Chapter 4- Permanently Charmed
3rd Person POV
The sisters and Leo were staring horrified at the screen. Piper looked over to Chris and Melinda on the couch. "You're my kids?!" Mel and Chris nodded slowly. "Chris how come you never told us any of this?" Leo asked, concerned. "Yeah, like you would go to the past and tell you're parents, hey I'm your kid that you haven't had yet but trust me I'm yours." Chris said in an exasperated voice. Melinda started sitting up and then fell back onto the couch, unconscious. "I'll take her up. She's probably remembering everything." Chris said, picking her up off the couch and carrying her up the stairs.
When he got back down that's when the serious questioning started.
Mel's POV
I woke up in my room. It looked lighter than usual. Then I remembered that I was still in the past. Wyatt didn't have me. Memories started flowing through my head. I got memories from before I was 11. This is good. I tried sitting up and I found that I have the strength to do it this time. When I walked downstairs I saw that everyone is waiting for me. Chris is sitting there looking worried. "What's going on?" I asked. "Melinda, do you remember what happened last night?" Piper asked. Wait, how did she know my name? "No. And wait how do you know my name?" I asked back. Piper looked at Phoebe. She came up to me and put her hands out. I knew that Phoebe was trying to show me what happened so I took them. I saw what happened last night. So that's how I retrieved my memories.
I looked around and everybody was looking at me expectantly. "Well what do you want me to do about it?" I asked raising my hands up and, accidentally, blowing up a chair, I shrugged it off. Let's face it we all knew it would happen sooner or later, "I did not have a choice as whether to come into this world or not, you did. I just had the choice of how to live my life. One sec." I said. I grabbed a knife from off the counter and threw it at a lamp. However, it wasn't a lamp. The minute the knife sank in, the lamp shape shifted into a demon. "You should watch out for those. Very sneaky." I said. Everybody stared in awe at what I had just done. I turned my back and Chris tensed. "What's wrong Chris?" I asked. He didn't say anything. He just walked over to me. When he reached me he put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around forcefully. I couldn't see but I felt his fingers lift my shirt away from my scar on my shoulder. I gulped, waiting for the lecture. "Melinda, what is this?! Did he do this to you?" He asked me. "Yes." I responded. I felt a warm sensation on my shoulder and sighed. I turned around and his face was still deep in concentration. "You should have told me." He said. "I didn't want you worrying or blaming yourself." I rebutted. "Melinda you could have been seriously hurt because I wasn't there to protect you." He said.
"Chris I was seriously hurt. You have no clue what I've been through! It was killing me!!! I COULDN'T FIND YOU AND I WAS POWERLESS! WITH HIM!!!!!" I yelled louder than needed. I breathed heavily and looked around. I quickly exited the room, not wanting anybody's sympathy.
2 hours later and I was laying in my room. Piper came in and sat on the edge of the bed. "You know he was going to find out eventually." She said. I knew that but I thought it wouldn't be for a while longer. "Look," she started "apparently you're my daughter. I want to get along with you. So, when you're ready to talk I'm ready to listen." I looked straight at her and nodded. I started sitting up and then screamed in pain, holding my shoulder. I went to a mirror and looked in. The scar was back. "Should have known." I said. "You should have known what?" Piper asked, coming over to look in the mirror with me. "I should have known it wouldn't be that easy. This scar is protected with magic. It'll always reappear, no matter how many times it's healed. And it'll hurt even more each time it does reappear." Piper looked terrified. She should be. "I'll tell Chris tonight." I said. She nodded and left the room. I lay back on the bed. Why does my life suck so much? Why did Wyatt turn evil? Can he be saved? These were the questions I ask myself, slowly lulling myself into sleep.
I woke up to somebody shaking me. Chris. I looked at the clock. "It's 1 in the morning what are you doing?" I yelled in a whisper. "We need to talk. I need you to tell me what he did to you." He said. I knew that this would come eventually. I sighed and nodded. I told him all about my time in the citadel. I told him about Adam and how Lily died. I told him about how I'd found our cousins and how I'd gone to the good past. When I was done he sat there for a while thinking it through. It was 3am. "There's something else." I said. He looked at me curiously. I turned around and showed him my shoulder. I felt his fingers graze it over and, strangely, it didn't hurt. "It's magically protected. It'll never go away permanently." I said. When I turned back around he was looking at me. I saw tears in his eyes. He pulled me into a tight hug, "I'm so sorry Mel. If I had known I never would have left." He said weeping into my shoulder. I told him that it was okay but he refused. When I went back to sleep me was still sitting next to me.
The next morning I woke up and Chris was gone. I smelled bacon and went downstairs for breakfast. "Morning." I said as I sat down at the table. "Morning." Chris responded. I took the salt and started dumping it all over my eggs. "Mel what are you doing. You're 18 that's not healthy for you." Chris said. I glared at him. "Wrong I'm 19. And you don't control me." I said putting the salt down. Chris had a confused look on his face. He may have left only 8 months ago but I hadn't seen him in a year. "Chris I turned 19 a few months ago." I said. It was true. I turned 19 4 months ago. He looked embarrassed. I could see he felt guilty about that. I got up and went into the living room, done with breakfast. Chris and the others followed me. We heard a crash and turned around. A portal appeared on the wall and out of it ran 4 demons and 3 very familiar figures.
