when I awoke I was curled up in a chair, I looked around confused, I was still in the hospital, but no one was around, I sat up and looked for anyone I knew, I got up and walked into mums room, and there I saw mum sitting in bed with dad, Phoebe and Paige all sleeping in chairs around her. "mum" I said quietly and I ran over to her, I was about to give her a hug when I saw what she was holding, a baby, me as a baby, I stared at me in amazement "Melinda" mum said I looked at her "Meet you as a baby" I smiled and stroked the top of little me's head, then it hit me, if little me has been born, we can't both be in the same time, I looked down at my body I could already see I was starting to fade "mum! ive got a problem!" she looked at me and straight away knew what was happening "oh my god! Leo, Leo wake up" Leo stirred waking up, he lifted his head and looked at Piper "Whats wrong? are you ok?" suddenly he was up and at Piper's side "im fine but older Mel isnt" Piper nodded towards me and Leo looked at me and grabbed hold of mine and Pipers arm who was clutching little me tightly and orbed out.
"Dad! you can't just orb mum and both me's put of the hospital, what about Phoebe and Paige, their going to be worried when they wake up and find out we're not there" Dad lowered mum into the chair in the attic and went to the book of shadows "we have got to get you back to the future...soon" I looked shocked, I didn't want to go back but I knew it was for the best, but what if it wasn't the same? what if I have changed the future? "can I at least say goodbye to everyone first?" I asked with a little anger in my voice and tears forming in my eyes, a bright light appeared in the room followed by Paige and Phoebe "think you could go without us?" Paige said I ran upto Paige and hugged her then I hugged Phoebe "you be good in the future! you hear me?" Phoebe said kissing the top of my head "always" I said with a little smile as I remembered all the times I was bad in the future. "see ya kido" Paige said smiling at me I ran over to my mum "I will always love you mum and ill miss you" she smiled at me "what do you mean, you'll miss me? i'm there in the future" I smlied at her and hugged her tightly, she kissed my head, I looked at little me and whispered in my ear "don't be bad all the time yeah? and don't take mum for granted, she wont always be there" I stood up and went over to dad "I love you dad! never leave me ok?" he hugged me and picked me up I closed my eyes and listened to my mum and aunties saying the spell to send me back, I held on tighter I didn't want to let go, hearing their voices knowing they were about to cry made me cry.
I opened my eyes to find a bright light, I blinked continuously, adjusting my eyes to the light, I looked around this defiantly wasn't the halliwell attic, but it wasn't the future either, I turned around and saw an elder "Who are you? and what am I doing here? as for that where is here?" I asked the elder "Pruedence" I put up my hand to stop him "call me Melinda" he started again "Melinda, because you went into the future your body was left behind, which the demon..." I didn't need him to carry on I knew what he was going to say, I dropped to my knees, wishing this didn't happen, I didn't even want to come into the future, it was an accident and now I have to suffer, I will never grow older, have a family, get married "im sorry Melinda but you need to move on" he said to me putting a hand on my shoulder, I buried my head into my hands and cried as he orbed taking me with him, as I orbed I heard the peaceful words of my family saying goodbye...forever.
