual resting place in the skies. She looked towards the spirits of Penny and Patty, who vanished from sight, since they were never born. As she looked around, more and more spirits of her descendants began to vanish, leaving only those up until Grace Greenburg herself was the last Warren witch.

The remaining Warren witches crowded around Melinda, their voices loud and full of panic. All of them looking to Melinda for help.

"What do we do, Mel?" Carlton Reindon asked.

Melinda looked down on Earth, bewildered.

"I have an idea." Robert Warren announced, stepping towards his daughter, Melinda.

Melinda looked up, meeting her father's eyes. "Dad?"

"I once heard it theorized that if there was enough psychic movement, there might be a way to open a portal that would move a person through time." Robert said.

"But how would we do that?" Melinda asked, warily.

Robert looked around the vast white mist of the afterlife. "How many of us here have telekinetic powers?" He stepped forward, raising his arm. "I, myself, am a telekinetic."

Melinda, Prudence Wentworth, and Laura Greenburg raised their arms.

"What do you propose, grandfather?" Prudence asked, bewildered.

"I propose that we send your mother back to the future." Robert replied, as he gently took his granddaughter's hand. "Who, besides Melinda, has the ability to freeze?"

"I do." Replied a gray haired woman, Astrid Sylvester.

"Good, we'll need you too."

"Why?" Astrid asked, confused as to what her great great grandfather had in mind.

"Just trust me." Robert replied.

"We do, father." Melinda replied, as she surveyed the group. "What do you want us to do?"

"I need the telekinetics to form a large circle, a connected circle." Robert answered.

Melinda, Prudence, and Laura joined hands. Robert finished off the circle by taking the free hands of his daughter and granddaughter.

"I need everyone else to stand back. We need a lot of space."

The remaining Warren witches took steps back, away from the quartet.

"On four, we must focus all of our telekinetic energy into the center." Rober explained, motioning his head towards the center of the foursome. "All right!"

Prudence, Laura, and Melinda nodded.

"Four, three, two, one!" Robert yelled, as he narrowed his eyes and focused massive amounts of telekinetic energy into the circle.

Prudence, Melinda, and Laura did the same.

Then at the same time, the connect group raised their hands, sending even more telekinetic energy into the circle, until they could see a massive ball of telekinetic energy in their mind's eye. With so much energy, the group could feel the air being shoved past them and psuhing their clothing tighter to them.

"Astrid!" Robert yelled, over the whipping wind that had been summoned from such a massive collection of telekinetic power. "Freeze the telekinetic energy"

"What?" Astrid gasped. "I-I don't think I'm powerful enough!"

"Hurry! Try!" Robert replied, as he shut his eyes.

Astrid raised her arms and closed her eyes tightly, focusing all her power and magic into the invisible force that so strongly shook in the center of the foursome. Then she flicked her wrists, in a Piper like manner. The wind stopped, as the telekinetic mass frozen.

"Melinda, hurry! Use your power; you're the strongest!" Robert yelled.

Melinda broke the circle and raised her hands, reinforcing her great granddaughter's freeze with her own freezing ability.

"That won't hold it for long." Robert informed, as he looked around. "We need someone to 'jump start' the energy. I'm confident that there is enough to open a time portal, but it needs to react with something, in order to do that."

"Would an electric charge work?" Helena Freeman.

"It might. What are you thinking?" Robert asked.

"Well, I have the power of electrokinesis." Helena replied, as she held out her hands and sparks ignited from her finger tips.

"Alan might be able to help!" Astrid said, as she pulled her husband forward. "He has empathy. He could channel Helena's powers and they could both send an electric charge into the mass."

"That might work." Robert agreed. "But we have to hurry, I can all ready feel Melinda's freeze wearing off." He moved Helena and Alan into position.

Alan cleared his mind, focusing his mind on his daughter, and channeling her emotions; with them, came her electrokinetic power. "Okay, I'm ready." He said.

"Good." Robert motioned to everyone else. "Form a huge circle around them, with Melinda in the center. Alan and Helena need to be stationed on opposite sides of the telekinetic ball, within the circle as well."

Within a few minutes, the formation had taken place. Melinda stood about 4 feet from the massive ball of frozen telekinetic energy. Alan stood on the east side of the ball and Helena stood on the west; their hands poised.

"Now!" Robert cried out.

Instantly four massive beams of neon energy flew from the hands of Alan and Helena; two beams on each side. The telekinetic ball of energy exploded into a vast power, sending powerful air blasts everywhere. The telekinetic energy shifted and crackled, then became a glowing yellow burst, before finally forming into a lemon yellow glowing portal.

Melinda stood, facing the portal, with only one thing on her mind. She took one step forward, feeling the tug of the portal that was calling her near.

"Go now, Melinda!" Robert yelled to his only daughter.

Melinda took a deep breath and ran into the portal. There was a loud burst of electricity and then the portal closed.

-

A blinding lemon yellow portal filled the hallway of the Manor, pushing Melinda Warren out of it. She looked around, before hearing voices in the kitchen. She began to run as fast as she could.

-Premonition-

Phoebe's eyes were wide, as the premonition ended. "We..we were really erased?" She said, as Paige orbed back in with Grace.

"What do you mean, 'erased'?" Paige questioned.

"Daven really killed Grace. We were never born and all of history was re-written. I just saw it" Phoebe exclaimed, as her hands shook with fright. "We-we have to vanquish him!"

"No, you need to keep Grace safe, until she's sent back to her own time." Melinda instructed.

"Will you be staying with us?" Prue asked.

"Do I have a choice?" Melinda asked. "I won't leave until I know my family is safe!"
