Dun dun dun! Oh Mel, oh Blake, what did you two do? Ha Ha, I probably should have put a warning at the begining of that last chapter, but I figured it was nothing worse than what was on the show. Anyway, how you all are liking the story so far. Let's keep it moving shall we.
Peyton woke up the next morning and stretched. She yawned and then rolled over to find Mel was gone. Peyton crawled out of her sleeping bag and walked outside.
"Morning Peyton" H.J. said as he saw her get out of the tent.
"Hey H.J. have you seen Mel?" she asked walking up to him.
"No not yet but Parker and Hope went down to the lake, she might be with them" he stated.
"Oh ok, I'll check there" she said walking towards the water.
Hope and Parker were walking on the edge of the water and gently digging in the sand with their toes.
"Hey guys, have you seen Mel, she wasn't in the tent when I got up" Peyton asked approaching them.
"I haven't seen her yet this morning, but Faith and Portia were up and gone before we were up too so she might be with them" Hope explained.
"Oh well then, I think I'll go get dressed and maybe they will be back soon" Peyton said as she walked back towards the campsite. Something did not feel right about this. Peyton got back into her tent and sat down. She closed her eyes and started sensing for her cousin. A second later Peyton's eyes shot open.
"Why can't I sense her?" she asked herself.
"Who are you trying to sense?" Portia asked unzipping the tent and climbing in.
"Mel, I woke up this morning and she was gone" Peyton explained.
"Maybe she just went to meet somebody" Portia shrugged.
"Who would she be meeting?" Peyton asked eyeing her sister suspiciously
"No idea, got to find Faith" she exclaimed as she abruptly turned around a walked out.
Peyton stood up and followed her youngest sister as she walked over to Faith.
"Alright, what did you two do?" she asked eyeing the two girls.
"What makes you think we did anything?" Portia replied.
"Because the only two people in this family who can lie are Mel and Chris, now what did you do?" she repeated.
"I slipped Mel a love potion" Portia admitted "but not a full one, I only gave her enough to really amplify her emotions."
"When?" Peyton asked.
"When I made her that sm'ore last night" Portia admitted sheepishly.
"Wait what? I slipped one into her margarita glass last night!" Faith exclaimed.
"Hold on a second, you two gave Mel a double dose of a pheromone enhanced emotional amplifier only a few hours apart? Do you know what that can do!" Peyton all but screamed.
"No" Faith stated simply.
"Portia" Peyton said looking at her sister.
"What, it can't do that much damage" Portia stated.
"Yes it can, Mel no longer is in control of what her emotions want. She only realized she loves Blake yesterday, now those emotions are going to be pushed to the front of her mind and amplified. This could cause serious trouble, and what happens when it wears off?" Peyton explained.
"We need to find her. Look I'll tell the guys without telling them too much. You two are so in it big this time. Get Parker and Hope, it's time to blow this pop stand" Peyton said as she went to talk to the males of the family.
Portia and Faith went down to the water to get Hope and Parker.
"Guys we've got to go" Peyton said walking up to the boys.
"Why?" Chris asked.
"Look I don't have the details, but Mel is gone and while I can guarantee it's not a depression thing, we need to find her quickly" Peyton explained.
"Sense for her" H.J. said.
"I tried I can't find her" Peyton explained.
"You don't think she went to the underworld do you?" Wyatt asked worried.
"No she wouldn't have done something like that, we just need to get back to town and start looking for her" Peyton tried to explain without saying too much.
"What aren't you telling us Peyton?" Chris asked suspiciously.
"A lot Chris, but now is not the time, lets pack up and move out" Peyton said as she started walking towards her sisters and cousins.
Wyatt looked at the campsite, then looked around to make sure nobody was around. Using his powers all the things were packed up and loaded into the truck in an instant.
"First off personal gain, second off I thought we weren't going to use magic on this camping trip" Chris scolded him.
"Answer one, I'm not worried about personal gain when I have to search for my sister, answer two, we weren't using magic because of Mel and she isn't here so there" Wyatt said, sticking his tongue out to drive his point home.
"Ready to go" Wyatt shouted at the girls.
"You guys drive into town, check any of Mel's hang outs on the way" Peyton said as Hope got into her brother's vehicle and Parker got into Wyatt's pick up. "Faith, Portia and I will go directly to the attic. Peyton said and hearted away, Faith and Portia follow close behind.
"I just can't believe you two, we need to find her" Peyton said as she got out scrying materials.
"What should we do?" Faith asked.
"You two are going to start making a potion to counter-act your little love pill" Peyton said as she started unfolding the map.
"Peyton you are freaking out over nothing, just chill out and let nature run its course" Portia replied.
"Portia you don't get it. Once this pill wears off, Mel's feelings for Blake might disappear all-together. She will never feel for him what she feels now, you may have ruined their relationship before it even began!" Peyton exclaimed.
"Then why do we want to make a 'cure' for it?" Faith asked.
"Because the shorter the amount of time she is under the spell the better chance her emotions have of remaining there for Blake" Peyton explained.
"Look, she has to be with Blake, why doesn't one of us just pop over there and check the place out" Portia said.
"I'll go you two stay working on the potion" Peyton said as she hearted out.
Peyton appeared in the boys' apartment. "Blake?" she called. "Blake, are you here?" she said as she started walking down the hallway. Peyton passed the bathroom in the hallway which was Blake's. She heard the water running, and people talking. She figured one of the voices was Blake's because it was his bathroom, but wasn't sure of the other one she just hoped it was Mel, and hoped both of them could forgive her for what she was about to do.
"Blake!" Peyton said as she opened up the door into the steamy bathroom.
"Peyton?" Blake said in surprise as he poked his head out of the shower curtain. "What are you doing in here?" he said with a little bit of anger.
"I'm looking for Mel and since I heard voices in here I'm really hoping she is in there with you… and I can't believe I am saying that" Peyton said with slight disgust.
Blake took a sideways glance at Mel so Peyton wouldn't notice. Mel was standing in the shower shaking her head to tell Blake not to say anything to Peyton.
"Why would Mel be here with me? Especially in the shower, I mean that would imply something, you know. I was just talking to myself. Going over scripting for a commercial we have to shoot this week" Blake said calmly. He didn't like lying especially to the Halliwells but Mel didn't want him to say anything.
"Prove it" Peyton said crossing her arms.
"Um, what?" Blake questioned.
"Pull back the shower curtain" Peyton replied.
"I would but I'm sort of naked on the other side here" Blake responded.
Peyton grabbed a towel and threw it at him. Blake was panicking on the inside, they were busted for sure.
Almost as fast as Blake wrapped the towel around himself Peyton pulled back the shower curtain, to find nothing there. Blake looked over and was just as surprised as Peyton was disappointed. He didn't see any orbs or hearts, and Peyton would for sure have noticed those.
"Uh see, I told you. Just me in here" Blake said trying to sound nonchalant.
"Well if you see Mel please let us know, and as a precaution don't let her see you first maybe" Peyton said.
"Okay, why?" Blake said, obviously he had already seen Mel.
"It's a long story but basically my sister and cousin did something stupid and now I have to fix it, but we will save the day. Please let us know if you see her" Peyton said as she left the apartment and went back to the attic.
"What was that all about?" Mel asked as she became visible again.
Blake jumped back startled. "So that's what you did" he said with a grin.
"Well yea, couldn't let her know I was in here. I just want to have some fun just you and me first. It's sort of exciting sneaking around." She said playfully as she walked her fingers up his bare chest.
"Yea, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to tell Chris and Wyatt. I'm nervous about how they're going to react" Blake said honestly.
"They're my brothers and while they might be upset at first, I know they really aren't going to do anything stupid. Just a couple of days of sneaking around will be fun." Mel said seductively.
"Well when you say it like that" Blake said as his arms went around her waist "how can I argue" he said as he kissed her.
"So what do you think Peyton meant by all of that?" Mel asked pulling away from the kiss.
"Not sure, but I'm glad she didn't stick around long" Blake said in between kisses on Mel's collar bone.
"Mmm me too" Mel said with a giggle as she tilted her head to the side to allow Blake access to her neck.
Gosh I just find those two so cute, sigh. Anyway, time for you to leave a review. - Thanks
