MELINDA
RAW POWER
EPISODE 9
Battle of the Witches
Famke was getting angrier by the minute. One hour was left before the battle and she noticed instantly that there were less witches then a few hours before.
Famke: Jay! Where are all the witches? We need to take positions, in case they decide to make a surprise attack.
Jay run around through the field asking witches what was going on? After a few minutes she came back not looking happy at all.
Jay: we might have a slight problem. It seems that at least a hundred of witches have left. Some went home as this is not their battle and they are afraid of dying for a cause which is not theirs. They don't feel like using their magic openly. Others are gone but will return if all goes well on time. They are putting spells around the perimeter to make sure that trees and animals will not be hurt when the battle will take place, in case things get very intense, but they have been gone for a while now and others are thinking that they will not return too. Also I feel like most witches actually don't want the fight. They were curious and naïve and thinking to go home. They are all scared for the Charmed Ones an especially Melinda. They don't want to die.
Famke: I am not happy. I am not happy at all. Leave us. I need to talk to my daughters. Find them all and make sure they come to the tent.
She turned around and walked again into her tent.
Manor, Attic
The attic was full with magical creates and the gang. With extra family members to help, it became very crowded.
Everybody was talking while Melinda and her brothers were standing behind the Book of shadows looking around at everybody. They had just told the plan to all leaders of the magical community. Dwarfs, elf's, ogres, leprechauns, name it.
Melinda had her hand against her head and was fighting a migraine. So much noise in such a small area, it drove her crazy. Suddenly she whistled very loudly, making everybody look at her and be quite.
Melinda: Finally. Sorry, but you were making a lot of noise, I couldn't hear myself thing anymore. Listen, it is very simple. Or you are in or you are not. Decide now as we are running out of time and options. We need to know now who is with us, so we can start planning an attack strategy. Well? She asked looking around. If you are with us, raise your hand. If you not, then go please.
Everybody looked around at each other and slowly they all started to raise their hands. Nobody left and said anything.
Melinda couldn't help to smile and look around thankful.
Melinda: Thank you all for your help. This means a lot to us and will certainly not be forgotten. Ok, let's start with the planning.
Henry: Euhm Melinda. Maybe you should look outside for a moment. Paige was standing next to him together with Phoebe and Coop. They turned around and looked outside with open mouth.
Melinda and her brothers walked also to the window and looked outside. Melinda recognized immediately two daughters of Famke and they were with a huge group of witches.
Phoebe: Oh my god. They brought the fight here. We are not ready.
Wyatt: No, that is not true. They are not here to fight, but here to help. I can sense the need to help us coming from the whole group.
Melinda/Phoebe: I sense it too.
They looked at each other smiling.
Melinda: Ok, everybody wait here. Me and my brothers will go down to see what they want.
Wyatt: grabbed his sister and nodded to Chris and they orbed outside the manor. Just at the edge of their shield. On the other edge were standing Jennifer and Eliza.
Jennifer: Hi there, she said chipper.
Eliza: Don't mind her. She is always good and optimistic. We are here to help with the battle, she said getting straight to the point.
Melinda: Why? What changed? How can we be sure that this is not a trick?
Jennifer: Because we think that what is about to happen, is not right. The only reason we are fighting is that my mother can become more powerful by sucking yours, but that's not all. She will fight you as last, because by then she will be able to suck all the powers of all the dead witches around her, till she has so many powers, that she will become unstoppable. If that happens, then I am afraid the world awaits a hell they have never experienced before. Do you want people to live in fear of magic? All those witches are afraid to fight. They don't want to die, but they understand if they have to fight for what they are, then they rather do it being good and fight on the right side.
Chris: What about your mother? She will not be happy about this.
Eliza: Well, she thinks they all went home, because that is the story we have decided to tell the stayers, just the bigger the surprise when we face them. That will shock them and make them scared and confused, which gives a way in to attack and stop them before it even really begins. This way, our mother will not have the time to suck all that energy, as she has to actually touch the person to do it and say some ancient words, which takes time. Not long, but at least a half minute or so.
Melinda: One moment, she said to the sisters and pulled her brothers up the stairs.
Wyatt: What do you think? Can we trust them, because if we do, then we will have a hell of an army against the remaining few witches.
Melinda: What did you sense from them? I didn't sense that they were lying.
Wyatt: Me neither.
Melinda: Can you orb Aunt Phoebe here, just to make sure. Three telepaths should confirm it, right?
Wyatt: Ok. He waved with his hand and Phoebe appeared in orbs.
Phoebe: Hey! You could have just called for me, you know. I don't orb that much anymore, she said grumpy. So, what do you think of those two?
Chris: That's why you are here auntie. These two so called telepaths cannot figure out if they can really trust them, so they need you to do a scan, he said sarcastically.
Wyatt and Melinda gave him a look, which made Chris smile brightly.
Phoebe walked over to the sisters and looked at them and they looked back without saying anything. Then Phoebe turned around and put up a dumb to give her ok.
The Charmed Ones, came downstairs the stairs again and stood now by Phoebe looking at Jennifer and Eliza.
Melinda: Ok, we believe you. Sorry, but we had to be sure. You can all come into our shield, but not in the house, except for you two. The house is already full with magical creatures, we don't have space for an army of witches.
Jennifer: No, problem. We have a witch, who can create normal tents, but when you go in it, it is huge from the inside. We can all stay in the front garden or back, whatever you please. Thank you for believing us.
Melinda: Of course. Chris can you bring down the shield please.
Chris did as he was told and the witches started to walk in the shield. The witch started immediately with creating tents for everybody.
Jennifer and Eliza were now also in the attic and everybody was staring at them.
Jennifer: Oh, before I forget and we go in battle. There is a very old witch, who will not battle with us, but she was desperate to come here and meet you. She really wanted to speak with you, but I don't know why.
Melinda: If you show her to me, then I will go talk to her in a minute. In meantime we need all the info we can get from you two, so we can change the plans quickly as we have now lesser witches to worry about. We have still a half hour.
The sisters nodded and Jennifer first pointed the old woman to her and then went to the attic again to help the rest.
Melinda walked outside and everybody looked at her in awe, making her a bit shy. She found the old woman and sat down with her. The eyes of the old woman became huge when she saw Melinda sitting next to her.
Granny: You are here. You are actually here. I completed my mission.
Melinda: What mission? She asked curious.
Granny: I am Granny. I have known all my life about the coming of the Charmed Ones. I have the powers of a seer. I have seen battles before they happened with the previous Charmed Ones, but I always saw also that they won. Then I saw you and your brothers. I have seen the battles you have to deal with. If you think that defeating all Demons and Famke is the last of it, then you are wrong. A few more big battles await you, before you can finally live the life you so desperately want with your husband and family. So, therefore I have created powerful spells. I believe this spells will not appear on your book, don't know why, but I just do. Therefore I wrote them down. I have also specialized in creating shields and I have created some powerful ones with different effects, depending on what your purpose is. I came here to give you this book, she said and pulled it under her blanket. It was a thick white book.
She handed it to Melinda with proud.
Melinda looked at it and looked through it. Read some spells and looked impressed.
Melinda: Thank you so much for this. This will definitely help us in the future. I am really grateful for your efforts.
Granny: No problem my child. One more thing before you leave. Don't forget what your ancestor Melinda Warren told Eva. You are magic. You will do great things. Never forget that, while you battle tonight.
Melinda: How did you know that I have seen my ancestors?
Granny: Didn't I say I was a seer, she said smiling. I saw what you saw, don't ask me why? So, I knew that I had to come here en give you the book. Those spells are very very powerful and not too mess around with. I gathered them from very powerful witches throughout time.
Melinda: I cannot thank you enough and I would love to stay and talk, but I have a battle to get ready for. We will talk afterwards.
Granny looked deeply in the eyes of Melinda and nodded smiling.
Melinda went inside and run upstairs. She showed the book to everyone and Chris immediately started to read it, to find some kind spell or anything that could help them.
Jackie: Do you need me to do anything?
Melinda looked for a split second to Jake, who was listening to what they were saying.
Melinda: Yes and no. You cannot come to the fight with us, because Jake would not aloud it, but you can help by helping the leftovers outside and I hate to say it, but if we don't return, you need to call for all our family members, till the book shows who is next in line to become the Charmed Ones. We cannot lose time and let Famke get the book, if she manages to go through us all.
Jackie: But the book would not let me touch it.
Melinda: The book will know that you are protecting it if there would be an attack. It will let you hold it, don't worry. Hopefully it will not come to that, she said smiling.
Then she turned around at the group.
Melinda: It is time. We have to gather everybody and go.
Chris: Wait. I think I found a way to defeat Famke and her witches.
Police station
Officer: Hey Nathan, did you hear? News stations are going wild.
Nathan: Why?
Officer: Check the news man. There are helicopters all over the place around the woods. It looks that there will be standoff with those freaks tonight. Let's hope they all kill each other, so we can get rid of them at once, right?
Nathan: Right, he said smiling. Excuse me, there is something I have to do?
He got up and walked away from everybody. Quickly he grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the Charmed Ones.
Nobody answered. He heard noises and walked back inside. The chief was calling everybody together.
Chief: We have just received confirmation that there will be a fight tonight. The fight will supposedly be between good and evil witches. The so called Charmed Ones will go up against those witches. I have here a letter coming directly from the White House with the signature of the President. We have a shoot to kill go. He wants us to take out any witch we can, with whatever force we need to do it.
Cops all cheered. They would finally get their city back from those freaks.
Nathan looked more worried than before. He had to get a hold of Melinda and warn her about this, before she would go into battle.
Woods, Midnight
Famke had conjured a queen like chair for her and sat at the end of one side. In front of her were hundreds of witches, waiting for the fight to come. Next to her were standing Alyson and Rachel. Famke looked at them and was not pleased. She couldn't believe her two do gooder daughters had betrayed her, right before maybe the battle of her life. They needed to be here, to protect her and die for her if needed. But Famke was not worried. After she had killed of Melinda and take over her powers, the first thing she would do if her daughters still would be alive, kill them both. Slowly and painfully.
She looked at her watch and already three minutes had past midnight. She was getting angrier by the second. She could not believe that the Charmed Ones stood her up. Maybe this was a trick and they would wait longer till everybody would think that they were not coming and attack them then.
Suddenly on the other side of the shield orbs appeared and Melinda with her brothers appeared.
Famke: You are late! She said bored, but actually she was angry. Nobody let her wait. Ever!
Melinda: Yeah, sorry about that. We got a phone call which was urgent and took longer than we thought, she said casually.
Famke: Well, you are here now. Ready to die? Famke asked amused.
Melinda: If this is all the witches you got, then I think my chances are good. Why don't you tell them the truth, or are you too coward for that?
Famke: What truth? She asked curious.
Jay: She is playing you and is up to something. We should attack now, she whispered.
Famke held her hand and watched Melinda carefully.
Famke: Well, what truth?
Melinda: Oh, the one where you neglected to tell these innocent witches your big plan. The one where you let them fight us first, so you can take all the magical energy of the witches who died. Till I reach you, you will have sucked so much energy that you will become unstoppable.
Then she turned to the witches.
Melinda: Do you really want to die tonight? Ask yourself that, because there is a huge chance it will happen. You will lose tonight, no matter how long and how painful it will all become, it will happen. Do you really want your spirit and your magic to go into her? So she can become so bad and rule the world and make humans slaves. Is that the rule of three we all obey? The Witches Rite we obey? Has magic done you so wrong, that you need to fight? Is it so important that you can use your magic freely, even if people will be afraid for you?
Famke: Enough of this. Did you come here to fight or talk?
Melinda: I came here to talk some senses into these witches, before they fall for something which is not even their fight. It is what you want to happen. You want them dead. This way you can have their magic, till you have gathered enough to go up against me. I have seen your past. I have seen how you killed your parents and sucked their energy. How from that moment you became obsessed with finding powerful beings and then take their energy? How old are you actually? Hundred fifty or so. Sucking magic seems to do you good.
Famke: I said enough! Attack them now! She shouted.
Nobody moved. Some witches suddenly walked over towards Melinda and stood next to them. Suddenly a dozen other witches started to do the same. Even if other witches were trying to stop them.
Famke: Where the hell do you all think you are going?
Witch: If I am going to die tonight, I want to die for good and not evil.
Famke: Fine, you made your choice. I still have enough witches to defeat all of you.
Wyatt: Do you now?
Suddenly all over the place orbs appeared and all the witches and the daughters appeared around the whole perimeter. Then hundreds of cupids and whitelighters appeared. If that was not enough, all magical leaders had brought as many as they could. Students from Magic School appeared.
Famke and the witches were surrounded.
Chris: Are you witches still sure that you want to fight all of us? This is your last chance to come to our side or meet your Goddess tonight.
Again, some witches came towards them.
Alyson: Enough of this nonsense.
Without waiting, she launched an electric wave towards Melinda.
Melinda transformed instantly and held her hand up, grabbing the wave and with a simple move of her hand, she send the wave back, but much faster than Alyson did and Alyson was blown backwards.
Famke: Alyson! She shouted. KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! She yelled.
Right at that moment, Chris Casey and Dash shouted: SO MOTE IT BE!
Instantly all the good witches were surrounded with light and had a shield around them. The bad witches ran all over the place and started to attack randomly. Quickly they noticed that they couldn't harm anyone, but the good witches were attacking back and left and right were bad witches been killed. Melinda didn't fight. She stood perfectly still between all the witches attacking each other. Fire ball, energy balls, waves of energy, weapons. It all seemed to fly past her. She saw her Aunt Phoebe standing back to back with her mother Piper, fending off attacks. She saw her husband, teleport witches in and out right before a good witch, so they could attack the bad one. Still she had only eyes for three witches, Famke, Alyson and Rachel.
Famke was watching her too. Melinda smiled and looked at her, still transformed. She stood perfectly still and it felt like she could feel everything. Every magic that was used. Everyone strength and weakness. She felt weird, but in a good way. She felt stronger. Like her raw power was growing from the inside.
Famke: Look at your sisters fighting for the good. I can't stand it. Kill them Alyson.
Rachel: No mother. It is in their nature. You can't blame them for being good.
Famke: They are with me or against me. If you don't like it, you can join their fate too! Now make yourself useful. Drag some of the bodies towards me, so i can suck their energy.
Rachel tried to move, but couldn't. She looked with big eyes at her mother, who looked from Rachel to Melinda.
Melinda was holding her hand up and then slowly she started to close her hand, making Rachel scream out in pain.
Famke started to whisper some words, to counter the attack, but couldn't. The strength she had taken from Jackie was strong, but not strong enough to sub stain that long inside her. She needed new energy.
Rachel was still screaming, till Melinda released her.
'Don't even think about taking energy of any witch,' all three witches heard in their heads. They looked at Melinda who was standing on the other side transformed and looked at them intensely.
Alyson: How is she doing that?
Famke: I don't know. Something has changed within her. How did she know about my parents?
Rachel: I don't know, but I think we are not going to win this battle mother. Maybe it is wise to take our leave now we still can.
Famke: No! I am not leaving without her magic.
Famke stood straight and looked at Melinda. Slowly she walked over towards Melinda. Witches who were standing in her way, she moved away with a wave of her hand. It didn't matter if they were good or bad. It took a minute or two, but finally she reached Melinda and was facing her for a meter or so.
Famke: I have to say, I am very impressed. It has been a while that I had to battle a witch myself.
Melinda: There will not be a fight, she said calmly. This ends now.
Famke: So, you are going to kill me? I thought you didn't kill humans.
Melinda: Look around you. Look what you have done and for what. To steal magic and be more powerful! When will it be enough Famke? Till there is nothing left and you are all alone with all your powers.
Slowly it became more silent around them and Famke looked around to see that almost everybody had stopped fighting and was watching what was going on between Famke and Melinda. Alyson and Rachel stood now not far from their mother. A few people left of them were standing their sisters Jennifer en Eliza. Jennifer looked tired of fighting and Eliza was covered in blood as her sword.
Famke: Don't you ever get tired of that? Trying to be so good. Trying to save everyone. Trying to talk sense into your enemies?
Melinda: Actually not. It gives me actually more strength. You want to see? She asked smiling and pulled her hands back and then forward again, creating a huge wind and it went directly towards Famke.
Famke, held her hands in front of her and stood her ground, but it was not enough. She flew right in front of the feet of her daughters Jennifer an Eliza. She looked up and saw them smiling down at her.
She got angry and stood up. She pulled her long black hair straight and walked again towards Melinda.
Melinda: Give it up Famke. Your witches are almost defeated and soon your two daughters will die and finally yourself. Don't make it more embarrassing for yourself then you already have.
Famke: ENOUGH! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! She screamed.
Melinda: Did I hit a nerve?
That moment a bright light shone through the whole circle and all the good, had lost their temporary shield which they had.
Famke started to laugh hard.
Famke: Looks like your plan is failing. Your helpers lost their protection. Now they will be an easy target for my witches to kill them.
Melinda: You are wrong again. We knew the spell was for a short time. Just enough to make sure we put the most powerful witches you have down. The rest are just easy picks for my team. So, no matter what you try, you will not win. So, give it up Famke. Return to the hole you came out from, before I am forced to do it myself.
Famke: you little brat. You filthy witch. You think you can talk to an Old One like that.
Melinda: Lady, we have dealt with the Source of Evil, Demons, Avatars, Ancients and many more and we defeated them all. Do you really think because you are an Old One, that we should be afraid?
Famke whispered some words and waved with her hand sending some dust towards her. Melinda watched it and had no idea what kind of attack this was. The dust started to surround her, making Famke smile.
Famke: All this big talk, let's see what happens when the smoke take your Goddess powers and leave you as an ordinary witch. You didn't count on that did you? I have spells to my disposal that were created long before the Charmed Ones were even born.
Melinda looked around her in her shield and she was surrounded by the dust. She felt that it was sucking her magical raw power.
She closed her eyes and thought of all the knowledge she had inside of her.
Melinda W: Don't be afraid my child. Remember you are magic. There is no spell that can harm you. Overload it with all your power. Don't worry you have plenty. Blessed be my sweetheart. I am so proud of you.
Melinda opened her eyes and she knew what she had to do. She spread her arms wide and closed her eyes again. She focused on her power and increased her energy as much as she could.
Famke was still laughing and everybody was looking intensely at Melinda. Suddenly Famke stopped laughing and looked surprised at the dust. The red dust started to change and it became white and very bright. With a burst the light went very bright and you could hear Melinda scream out. The dust was disappeared and Melinda was standing tall.
Piper and her family looked at her and could see instantly that something had changed in Melinda. Even her appearance had changed. Normally she was completely white and was it windy around her. Now she still had her own look, but she was constantly glowing with white light around her. Each glow was so powerful, that everybody could feel it. She was still in Goddess mode, but was ascended to something higher than that, to the next level.
Dash looked at her with tears in his eyes. She was so beautiful. He was so proud of her and was proud that he was her husband.
Famke whispered some raw words and send them towards Melinda.
Melinda lifted her fingers and stopped the spell in midair. She slowly walked towards it and waved with her hand so everybody could see the energy.
Melinda: Funny how spells work doesn't it, she said and her voice was like iron and powerful. We say some words and suddenly things happen, but we never see how it happens. Well, here you have it. Your spell, which is simply energy. It looks like it cannot be seen, but as you see it is.
She waved again with her hand and the spell disappeared slowly.
Famke started to whisper other words, but Melinda held her hand up, making Famke freeze in her movements. Her body was tight and felt like it was going to be ripped apart.
Alyson send out a wave of darkness so fast, that it hit Melinda. She smiled that her attack worked.
Melinda waved the darkness away, like she was waving away an annoying fly. Alyson looked at her with big eyes. Melinda looked at her for a moment, but turned back to Famke, who was still tight and frozen on her place.
Famke: You can kill me, but we are with many. They will never stop revenging me.
Melinda: That is fine. Let them come and let this be a warning for your daughters. If they try to come after me or any family member, even any of the magical community, then them await the same fate as it awaits you right now.
Famke: Kill me and get it over with.
Melinda: Killing is not in my nature. I kill if I have really no other choice or if something hurts my loved ones. For you I have a much better solution. One you cannot come back from.
She walked towards Famke and started to make magical sigil signs in the air.
Famke recognized what the sigils meant and looked horrified.
Famke: What are you doing? She asked now clearly afraid. Stop doing that.
Melinda: An die alliagh, An di ne ullah be nit rah, Cairl feal to theo nith rah!
Famke: No, stop it. NO! Please. Alyson, my daughters help me! Anybody, please help me.
Melinda: An die allaigh, An di aigh, an di ullah be nit rah. With the power of the Goddess I bind you Famke the Old One. No more will you taste the power of the Goddess. No more will you know how it is to use magic. No more shall you be called the Old One. From this day forth...
Rachel: NO! MELINDA! PLEASE! MOTHER, she cried out.
Alyson looked like she was about to explode, but did not dear to attack Melinda in this state. Melinda was way too powerful and she had no dead wish like her mother had.
Melinda: From this day forth, you will be Famke the human.
Melinda looked at the crying Famke and then she levitated slowly into the air so she was now facing Famke. She lifted her right hand and touched the forehand of Famke.
Melinda: Goddess take her powers and free the souls she has kept captive all this time. Famke, hereby you are bound not to me but the Goddess of earth. So mote it be!
White light came out of Melinda's hand and Famke screamed out in pain. Souls started to come out of her body and everybody watched in horror at the scene. With every soul that came out of Famke, she seemed to age a bit. After a few minutes she was done and she let go of Famke. First Melinda levitated to the floor and then she slowly released Famke, so she fell to the floor softly.
Melinda looked at Famke, who was crying and looking at the floor.
Famke suddenly looked up fiercely and shot some disgusting words towards Melinda, but nothing happened. She looked confused to her hand and then at Melinda. She started to cry more.
Slowly Eliza, Jennifer and Rachel came towards her. Melinda backed away from them and closed her eyes. She then turned back to herself.
The three daughters were crying together with their mother and were telling her that everything will be fine.
Melinda: For the remaining army of Famke, I strongly advise you to leave in peace before you get the same fate as your leader. We have not received these powers for fun. We have received them for a reason. All off you have your powers for a reason. Maybe you know the reason or still searching, but believe that the Goddess didn't chose randomly. You are all special in your own way. I am sorry for today. We lost a lot of witches. Let's not lose more. Go home and live your lives as you were. I really don't want to find out that you are abusing your powers and I have to come and perform this ritual again. As I am telling you I will. From now on, we will not vanquish witches, but strip them from their powers when they abuse them, so they cannot hurt anyone ever again and will have to live with the guilt of what they have done and losing their powers. Also, I want to point out that this place is the home of the witch called Jackie. I am asking you all never to come back here and leave her alone too. Now go in peace and rethink what you have done here tonight and how you want to move on from this moment forward.
The army of Famke slowly started to leave. Casey and Caroline were making sure that they were also actually leaving and not stay to lurk around.
Melinda thanked the leaders of the magical community and they left too. Now just the family was over and some witches that still needed to leave.
Melinda: Thank you Jennifer and Eliza for all your help. I am sorry that it has ended the way it did. Take care of her, she will be confused and depressed of what has happened. She will need a lot of time to adjust to her new situation. If you are again in San Francisco, come by for a cup of tea or something, she said smiling. Both woman nodded at her and then lifted their mother to leave again.
Rachel: Where is Alyson? She asked looking around.
Wyatt and Chris screamed out in pain. Everybody looked their way and saw Alyson standing behind the boys and had her hands in their backs. She was crackling with electricity. And her eyes looked blacker than ever. She had a devilish smile on her face.
Rachel: NO ALYSON! Don't do it!
Piper: You leave my sons alone! She shouted and flickered with her hands. Alyson was thrown away.
She quickly recovered and smiled brightly before disappearing in the same kind of purple smoke Jackie did.
Melinda grabbed Rachel hard by the arm.
Melinda: What the hell did she do to my brothers?
Chris and Wyatt were bend over and coughing loudly, with their wives next to them looking worried.
Rachel smiled brightly.
Rachel: She filled their heart with Darkness. This was plan B of my mothers, she said smiling. If we cannot kill you then we destroy you even in a worst way. Say goodbye to the Charmed Ones, she said and disappeared also in purple smoke together with her sisters and mother.
Melinda walked over to her brothers. They stopped coughing and stood up again straight.
Melinda: Are you two ok? She asked worried.
Wyatt smiled at her with a very strange look in his face. Chris did the same.
Without any warning Wyatt tried to blast his energy wave at Melinda, when both of them were frozen. Piper had already figured out what was going on and was already ready to attack her sons if needed.
Melinda: What the hell is going on? How can they be frozen?
Phoebe: Because they are not your brothers anymore. They are touched by the evil that Alyson carries inside her and has affected them making them evil.
Melinda: Oh, you got to be kidding me. Don't we ever get a freaking moment to breathe? So now what? Do we use a spell or something to change them back?
Coop: I am afraid that is more complicated than said. You see, she has darkened not only their hearts but also their soul. There is almost no turning back from that. Only a miracle can change them back.
Piper: There must be something we can do? This is not the first time that one of us turned evil. We have always been able to turn it back. I think if we kill Alyson then this will stop too.
Coop: I doubt it. The only way they can be themselves again, is if they want it. They must choose for good themselves, without anybody to be able to help them.
Melinda: NO! I will not accept that. We all know what happened in the past. We all know how the future had could have been, if my parents and aunts and even Chris did make sure he turned out ok. With all that power cooped inside him, he can do terrible things. I cannot fight my brothers. I just can't.
Dash stood next to her and put his arm around her for support. Melinda took a deep breath and looked at her brothers.
Melinda: Ok, let's put them in the room, so they are powerless. Good or bad. Then we go after Alyson and make her change this or else we are forced to vanquish her in the hope it will reverse her magic.
First we need to go home. There are still a dozen witches in front of our house, who were not able to fight. Then I need a night of sleep, before I am ready to deal with my brothers. Let's go to Magic School first to drop them and then go home. I am starving and want a hot shower, before I go to bed.
Dash: Well, you certainly deserved it love, he said smiling proudly at her.
The family orbed out and after all the witches were send home thanks to Caroline and some whitelighters, Piper said goodbye to her sisters.
Piper: It was fun to fight side by side, like the old ways, she said smiling at her sisters.
Phoebe: it was great, wasn't? Still I am glad to return to my family and columns, she said smiling.
Paige: I am so proud of Melinda. She has come so far and she is so powerful. It just great to see.
Piper: She is something special indeed, she said proudly too.
The sisters hugged each other and then the rest of the family left too.
Piper went towards the kitchen where Melinda and Dash were sitting. Casey and Caroline were there too and looked very bumped.
Piper: Ok guys, I know we have to fix Wyatt and Chris somehow, but at least we can say that tonight we won. Good overcame evil. Even if it did not ended the way it supposed to be, I am proud of all of you. You all did good.
Piper walked towards Melinda and looked her deeply in her eyes. Then she started to tear up and Melinda started to cry too. The two women hugged each other.
Piper: I am so so proud of you. I love you sweetheart. You did good tonight. Remember that. We will save your brothers. This is not how the Charmed Ones end. I promise you.
She wiped the tears of Melinda's face and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
Piper: Sleep tight everybody.
Piper and Leo left.
Casey: I am going to bed. I think we all should. We are going to need our strength if we are going up against our own husbands and in your case your brothers, she said.
Melinda nodded and they locked the house and went all to bed.
Melinda's room
Dash: What happened tonight? You looked different. You did different stuff then you normally do.
Melinda: I think I ascended to a higher power. When I was in that dust, Melinda Warren spoke to me and made me realize the power I actually have in me. I always thought that I had already reached the max of my raw powers, but it seems I have much more in me then I knew. Somehow in that moment it came out.
Dash: Well whatever it was, you looked so beautiful and very hot to be said, he said ginning.
Melinda: Ha-ha. Don't even think about it. I am too tired right now and I am worried sick about Wyatt and Chris. What if we can't find a way to bring them back from the darkness, what then? She asked Dash.
Dash looked at Melinda, not knowing what to say. Instead he hugged her, so she couldn't see that he was very worried too.
All they could do now was hope that they would find a way otherwise it would mean the end of the Charmed Ones for good.
