Ok…I need to get my mom and the aunt's asses in gear. I pulled away from Dad instantly and headed for Mom. "Mom…we really…really need to get rid of the Titans,"
"Yeah…I know sweetie," Mom told me. "But I really want to spend time with you and Wyatt…"
"Mom…" I said in an agitated voice, "we will…but we need to vanquish the Titans first!" I snapped. "We need to get Aunt Phoebe in the mood to fight them, or we will not be able to save…"
"Save who?" Mom asked now interested.
"Ummm…. an innocent…" I said getting an idea. "Yeah…I kinda left him behind so I can save you guys from the Titans…so lets hurry this up," I said, pushing her towards Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige.
"Well…ok," Piper sighed as we walked towards the living room. Aunt Phoebe was gushing over her cell phone, and I rolled my eyes. Ok…I missed having my aunt around, but not the one that gushes over some guy swooning her with text messages.
"Aunt Phoebe…what are you doing?" I asked her through clenched teeth.
"Reading Text Messages that me and Jason had be sending over the past couple weeks," Aunt Phoebe said, smile on her face. Oh my god…someone shoot me. Ok I need to piss Aunt Phoebe off…oh perfect idea. I flicked my wrists at her cell phone, and instantly it exploded. "Mel, why did you do that?" she wailed, a pout on her face.
"So you can focus on the Titans, duh," I snapped. "And the only way we can do that is to piss you off, so hurry up or I'll…" I looked around and saw a vase of flowers that Jason probably sent her. "I'll blow up those flowers Jason sent you,"
"Go Mel," Aunt Paige snickered.
"You wouldn't…" Aunt Phoebe said in a shocked voice.
"I would…or worse I will make Aunt Paige attack your room with her little Triton!" I threatened. Aunt Phoebe squealed in fear.
"Ok ok, lets hurry up and vanquish them," Aunt Phoebe whined. Yay…I so rule. Now…just to get the Titans here. Chris said that the Titans sensed when someone orbed. We need to use Dad as bait. "Ok Mom, we need to get the Titans here before they take anymore Whitelighters,"
"You better not be implying that we use your father as bait!" Mom snapped at me. Wow thanks for the wonderful idea.
"What a great idea mom…" I said. "Dad!" I called out.
"No…Mel, we are not using your father as bait to vanquish the Titans," Mom stated grabbing a hold of my shoulder to stop me from getting dad. Dad walked in with Wyatt in his arms.
"What are you guys bickering about, I just got Wyatt to sleep," Dad whispered.
"Our daughter has the insane motion to use you as bait to summon the god damn Titans!" Mom snapped.
"It is a good idea Piper…" Dad said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"No…no, we are not agreeing to do this Leo," Mom smacking his shoulder lightly.
"Yes…we are Piper,"
"Ok…I know you two have issues, but you need to get over it for five freaking minutes! I will go put Wyatt down for his nap," I sighed, taking Wyatt out of Dad's arms. Geez, they can't do anything without bickering about it first…it amazes me that they managed to do anything. "Wyatt…our parents really need to work out their issues," Wyatt just giggled and I put him down for his nap in Mom and Dad's room.
I walked back downstairs hearing the ruckus of the Titans storming in. I ducked as a lightening bolt came hurdling towards me. I saw one of the Titans go after Dad and I saw Mom's face darken. "STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!" Mom shouted, and instantly I was knocked off my feet. Mom summoned an earthquake, and I turned towards the Titans. The floor started crumble and suddenly hellfire came out and swallowed them whole. Thank god that is over. Now I need to save Chris…
I walked to Dad, "Ok…Dad the sooner we get them back to normal, the sooner I can go and save the innocent I left behind," Before dad could answer, orbs swirled into the room. "Ok…seems like he is going to un goddess-ify them, so have Mom and the aunts meet me upstairs, ok?"
"Mel…what's going on with you?" Dad asked. Oh…I definitely been hanging out with Chris too much if Dad already notices there is something wrong with my feelings towards him right now…about letting mom go, ignoring Chris's cries for help.
"Look…I left someone behind, and I am worried about him, so…if you will excuse me…"
"It's not that Mel…why are you acting like you hate me?" Dad asked putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Look…I will tell you later…" I snapped, trying to get Dad to let go of my shoulder. "Now, will you please let go of my shoulder?" I sighed still trying to shrug him off.
"Mel…" Dad started, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I do not have time for this, Chris has been in the future too long, and who knows what Wyatt has done with him. I flicked my free hand in his general direction and he froze. I shrugged off his hand and headed up to the attic.
I grabbed a piece of chalk, and started to draw a triquetra on the wall. "Mel…why was your father frozen downstairs?" Mom's voice came from behind me, and I turned around.
"He was frozen?" I asked, a bit of fake surprise thrown into my voice.
"Melinda Halliwell," Mom said, a bit of venom hitting her voice. "You do not freeze your father."
"You do it…" I muttered under my breath, completing the triquetra.
"That is beside the point," Mom said turning me around again. "Now what possessed you to freeze your dad?" God can't I catch a break today?
"I wanted to go to the attic, but he wanted to talk…but we really need to go back and save that innocent…" I sighed, still not getting into details who this unnamed innocent was.
"Ok, enough dancing around the truth young lady. Who is this innocent that you were willing to freeze your dad for?" Oh…mom if only you knew that this innocent is your second son. Oh boy is she going to be happy about being pregnant two more times.
"Heh…" oh god…I did not want to go to Chris's last ditch effort, "Sorry Mom…future consequences," God I can't believe I just did that…I so need to wash my mouth out with some mouthwash. "Look, we need to go…"
"Fine…but you, me and your dad are going to have to talk about this…" Mom said her tone darkening a little bit. That is what you think Mom… "Paige, Phoebe!" My aunts were instantly up the stairs.
"Please tell me there isn't another demon…" Phoebe wined.
"Um…dunno, but we need to go and save my innocent now ok?" I asked. I pulled out a piece of paper with the return to the past spell on it and sighed. Ok…just have to re-word the spell and get us back to my time. "Hear these words, hear the rhyme. Heed the hope within my mind. Return me so that I may find, what I wish in place and time," I chanted quickly, and instantly the triquetra I drew on the wall started to glow blue. "Ok…lets go," I said heading for the portal. We walked in and the first thing I saw was Chris on the ground. "Oh my god Chris," I ran down to him. "Chris come on wake up," I pleaded.
Mom, Aunt Phoebe, and Aunt Paige walked down towards me…and I knew something was wrong. Wyatt wouldn't leave Chris out in the open like this. "You are so predictable Mel," Bianca said stepping out of the darkness shrouding the attic.
"Bianca…" I said in confusion. I thought that Chris dumped her ass for cheating on him. That is when I noticed the Phoenix tattoo on her arm. Chris started to stir and I looked down at him. "Chris…come on, I am getting you out of here," I whispered.
"Mel?" he asked hoarsely.
"Yeah…it's me," I whispered.
"Ok…as much as I hate ruining family moments…I am afraid you are staying here," Bianca said.
"The hell I am," I snapped.
"Mel…get out of here," Chris ordered me. "Forget about me,"
"No, I am not leaving you behind again," I snapped. Bianca walked towards us, and I could tell she had a knife on her.
I looked towards mom and the aunts and saw demons starting to swirl around us. Damn it, I am such a tard. I lead us into a trap. Mom instantly started to blow up demons and instantly my aunts went into battle. Still trying to lift Chris up, I saw Bianca coming towards me. Chris pushed me out of the way, towards the exit and the rest of our family. "Chris…sweetie, you shouldn't be pushing your sister away,"
"Don't call me sweetie," he snapped weakly at Bianca. She kept walking towards him, and I knew that Chris couldn't fight her back. I sent an Astral me at her and she walked back in shock. While astral me was distracting her, I went back towards Chris. Whoa, ok, that bitch is going down. All the marks on my brother's body, and I became one once again and landed a kick to her gut.
"Stay away from my brother," I growled, balling up my fists. She instantly started to attack back, and me being fueled by anger, perfectly dodged every hit she threw at me. I landed a punch on her nose, and she instantly put a hand up to it.
"You little bitch, you broke my nose,"
"No shit Sherlock, that was the plan," I snapped, still in a fighter's stance.
Chris's POVAs I idly sat by watching my sister and my ex girlfriend fighting, I kept trying to stand up straight so I could pull her away from Bianca. Mel knew the Phoenix's fighting style, but Bianca was a heartless bitch. As they continued fight, I saw Bianca backhand Mel. I need saw a sharp piece of floorboard laying on the ground, and instantly picked it up. I warned you Bianca, I told you not to come near my family or me again. I unsteadily stood up on my feet and limped towards them.
Mel dodged another kick, but was knocked down again. That is it. I am not letting my sister get hurt. Mel's foot went up and connected with Bianca's chin, and while she was off balance I shoved the floorboard into her stomach, and she let out a gasp of pain. "Chris…"
"I told you to never come near me or my family again," I shot back. A part of me will always…feel something for you Bianca, but you are dead to me. You are not going to be able to hurt my family again. Mel got up and grabbed one of my arms and started to support me. Bianca let out a scream and died in a fiery explosion. Good riddance.
"Come on…we need to get you out of here…" Mel whispered starting to lead me towards the wall with the triquetra on it.
"Mel…you should have stayed in the past…" I told her as we got closer to the wall.
"Nice way of saying thank you for saving your ass," Mel muttered. I gave her a weak smile, but it went away as soon as I saw Mom and our aunts were in the future with us.
"You brought them with you?" I whispered angrily.
"Hey…I couldn't do it alone…"
"Wyatt could come over here and kill Mom again," I reminded her.
"Yes I could," Wyatt said, as dark orbs, and I turned around, getting out of Mel's grip.
Melinda's POVI glared at my oldest brother, well after grabbing Chris's shoulder so he wouldn't crash. I need to get him to Dad so he could heal him. I turned to Mom, and I saw her getting prepared to freeze or blow up Wyatt. I couldn't let her do that, not after witnessing Wyatt killing Mom once. "Mom, no don't do anything to him!" I shouted,
"Mel…"
"Will you just listen to me?" I snapped, still pulling Chris towards them.
"Mel…just come quietly and no one will have to get hurt," Wyatt said, even though I could clearly tell he was lying. Ignoring Wyatt, I murmured the spell to go back in time, and continued to pull Chris towards it. Instantly the portal opened up.
"Guys get out of here!" I shouted, and I pushed Chris towards the portal. Aunt Phoebe grabbed a hold of Chris and went through the portal, with him trying to fight her grip. "Mom, Aunt Paige, get out of here!" I shouted again, and I turned back to Wyatt. I gave them the look that clearly said I know what I am doing, and they entered the portal. Wyatt gave me a smile, and was glad to see I was "staying" in this time. Psh…like I would.
"Glad to see you are finally-," I cut him off, instantly landing a right hook across his jaw. He gave me a look of shock, and I sprinted towards the portal.
I launched myself into the portal and it closed as I entered the past once again.
