(This is the final chapter of Gone. I am going to work on Part Three, the final part of the Taken Series, and release it in a few weeks. It will be called Absolute Power.)
Chapter Twelve – When Melinda Comes to Play
Melinda and Chris orbed
behind a large light brown rock.
"Okay what now?" Chris
asked.
Melinda got on her knees and looked around the rock, and a
demon stood right in front of the rock, and ten more in a circle
around Thor and…
"Wyatt." Melinda said
"What?" Chris said
getting up. He looked with Melinda, and saw his brother. Wyatt was
looking straight ahead.
"I told you he was down here."
Melinda said.
"Okay, genius, what do you want now?" Chris asked
Melinda thought, they weren't powerful enough to say a vanquishing spell for all the demons in the room, but if Wyatt said it with them, they might have enough power. She and Chris could telekinetically kill them all, no too long, that would alert Thor by then, and they would all be dead. Her only solution was…
"Chris get me angry."
She said
"What? So you can turn into glow buster again? No."
"No, look, when I get angry I am taken over by something, I
don't know what, but it's not me. Please just get me ticked off!"
Chris frowned. "Ah
man…" He said, "Alright, but the first sign of trouble, I am
going to orb you out of here. Deal?"
"Deal." She replied.
"Okay, you fucking ass bitch! You never amounted to anything,
Aunt Piper only loved you because she wanted a girl, and she got me
and Wyatt. She always fixed your cooking so it tasted good, when in
truth your cooking sucked."
"What?" Melinda said taking
offense.
"You were never anything. It was always about me and
Wyatt. And you and your dolls are everywhere, you just suck. Why do
you always have to tag along to everything, you need to fuck off Mel,
go die or something, your fucking lame excuse for a witch!"
Before Chris knew it,
he was punched in the face and on the ground. Melinda then looked at
her eyes.
"Oh god." She said
Melinda never felt so angry in her life. Her skin again filled with the White light and her eyes began to glow purple. It was happening, she was being taken over. Then she saw a ghost in front of her, and she entered her body. Here I go! Melinda stood up straight, silent as a mouse; she went behind the demon by the rock, put her hands on his head and broke his neck.
"Wyatt why do you-" Thor said to Wyatt,
"What the hell?" He said noticing the little white glowing
figure. Melinda had her same outline of her body, but her eyes were
glowing purple, and her hair seemed to wave in the windless chamber.
"I think it's time for Wyatt to come with me." She
said
"Who and What the hell are you?" Thor said
"You're demise."
Melinda then shot her hands out and gestured, and the two demons
nearest to her were vanquished.
"NO!" Thor yelled, "KILL
HER!"
Wyatt looked at the
white figure, "Melinda?" he said silently.
Melinda ran to the
nearest demon, punched him in the face, she hoped over him and
gestured and the demon behind the one she punched, was vanquished.
She then vanquished the one she hoped over. Two more demons came to
her, she shot her hand out, and, using her telekinesis, they were
thrown into another demon across the room. A demon came up from
behind her and grabbed her by the arms. Melinda screamed and jumped
up, and around over behind the demon. The demon turned around.
"What
the hell?" The Demon said.
"Bye!" She replied and gestured,
he was vanquished.
She looked around, "four Down."
"KILL HER!" Thor
roared. Wyatt was memorized by the white light and followed it.
Three demons now held Melinda down. One on each arm, and on the
legs, she then screamed and her white light became blinding. The
demon holding her legs, let go of her legs and backed away shielding
his eyes. Melinda then, fell to the ground, she pulled the two demons
down with her. They hit the ground hard. She got up, and gestured.
Six down."
The demon that was holding her legs was now
after her. She threw him across the room.
Chris opened his eyes, his left eye was aching. He heard a demon scream. He looked up and saw Melinda, gesture like his mother, and the two demons on the floor screamed. He then saw her use her telekinesis and throw a demon across the room. He saw two demons come up from behind her.
"MELINDA BEHIND YOU!" Chris yelled.
Wyatt's stomach
dropped. He looked in the direction of the rock, "Chris?" He
said. Thor shot his hand out and fire came from it. He shot the fire
at the rock, and it blew up, Chris was sent flying back. He hit the
wall, he felt his back crack. He screamed in pain.
"NO!"
Wyatt yelled
Thor turned around. "What?"
"That was my
brother." Wyatt said, he conjured an athame in his hand and stabbed
Thor in the shoulder with it. Thor screamed in pain, and next thing
Wyatt knew he was sent flying across the chamber, he hit the wall,
and fell to the floor.
Melinda turned around, and a demon
stood there. She punched him in the face, then kicked him in the
stomach, and kneed him in groan. The demon screamed in agony. He
curled over on the floor.
"Shut up." She said, gestured and
the demon blew up. "Seven Down."
She saw the three on the
other side of the Chamber. They shimmered out. Then she turned her
attention to Thor. Thor was screaming as he pulled the athame out of
his shoulder. Wyatt stood up.
"Stay back." Melinda said
stepping in front of him.
"Who the hell are you?" Thor said
"I told you I am your
demise." Melinda replied, she blinked her purple eyes, and then a
light shot from them and landed on Thor's eyes. Thor screamed in
pain.
"One for life, One for death, vanquish this evil from
what I said!" Melinda yelled.
Fire erupted at Thor's
feet, and he screamed in pain, and he blew up. Then Melinda was
pulled to the floor. Wyatt pulled her down, as Thor imploded on
himself, and a shockwave was sent through the chamber, rattling
everything. The chamber stopped shaking. Melinda opened her eyes.
She got up, she was back to normal. She looked around, no demons, a
large black scorch mark from where Thor was standing, she giggled and
cheered.
"I DID IT! I VANQUISHED EIGHT DEMONS! YAY! I
DID IT!" She then turned to Wyatt. Wyatt had a look of confusion
and awe on his face. She hugged him.
"And I saved you, I can't
wait till I tell Mom about this!"
"That was some serious
power girl." Wyatt said
"Oh I know, it felt
great. I felt so alive-wait where's Chris?"
"Oh god."
Wyatt said. Wyatt and Melinda ran over to Chris' body. Chris
groaned in pain.
"Oh my god, you're alive." Wyatt said, "Oh
god," He noticed Chris was in pain. He placed his hands over Chris'
and he healed him; his back was fully healed.
"Wyatt." Chris
said, "Thank god!" He said He hugged his brother. Wyatt hugged
him back.
"I thought you were dead." Wyatt said.
"So
did I. I think I saw Jesus." Chris said
"huh?" Melinda said
confused.
"I don't care what you saw, as long as you're
okay." Wyatt said letting go, "Just don't scare me like that
again okay."
"Got it."
Melinda felt a psychic
presence, she turned around and right where she was standing, she saw
her dead aunt. Piper.
"Oh my god, Aunt Piper!" Melinda
shirked.
Chris and Wyatt both looked up. They were astonished at
what they saw. They stood up.
Piper walked over.
"How?"
Wyatt said.
"You're father. You
thought he left you, when he really didn't, he was getting me to
come to you guys." Piper replied. She smiled and looked at Chris.
"Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you had to go through this all
alone. But I was there with you every step of the way, and I still
am."
"You were?" Chris said as tears form in his eyes.
"Yes, and I always will be. It was my time, and Chris, please
don't be sad. You will do great things, you were meant to."
Chris nearly broke
down. Piper hugged him.
"Oh honey, it will be fine, it will be
okay."
"I am going to miss you so much."
"And I will
miss you, but I only a spell away." She replied, "besides, you're
next power is going to be an awesome one, I've seen it."
"Really?" Chris replied with eyes gleaming with tears and a
smile.
"Would I lie to you?" She said pulling back. Chris
whipped his tears away from his face. She then turned to Wyatt.
"Sweetie, I am so sorry that you felt the pressure of this on you,
but you'll do fine, I promise."
"I know." He replied with
a smile.
"Melinda, awesome work, I was really proud you."
Piper smiled, "Chris is wrong, you are going to be an awesome witch
when you grow up I can tell." She winked at Melinda. Melinda's
eyes had tears, then overwhelmed by emotion, she hugged her. Piper
hugged her back closely. Melinda let go whipping tears from her face,
and then Piper hugged, Wyatt.
"Goodbye Wyatt, call me if you
need me. I love you."
"I love you too." Wyatt replied.
Piper let go, she admired her sons, and niece, and slowly faded
away from view.
"Come on, let's
go." Chris said.
"yeah," Wyatt replied.
As Wyatt joined hands with his brother and cousin they orbed home.
The Blonde Witch sat in
his bedroom again alone. He talked to the one and only Penny
Halliwell.
"So," He said, "Please explain to me what I have
to do anything with the Charmed Ones."
Penny Halliwell looked
at James Matthews with content and interest. "A witch with your
power and knowledge of magic should be rewarded for his efforts."
"What reward?"
"James; good magic is dying, along with
evil magic."
"That's good…I mean the evil magic."
"Yes,
but if one side dies so does the other. It's too keeping the
balance of things. Soon, all magic will die, like it nearly did
during the Salem witch trials."
"But that was only here in
America."
"Yes, but that was on the only trails recorded. Mass
witch burnings were happening then, all over the world. Over 40,000
witches were killed; four from my line."
"I am sorry."
James said, "Wait, wouldn't that made Melinda-"
"She had
sisters, four sisters." Penny said, "They were known as the Coven
of the Triquetra, the most powerful coven in the world."
James
sat in awe.
"She was the eldest sister. In sacrifice, they gave themselves up with false names; Sarah Good, Bridget Bishop, and so on."
"So those were real names?"
"You bet they were.
After that Melinda fled, but years after, after she had a daughter,
Prudence, she was caught, and burned."
"Oh, so what does all
this have to do with me?"
"It has to do with you, because you
come from a different kind of witches."
"And that is?"
"Old World."
"Old world?"
"You still use spells
with Latin in them, Latin is the old world language."
"Oh,
okay."
"Yes."
"And…"
"And
I want you to be the second member of a coven of witches, which will
be more powerful then the Charmed Ones ever were."
"Yeah
right, the Charmed Ones were the most powerful witches in the world."
"But you and the rest of your coven will go down in history and
most powerful."
"Okay, I'll bite, what is this coven
called?"
"The Alliance of Three."
"And who else is in
it?"
Penny Halliwell smiled…..
