Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed. If I did, Alyssa would never have cut her hair and it wouldn't be so Phoebe centric. Leo and Piper would be together, they should say just tell the other one how they feel, it's so obvious there're like 5 times in each ep where they've had the chance. And Paige would be all loved up with someone. And I'd be the one kissing Leo everyday and getting paid for it. I could go on forever but you wouldn't want that.

A/N: As I said this isn't from anyone's POV, cuz basically I couldn't be bothered as I'd written the chapters first, and it sounds better this way. This chapter happened 10 years before the previous chapter, so that's probably like 10 years from now. And it's basically a memory she was reliving or memories as it may be.

I love you all for reviewing; don't think I've ever had so may for just one chapter! Big cyber hug to everyone who reviewed.

"Melinda, baby don't cry, I'm right here." Piper said to her 4 year old daughter as she picked her up trying to comfort her. "It's okay, it was just a dream."

"No, Mommy it was... i... it was a de..." Melinda, who was trying to tell her mother that it was a premonition, got cut off as a rather ugly 6ft tall demon with deep purple skin and black markings shimmered into the living room.

"Well...well...well it's 2 for the price of 1 tonight. And one of them's a Charmed one aren't you?" The demon asked in a low voice.

Piper didn't respond as she was trying to comfort her daughter whilst calling for her sons, Wyatt and Chris and her husband Leo. Wyatt and Chris orbed in first and tried to freeze the demon, but it was no use he was trying to break free of the freeze. A minute later Leo orbed in with Paige and Phoebe. Leo took Melinda from Piper just seconds before everyone ducked behind the sofa because the demon had broken out of the freeze and had now thrown a fireball at them.

"Oh God! What the hell does he want; if there isn't someone after my sisters or me then they're after my children. Will this ever stop?" Piper said under her breath angrily.

"Paige can you orb the Book of Shadows down here?" Phoebe asked younger sister, but before Paige could respond the demon turned to face the sofa.

"Don't think I won't be back, I'll get you and soon!" The demon said with an evil laugh as he shimmered out.

"I can but try. Book of Shadows." Paige said firmly, glad that the demon had left. Within a minuet blue and white orbs appeared into Paige's hand forming the Book of Shadows.

"Paige, can I look for him?" Chris asked taking the book and using his TK to look for him.

"Wait, stop Chris. Wasn't that him?" Said his older brother.

"OMG!"

"What is it Paige?" asked Phoebe, Piper and Leo.

"It's Shankmorot an upper level demon. We need a vanquishing potion and spell, maybe a power of three one anyway it needs to be powerful and we need it quick in like 5!" Paige says quickly as the demon shimmers back in.

"Don't say I didn't warn you!"

No one said anything they all stared, silently swearing that they hadn't been able to get the potion or write the spell. So instead they just fought as heard as they could for what seemed like hours.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~half an hour later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shankmorot finally got one of the Charmed ones in the stomach with a deadly fireball and shimmered out knowing his work was done.

Mixed cries of "Piper!" and "Mom!" could be heard throughout the street as everyone inside the manor rushed to Piper's side. It was not a pretty side, she was severely injured, her whole body was screaming out with pain, yet she couldn't manage to say anything. There was blood everywhere. Paige, Leo, Wyatt and Chris all went to Piper's side to heal her. Phoebe hung back feeling useless so instead held Piper's hand telling her it would be alright. Melinda did the same on her other side. Everyone had tears streaming down their faces, as Piper clung to her little girl, wishing she could say that she was gonna be alright, but somehow she knew it wouldn't be. About half an hour later the familiar golden glow started to fade. No- one wanted to believe what was going on, it couldn't happen, they couldn't loose her; not now, not ever. Everything and everyone fell silent as a dark shadow fell over the manor, closing the door on many happy memories. Leo pulled back at stared at Piper lovingly; he then pushed her hair out of her face. Shortly after he stopped, everyone else stopped understanding what had just happened, that is everyone except Melinda. Leo was the only one who saw her soul floating up to the ceiling, it was obvious from the look on her face that she didn't want to leave, but at least now she would be with, Grams, her Mom and Prue.

"I'm so sorry Piper. I love you." He sighed and then said, "Please Piper, don't do this you can't leave us, we need you, I need you!" Leo then turned and scooped up Melinda as he cried, he couldn't believe what had just happened, he was filled with anger, rage, loss and sorrow. Leo had just lost the one thing that meant the most to him in the whole world. Melinda looked up at her father, worried, scared and confused.

"Daddy, what's wrong, why did you stop. Don't stop make her better. Make her better now!" Melinda wriggled out of her father's arms and scrambled over to her mother and tried to heal her, but she couldn't, it wasn't working. Melinda blamed herself, for not warning her with enough time to spare and mostly for not being able to heal her.

"Melinda baby, I don't know how to tell you this, but I can't help Mommy, no-one can." Leo hated to be the one to tell Melinda this, she was so attached to her mother, he could tell it would break her little heart, Melinda just looked at him, with such an expression on her face, it broke Leo's heart for the second time that day telling her that her mother had just died. It was then that the world started to fall apart, nothing would ever be the same again, not just for the family but for the whole world. In one small hour, so much had happened that had the power to destroy the world and everything along with it. The world was not ready for this; no- one was prepared for what was to follow.

A/N: K, so that was like Mel's memory of what happened, I just found it easier to write like that next chapter will be Melinda's POV again.

Goldstranger: I like to think that they do have Mel. But know they just have her after Wyatt and Chris. So my future fics usually have her in.

Now u all know what I'm gonna ask u to do, so just push that lil' button and review.
