Chapter Two
Forced into the Job
Melinda Kate Halliwell-Wyatt sat across from her father starring vaguely into his eyes. Melinda didn't know why she was here with The Charmed Ones and her father but she had a feeling it wasn't going to end well.
" So you're my Daughter?" Leo asked putting a cup of tea down in front of Melinda, he didn't have to worry about hiding her from the Charmed ones because Piper was at her club, P3, Paige at Magic school and Phoebe in her office at the Bay Mirror
" Yes I suppose I am but I wont be born for along time yet so you don't have to worry about me being another Chris" Melinda said and gave a small flinch as she noticed the hurt in Leo's eyes. Melinda knew that Chris would always hold a very special part in her fathers heart but in her own way she didn't want to be the only child not to have someone special
" You have someone special Melinda"
the voice inside her head told her but she just shook it of. Before she could do anything the air around her began to fill with hundreds of little blue orbs signifying the entrance of a whitelighter or an elder
" Leo" one of the new figure stated in a high and mighty voice, Melinda looked down at the robes he was wearing and knew he was an elder
" You have bought forth Melinda Kate Halliwell-Wyatt to your time out of pure need for your son's company and now she must be returned" Elder#1 explained and raised his hand to show a small potion bottle filled with a purple concoction. Leo lunged forward so that he was standing in front of Melinda
" No you can't take my daughter I wont let you" Leo pleaded and eventually the Elder let the potion slip back inside his sleeve
" Fine Leo, your daughter shall not return but she must make a sacrifice to earn her stay in this time" Melinda looked horrified how could they expect her to sacrifice someone, Leo nodded
" I'll leave it up to you" he replied and stepped back behind Melinda putting a reassuring hand on top of her shoulder
" Melinda Kate Halliwell-Wyatt the punishment you shall receive for crossing the barriers of time without permission is…" the Elder smiled letting them know he was enjoying it " Recruitment, You Melinda will take on the well deserved position of Whitelighter to The Charmed ones the position that had belonged to your brother Christopher Perry". With a small smile and a grim nod the Elders were gone,
" They can't force me to do this can they?" Melinda asked turning to look at her father
" I'm afraid they can" Leo replied.
