Not everything that shines is Gold

Yay! An update! This just gets better and better.

[~*Alicia*~]

Matthew stood up from the sofa and started looking at all the pictures that were in the living room.
“You’re very lucky, you know?” He took a picture of Melinda, Piper, Leo, Wyatt and Chris. “You’ve got a family that loves you and protects you, but most of all are there for you.” He placed the picture down and took another one of Melinda and Phoebe’s two older daughters, Penelope and Patricia. Melinda looked at him.
“But I bet your mother really loved you, and your brothers….” She started to talk but Matthew cut her off.
“One of them is dead, and the other one was the one who killed him.” He said and looked at Melinda, she had no idea what to say. Out of everything she had seen and heard her entire life, why did something like that shocked her that bad? Matthew looked at her and waited for her to talk. Finally she did.
“So…um…I don’t know what to say, really. All that I can think of is I’m sorry.” She looked at Matthew and started to think about her brothers, she had no idea what she’d do if Wyatt or Chris did that. Matthew stared at her.
“I know it is a lot to handle or to hear.” Matthew said and sat down next to Melinda again.
“How did it happen?” She asked not able to look at Matthew. He swallowed and looked at her with his blue eyes, he looked really tired but he did not show it.
“It all started the day my mom died. Of the 3 of us the only ones that had powers were Gregory and me.” He was about to continue when Melinda stopped him.
“So you have powers?” She said in the tone of voice Piper put whenever she was about to get pissed. Matthew nodded. “What kind of powers?” Melinda asked looking straight into his eyes, he just stayed quiet and looked at the floor. “Are your powers demonic?” She asked and jumped of the sofa, she suddenly remembered that Matthew’s father was a demon. Matthew looked at her and realized it was time he told her the truth after all it was better than she heard it from him than Leo.
“Melinda, please sit down.” He said in the calmest voice he could possibly talk in.
“Yeah and then you’re going to kill me with your demonic powers.” She said and started to step back.
“Melinda, I know your father and you’re a Halliwell confronting you would mean that I’m on some kind of deathwish or something, don’t you think?” He said a little bit upset and Melinda looked at him, she realized that if Leo Wyatt knew him, he was not an evil being so she sat down across him and looked at him. She sighed and looked outside the window the sun was going to come out in a while. She remembered that tonight it was the weekly family dinner with her Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
“Talk fast, my mom is about to come downstairs.” She said a little bit angry, she inherited that from her mom, whenever she couldn’t sleep and saw that day was coming up she got cranky. Matthew looked at her and continued.
“To answer your question, yes I do have powers and yes they’re demonic but I have been able to control them and I say that I must thank my mom for that. Since I was little she taught me how to use my power for good and how to avoid temptation of evil.” He said and looked at her, Melinda was staring at him and feeling really bad for her behavior a couple of minutes ago.
“So if you and Gregory had powers why did John...” She looked at him and couldn’t finish the sentence.
“Didn’t? I have no idea I guess that my dad’s power couldn’t be split in 3 or maybe he got a gipsy power that was going to manifest later on.” Melinda looked at him and suddenly she realized something.
“Was? So, John actually died?” She said and Matthew looked at her. “And Gregory killed him?” Matthew looked at her and nodded, Melinda looked at him and she felt her face going white. “I am so sorry.” She said when she was finally able to speak.
“Don’t worry, it was my fault.” He said and stood up and looked outside the window.
“What do you mean?” Melinda asked. “You didn’t help Gregory, right?” Matthew swallowed and stayed quiet for a while.

[~.:Alysha:.~]

Ohhhh very good..he has demonic powers interesting..i wonder why he seems to blame himself for the death of his brohter? Oh well just have to wait and find out! Keep it up

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Love the story so far. Brilliant! Can't wait for more!

[~*Alicia*~]

Melinda was starting to fear the worst when Matthew finally spoke.
“I didn’t have anything to do with John’s death in fact I hid like a coward when I clearly could’ve saved him.” He said not wanting to look at Melinda.
“We all make mistakes.” She said placing her hand on Matthew’s shoulder. He turned around and his eyes met Melinda’s.
“You wouldn’t understand.” He said and looked straight into her green eyes.
“Try me.” She said in a low calm voice, right now she sounded a lot like her mother. Matthew looked at her and smiled.
“You’re a lot like your dad, you know? Always willing to help no matter what.” He said and pulled away from Melinda. For a moment he had forgotten all about John and Gregory and Mrs. Carrow all he could think of was of the lovely girl who was there with him at that moment and that all she wanted was to help him. He looked back at her she was still standing there looking out the window, the sun was coming out. She turned back and looked at him. When she looked at him, he was looking at the floor and he turned really pale.
“Are you alright? Can I get you anything?” Melinda asked looking at him. She was about to go the kitchen when Matthew caught her by the arm.
“No. I’m fine.” He said. “But I think you should sit down.”
“Why? What’s wrong?” She said and sat down next to Matthew.
“I need to tell you the rest of the story.” He said and looked at her, his eyes didn’t look tired anymore they looked determined and with a lot of will. Melinda looked at the clock and it was 5 AM her mom wasn’t going to wake up until about 45 min.
“I’m listening.” She said looking at him, he swallowed and started talking.
“I already told you that it all started the day my mom died, that day only Gregory and John were with her I was out with one of my friends. For what John told me Gregory went to the bathroom and he stayed with mom and a man appeared out of nowhere saying he wanted her kids, she said no and the man went towards John my mom tried to fight the man but he stabbed her and then threw a fireball at her, that’s when Gregory came out and made the man explode. After that Gregory blamed John and me for our mother’s death. Me for not being there and John for not doing anything.” He said and Melinda looked at him.
“ Why John? He didn’t have any power, it was not his fault.” She said and Matthew looked at her. He apparently blamed himself for that death as well because all he could say was.
“If I would’ve been there.”
“You didn’t know, it was not your fault.” She said and placed her hand on his shoulder. “As it wasn’t your fault what happened to John.”
“Yes, it was. You don’t know the whole story.” He said looking at her.
“Tell me then.” She said in a low calm voice, she sounded a lot like Piper but with a little bit of Prue. Matthew stood up and looked at Melinda. “I won’t judge you.” She said and looked at him. He smiled at her and sat down again.
“I know you won’t.” He said almost whispering but Melinda could hear.
“Then tell me.” She said in her calm voice.
“Ever since Mrs. Carrow came she started to fill Greg’s head with ideas like ruling the Unerworld by forming a New Triad but all he had to do was to show me and John that being evil and powerful was better. John and I didn’t fell for that, we tried to explain to Greg that Mrs. Carrow was wrong but he didn’t listen, one night Mrs. Carrow took him out and Greg didn’t come back, next thing I found out was that he was in the Underworld being trained. One day he appeared into our room and started to talk to us about how good it felt to be evil, so John and I tried to get that idea out of him, but he got really mad that we did not listen so all of the sudden he’s got 2 fireballs in his hands, he threw one at me but I dodged it and hid under the bad, then he threw the other one at John but since he was powerless he couldn’t do anything so the ball hit him, next thing I knew he was dead just like that.” He stopped and Melinda could see his eyes all filled with tears.
“I am so sorry to hear that, I really am.” That’s all Melinda could think of, so she placed her hand on Matthew’s back. “What can I do to help?” He smiled at just the sound of that sentence.
“Well I’ll have to talk to your dad to see what you can do.” He said in a more cheered up voice.
“What does my dad have to do with it?” She asked and looked at Matthew, he sighed again and started talking.
“Your dad is…how can I say it…um, remember he was my mother’s whitelighter?” Melinda nodded. “Well he is not my whitelighter but my mother told me before she died that if something bad happened to her or even if it didn’t me and my brothers were going to find him so he could protect us, but that we were going to find him when we were ready. Your dad’s job with me is train me, so I can save my brother and fight my destiny.” He finally said talking really slowly so Melinda would understand.
“My dad is going to train you?” She asked in a shocked voice. “My dad? Leo Wyatt? My dad?” She asked looking really shocked. Matthew nodded and Melinda looked at him.
“So if my dad has to train you as you say he has, what happens to you?” She asked. Matthew stayed quiet for a while and looked at her. Suddenly they heard someone coming downstairs. Melinda looked at the clock and saw 5:45 AM, her mother was the one coming downstairs, she woke up at that time so she could prepare breakfats for them, she was completely sure that her dad already told her about Matthew, so he didn’t need to hide this time. That didn’t bother her, what bothered her was that at the point where Matthew was about to talk somebody interruped them.

this matthew character reminds me a lot of Jake and Damian from my fan fics

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper Halliwell came downstairs and found her daughter and her sister’s charge in the living room.
“Hey. I am Piper, Melinda’s mom. You must be Matthew.” She said and stretched out her hand.
“Yeah, that’s me.” He said and shook Piper’s hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too.” Piper answered back, she then looked at her daughter. “Good morning, sweetie! How did you sleep?” She asked and gave Melinda a kiss on the forehead.
“Morning, mom. How was the dinner party?” She said.
“You know your Aunt Phoebe, she loves to give great parties. Now, Melinda, I bet both of you must be really tired, you look like you need some sleep.” She said and looked at Melinda. “Show Matthew the guest room and then go to the attic, I am sure Wyatt and Chris would freak out if they woke up and you’re not there.” Melinda was about to talk and tell her mom that they weren’t done finished talking, but apparently she saw that coming because she said. “You can finish talking later this day, now you need to sleep, honey. Remember tonight is the weekly family dinner and your aunts, uncles and cousins are coming. You need to look good and rested. Now up.” She said and Melinda looked at Matthew.
“Common, I’ll show you the guest room.” She said and she and Matthew stood up and followed her.
“With your permission.” He said and followed Melinda upstairs. Piper watched them and giggled. After that she went into the kitchen, and started cooking.
“The youth this days.” She said and looked at a picture of her and Leo that was on the refrigerator’s door, she sighed and giggled.
Matthew was walking behind Melinda, she suddenly stopped in front of a door.
“This is your room.” She said and opened the door, Matthew was halfway in when he stopped and looked back at her.
“Just a question.” He said and Melinda looked at him with suspicious eyes. He then nodded. “No, never mind.” He said and closed the door. Melinda looked at the closed door and knocked.
“Find out what?” She said, she hated to be left with the doubt but Matthew didn’t answer. She knocked again but she heard nothing. She was about to go to the attic when she came up with and idea. She moved her hands and went inside Matthew’s bedroom. He was lying on the bed with a big smile on his face, he did not noticed the girl coming inside his bedroom. Melinda stopped and looked at her hands, she giggled.
“I love my power.” She said and sat down on the bed. She inherited Piper’s power of freezing and blowing things, but she also inherited Prue’s telekinesis and astral projection and Phoebe’s levitation. She moved her hands again and Matthew jumped when he looked at her.
“How did you got in here?” He said quickly sitting down on the bed.
“I’m a witch, remember? I’ve got ways.” She said.
“Get out.” Matthew said. “This is privacy invasion.”
“Yeah, of course, I am invading your privacy. You appeared inside my house in the middle of the night. That is trespassing private property.” She said and looked at him. He looked at her.
“What do you want, Melinda?” He said. “You heard your mom we need to rest.” Melinda looked at him.
“I want to know what you were going to ask me.” She said in a determined voice.
“You want to know what I was going to ask you? Is that the whole reason why you entered my bedroom? You wanted to know what I was going to ask you?” He said and Melinda nodded. “Can I tell you tomorrow?” He said and Melinda looked at him, she didn’t easily trust anyone.
“But promess you’ll tell me.” She said.
“I promess.” Matthew said. “I give you my word. Now would you please let me rest?” He asked, got up, went towards the door and opened it. Melinda got up and stopped in front of him. She gave him a peck on the cheeck and went upstairs to the attic, Matthew closed the door as soon as Melinda was out of sight. He layed down, smiled and about 5 minutes later he felt asleep.
Melinda walked into the attic and found her 2 brothers in the same position they were last time she saw them. She smiled and layed down on Chris’ shoulder again, she smiled to the sight of that. Hearing about Matthew and his brothers made her realize how lucky she was. She had 2 brothers that looked out for her, she had 2 brothers that loved her no matter what, and she also had a mother and a father that would give their life for her. She was a really blessed girl.

I love it

Fantastic Alicia its really good!!

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris woke up and saw Wyatt in front of him and Melinda laying on his shoulder. He slowly stood up and placed his sister’s head on the sofa. He walked towards the window and stretched. He wondered how his sister slept after the little episode last night but from what he could see she looked fine. He went down and found his father reading the newspaper at the dining room table.
“Morning, dad.” He said and sat down on his usual spot.
“Morning, Chris. Had a good night sleep?” He asked and put the paper down.
“It was alright. How was the dinner party?” He asked getting a toast.
“Fine, we had a good time.” He said and Piper walked in the room.
“Morning, Chris.” She said and gave him a hug. “How was the carnival?” Chris looked at his mom, he didn’t want to be the one that told her about the attack but from the looks Piper shared with Leo they knew something.
“Do you two know anything that I don’t?” Chris asked and looked at his parents. Before they could answer that Paige orbed in.
“Morning.” She said and got a toast. “Hi, Chris.”
“Hi, Aunt Paige.” He said and kept eating his toast.
“What are you doing here?” Piper asked and served her a cup of coffee. Paige looked at her.
“Would you like me to leave, is that why you’re asking?” She said and Piper gave her a fierce look.
“No, Paige. It is just that you never stop by unless it is family dinner or you need to look something up in the Book of Shadows.” Piper said and sat down.
“No, Piper and you better than anyone must know about why I’m here, I am here because of the…”
“Would you come help me in the kicthen, now?” Piper said and gave Paige one of her fierce looks.
“Sure.” Paige said the moment she saw her sister’s look. She followed Piper into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Piper?”
“Leo and I haven’t exactly told Chris or Wyatt about the Matthew thing.” Piper said as poured some water in a vase. Paige looked at her.
“What? Piper you need to tell them. It is important, they have to help Matthew as well and you know it.” Paige said in a soft calm but determined voice.
“I know. Just give me time.” Piper said and looked at her baby sister. “How are Henry and the kids?” She asked changing subject.
“They’re great. You’ll see them tonight. They’re all coming.” Paige looked at Piper. “So, where’s Melinda? She’s usually up at this time.” She said looking at Piper, although she already knew that Melinda must be sleeping right now because of last night, but she wanted to know what her sister would answer.
“Yeah, as you didn’t know.” Piper said and Paige laughed.
“Know what, sis?” She asked and Piper looked at her. “I don’t know anything.”
“Well, your niece stayed up almost all night talking to Matthew. Where do you think she is?” Piper said and looked at Paige, she laughed. After that they went back to the dining room. Chris looked at them suspiciously while they were in the kitchen he had tried to make his father talk but Leo managed to not say anything. Chris hated when someone hid something from him, especially his family. He looked at his mother and aunt as they sat down.
“So, what did you guys talk about?” He asked and they both looked at him.
“About dinner tonight.” Piper said. Paige looked at her, she had never seen her big sister come up with an excuse that fast, but after all she had 3 teenage kids, she needed to develop that skill.
“Really? What did you talk about?” Chris asked and looked at his mother. Leo looked at Paige and then at Piper.
“It is a surprise, son. What are your plans for today?” Leo said quickly changing subject.
“I am going out to lunch with Bianca, and you?” He said, he was suspicious but if Leo said it was a surprise he was not going to ruin it. They stayed quiet for a while and Wyatt came downstairs.
“Morning.” He said and sat down next to Chris, he looked at everyone in the dining room, and then he noticed his Aunt Paige. “Hey, Aunt Paige. Need to check the Book?” Wyatt said and Paige looked at him.
“I don’t come here only because I need the Book.” Paige said and Wyatt laughed.
“No, you’re right. You also come on Family Dinner.” Wyatt said. Paige looked at Piper.
“That’s not true! Haven’t you ever considered that I come here to see you?” She said. Piper laughed.
“Ha!”
“You’re impossible! See you all at dinner!” Paige said and orbed out. Wyatt and Piper kept laughing for a while, Chris and Leo watched them silently. After they stopped Leo looked at his eldest son.
“You’re impossible Wyatt. One day you complain that we don’t see Aunt Paige that much, and the day she’s here you make a bad taste joke about it.” Leo said and Wyatt looked at him.
“Dad but it is true. The only time we get to see her is when it’s family dinner or she needs the Book. I think we see demons more than her.” He said and Leo looked at him and then sighed. Piper looked at Wyatt.
“So, how did you sleep?” She asked.
“Fine, thanks. Can you pass me the jelly, Chris?” He said and Chris passed him the jar of strawberry jelly. “Thanks.”
“No problem. Got any plans for today?” Chris said and Piper looked at them, yesterday they were fighting with each other and now they were talking like normal civilized people, what a change, she thought. Then she looked at Leo.
“Honey, you’re a little quiet today. What’s wrong?” Piper asked and Wyatt and Chris looked at their parents. Leo looked at Piper and smiled.
“Nothing, I am just a little tired. We got in late last night.” Leo lied, he couldn’t stop thinking about his daughter, he was worried about her, he had no idea why but he was. Wyatt and Chris shared some suspicious looks with each other, apparently Leo noticed that because he said.
“You didn’t answer Chris’ question, Wyatt.” Leo said and looked at his eldest son.
“Right!” Wyatt said and looked at Chris. “No, haven’t got any plans today. I was thinking of sitting down and watching TV, what about you?” Wyatt said.
“Going out with Bianca.” Chris said and continued eating. He looked at his parents, it was weird they haven’t asked about Melinda yet. Maybe they saw us asleep last night and realized how tired we were, he thought. Leo looked at them.
“Why don’t you come with me, Wyatt? I am going to go over to Darryl’s house, and pick up some things. I might need some help.” Leo said, it was some time ago since he spent some quality time with Wyatt. Wyatt looked doubtful for a second but then agreed.
“Sure, dad.” He said and continued eating. After that they just kept talking until breakfast was over.
“Isn’t it weird that Mel is not up yet?” Wyatt asked and looked at his parents and brother, when they finished eating.
“Well, I bet she is really tired.” Chris said and gave Wyatt a fierce look. Piper noticed the look.
“Is there anything your father and I need to know?” She asked and Leo looked at Chris.
“Chris, Wyatt.” Leo said and both of the boys sat down again.
“Well, um, last night. I don’t know how to say it. Wyatt, a little help here.” Chris said and looked at him.
“Don’t look at me, I wasn’t there with you.” Wyatt said and looked at his brother.
“Well, last night at the gipsy fair, Melinda was attacked.” Chris said and waited for his mother’s reaction.
“What?” Piper said.
“Mom, relax. She is fine, didn’t you see her last night? She is in one piece.” Wyatt said.
“That’s not the point, Wyatt. The point is that someone tried to attack her last night and you didn’t tell us.” Leo said. “Did you got a look of the attacker?” He finally asked to Chris.
“There was a woman and, I’m not sure, but a guy as well. I just looked at the woman.” Chris said and looked at his father. “But, I think there was a guy, I’ll ask Bianca.” He said. Piper looked at them.
“Well, at least Melinda is fine.” She said.
“Can we go now?” Wyatt asked and Piper nodded. After Chris and Wyatt went upstairs, Leo placed his arm around Piper.
“She is fine. They are all fine.” He said and kissed her. She smiled.
“I just can’t help worrying, you know?” She said.
“That makes us 2.” Leo said, he knew that there was a guy and he also knew who the guy was but as long as Piper didn’t know who he was it was all going to be fine.

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris got ready and orbed out over to Bianca’s. He found her in her living room reading some magazines.
“Hey!” She said when she saw him. She stood up and kissed him. “How is Mel?” She asked.
“When I left still asleep.” He said, Bianca looked at him.
“That’s not what I meant, but.” She looked at her watch. “It is almost 9:15 am, isn’t it weird that she hasn’t woken up?”
“Well, she had a rough night.” Chris said. “I’d be asleep as well if something like that happened to me.” He said. “And talking about that, um, yesterday at the fair. Wasn’t there a guy when we came in to get Melinda?” He asked, if there was a guy he was not crazy but if there wasn’t what would Bianca think of him. Bianca looked at him.
“Yes there was a guy. That was the guy who told me that the fortuneteller only saw one person at a time. Why do you ask?” She said. Chris sighed in realief. He was not crazy.
“Never mind. Just me and my curiosity.” He said, if the guy was a demon he was going to come after Melinda following the fortuneteller’s orders. “Are you ready?” He asked trying to get that thought out of his mind.
“Give me a sec.” Bianca said, went to get a coat and took Chris’ hand. “Ready.” They orbed out.
Melinda woke up and found herself all alone in the attic, she looked at her watch. 9:30 am.
“Did I really sleep that much?” She said stretching.
“Yes, you did.” Wyatt’s voice said behind her. She turned around and saw her brother, he was standing at the door he was relying against the door frame. It looked like he had been there for a while now. He walked towards her. “Can I get you anything?” He asked.
“A glass of water, please.” She answered and swallowed her throat was completely dry. Wyatt orbed and appeared a couple of seconds again with a glass of water.
“What are your plans for today?” He asked and sat down next to her. She drank a sip of water.
“Stay here and rest.” She said, she was feeling really tired. Not only because of the attack yesterday but because she didn’t got much sleep. Wyatt looked at her.
“Why don’t you come with me and dad over to Darryl’s house?” He said and Melinda looked at him.
“No, thanks I am fine.”She said and took a sip of her water.
“Are you sure?” He asked. “I think that you need to stop thinking about last night.” He said in a low deep voice, he sounded like a very worried old brother.
“Wyatt, you don’t have to worry about me. I am not a baby anymore.” She said and gave a big smile to her brother. Wyatt looked at her and smiled.
“I know you’re not a baby anymore, it is just that you’ll always be my little sister and I’ll always always worry about you, no matter how old you are.” Wyatt said and hugged his baby sister, stood up and started to walk towards the door.
“Thank you, for worrying about me.” She said, Wyatt stopped and looked at her.
“Why?” He asked interesting.
“Because if you worry about me, it means that you love me.” She said and took another sip of her water. Wyatt laughed.
“You’re right.” He went towards her and gave her another hug. Leo walked into the attic. He looked at his daughter.
“Oh, you’re up! How are you?” He asked.
“Great, dad. What about you?” She asked looking at her father.
“Just great.” Leo lied, he was worried but he was not going to show it. He looked at Wyatt. “Common we have to go.” He looked back at Melinda. “Love you! Have a great day.” Leo said and kissed his daughter on the forehead.
“Doing nothing.” Wyatt teased, finishing his father’s last sentence, after that Leo and Wyatt orbed out. Melinda stood up and went to her room. When she got there she let herself fall into the bed.
“Oh, God! My whole body aches.” She said and rubed her shoulders. She heard a knock on the door. “Not right now!” She whispered to herself suddenly the door opened and Piper was standing there.
“Prudence Melinda Halliwell- Wyatt!” She said in a very severe voice, Melinda looked up. Her mother only used her full name when she was in trouble.
“What did I do now?” Melinda asked, she wanted to rest.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were attacked yesterday?” Piper asked while entering the room and shutting the door behind her.
“Haven’t been exactly awake, mom.” Melinda said looking at the roof.
”Well, today when I woke up and found you on the living room you could have told me.” Piper said, she sounded really upset right now.
“Mom.” Melinda said sitting and looking at her mother. “I really didn’t want to upset you, I know how much you worry, you need your focus on other things, like your restaurant and Magic School and all that stuff that it’s worth worrying about. Not me and some attack, besides I can handle it and Chris is going to help me, if we need some backups we’ll call you.” Melinda said in her sweet deep voice. Piper looked at her and smiled.
“You’re right, honey. It is just that I want to protect you and your brothers. It seems like yesterday you were toddlers.” She placed her hand on Melinda’s cheek. “I love you. But don’t expect that I am not going to pay attention on what you do about that demon, it is my job to worry, remember?” She said and hugged Melinda.
“I love you too.” Melinda answered and hugged her mother. “And you don’t need to worry that much, you’ll get wrinkles.” Melinda teased her mother. Piper giggled.
“I’ll leave you to rest.” Piper said and left the room. Melinda heard her walking down the hall, she closed her eyes. Suddenly she heard Matthew’s voice.
“Is Melinda in her room?” He asked to Piper.
“Yes, but she needs to rest right now.” Piper answered.
“it will only take a minute.” Matthew answered to Piper.
“OK, go ahead. But be brieff.” She said. “She needs to rest.” Melinda heard Piper walking down the hall and then downstairs after that she heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.” She said and minutes later Matthew came in.
“Hi.” Matthew said, Melinda looked at him and she sensed something diferent about her, but she thought it was only because she was tired.
“Hello.” She said. Matthew looked at her and stayed quiet. “What do you need?” Melinda finally asked.
“Right… um… I need to… um… talk to you about last night.” He finally said and Melinda looked at him.
“Sure.” She said and pointed a chair in front of her.
“Not but in the attic.” He said, Melinda looked at him.
“Why? What’s the big diference?” She asked.
“Well because we will have more privacy there.” He said. Melinda didn’t feel like arguing so she agreed. They got to the attic door.
“After you.” Matthew said and Melinda entered. On Matthew placed his hand back and an atheme appeared on his hand. Melinda enetered and sat down on the sofa where Wyatt had slept.
“OK, we’re here. What do you want to talk about?” She asked. Matthew gave a devilish smile.
“Who said I want to talk?” He moved his hand and let Melinda see the atheme. Melinda looked at him.
“What are you doing, Matthew?” She asked and stood up quickly.
“One more thing, darling. I am not Matthew.” He said and threw a fireball at her.

[♥ Frozen Piper ♥]

oh amazing cant wait to see what will happen to Mel

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

"You’re right, honey. It is just that I want to protect you and your brothers. It seems like yesterday you were toddlers.” She placed her hand on Melinda’s cheek. “I love you. But don’t expect that I am not going to pay attention on what you do about that demon, it is my job to worry, remember?” She said and hugged Melinda.

Aww....I love this part. ;D

Great update!!!

[jate88]

I think I have an idea of what that question was that he wanted to ask her ;D

[~*Alicia*~]

Matthew woke up. He had a dream on which Gregory attacked Melinda tricking her to think he was him.
“It was all a dream.” He whispered to calm himself. Suddenly he heard a loud boom coming from the attic. “Melinda!” He said and quickly got up and went upstairs. He found Melinda standing in the middle of the attic and Gregory standing across the room in front of her. Apparently Gregory threw a fireball because a burnt smell and a big burnt mark was there. Gregory saw Matthew come in.
“Well, hello, brother.” Gregory said. Melinda turned to look.
“Leave her alone! She has nothing to do with our problem.” Matthew said and Gregory laughed.
“Well you’re right about that one, but, she is a Halliwell. Do you think I’d let an oportunity like this pass?” Gregory said and a big fireball formed on his left hand. Melinda was thinking what to do. She looked at Gregory, she was not going to hurt him but just scare him a little. She moved her hands and Gregory’s arm in which he had the fireball started to bleed. He turned to look at her.
“You damn witch!” He yelled at her and moved his hand. Melinda was trown to the other side of the attic and unto the wall. Matthew created a fireball and threw it at Gregory’s sore arm. Gregory yelled out of the pain and shimered away. Matthew went running towards Melinda. She was lying on the floor. Matthew approached her and ran his fngers through her hair. She opened her eyes.
“Hey.” She said in a very week voice.
“Don’t talk.” Matthew said. Suddenly Piper came running into the attic.
“OMG! What happened?” She said and kneeled down next to Matthew. She took Melinda’s hand. “Are you OK?” She asked. “Hold on a sec.” Piper said noticing that Melinda’s eyes were starting to close again, she had hit her head really hard. “Paige!” She yelled and her sister orbed in.
“What do you..” She didn’t finish the sentece because she noticed Melinda. “What happened?” She asked.
“Just heal.” Piper said. Her eyes were starting to fill with tears. She was holding her daughter’s hand so hard, she was not going to lose her, not now, not today. Paige approached her niece and healed her. Matthew watched amazed, he had never seen anything like that. He had his hand on Melinda’s head. His shiny blue eyes were filled with tears as well, if something happened to her it was going to be his fault. If he had never met her, Gregory wouldn’t have attacked and she would be fine right now. Melinda started to wake up. Paige withdraw her hands and looked at her niece, she thought of her daughters and understood how Piper felt right now. Melinda woke up and looked at her mother.
“Aunt Paige is going to have one more thing to heal if you keep holding my hand like that, mom.” She whispered in her weak voice. Piper let go of Melinda’s hand immediately.
“Sorry.” She said and a tear rolled down her cheek. “I am just glad you’re fine.” She turned to look at her sister. “Thanks, Paige. You just saved my little girl.” Piper said and gave a hug to her sister, tears rolled down her cheeks and all Paige could do was hug her back and smile. All Paige could think of right now was her children. Her son Henry had the same age as Melinda and her daughters, Peyton and Paxton were 13 years old. The one that got attacked could have easily been one of them as well. She then looked at her niece.
“Hey, how are you feeling?” Matthew whispered to Melinda. Piper was still hugging Paige and he didn’t want to interrupt them. Melinda looked at him.
“Been better.” She said, her voice sounded a lot better right now. When she talked Piper looked at her, she stopped hugging Paige and looked Melinda straight into her eyes.
“I am so glad that you’re OK.” She said. Melinda wipped her tears with her hand.
“I don’t like see you crying, mom.” Melinda said as she slowly started to sit down. Matthew helped her. Piper looked at her daughter and smiled. Paige backed away slowly and orbed out, Melinda would thank her later. Right now it was a mother-daughter moment. Melinda gave her mother a big hug and whispered in her ear.
“I love you from here to the last part of the universe and that will never change.” Piper heard this words and her heart melted. That was what Melinda said to her when she was little. Matthew apparently realized the same thing Paige did because he left the room. Piper and Melinda kept hugging each other for a while. Piper got so scared, she had a lost a sister once but the feeling of losing a daughter was completely diferent. After all the fuzz was over Piper looked at her daughter.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done if something happened to you.” Piper said in a serious voice and Melinda smiled. They got up from the floor and hugged each other again. Melinda looked around.
“Where are Matthew and Aunt Paige?” She asked and her mother looked around as well.
“Maybe they thought we needed to be alone for a while.” Piper said.
“To bad I wanted to thank both of them for helping me.” She said.
“You’ll see your Aunt Paige at dinner, you can thank her there.” Piper said. “Now, Matthew is probably in his room.” Piper said and smiled. “I am sure he wants to talk to you.” Piper said and her smile grew bigger.
“What do you mean by that?” Melinda said and Piper turned to leave the room.
“You know what I mean.” She said and left the room. Piper walked downstairs from the attic and saw Matthew there, he had a worried look on his face. Piper was worried as well but she had promissed Melinda that she wouldn’t butt in on the demon issue. She looked at him, it never crossed her mind that the guy that asked for Melinda a while ago wasn’t Matthew.
“She is fine.” Piper said and kept walking, she didn’t want to find out what happened. Melinda had told her that if she needed help she was going to call her. So all she could do was to try and stop thinking about it, which meant to her one word: cooking. Matthew watched her go downstairs and a few moments later Melinda walked down from the attic as well. She saw Matthew there, and he came towards her as if trying to help her.
“I am fine.” She said and smiled at him.
“Are you sure?” He asked. “I am sorry about what happened.”
“Don’t be. It was not your fault.” She said and placed her hand on his shoulder, Matthew looked at her and moved quickly.
“I feel like such an idiot.” He said his voice sounded mad. “I should’ve known that the moment he found out a Halliwell was helping me, he was going to come after you.” He said and Melinda approached him. He moved quickly as he saw her coming. “What if something really bad would have happened to you? Ah?” He kept talking.
“Matthew.” Melinda said but he kept talking. “Matthew.” She said again in a louder voice and he turned to look at her.
“What?” He asked. She approached him and hugged him.
“Thank you for saving me. You were really brave upthere.” She said and felt how Matthew’s arms covered her. She felt so safe at that moment.
“You’re welcome.” Matthew finally said. He felt really good with him right now. “Melinda?” He said and Melinda looked up, he was just a little bit taller than her. Her nose touched his chin, she tiptoed and her nose met his. They started to approach their lips together and…
“Mhm” They heard a throat gasp behind them. They turned and saw Chris there.

Thanks, Melissa. I am glad you liked that part. It is my fav as well!
