The children who are Charmed Chapter One: Introduction 15 year old Melinda Prudence Halliwell watched as time slowly passed. Her Science Class seemed to have no end. She turned around and saw that her best friend, the only one who knew of her secret, Alana Johnston, was also at the end of her consciousness. She wanted to be free. Her brothers, Wyatt and Chris, were currently on spare and didn’t have to sit threw hell. Suddenly, Melinda was jolted awake by the fact that the room had frozen. She quickly scanned her mind. Did I freeze the room? As a Halliwell, Melinda and her brothers had magic powers. She had all of her mother’s, aunt’s and father’s powers. In short, she was a gifted child. Her brothers had the same powers except Wyatt and Chris were the only ones who could control the mighty sword Excalibur. Wyatt had also retained his forcefield. But this wasn’t an example of her or her mother’s freezes. Suddenly, she felt a dark presence in the room. She whipped around and stood face to face with a darklighter. “Well, well, well, what do we have here?” he grinned evilly. “The youngest child of the Charmed Ones unguarded by her brothers, parents or aunts.” “Your death shall be very quick.” as he spoke an arrow went shooting from his crossbow. Melinda orbed to the other side of the room. “Crossbow!” she called. A swirl of orbs carried the crossbow to her. She shot the darklighter and he vanished in a cloud of fire. Melinda breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, blue and white orbs appeared and formed into her brothers. “Oh my God, Melinda! What happened?” Wyatt screamed. “Nothing.”she said with a smile. “You have to be more careful.” Chris said. “I know. I know” I can take care of myself. “Well, if you are safe we are going.” “Bye.” her 17 and 16 year brothers said. I guess I should just unfreeze time. Melinda flicked her wrists and time was back. “So,” Alana asked, “vanquish?” “Yup” said Melinda as she copied her notes. R & R thanks
