What is Lily? Good? - Evil?
Within a few minutes a stream of blue and sparkling white light appeared a few meters away from Phoebe. The stream of light materialized into a young handsome Whitelighter, Leo Wyatt. "You called?" He looked to Phoebe and noticed she had blood running down her arm. "What happened to you?"
He moved over to her and held his hand to her arm. A golden glow appeared around under his hand, where her arm healed over. "Thanks" Phoebe responded and then continued "I need your help. Could you please help me heal her," she gestured him over to the sleeping wounded Lily on the sofa.
"Is she an Innocent?" Leo asked.
"Not really," replied Phoebe trying to hide back a nervous laugh.
"Is she a demon?"
"I am not really sure what she is, but I believe she needs my, our, help" Phoebe replied seriously. "She tried to attack me though, but it was all a misunderstanding"
"You know Whitelighter's cannot heal anyone else except for mortals and their charges. What makes you think I could heal her?"
"I could try working a potion and combine it with your healing powers?"
"We shouldn't really do it without consulting your sisters" with that exact moment the front door opened and in wheeled the two-seated baby stroller with Wyatt and Chris in it.
Next came in Piper who pushed it and then followed Paige and Leo who all came into the sitting room. Phoebe both looked over towards their family who just entered.
"Just in time how about that?" Leo muttered over to Phoebe.
When the two sisters entered the room with Chris and Wyatt. They glanced towards Phoebe and Leo with a questioning look.
"Time for what?" Said Piper as she lifted her son Wyatt from his stroller and placed him on the floor to roam free but kept sleeping Chris in the stroller. Wyatt however sensed the new person in the room and walked over to the sofa to look at the child sleeping there.
"Well. I found a little girl in the park who came out from what I suspected to be was a portal, which was triggered by a comet. She didn't know this place. She didn't know her name, and she doesn't know why she is here on Earth. You see she came from somewhere, which is not Earth. I agreed to help her find her way back," Phoebe replied.
The effect of the bottled potion had already worn off of the sleeping Lily Winter. Lily had begun to stir in her sleep and finally awoken with an opening of her eyes she looked up and glanced around the sitting room of the Halliwell Manor. Lily grumbled lightly in pain, before looking over towards the toddler Wyatt that stood beside the sofa she was laying on. Her cold iced blue eyes stared towards him who seemed to pierce through him; Wyatt began to cry and lifted his magical Whitelighter force field against her.
Lily looked away from him and up towards the ceiling she had let out a cry of pain as she clutched at her broken ribbed chest. Lily screamed out, "I am sorry!" She gasped in pain and continued crying. "I didn't mean to hurt you Phoebe. Please help me! It hurts."
Piper moved over to Wyatt, picked him up to try and comforts him. While Phoebe, Paige, Leo moved close around the sofa to look at the little girl. Of course they felt sorry for her at first. Until they were all reminded of Barbas, the Demon of Fear as the child had many similarities to Barbas.
"She looks like Barbas; you don't suppose she is his child do you?" Leo said bitterly.
"No she is not Barbas' child, I am sure of it. If she were we would of known about it" Phoebe replied.
"I am no demon; I am not a demon!" Lily cried out.
"I want to help her, please help me help her" Phoebe asked to her sisters and Leo.
Phoebe looked towards Lily, "How did you know Barbas was a demon?"
"I... I saw him in your mind, please Phoebe help me my tummy hurts!" Cried Lily.
Piper and Paige looked at Leo who looked as if he was finally accepting the healing of the child. Piper looked at Phoebe and nodded, "Alright, we will help her"
Phoebe smiled and kneeled down at the sofa side, wiping Lily's ashen grey hair out from over her eyes and then looked up towards the girls and Leo, "I may have broken her ribs. Could we try healing her? If it doesn't work could we work a potion along with Leo and Paige's healing powers?"
With Leo and Paige put together they used their healing hands over little Lily's chest and with a few moments their hands were flung back away from Lily.
"She is evil." Leo said angrily.
"No, she is not. She is something different. I know!" Phoebe said agitatedly
"Let's resort to potion making" sighed Phoebe.
Leo, Paige and Piper went off into the kitchen, but Phoebe stayed behind for a moment "Just wait here and relax."
Once in the kitchen Leo turned to the two sisters
"I don't trust this child, remember those vicious killer demons that were trapped as children? We all know that demons come in all shapes and sizes, big or small, adult or child." Leo said
"I trust in Phoebe and what she knows of this child. If this child isn't a pure innocent then we will know, we will vanquish her as soon as possible as when we know what she is." Replied Piper
Paige moved over to the kitchen cupboards and fumbled through different magical herbs and already made potions she looked over to them, "I agree"
With that moment Phoebe moved through the kitchen door with a concerned look on her face, "She is getting worse. Could we please hurry in making a potion?" She moved over where Paige was.
Paige and Phoebe brought out twenty-four little oil bottles out from the cupboard and set them on the table while Piper place their cauldron on the table as well after she filled it with a cup of pure spring water. After that they added two teaspoons of Olive, Calendula, Comfrey, Rosemary, Lavender, Basil, Daisy, Mint, Barley, Coriander, Fennel, Persimmon, Rosemary, Wintergreen, Sage, Thyme oils within a few moments of brewing a potion it was complete and ready to be used.
The family moved back to the sofa that where Lily lay. Phoebe was carrying the small cauldron that they used, after placing it down on the coffee table she moved to the edge of the sofa. "We will not hurt you, we promise okay?" Phoebe said reassuringly, with that both Leo and Paige soaked their hands in the potion before moving them over her chest and so then they tried their healing powers once again, and it worked all broken bones in Lily's body perfectly mended.
Lily closed her eyes for just a moment as her body began and finishes mending. She smiled lightly feeling at peace of the sensation of the power of their healing hands. The healing power had also tied off her vampiric hunger. It would seem she awoke from a trance her eyes flung open and she looked up towards Leo, Paige, Piper and Phoebe, "Thankyou" she murmured.
Leo and Piper still didn't approve of having what could possibly be a demon child living in their home, but both Phoebe and Paige had grown accustomed to Lily. Lily smiled and sat up as she flung her arms around Phoebe hugging her, "Thankyou so much!" Phoebe smiled and nodded; "You're very welcome Lily"
Paige thought for a moment before noticing what Lily was wearing. "You know we don't even know where this child came from or even who she is, but if she is going to stay here. We best to find some modern day clothing for her and look her up in the Book of Shadows just in case she was from our world"
"I have a Book of Shadows... or at least I used to" Lily commented.
"Are you a witch?" Asked Piper.
Lily shrugged before being picked up by Phoebe. "Lets just go upstairs and look her up in the Book of Shadows, it would be much easier to know" Phoebe said as she led her sisters and Leo upstairs.
Once upstairs Phoebe put Lily down and moved over to the stand where the book laid and started flipping through it with Piper, Paige and Leo gathered nearby. Lily watched in wonder before going to the bookstand.
"Phoebe, I think I can help" Lily said questioningly and Phoebe nodded picking her up. Now that Lily was in height with the book, she moved her hands over the pages and closed her eyes and with a magical force the pages started to flip over quickly, Piper, Leo, Paige and Phoebe were stunned.
