Chapter 5:
Author's Note
Woohoo! New Chapter up! I'm basically done with finals, so I'm free to write! Yay! Okay, so this next chapter will explain a little more about the Phoenix talking to Wyatt. I realize a couple of you have probably figured out who it is, but she is plays a different role in this story. Later on, after I reveal who she is, I'll explain her role. Now sit back, read, enjoy, and REVIEW! More reviews always equal more chapters, so the more reviews I get, the more motivated I will be to keep on updating.!
Only a little while after Melinda had been snapped out of her flashback, she spaced out again. She realized that Wyatt was connecting with her again. All of a sudden, she felt a pull, and a picture soon appeared in her mind. Examining it closely, she saw Wyatt standing with another woman. Unfortunately, that was all she was able to get out of it when she heard her name being called.
"Mel….yoo-hoo? Anyone there?" Jess asked, noticing Melinda had spaced out again and called her friend back to the present
"What? Oh. Sorry." Melinda said, blushing
"Jeeze Mel, whatcha thinking so hard about?" Jess asked
"Oh…well, I just had another one of those connection thingies with Wyatt. He's plotting something evil and has discovered our plan." Melinda replied sighing
"Damn! I'm surprised he's not out to get us." Jess commented, kind of worried
"Ah, no, don't worry, he's got something else up his sleeve" Melinda said, still dazed from her daydream
"Really? Like what? Did you see?" Jess questioned
"Well, I kind of felt him really pissed off, as usual. Then, I felt some other presence. It was a woman, very strong and powerful." Melinda explained
"Was the woman good or evil? Or could you tell?" Jess asked
"Evil. Definitely evil." Melinda replied
"Could you see what she looked like?" Jess asked
"No, not really. I could see Wyatt, and I could see that he depended on this woman a lot. Not romantically speaking, obviously, but someone whom he actually respected a lot, like her opinions and ideas, even though he doesn't show it because Wyatt has no emotions, as we all know. Or at least, doesn't have any emotions now. Maybe he had them when you went out with him, but he certainly doesn't now." Melinda said "Actually, now that I think about it….I feel some connection towards the woman and you. But I can't really determine what it is yet. Or why there would be a connection between someone as good as you and someone so obviously evil as her."
"Well, you have to remember, Mellie, that James and I were raised in a more evil location, unlike you who was raised in the essence of good. We did have some certain connections to evil, which stuck with James stronger than it stuck with me, I guess. I think it affected him more because of the whole male issue. While I realize that evil can seduce any sex, male or female, when it comes to Wyatt, there is more of a pull towards men. The ruler before Wyatt had an especially strong influence over men." Jess explained
"I guess I can understand that. I still feel like there's something missing, though. Oh well, I guess we'll have to figure it out as time goes on." Melinda said
