Here's a little bit more...this will end Part Two. But there will be a part three.




"I am so proud of you Mel." said Harrison with his arms around her.

She wiped away a tear and said, "I didn't think I'd be able to do it. All my life I waited for that moment, and then when it came I felt like I was powerless."

Harrison smiled a little, "That's how I feel everytime I'm near Wyatt. Just with him there's nothing I can do."

Melinda nodded sadly. That was the downside of going back. If their spell didn't work, and Wyatt did remember everything that had happened, they wouldn't have a future. There was a lot riding on the fact that they worded this spell right and channeled their inner power. This worried Melinda, she had so much faith in Harrison, but after what she had just been through she didn't know how well she would be in channeling more power. She was drained already.

"Why don't you get things ready for the spell while I rest for a minute. This will probably take a lot out of us. Portal conjuring is big stuff, and then there's the whole memory wash part of it." said Melinda as Harrison nodded and started to get things prepared.

A few moments later he returned to her side and helped her up off of the ground. They wen't over the incantation a few times and then got in their places. This was it.

"Earth, water, fire, air. Aid us in this task we dare. Take us back to our home, where safety's gone and evils roam. One last point we wish to make, erase the Twice blessed's mind of our mistake. With the power of the crystal and our inner potential, set us free. As we will, so mote it be!" they chanted loudly. The crystal glowed a bright red and before they knew it a mystical portal opened up in front of them.

They grabbed their things and without hesitation jumped into the shimmering gateway to return to a world where evil ruled all and pain and suffering was constant.

Appearing in Melinda's apartment, the couple stood in silence. Mel got into a fighting stance, waiting for any sign of trouble. The portal had worked just fine, but that wasn't to say that Wyatt was affected by the other part of the spell. She prayed silently, if the spell didn't work she was done for. That wasn't how Melinda wanted to die, not like her mother. She wanted a long healthy life, but in this world that was a little much to ask.

The moments passed and their was no sign of any trouble. No demons shimmered in, and Wyatt's aura seemed normal. They had really done it. Melinda wrapped her arms around Harrison's neck and hugged him tightly. She was so relieved. They could finally rest, for a little while anyways.

"I can't believe it worked." she exlaimed breaking away from the huge.

"I had no doubt in my mind. You're a lot stronger than you think Melinda." Harrison complimented her with a smile.

"Harrison about what happened..." she started.

"I know. You were vulnerable and I was there. Don't worry about it Mel. You have more important things to worry about then my feelings." said Harrison looking down at the floor.

"No. I've been holding back for too long." Melinda said before grabbing him by the shirt and pulling him into her bedroom and closing the door.

They made love, and it was a heat unlike any either of them had ever felt in their life. Melinda was head over heals in love as was Harrison. This was something Melinda never thought she'd ever be able to accomplish, but she had. She hadn't been this happy since before her mother passed away.

Melinda laid under the covers, resting her head on Harrison's bare chest. She ran her fingers over the outline of his tatto. He had been born with it. It was a swirl of flames with an eye in the middle, located right in the center of his chest. It intrigued Melinda.

"So, you never found out what it stands for?" she asked him.

Running a hand through her hair he replied, "Not really. My parents did some research when I was a baby, but they mainly think it just stands for my powers of heat."

Melinda nodded and just laid there with him. He was so warm, and with him she felt like she was safe. Harrison was everything to her.


Little did they know, the tattoo and their love for eachother was part of something much greater. Dark times were upon them, but if the events could be played out right good just might prevail....


To be Continued...

Thanks! I'm working on an update!

Part Three

Shattered


The Twice Blessed Child, Source of All Evil, Wyatt Halliwell, paced back in forth in his hellish cavern. There was something seriously wrong going on, and he could not figure out what it was. He was missing a full day's memory, and he could sense that something pivotal had happened. Something had happened that somebody didn't want him to know about, and that angered him greatly.

Wyatt waved his hand and his demonic seer appeared in dark orbs. She looked around for a moment, unsure where she was, then rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you want my liege?" she asked lazily.

"Don't have an attitude with me Seer. You won't be seeing anything if you do." he threatened and made a hand motion immitating the gouging of her eyes.

She instantly changed her demeanor. "Yes master. I do not know what came over me. Clearly you have a great importance for my being here. I should not have questioned it."

"I sense something has happened, but my memory has somehow been blocked so I can't figure out what it is." Wyatt explained.

The Seer closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again. "Do you remember murdering your father?"

Wyatt's eyes got wide. Surely, he would remember something like this. Something so big couldn't be forgotten just by a spell. Wyatt was too strong for a normal charm to affect him. There was something going on. He wasn't exactly sure yet, but he was on the right track...



Melinda lay with Harrison on the sofa in the living room of her bay side apartment. They were sitting down watching tv, and she felt so relaxed. They hadn't been attacked for over two weeks. Mel also knew that this probably meant something was taking Wyatt's attention away. That something could be the memory they had taken from him.

But, she promised herself she wasn't going to worry today. All she wanted was a stress free day with the love of her life. So far, she was getting exactly what she wanted. Harrison put his arm around her and kissed her forhead. She loved the softness of his lips. Hell, she loved everything about him.

"I was thinking Mel...I mean I know you wanted a worry free day or whatever, but this is important. As I'm sure you're well aware...tomorrow's the day. " said Harrison looking down at her.

"I know...you're right." he was talking about the date of the Charmed Ones deaths. It was tomorrow. "I just hate thinking about that day. You think he would do something...I mean that day hurt him just as much as me."

"But he's evil now....he could see tomorrow as a day of extreme torture for you. And you know him, he'll do anything to make people suffer." Harrison added.

Melinda nodded sadly. "What can we do though. Its just me and you. Chris...." she couldn't even say his name.

Harrison knew this was a touchy subject with her. She had never really told him much about the day he left though, but Melinda remembered it all to well....



Melinda stood facing her older cousin, and her only true family member left. She could not believe what he was about to do. How could he leave her like this.

"Mel, its the only way. If I don't go, we'll all die." explained Chris was he rushed around the room getting together some things.

"We'll all die if you do go! You're the only one strong enough to fight him!" she pleaded. She couldn't do this without him.

"I know this is hard for you, but I don't have a choice. I can change all of this, Bianca and I.." Mel cut him off.

"Her. This is about her isn't it. You're listening to a witch assasin who tried to kill me! Chris stop and think. She works for Wyatt, and she's sleeping with you! Don't you think that maybe he put her up to this. Maybe he had her tell you to go to the past so you weren't in his way anymore!" Melinda shouted.

"She was forced to side with Wyatt. She's good Mel, and in case you didn't notice....she didn't kill you. Bianca didn't kill you because she loves me. Bianca belives in me, and you need to too." Chris said.

"I can't do this alone...their all gone. You can't leave." pleaded Melinda.

"Melinda, you have no idea how incredible you are. I just need you to be strong for .."

"Don't say it." interrupted Mel.

"Say what?" asked Chris unsure of what she meant.

"Mom said the same thing to me before.." she couldn't even say it.

"I have to go Mel. I love you, and don't let him scare you. You're stronger than you know." said Chris making his way to the door.

"Walk out that door and I'll never forgive you." Melinda said angrily.

Chris sighed and looked down to the floor. "I'm sorry you feel that way." and he orbed out.




The truth was, Mel did forgive him. She knew that he was going to change all of this. She just wished she could tell him. And she would soon find out that the chance to do so was drawing near...

[GThe4thCharmedOneR]

"Harrison, what I am I doing just sitting here?" she asked, "I live in a world of fear and terror and death and I'm just sitting here doing nothing. I shouldn't be sitting here relaxing. There are mortals and witches everywhere being hunted down and killed by my cousin. I shouldn't be sitting and doing nothing because he isn't focussed on me. I should be figuring out how to help the people he is after."

"You deserve a break...but you're right. We should be helping the other witches. More and more are dying each day. We have to do something." encouraged Harrison.

Melinda sat and thought for a moment. What could they do? Obviously they had to help the other witches, but first they had to find them. Things had changed a lot since Chris left, and the good magical community wasn't organized anymore. It would be a challenge, but maybe she could force a premonition to find someone.

"Harrison, go check with some of your sources. I'm need to concentrate. Maybe I can get a premonition, or at least sense another witch nearby." she said.

He nodded in agreement and teleported out in a burst of heat. Melinda took a spot on the floor and closed her eyes.




Wyatt stood in front of his main council of demonic assasins. He was very close to regaining his memory, but there was another matter he had to deal with first. A small band of witches had interferred with a raid he had done on an orphanage the other day.

Wyatt believed in ridding the world of mortals, and since Chris went to the past he had been successfully doing so. There was always Mel who would try to stop him, but she worked more secretly than the ones who had attacked the other day. He had a lot going on right now, and he didn't need those insolent beings getting in the way.

Only a week prior, he had almost succeeded in bringing his brother back to this time, but Chris still had that special something that allowed him to always escape. Not to mention that Bianca had given up her life for him. It was too bad, she was a good assassin. Wyatt didn't worry though, he knew that he would succeed in the end....as long as the prophecy didn't come to pass, but he was already sure that it wouldn't.

"I have called you all here to assign a clean and sweep job. There is a small band of witches, as some of you may know, who tried to stop the raid yesterday. I want them killed and and their powers stolen. I will decide who gets them if I do not wish them for myself. I believe they have a whitelighter with them also." he paused and conjured a darklighter arrow. He had already vanquished all the darklighters, they posed a slight threat to him. "Take care of him, and the witches. I want Cranaan and Xona to take their teams. If you need help, which you better not, you know how to reach me."

The demons all nodded before shimmering out. Maybe Wyatt would pay a small visit if he wasn't busy. He hadn't watched a good massacre in a while.




Melinda sat on her floor. She had been sitting there in silence for almost an hour now, and hadn't had any success. It was hard, considering she didn't really know who she was looking for. This was one of those moments where she felt as if there weren't any hope for a better world. She didn't like thinking that way, but sometimes she just did. The thought was always present somewhere in her mind.

This place was just getting worse by the day, hell, by the hour. Humans were being murdered constantly, and witches who tried to resist were killed too. Evil lurked in every alley, every dark corner. It was something that most people would never be able to understand unless the felt what it was like to live there. The pain that every person felt was like a needle to Mel's heart. Being a telepath, she felt not just her pain, but other's pain also. Sometimes she just wished she could hide away in the closet and never come out, but she didn't have that luxury. Melinda was a fighter, and she wasn't going to rest until the people around her were safe. Melinda was just like her mother.

As she sat on the soft rug of her apartment, she suddenly felt a premonition jolt into her mind. There was a group of witches in an abandoned warehous. Melinda knew some of them. Then all of the sudden demons started shimmering in. A battle started and the witches were losing. She could sense the pain and fear of the witches, but also the pleasure of the demons. Mel was pulled back to reality, and she instantly jumped up and got ready. She had to act quick.

She casted her mind out and called for Harrison. It was only a few moments before he teleported into the room.

"I had a premonition. Some of Wyatt's assassins are going to attack some witches. Some we know. We don't have a lot of time. I'm gonna grab some of my extra potion, and then we're going." she explained as she did so.

Moments later the two of them teleported to the warehouse....

[GThe4thCharmedOneR]

Harrison and Melinda reformed in a swirl of heat energy. A witch nearby jumped up from her seat. It was Keera. Melinda knew her. Keera let down her guard once she saw that it was only Mel and Harrison.

"Mel...what is it? I haven't seen you since.." Keera started but was interrupted by Melinda.

"We don't have much time. Wyatt is sending some of his assassins here. Do you have any idea why he would be attacking you?" Melinda asked in a hurry.

"We stopped one of his raids the other day. I know it was dangerous, but it was an orphanage...I couldn't just let him.." Keera stopped not wanting to finish the sentence.

"I understand...get the others and call your whitelighter. If you have any spare potions or vanquishing spells you better get them ready because this is going to be big." Melinda instructed her friend.

"Their all back here..." said Keera pointing to a door. She opened it up and walked inside to inform the other witches of the matter at hand. She returned a few minutes later with six other witches and a whitelighter who orbed in.

"Okay, circle formation. If the circle breaks, make it smaller. We need to play this defensively." said Harrison. He was good at battle strategy.

The small group did so and Jack, the whitelighter, stood in the center because he had no active powers. He stood, ready, should he have to heal anyone. Then, just as Melinda had forseen, the assassins shimmered in one by one.

Keera, who had the ability to kinetically charge objects so that they explode upon contact, threw a ball at a demon that vanquished it on the spot. Then all hell broke loose. A large demon sent a seismic blast at the circle of witches and they were scattered around the room.

A young witch was cornered by two demons, but she managed to vanquish one with and athame that she conjured. That wasn't enough, for the other demon drove his claws deep into her stomach. A male witch named Chad shouted in sadness before shapeshifting into a tiger and devouring the demon.

Melinda looked around frantically. Her premonition was playing out just like it did before. Vowing not to let that happen, sent a telekinetic blast the sent a large number of demons breaking through the wall. Another hell spawn approached from behind and, using the skills her mother had taught her, she performed a spin kick that brought the creature to the floor. She then tossed a vanquished potion to end its existance.

Harrison was completely surrounded. He had to do something to get himself out of this. Melinda was too busy and she didn't need to save his ass. All of the sudden he felt something within take over his body. He furiously brought up his hands and when he did so a cirlce of flames enveloped around him and incinerated the demons. He quickly moved on to help Keera and Melinda.

The demon Xona stood and watched the melee from a distance. She was with no doubt the strongest demon in the room, and her team wasn't doing as well as she expected. Then again, she hadn't expected the Source's younger cousin to arrive with her boy toy either. It was no skin off of her back though, they would be dealt with. Deciding to take charge, she walked forward into the battle. First things first, she hurled the darklighter arrow straight at the whitelighter, and she grinned as it made its way toward him.

Melinda felt the arrow pass by her and instinctively shot out her hand. The bolt stopped, mere inches from Jack. She guided it into her hand and looked upon the demon who had thrown it. Mel could sense her power, but it didn't frighten her. This bitch would be dead in no time.

"Good catch, but you're just delaying the inevitable." Xona called out.

"I strongly disagree." countered Melinda defiantly.

"I see stubborness runs in the family. Very well, this would be fun.." Xona looked upon her demons and they all shimmered out and reappeared behind her. "Here's the deal. You and me right now. When I kill you, we slaughter the rest of these filthy witches. If in some way you kill me, we leave and Wyatt can kill you some other time."

Mel didn't think she could trust the demon, no, she knew she couldn't trust her. But, it was the only option she had. Besides, Mel knew she could kick this demon's ass.

Harrison sent telepathic warning, and Mel heard it loud and clear. But, she had to do this.

"Deal." said Melinda. Keera, Harrison, and the rest of the suriviving witches moved back. As did the remaining demons.

Without any further ado, Melinda launched herself into the air and shot out her leg at Xona. The demon was ready and her hands became eveloped in green energy as she used superstrength to punch Mel into through a stack of crates. It hurt like hell.

Jumping up quickly and ignoring the pain Melinda shot out her hand and forced Xona backward into a conveyer belt. Angrily, she regained her balance and sprinted toward the witch. A head on, hand to hand battle started. Each one of them getting in a good series of punches and kicks. It was like they were and even match, and the battle would last forever. Then, just as Melinda pulled a vanquishing potion from her pocket dark orbs swirled and formed the body of her older cousin.

Wyatt looked angrily at the scene. He furiously telekinetically orbed Mel painfully backward. He then looked upon Xona. Not only was she his assassin, but his partner. She was the second strongest demon next to him.

"You had strict orders. I can't risk you dying." he shouted before orbing her back into the underworld.

Melinda was pulled up by Harrison and Keera who supported her.

Wyatt turned around to face them. "Now, to deal with you"

[Astral Echo]

What can I say, amazing, wonderful, fantastic, amazing... wait a minute I've said that, oh well, wonderful, amazing, fantastic, sensantional!

It was truely Wicked, come on Melinda, post next part ASAP! I am dieing to know the out come!

Dan

[GThe4thCharmedOneR]

Wyatt looked upon his cousin and changed his demeanor from that of anger to a huge grin. He did have to give her props. She had a lot of guts to stand up to him like this. She was a lot like her mother, but unfortunately that wasn't going to save her. He thought of what a great assassin she would have made, but then decided to get the show on the road.

"You must really like pissing me off." he commented.

"Yeah, its fun to watch you squirm." Melinda replied now supporting herself.

"You're the only one who's going to be squirming little cousin. I think you've forgotten who you're dealing with. I also think that its time I remind you." Wyatt said and with that he threw backwards with a twirl of his hand.

Melinda hit the wall hard and layed on the floor face down.

"No!" Harrison shouted.

"Ah ah ah, down boy. This is her fight." said Wyatt waving his finger at Harrison. He still remembered the day he killed the boy's parents. The best part was watching him come home from school to find his parents bodies on the floor, priceless.

Harrison disobeyed Wyatt and started to make his way over to Mel. Wyatt rolled his eyes then gave Harrison a jolt of electricity that knocked him back.

"I told you to stay away." he said.

Melinda was out cold on the ground. It was as if she were there, but not completely. She felt the pain, and heard everything around her, but she just couldn't find the strength to get up from the floor. Then she felt a great force fill her body. Something primal, and pure good that took over her. She stood up and faced her older cousin.

"Now we're talking." said Wyatt with an evil smile on his face. He loved it when she tried to fight him.

Then Melinda's eyes started to glow a bright pink. She felt a great burst of power, and decided to use it to her advantage. She jerked her hands forward, and all the demons in front of her flew back and hit various obstacles bone breakingly hard. Wyatt, however, stood firmly in the same place as before with his forcefield up. He smiled at her just as before.

"Get them out." Melinda ordered Harrison. Now was the only chance they had to get everyone to safety.

Harrison shook his head frantically at her. "I'm not leaving you."

"GOOO!" Melinda shouted and several boxes and various items broke around the room.

Reluctantly, Harrison gathered up Keera and the other witches and led them to a room deeper into the warehouse.

"Its funny how you always fight when you know you're destined to lose." said Wyatt shaking his head.

"Not this time." said Melinda and she sent a large telekinetic wave at him. To her surprise the twice blessed being was thrown back with great force. It was only moment though before he stood up.

"Where'd that little power surge come from Mel. That actually hurt a little." he said.

Melinda jumped forward and launched a roundhouse kick. It connected, but Wyatt backhanded her away. She then jumped forward telekinetically punched him, this stunned him for a moment and she landed another kick.

"Enough of this." he shouted.

Wyatt then opened his palms and large surging bolts of electricity gripped Melinda's body and held her in the air. It was the most painful thing she had ever felt in her life. Moments later, after blacking out briefly, she found herself on the floor again.

Wyatt stood over her with a high voltage energy ball in his hand. The smile on his face was enough to make Melinda want to die. She had dreaded this day all her life. She didn't want him to have the satisfaction of killing her. What would Chris think? Coming back to the future to find out the one person he had trusted to protect the people was dead. And Harrison, poor Harrison. He loved her so much. She didn't want to leave him. She loved him too much to exist without him.

And that connection between the two of them is what saved her life that day. A flaming body flew forward and sent Wyatt tumbling across the room in a swirl of flames. When the inferno disipated Melinda saw the love of her life standing in front of her. She was too weak to walk, let alone thank him. The last thing she saw before fading from conciousness was his arms embracing her. She then felt heat....

[GThe4thCharmedOneR]

Melinda felt the familar warmth of a whitelighter's healing power as she regained consciousness. Jack, the whitelighter, helped her up and she was instantly embraced by Harrison. She smiled lightly as he did so. He was so sweet.

"You scared me there for a minute." Harrison said after breaking away from their hug.

"Well, you get scared too easily then." she joked.

"Just in case you forgot, we've got the strongest force of evil on this planet pissed off at us right now." said Jack interrupted their moment of laughter.

"You're right...sorry." said Harrison.

Keera then walked into the room, icing her elbow. "So, what are we gonna do now Mel?" she asked.

Melinda looked around and more poeple came into the room. It was as if every one of them were putting their life into her hands. She didn't know if she could handle this, but she knew she had to. There was no one else that could. She then came up with an idea.

"I think its time we get the White Council back together." she said as if it were nothing.

"The Council broke up after your cousin betrayed us." snapped Chad.

"He didn't betray us, and if you want to be negative then you can leave. The Council is our only chance at survival." Melinda expained. "Harrison, I need you to gather the leprachauns, remind them of the time your parents saved them from a group of swarm demons. Keera, do you know anyone who has connections with the fairies?"

A girl stepped forward, "I do, they actually helped me learn to control my power." said Thalia who could throw stunning lights at an enemy.

Melinda nodded, "Okay, Jack you get her there and I need you to gather the whitelighters and Elders."

"Where are we going to meet up?" asked Keera.

"The Bay Mirror, Wyatt won't expect that. The rest of you, I need a cloaking spell ready for when we all arrive there." said Melinda.

"Where are you going?" asked Harrison.

"I've got my own person to recruit." said Melinda and they all set off to do their tasks.





Wyatt orbed into his chamber in the underworld and angrily destroyed a stone gargoyle that adorned the room. Xona had deliberately disobeyed him. It wasn't like her to do something like that. She was the one demon that he could be intimate with, and he thought that she would be careful around Melinda. His cousin was stronger than some of his minions thought, and that would bite a lot of them in the ass if they weren't careful.

He then orbed Excalibur into his hands. It always made him feel better, and that was partly because if was a relic of light. A few moments later he orbed it back into the stone. He was still working on fully transferring into a dark weapon. Sometimes when he used it he had good tendencies and he had to fix that. Wyatt then remembered that he had to deal with the issue at hand.

He made Xona appear with a wave of his hand. She stabled herself after realizing that she had been orbed to his chamber. She then cowtowed slightly.

"Nonsense, I told you not to do that Xona." ordered Wyatt.

"Well, I knew you were angry with my, so I just figured..." said Xona trailing off.

"What you did was extremely stupid and if I wasn't there to save your sorry ass you would be dead right now. I can't let that happen. Not to my queen." he said.

Xona gasped loudly. They had been sleeping with eachother for a while now, but she had never expected this. Not to say it wasn't a good thing, she would love to be the Queen of the Underworld. She smiled before shimmering in front of him and grinning.

"There's time for that later....I have to deal with a memory issue first." he said...





Melinda walked through the door to a dark trailer. All the windows were covered, and it was very dark inside. She could hear a faint mumbling though, and she walked toward that sound. She made her way further into the small home until finally she found who she was looking for.

"Eva?" Melinda asked.

A dark haired woman jumped slightly before turning around. "Melinda you frightened me darling." she said in a slightly Romanian accent.

"Come child, how are you?" Eva asked before embracing her tightly.

"Not so good I'm afraid, so I thought I'd call upon the help of an old friend." she replied.

Eva was a Shuvani, a powerful Gypsy who possessed the evil eye, and unfortunately the only Gypsy still alive. Melinda's mother and aunts had helped her fight a gypsy hunter named Orin once before and since then Eva had been helping with all the magical births in the Halliwell family.

"The Source is getting strong, it is as I feared. Of course I shall help you. We must go, he is fast on your trail." said Eva.

Melinda nodded before leading the way...

[GThe4thCharmedOneR]

Melinda and Eva stood outside the Bay Mirror. She hadn't been here in years, not since her mother had worked here. This building was another reminder of how much the world had changed since that unforgettable day.

Knowing she didn't have a lot of time to dwell on this, she opened the door for Eva and walked inside. they took the stairs to the floor where her mother had worked, since the office was abandoned the elevator didn't work. It looked so empty. Mel still remembered the days when this place was buzzing with busy journalists all working in overdrive to get their columns done. Phoebe had been one of those journalists.

As they walked into the main office, they saw a wide assortment of magical beings waiting for them. Harrison greeted her with a smile, and the leprechauns next to him rolled their eyes. They weren't as carefree as they used to be, not since Wyatt.

"Are you just going to stand there? Or would you like to explain to us the meaning of this gathering?" asked a tall and thing Elder named Remus.

Yup, same old Elders, she thought. "Yes, of course." she then walked into the center of the room so that everyone could see her. "Wyatt is getting stronger by the day. More and more of all of our kinds are getting slaughtered in the process. I say its time we put aside our differences and work together again."

"You mean bring back the White Council?" asked a leprechaun leaning on his cane.

"Yes, I do." Mel answered simply.

"After being betrayed by the one person who ever had a chance a stopping Wyatt?" said Remus.

"We weren't betrayed, and who says that we can't defeat Wyatt." countered Melinda but she knew it wasn't a very good come back.

Remus laughed rudely. "I'm quite sorry my dear, but face the facts. We stand no chance in this fight. The Twice Blessed Child has seized his thrown as leader of the Underworld and before long the whole World. We would be fools to think that good can win under these circumstances."

"If there was one thing I was taught in my life, it was that good can always win. We have the power, we just have to learn how to use it to our advantage." said Melinda with a strong resolve.

"You are a true Halliwell aren't you...that wasn't meant as a compliment either." Remus said, "But, there is one thing my dear. The White Council must have the Enchantment of a Gypsy...and I believe they were all killed."

Eva who had been standing in the doorway now stepped forward. "I am Eva Niccoli a Shuvani of Waffideok."

Remus' eyes went wide. "This cannot be, all the Shuvani's were killed..."

"Not I...The ways of my people have kept me safe these past few years." Eva explained.

"As I said, we have the power." Melinda concluded.

"The Elders agree then." said Hope, another Elder, before Remus could say anything more.

The leprechauns and fairies nodded their heads in agreement also.

"Very well. The White Charm must be performed then." said Harrison.

The fairies then flew high up to the ceiling and started sprinkling glittering puffs of magic around the room. The leprechauns each placed a nugget of gold in a small ring on the floor. They then conjured their rainbows. The Elders formed another outer circle and started an orb of shimmering whitelights. Eva stood in the middle and started chanting in Romanian as her eyes glowed gree. Last but not least the witches formed another out cirlce and chanted, "Power of Goodness rise. Thoughts unseen across the skies. On this day we all unite, to form the Council of the White."

A bright explosion of light went through the room and then slowly dissipated. The White Council was officially back in business.

Wyatt and Xona were having a great time with eachother his in private quarters when out of nowhere the demonic Seer shimmered in. Wyatt angrily turned around and confronted her.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" he asked furiously.

She just looked at him for a moment then said, "I can help you regain the memories that you lost."

This changed everything. With a wave of his hand, all his clothes orbed back onto his body and he got up off of the bed. Folding his hands across his chest, he waited for her to explain what she had just said.

"I had a vision that explained everything to me, and I figured I could share it with you." she said holding her hands out for him.

Wyatt extended his hands and touch them with hers. A bright light emitted from the friction, and his eyes snapped shut as he recieved the vision. In one quick moment the events that his memory had misplaced all flooded back into his mind. Melinda and Harrison attacking him, killing Leo, them going to the Plane of Lost Souls...all of it. The worst of all of Wyatt's fears were starting to come true. When he opened his eyes the twice blessed Source did not look amused.

"It has started."






Melinda sat at her mothers old desk in Bay Mirror. Of course, all of her mother's things weren't here anymore but it still reminded her of how the office used to be. Being here, it brought back a lot of memories. Most of them happy, some of them not, but either way they were memories all the same. Memories that would, thought she didn't know, help her in many ways.

The rest of the witches and magical beings were busy doing tasks that she and the Elders had assigned them. That also reminded Mel of something that she didn't want to remember. The death of her uncle Leo. She hadn't told the Elders that he had been murdered by Wyatt.

"Remus!" Mel called looking up at the ceiling, waiting for the powerful being to orb in.

Appearing, "What is it Melinda?" he asked huffing.

"Leo's dead." she answered simply as she looked down at the desk. A tear slid down of face and his the desktop.

"What? No..it couldn't be.." said Remus. He closed his eyes, searching the Earth for Leo's presence. Moments later he opened them, with no success. "How?"

"Wyatt...Leo was helping me and Harrison escape from him." she explained still not looking up from her mother's desk.

Remus bowed his head in respect for the dead whitelighter. "It seems you truly are the only one left.", he orbed out.





Sorry so short...I;ve been busy
