“Hi, Chris.” Melinda said and quickly separated from Matthew. Matthew looked at Chris. “What are you doing here?” Melinda asked all nervous.
“I forgot my wallet.” He said. He looked at Matthew and gave him a fierce look. “Who are you?” He asked.
“Hi, I am Matthew Garden.” Matthew answered and stretched out his hand, but withdraw it quickly seeing that Chris had no intention of shaking it. “You must be Melinda’s brother, right?” He said trying to break the awkard silence.
“Yes, I am.” Chris looked at Melinda. “Does mom know he is here?” He asked.
“Yes, she does.” She answered not knowing what to say. She then looked at Matthew. “Would you mind leaving me and Chris alone for a while?” She asked.
“Not at all.” He said and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Nice to meet you.” He said to Chris and then turned around and went downstairs. He found Piper cleaning the living room.
“Do you need help?” He asked. Piper turned around to look at him.
“What happened?” She asked.
“What do you mean by that?” He said, he had the feeling she knew something.
“What happened with you and Melinda?” She said now looking straight at him. “And don’t tell me that there’s nothing going on, because I know my daughter.” She said and Matthew looked at her and sighed.
“I really like you daughter.” He said and Piper looked at him and smiled, she remebered of when she and Leo started to date.
“For what I can see, she likes you too.” She said and Matthew looked up to her, he giggled as he remebered what had just happened with Melinda a couple of minutes ago. “What’s so funny?” Piper asked. Leo and Wyatt orbed in. Wyatt looked surprise when he saw Matthew.
“Mom?” Wyatt said and looked at his mother. “Who is he?” He asked and Piper looked at him, it was time to tell him about Matthew. She looked at Leo.
“Wyatt, there is something that me and you mom, would like to tell you.” He said and Wyatt looked at him.
“Dad, you’re scaring me. Is everything OK? Is Mel fine?” He said.
“She’s fine.” Matthew said. “She’s upstairs talking to Chris.”
“How do you know that?” Wyatt said.
“Because he was just upthere.” Piper said.
Meanwhile, Chris was looking at Melinda. After Matthew left he didn’t say anything. Suddenly he took a deep breath.
“Who was he?” He said and pointed at the same spot where Matthew was last seen. Melinda looked at him.
“He already told you who he was.” She said in a very angry tone of voice. Chris face turned red and Melinda couldn’t tell if it was because he was mad or embarrased.
“Prudence, I am not in the mood for games.” He said. “I’ve got Bianca waiting for me.”
“Then go.” She said in an angry tone of voice, and turned around and went downstairs. When she got downstairs she saw everyone in the living room, she got there and stood up next to Matthew.
“Hey!” She said to Wyatt and her dad. Suddenly they heard someone coming downstairs.
“Prudence, we are not done talking!” Chris yelled and entered the living room. Piper looked at him.
“Chris, what happened?” She asked.
“Wanna know what happened?” He yelled. “When I orbed in to get my wa….” He started the sentence but Melinda interrupted him.
“Matthew and I were about to kiss when Chris orbed in.” She said and looked at her father. Leo looked surprised.
“What?” Wyatt said. “Oh, I am going to kill you!” Wyatt said and was about to throw himself towards Matthew but Leo held him back.
“You know this is not the way we handle things in this house, Wyatt.” He said and then turned to Chris. “And you don’t you have to yell your sister about that, as I can recall I caught you and Bianca making out once.” He said and Chris’ face turned red. Melinda noticed that this time it was of embarrasment. Piper looked at her sons and then at Leo, who nodded.
“Wyatt, Chris. Your dad and I need to talk to you.” She said and both of her sons looked at her.
“Sure, mom.” Wyatt said.
“Just let me drop Bianca at her place.” He said, orbed out and 5 minutes later he was back. “I’m back. What do you want to talk about?” He said. Piper turned to look at Melinda and Matthew.
“Would you leave us alone for a while?” She said.
“Sure, mom.” She said and took Matthew’s hand. “Let’s go.” They went into the kitchen. Melinda entered and Matthew behind her. She looked worried.
“Are you OK?” He asked and placed his arm around her. She looked at him.
“Yeah, I am just a little worried of how my brothers will take the fact that you have to stay here, after what happened.” She said. He smiled.
“Who says I am staying here?” He said.
“Well, my dad has to train you, right?” She said.
“Right.” He answered and smiled back at her.

[jate88]

you gotta love older brothers ;D

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Wow.......awesome chapter. Awesome update. I love it!

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo looked at Piper, who smiled at him. He took a deep breath and started talking.
“The guy you just saw, Matthew. He is one of your Aunt Paige’s charges, his mother was one of my charges.” He started to explain.
“But that’s no reason for him to be here.” Chris said.
“Or kissing Mel.” Wyatt added and Chris nodded.
“Yeah, explain that, Leo.” He said and looked at his father. Piper looked at him, Chris only used first names or complete names, or names when something really bugged him.
“Chris, I know that it’s hard for you to see that your little sister is not a baby anymore, but you gotta let her grow.” Piper said and neither one of hre sons, knew what to say. Melinda had always been the baby, the one that they were supposed to tke care of, but now it seemed like so long ago. Leo looked at his sons for a while and then continued.
“Well, I was on the part where I was telling you who Matthew was. Well, his mother died, but one of the last times I saw her, she made me promess that I’d look out for her sons. Matthew’s father was a demon, whose job was to procreate hybrids with humans, but he felt Matthew’s mom, sometime before the babies were born.” He said and Chris interrupted again.
“Babies?” He asked, he had only heard about Matthew not other babies.
“Well, you see. Matthew has 2 brothers, well he has one now.” Leo started to explain. “Matthew’s mom, was expecting triplets, all boys. Matthew, Gregory and John. Her mother had no idea that her sons were wanted by demons, that wanted to train them to become the New Triad.” Leo said and once again, he was interrupted, this time by Wyatt.
“So, Matthew is a demon and he is with Mel. Oh, he is so dead.” Wyatt said and looked at Chris. “How do you think we should vanquish him?”
“You’re not going to vanquish Matthew!” Piper said and looked at her sons. “No matter how you feel about him, you’re not going to vanquish him! Now let your father finish!” Piper said.
“Thanks, honey!” Leo said. “Well, as I was saying. Matthew’s mom found out one day and she asked me to protect her boys, but since I stopped being a whitelighter, I promised her that her boys would be led to me, when they were ready.”
“Then why is only Matthew here?” Chris asked.
“That’s what I am getting to. Matthew’s brother, Gregory, was corrupted by evil and killed the other one, John. Matthew remained good and…” Leo couldn’t finish the sentence because Coop appeared.
“Coop, what are you doing here?” Piper asked.
“Well, I am not sure of how to say this but are Melinda and Matthew here?” He asked and Wyatt loooked at him.
“You got here to late, Uncle Coop. They were about to kiss a while ago.” Chris said.
“Really? Then…I’ll see you tonight at family dinner.” He said and disappeared.

[~*Alicia*~]

Wyatt looked at Coop diappaering and then looked at Chris.
“That demon is so dead.” He said and ran inside the kitchen but found no one in there, nit Matthew or Melinda, Leo came running behind him.
“Wyatt, we’re not finished talking.” Leo said and then looked around, there was no one there. “Where is your sister?” Leo asked looking around.
“I have no idea, when I came in, there was no one here.” Wyatt said. “Mel! Mel!” He yelled and Piper anc Chris came running.
“What’s wrong?” Piper asked, she knew that Wyatt only yelled like that when something was not OK.
“Melinda is not here, I am sure that demon got her! It was all a trap!” Wyatt yelled. “He is so dead if something happens to my sister!”
“It won’t”Piper said remembering the attack in the attic a while ago.
“How do you know that, mom?” Chris asked. “He is a demon, how do we know he is not like Cole?”
“Because, earlier this morning a demon attcked your sister and Matthew saved her.” Piper said and Leo looked astonished.
“He did?” Leo asked, he knew that Matthew was good, but had no idea why it sounded unbelievable that he saved Melinda. While, they were all in the kitchen, Melinda and Matthew were in the Underworld. While they were in the kitchen, Melinda had this idea of going to the Underworld to see Gregory, so she made Matthew shimer with her to the Underworld.
“We shouldn’t be here.” Matthew whispered to Melinda, who was walking in front of him, leading him as she held his hand.
“Relax!” She whispered back and ketp walking, suddenly they heard a voice and stopped behind a rock. They heard Gregory and Mrs.Carrow talking.
“He was with the witch! How am I going to get to him, if he’s with a witch?” He yelled to the woman.
“Relax! I am sure that it is just one of his many pouts. It will go away.” Mrs. Carrow answered. “Evil is in his nature, just like in yours.”
Matthew looked at Melinda, she was right in front of him.
“We should go.” He whispered.
“No, we have to know what they are up to.” Melinda said and she suddenly felt Matthew’s hand on her shoulder, she turned around and looked at him.
“Please, Mel. I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you.” He whispered and looked straight into her wide green eyes.
“No.” She said, not trying to look at Matthew, suddenly they heard Gregory speak again.
“But, how are we going to get rid of the witch?” He asked and Matthew held Melinda’s hand tighter.
“Simple.” Mrs. Carrow said. “We kill her.” She stated with a calm voice. Matthew heard Melinda gasp, and held her hand real tight. She then turned to look at Matthew, and threw herself into his arms. He hugged her and gave her a kiss on her head, she then looked up to him.
“Hang here!” She said and let go of Matthew, she moved her hands and got up. She had frozen everyone in the Underworld, she then looked at Matthew and moved her hand, he unfroze.
“What are you doing up? They’ll see you!” He said and quickly got up, but then he saw a smile on her face. “Are you alright?”
“Get up.” She said and handed her hand, Matthew got up and looked around.
“Wow! How did you this?” He asked.
“It’s one of my powers.” She said and went towards Gregory.
“How long do they stay like that?” Matthew asked.
“Depends.” She said.
“On what?” Matthew asked, worried with the thought that they’d notice them anytime.
“On how long I want them to be like that.” She answered and smiled at Matthew, he had never met a girl that risked herself as Melinda did. “Common, help me.” She said as she approached Gregory. Matthew couldn’t stand it anymore, he had to kiss her. So he approached her and turned her around, and kissed her. Melinda kissed him back and then smiled at him. “Common, we have to figure out, Gregory first.” She said, but noticed Matthew kept holding her. “Common, let me go!” She said and smiled, she then kissed him again. “Are you going to let me go now?” She asked and smiled, and Matthew let her go. She approached Gregory and looked at Matthew. “Can you shimer all us back to the attic?” She asked, and handed her hand towards Matthew, who took it and shimered Melinda, Gregory and himself back to the manor.

Awww So sweet! Chris and Wyatt are hilarious! Brilliant story can't wait to read more !!

[~*Alicia*~]

Thanks Honey!

When they got to the attic, Gregory unfroze. So, Melinda let go of him and moved the crystals with her telekynesis and trapped him.
“Let me go!” He yelled and created a fireball, threw it to Melinda but it bounced back to him. “What the hell?” He yelled.
“It’s a crystal cage, the only way to let him out is if somebody on the outside moves the crystals.” She explained to Matthew, who smiled at her.
“You really know a lot about this stuff.” He said. Suddenly Piper came running, she had heard the yells.
“What happened?” She asked, and then saw Gregory inside the cage and then Matthew. “Is he…?” She said and Matthew nodded, he knew that Leo had already told her. Chris and Wyatt and Leo came running behind their mother, they noticed Gregory inside the crystal cage.
“is this your brother?” Wyatt asked Matthew.
“Of course he is! Don’t you see they’re exactly the same!” Chris said and looked at Matthew, he still didn’t like him but he had to live under the same roof with him and his sister was dating him so…
“You’re not going to stop me! I am the most powerful being of magic! You’re not going to stop me!” Gregory yelled and looked at Melinda. “You! You! You are the reason my brother is not going to join me! I am going to kill you as soon as I get out of here!” He said and then turned to look at Matthew. “Falling for a withc, that is the last thing I thought you’d do! At least a mortal but a witch and a Halliwell, you’re a disgrace to our family!”
“No, Greg! You’re the disgrace of the family, not me! You were the one that killed John, you were the one that hurt an inocent, you’re the disgrace, not me!” He yelled back, Gregory looked at Matthew, he had no idea what to answer. No one had ever told him that he was a disgrace, no one. “How do you think mom would feel about you?” Matthew added.
“Matt.” Melinda said. “Leave it there.” She said and got a hold of his arm, she could see that Gregory already felt bad enough.
“No, Melinda. I won’t leave it there. He killed John.” Matthew answered and tears filled his eyes, Melinda looked at him.
“Matt, I am sure he already feels bad enough.” She said and placed her head on his shoulder. He looked at her and then at Gregory, he could see that his brother’s face was suddenly pail.
“Melinda is right.” Piper said and Matthew looked at her. “I am sure he already feels bad enough.” She then turned to look at Wyatt and Chris. “I am going to make some tea, would you like some?” She asked and gave them a look to say yes. She then looked at Leo. “We’ll be downstairs.”
“That’s fine.” Leo nodded and saw Piper and his sons leave the room. He then looked at Melinda and Wyatt.

THIS IS AMAZING!!

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Brilliant Update Alicia Still loving it!!!

[~*Alicia*~]

Melinda quickly got Matthew’s hand.
“I know what you’re thinking, dad.” She said and Gregory started to pay attention. He was hoping that Leo would make them split so he could kill the witch and get his brother to join him.
“I am not going to forbid you to be together.” Leo said. “But I will have to set some rules.”
“Of course, sir.” Matthew said and Gregory got up from the floor.
“What? Are you really going to let your daughter be with a demon? Come on, Leo. I thought you were smarter!” Gregory yelled.
“Shut up!” Melinda yelled and threw a potion at the edge of the crystals. Gregory yelled in pain.
“Melinda!” Leo yelled.
“Sorry, dad.” She said. “Sorry, Gregory.”
“That’s better.” Leo said and looked at Melinda who once again took Matthew’s hand. “I am no one to forbid you to be together, but there’ll be rules. One, not kissing when either me or Piper are in front of you. Two, no sneaking into each other’s bedroom at night and three..’ He stayed quiet for a while and then looked at Matthew. “Matthew must be present for every family dinner and event that there is, after all he’ll be staying with us for a while.” Leo finished and smiled. Melinda ran towards him and hugged her father.
“Thanks, daddy.” She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She then turned to look at Matthew, who came towards Leo and stretched out his hand, Leo shook it. Gregory looked at the whole scene.
“Too much love.” He yelled and Melinda turned around.
“Hello, brother-in-law.” She said and smiled at Gregory, whose face went red. Matthew laughed and smiled at Melinda.
“What do we do about him?” He asked, and Melinda looked at him and then at Gregory. She smiled.
“Whatever you want.” She answered, after all Gregory was Matthew’s brother. It was not up to her. Matthew looked doubtful, in one hand he was his brother, and on the other he knew that he wanted to hurt Melinda. He then looked at Leo.
“What do you think we should do, sir?” He asked.
“Please, call me Leo. And, I would suggest something that is smart, and avoids an attack tonight, you know how your mom wants every family dinner to be demon free, Melinda.” He said and turned to leave.
“Yes, dad.” She said and smiled as she saw her dad walk away, she then looked at Gregory. “What should we do about him? If we send him back to the Underworld her’ll attack but if we keep him here, demons will come.” She said a in a doubtful voice and Matthew looked at her.
“Mel, come here.” He said and opened his arms, Melinda went towards him and smiled. He kissed her head.
“What should we do about your brother?” She asked.
“I don’t know, maybe we should try to talk to him.” He said and Melinda looked up.
“Are you sure?” She asked looking at him.
“I am sure.” He said and Melinda turned to leave, but Matthew held her back and kissed her.
“For heaven’s sake!” Gregory said and Melinda and Matthew turned to look. “Can you two be of each other for a sec?” He yelled and Melinda looked at him and then at Matthew.
“See you later.” She said and was about to leave the room.
“No, wait.” Matthew said. “Whatever I say to him, you can listen.”
“It’s family talk.” She said and smiled at him, she imagined how freaked out Matthew must feel right now but he had to talk to his brother. She then left the attic and Matthew looked at Gregory.

Mel is awesome

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Brilliant update!! Keep 'em coming!!!

[~*Alicia*~]

Thanks Honey! Thanks jate! You're both really sweet I am going to bless you both.

“Are you going to let me out of here?” Gregory asked, and quickly stood up.
“No.” Matthew said. “You’re staying in there, Greg. You’re to dangerous.” Matthew said and gave a severe look to his brother.
“Me? Dangerous?” Gregory laughed. “That witch has messed with your head.” He said and laughed.
“You better start calling her Melinda. That witch has a name.” Matthew said, and Gregory looked at him.
“You’re not serious about being with her?” Gregory said and Matthew gave a sever look to him. “You gotta be kidding me?” Gregory yelled and Matthew looked at him.
“I don’t think that me being with Melinda is any of your bussiness.” Matthew said in a very serious tone of voice.
“It is my bussiness, you’re my brother.” Gregory said and a twisted smile was shown on his face.
“John was your brother and that didn’t stop you from killing him.” Matthew said, he had been repressing that feeling for so long that now, having Gregory in from of him he couldn’t help to burst his feelongs out. “And I sware that if you dare to touch Melinda, you are dead, I don’t care you being my brother because as far as I am concerned, you aren’t part of my family, not anymore.” Matthew said and now he sounded really mad. Chris was on the hallway that led to the attic. He had orbed there after Melinda left to hear if Matthew was really a good guy or just pretended to be. When he heard Matthew say that he was convinced that he really cared about his sister.
“What are you doing here?” Wyatt’s voice said behind Chris. Chris turned to look.
“Um, I. What re you doing here?” Chris asked back.
“I….um…just…” Wyatt mumbled.
“You came to spy on Matthew, didn’t you?” Chris said and looked at Wyatt, whose face went red.
“And you’re here because…?” Wyatt asked Chris.
“Fine, I am here to spy on Matthew as well.” Chris said looking at Wyatt. Suddenly their cousin Penelope *Phoebe’s eldest daughter* appeared.
“You two need to get a life.” She said, smiling. “Have you seen Mel?” She asked and looked around.
“In her room.” Wyatt said and looked at her.
“Thanks.” She said and teleported to her cousins’s bedroom. Melinda was laying on her bed with her eyes closed, she was waiting for her mother or father or brothers or boyfriend to walk into her room. “Wow! Somebody must be tired today.” Penelope said and Melinda looked up.
“Penny, not now!” She said and looked at her cousin. “I am tired.” She said and turned around.
“Rise and shine.” Penny said and smiled. “Come on, Mel! I’ve to tell you something.” She said.
“Can it wait?” She said and looked at her cousin, Penny looked a lot like Phoebe, although her hair was a little bit blonder.
“No, it can’t.” Penny answered and sat next to Melinda.
“Penny, I am tired, I haven’t got much sleep and I really want to, so why can’t you tell me tonight?” Melinda answered, she was now very upset. She then saw Penny’s face it was pale and she pointed behind Melinda, who turned to look. There was a demon there and all Melinda did was move her hands and the demon was shoved up in the air and then blew up.
“Hey, I wanted to get rid of him!”Penny said. “I am dying to try my new power.” She said and looked at her cousin. “Wanna hear what my new power is?”
“Right now no. But I am sure that you’re going to tell me anyway, so hit it.” Melinda answered.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with you, Mel. You are so cranky today.” Penny said and looked at Melinda, she then giggled and continued. “Well my new power is…astral projection.” Penny said in excitement.
“Good for you!” Melinda said, hoping that she’d leave soon. She loved her cousin but she wanted to rest.
“You’re not happy for me are you?” Penny asked and looked at Melinda.
“I am, believe me. I am just tired.” Melinda andswered and Penny looked at her, she then sighed.
“Fine, I’ll finish telling you at dinner.” Penny said and looked at her cousin, she was an empath and for a second she felt her cousin’s tiredness.
“Great, there’s someone I’d like you to meet.” Melinda said thinking of Matthew.
“OK, I am looking forward to it then. Bye.” Penny said and teleported out. Melinda looked around and finally closed her eyes, she was so tired!

[jate88]

Yay a semi-fresh character to spice it up a bit not saying it was bad before but it's nice she was mentioned. How involved is she going to be in the story?

Is Gregory his brother's keeper?

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Loving it as per usual!

I can see a lot of Phoebe in Penny its quite funny she's a cute character!

[~*Alicia*~]

Meanwhile Matthew was looking at Gregory with fierce eyes. Gregory looked at him.
“Common, Matt! I am your brother, you can not hate me forever.”Gregory said and looked at him. Suddenly Gregory’s eyes widened and a smile was all over her face and then pointed behind Matthew. Matthew turned to look and saw 2 demons and a warlock behind him. He then created a fireball on one of his hands and looked at Gregory, whose smile was big and wide. “Sorry, Matt. But if I have to kidnap you to make you understand, I will you belong down there with me.” He said and looked at the demons. “Get him!” He yelled and Matthew threw the fireball to one of them and the other one to the warlock, who dodged it. Matthew was then caught by one of the demons and then shimered away, the warlock then let gregory out of the crystals.
“What shall we do about him?” The warlock asked and Gregory’s smile turned evil.
“Just keep him safe, we need him.” Gregory said. “Now about my dear sister in law, I can take care of her.” He added and shimered. Wyatt and Chris heard everything and looked at each other, they quickly orbed into her sister’s bedroom. Melinda was there, they looked at her and waited for every single movement inside the room. Melinda rolled and snuggled, Wyatt looked at her. Chris looked at his watch.
“Gregory should’ve attacked by now, don’t you think?” Wyatt asked, but suddenly Chris was thrown across the air and unto the wall, Wyatt looked at a point in the wall and looked at Gregory appearing. Wyatt threw Gregory against the wall, melinda woke up. Wyatt looked at her.
“Mel! Freeze!” He yelled and Melinda moved her hands, Gregory was frozen into the same spot he was thrown into. Wyatt helped Chris up and Melinda looked at them.
“What?” She asked, now freaking out.
“Mel, believe us. We heard how Gregory got Matthew kidnapped and sent him to the Underworld and then we heard how he said he’d get rid of you. We gotta get you out of here.” Wyatt said and looked around. “But we gotta stay and control Gregory.” He said looking at Chris.
“Paige!” Chris yelled and Paige orbed in.
“Who do I have to heal now?” She said and suddenly saw Gregory froze. “Hey, why is Matthew frozen?” She asked.
“He is not Matthew.” Wyatt said and looked at Paige. “He is Gregory.” He stated and Paige’s face went pale.
“I knew this would happen.” She whispered.
“Knew what?” Melinda asked and looked at her aunt.
“No tim, aunt Paige. Get her out of here.” Wyatt said and Melinda was about to say something when her aunt orbed her out. The moment she left Gregory unfroze.
“Where’s Melinda?” He yelled creating a fireball on his hand.
“It’s none of your bussines.” Wyatt said and threw him unto the wall again. Gregory got up and looked at Wyatt and Chris and then laughed.
“I am going to find her and then kill her no matter what.” He said. “After all I am sure she’ll go and try to save her dear boyfriend.” He said and laughed he then shimered. Wyatt looked at Chris. They both loked worried.

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Oh lovin it still Alicia!! I want more!!!

[p3xocharmedonexop3]

this story is great! i love it!

[~*Alicia*~]

Paige and Melinda orbed inside a house. Paige looked around and a girl that looked a lot like Paige appeared out of nowhere.
“Hey, mom. Hey, Mel.” The girl said and looked around, she saw Melinda in her pijamas and couldn’t stop a giggle.
“Peyton!” Paige said severly.
“Sorry, mom!” She said and looked at Melinda.
“Can Melinda stay here for a while? “ Paige said and looked at her daughter.
“Sure.” Peyton answered and looked at her cousin.
“Well right now she needs to rest. I am sure your aunt Piper will call so tell her Melinda is here and safe. That will calm her a little.” Paige said looking at Peyton, she then turned to look at Melinda. “I will talk to you about Matthew later. I’ll see what I can find out. Don’t do anything crazy till then.” She said and orbed away. Peyton looked at her cousin.
“Mel, are you alright?” She asked. “And who’s Matthew?” She said and looked at her cousin now more interested.
“I am fine, PH.” She said and tried to smile but if what her brothers said was true then Matthew was in serious trouble. She looked at her cousin. “Where’s your sister?” She asked changing subject, she did not want to talk about Matthew with her 13 year old cousin.
“At Vanessa’s house” Peyton answered. “She went for a sleep over” She explained. Melinda looked at her.
“Can I use your room?” She said and looked at Peyton. “I need to rest”
“Sure” Peyton said. “You know where it is”
“Thanks” Melinda answered and hurried into her cousin’s room. She sat down on the bed and started to cry, she had a rough night and now a rough day. Suddenly Henry knocked on the door.
“Hey, Mel” He said and sat on a chair next to the bed, he saw her cousin cry and that was not a thing Melinda did every day. “Mel, are you alright?” He asked and quickly went to hug her.
“No, I am not alright, Henry. Why do you think I am crying then?” She said and felt how her cousin hugged her. Suddenly Penny and the sister that followed her, Patricia, teleported in.
“Mel, Chris called me and told me you were here. Honey, I hate seeing you like that” Penny said and went to hug her cousin. Patricia stood there and saw her sister and cousins there, she went to look for Peyton, they were the same age. She thought that was a more teen moment. Melinda then looked at Penny and Henry, she wiped the tears of her face and gave them a quick smile.
“Does this have something to do about the guy you like?” Penny asked and Melinda looke at her.
“Sometimes I hate that you are a empath” Melinda said and looked at Penny, whose cheeks blushed. Henry looked at Melinda.
“what guy?” He asked suspiciously and then tickled Melinda’s stomach. Melinda’s cheeks blushed.
“A guy” She said and smiled to her cousins.
“Well, are we going to meet him?” Penny asked.
“Yeah, I want to make him know that if he hurts my cousin he is a dead guy” Henry said and Melinda laughed.
“You guys make me feel so much better, when I am around you” She said and looked at her cousins. “Can I ask you for a favor?”
“Sure”Henry said.
“Anytime” Penny answered.
“Can you take me down to the Underworld?” Melinda asked and waited for her cousins response.
