It was after the night at the club, everyone loved the song. Well, Charles didn't because I wrote the song because of him, but whatever. Then of course after the act that we did we went out to the beach to have a fire and sat up for hours until the sun came up, my mother and father said that I would because Penny, Pearl and Prue were with me, my three cousins my age. Our mothers all got pregnant at the same time. Penny and Pearl were Paige's twins and Prue was Aunt Phoebe's first daughter. Our mothers only let us go because we all would be together and of course Penny and Pearl could orb and Prue could use her own heart ring that she earned a few months ago and could "heart" where she needed to go if it was the only was to get there.

Me. Nothing. Dad wasn't a white-lighter when mom and him conceived me so I am half witch and half mortal… well more one forth witch and three forth's mortal because mom was already half witch, half mortal, but whatever. Anyways, I always need help when we are fighting demons and other evil creatures because I can't escape as easily.

Anyways, now after the party at the beach and a few hours of sleep it was noon and mom and dad had me doing chores while Prue was over practicing a song that she had written and wanted to perform with my band. None had a problem because she had done it before and she was really good, but she got nervous in front of the crowds but the songs were really good.

"So what do you think?"

"She has a little creepy cat and a little creepy bat

Little rocking chair and an old blue hat

That little creepy girl

Oh

She loves to sing

She has a little gift

An amazing thing

With her little funny eyes of hazel

With her little funny old blue hat she will go and set the world on fire

No one ever thought she could do that."

"Good, can't wait for the guys to hear it tonight at practice, they will love it. Plus you are the creepy little girl as it all works. So, how is Derek from Magic School? Has he asked you out yet? No wait he did, have you kissed yet, did you tell him that you are part cupid and have premonitions and know that you are going to be together forever… well unless that some how changes… it could."

"It could, but yes, I told him what I am and what I saw and he took a few days to deal but he asked if he screwed it up, and if he had anything to worry about and what I saw. I told him that no he didn't screw anything up now or any time in the future and there was nothing to worry about and that what I saw was us happy together now and for a while and anything can change."

"Okay, and I think that I am done here with the cleaning of the always burning fire ball living room. Mom had to have the clock fixed again because I may have thrown a demon into it last night. It keeps dad busy during the day when mom has to be at work and stuff. So let us go get ready and head to Toby's house for practice."

In the band we have

Toby - the lead guitarist and male back up vocals

Jason - back up guitarist

Wyatt used to play the guitar until he got a job and got married to Madison

Prue is back up female vocals and lead vocals when she writes a song and plays the piano and violin

Abby who plays the bass and does back up female vocals most of the time if Prue doesn't want to play

And then me, I can play the guitar to a certain extent and I am the lead vocal.

Everyone partakes in writing songs. I have on only written about 4 of our 20 songs. But I am working on more now that school is coming to summer vacation and I don't go to magic school that often any more because I like to learn at home with my mom and dad and aunts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Practice~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Guys, that won't work, it needs something more."

"Be our guest and change it Mel, but we have been trying for hours but the stupid button on the blender is jammed and we can't make any smoothies. Live with it and sing."

"I WILL fix it Toby and I am singing back ups tonight, Prue is going to be here soon and she is going to be singing the song."

"Sweet!" Jason said as he plopped down on the couch next to Abby and grabbed her hand. They made a cute couple.

My phone rang just as Prue came walking through the door.

"Hello," I said as I grabbed pliers and attacked the jammed button. "Hey Wyatt, what is up? … No come on I am at band practice call Chris… Penny… Pearl… fine but you had better make this fast… because I promised Prue… yeah she is singing… ugh I hate you… fine five minutes… YOU'RE HERE!! Oh you are going to get your ass kicked by me and mom."

I hung up and looked to the band, "sorry guys but Wyatt needs help and Chris and our cousins are busy so I get called in. Will you be okay by yourself tonight Prue?"

"I guess, I mean I have done this before, and I was going to tell you that Wyatt was going to call you, but he is fast."

"He hopes," I said as I walked out of the house and out to the car that Wyatt was in kicked the door before getting in.

"This had better hope that this demon kills you so that I don't. I wanted to be there when Prue showed the guys the new song that she has been working on."

"Mel, I am so sorry it is just that Chris is busy with Bianca at the hospital because she isn't feeling good and Penny and Pearl can't go because the demons attacked them this afternoon and almost killed them and Prue isn't read for this fight. We are going after the demons that wanted to mess with our cousins and I need you there to stop me from killing every single one so that we can interrogate some to figure out what is going on."

"Oh My God our they okay?"

"Besides a few cuts and bruises that they got in the underworld."

I sat still besides him as we drove home. My mind was racing the whole time. A demon attacked Penny and Pearl. Why would a demon do that? They would know that we would attack back… "Wyatt it is a trap. Demons know that we would strike back after an attack on the family. We can't go until we find out whom they are. But you already know all of this. What are you planning?"

"It is a female demon named Morana, means death I think in Slavic Mythology. There is nothing about her kind or about her in the book," Wyatt said as he gripped the stirring wheel harder and turned a corner. "She had strange unknown demons with her and she nearly killed our cousins with the flick of her finger. Madison is going to be going and sitting with Bianca and Chris is going to be meeting us at the house. We, Chris, you and I, are the strongest power of three right now, we have to go after her minions, we need to find out who she is and what she wants."

We pulled up to the house a few minutes later and parked. We ran inside and were stopped by mom and dad. They both looked nervous. Wyatt stared at mom and dad before grabbing my arm and pulling me past them up to the attic. Once in the attic Wyatt let go and walked over to the potions table that Chris was at bottling up potions.

Mom and dad walked in and mom went to the table to help while dad stood by me and squeezed my hand. Looking at Chris and Wyatt scared me, the last time that I saw them like this was when I was 14 and I was home along when I was attacked. I was able to get away and hide before I could call anyone. The demons got away at first but Wyatt and Chris went on a rampage of the underworld with my mom and aunts to try and find the demons, Wyatt and Chris found them first. The underworld didn't come after us for a few months after that. The boys scared them.

"Time to go Mel," Wyatt said as Chris and him stood in front of the bookstand holding potions.

I went and stood between them and had them hold onto my elbows as we orbed away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Underworld~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived in an empty area. No lights, no demons and the only noise were our heartbeats and breaths.

"Wyatt, Chris, is this the right spot? It is so dark and quiet."

"Shh…" Wyatt said as he let go and created an orb ball that lit up the chamber that we were standing in.

It was empty. Nothing. No chairs, no chains, no tables, no demons.

"I thought that you sensed them here Wyatt? Chris didn't he?"

"Oh, my dear, I am afraid that he did sense me here."

We all looked around but we didn't see anyone.

"Oh, I am sorry, I thought that I had taken that spell off of me." She appeared, the demon.

She was beautiful, creepily beautiful. I couldn't look away. She had long blonde hair that went to the top of her hips, a skinny curved body wearing a black corset and black leather pants that hung on her hips and a little creepy old blue hat on her head. She was so familiar to me.

I looked at my two brothers and saw them frozen, not blinking, not moving, not breathing.

"What did you do to them? How did you freeze them?"

"Honey, can I call you that?"

"No…"

"Well, Sweets then? Good, anyways, I needed to talk to you but you and your cousins; you smell the same to them. They are so stupid," She said as she walked to Melinda and walked around her sizing her up. "I didn't mean for them to get attacked but the minions, their hunters, like the hunt, like the spill of blood, and the smell of fear. But anyways, you my sweet, are the power that I want.

'Do you know what it's all about,

Are you brave enough to figure out,

Know that you could set your world on fire,

If you are strong enough to leave your doubts.'

Now, I have to get going, my cat and bat are going to throw a fit and probably destroy my rocking chair soon if I don't let them out to play and fly." She laid her hands on my shoulders and gave me a kiss before I could try and get away from her.

I couldn't move the whole time. She just turned and walked up so that she was literally walking on the air. Then she was gone and while Chris and Wyatt threw their potions coming out of their frozen states, I dropped mine and heard in crash on the floor before the words, "Talk to you later sweets," moved over the air and I fainted from her poisoned lips feeling like I was walking on air too.
