Melinda
Power of One
Episode 8
Little Monsters
10th of December 2025
Dear Diary,
I'm starting to become my mother. Almost two weeks after we saved the world from suffering we had no Demon attacks. No weird stuff happening. A part of me is completely fine with it and the other part is waiting for the shoe to drop with the bad news. I can't help feeling if John is working on a huge plan, but I haven't figured it out yet. I have been meditating and trying to get visions to see if there is any info I can get about him, but nada. Nothing at all! We are watching the Penthouse, for just in case he returns there.
The good side of this is that I have been spending a lot of time with Jake.
He is so cute and sweet and pretty smart and funny. I love him. I didn't say it yet to him, but I really love him. He is the one for me. I know I'm still young a lot can happen, but it feels that way at this moment and I'm enjoying every second I have with him. I have to say that all those circles and so, are cool for a while, but lengthy and boring to be honest. Of course it is his beliefs and I should believe in them to, been a witch and all, but it seems so pointless. I still have to get used to it I guess.
I really thought that my mom, would be sad and unhappy, because of the move, but she seems pretty happy at Magic School and the magical Manor. I'm happy for her and also dad. Now he is a few doors away from her, instant of to use potions to get to each other all the time.
Wyatt is making himself ready for his big Elder test and Chris is a lot with Bianca and busy with his Charges. So again I'm alone…
Heaven
Sandra: Wyatt, do you have a minute? Wyatt walked over to her. 'I know that you are preparing for your test, but we need you. In the last week or so, a couple of pregnant woman has disappeared and all of their unborn children were supposed to be future whitelighters. We believe that they have been kidnapped for a reason which is at this moment unknown to us.'
Wyatt: Ok, but what has that got to do with my test?
Sandra: Well we need the Charmed Ones to look into this. With that I mean all three of you and not just Melinda. Haven't you notice, how much she complains about it. Till one day she will be right and the Charmed bound will be broken, by yourselves.
Wyatt: What do you need me to do?
Sandra: Check out with your brother and sister the homes of the missing women and the last place they have seen. Maybe you will feel something or Melinda gets a premonition.
Wyatt: Her premonitions don't work that way, but I get it he said a bit irritated.
Sandra: Wyatt, do know that your father struggled with the same problems as you are at this moment. It is not an easy task to be an Elder and also have a family. Like your father, you will find your way. She looked at him one more time and turned around to see some other Elders. Wyatt called for his brother and when he orbed in, he took him by the arm and orbed out before Chris could protest.
They orbed in the kitchen and started to call for Melinda. Who called back from the garden behind the house. Melinda was sitting on her hands and knees and was covered in dirt and had some herbs and some tools and books about herbs with her.
Wyatt: What are you doing? He asked surprised.
Melinda: Well some of the basic herbs we use are easy to plant and take care of, so I thought if I do that, then it will costs less then to buy it constantly. Didn't you guys notice how little food we have left and herbs and everything?
Chris: I thought that you were handling that?
Melinda: I was, with the money my mom left for us to get by. But we are running out of it and I don't want to keep asking mom for money. This means we need to figure out how we going to survive?
Wyatt: I know one thing for sure. Chris and i can't go working. We are whitelighters and if a charge call for us, we need to respond.
Melinda: I know Wyatt, Melinda said annoyed. It looks like I have to find myself a job, which I can combine with being a Charmed One and also take care of the house and you two.
Wyatt: We came here to tell you that the Elders gave us an assignment. He tried to change the subject.
Melinda: I don't work for the Elders, you do. So they gave you an assignment.
Wyatt: I know you and the Elders somehow don't get along, but soon I'm becoming one and then what you're going to do? Ignore also something when I ask it?
Melinda: You know what I was thinking, she said ignoring her brother's question? What is going to happen to the Charmed Ones when you become an Elder? Aren't you supposed to stay up there?
Wyatt: Normally yes, but for me they have made an exception. Being Charmed One and all!
Melinda: I see. So you will be up there constantly pretty much, unless you are needed as a Charmed One, then you're allowed to come down. An elder walking around, between humans is dangerous. If the Demons sense you or kill you and take over your powers, then the Elders are screwed, right? So this means she continued, before Wyatt could answer, that I won't see you again, unless I'm in danger. I won't have any dinners with both of my brothers anymore.
Wyatt looked miserable. Somehow he hadn't thought that far. He just wanted to become an Elder and help them to get rid of Evil with the help of his siblings. He never stood still by this kind of little details.
Wyatt: I am sorry Melinda. I guess I haven't thought this kind of small things through. I still believe I can do both. Be an Elder and a Charmed One, but not at the costs of the little things which are precious in this family, because we don't have them that much. 'I will talk to the Elders he said.'
Chris: Ok, now this is solved, let's go back to the subject of missing pregnant women.
Melinda: Did they give you any descriptions of the Demon? Anything at all?
Chris: They gave us the locations of some of the women, who disappeared, we could go and check it out.
Melinda got up and looked at her nice looking garden and sighed and walked into the Manor to change her clothes. After she had changed, they orbed in with the three of them in the first house of the missing woman. The house looked clean and neat. It didn't look like there was a struggle or anything. They went through the rooms and Melinda noticed a piece of paper. It was a paper of a clinic for pregnant women. Beside that there was nothing special. So they orbed to the second house and again, it looked all clean and fine. There was no sign of anything. They started to search through the rooms and Melinda saw again the same paper as by the house before.
Melinda: Guys? Check this out. This was also in the first house and now I found the same paper also in this house. I'm sure if we go to the third house I will find the same piece of paper. Maybe it is time that I take a visit to this clinic and see what is going on.
Chris: I think that is a great idea. Do you want me to orb you?
Melinda: Aren't you guys coming?
Wyatt: What to a clinic full of pregnant women? No thanks.
Melinda: How am I supposed information by myself?
Chris: You will figure it out?
Wyatt: Yeah! You're smart. You will know what to do? Both brothers looked at each other and orbed out, before Melinda could protest
Clinic
Melinda walked in the clinic and saw all over the place, pregnant women walking around with their huge bellies. She made a sour face, but recovered herself and tried to focus on the mission. She walked up to the counter in the middle of the hall.
Desk women: Hello dear, can I help you with something?
Melinda: Hopefully. I was looking for a job and I heard about this place and wanted to take a chance.
Desk women: I see. Let me check if Gianna is free to talk to you. She dialed some number on the phone and asked if this Gianna had some time. She did and Melinda could go see her right away.
Gianna: Welcome she said standing up to shake Melinda her hand. Melinda walked up to her and shaked her hand and was sucked right away into a premonition
Gianna was walking in the house of one of the pregnant women that were kidnapped. Out of another room, came another demon called Mia.
Women: I have cleaned up every evidence. Nobody will be able to find her.
Gianna: That is good. We need a few more, before we have enough to sell them.
Women: What if we don't make the deadline?
Gianna: We have to! Otherwise it will be the end of us. John is expecting results.
Women: What does he want with all those babies?
Gianna: He wants to get them raised by demons, so they will be evil from the moment they are born. This way he can make sure that the generation after him, will be evil and be prepared.
Women: What happens to the woman after the birth?
Gianna just smiled with an evil grin, but didn't answer the question and they both shimmered out.
Gianna: Are you ok? She asked looking concerned at Melinda? Do you need to sit down or need some water?
Melinda: Yes I am. Thank you. I was just a bit dizzy. I'm fine. I hadn't breakfast this morning. Was in a bit rush.
Gianna: do you want to eat something. We have plenty with all the pregnant walking around here, she said smiling.
Melinda: No really. I'm fine. Thank you.
Gianna: So I understood that you were looking for a job?
Melinda: Yes I am. I have been working with kids before and I love working with them. Then I heard about this place and I thought, that the person who made this place happen, must be a great person.
Gianna: Thank you. We are doing our best to help women in need.
Melinda: Yeah. In this time it happens more often that women are left behind pregnant after the dad is gone. I think that I would love to help out those women in need. Be there for them. Help them around the house. Be there so they have someone to talk to.
Gianna: I think that I won't have to ask anything else. You have just told me what I exactly wanted to hear. When can you start?
Melinda: Tomorrow, if that is ok with you?
Gianna: Sure no problem. See you tomorrow then. In the meantime I will see if I can find you a customer who you can help out. After Melinda left, Mia came out of one of the rooms.
Gianna: She was a witch and a powerful one too.
Mia: Do you think she is onto us.
Gianna: I don't think so. I don't think that she realizes how powerful she is or that she is even a witch.
Mia: Well keep an eye on her. We cannot fail or we die all.
Gianna: The new source will indeed not be happy.
Mia: Well he is not yet the new Source, but soon he will be and we should be on his top list of Demons he can trust.
They both smiled with an evil grin and then they walked to a big mirror in the room and Gianna mumbled some words and the mirror moved aside and there was another room. When they walked into the room, it was filled with woman tight up against walls. Very skinny!
Gianna: Hope you are hungry she said to Mia and then their faces started to change unnaturally and they devoured together one of the women. The others screamed as they watched the Demons eat of the woman. The blood sprayed onto the other woman and walls, which made them, scream even harder.
Underworld, Lair John
The Demon that was sent to find the Grimoire shimmered in in the cave where John was staying for the moment.
John: Well?
Demon: The book has been thrown into a volcano my liege. There is nothing left of it.
John: What are you saying? I can't be crowned and get the powers of the Source?
Demon: There might be another way, my liege?
John: Whatever it is, make sure you come back with some answers, fast!
Manor
Melinda: Wyatt? Chris? Guys? Both brothers orbed in at the same time.
Wyatt: How did it go?
Melinda: Well i have learned a lot actually. John is behind all those disappearing!
Chris: John? Why would he want some pregnant women?
Melinda: To create an army for the next generation. He wants to make them evil from the moment they are born and strengthen his army.
Wyatt: What? Really?
Melinda: Yep. Looks like it!
Wyatt: Did you figure out where they take the pregnant women?
Melinda: No, but tomorrow I will start working there. I got hired, she said with a grin!
Wyatt: I didn't doubt for a moment that they would refuse you!
Chris: Liar! He was worried sick, that the Demons would figure you out and attack you there. Auw!
Wyatt punched him on the arm. All of them laughed.
Wyatt: Be careful, ok?
Melinda: You know me. Careful is my middle name she said as she walked to the kitchen.
Chris: Where are you going?
Melinda: I got hungry of all those pregnant women. Both brothers shake their heads while they watched her sister walk to the kitchen and orbed out.
Underworld, Lair John
The waiting for the demon to return seemed endless. He needed to become the new Source fast, before the Demons wouldn't believe in him anymore and he really need to do something about the Charmed Ones. He almost jumped from excitement of his own plan to bring down the Charmed Ones. History would repeat itself.
Clinic
The next day Melinda walked in the clinic and Gianna was already waiting for her.
Gianna: Good morning. How are we today?
Melinda: Fine thanks.
Gianna: So shall we introduce you to your first customer?
Melinda: Sounds great.
They walked up to a young girl, who wasn't much older than Melinda herself. Gianna introduced them and her name was Lizzy. They talked about what Lizzy needed and how Melinda would be able to help her out. They agreed that Melinda would go with Lizzy to her house, to get to know her better and also the situation where she lives in.
Heaven
Wyatt and Chris orbed in and walked both of them to Sandra.
Wyatt: Is there any news about the missing women?
Sandra: Unfortunately not yet. Did you find out anything?
Chris: John is behind it.
Sandra: John? Why?
Wyatt: It seems that he is kidnapping pregnant women and uses the babies to make them evil and create a next generation of Demons.
Sandra: What happens to the mothers?
Wyatt: We hope that Melinda can tell us more about that soon. She is working now sort of undercover in the clinic.
Sandra: Sort of?
Wyatt: Well yeah. Since mom and dad moved out we haven't thought about stuff like, money!
We found out, that we are a bit short of it, so now Melinda has a job so we can get food and stuff.
Sandra: Hmm
Wyatt: What's that supposed to mean?
Sandra: That means that I'm very disappointed in you.
Wyatt: Why? What did I do?
Sandra: That's the thing Wyatt. You didn't do anything. You are the eldest. It is your job and responsibility to make sure that your family is taken care of and save. Not your youngest sibling.
You have been lately so focused on your own desire to be an Elder, that you leave stuff as Demons to your sister. She is more powerful then you ever can imagine and she can take of herself, but that doesn't mean that you are not needed.
Wyatt: I just want to be Elder and use my powers for good.
Sandra: Are you sure that's the only thing, why you like to be more up here then down there?
Wyatt: I…I don't understand?
Sandra: Since you are a baby, evil has tried to kill you, change you. There were moments in the past, they succeeded, but your parents and aunts, changed that again over and over again. I believe you like to be up here, so you cannot be harmed and changed by evil?
Wyatt didn't respond and just walked away from Sandra and finally orbed out to the Manor. He orbed in the Attic to be alone, but his sister just came in when he orbed.
Melinda: You ok?
Wyatt: I'm not sure. I just need some time to think about stuff!
Melinda: Anything I can help with?
Wyatt: No. This is something I have to figure out on my own, ok?
Melinda: Sure. I leave you to it then. She walked up and took the book with her, when she left the attic.
Wyatt: Thanks sis! Melinda turned to her brother.
Melinda: For what?
Wyatt: Just …for everything and for being my sister…
Melinda smiled at her brother, but when she turned around her face was worried.
Downtown Lizzy's home
It took Melinda a while before she found the right hallway to the apartment of Lizzy.
She knocked on the door. She heard some whispering before the door opened. Lizzy was standing in front on the door, trying to look as normal as possible, but Melinda felt something was wrong with her.
Lizzy: Hi Melinda. Come on in.
Melinda: Thanks. How are you? She looked up to see Mia standing by the window looking at them both. 'Hi Mia! Melinda said.
Mia: Hi. She looked at Lizzy:' Think about what we have discussed and remember that the issue is a bit discreet. She passed both of the women and walked out of the apartment.
Melinda: What is her deal?
Mia: She is always a bit reserved. Don't worry about it.
Melinda: Sure. So what you want to do?
The rest of the day they had a great time. They did some shopping for baby clothes and did some groceries. They worked on the baby room. It was a good day. Lizzy was really enjoying herself and that made Melinda very happy. She was digging this job. They had a nice cup of coffee and they were talking about how long, before the birth and Lizzy told Melinda, that it could be any minute. They had some nice pasta with cream sauce. Around eight Melinda left Lizzy to go home.
Underworld, John's Lair
John was still pacing around in his Lair. His minion was taking his time and John was not known for his patience, when it came to his minions. Every minute felt like an hour. So close to become the new Source. He couldn't wait till he was coroneted. Then he felt the demon shimmer in behind him.
Demon: My liege! I have brought someone you need to see. John turned around to look at his minion and guest.
John: And who is this? He asked, while he walked up to his visitor and walked around him.
Demon: This is sorcerer Ahti. He is the sorcerer who created the original Grimoire.
John: Really? How come that I hadn't heard of him before.
Demon: Not a lot of people know about his existence. He was the one who made the coronation spell for the original Source.
John: How did you find him?
Demon: Well we had to kill another high-level Demon to get the location of the hole.
John: Hole?
Demon: Yes. When you arrive at the hole then you must have standing 5 men at each point of the pentagram and the 6th person calls for the dark magic and the person they seek. Offering the 5 others for the soul of one!
John: This is interesting. So you can bring back any Demon?
Demon: I guess so. You will need for each Demon the specific items that are needed for the ritual and of course the right spell!
John: How did you got yours?
Demon: From the high-level Demon we killed. He was a collector and wanted to raise some powerful Demons to take over the Underworld and above.
John: Good that you have killed him then! You will be rewarded for your loyalty. The Demon looked pleased. 'So sorcerer, tell me. Can you make the same spell you did all those years ago for the Source?
Ahti: I think so, he said.
John: Well what are you waiting for? Start working. Give him anything he needs to finish the spell, he said to the Demon!
Clinic
Gianna and Mia were just coming out of the secret room in the office when John shimmered in.
John: How are things going?
Gianna: My liege! Things are going perfect.
John: I need one more baby, and then I will have exactly thirteen babies. The right number!
Gianna: Sorry for asking, but why do you need only thirteen babies?
John: Everybody knows that thirteen is a bad number. It brings bad luck among other things.
I will create the perfect thirteen warriors, which will only serve me and will be mine personal army when I have become the Source!
Gianna: The last one can get her baby any minute.
John: Then why are you two here?
Mia: Because we have a new girl working with her and we have told her to call us the moment the attractions start!
John: And you believe she will?
Mia: Yes we do. She has no clue what to do, may the baby come too soon.
John: Good. Well keep an eye on her. I don't want anything to go wrong anymore! What about the mothers?
Gianna: They taste delicious, she said laughing. Then they all laughed.
John: I'm going back to my Lair. I hear from you when the last baby has arrived?
Gianna and Mia both nodded and then John shimmered out.
Manor
Melinda was reading lightly when her brothers orbed in looking worried.
Melinda: what is going on?
Wyatt: We have some bad news. The elders sensed that a very old and powerful sorcerer has been resurrected.
Melinda: Ok?
Wyatt: You don't understand. This sorcerer was the one who created the spell for the Source to get his full powers. The Elders believe that John is now planning to do the same.
Melinda: Wait a minute. John has resurrected this sorcerer? To become the new Source?
Wyatt: Yes!
Melinda: That is not good. We must stop this sorcerer or John, before he becomes the Source!
Chris: There is more. The Elders think that the missing pregnant women are connected to this and that they serve as human sacrifice for him to become the Source.
Melinda: You must be joking. This is getting better and better! Oh my god, Lizzy!
Wyatt: Who is Lizzy?
Melinda: She is the pregnant women I have been assigned to. I have a hunge that Mia one of the workers is behind the disappearing, but I can't prove anything yet. I have to go and check on Lizzy if she is fine.
Chris: I can orb you there, if you want?
Melinda: That would be great. She stood up and hugged her brother and they both orbed out and so did Wyatt.
Downtown Lizzy's home
They orbed in, close to the door of Lizzy's apartment. Chris was just about to orb away when they heard a scream coming from the apartment. Melinda ran to the door and using her telekinesis she waved with her hand and the door broke open.
They hurried inside to see a few demons in the room and Lizzy throwing stuff at them and screaming. Melinda started immediately to blow up some of the demons and yelled at Chris to orb her out. Chris did as he was told and Melinda started to freeze the Demons and blow them up or use her telekinesis to send them flying or to send an energy ball back at them. Everytime she vanquished a demon another appeared, but she kept fighting and kept blowing them up, when Chris orbed back in and while she was blowing demons, he grapped her and orbed her out to the Manor.
Manor
When they orbed in the attic, Melinda walked straight to Lizzy. Who was sitting on the couch, completely freaked out! She looked up to see Melinda and started to cry and Melinda sat down next to her and hugged and made sussing sounds to calm her down.
Lizzy: What is going on? She asked between the crying?
Melinda: I know what you have seen was weird and it is going to get a little bit weirder. Me and my brothers are witches. The men that appeared out of nowhere in your apartment are Demons.
Lizzy: Demons? Witches? Are you saying that they are real?
Melinda: Yes they are and now the Demons are after you baby. Lizzy grapped her stomach and looked scared at Melinda.
Lizzy: My baby? Why would they want my baby, she asked?
Melinda: Let's say that your unborn child will do some amazing and great things in the future and therefore this Demon is trying to stop that, before the babies grow and become good.
Lizzy: How do you know all of this?
Melinda: Like I said. We are witches. It is our job to protect the innocent.
Lizzy: Well I don't know what to say, but thank you for saving me!
Melinda: You're very welcome she said smiling at Lizzy. Then the face of Lizzy changed as she looked in horror at Melinda.
Lizzy: I think my wathers just broke and she looked down and saw a wet couch and floor. The boys looked in horror at the scene, not knowing what to do.
Melinda: Ok calm down. We need to go to the hospital she said to her brothers. They grapped Melinda and Lizzy and orbed them right to the Memorial Hospital nearby.
Hospital
Melinda was pacing around in the hallway, while Chris and Wyatt were sitting. The Gianna and Mia came walking down the hallway.
Gianna: Thanks for calling. How is she?
Mia: Is the baby out yet? She asked sharply, which made Melinda alert.
Melinda: We just got here. There were some complications and now they are checking her.
Mia: Is there something wrong with the baby?
Melinda: No the baby is fine and also Lizzy, she said strongly.
Gianna: Well it looks like we have to wait. I need to make some phone calls. I'll be right back.
Melinda looked at Chris and was signing with her eyes to follow her. Chris got up and said that he needed to stretch his legs and that he needed to go to the toilet. He walked the way Gianna went so he could spy on her. He walked around the corner and saw Gianna go in one of the rooms in the hallway. He stood by the door so he could listen if he could hear anything.
Gianna: The baby can come any minute my liege. I will get rid of the new girl and her brothers and then get the baby and bring it to you.
John: This is all wrong. You should have already captured her, so she could give birth underground. Now if we make her disappear then a child and mother would be missing! This new girl has brothers and they are with her, you said?
Gianna: Yes that is correct? Why? Is there something wrong? John held his hand on the forehead of Gianna to see her latest memory and saw Melinda and her brothers and Mia.
John: You fool! That girl and her brothers are the Charmed Ones! If they are here, you will never get the kid. We need to create a diversion. Chris hearing this, walked as quickly as he could back to his siblings. He sat down next to Wyatt and started to whisper in his ears about what he had just heard.
Wyatt: Melinda can I speak to you for a moment, he said with his eyebrows going up and down as a sign?
Melinda: Sure! They walked away from Mia and were standing a bit away from her and in the meantime Gianna returned and was now whispering something to Mia. Wyatt filled her in about what Chris had heard and they agreed that the child needed to be protected. As soon as it was born, Wyatt would orb it to Heaven. Chris and she would deal with this two Demons!
Mia: Me and Gianna are going to get some coffee. Does anybody want something? The Charmed Ones nodded that they didn't anything and the women walked away.
Melinda: Ok. Wyatt you orb and watch the baby. No matter what happens, they cannot take that baby. Chris you are going to follow them again and I'm going to see how Lizzy is doing.
Chris: How are you going to do that?
Melinda: Say that I'm family. They cannot refuse that. She walked in one of the doors and found a room with some hospital clothes and changed her outfit and then found the room where they were handling Lizzy.
She walked in the scene and to Lizzy. When the doctor looked up and didn't recognize her.
Doctor: Who are you? How did you get in here?
Lizzy: I'm her sister and the door was open so I changed and came in to be with her.
Doctor looked from one to the other and probably decided that he had no time to argue.
'Ok, I think we are able to have the baby naturally. I just need one or two good pushes he said while looked at Lizzy.
Lizzy was sweating and her face was red and you could see her neck muscles while she was pushing as hard as she could. After the big push Lizzy was exhausted, but she had to push one more time. You could already see the head of the baby.
Lizzy: I can't. I'm so tired and it burns, it burns!
Melinda: Come on you can do it. Come on. One more push. I'm here. Come on! Push!
Lizzy pushed as much as she could and then finally the baby was out.
Doctor: Congratulations, you have a daughter! After they had cleaned up the baby they handed it over to Lizzy, who took her little girl in her hands and the baby opened her eyes and they stared at each other as to say: I belong to you and you belong to me!
Mia and Gianna returned and saw Chris, sitting at the same place they had left him. Not knowing that he has been following them through the hospital and he already told their plan to Wyatt.
Mia: Where are your brother and sister?
Chris: My brother got called and needed to leave and my sister needed to stretch her legs and wandered off, but will be back soon.
Mia and Gianna looked at each other and then back to Chris and suddenly Mia shot an energy ball at Chris, who orbed out just in time. Chris orbed in a bit away from them.
Chris: Now now ladies. That wasn't so nice of you. You really want to do this here?
Mia: The child is ours! She shimmered out to get the baby, but shimmered back in, looking pissed and worried. 'What have you done with the child?
That moment Melinda came out of one of the rooms. She looked up to see that an energy ball was coming her way, that Gianna had shot out of her hands, which Chris was not able to stop in time. She quickly held her hands up and blew up the energy ball. She quickly held her hands up again to freeze them and Mia froze, but Gianna didn't.
Gianna: That child belongs to us. We will not rest, till we have it.
Melinda: Well good luck finding it! She said with a smirk on her face. O, by the way, I quit!
Gianna: you will pay for this. Mark my words. John will have his revenge and once he became the Source, he will kill you like you are an insect.
Melinda: Really? Fascinating! I believe he already tried that a few times, but we are still standing and he keeps losing. The poor thing.
Gianna: How dare you to talk about him in that way. You have no idea what he is capable of. As we speak he is being coroneted to become the Source. She wanted to throw another energy ball at Melinda, but Chris moved his hand slowly and Gianna flew hard against the wall and right after that Melinda threw her hands up and vanquished Gianna.
Quickly they went to check on Lizzy. She was lying in bed and Wyatt was with her and the baby. They told Lizzy that she didn't have to worry about Mia and Gianna anymore. She asked Wyatt if the Elders could cloak Lizzy and the little one, till this whole thing was over. Wyatt said he would ask and orbed out.
Lizzy: I don't know how to thank you. I can't believe myself of what I have seen today, but thank you.
Melinda: No problem. Like I said, this is what we do!
Lizzy: I'm sorry that you have lost your job, but if you need a job, I could use a little help and I have enough money to pay you. What do you say?
Melinda: I'm speechless. Thanks. That would be great. Even if I don't know much about babies, but I am a quick learner, she said smiling. Did you already figured out a name for our little one here?
Lizzy:Yes I have, she said. I will call her Melinda, she said smiling and looked at Melinda.
Melinda:That is a good and strong name, she said also smiling.
Underworld, Coronation room
The Demon who had found Ahti the sorcerer shimmered right in, when John's body was floating in the air and was coming down again. The whole earth shook when that happened. The ceremony was over and he had become at last the new Source. With his black eyes he turned around to everybody in the room and showed it to them, so they all bowed. He saw the Demon and walked up to him.
Demon: Congratulations my liege!
John: Thank you. Now you are here, I would like to promote you to become my personal advisor.
Demon: I would be honored my liege, but first I have some bad news.
John: And what would that be?
Demon: Gianna and Mia have failed my liege. They have been vanquished by the Charmed Ones.
They have also have let the Elders cloak the child and the mother, so we can't find them.
John: Damn them! The Charmed Ones have interfered once too much with my plans and I had enough of it! It is time that I teach them a lesson they will never forget.
Demon: May I ask what you are planning to do.
John: You will see soon enough. Find me another women who is pregnant of a future whitelighter, but before you do, I want you to call up a meeting with all the high-level Demons. Gather them around! The Demon shimmered out, leaving an angry Source behind.
Clinic
Melinda and Wyatt were searching in the office of Gianna, if they could find any clues about the other women. They searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything. After a while they gave up and wanted to leave when Melinda suddenly stood still and turned around to look one more time at the room.
Wyatt: What's wrong?
Melinda: Don't know. Something tingles?
Wyatt: Tingles?
Melinda: Yeah, like we are overlooking something. I have a feeling that the women are very close, but where? She walked around with her hand passing the walls and then the closet. She stopped walking and walked back at the place where she felt something. She closed her eyes and breathed a few times and opened her eyes and said: 'Reveal.
She heard click before her and the closet door opened a bit. Wyatt and Melinda pushed together the closet aside and there was a secret door. They went through it and they had to put their hands in front of their noses, because of the disgusting smell. They kept walking till they saw some women still alive, hanging on chains against the wall. There were also empty chains and a lot of blood and Melinda didn't want to know, what happened here.
All the women were free and were crying and trying to understand what happened? Wyatt called for Chris and that he had to bring some memory dust. Chris orbed in and had a bag of powder with him. Wyatt spoke carefully his words, making the woman forget the whole capturing part and the Demon part. Unfortunately not all the women were saved. From the twelve women only six were over, but the Charmed Ones were still happy that they could save at least those six women.
Wyatt: How did you know that there was a door?
Melinda: I don't know. It felt if there was magic used in that corner. Something tingled and made me look closer.
Wyatt: This is then one of your new powers?
Melinda: Don't know, but whatever it was, I'm glad that we were able to find the women and free them, right? Wyatt just looked amazed at his little sister and grinned at her proud.
Underworld, John's Lair
All the high-level Demons were sitting on the huge table in the middle of the cave. John was standing on the top of the table.
John: A new era has arrived. As the new Source i will make sure that evil will take over the human world and kill the Charmed Ones once and for all. Some demons had a hard time believing that he would be able to do all those things and were vanquished on the spot by John, with a blink of his eye.
John: So much negativity. I need achievers. Demons with passion for killing and torturing! Demons who don't kill for fun, but with a higher purpose, to serve me and my goa!
All Demons nodded and agreed with the new Source.
John: First we have to get rid of the Charmed Ones and we are going to do that by repeating history, he said with a very evil grin on his face.
Dear Diary,
I'm scared. John has reached his goal and became the Source of all Evil. My mother and her sisters had to fight against him long time ago and it cost them Aunt Prue. I'm terrified that something will happen to one of my brothers or my family.
He has now 12 little babies, which he will create his own personal army with. He wanted 13 babies, but we stopped him getting the last one he needed. I also have gotten myself a job as the nanny/personal assistant of my client Lizzy. So we don't have to worry about food or anything, because I'm bringing the money in!
Today I felt something weird when I was searching for the missing women. I felt that magic was used, but couldn't trace it. Then I went with my hand over stuff and there it was. Tingling in my hand and we found the secret door. My raw power is growing and I like it.
Speak to you soon,
Melinda
