Power of One
Episode Four
Innocent
18th of September 2025
Dear Diary,
I'm torn and don't know what to do! I feel like in one week, my whole life has changed and all thanks to Nathan and John. The funny thing is, that because of them me and my brothers get along better then before. Even Chris and Wyatt, when they are alone. It is weird. But because of them Jake has seeing a nasty side of me, which he cannot somehow shake off. He looks at me, like I'm a total stranger.
Tomorrow he wants to do something with me and I was supposed to help Katrina today with my brilliant spell I made all by myself and if it works I'm going to put it in the Book of Shadows. If it doesn't work and we are somehow stuck in the past longer then I intent to, then what. Then I'll be late at my date with Jake and he is already afraid of me, I don't want to disappoint him more then he already is. Oh what shall I do? I need to spend the day with Jake. He is my real first love and I don't want a loose him, because I did things when I was under an evil spell. That is not my fault and that is not who I am. I just need to show him that…somehow?
Before Nathan left with his family to a save place, he told us the plans the young demon John has, but that doesn't scare me. But the thought of that a lot of young demons are surfaced and living a normal life just to get close to us and get out powers or worse, scares the hell out of me. Who can I trust? Should I only be friends with older people and avoid the younger crowd? What if all my friends are planning something against me…I don't know how to deal with that thought? What Nathan told me, made me also think about a very important thing and I have made up my mind about it, but I simply don't think I can actually say it out loud, but I feel like I must. As a Charmed One I have bigger responsibilities then my own desires and needs.
I have a feeling that today is going to be a long day and to be honest I would rather fight a demon or worse go to school and learn stuff then go through with today. Goddess help me get through this. My ancestors help me get through this…please anybody…I need help…!
Melinda walked downstairs and there she was. Her mother. The Matriarch of this family. She has survived so many things, but will she survive what she was about to do. Piper looked up and smiled at her daughter and Melinda returned the smile. She walked over to her mother and sat down next to her on the couch.
Piper: Hi sweetie. Done writing in your journal?
Melinda: Yes I am. Melinda couldn't look at her mother.
Piper: Melinda what's wrong?
Melinda started to cry and hugged her mother. Piper looking concerned hugged her daughter back and made sussing sounds to calm her daughter down and sent her some positive energy to ease her nerves.
Melinda looked up at her mother and Piper looked back very worried.
Piper: Melinda what is going on? You are making me nervous. Spill it!
Melinda: You and dad need to move out! There she said it, still sobbing!
Piper: What? What do you mean she said, hurt by her daughters words? Melinda cried even harder now and was almost unable to speak. 'Melinda this is my home. I lived here all my life. Why do you want us to move out? Melinda took a deep breath and tried to stop her sobbing and shaking and closed her eyes for a second to gain strength and opened her eyes and looked straight at her mother.
Melinda: You know what Nathan has told us, she started. A lot of demons of the new generation have surfaced and they are living among us, which means that they are planning to attack us.
Piper: But i can help! Together we are stronger.
Melinda gently: No mom. I must now be strong with my brothers. We are the Charmed Ones now and this is our time and fight. How do you expect me or the guys to get stronger and wiser if you are constantly around to save the day? They are already afraid of you, but now they also have to be afraid of the Charmed Ones, without the extra protection of the Matriarch. Do you understand a little bit, what I'm trying to say she said still gently?
Piper: I think so. As long as I'm here, you cannot fulfil your destiny and earn your place as the Matriarch of the family.
Melinda: exactly, she said with a relief that her mother understood her.
Piper: Well this is a shock. I never thought of leaving this house and thought that I would see all my grandchildren grow and see the Power of three pass on to your children, she said with sadness in her voice, while she looked around at the house. Melinda thought her heart would break in pieces and started to cry again, uncontrollable and hugged her mother and Piper, who couldn't keep her tears any longer, hugged her back and there they sat on the couch crying and hugging, knowing the loss they would have to go through.
John's Penthouse
The doorbell rang and John opened the door. 'Thank you for coming, please do come in.
The house was full with young people and there was music and alcohol. Everybody seem to have a great time and John was looking around at the crowd, proud of himself that he managed all this and soon if everything did go as he had planned, soon he would be the new ruler of the Underworld. He smiled at this thought and took a sip of his whisky.
He walked over to the small podium in the end of the room and signed the DJ to stop the music.
John: Hell everybody! Welcome to my humble house and party. Everybody cheered and clapped. 'I have invited all you people selectively, because I think you are all special in your own way. As you may have heard the first attack has been made at the Charmed Ones.
Unfortunately our fellow demon has turned against us and we are now unable to track him, but that doesn't spoil the fun, because look at you all. You are young, gorgeous to look at and all have unusual powers, which we can use to attack the Charmed Ones and kill them for once and all and rule both worlds! Are you with me? Everybody cheered and clapped and whistled! 'There is only one small thing. Our demon friend has warned the Charmed Ones about our surface and that we are living among humans and about our plans, so we have to be careful. They will be more on alert then they were already. But for now enjoy the party and when I need one of you, I will find you! Music started again and everybody had fun
Magic school, the room
Melinda stood in front of the door of the famous room. She was nervous, scared of the reaction of Katrina. Very excited by the idea to see the famous Ultimate Battle and of course the original Charmed Ones in action. She giggled by that thought. Then she looked at the door and het smile disappeared again. She had created a spell, which would bring them back in the past, and they would be able to witness all the scenes without being detected or sensed. She looked again at her piece of paper she had written the spell and looked at the door again. Then her brother Wyatt orbed in.
Melinda: Wyatt, just in time. I'm about to go in the room, when we come out, you need to put the crystals around us, so she can't escape and I have time enough to chant the spell, got it?
Wyatt: You can be really bossy sometimes did you know that? Just now you just looked like mom, bossing me around.
Melinda: Thanks I guess, she said smirking. Shall we? Wyatt nodded and turned serious again.
Melinda: Here go's nothing she said and opened the door.
John's Penthouse
John was sitting on the table eating a sandwich when a young guy named speedy appeared in front of him.
Speedy: I have some news from the magic school, my liege.
John: Do you know. What can you possibly tell me what I already don't know?
Speedy: Melinda is at this moment helping Katrina. She has entered the room and is powerless. She wants to go back in time to show Katrina what really happened. To do that they have to come out of the room and then Wyatt will make a crystal circle so they can't get out. Maybe if we attack on the right time, we will be able to kill them all. But we have to leave now, because I don't know how long it will take, before Melinda convinces Katrina to go with her out of the room.
John: I like the way you think. Even if we cannot kill one of the Charmed Ones, maybe we will be able to get Katrina. She would be a great asset to my army and she knows Melinda better than anyone. They grew up together. John closed his eyes and 6 demons appeared in front of him. 'You all are selected to fight against my side to kill one of the Charmed ones, he said proud getting up. They all bowed for their new leader. 'We must go now, but the magic school is protected against evil, unless good lets it in. He turned to look at Speedy.
'You will be the one who will make sure that we will get in magic school.
Magic school, the Room
Melinda: Katrina? Katrina didn't look up and kept staring at the wall. She looked pale and if she didn't care anymore .Melinda had to fight real hard not to cry right there and now. She kept her tears back and tried to focus on her mission and after taking a deep breath she went in the room.
Melinda: Katrina, it's me Melinda. Katrina looked her way, and then turned to look at the wall. Melinda walked over to her and sits down in front of her, risking the fact to be attacked. She stared at Katrina and her skin was completely white and she looked dull. She was there but not there. This girl in front of her was nothing like the Katrina, she ones knew. Tears welled up in her eyes, and it took a lot to keep them in.
Katrina: what do you want Melinda? She said with a tiredness in her voice, which was also nothing like her own voice.
Melinda: I...i miss you, she said now not able to hold her tears any longer, so she let them go.
I miss the only person who really knows me. I miss my best friend, she said sobbing and let her shoulders up en down with her hands in the air. She wiped her tears off and like always she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. I'm Melinda Halliwell. The next in the line of the Matriarch. A Charmed One. I can do this, she thought, like always, when she tried to concentrate.
Katrina: So you miss me, so what is your point? Are you finally letting me out of this damn room?
Melinda: Yes I am. Katrina straightened up a bit, but she was very weak.' I have created a spell, which allows us to go back to the past and shows us all what Christy, your mother, went through, but they cannot see us. We are there just to observe. The only thing is it keeps us showing as long the spell thinks that we have seen enough or there are no images to show, she said her voice getting softer by every word.
Katrina: Why would I want to see the past, she asked a bit more interested sounding, then before?
Melinda: Sweetie, listen to me ok? You have been maybe lied to all your life, who knows? We only know your mom, from the history books and my parents, but nobody knows how she was when she was young and captured. What they have may done to her, to make her like she was? Who knows? Nobody knows what she went through when she had to give you up? There is so much to see. Then we both know the truth and then we can maybe work together to get over it and be as we were, like sisters, she said with a smile on her face.
Katrina: I would like that. Melinda! I'm sorry for what I have done to you and your family.
Melinda: The only person who you have to say sorry to is also the hardest one. My mother. But that is a problem for later. First there another issue. We cannot use magic here, so we have to go out of the room. Wyatt is waiting on the other side of the room and when you come out, he is going to put the crystals around us, so we both cannot get out, but it will give us our powers back. Katrina looked angry at this thought. 'Sweetie you have to understand, that not my whole family can forgive you right away. It will take time and this is the first step. You must understand the reason behind it. Can you? Katrina looked for a minute or so to the ground and then looked up and said, 'let's do this then.
They got up and while Melinda was holding her for support they walked out of the room, where they immediately were surrounded by crystals.
Wyatt: Are you ok, he asked his sister?
Melinda: Yes. Thanks for doing this, she said smiling at him. She turned to look at Katrina again. Ok, like I said we can only watch, but do nothing. I have made the spell in a way that, on count one the spell will begin. On count two the spell will make us see. On count three the spell will bring us back to this same place, where Wyatt is waiting, got it? Katrina and Wyatt nodded. Katrina and Melinda both holded the paper in their hands and started to chant:
"To see the truth
To know the way
We cast a spell in every way
Buy the power of two
We Conjure thee to give thy truth
Unto us to see.
Take us back from whence we came
To time and place that are the same
Let past be present that time regain
Send us back to where we will
Find Christy again. "
Melinda and Katrina looking at eachother saying in harmony: One.
We see time lapse backwards and see a lot of images from the past, passing by fast around the girls and then they are in the bedroom of Christy and Billie when they we little girls.
Melinda and Katrina again looking at eachother, saying in harmony: Two.
It is night and they are sleeping. It is dark and cold outside. Suddenly the window opens and someone or something is in the room. When Billie looks up, she sees just in time that the person has taken her sister.
Images changes and we see Melinda and Katrina now in a dark room, locked and the room is full with signs.
A demon walks in with some food. 'Christy? Where are you hiding this time? Come out and eat. You need your strength for when your training will begin.' We see a little Christy coming from behind one the rocks and looking scared and dirty and her clothes ripped on some places. Her hair was messy. 'I don't want any training. I want to go home. Please. I miss my mommy and daddy and my sister. Demon walks over to her and she backs away.
Suddenly he shoots an energyball at her and without thinking she holds her hands up and sent the energyball back to the demon, who ducks to not get hit. 'You see, he says. 'You are special and when your training is done, you'll be powerful and everyone will fear you. Christy looks at her hands and then at the demon again and out of nowhere she conjures a fireball at shoot it at the demon in front of her. He screams and explodes in front of her. She looks at it without even blinking, but something sinister in her eyes and walks slowly to pick up the key of the door, which wasn't vanquished. She walks to the door and looks herself in from the inside and threw out the key from the small opening on the top of the door and then walks back slowly to get the plate and starts eating.
Images start to changes again, but this time a bit rapidly of Christy getting trained and learning everything about the Charmed Ones. Then time changes again and they see now an older Christy of 17/18 standing in front of the Triad.
'You have done well Christy. The one in the middle said. Your training is complete and your sister has found out about her powers too. Even better Paige is her whitelighter, so she is a lot around the Charmed Ones. It is time that the Ultimate Power awakens and you and your sister, get rid of the Charmed Ones, once and for all. Then the left one started to speak.
'Before we go to that plan, you have another mission. If for some reason you fail, then all hope is gone for the demons. Therefore we have to make sure that your powers and genes aren't wasted. You need to give birth to a child. You can use any demon you want, so that his powers will also mixed with your powers in the child.
Christy: And then what? I cannot take care of it. I have a mission to finish. What will happen with the child?
Triad: Don't worry about that yet. We will take care of the baby, but there is no time to waste you need to get pregnant, fast. If you fail, we need someone powerful as you to have a change against the Charmed Ones. He clipped with his fingers and ten demons appeared, looking confused of where they are. 'Choose one. They have all unusual powers or take them all. Whatever you wish?
Christy: I take them all she said smirking and looking slutty at the demons, who understood what was going on and started to enjoy them this little surprise and followed her all to her chambers.
Images Changes again and Melinda looks at Katrina to see that she is crying.
Christy is lying on a bed in of off the rooms and screaming and sweating like crazy. You could already see the head of a little baby.
The women who was summoned to help her, was sweating herself too.' Come on, you can do it. Push! Come on, Push! Christy screams one more time and pushes with all her strength and the baby is out.
The woman takes the baby and cleans it up and turns around to Christy, 'it is a baby girl she said smiling at Christy. She walks over to her, to hand her just born child, but Christy looks away. 'I don't want to hold it. Give it to the Traid, they will make sure it will be given to someone. The woman looks one more time to the baby and then walks away with it out of the room. We see Christy getting up to take a shower, like nothing happened.
Time lapse again and they see that Billie has found Christy and that they are staying at the Manor. They see that Christy is constantly manipulating Billie and trying to make her see the Charmed Ones as the selfish ones. Who don't care about innocents anymore and that they are now only thinking about themselves. They see Billie regularly struggling and that she believes that the Charmed Ones are not doing anything wrong.
Katrina looks at it all in shock and not knowing what to feel. Then they see that the Charmed Ones are trying to get answers about who the Ultimate Powers are, but Christy in an attempt to stop them got attacked by Piper and that make Billie turn against the Charmed Ones, even it wasn't Pipers fault. They see how they take the hollow with the help of little Wyatt and Dumain the demon who helps Christy to succeed. They both watch in horror and awe at the final battle between the witches and how the whole manor exploded, which made both the girls cry.
They see how Piper is the only survivor. That Leo is brought back by the Angel of Destiny. They see Piper finding Phoebe who is dead and then she thinks that Paige is still alive, but she finds Billie instead. We see how Piper snaps and starts hitting Billie and while Leo tries to stop her, she gets away.
The images changes and we see a confused and messy Billie at the magic school.
Billie: Dumain. Good, you're still here.
Dumain: Billie, what happened? Where's Christy?
Billie: Oh, she-she's gone.
Dumain: What about the Charmed Ones?
(Billie shakes her head.)
Billie: Piper, Piper's the only one left. I don't understand, you said the Hollow would be enough.
Dumain: They got it too. They somehow found out you were going to use it against them, so they summoned it too. It must've split, infected you all.
Billie: I just want Christy back.
Dumain: You might be able to. You've got the power, Billie. You've projected yourself back into the past before, haven't you? When Christy was young, when she was trapped in that cave?
Billie: Well, yeah, but I…
Dumain: Then why can't you do it again? Only this time you can go back to change what was, to save her. You trust me, don't you?
(Billie nods. Dumain smiles. She rests her head on him.)
Images changes again and they watch how Piper goes back to the past with the ring of Coop in a last attempt to change what was and save her sisters. Images changes again and they are back in magic school.
Dumain: All you need to do is focus on saving your sister, which means focusing on the battle. Let's try again. (Billie sits in a circle of lit candles.) Clear you mind of everything else, from all that has happened since. (Billie closes her eyes.) Let go of the pain of loss, because where you're going that hasn't happened yet. Think only of Christy. See her at your side. You want to save her more than anything else. And that's what you're going to do. That's it. You're almost there. Now go, project yourself back to the Triad.
(Billie opens her eyes.)
Billie: The Triad? (She stands.) What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to trick me?
Dumain: Wha—no! Of course not!
Billie: Then what was that? You said I was going back to see my sister.
Dumain: You're right. I should have told you.
Billie: Should've told me what? What's going on?
Dumain: What's going on is that if you don't go back to warn the Triad about the battle, they won't be able to stop it, which means they'll still be killed and so will your sister!
Billie: So, you're saying the Triad was still alive?
(Dumain rolls his eyes.)
Dumain: More or less.
Billie: And you didn't tell me? So you've been manipulating me this entire time, and Christy too?
Dumain: Christy understands exactly what is going on.
Billie: And what might that be?
Dumain: Why don't you go back and ask her yourself? Then maybe you'll understand too.
Images changes again and they see Christy talking with Dumain.
Dumain: What do you mean Billie's not coming? We need her.
Christy: We can defeat the Charmed Ones without her.
Dumain: No, we can't. We need the Triad to do that, and we need her power to go back and save them.
Christy: Well, maybe there's another way.
Images changes and we see the Charmed Ones with Grams from the past talking and then Billie walks in.
Paige: Okay, all we need to do now is find Billie and Christy.
(Billie steps in.)
Billie: You don't have to look far. Can we talk?
Billie: Look. I am so sorry for what I've done to you guys, after everything you've done for me. I just wanted my sister back so badly. I couldn't even see that she was manipulating me.
Piper: Well, that's very convenient, but how are supposed to know this isn't a trap?
(Billie shakes her head.)
Paige: Guess we have to let her talk.
Phoebe: Where's Christy?
Billie: I don't know. Probably at Magic School trying to figure out a way to kill you.
Grams: But you're not.
Billie: No. No. That was before. (Grams put the Book down.) They twisted everything to make us think we were doing the right thing.
Piper: Who?
Billie: The Triad. They used us. They used Christy. They have spent the last fifteen years turning her into a killer. That's all they've cared about that's all they've wanted.
Phoebe: We've already vanquished the Triad.
Billie: Well, Dumain will try and find a way to bring them back. I know it.
Paige: Who's Dumain?
Billie: He's a demon, but he knows them better than anyone, and with Christy…they will stop at nothing.
Magic school
Wyatt was sitting on the floor a bit away from the crystal circle and was light meditating, when a shadow came over him, which made him open his eyes. He looked up to see Speedy standing in front of him, having a weird expression in eyes.
Wyatt: Hey Speedy. What's up?
Speedy: You going to die today, he said with an evil smile on his face and with a little madness in his eyes. Wyatt got up quickly and they were both the same height, so they looked straight in eachothers eyes.
Wyatt: What did you just say? He said anger rising in him.
Speedy: You heard me. All this years that I have been in this school, the only thing I hear is in every class in every example, about the Charmed Ones. Charmed this, Charmed that…I'm sick of it. Like we are nothing. Our powers are nothing. There are more powerful students at this school, like me, but does anybody notice…Noooo, why should they? If we don't talk about the Old Charmed Ones, then we talk about the Almighty twice blessed Child Wyatt and your filthy little sister Melinda. Poor Chris. He is the black sheep of the family and I know exactly how he feels and there are more of us who thinks like this.
Wyatt: You're mad! Do you even hear yourself? Speedy shot fire out of his hands so fast, that Wyatt had just a little time to move aside, but still got hit in his side. He fell on the ground, screaming and holding with his hand his side which started to bleed and burned like hell.
Speedy: Now! He yelled and all around Wyatt demons appeared ready to attack. Wyatt had just enough time to focus on his shield and pulled it up, when al demons started to attack at the same time. Wyatt did his best to focus on his shield, while his side of his body burned like hell. Because of all the commotion, some student came up to see what was happening and when they saw the scene, they all started to run and attack demons with their powers. A girl created a waterball in her hands and threw at one of the demons, who got trapped in a shield of water and couldn't do anything anymore, which made the other demons, focus on the students. This gave Wyatt just time to whisper with his last power to call for Chris.
Wyatt: Chris, your sister is in danger, magic school, the room, he said in pain with a whisper.
Chris orbed immediately on the scene and just one of students got vanquished, right in front of him. He looked around in shock. Wyatt was down. Melinda and Katrina were in a circle. He needed to break the circle so Melinda and Katrina could use their powers. He was just about to walk at them, when I demon came in front of him with an athame. Chris orbed out and orbed back in behind him and moved him telekinetically to the other side of the hallway. He turned around to see a young demon, which he recognized as John holding a fireball in his hand in front of the circle and he kicked one of the crystals away so the protection would break. He grinned to himself and he was just about to throw it at Melinda, when he flew across the hallway when Chris used his power. Chris turned around to pick up the athame and threw at one of the demons who was about to shoot a fireball at Wyatt, he had just woke up and had a lot of pain, at the look of his face. Chris turned again his head to look where John was, when he saw that he was just about to throw a fireball at the way of where the girls where lying. He ran over to John, who got startled and threw the fireball without aiming and Katrina got hit. She started to burn. Chris ran over to save Melinda, before she would catch fire and then looked over just to see John shimmer out of the scene.
He looked around and there were two demons left and three students, which were battling with eachother. Chris ran over to Wyatt and dragged to his sister side.
The past
They see the final moment of Christy's life.
Chris: All you have to do is think about him and he's there.
(Phoebe closes his eyes. Coop appears, groaning in pain.)
Phoebe: Oh, my God. What happened?
(Wyatt and Phoebe help Coop up.)
Coop: I fought him for as long as I could.
Phoebe: Okay, who did this to you?
Coop: Some demon. I'm sorry he, uh, he took my ring.
Billie: We're too late. They're going back in time. But I can too.
[Magic School, Black room. Past Dumain is talking to the Triad. Dumain and Christy appear.]
Asmodeus: What?
Dumain: My lords. We come from the future to warn you about it. The Charmed Ones are going to get the Hollow at the same time Billie and Christy will.
Christy: Which means we've gotta get to it before they do this time.
(The Charmed Ones and Billie appear.)
Dumain: Get out of here!
(The Charmed Ones throw potions at them, vanquishing them.)
Dumain: Noooo!
Piper: Oh, yes.
(Piper blows up Dumain. Christy gasps and steps back. Past Dumain is about to shimmer out, but Piper blows him up.)
Christy: I don't understand! How could this happen?
Phoebe: Billie projected us here.
Paige: By focusing on you.
Piper: Paige.
Paige: Ring!
(Coop's ring orbs to her.)
Christy: How could you?
Billie: Christy, please. It's over. Just come home.
(Christy throws a fireball at them. Billie deflects it back to Christy. She's vanquished. Billie falls to her knees and cries.)
Melinda and Katrina both looked at the final scene in absolute horror. Katrina just saw how her mother became the person she was and had just witnessed her final moment and Melinda was in shock about the fight her mother and aunts had. They were so strong. Melinda hadn't had to fight like that till now. She had her tough fights once in a while, but nothing like this. Was this the future what was also waiting for her. Ultimate battles?
Katrina: Melinda, what is happening? She looked down at her stomach and fire started to come out of it and soon, her whole body was in flames, just like her mothers, moments ago. She started to scream out in pain! Melinda looked in horror what was happening and couldn't move of shock.
Katrina screaming: Melinda, HELP ME, crying PLEASE..?
Melinda reached her hand, even it burned her hand and said: Three.
Magic school present
Melinda woke up and she looked up to see the burned body of Katrina. She cried out in horror and turned her hand, with her hands in front of her face and started to cry. Wyatt had vanquished the last demon just before he tried to shimmer out. He walked over to his family. Chris was holding Melinda and tried to calm her down. Wyatt came and sat down and they had a group hug and they sat there for a while, when Leo came running. One of the students had warned him after the fight.
Leo: Oh my god guys, what happened? He saw both his sons looking at Melinda in tears and Leo kneeled down by his daughter and she looked at him and starts to cry even harder and she was shaking all over and she thought that she could never stop again. She had saved her best friend, just so she could die. She couldn't bare it. She passed out.
Melinda's room
Melinda woke up in her own bed. Her hand was in bandage. She looked up to look in the hazel eyes of her worried and loving mother. She started to cry instantly and she felt instantly her mother's arms around her and she felt like a little girl again. She didn't care. It was too much. When was she going to get anything right? Everytime she kept loosing people she cared about.
Piper: It is ok. Let it go, she said gently. They stayed there like that like for an hour and finally Melinda couldn't cry anymore and she let her mother go.
Piper had let Jake know what was happened and she had asked him to give me some space and that she must be with her family now. Normally she would be mad at her, but somehow she was fine with it.
Melinda: It is not fair. This is so unfair she said, now getting angry, when she felt tears welling up again. Katrina had just seen who her mother really was and she had seen that you guys were truly the good guys and her mother the bad one. Worst part was that she had just seen how Aunt Billie has vanquished her own sister with fire and 10 seconds later, she started to burn herself. Her spirit was in fire. It was horrible to watch. She was innocent. She was manipulated like her mother all her life. She started to cry again, when the images came back, when she woke up. The burned body of Katrina.
Melinda: Mom. I don't want you to leave. I'm a mess. I cannot do it. I cannot be a Charmed One. I'm not cut out for it. I keep messing up things and when you are gone I'll be alone. The boys are never around, only when I really need them.
Piper: You still will have Jake, she said. Off course he has to move out. I'm not ready of the idea that you two are all alone in the house all the time….i want grandchildren, but not yet, she said smirking. Melinda couldn't help to smile back. 'Give it time. You will never forget, but you will learn to live with it.
Melinda: All I want is to forget she said and then looked up at her mother. 'I need to go to magic school. Have to arrange the funeral of Katrina, she said shaking and tears coming in waterfalls.
Piper: Don't worry about that right now. That is a problem for tomorrow, ok? You rest now and tomorrow things will be better.
Melinda: I cannot sleep. Everytime if I close my eyes then I see her burned body. I … cried so hard, she couldn't speak anymore and Piper hugged her daughter and cried also feeling the pain of loss, coming from her daughter. Finally Melinda fell asleep and Piper let herself out, quietly.
John's Penthouse
John shimmered in and was pissed off. 'Damn them! I will get them for this. He walked over to the mirror and the wound on his face and cursed the Charmed Ones in meantime. 'They think they can outsmart me, well they are wrong. They have no clue what I have planned for them. Eventually how hard they try, I will win!
Melinda's room
A few hours later Melinda woke up and looked around and at the table next to her bed, was laying her diary. She reached for it and started to write.
Dear Diary,
I lost Katrina. I feel hollow and miserable! I had saved her. I had shown her that all that she had been told was a lie. There was a great change that their friendship could be again. Now she was gone, by this John the young demon hands, who attacked my family before. He will pay for this. When we will have to battle. I will win. Katrina will give me strength.
OMG OMG! She is really gone. I can't get my head around it. One moment she was standing next to me and the other she was gone, just like that.
Wyatt was burned pretty badly, but mom called for Aunt Paige and she came and healed my both brothers. Mom told me that if it wasn't for Chris, me and Wyatt would be dead by now, and these are Wyatt's own words.
I know I have to talk to Jake, but I just can't right now. I'm a mess. My eyes are bloodied and thick because of the crying. I cannot talk. Everything hurts! I just can't!
My mother is really leaving I think and then I'll be all alone and there will be no one to talk to. I never been alone and I scared out of my mind. Bills, groceries, cleaning, work, fighting demons. When I will be smile and be happy again. Goddess give me strength!
Melinda.
