Back To 1757
Back with Wyatt and Melinda.
Soon, a bright white light covered them.
When they blinked they were standing in a forest, during the day.
"Melinda, where are we?" asked Wyatt.
"Back in 1757." said Melinda. "Cool."
"Why?" asked Wyatt.
"Well, this is where Antoinette lives. Somewhere." said Melinda.
"Are you aware, our powers might not work here?" said Wyatt, anger in his voice.
"Duh," said Melinda, "I did think ahead. I cast a simple spell before I began the potion. It will keep our powers intact while we're in the past."
"OK, so, where is Antoinette?" asked Wyatt.
"I think the best thing to do is split up." said Melinda. "You can orb, so it'll be faster. Also, I think we need a change of wardrobe."
Wyatt snapped his fingers and they were now wearing 18th century clothing.
"See you in a bit." said Melinda, running off into the forest.
"Be careful!" shouted Wyatt, orbing out.
Melinda dashed through the forest. Suddenly, she heard something sound like an energy ball fly through the air. Then she heard it collide with something solid, and then a shout. She ran in that direction. It took her only seconds to come across a young girl, wearing 18th century clothes. A demon was standing in front of her.
"Take me too her!" he shouted.
"No, I won't!" said the young girl.
"Suffer, the consequences!" it shouted. The demon hurled an energy ball at the young girl.
"No," yelled Melinda. She did, Piper's familiar hand gesture, and froze the energy ball.
The demon turned to face her.
"A witch!" it said.
Melinda did the hand gesture again and the demon exploded. She walked over to the young girl. She helped her to her feet.
"Are you alright?" asked Melinda.
"I'm fine, thank-you." said the young girl.
"What's your name?" asked Melinda.
"I'm Emily Dales of Cumberland, Massachusetts, ma'am." she said. "I'm so glad you showed up, when that demon attacked. I thought I was a goner for sure. Madame Warren, continuously told me not to wonder on my own, and I did it anyway. Oh, frittle."
"Madame Warren?" repeated Melinda.
"Yes, ma'am." said Emily. "She's a very wise witch, I'll tell ya. Helped me a lot after my parents were killed."
"Here name, by any chance, wouldn't be Antoinette, would it?" asked Melinda eagerly.
"Why, yes." said Emily.
"Could you take me too here?" asked Melinda.
"Sure," said Emily, "its just around the ben."
They walked for a few moments before they reached a beautiful home in the center of the forest. Emily walked up to the front door and pushed it open. They stepped inside. The house was as beautiful as the outside. Antoinette must had been very rich, indeed. A young woman, no older than twenty came running into the room. She wore a noblewoman's dress, and had long curly brown hair.
"Oh, Emily!" she cried. "I thought something terrible happened."
"It did, Madame, but this kind witch saved me." said Emily, gesturing to Melinda.
Antoinette looked at Melinda.
"There is something quite familiar about you." said Antoinette.
"I'm one of your descendants." said Melinda.
Antoinette laughed.
"You must have me mistaken with my sister Helen. She has two children all ready. Oh, how I long to see my nieces." said Antoinette. "But great magic must have brought you back to this time. To me. Why?"
"Hold on, let me call my brother." said Melinda. "WYATT! GET DOWN HERE, I FOUND ANTOINETTE!"
Wyatt orbed in.
"Hello," he said kindly.
"Another descendant?" said Antoinette. "And a boy, too?"
"Ah, yeah," said Melinda. "Anyway. We traveled back in time to ask you about the Gift."
"No, no, no, and no. I don't care what you say, I shall never release it." said Antoinette.
"Well, can you tell us what it is?" asked Wyatt.
"The Gift, is a great potent power appearing once every three generations. I was unlucky to possess this great power. Quintessence." said Antoinette.
"Quintessence?" said Melinda.
"Absolute power." said Wyatt. "I see why you'd want to lock it away. Anyone who possessed the power of Quintessence could do whatever they wanted. Sometimes it could even corrupt a good witch."
"The Cult of Blackthorne wanted your power." said Melinda.
"Yes, and I vanquished them all." said Antoinette. "But I can't keep the Gift. It is too much."
"Where did you place it?" asked Wyatt.
"In a secret location that only another Warren could enter." said Antoinette. "Would you like to join me in summoning it?"
"Sure," said Melinda. She stepped forward. They took hands. Antoinette said the spell first. Then they repeated it together and said:
I call to the ancient power, return the gift in this hour
Secret untold, treasure unfold
I summon thee.
Swirling lights appeared and a metal box appeared. It settled itself in Antoinette's hands.
"Inside," she said, "is the Gift of Quintessence. I could only contain it. But maybe, with the help of two other Warrens, I could banish it for good. So no one would ever get this terrible power."
"The Power of Three." said Melinda and Wyatt together.
"You know of the power of three? The Charmed Ones?" said Antoinette.
"Yeah, one of them is our mom." said Melinda.
Antoinette gasped.
"I never thought to this day that I would ever hear or see the Charmed Ones. So, they have come into existence. Oh happy day for the Warren Coven." said Antoinette. "I'm pretty sure, you two know a spell."
"I have the perfect one." said Wyatt.
They all held out their hand over the box, which floated in midair. Wyatt spoke the spell first and then they repeated it together:
We call now the power of three, to banish this Gift for all eternity!
We call now the power of three, to banish this Gift for all eternity!
We call now the power of three, to banish this Gift for all eternity!
The box glowed and then vanished.
"Amazing!" said Emily.
"Thank-you." said Antoinette, bowing to them. "For all your help."
"No problem." said Wyatt. "Melinda, I think we should be leaving."
"Oh, right." said Melinda. "I wish we could stay, but…."
"I know." said Antoinette. "Good luck." She nodded, and stepped back.
Wyatt and Melinda took hands. They recited a familiar spell:
A time for everything and to everything its place,
Return what has been moved
Through time and space
They vanished in a flash of light.
"They are truly powerful, Madame." said Emily.
"Yes, they are Emily." said Antoinette. She walked into her beautiful living room. On the table was no other then the Book of Shadows. It was open. She gestured with her hand, and closed the book using her telekinesis. "I need you to run and errand for me, Emily." She gestured at the book and it flew into her hands.
"What?" asked Emily.
"Take this to my sister. I think, she'll need it more, with two young witches on her hands." said Antoinette.
Emily took the book and placed it in a sack.
"I'll be back soon." said Emily.
"Take your time." said Antoinette.
Emily left the house. Unknown to her, Antoinette had taken a poison potion only seconds before Emily's and Melinda's arrival. The potion began to take effect. The room began spinning and she fell to the ground, dead.

Melinda and Wyatt appeared back in the attic. Suddenly, Chris orbed in.
"What are you wearing?" they all said together.
