It was a typical morning in the Halliwell house. I was 12 and still lived in the Halliwell manor with my mom and dad. I was born un-normal for a Halliwell though. I had no powers. I Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt was normal. My aunt Phoebe lived next door and my aunt Paige just lived down the street so we saw each other more than twice every day. Mom was downstairs making breakfast and dad had left early because there was some problem in white-lighter land. Aunt  Phoebe was there for breakfast as well as aunt Paige like every Saturday morning. Phoebe was going to take me to the gym with her and let me work out. I went into the kitchen to say good morning to my mom. It was then my auntie Paige came running down the stairs from the attic screaming for my mom and aunt Phoebe.
My mom told me to stay in the kitchen and I always did what she said. I heard a loud boom and then a scream. I couldnít hold myself back, so I ran into
the living room just as I saw my mom being thrown against the wall. My aunt Paige was lying unconscious on the floor while auntie Phoebe was trying to help
my mom. The demon was about to throw an energy ball at my mom when I screamed, "Hey chocolate bar!" My mom told me never to judge people by the
way they looked, it was too late now. He looked at me and aimed it at me. All of the sudden I had a certain feeling in my mind, like I was capable of something I didnít know about before. Someone in my head was telling me to do it! So I did. I stuck my arm out in front of me and yelled "energy ball" just like my auntie Paige would have done as if she was using her powers. I looked surprisingly down to see the energy ball floating in the palm of my hand. I looked at my aunt Phoebe and she yelled "itís just like Paige, Melinda! Use auntie Paigeís powers!" I threw the energy ball at the demon which hit him in the stomach. It caused his hood to fall back revealing his face. My aunt Phoebe looked at him as if he was the source of all evil. Then she looked at me, then back at him. She yelled "Melinda, that is the demon who killed your auntie Prue. That is Shax!" I suddenly knew her pain and let all my anger out as I took my arm and flung it in front of me as I was going to hit him or something. He flew against the wall and fell to the ground. I was mad. I was madder then I have ever been in my life. In my head I just kept saying "He killed Prue! He killed Prue! He killed my auntie Prue!" I suddenly took my hands in front of me and flung them open like my mom did to blow things up. And thatís exactly what happened. He blew up. It was silent for about three seconds, then looking at my mom, my aunt Phoebe yelled for my dad. "Leo! Leo!" she cried. He appeared like he usually did in his angel blue light. My dad was an angel, and I knew it. He healed my mom and helped my aunt Paige up from the floor. My aunt Phoebe stood looking at me like I was the ghost of Christmas past. Everyone looked at her, then looked at me wondering what was going on. My mom asked my aunt Phoebe how she killed the demon. "I didnít." my aunt Phoebe said. "Melinda did." I looked at my hands then fell to the floor landing hard on my butt. I sat there with my dad as my mom talked to her sisters. My mom looked at me and said, "Oh my god! Leo, honey, will you come here." My dad told me to stay put. I sat on the floor still looking at my hands and wondering where it all came from. I was scared. What had happened to me? Was I a witch? My mom came over to me and said it was going to be okay and that she would get to the bottom of this. She also thanked me for saving her life. She and my aunts stormed upstairs leaving my dad and me behind. He brought me over to the couch and laid me down telling me to relax and that it would be okay just as my mother did.

Upstairs my mom and sisters where trying to decide what to do. They finally decided to summon my great-grandma Penny. "Hear these words, hear our cries,
spirit from the other side. Come to us we summon thee, cross now the great divide" they chanted. My grandma appeared from white clouds and said "Girls, oh itís so nice to see you again. What is it that you need from me?" My mom looked mad. "I, would like to know what is going on with my daughter, Grams! Why is she able to use magic? In fact, why does she have all of our powers when she was born, normal? Thatís what I want to know!" My great-grandma sighed, "Iíve been meaning to tell you this Piper." "What! Meaning to tell me what?" "Sit down you three and listen. When your mother died I bound your powers from you, you know that. Well when I bound your powers it will bind your childís power too, until you say the spell which causes it to come undone." "Well whatís the spell? Where do I get it? How did it just come undone?" My mom came unglued. Everyone was confused. "When your child reaches a certain age in his or her life, the spell is broken. But it only breaks when the powers are needed most in the childís life, and thatís what just happened to Melinda. She needed her powers she couldnít use before to save the most important person in her life, her mother." Everyone was stunned that I had powers. Even myself. My great-grandma told Paige and Phoebe to leave so she could talk to my mother. This is what she told her. "Piper, you were always the strongest witch out of your three sisters, with the most powers and the strongest mind. Thatís why god gave you Melinda." "What do you mean?" my mother asked. "Piper," my
great-grandmother said. "Melinda is the most powerful witch in Halliwell history! Even more powerful then who she was named after. Melinda Warren.Melinda has your power, her fatherís power, Paigeís power, and she even has the power of premonition, which by the way she has already used, many times." My
mother looked like she was going to cry, but at the same time she looked so proud to be my mother.

The rest of my life has never been the same. I can use my powers but sometimes mom makes me sit down and try to control myself so I donít get mad and blow up the clock again. But my aunt Phoebe keeps having to remind my mom about when she first got her ability to blow things up, she blew the clock up five times in one week! When Phoebe says that we all canít help laughing at mom. My world is different now, but my mom and dad donít look at me any differently then they did the first day I was born, Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt, most powerful witch in Halliwell history.

And thatís my story.
