Chapter 11 – The Healer

Recap: Phoebe started to walk around the counter and comfort her sister when she heard footsteps come from the living room, followed by Chris's voice, "Mom?"

The Charmed Ones raced into the living room and gathered around to see if Chris was ok. Mel then fainted from the wound on her shoulder.

End Recap

Phoebe's hands covered her mouth as she gasped, "Oh no!"

Paige quickly orbed Mel's body up onto the couch as Piper looked like she was going to have a heart attack. She shouted for Leo again, "LEO GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW! WE NEED YOU!" Unfortunately there was still no response from Leo. Piper exclaimed in frustration, "Where the hell is he?!" Tears burning their way to the surface.

Phoebe shook her head in dismay, "I don't know but we should probably get Mel to a hospital."

Chris recovering from the shock of everything quickly became alert to the situation and exclaimed, "NO!"

The sisters looked at him like he was crazy and it was Piper who spoke up, "Chris, she's hurt bad! She needs help."

"I know Mom but trust me we just need to get her conscious, she'll be fine."

Piper looked at him questionably as if searching for the answer in his eyes, he had Leo's eyes she thought. What would Leo do? He'd heal Mel she heard herself respond but Leo's not here right now. Not taking her eyes off Chris, Piper nodded slightly and instructed Phoebe, "Go get a wet wash cloth and some bandages."

A few moments later Phoebe returned with a wet wash cloth, some bandages, and some ointment. She sat it down by Piper, and then had to sprint across the room to go check her cell phone that was ringing inside her purse. Phoebe looked at the caller id and groaned, "Oh great it's Elise calling. Probably wants me to come into work but I'm not leaving until we find out if Mel is alright." And she hung up on the incoming call.

"It's okay Phoebe you can go ahead and leave, I'm sure we'll figure something out." Piper said as she glanced over at Chris who was now sitting in the chair, bent over with his head in his hands.

Paige picked up the washcloth and started wiping Mel's face and neck with it as Piper began working on the bandages.

Phoebe shook her head, "No, I'm not leaving until Mel is alright." She walked over to Chris, and knelt down next to him, placing an arm around him. "She's going to be alright" half stating, half questioning.

Chris looked up and his eyes were a little red and glazed over. "I know, she just needs to get conscious and she'll be fine. I just can't help thinking that its my fault that she's lying there hurt right now."

Phoebe gave Chris a comforting squeeze, "It's not your fault honey, you didn't know that that demon was going to kidnap you. And your sister did what she had to in order to help you."

Paige looked over at Chris, "Phoebe's right Chris, but how do you know that she'll be fine once she's conscious, she's hurt pretty bad and loss quite a bit of blood? And without Leo answering our calls..."

Chris said quietly, "Because she can heal herself."

Piper looked up from where she was tending to Mel, "She can heal?"

Chris replied in a whisper but still with a hint of his sarcasm, "Yeah how do you think I came back without a scratch on me?"

Piper blushed slightly but then got a curious look on her face, "How can she heal herself though?" She glanced up at Paige, "I thought not even whitelighters could heal themselves. Or is that just with darklighter arrows?"

Chris shrugged off the questions, "When her freezing power advanced so did her healing power… it was bit of a necessity for us." Chris finished even more quietly, showing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

The Charmed Ones fell silent, knowing better than to press Chris on the issue and so they just sat there, watching Mel and waiting for her to wake up.

After sometime Mel's eyelids finally began to flutter open and she blinked her eyes to focus in. Still a bit groggy Mel looked up and saw Piper kneeling over her, "Mom?"

A bright smile lit up Piper's face, it was the first time she had gotten to hear Mel call her 'mom.' "Yeah honey, it's me." She said while brushing a strand of hair out of Mel's face.

Mel started to sit up but Paige placed her hand on her other shoulder. "No, you need to rest you took quite a hit there."

Mel looked at her bandage shoulder, "It's ok, I've had worse." and took her other hand and held it over her hurt shoulder as the yellow glow appeared underneath it and the blood around the wound began to slowly evaporate as the wound itself disappeared.

Piper looked at Mel still smiling, "My little girl a healer." Mel then began to unwrap the bandages. Piper let out a chuckle, "After all my hard work of putting that bandage on you you're just going to get up and take it right off?"

Mel said, "Yeah, thanks but there isn't much sense in me keeping it on here now."

Phoebe's cell phone started to ring again and she jumped up, "Well now that I know that you're going to be ok I better get to work before Elise has a cow, I think we're suppose to have some big meeting with the President of another big time magazine. We have so many anymore I can't keep track." Phoebe ran around and gave Mel a big hug, "Try and dodge them demons next time, you scared me a little bit there."

Mel laughed, "I'll work on it."

Phoebe then grabbed her purse and ran out the door, while answering Elise's call. "Yes Elise…. yes I know… yes I'm on my way now…."

A blue portal opened up inside a room with big windows covered in black curtains, a few bookshelves lining the walls and in the middle of the office sat a desk with a tall black chair that currently had its back to the desk. On either side of the desk stood two demon guards and the shape-shifting demon that had been in charge of the kidnapping of Chris and also happened to vanquish his crew of demons fell through the portal onto the floor. The desk chair wheeled around and in it sat a man in his early to mid twenties with shoulder length wavy blonde hair wearing all black, Wyatt Matthew Halliwell.

He looked at the two bodyguard demons and motioned for them to leave, and with that they shimmered out. Then he turned his attention to the demon that was now getting to his feet, "Eric, Eric, Eric, what am I going to do with you?"

Eric glared back at him the fire still reflecting in his eyes.
