Charlie almost toppled backword as something came running out of the kitchen and slammed in to him. His first instinct was to yell at whoever had just run into him until he saw it was his girlfriend Melinda.
"Oh, its you Mel." he said smiling his anger melting away. But his smile too melted away when he saw the look on her face.
"What's the matter? Are you okay?" he asked becoming serious.
He led her over to the first couple steps and sat down, keeping his arms wrapped around her as he waited for her to answer.

Melinda was shaking at this point and she couldn't keep her hands from trembling. She felt like her mind was out of control. She could see it so visibly and even hear it. Why did she go back in there? She hadn't been in there since then. She had almost forgotten. Her mind had temporarily left her from the grief at the funeral but now it snapped back hard when she set foot in that place.
Melinda still didn't look up to see who it was. She was scared, it felt like she was reliving the whole nightmare over again. “Get off me! Get off me!” Melinda screamed, pounding Charlie in the chest with her fist as tears rolled down her face. Thinking he was a demon. Which he was, but not the sort she was thinking. She wasn't even stuck in the present at the moment. She was stuck in the past as the horrible memories took over her better judgment.

Charlie was slightly taken aback as Melinda began to cry and then beat him in the chest. He didn't know what was wrong with her but she wasn't acting like herself. But who would after their parents die, he thought.
He pushed her arms to her sides so she wasn't hitting him anymore and began to slowly rock her to try and get her to calm down."Shh," he whispered in her ear "It's just me, Mel. Everything's okay." He wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do but it felt right so he kept doing it. He was immencly stronger than Melinda so he was able to hold her tight enough she couldn't start beating him up again but not so tight that he was restraining her.

It took Melinda a moment to snap back to reality. She felt the familiar warmth and realized it was Charlie. “I'm sorry I thought...I...never mind...” Melinda said in defeat. She wished at times like this he knew her secret. The Halliwell's had told them Piper and Leo had died in a head on collision and she had been in the back so she wasn't hit directly.
She hated to lie, but what else could she say? Some people broke into her house and murdered her family? That would definitely explain the lack of police activity.
“So what's up?” Melinda asked trying to soak up her tears and ask casually. Trying to hide the fear in her voice. After all, what was she supposed to be scared of as far as he was concerned? A car?

Chris was just finished kicking the beam when her herd the sound of orb jingle behind him... Chris clenched his fists as he felt his blood boil. He turned around and sure enough saw three of the most disgusting faces he had ever known. Chris was just about ready to charge head on into the b@$t@rd$ but he kept his cool... He glared at them... His emerald eyes piercing down at their soul-less forms.
That's what he believed... He truly believed that the Elders had no souls... How dare they after everything they put them through just allow their parents to die? How dare they show up to the funeral and wait for him as they wanted something from him? If they thought Chris was gonna do something for then, they had another thing coming. Chris stared them down and began to talk in his coldest voice...
"You have some nerve showing up here..."
*********************************************************
Camille turned to look at the girl again as she asked her question... There was something interesting about this girl... Something different, but Camille couldn't put her finger on what it was... She asked her if she was a local...
"Yeah... Lived here practically my whole life... I'm assuming you're not though."
Camille gave the girl a friendly smile... She may have been having an awful day what with her boyfriend loosing his cool every 5 minutes, but she was able to act nice for a little while...

“Christopher, despite your resentment toward us, you need to set that aside for a moment. There is something bigger and better ahead of you.” Sandra spoke. Sandra having a long history with Halliwell's, even angry ones. Had the other's leave. She didn't have to say it they just did.
“There is a witch, coming to San Fransisco and it's no doubt destiny brought her here. She will be coming to her powers very soon and she will need guidance. You are undoubtedly the right person. Though there are two reasons for that but you will have to figure those two things on your own."
One was she had some connection to the Halliwell's through Chris. Two Chris and her were meant to be together, but these things he would have to figure out alone.
******************************************************************
Caitlin waited for the girl to respond but she couldn't help but steal a few glances. Then she had this odd feeling inside her. She heard the girl speak. “What?” Caitlin said in sort of a daze. Then shook it off. “Oh yeah I'm from Boston been there since I was born” Caitlin said with a friendly smile back. She was sort of glad to get away. She was in a new city now.

Chris scoffed at Sandra... Were they serious? Did they actually expect him to help some dumb witch because they asked him to... And they have the nerve to ask him right after his parents' funerals. Were they completely out of their minds?
"You're kidding right? You have the gall to hide while my parents were getting BRUTALLY murdered not to mention my sister almost dying... The you even show at the funeral for whatever reason... Now, you come here and ask me to HELP you? My mother was right, you really do have nerves!"
Chris was about to turn and orb out when he heard Sandra's last statement... Not only was she asking for his help... but she wasn't even bothering to be straight with him...
"You know what? You Elder's haven't changed... All you care about is for my family and I to clean up your messes and to go after lost witches, but you know what? I'm done with this! I'm done with all of you! Now if you don't mind I'd like to be ALONE!"
Chris was starting to feel the pain in his stomach again creeping up and constricting his wind pipe. He grabbed his chest and tried to breath in and out very slowly...
*******************************************************
Camille's eyes grew more attentive as she heard the girl say she was from Boston... That was weird... The only thing that her ever told her about their lives before San Fransisco was that they used to live in Boston, but moved to San Fransisco when Camille was around a year old... How weird was it that this girl who was sending weird vibes to Camille also came from Boston...
"Boston you say? That's odd... I was born in Boston... My folks and I moved here when I was about a year old..."

“Well Christopher we can not force you to do anything you don't want to do. That is too bad we will just have to hope someone else will suffice enough to bring the witch to her full power, but Christopher destiny does have a way of having it's way. This isn't going to end here but it does end with us. I do hope you see clearly soon enough” Sandra said and orbed out leaving Chris alone.
**************************************************************
Caitlin's eyes too widened. She was from Boston, she looked a lot like her and she had a very strange feeling. She was also adopted. Wait what am I think that is crazy! Caitlin thought hearing her stomach lurch. “Wow really...” Caitlin said uncomfortably. “You moved away when you were a baby? Do you have any siblings?” Caitlin asked wondering why she felt so compelled to ask some strange girl questions like these. She felt like more than stranger though it was weird.

Chris glared at the Elder as she orbed out. He was so angry all he wanted to was to start shooting his electric bolts everywhere... He couldn't believe the nerve of that Elder... He didn't understand why he didn't just shoot bolts them... He knew why... He wasn't evil... As angry as he was at the Elders, he knew that he would never do something that horrible... He sighed and sat down leaning against one of the beams and just started thinking and trying to relax...
********************************************************
Camille felt a bit uncomfortable when the girl asked her if she had any siblings... Why did she want to know so much about her? She was just a girl she just met... She was probably never going to see her again...
Still... Something inside of her told her to answer her question... Camille sighed and turned to the girl.
"Umm... no I don't have any siblings... It's just me... No siblings, no parents, no family... Well I had parents but they passed away about a year ago..."
Camille stopped herself... Why was she spilling her guts to this girl? She didn't understand. Usually she was reserved except for when she was with Wyatt... So why was she telling this girl her life story? Camille hoped this darn newbie would give her the stupid schedule.

“Oh” Caitlin said biting her lip. What the hell am I asking her this. I don't know this girl. I am crazy. Caitlin thought. “I uh well do you know anywhere good to eat around here?” Caitlin said spitting (not literally) it out. She was usually an eloquent speaker but she felt at odds. There was just something so familiar about this girl but it was foreign at the same time. This girl probably thought she was some freak on drugs. Maybe I am . She didn't know why she was thinking or feeling like she was.

Camille looked at the girl shift uncomfortably... She must have felt awkward asking her that question. Camille felt bad.. Maybe her stress was making this girl uncomfortable. She asked Camille if there were any good restaurants in the area... Camille looked down and nodded sadly. She thought about Piper's restaurant "Astral". She looked back up and quickly put a smile back on her face.
"Umm yeah I know a great place... Unfortunately the owner just passed away... It's called Astral..."

Things were certainly getting awkward for the both of them. Caitlin heard her tell her of a place, but the owner had recently passed away. “Oh I'm sorry...” Caitlin said dejected. All her questions were getting worse and worse. She didn't want the girl to go there was just something about her.
Suddenly the receptionist looked up at Camille. “I'm going to get a supervisor this computer isn't letting me in without their pass code err I'll be right back sorry” the noob protested looking embarrassed and left quickly. Leaving them alone. The hall was empty too it was even more strange.
Caitlin looked at the girl's wrist and looked at the pretty bracelet. It looked a like the one she had since she was a baby. It was the only thing that was with her when her parents abandoned her. Caitlin glanced down at her own wrist to make sure her eyes weren't decieving her.
“Where did you get that?” Caitlin asked suddenly and took the girls wrist with out really noticing what she was doing. She did it gently though to get a better look at the bracelet. Before she could do anything else. She felt like she had just been shocked and saw something bright like a ball of energy emit from their hands.
Caitlin quickly took her hand back. What the hell was that!!! Caitlin screamed in her head and took a few steps back clearly taken back. She looked up at the girl confused. I really am losing it!!

Camille smiled at the girl... She didn't know any better... It wasn't her fault... She didn't know Piper the way that Camille did. Poor girl, she must be feeling awful for asking her about Astral... Camille could have just told the newbie to forget her schedule and she could have left this weird situation... But she didn't want to leave just yet... Something was yelling at her to stay put...
The newbie was looking more and more flustered as she tried to obtain the code for the computer. Camille rolled her eyes... She had learned the computer codes within her first few shifts. It wasn't rocket science... The newbie left and soon Camille was alone with the girl...
"I swear newbies are so lame..."
Camille looked up as the girl asked her about her bracelet. It wasn't too much of a big deal... It was a bracelet that she had for as long as she could remember. It was a gold chain and in the center of the chain were two links but they were intertwined. One link was full of sapphires and the other was full of rubies...
"Ummm I've had it since I was a kid. My..."
Camille couldn't finish her sentence because without warning, the girl grabbed her wrist to look at her bracelet. s soon as she did, Camille felt a small shock come to her wrist as a light came out of the hand that the girl grabbed.
Camille gasped and jumped back... That was the second time today that something magical happened and she didn't plan it... She looked at the girl... She looked incredibly shocked as if she had never seen something like that before... There was something really weird about her...
"This is not normal..." Camille said to herself...

Caitlin stood there for a few seconds, just staring that the girl. People just don't have energy emit from there body. It was scientific it wasn't normal. Caitlin swallowed hard trying to think of a plausible explanation.
She wished she could just disappear from this strange dream. As soon as she thought that she disappeared literally. Unknowingly triggering her power of invisibility. Though she wasn't aware. She could see her own self. Just other people couldn't. Good thing there was nobody around to witness what just happened.

Camille was staring at her hand and back at the girl when suddenly she saw her disappear for a few seconds before coming back. Camille in a panic started looking everywhere to make sure no one had seen her. The last thing Camille needed was to get exposed because of this girl.
She then walked up to the girl and went to grab her wrists to ask her what she was thinking. As soon as she grabbed her wrists, both their bracelets started glowing like crazy and the links seemed to be attracted to each other. Camille watched as some glowing lights came from the bracelets and entered both into her and into the other girl.
Camille was panicking. She had no idea as to what was going on. Even with her many years of being exposed to magic, she was never used to something like that. She then felt a gust of wind circle around her. She then let go of the girl's wrists and began to back up slowly from her...
"Tell me now, how the h3ll are you?"

Caitlin reappeared back again. Caitlin felt the girl grab her wrist. She wondered why she was doing that. She wanted to get out of there. Before she could open her mouth. Their bracelets started glowing and interlocking and doing whatever else was impossible.
Caitlin felt the girl let go if her. Her lip was trembling she had to be dreaming. Then the girl yelled at her demanded who she was. “I....I...du...dunno...” Caitlin said her lip trembling even more. She was almost shaking all over. Her heart was pounding fast.

Camille looked around her and sighed in relief that no one had seen what had just happened between the two girls. She looked at the girl and she looked like she was about to pass out. Camille didn't feel so good herself... She didn't understand what was going on... These things do not just happen just randomly... She knew that was something funky about this girl...
Camille started pacing the floor... She rubbed her head as she tried to think... She did not need this today... She did not need this... She should be with Wyatt helping him get through his parents' deaths, yet she was getting tangled up in her own stupid drama.
She looked down at her bracelet... The rubies and sapphires were still glowing... She shook her head and grabbed the counter... She looked up at the girl who still looked like she had just seen a ghost... She was obviously new to magic... But Camille didn't have time for this... She needed to know who this girl was and why their bracelets acted all weird...
"Ok I'm just as freaked out as you are... Well maybe not as much as you are... But I still am... Which is why I need to know who you are... Maybe we can figure out why this funky stuff happened..."

Melinda seemed to realize where she was again and stopped crying. Charlie felt it was safe to loosen his hold on her but didn't completely let go. "Nothing much," he said in reply to her question. That in fact was a lie. He had been sitting at home debating whether or not to go in search of the demons that had attacked the Charmed Ones but he didn't know how he could when he was supposed to be believing they had died in a car crash. He had known what had really happened to the Halliwells the moment he had stepped in their house after the accident. Though everything had been cleaned up demonic magic had other ways of leaving traces.
"I just thought I'd come over and see how you're doing." he said rubbing her arm comfortingly and forcing a cheerful smile. "So where is everyone?" he said looking around the deserted house.

Caitlin didn't know what was happening to her. Was she seriously so delusional she was seeing things now? Had she lost her mind? Was she dreaming? This isn't real. This isn't real. This isn't real. Caitlin thought her eyes closed for a minute in thought. I'm going to open my eyes and I'm going to somewhere else, anywhere but here. She thought in hope. Caitlin opened one eye peering to see if it was indeed a dream. No such luck. She was still here with that girl in front of her. "Okay clearly I've lost my mind". Caitlin muttered under her breath.
This was so messed up. What did all of this mean? She really didn't know what to believe. She felt like that really old movie Vanilla Sky. How the hell was she to tell reality from delusions anymore?
“Like hell you are” Caitlin said her hands on her hips. “Freaked” Caitlin laughed. “You think I'm freaked? You want me to tell you who I am? Why don't you tell me who I am? I sure as hell don't know anymore!” Caitlin said throwing her hands in the air in defeat. She was breathing heavy and raising her voice.
****************************************************************
“Oh well I'm just peachy” Melinda said rolling her eyes. Not at him but at the thought. Melinda sighed. “I don't know. Everyone is falling apart” Melinda said. She wished she could tell him the whole truth. It would be so much easier to be open with him. “I just wish...I could...” Melinda said almost telling him who she was. “Never mind” Melinda sighed in defeat. She wasn't going to tell him. Not now anyway. With her parents death, he would probably think she flipped her lid.
“Anyway. Do you want to get out of here? I don't want to be here right now. Let's go for a drive." Lets keep driving until the sun rises and never look back. Melinda added in thought only. She wished she could never look back and forget her life. Leave the pain and memories behind. He couldn't do that though. She had family here. Family she would hurt tremendously.

Charlie smiled slightly at Melinda's sarcasm. He didn't know exactly how she felt because his mother had been killed when he was really young and he had never met or tried to find his father after he bailed on his mother. But he had lost his adouptive mother to cancer four years ago so he had an idea of how she felt.
When she mentioned going for a drive, he couldn't help but give her a knowing smile. "And would we be coming back after this said drive?" he asked taking one of his arms away from her and shoving it into the pocket of his leather jacket, keeping his other arm still wrapped around her waist.
