Chapter Three - First Demon Encounter
The atmosphere in the Manor after the family dinner three days ago had been tough to say the least. With Piper not being able to so much as look at her youngest son, Leo decided to call a family meeting, hoping that it would settle and problems and clear the air.
'Come on you two, we need to get this sorted out for everyone's sake…. especially the baby's'
'Okay then I'll start' Piper replied in her usual sarcastic manner 'Does Mel even know about magic Chris? Huh, does she understand that she could be carrying a powerful child, that could possibly be orbing her around the globe as we speak?'
'No, not yet' Chris told his family, obviously feeling sorry for himself. 'It's just I haven't had the chance yet…I was waiting for the right time to-
Just then Melissa appeared in a swirl of bright white lights, looking very confused as to how she got there!
'So is now the right time Chris? Piper asked staring at the mother of her future Grandchild
'How…. how did I get here, I was just in my room…. I don't understand' Melissa was obviously scared at the fact that she had just been transported across the city…. without a car or bus!
'Look, Melissa we need to talk. It's about the baby and me' Chris said sympathetically
'We'll leave you two alone to talk honey' Piper said quietly
'No mom, please stay you can explain it better than I can, you've been through it before' He replied, looking as though he really needed help this time'
Piper couldn't help but want to be there for her son at a time like this, he needed her to be there for him
'Sure sweetie if that's what you want'
'WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON! Shouted Melissa, tears beginning to fall.
'Mel, honey' Piper began, knowing this would require a woman's touch 'There's no simple way to put this your child has magical powers, inherited from it's fathers side'
'Wait, what are you saying, that you're all some kind magical cult?' Melissa asked, her tears falling more and more heavily now
'Not exactly' Chris cut in 'See we're witches and so is the baby.'
'You're kidding me right? This is just a joke!' Replied Melissa, still in a state of confusion
'If you don't believe me then watch' and with that Chris orbed out and back in again. The shock of seeing this caused Melissa to pass out in the spot, where she was caught by a very concerned looking Leo.
A few moments later Melissa came to and was ready to talk about the whole magic thing, although she was still looking quite pale and overwhelmed by everything.
'So let me get this straight, you are all witches, which also makes my baby a witch too?'
'Yep that's right! But listen Mel, you can't tell anyone about this we can't risk being expose or all the good we do will be wasted' Okay? Piper replied
'Yeah sure, but can I at least tell my parents? I mean they already know I'm pregnant, and they were gonna call you once they figured out Chris was the father, and that's when I turned up here'
'Yes of course you can sweetie! Lets just wait a while before, okay?'
'Yeah okay, thanks Mrs Halliwell
'No problem, and you don't have to call me that, you're family now so you can call me Piper!'
It seemed that nothing could ruin this moment in the Halliwell Manor, when suddenly a mouldy looking demon shimmered in and aimed an energy ball straight at Melissa!
'LEAVE HER ALONE!' Chris shouted as he deflected the energy ball with his power of telekinesis. The deflected ball hit the demon, but didn't have much of an effect, as he made his way over to Melissa. Just then, a massive shot of fire came charging out of Melissa's hands and hit the demon directly in the chest. And with that he shimmed out, leaving a chunk of demon flesh behind. Everyone faced Melissa open mouthed, wondering what had just happened. Even Paige, Kyle and the kids had come to see what all the commotion was, and had got there just in time to see the fire bolt
'Mel are you okay honey' asked Chris, obviously worried
'I….I think so. How the hell did I do that? And what was that thing
'That my girl' said Piper before Chris had the chance 'was a demon, and I think judging by that power, that my grandchild here is gonna be more powerful than we thought!'
