Taking some time off (Mel)

[Chris Halliwell-Wyatt]

((OCC: apologise in advance for the minor god mod of Chris orbing you here ))

Everything that had happened lately through him off balance, all his priorities were wrong, he was just so focus on getting his brother and sister back from the dark side, that he had practically lost contact with the one sister he still had in his reach. Melinda, his baby sister, the sister he practically saw being born (since their mother was at the manor with him alone and he was the one that orbed them to the hospital), the one that despite being closer to Wyatt, he had swore with minutes of life to always be there for her and he was failing badly; this was not the person Chris was, no-uh; Melinda would have special –if she wanted it- dedication coming from her big brother, starting right now, at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Probably not the best place as height concerns, most likely she’s never been here before, but it’s the only place Chris knew that it was sacred for every witchlighter or whitelighter of his family, the highest view of the city gave insight and peace of mind to the eyes of the beholder and that is what he was after, peace of mind, at least for a bit for his baby sister.
Orbing first, Chris sensed his surroundings and his charges, for the time being, they were all alright, now he focused on his sister and knew she was at Magic School, probably devouring the books, with a sigh, he straighten up his posture and waving a hand, Chris orbed his little sister to the bridge, wearing a smile on his lips “Hi sis!”

She’d moved the book of Shadows from her closet after that demon attack when Wyatt had come over, she didn’t know who was sending them but she’d had enough of the attacks and Chris was not around she didn’t know where he was or what he was doing. She wanted to tell him her plans get him in on it and she trusted her big brother she was just worried about him. She was worried maybe he would turn and she was trying to think of ways to prevent that but she didn’t know how, she hadn’t seen signs when Wyatt and Peyton had turned. She felt like her plate was fully which left no free time which sucked because she’d wanted to hunt her brother down and spend some time with him, she couldn’t even remember the last time they’d done a potion together or defeated a demon together, it seems like it had been so long ago.

She’d gone to Magic school to talk to her dad who was probably grading students, she was the only one in her family who couldn’t orb all her siblings could, she always felt like her father had been disappointed in that. I mean all she had were powers from her mother’s side of the family and conjuring was not a common Halliwell power, she just thought of it as a different kind of telekinesis but it wasn’t even that and as far as she knew no one in her family had that power they had to do magic to get something like that. She sat in the library scribbling on a bit of paper, she could have been focussing on her magic but she couldn’t be bothered.

As she went to draw on a bit of white paper everything changed and she found herself with a lot of wind blowing in her hair. She looked up pen still in hand to see her brother smiling at her. She quickly stood up… oh he’d orbed her here, that explained that funny feeling she’d gotten. “Chris”

[/color] she said a little confused before looking around and quickly backed up realising where they were, she was petrified of heights but dealt with the for her siblings and father who used to take her up when he had meetings with the elders, she’d try and catch the clouds. She hit the back of the bridge support “Ah… why did you bring me here?”[/color] she asked looking down the edge a little before her eyes widened and she looked back to Chris again, focus on him, she’d be ok so long as she focused on him. She licked her lips and made a small face “You’ve gotten better at doing that” she said wondering how much he’d been practicing though he’d always been good at that. She was tossing on if she should tell Chris about Wyatt’s visit and the demon attack or the one with Peyton and Wyatt where she’d decided to blow up the cops car by setting them on fire or not, maybe it was best not to say anything for the moment.[/blockquote][/size]

The smile on Chris’ face could not be erased, it was always a good thing to see a family member but when you see yourself in other people’s eyes, that’s different and though Wyatt and Melinda were closer than him and her, she was still his sister.
Chris realized of the fear for heights Melinda had when she was no more than 5 but he kept the secret, well that is until that very moment “Don’t be afraid of the height…or getting seen, no one will…” Affirmed to her as giggling and that far was true, the only ones that could “see” them were elders and other white/witchlighter but neither would interfere at the moment, he would sense either if that would happen “Thanks, I guess” He answered to his sister’s comment on getting better every day with the telekinetic Orbing, he preferred the more angrier, aggressive form of it, the one he got from Grams Penny and Aunt Prue but, how else would he bring her there, right?.
Looking ahead and avoiding eye contact, he sat on the edge of the platform, swing his feet on the air “Have I ever told you the story when you were born?” The young Halliwell sighed and giggled again, looked at her and continued “Dad had taken Wyatt and Peyton to a meeting with the elders… you, mom and me where alone in the manor and well, since me Mom wasn’t able to have natural births anymore so, two weeks before she was supposed to check herself in, you felt like coming out and mom’s water broke… I was three at the time and yet I guess I knew what to do ‘cause I saw mom getting ready your baby bag and I just took her hand and orbed us all to the hospital, of course Dad followed right behind us…”
Chris looked down at the cars passing no less than a mile under them and keeping his head that way as he continued “Wyatt was too afraid to hold you when Dad came with you, Peyton was too little and though you were half of me, I took you in my arms and I remembered making a promise to myself that moment, to be there for you… always…” When he looked at her again, his eyes were filled with tears and they were fighting his way out “… and I failed you… I am so focus on getting Wyatt and Peyton back that I forgot about you…” Sobbing now and sniffing the tears, he stood up and took her hands “I am so sorry”

She knew there was no need to be afraid of heights she was more afraid of the falling bit and not being caught or anything, it’d be a sudden death she knew but not something she wanted to exactly try and do just to see if she would get caught or not. Watching her brother it down she swallowed, how all her siblings were calm with heights was beyond her.

Melinda shook her head, no one had told her about her birth, only that it had just been her mother and Chris in the house at the time and things got messy quickly. She walked over towards him hands out like she was on a beam and slowly got down to her knees before sitting beside her brother letting her legs dangle over the edge. Her hands wrapped around his arm holding onto him tight like a little child afraid of something. She smiled a little “That explains why I am always early” she said. It was rather amazing to hear her brother at the age 3 had orbed them all to the hospital, she wondered if that was the first time he’d ever orbed.

She rested her head on his shoulder wondering why he was watching the cars but ok. She laughed a little, of course Wyatt had been too afraid to hold her she was like a little breakable doll to him. She glanced to her big brother and smiled and shook her head “No Chris… you haven’t” she said feeling a gust of wind under her legs and quickly shuffled back standing up as if afraid that wind was going to blow her away. She hugged her brother “You know why you haven’t failed… cause even before I was born you were there for me and after I was born and so you might not be there all the time but I know you are still there… you’re like my own angel… I call and you come” she added and smiled at him “And I haven’t been the best sister either… I’ve… been thinking and have a few idea’s on what we could do to get them back… doesn’t help that they always drop on by but I could really use your help big brother” she said she had several idea’s up her sleeves some would require Chris though.

Hearing his baby sister say that he wasn’t what he felt should have make him feel better but it didn’t, in his head he had failed and he’d probably never forgive himself for it; Chris is the kind of guy that if he promises something, he’d keep that promise until death finds him; just like he promised Chasity to never forgive her and he never would.

He listened to her and warmth filled his heart but, he never felt like an Angel, he might look like it to his charges but from the change of his brothers to evil and the lost of Chas, Chris felt like his inner demons were winning the battle inside him.

Melinda had a plan, he was surprised but she probably had no idea on what happened the last time Peyton decided to make those sudden appearances so he just told her
“Our sister is getting worst Mel, I can see her good side rising and fighting but every time she does, the Source takes over and she’s unpredictable… last time I saw her, she killed innocents in front of me just to make her stand…”

Standing up straight and wiping the tears off his eyes said in a firm voice
“What do you need me to do?”

((OCC: Chasity is the new charrie Piper created and was -still is in his eyes- Chris' girlfriend))

She nodded and sat down on the top of the bridge again "I know... Wyatt nearly killed her the other day... she blew up some cop cars... I took care of it though" she frowned a little, how could Peyton kill innocents in front of them. She sighed "This is going to sound horrible... but I think we need to take our focus on her for the moment... we are always trying to save our siblings and in the mean time we are loosing more and more cousins, we need to shift our focus... what I'm going to tell you you can not tell anyone... if this plan is put in harm I wont know what to do"

She was not giving up on her siblings she just thought they needed to shift their focus. She thought for a moment and glanced to Chris "I can't live like this anymore Chris... I've been thinking, we need to prevent them from entering the house. Remember that story mum used to tell us when Aunty Phoebe turned evil and she stopped good from getting into the house... I know Wyatt and Peyton have a home with us but I don't want to live in fear anymore I want to block them out, block out the evil so they can't get in and try harm us, our innocents, the family and friends"

She was waiting for Chris to yell at her and tell her off for even thinking that but it would get worse. She swallowed and couldn't look at him for the next bit "I've been hiding the book also... in my room with crystals around it so evil can't get to it. And I know it is part of their heritage but what possible need can they have for it, we're the ones protecting people and saving innocents. Anyway I'm getting sidetracked... I want to stop them from taking the one good thing we have, the one thing we need to do what we do so well... I was thinking a spell with you me, mum, our aunties and the ancestors on the book protecting it fomr all evil... what could be a more powerful spell?" she said and looked to Chris oh yea maybe he would go nuts at her and she cringed a little just waiting for it.

If he was ok with all of this though she could then tell her what Wyatt and Peyton had talked about last time she'd seen them and how they might be able to save their siblings and she stressed the word might.

“Of course I remember that story, is also written in the book” Truth be told, the idea wasn’t all that bad, that would stop them from entering the club too, ‘cause if he was correct on what she was saying, the spell would extent to everyplace owned by their mother and Aunts; taking her chin, Chris made her look up, the warmth look on his face said it all, he was in and there was no need to confirm it but just in case, he made his point “Mom and the Aunts brought Melinda Warren from the past to help them, she was the beginning of our line, we could make the spell even stronger if she’s blessing it too, I very much doubt she’ll refuse to help knowing that evil could win and she died in vein”It could backfire, and badly so, it could also never being performed since their Aunts would have to agree too, their mom would have to resign the idea of seeing her children again and basically having to choose in something impossible but it could be done, he was sure, if they’d chose the right words and tell them what Peyton did, they could have they help and approval “It won’t be easy but it HAS to be done... We cannot let them kill anyone else” He said and hugged her tight, it felt right to do, it was the only thing that he felt like doing to give Melinda assurance on her idea.
