Chapter 9
"Do you hear that?" Phoebe asked, turning on the light. Cole was turned over, and not moving.
"Cole? Cole are you awake?" Phoebe asked, her voice getting louder. Cole moaned and rolled over.
"Yep. I'll go check it." Cole answered. He got out of bed, and put a sweatshirt on over his red and black boxers. Phoebe smiled.
"Thank you." Phoebe thanked in advance. Cole nodded, and opened the door. He started down the stairs, an energyball in his hand. He heard a familiar whimper, and the energyball disappeared. He flipped on the light switch, and saw Lexi standing there. Her wavy hair reached an inch past her shoulders, and was drenched with blood.
Lexi looked up at him. Her eyes were teary, and she was half expecting Cole to act just as the lady did. She looked down, and felt his arms wrap around her.
"PHOEBE!" Cole yelled. He picked up Lexi, and noticed her arm was beginning to swell.
"LEO GET DOWN HERE!" Cole yelled, fearing the blood was from her. He heard Phoebe's footsteps arrive at the bottom of the stairs, just as Leo orbed.
"Heal her." Cole ordered. Phoebe's hands fell over her mouth. Paige and Piper ran down the stairs. Leo put his hands on the back of Lexi's back, and Cole saw her arm went down, and Lexi felt her scraps disappear, but the blood didn't.
"Lexi, sweetheart what hurts?" Phoebe asked. Rushing to Cole's side, and putting an arm on her back. Lexi looked down.
"Nothing now." Lexi answered softly. Phoebe felt the slimy blood slide off her hair, and felt Piper, Leo and Paige's thoughts try to come up with an answer.
"Okay, Phoebe go clean her up. It's gonna be okay sweetie." Piper reassured. She looked at Paige.
"Paige take Leo, and look in the book. Leo knows all about her powers, find this guy. Cole, I'm coming with you." Piper ordered. Cole's eyebrows bent.
"And I'm going.." Cole trailed off. Piper rolled her eyes.
"I'm taking my cell. We are going to go in the underworld, and stuff kick this guys a- er butt. If you know for certain who it is call me, and we'll know who exactly it is." Piper ordered. Paige nodded. Phoebe took Lexi from Cole and despite the blood pulled back her almost crimped hair from her face. She looked from Piper to Cole.
"Right, and then you're going to bring him back here so I can personally make sure he gets a punishment worse then death." Phoebe ordered. Piper nodded, and took Cole's hand.
"Shimmer on macho man." Piper ordered. Cole nodded, waved goodbye to Lexi and shimmered out. Paige looked at Leo, and the two of them went to the attic. Phoebe looked at Lexi.
"Okay, how about we go rinse you off. Then I'll give you a real bubble bath, get you nice and cozy and warm, and then you tell me what happened?" Phoebe asked. Lexi sniffled, and nodded.
"Tay." Lexi said. Phoebe kissed her cheek and went up to the bathroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Better?" Phoebe asked, putting an arm around Lexi. Lexi nodded.
"Thanks." Lexi said. Phoebe smiled and kissed Lexi's cheek.
"It was no problem sweetie, but you need to tell me what happened now." Phoebe exclaimed. Lexi nodded, and snuggled further into Phoebe's bed, next to Phoebe.
"Its really really super long." Lexi said. Phoebe shrugged.
"Well I have a really really super long time." Phoebe said in her baby voice. Lexi nodded.
"Right before my daddy died, Prue came to me in a dream, only her voice though. She sang me to sleep, and told me where something was in the song. And then when she went away, he came. His voice was so scary, and he asked my where his power was. I forgot and he tried to sing the song to me and remind me but it didn't work. He didn't bewveive me that I forgot and he put, um, a sp-sp" Lexi paused. Phoebe looked at Lexi.
"Spell?" Phoebe suggested. Lexi nodded.
"Every night he would sing it to me till he got mad and changed it to the spwell." Lexi said. Phoebe nodded.
"Okay, so what happened tonight?" Phoebe asked. Lexi sighed. She didn't want to remember it.
"I dreamted of Prue, but she didn't sing me to sleep. She talked bout stuff. dat we talked about before. And then he came. I knew everyone left me. But Prue made me feel better and then she left. I was on a rock in the water and he brotked it and I fell into blood. And everyone was trying to grab me, and, and I couldn't breath and I wokted up and no one was there and the lady yelled and I wanted you to be there and I ran out my window and then Prue put me here." Lexi finished, beginning to cry. Phoebe hugged her.
"Shhhh.. Lexi it's going to be okay, okay? I will never let him touch you! And did you see how mad Piper was? He won't come near you." Phoebe comforted. Lexi nodded, and sniffled.
"How about you get some sleep, and I'm gonna go tell Paige and Leo what you told me." Phoebe suggested. Lexi paused. She didn't want to go to sleep, not after what happened. Phoebe quickly realized that, but was surprised that Lexi nodded. She knew the little girl was still scared, and shook her head.
"Never mind. Come with me to tell Leo and Paige what happened." Phoebe said, deciding the little girl needed comfort more than anything else. Lexi smiled, and pulled the covers down from her.
"Okay." Lexi said happily. Phoebe smiled, and hoped out of her bed. Lexi did the same and walked with Phoebe to the attic.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Paige looked at Phoebe, both thinking the same thing. Out of all targets, they chose a five year old girl. Leo looked down, and Lexi laughed.
"I bet he's fat!" Lexi said, almost as if she was cheering herself up. The adults laughed, humoring him.
"Found something. Leo what did you say her powers were?" Paige asked. Leo shrugged.
"None very active. All I can sense right now is hypnotic precognition, and incomplete empathy." Leo said. Paige rolled her eyes.
"In English, please?" Paige asked. Leo smiled.
"She can dream the future and can slightly feel other peoples emotions, it's never going to be as intense as most peoples." Leo cleared up. Paige smiled and nodded.
"Okay, it says here in some unknown date, Sacrah, a powerful upper level demon was defeated by a witch known as Madison Innes. She bound him to eternity as a mortal, and bound his powers to a place where they would always be slightly out of his reach. It also says he was a demon that mastered the craft and was powerful without his powers. He probably could have used witchcraft to enter Lexi's dreams." Paige said. Phoebe nodded.
"Yeah. Uh, call Piper, and tell her who it is. Tell her to bring him back here and we'll have the potion. Leo, why don't you take her-" Phoebe began, Lexi smiled.
"Can I help with the potion?" Lexi asked, her eyes excitedly staring at the book of shadows. Phoebe and Paige smiled and nodded.
"Yeah but then you have to go with Leo, okay?" Phoebe asked. Lexi nodded, and stood up.
AN: Tell me how you liked it or didn't like it!!! Suggestions are more than welcome!
