For the purpose of my plot Piper didn't die when Chris was 14 but when Melinda was 14. Also I said in the last chapter that Pipers kids shared a telepathic bond but I've changed it so Melinda has the power of telepathy.
I can't promise regular updates.
I don't own Charmed.
This takes place sometime in season 6 after the sisters find out that Wyatt is evil but they don't know about Chris.
Summary: Something happens when Melinda was put in charge of the Resistance. She follows Chris to the past, needing the help and comfort of her brother, and accidentally spills some secrets.
The story is pretty AU for obvious reasons but the main plot is still the same…. I think.
Chapter Two
The Charmed Ones stood in the attic, staring at the spot where Chris and Melinda stood a second earlier. Phoebe had trouble standing upright from the strong emotions coming off the girl, Paige was trying to figure out how someone could kill someone as powerful as Wyatt, and Piper was having trouble forming any thoughts at all. How could her daughter kill Wyatt? No matter how evil he was.
"Sweetie," Phoebe began.
"Don't. I just need to find my son and make sure he's safe," Piper cut her off and disappeared from the attic. Paige looked over to Phoebe; the same worried look crossed their faces.
"Sense for Chris," Phoebe said, "We have to find out exactly what happened." Paige nodded and closed her eyes; it only took a minute to sense that Chis was at a park.
"Phoebe I got him," Paige said and grabbed her sister's hand, orbing close to where she sensed Chris. The two sisters crouched behind a bush where they watched Chris console Melinda.
"There's nothing to save. He's dead; plain and simple," Melinda pointed out, "And how do you know that we can save him? How do you know that Mom won't hate me? How do you know that everything will work out?" Paige looked at Phoebe and mouthed 'Mom?' Phoebe shrugged her shoulders.
"Trust me. Everything will be fine."
"But how do yo-."
"It'll be okay." They watched as Chris sat down and pulled Melinda into his lap and she scowled.
"I'm not five anymore," She complained. Chris smirked before answering.
"Aw come on Mellie. You know you love me."
"You know I hate being called that and you're just trying to distract me," She said. Chris sighed looked down at her.
"I'm your older brother. I'm entitled to distract you before we have to return to reality," Chris explained and the sisters gasped. Chris and Melinda were on their feet in a second.
"Who's there?" Chris asked Melinda.
"It's Phoebe and Paige."
"Great," Chris mumbled. Phoebe and Paige walked out from behind the bush, clearly shocked.
"Your Wyatt's brother?" Phoebe was the first to form words.
"Yes but you're not even supposed to know so you can't tell Piper," Chris demanded. Melinda stayed behind Chris, not ready to face her aunts yet.
"How can you expect us to keep this a secret from Piper?" Phoebe asked.
"Chris is right Phoebe. Piper wouldn't be able to handle it right now," Paige explained.
"I don't care what your reasons are. You can't tell- wait you agree with me?" Paige smiled kindly at him.
"It'll happen occasionally," She quipped. Melinda looked at Chris and opened a telepathic link.
'Meet me at the Golden Gate Bridge; I don't think they've noticed me yet.'
Chris watched as she disappeared from sight and sensed when she orbed away.
"Where'd she go?" Phoebe asked. Chris sighed; leave it up to Melinda to make him deal with everything.
"She left. She thinks that you all hate her," Chris explained.
"Why would she think that? She's our niece," Paige asked.
"She killed Wyatt so she's afraid. It's completely understandable," Phoebe answered.
"Well I don't hate her. From what you've told us about Wyatt I can't blame her. He sounds like a real jackass."
"I don't either but Piper might not be to forgiving," Phoebe added.
"I know and that's what she's most afraid of. Let's just say that Piper and Melinda didn't always see eye to eye in our time," Chris said, "Look I got to go get her. We'll meet you guys at the house, try and calm Piper down." Chris disappeared in a flurry of orbs and the sisters sighed.
"Sometimes I really hate that power," Phoebe complained before Paige orbed them back home.
Melinda stood at the edge of the bridge, the tips of her shoes hanging off the edge.
"They don't hate you," Chris stated. Melinda kept her eyes closed but opened up the mink link.
'I know. I can hear everything.'
Chris chuckled remembering how Melinda was always the person to go to when they wanted to know something when they were kids. She had a knack for listening in on other peoples conversations when she was board or nervous. He replied back the same way.
'Let's go back to the manor, you have to face her.'
"You take the fun out of everything," Melinda grumbled before grabbing her brother's hand. A second later the future Halliwell's appeared in the attic only to be met with the sisters. Piper stared at her daughter, anger clear on her face. Melinda kept hold on her brother knowing that without him she would break down.
"I want you out of here," Piper demanded, looking at Melinda.
"What?" Paige and Phoebe asked.
"You can't just-," Chris tried to defend.
"I don't want to hear another word from you. The only reason I'm keeping you here is so you can save my son." Chris opened up his mouth but Melinda cut him off.
"Don't Chris. She's exactly the same. It doesn't matter what Wyatt does, she'll always forgive him. You'd think that knowing her son murdered thousands of people and witches she wouldn't care if he was killed himself."
"I am your mother and you will not talk about me like that," Piper scolded.
"Really? Because didn't you just kick me out of the house?"
"You killed my son!" Piper kinda yelled.
"He tried to kill me! Along with everyone in our family that he didn't already kill!" Melinda yelled.
"He wouldn't kill his family," Piper defended.
"Melinda stop," Chris warned, knowing where she was going with this.
"NO CHRIS! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. PRUE, PATIENCE, JOUNIOR, KAT, TAMMIE! THEY'RE ALL DEAD BECAUSE OF HIM! NOT TO MENTION-."
"MELINDA!" Chris yelled, efficiently silencing his sister. She had seen Chris mad before but it was never directed at her; it only fueled her more.
"What Chris?" She spat, no longer yelling.
"You're giving away unnecessary information and she is your mother," He stated firmly.
"You know that's not true she was more of a mother to Wyatt and-."
"Melinda!" Paige yelled.
'What's with you?'
Melinda heard Chris's voice in her head and stopped what she was doing. What was she doing?
"I-I'm sorry. Chris I shouldn't have come . It was stupid of me to think that I could help without causing problems." Melinda squeezed her eyes shut, holding back the tears, before orbing away.
I liked the ending. I want to thank everyone who reviewed. Keep 'em coming!
