Melinda
Power of One
Episode 17
Love hurts
Part 1
01-03-2026
I am so tired, that I almost can't hold this pen or write anything, but I will try. I have been cleaning the whole house for the last two days. This for two reasons.
1. I am waiting for Sophie and Mia to make their next move.
2. We are going to have a date dinner.
Sophia or Mia, none of them attacked us, after our defeat in the woods. That can mean only one thing. They are planning a strategy and we are playing the lead roles in it.
To keep things light and try to have a normal life, I have arranged that all three of us, bring our dates and have a meal with each other. I would like to know Bianca better. I know she is good and all, but still I am scared for my brother Chris. I shouldn't think like that, but I can't help it. What if she turns against us? She knows so much about us. The changes are small, but still. Look at Cole. Aunt Phoebe dated him, while she knew he was a Demon and, married him, thinking that he was a good guy. In the meantime he was the Source of all Evil and tricked her to marry him and finally his true colors showed and they had to vanquish him.
I also want to meet Caroline. I am still not happy with her being an Elder, but what can I do about it. Wyatt is crazy about her. These days, he can't make one sentence without using her name at least twice. Caroline this, Caroline that. I am not jealous but it is driving me nuts. So I would like to find out, if she is really that sweet and kind, as Wyatt claims she is.
My date will be Jake, of course. It took some convincing and even getting angry, but in the end he said yes. He and Silvia are still recovering after what Mia and Sophie did to them. They drained their powers and made them human again. Poor thing, even a simple or a small spell doesn't work anymore. It breaks my heart to see him like that.
So I figured to have a dinner with each other. Also to show that it doesn't matter, what you are, we still can talk and have fun and eat nice food together.
Two days ago, I have bought two sets of crystals, like we have and spelled them, like Aunt Prue did and I buried them all around the house on the outside. Another set I have place above every door and window in the whole house.
The set we already had I have put all around the attic and a few around the Book of Shadows. I don't want anything to happen tonight.
Melinda stopped writing in her diary, because there was a fly, buzzing around her and her diary. She couldn't stand it anymore, but didn't want to kill the little insect, so she froze it.
Deep in de woods
Mia: What happened? Why can't we see anything anymore?
Sophie: Because she froze the fly. Damn her. But doesn't matter. We got at least the info we needed.
All of them, with their lovers will be at the Manor tonight.
Manor, Melinda's bedroom
Melinda was watching the fly. It didn't look like a normal fly. She reached for it and touched the wings of the frozen fly and got sucked into a vision:
They were all having dinner. Things were not going that smoothly as she was hoping, but everybody was on their best behavior. They all loved the food, Melinda had prepared. Then suddenly they get attacked and in the middle of fight, Jake got hit and dies, instantly. Everybody is running around and shouting and using their powers, that it is hard to see, who is attacking them.
She got sucked out of the vision to go right into another one.
They were all having dinner. Things were not going that smoothly as she was hoping, but everybody was on their best behavior. They all loved the food, Melinda had prepared. Then suddenly they get attacked by thousands of flies and bees and all sorts of flying insects. They are only not normal insects, but spelled. This time, they all got bitten by them and their love for each other started to fade and turned into hatred.
She almost fell backwards, because of the two similar, but different visions. She looked at the fly and stared at it. She released the fly to see what it would do, but when it was released, it was just hanging in the air, in front of Melinda and didn't do anything. Just hang there.
Deep in the woods
Sophie: We are back in action, she let Mia know.
Mia instantly touched Sophie again and so they could both watch what Melinda was doing.
Sophie: I think she is on to something. Do you see how she is watching the fly?
Mia: maybe we should fly out of the room, before she gets superstitious?
Sophie: I think that is a good idea.
Manor Melinda's room
Melinda saw the fly moving slowly to the open window and it was gone. She stared for a couple of minutes to the window, but nothing happened anymore. She sat down and she started to get a weird feeling. She was afraid that things wouldn't turn out the way she wanted it to be.
What was it with the two visions? She never had them like that before. Like the universe was showing the things that could happen, tonight. She needed advise.
Melinda: Caroline? She called and looked up.
Blue orbs started to appear in front of her and Caroline was standing in front of her, looking surprised at Melinda, that she had called for her.
Caroline: You called? She asked with a smile.
Melinda: Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know who to ask advice to.
Caroline: Wow and you thought of me. That's sweet. How can I help? She asked brightly.
Melinda: Well, the weirdest thing just happened. I was writing in my diary and there was a fly, constantly around me and the diary. When I froze it and touched it, I got a vision, but when the vision stopped, I got sucked into another one. They were both, almost the same, but in the first one, we were fighting demons and in the second one, we were fighting insects.
Caroline: So, if I understand you correctly, you have seen two visions in which you are in the same situation, but the attackers are different and also the outcome?
Melinda: Yes! Melinda confirmed, glad that she understood.
Caroline: That can mean a few things, she said thinking out loud. It can be that your powers are growing and you have now the power, to see multiple futures. That can be handy, because the universe is warning you and giving you options. Second thing it can mean is that your powers haven't grown yet, but in this situation, both things will happen, but in a different time line. Like one can happen at six and the other at eight. Do you understand what I trying to explain?
Melinda: I guess so. So or I have seen two futures, in which it depends on the steps I take, during the day till the moment of the visions which decides, which one of the two will come out…or both of them are going to happen, right?
Caroline: Yes, she said.
Melinda: is there a way for you to find out if my powers have grown?
Caroline: Sure no problem. Is it ok, if I let you know when we have dinner tonight?
Melinda: Well the thing is, whatever is going to happen, is will be when we are having dinner, so if I could know it before, then I know what I have to do.
Caroline: I will get back to you a.s.a.p., she said smiling and orbed out.
Melinda: Wyatt! Chris! She called.
Both brothers orbed in, at the same time, looking worried.
Chris: What's up Mel, he said looking at his sister.
Melinda told them about the fly and that she had the feeling, if it was spying on her. Then she told them about both of the visions. After that, they were all sitting on the bed of Melinda, in silence thinking about what she had told. She had told also about the visit of Caroline.
Wyatt: She was here? He said instantly when he heard her name. I wonder, why she hasn't said hi?
Melinda: Well maybe, she didn't come for a booty call, but for a serious matter, she said rolling her eyes to Chris, who was laughing hard.
Chris: Oh bro, you are killing me. You are such a loser. Acting like a little boy, every time you hear her name.
Wyatt threw a pillow at him and now they were all laughing. Caroline appeared and watched delighted at the scene, till Wyatt noticed and stopped in midair with punching his pillow. Chris saw his opportunity and hit Wyatt hard with the pillow, which made Wyatt fall on the floor, right in front of Caroline. She looked down smiling and Wyatt turned completely red and got up without looking at her.
Melinda: And? Did you find anything? She asked curious.
Caroline: Yes actually. First, your premonition powers. They are growing. Because you have all the original Charmed powers, we believed, it would also grow like theirs. You know, we thought that at some point you would get astral projection powers from Prue and the telepathy power of Phoebe, but instead, your own premonition powers are growing. We have no name for it, but it would be something between having premonitions and being a seer and see the possible future.
Melinda: You lost me there! I can do what now?
Caroline: You get sucked into premonitions, by touching stuff or being around a certain energy. A seer can see things at command and predict the future, mostly very accurate. So yours is something in between, because of the mix, you are getting multiple visions now and with that, multiple futures.
From that point, it depends all on you and the things you do, till that time, which decides which future will really happen. Even then, you are still able to change it, as you already relived once, so you know what is going to happen. It is actually a very rare and powerful power to have. It can only gives you a headache from time to time, as you have options now.
Wyatt: Wow sis. You are really getting day by day unbeatable!
Melinda looked at her brother for a moment, because of the way he said it and looked at her. It was a smile, but if it was for real, that was another question.
Caroline: Actually I am here also for another matter. For which we need you too, she said pointing at Wyatt and Chris.
Chris: What's up?
Caroline: Well, normally we don't pay attention, to normal killings between the humans, but in this case, it even reached us. Human criminals, mostly men, are killing Witches or any magical being they can find.
Wyatt: Are you sure they are human?
Caroline: Yes, we are. The worst part is, they are all very good at being a criminal. Some witches, were home, working on something, cooking or reading a book and before they even could use their powers, to defend themselves, they were killed by a bullet. They are snicky and very quick. We believe they are spelled and someone is ordering them to kill Witches.
Chris: Do you think this has anything to do with The Witches of the First Order?
Melinda: I am not sure. I never saw, what attacked us. I just saw from which side and it seemed that they were coming from all directions.
Wyatt: Maybe a Demon, who is planning something?
Melinda: Maybe the two hags are planning something and gathering powers of the Witches, to become stronger. They already have the powers of their coven members and from Silvia and Jake. We have no idea, how strong they are and what they are capable off. Whatever you do, please be careful ok. If you need me and you can't get me, call for Caroline, she can orb me to you, if needed.
Both her brothers nodded and Caroline orbed out with them. Melinda went downstairs and to the kitchen. It became time to start cooking and that always helped to take her mind of worries.
Somehow, she had a feeling that it would be a very long day, before they would have dinner together.
Deep in de woods
Mia: So it is time for plan B. We have now enough power, to control a whole bunch of animals, she said grinning to Sophia.
Sophie: It was a smart idea to distract the brothers with the criminals. Now we have fully the time to attack Melinda and do whatever it takes to bring her down to her knees and beg her for mercy, she said determent.
Manor, kitchen
The music was streaming through the whole Manor. Melinda had put it very loud, as she was all alone and was cooking. She was singing a song of the Smiths "How soon is now".
I am the son
I am the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particularYou shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
She stopped in her tracks, with in one hand a spoon and in the other a plate, when she heard a click sound very close to her ear and felt a point of a gun against her head.
Criminal: One move and BAM, you are dead, he said. Also don't even think about using your powers. I have an amulet, which protects me against your powers, he said with an evil green.
Above the music, they heard the door of the Manor closing and soon after that, they could hear Jake calling out for Melinda. In that moment, the criminal looked away for a second to the kitchen door, when Melinda hit him hard, in his face with the plate she had in her hand. He backed away and she tried to freeze him, but it didn't work, she tried to duck behind the kitchen island, when you could hear clearly a shot through the whole Manor.
Jake rushed into the kitchen and saw a man running out of the house, from the backdoor of the kitchen. He wanted to run behind him, when he saw the blood on the floor. He stopped and looked down and saw that Melinda was hit in her chest, right between her heart and shoulder. There was a lot of blood coming out.
Jake: Melinda! Melinda, I am here! OMG! WYATT! CHRIS! ANYBODY! HELP! He shouted, while he was holding a weakening Melinda and crying. When nobody came, he put her down gently and ran to the phone and called for 911.
Alley somewhere down town
Wyatt and Chris were hiding between a dumpster. Wyatt was cursing. They were getting shot, from all over the place, by a bunch of criminals. Chris used his telekinesis powers to move the criminals, who were closing on them, back again. They couldn't kill them, as they were human and spelled, but they had to find a way to stop them, without really hurting them.
Wyatt and Chris both heard the cry for help from Jake, but they couldn't leave now and let the five criminals go, so they could kill another witch.
Magic School, Magical Manor
Piper was just taking a chocolate cake out of the oven, when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which made her fall the cake and she had to lean on the kitchen island, to not fall down.
She started to cry and she knew something terrible was happened. She closed her eyes and sensed her children. Wyatt and Chris were pretty stressed and felt ambushed. Melinda she felt faintly. Like her life force was fading by the minute. She ran out of the kitchen to the office of Leo, to tell him that something terrible has happened to one of their children.
Manor
Piper and Leo appeared in the hallway and both of them started to call out for their children, but got no reaction of any of them.
Piper: Leo, where are our children. Why is nobody responding! She shrieked.
Leo was looking also worried and started to look around him, to see if he could find a clue. They walked through the rooms, when they ended up in the kitchen and found the blood on the floor.
Piper: whose blood is that? She asked looking worried by the minute.
Leo: Dun no. He said looking at his wife.
Piper: If something happens to one of my children and I know who is behind it, I will hunt them till the end of the world, she shouted while she was pacing.
She stopped in her tracks and held her heart. All this stress was not good for her. She sat down for a moment, when Bianca shimmered in, with a bottle of wine.
Piper: Bianca? What are you doing here? She asked surprised.
Bianca: Oh hi, she said smiling at Piper and Leo.
Melinda: I was hoping to see Melinda, so I could give her this delicious wine for tonight's dinner.
Leo: Dinner?
Bianca: Yes. Melinda had invited me, the Elder girlfriend of Wyatt and her human boyfriend.
She wanted to spend some time together and then we could get to know each other better. She also said something about, showing, that all different kind of people still can have fun and a nice evening.
So I had nothing to do, and wanted to see, if I could help with anything.
Piper: Really, well that is good, because I can use your help, right now.
Bianca: Sure. How can I help? She asked looking at Piper.
Leo: Our children are not responding to our calls and there is blood here and we have no clue what has happened or is going on. It is nothing for Wyatt or Chris, to not respond to our calls.
Bianca: You want me to search for them? She said, finishing Leo's story.
Piper: Yes. That would be great. You are faster with shimmering, than we use teleportation potions.
Bianca: Sure no problem. Over the years I have somehow developed a sense for feeling for Chris.
She closed her eyes and without saying a word, she shimmered out again, leaving a worried Piper and Leo behind.
Piper got up and looked around in the kitchen. She saw a few recipes and looked around her at the ingredients. She lifted her sleeves and started to prepare and cook things. Leo knew that she was doing that, to keep her mind of things.
Piper: Are you going to help or just stand there watching me.
Leo: Honey, is there a special reason, that we are cooking, he asked carefully.
Piper: I don't know what is going on, but all I know is, that my children are in danger and when the danger is over, they still would love to have that dinner. So if I can help out, by making it for them or at least prepare the most, then that is what I am going to do, she said determent and looked at Leo.
He gave in and started to cut the vegetables, while she was steering and checking what her daughter was planning to make.
Alley somewhere down town
Bianca shimmered in very close to the dumpster and looked around her. Before she could react the criminals started to shoot at her and she was pulled behind the dumpster.
Bianca: hey!
Chris: It's me Chris, he said. What are you doing here?
Bianca: I can ask you the same question. What are you doing here, behind the dumpster?
Chris: Those guys, who were shooting at you, are humans. They are spelled and also their bullets. They have been killing Witches and any magical being they could find. So we cannot vanquish or kill them and we can't leave now, otherwise they will go kill someone else. So we have been trying to come up with a plan, to knock them all out, without getting shot.
Bianca: Well that shouldn't be that difficult. If we all shimmer and orb out and in and hit them quickly KO, then the problem should be solved, right? Besides you are needed home. Something is happened and your mother is freaking out.
Wyatt: What do you mean?
Bianca: I don't know. I came by to bring a bottle of wine to Melinda, but found your parents in the kitchen, close to a pile of blood on the floor. They were saying that something has happened and none of you were responding.
Chris: Melinda! OMG! Jake was also calling for us, but we were stuck here, so couldn't go.
Wyatt: Ok then. It is three against five. Let's kick some ass.
All three came out of their hiding place and the battle between them and the spelled criminals.
Memorial Hospital
Jake was standing by a payphone. His shirt was covered arms and hands were covered in blood. Also his shirt. He hadn't time yet to clean up.
When he arrived at the hospital, they took Melinda immediately to the surgery. Now he was trying another time to contact anybody of the family. He was pissed at Wyatt and Chris for ignoring his call for help. They could have healed her, instead of her being in surgery. The phone rang a few times, before it got answered.
Piper: Melinda? Is that you? She asked worried.
Jake: No it is me Jake.
Piper: Jake! Good. Is Melinda with you? We can't find her anywhere?
Jake: Yes she is. We are in the Memorial hospital.
Piper: Hospital? What happened? She almost screamed on the phone.
Jake: Someone shot Melinda. She is now in surgery, he said out of breath of the shock.
Piper: What? We are they soon. Don't go anywhere, you got that!
Jake: I wasn't planning to go anywhere Piper, he said irritated.
Piper: Right! Sorry about that. I am bit stressed. We will see you soon.
Manor
Wyatt and Chris orbed in and Bianca shimmered in. They called out for their parents, but nobody reacted. They walked to the kitchen and saw the blood on the floor. The kitchen smelled terrific, because Piper had been cooking.
Chris noticed a note on the refrigerator, saying that they were at the Memorial hospital. Chris looked very worried at the note as he knew that his mother had lately a lot of pain in her chest, when she was stressed.
Bianca: Well I am off. This is more a family thing I guess. So let me know if the dinner, go's on tonight and hope that all will be fine with Melinda and your mom, she said sincerely.
Chris: Are you mad. You are also a part of this family. You have been my girlfriend for years, so you are coming too. No arguments! He said firmly.
Wyatt looked at his little brother. He hadn't seen him like this before.
Memorial hospital
Piper and Leo were running to the halls of the hospital till she saw Jake sitting. She called for him and ran over to him. She looked at him as he was covered in blood.
Piper: Oh my god, what happened to you? Are you ok? She said looking down at him.
Jake saw that she was staring at the blood all over him. He looked behind Piper to see the brothers coming.
Now they were all standing around Jake and he told them what had happened. He was shaking with anger and looked for a moment to Wyatt and Chris and before anyone knew what was happening, he tried to attack them. Leo noticed it and acted quickly and held him from the back.
Jake: You bastards! I called for you, he shouted! You could have healed her! He shouted harder. If anything happens to her, I will kill you two! He shouted and started to cry.
Leo let him go and piper went to him and hugged him and he held her tightly while he cried.
Wyatt and Chris were also in tears and Leo needed to look away, otherwise he would burst into tears also.
Four hours had passed and the whole family was sitting and waiting, before finally the doctor came walking up to them. They all stood up and stood with each other to listen to what the doctor had to say.
Doctor: Well we have been able to take the bullet out of her, but there were some complications.
Leo: what kind of complications, he said his voice shaking?
Doctor: The bullet was very close to her heart and had hit some vains and muscles around the heart.
We have been able to fix it, but still it is a risky area. We have to keep her at least 48 hours, to see if all the bleeding around her heart stays stable and the wound inside her won't go open again.
If that happens, we have to operate her right away. So at this moment the following 48 hours are crucial, he said looking at the Halliwell family. I am sorry that I can bring you good news, but don't give up hope. She looks like a tough girl, he said and walked away from the family.
Nobody said anything. They were all in their own thoughts. Piper was crying. Jake was pacing around. He looked like he would burst into tears or rage any moment.
Chris was sitting with Bianca, who was holding his hand and tried not to look at him, because he was crying and she knew he hated, when people saw him crying.
Wyatt walked away from everybody and went in one of the rooms. He called out for Caroline.
She appeared immediately and the moment he saw her, he burst out in tears and she was there instantly to hold him and rub his back, to calm him down. It took him almost ten minutes, before he was calmed enough to talk again.
Wyatt: It's Melinda, he said.
Caroline: I know. I have felt your pain and then I found out about Melinda. I had no idea. I was busy helping others. Otherwise I would have come and healed her.
Wyatt: We must help her. The doctors are not sure if she is going to make it. We need to heal her! He said firmly.
Caroline: That can be problematic. Even if we heal her and she will be fine. How are you going to explain that to the doctor?
Wyatt: I don't care what the doctor would think. I cannot let my baby sister die! He shouted.
Caroline: I understand, but you have to remember, not to get exposed! Then your problems will be much worse. I would wait and see. If things are turning really bad for Melinda, then we can always use magic, but let's see if she comes out ok, from the surgery she just had. What do you say? She said holding his both hands and looking into his teary eyes.
Wyatt was still a bit reluctant about the waiting idea, but he wanted to trust Caroline and her judgment.
They walked back and Jake was gone. The doctor had come to tell that one of them could see her briefly.
Manor
Mia and Sophie were walking slowly through the Manor. Just in case if someone would appear. Even with the crystals placed all around the house and in the house, it had no effect on the Witches. They were human and the crystals were made to wear off magical beings, but never for humans.
When they were done downstairs, they went to the second floor and they checked the floor room for room. They found the room of Melinda and they started to check her closet and her drawers.
Mia found the diary under her pillow and they took it with them.
They went to the attic and walked in and found the Book of Shadows. Somehow the Book didn't protect itself, because in the end they were the good Witches of the First Order. When they were done, they left the Manor laughing.
Memorial hospital
The Halliwell family was arguing, which one of them would stay with Melinda. Jake tried to explain, that he is perfectly capable to stay with her as her boyfriend. That they should go home and rest a bit.
Piper was not planning to give in to Jake. She argued that she or one of her brothers should stay.
Jake: She is my girlfriend. I need to do this, Jake said to Piper.
Piper: And that is very sweet of you, but you can't Jake. You have no powers anymore. How are you planning to defend her, if a magical being or demon or worse those two hags of fake witches attacks you?
Jake looked like he was going to say something to her, but he stopped and let his head down. He knew he had lost and by now, he knew a little bit how Piper could be.
Wyatt: I am staying. As the eldest it is my job to take care and protect my little sister.
Both Piper and Leo looked proud at Wyatt.
Leo: It is decided then, he said, before anyone could argue the decision.
Manor
They all orbed in the Manor and they were all beat. Piper went to the kitchen and started to heat up the food, what was meant for the dinner up. They were all starving. Bianca came into the kitchen to help
with laying the table. Piper observed Bianca as she was busy with helping. Caroline came also to help and within a half hour, they were all sitting at the dinner table and having dinner.
Nobody spoke and they all ate, without speaking. All of them were with their thoughts somewhere else.
After dinner Chris orbed quickly to the hospital to bring food to Wyatt and then came back to rest. He was the next to watch over her and he wanted to be rested.
Piper: I am going to the attic to check the BOS. Maybe we can find something that can help her to get better, without the doctors getting suspicious, she said to Leo and walked upstairs.
Chris and Bianca were about to go to bed when they heard a scream coming from the attic.
All of them hurried to the attic to find Piper standing before the standard.
Piper: Where is the book? She shrieked.
Chris: What do you mean? It should be right here. Melinda has put crystals all around the house and inside the house. Look she even put it around the standard. It must be here! He said panicking.
Piper: Where is it? She demanded.
Leo: They must have taken it, while we were all in the hospital! He said thinking out loud.
Piper: Who has taken the book? Piper asked, not wanting to know the answer.
Leo: Mia and Sophie. The crystals are to protect against Demons and Warlocks. Not against humans and Witches of the First order, who are supposed to be one of the good witches. So it possible, that they have tricked the book and took it.
Piper: If I get my hands on those fake witches, I will vanquish them. Human or not!
Leo: The good thing is, that most of the spells in it, are power of three spells. So most of them, they can't even use.
Piper: I guess, she said with hesitation, wanting to believe her husband.
Chris: Mom, don't worry. Think about your heart. One family member in the hospital is enough for one day. The book has been taken before and we always have managed to get it back. We will get it back this time too. I promise.
Piper: I know, but I just can't stand it, that we are getting outsmarted by those fake Witches.
Memorial hospital
Wyatt was reading a magazine he had picked up from the waiting room. He was grateful for the food his little brother Chris had brought. He was trying to read, but was restless. He couldn't believe that the first time he ignored a call in his life, could have almost cost the life of his sister. He sat there frustrated that he had to ability to heal her and she would be ok in an instant. Instead he was sitting and watching all the machines, which were hooked up to Melinda.
Two sisters came in. Wyatt looked up surprised. It was pretty late in the night and why were there two sisters needed for a check-up. He stood up and the sisters looked surprised at him, not expecting him to be there. Wyatt felt magic coming from them. Without thinking he orbed out and orbed in right in front of the sisters and orbed out again in the park, far away from the hospital.
Park
Wyatt orbed in with the sisters and they immediately changed back into their own selves, revealing that it was Mia and Sophie.
Mia: You clever Witch. You actually think that you have protected your sister.
Sophie: As we speak, some nurse is strangling her with a pillow, while she is lying there all alone and vulnerable.
Both of them started to chant to bind him, but he beat them to it and orbed out right to the hospital.
Memorial Hospital
Wyatt just orbed in time, the nurse was indeed strangling Melinda. He hit the nurse in the back of his neck and with one move of his hand; he orbed him out of the room. He stood before the bed, ready to attack anybody, who would walk in the room.
This couldn't go on like this. If Demons would find out about Melinda, being in the hospital, things would get much more badly, then they are now. Melinda needed to be awake. They needed to kick some Witch butt.
He closed his eyes and called for Caroline. She appeared instantly. He looked at her and then to Melinda.
Caroline: Are you sure you want to do this?
Wyatt: Yes, but I will heal her myself, but I need your help with something else, actually.
Caroline: Really? Tell me.
Wyatt: I need you to make all the people, who helped out Melinda to forget? He asked looking at Caroline. Her smile faded, with that his hope that she would say yes also.
Caroline: You know I can't do that! I can't believe you actually ask me such a thing. I could be punished for it and not be an Elder anymore.
Wyatt: We can switch. You can heal her and I can make them forget.
Caroline: Wyatt Mathew Halliwell. I cannot believe you even suggest such a thing.
Wyatt: Listen to me. The witches were just here. I managed to orb them to the park. Then a nurse tried to strangle my sister. If Demons would find out, all hell would break loose. So she needs to get out of here and up and running.
Caroline: I understand, but I can't. I am truly sorry.
Wyatt: Ok, have it your way. Then I will do things my way and you and the Elders upstairs will not like it, believe me. Stay with her. I'll be right back.
Before Caroline could respond, he was gone. She turned around to look at Melinda. She sighed and felt terrible for not being able to help. She needed to stay and wait for Wyatt, so she could talks some sense into him.
Manor, Attic
Wyatt orbed into the attic, but the BOS wasn't there. He walked downstairs and searched for it, but couldn't find it. He went into the kitchen and found his mother and father sitting there, drinking coffee.
Piper: Wyatt? What are you doing here? Why aren't you with Melinda?
Wyatt: Caroline is with her. The witches attacked and tried to trick me. First they shape-shifted to this two nurses and when I orbed them to the park, they told me that they had spelled a nurse to strangle her. I orbed back to the hospital and there was a nurse, strangling her. I kicked his ass and now I am going over to plan B.
Leo: Which is? He said carefully. His son was really pissed.
Wyatt: I asked Caroline to make all the people who were involved with Melinda to forget, but she refused. So now I have to use a spell to make them forget, but can't find the BOS.
Piper and Leo exchanged a look and Wyatt noticed it.
Wyatt: What? What is going on? He asked.
Piper: Mia and Sophie have the Book of Shadows, she said annoyed by the thought.
Wyatt: WHAT! When did that happen?
Leo: While we all were at the hospital.
Wyatt: Those bitches! I am going to vanquish there sorry asses into oblivion!
He orbed out back to the hospital, without waiting for a response of his parents.
Memorial Hospital
Caroline was sitting by Melinda when Wyatt orbed in.
Caroline: Well you look pissed, so things didn't go well at home, she asked him.
Wyatt: Mia and Sophie have the Book of Shadows! He replied back.
Caroline: Oh, that's bad. You will need to Power of Three to get the book back!
She stood up looking determent and walked to the window and closed the blinds. She turned around and looked at Wyatt.
Caroline: Let's do this! She said and walked over to Melinda and started to heal her.
Melinda woke up and looked around of where she was.
Melinda: What happened? She asked a bit dull.
Wyatt: You have been shot, he said looking at her.
Melinda: Shot? Really? That's a new one.
Wyatt: Yep, she is back! He said smiling at his sister.
Caroline: You to go and get the Book of Shadows back. I will deal here with make people forget Melinda.
Melinda: Where is the book? She asked curious.
Wyatt: Long story. I will tell you on the way home.
He held Melinda and both of them orbed out. Caroline took a deep sigh and orbed out to find the ones, who treated Melinda.
Manor, kitchen
They both orbed in and made Piper almost fell of her seat.
Piper: Melinda! What are you doing here? Wyatt Mathew Halliwell! Don't tell me you have healed her?
Wyatt: Actually Caroline healed her! He said looking cocky.
Piper:Don't smartass me, I am not in the mood! Why did you do this? All those doctors and nurses! We are going to get exposed, when they found out, that Melinda is gone.
Wyatt: Well, Caroline is making them forget, as we speak.
Leo: She is? She will get punished for that! I don't think the Elders will appreciate her actions.
Wyatt: Don't worry dad, we have all worked it out. The Book of Shadows was taken and only the Power of three can get it back. So Melinda needed to wake up, so we can get the book back and save the magical world and maybe even the human world. So as you can see, it was very necessary that Melinda needed to wake up! He said proudly of his brilliant plan.
Piper: Hmm. It seems that you have done well! She said looking at her son.
Melinda: Oh crap! Didn't we suppose to have a dinner tonight? She said looking around in the kitchen.
Piper: Sorry honey. We have used the food, as we were starving. You can imagine, that I cannot serve hospital food to my family, she said smirking! They all laughed.
Melinda: Well, I don't know about you guys, but I believe we have a lot of work to do.
Wyatt: I am beat. I am going sleep first? He asked looking tired.
Melinda: Sure. Why not? I mean, there are only a bunch of criminals walking around, killing magical beings and Witches. We missed a very important dinner. Then we have two crazy Witches, who has our Book of Shadows and are trying to destroy us. But no worries, we have all the time to take a nap. So go ahead. See you later, she said looking like only she could at her brother.
Wyatt: Fine. You win! What do you need me to do?
