Chapter Three
"What if it's not a demon?" Melinda asked. Chris looked up from the map he and Melinda had created and raised an eyebrow.
"You mean like a warlock?" He asked, "We have a column for them right here." He tapped the paper for emphasis and Melinda rolled her eyes.
"No stupid, I mean like someone we trust," Melinda explained, "A witch or a human. Maybe even an Elder I don't know but it's an idea because so far we haven't gotten anywhere."
"That's, actually a really good idea." Melinda glared at Chris before tapping into his power and making some of the papers flying into his face.
"So you're sure that you guys aren't dating?" Paige asked as she walked into the room. Chris and Melinda looked at each other before bursting into laughter. When the siblings finally calmed down Chris turned to Paige.
"What are you looking for?" He asked. Paige didn't look up from the trunk when she answered.
"The ca- oh I found them." Paige grabbed the candles before orbing out of the room; leaving Chris to fend off his sisters' next lecture.
"You shouldn't have erased their memories," Melinda said.
"I know but they would have told Piper about me and Piper would never let you back in this house again if she knew about what happened with Wyatt," Chris explained.
"It doesn't matter. We're not supposed to use our magic for personal gain," Melinda scolded with a small smile. Chris laughed and soon Melinda joined him, they both knew that her argument was crap. She was the queen of personal gain.
"I don't think I've ever seen Chris smile, let alone laugh," Piper mused from the doorway, "Should I be worried?" The siblings immediately sobered up and Melinda looked down at her book.
"No, it's nothing really," Chris brushed off, "But we think we fight have a new lead on who turned Wyatt." Piper looked at Melinda oddly turning back to Chris.
"What is it?"
"Well Melinda pointed out that if could be someone you trust," Chris explained.
"So you don't think it's a demon?" Piper asked and sat down next to Chris, examining the chart. "This is incredible."
"Thanks but uh we're not sure. It could still be a demon but just to be safe I need a list of anyone that can come into contact with Wyatt in the next three months. And I think it'll be best if you spend the last three months of your pregnancy at magic school."
"There the neurotic Chris we all know and find incredibly annoying," Piper grumbled, "And for your information I am perfectly capable of handling myself thank you very much."
"Piper I know you can take care of yourself but I don't think it's smart to put you or the baby in any unnecessary danger."
"How about you just stick to finding out what turned Wyatt," Piper snapped and walked out of the attic.
"I don't remember her being such a bitch," Melinda quipped.
"Melinda," Chris sighed.
"I know, I know. I don't need another lecture." The attic was silent as Chris wrote down anyone that's ever come into contact with Wyatt on the chart and Melinda worked on charming the laptop so she could access the Book of Shadows database that she created in the future.
"I'll be back," Chris said abruptly and started to orb away.
"Wait!" Melinda yelled and Chris reformed, "Where are you going?"
"Just to the Underworld," Chris answered, "I'm going to check out some leads."
"Be careful."
"Yeah, yeah I know." Melinda rolled her eyes, telling her brother to be careful in the Underworld was like telling her not to use magic for personal gain. Completely useless. After about another hour of relentlessly trying to find the right spell to get the laptop to do what she wanted Melinda finally gave up and went downstairs to search for something to eat. Rounding the last corner so she could get into the kitchen she stopped and took a few steps back when she heard Leo and Piper talking about her and Chris.
"Look Piper I don't trust him and now there's this girl? I don't get it. Who are they? What if they're lying and they're the ones trying to get to Wyatt?"
"And what if they aren't? I don't trust them any more than you do but right now they're the only chance I have at saving my baby."
"I want to save Wyatt too but I think that you and the sisters should cast a truth spell on them and find out just exactly what they want." Melinda knew that if Leo convinced Piper to do that she and Chris would be screwed so she decided to risk being blown up and made her presence known.
"We don't expect you to trust us but you're going to have to believe that Chris and I are trying our hardest to save your son. Casting a truth spell will only cause you pain. Right now you can stand here and tell yourself that we're full of crap and your son is and always will be a perfect little angle." Melinda internally patted herself on the back. She didn't think she would be able to stand up to Piper like that without letting it get too personal.
"I don't know if I can trust Chris. He's lied to us and put our son in danger. Obviously he doesn't care enough to be cautious and think things through before he does them," Piper said.
"And he sent me to Vahalla. If all you wanted to do was help save Wyatt why would he need to send me to Vahalla?"
"Don't you dare tell me that Chris doesn't care. He risks his life every day, barely ever sleeps or eats and it's all for your son." Melinda knew she had to stop there else it would defiantly get too personal for her taste. Before either of her parents could find a suitable response Melinda had already grabbed the first thing she saw in the fridge and orbed upstairs.
