Past Presence (CND Series Book #2)

Chapter 3- Memories

Hey! So I know I keep changing actresses for Melinda. Sorry. But there are many good choices. The new one is Willa Holland, due to the clip above. Now onto the story! :)

3rd Person POV

"Chris do you have something you would like to tell us?" Piper said with her arms crossed. "I'm you and Leo's son." Chris said uneasily. "What about 'Lindy'? I mean is that even her name?" Leo asked. "Sort of. Her full name is Melinda. Melinda Prudence Halliwell. And yes, she is my little sister." Chris said. "Chris do it now!" The voice from the dresser demanded. Chris brought out a small device and they went to the living room, sitting around the couch, where Melinda lay either dead or unconscious. The transmitter turns on and Chris inserts the disc. An older holographic Paige floats on the table.

"Good, you turned it on. Now point this at Mel." Once that is done Paige starts saying a spell. "In this time and in this hour, I heal Melinda with my power." She says. Melinda's entire body starts to glow and she heals but still lays on the couch, not having enough energy to sit up correctly. Chris walks over to her and sits by her. "But how-" Chris starts but the holographic Paige interrupts him. "Chris I don't have time to explain. This video is going to be long enough as it is, and I might get interrupted by little you anyways. Hello Phebe, Piper, Leo, and me. I am from the future. Now this is to help Melinda get her memories back, because I am about to take them. It's for the best that she not know." She said. A little Chris runs in. "Aunt Paige!" he yells. "Hi Chris. Hey why don't you go and get lunch with Uncle Henry." Chris nods and runs out of the room. Everybody is staring, their mouths agape, at the screen. Older Paige turns back at the screen. "Now where was I? Oh yes, Melinda's memories. Melinda watching what happens after this will bring your memories back. It's not going to be pretty. Piper, Phoebe, Leo, mini me, I'm sorry you have to see this." After saying that she clicks a few buttons and a different video appears on the screen.

Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and Coop are in the attic circling Wyatt. Phoebe is 4 months pregnant with her third child, Charlie. Wyatt is in the middle of the attic, his hair spiked up. Wyatt creates 2 energy balls and sends them flying at Coop and Leo. They erupt into flames and settle to ash. Henry is at home with the twins and Paige is in the upper regions, not being allowed to come down. Next Wyatt brings out less energy balls and throws them at Piper and Phoebe, they are shot back into the wall, dead. "Mommy!" A little girl with light blonde hair screams as she runs into the attic. This little girl is Parker, Phoebe's second child. Parker is 5 years old. She is 2 years younger than her sister Prudence Johanna, or PJ. Wyatt sends lightning towards little Parker and she erupts into flames and turns to ash, just like her father and uncle. Young Melinda runs upstairs with PJ, both stare at the horror laid out before them. Wyatt's eyes are almost dark instead of their normal light blue. They look at their dead parents. PJ beams out with her cupid's ring. Melinda is left staring at her mother, pregnant aunt, uncle, father, and little cousin. All of them either lifeless corpses or turned to ash. Wyatt gets another energy ball ready. Melinda screams, "Wyatt stop!" Wyatt falters for a second. His eyes turning back to normal before going dark again. But, in that split second, Chris heard Melinda. He orbed up and grabbed her, orbing them both out of the attic.

The scene changes. The attic is the same. Ash piles, bodies and all except that Wyatt is no longer here. Paige walks in and looks into the attic cautiously, she shuts the door. As she is inside you can tell that she is pregnant, probably around 9 months. She walks over to Piper and Phoebe and starts to cry. Chris, Mel, and PJ walk into the attic. Peeking in through the door. The creep up to Paige and kneel next to their parents. PJ grabs hold of her mothers hand and starts bawling. Melinda stands back and Chris walks up to his mom. Shutting her open eyes, "Bye, Mom." He says sadly. Paige holds Chris and PJ close to her. She holds her hand out to Melinda, but Mel just backs away. Paige looks at her in sorrow and continues hugging Chris and PJ. Then, Wyatt, 12 or 13 years old, orbs behind Melinda, probably 8 or 9 years old at the time, and grabs her. Melinda screams as Wyatt orbs them both out of the attic. "Melinda!" Chris and Paige yelled at the same time.

The scene changes to just show Mel and Wyatt. They are in the Underworld. Wyatt's eyes are turning light blue. Melinda is tied to a chair. She has fear in her eyes. "Wyatt what are you doing?" she asks him. "I don't know Mellie. I don't know what's happening to me. I don't want to hurt anybody. I need help." He sighs and walks over to Melinda and starts untying her, "what am I doing?" Mel starts rubbing her wrists. "What happened?" she asked, innocently. "I-I-I don't know. Honest. One minute I'm fine. The next I'm thinking up evil plans. Are you alright? Did I hurt you? God, I'm sorry Mellie." He said. Mel didn't respond. Wyatt's eyes turn dark. He starts writhing in pain as it happens. When he gets up his eyes are dark again. These dark eyes last for a while. And they last for a long time, turning Wyatt to his dark side. Mel stares at him, noticing the change. "What's wrong Mellie? Don't you want to have fun?" Wyatt says tauntingly. He uses a small electric bolt and thrusts Melinda into the rock wall behind her. She falls to the ground, her head gushing blood. A demon see's Wyatt and tries to take him down, unaware of the change. Wyatt is momentarily distracted and Chris orbs in next to Melinda. Wyatt turns back around to see him and orbs out saying, "This isn't over."

Chris kneels next to Mel and heals her head quickly. Mel wakes up and immediately hugs Chris. "Don't worry Mel. I'm going to protect you I swear." Chris said, hugging his sister and orbing out of the Underworld.

The screen glitches and shows Paige sitting there. People are knocking on her door, hard. Paige gets up quickly and leans over a crib to fish out a baby. "PJ take Henry Jr. and get out of here." She said. PJ nods, takes HJ, and beams away, never to be found later by her cousins. "Tam, Kat orb! Mel come here." Paige says to her two daughters and niece. Melinda came over and Paige took the tape out. When she handed it to Mel the tape glowed and so did Mel's head. Mel fainted backwards. Paige caught her and whispered in her ear, "you must always keep this tape with you Melinda." Before calling Chris in. She put Mel in his arms and told him where to go, their grandfathers house. As soon as they were gone Paige pulled herself together and answered the door. "Why hello officers how may I help you?" she said. "Paige Martin you are under arrest for being a witch." The officer says as he walks in. Paige is thrust against the wall and the video ends.
