Chapter 5: Amelie.

There stood Amelie, but she wasn't Amelie, she was different, her eyes were as black as night, she didn't waste anytime, she sent them all flying backwards with a strong energy ball. Walking towards them, she suddenly doubled over.

"Chris..help...me.." she stuttered, the real Amelie tried to break through the hold over her, but it didn't last long, she motioned with her wrists, and Wyatt was telekinetically dragged up the wall, choking, he was pinned he couldn't move.. couldn't breathe..

"Amelie!!" Melinda shouted, using her own power to send Amelie backwards, releasing the hold on Wyatt, he dropped to the floor, clutching at his throat. Chris helped him up.

"Amelie, you can snap out of this, I know you can! Fight it!" called Chris, as Amelie got back to her feet, within her mind, the battle between her and the demonic intruder continued, subduing it for a moment, she managed to cry out "potion...purse" before it reclaimed her again.

Chris grabbed her bag off the side and rifled through it, he found a small vial with an amber liquid inside it, he threw it towards her, hitting her squarely in the middle of her chest, as the shadow rose up and disappeared, the demon who was trying to control Amelie (a/n. for ease, we will say is called Damon,) appeared in the room,

"This is the last time you defy me witches!!" he screamed, a fireball forming in his hand, he threw it at Chris..

"No!!" Amelie dived in the path of the impending fireball, it hit her, Chris screamed as she was incinerated before his eyes. Melinda flicked her hands at Damon, who exploded into thousands of fragments and swirled around before reforming, laughing, he disappeared.

Chris was already on the floor next to the pile of ashes that were all that remained of Amelie. Sobbing, he turned to his brother and sister.

"There has to be something....she can't...no..no" he managed to utter.

"Chris," said Melinda, tears streaming down her face, "Chris, she's gone, sh-she's gone...im so sorry.." she kneeled down beside him, trying to pull him away, he wouldn't move. He was still in shock, how could she have been taken away? Why?

"How could you!!!" He screamed, but not at Melinda or Wyatt, but looking up, he was screaming at the elders.

"Come on, sis," said Wyatt, "We need to give him some space, lets go" he took her hand and orbed out with her, leaving Chris to sob violently over his deceased love...his only love..

Amelie woke up in a strange place, it was bright, was this heaven? The light cleared revealing a row of Elders with the hoods of their cloaks up, Amelie slowly rose to her feet.

"Amelie," said the first elder, "That was a courageous act you just performed, you saved the life of a charmed one, costing you yours in the process."

"For that," continued the second elder, as a golden light came down around Amelie, "We are making you a whitelighter," he finished, with a wise smile on his face.

"Please, you have to let me go back to him, please" she begged, the elders conferred silently between themselves, and turned back to face her.

"We will let you return, on one condition."

"Yes? what is that?" she asked, desperately, she knew Chris must be devestated, she wanted him to know that she was okay, her life was not over, it was now only just beginning.

"You will be the Charmed Ones new whitelighter."

She nodded, and with that, she was orbed back down to Earth.
