Chapter Five - Remembrance
Dan felt good. No, he felt great. He had apologized to Piper, and she told him that she loved him. Platonic, that is. And he felt the same way. Leo had absolutely no hard feelings, which delighted him to no end.
He felt comfortable around the sisters and Leo. They were supernatural, aliens to most mortals in the world, and they trusted him with their secret. They had no problems answering the questions he asked, they actually seemed to enjoy having someone else to talk about it with.
It surprised him that Paige felt comfortable with him, now knowing that he knew her secret. She seemed relieved that she didn't have to keep anything from him. And he felt the same way about how he hid his previous relationship with Piper from her.
As they sat around the dinner table, the third time he had come over that week, he glanced at the family around him. It seemed they had no one but themselves in this world, and maybe he was just what they needed. With three women, one man, and a new baby, maybe they needed someone from the outside. Someone who was mortal.
"So, let me get this straight. Phoebe, you dated a demon, married him, became impregnated with his demon baby, which wasn't really yours, he became the devil, and you turned evil. Then you went back to good, a demon took the unborn heir, you killed that demon, later killed your husband, he came back, tried to win you back, and you killed him again for good." Dan smiled and shook his head.
"No, I kind of went good, then killed him, the Seer took the baby and we killed her. Then, he came back, and I killed him." She laughed and Dan shook his head.
It amazed Piper how Phoebe could talk openly about Cole. It hadn't been that long ago since they vanquished him, yet Phoebe seemed different. Piper knew her sister still loved her now dead ex-husband, but it wasn't enough to grasp and hold onto. Phoebe was moving on, and Piper was proud of her.
"Oh, you should hear about the demons she's turned into." Piper said picking up the dirty dishes.
"Not only her," Paige said lifting her eyebrows.
"Quit it, you all have been evil at one time or another." Leo said with a laugh.
"Oh, Dan, you remember our um, our cousin, Manny?" Dan shook his head no. "Yeah you do." Phoebe said. "When you went to the dating service place? You met Manny, I know you did."
"Yeah, I remember." Piper stifled a laugh.
"That was Prue." Dan frowned, confused and looked at Piper. She was covering her mouth with her hand. He looked at Leo, who nodded convincingly.
"She was a man?" Piper nodded.
"We had cast a spell, I've forgotten what it was for now, but whatever happened, it turned her into a man. She was so mad. I remember her being so angry with us, yelling about how she was wearing clothes from the ex-boyfriend pile." Piper said before taking a load of plates to the kitchen.
"I would have liked to see that." Paige said.
"It was hilarious."
"Hey, Pheebs, remember the time you turned into a Banshee?" Leo asked.
"Banshee?" Dan asked.
"It's a demon. It feeds on the sorrow of others. It kills them with high pitch screams." Paige explained.
"Yeah. That was when Prue turned into a dog to track me."
"A dog?" Dan said. Piper walked back into the dining room.
"Oh, she was such a pretty dog." Phoebe said. "That was only a couple of weeks before," she paused. "Before she died."
"What happened? Paige told me she was killed." Piper sat down in her chair.
"It was a demon." Piper said quietly. "It came in the house, because we were trying to save a doctor from him. Phoebe had been upstairs, getting the vanquishing spell. But it threw Prue and I through a wall. Phoebe only wounded him with the spell that she said by herself. Leo healed Prue and I, and we chased him into the street, where someone filmed us vanquishing him." Piper paused.
"Then a little while later, we're all over the news. They found us out. Someone shot me from outside. Leo was, he was in the underworld, getting Phoebe, because she was trying to make Cole good again. I ended up dying, because Leo couldn't hear Prue's call. They ended up resetting time, and it went back to when we had the doctor in the house. I was alive. But the source had Cole and Phoebe detained. So Phoebe wasn't there to read the spell, or call Leo for help. When the demon threw us threw the wall..." Piper didn't continue.
"Prue was gone by the time Leo got to her." Phoebe said. Dan nodded in understanding.
"I see."
"We uh, we tried to summon her," Piper said quietly. "They won't let us see her."
"They?"
"The elders. They're the big top guys up -there-." Leo said.
"Oh. So, the only reason you're here," Dan looked at Paige, "is because Prue died." Paige nodded.
"Yes."
Wyatt's baby alarm went off and Leo quickly orbed upstairs, not waiting for the infants cry.
"What is that?"
"It- it's Wyatt's alarm." Piper said nervously. "We need to get upstairs." They heard Wyatt's wail and Paige reached over the table to grasp Piper's hand.
"Stay here." The sisters said in unison before Paige orbed them all up to the nursery.
Dan heard grunts, and falls, afraid for his four friends and the baby upstairs. He wanted to respect the sisters by doing what they said, but a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach led his feet to the bottom of the stairs.
A scream from Piper made him jump, and he hurried up the stairs, determined to help in any way that he could.
