Chapter Six - Mortal Spell
"Paige? Piper?" Dan stood at the top of the stairs.
Fear washed over him as he walked closer to the baby's room. He was worried for the family inside that room, but he knew that if there were any evil that hadn't gone, he would be unprotected. As he crept closer, Phoebe stumbled out of the room.
She held her hand on her abdomen, trying to keep blood from gushing.
"Dan, it- it's bad." Phoebe paused to catch her breath. Sweat pooled down her face, showing that she was having a hard time with the pain. "It was a - a dark lighter. Paige, Leo, and, and the baby all have, they all have white lighter blood. Dan, I, I need you to go upstairs, and get - get the Book of Shadows. I- I need to switch- switch Leo's power- of healing with mine." Phoebe said, straining to keep from passing out.
Dan ran as fast as he could to the attic, grabbed the book, and brought it back down to the second floor. He nearly dropped it when he saw Phoebe in a heap on the floor. He knew that there would be no way to wake her. He went into the nursery, vomit rising in his throat at the sight.
Leo, Paige, and Piper were sprawled on the floor, and Wyatt lay on the floor beside his father, as if Leo tried to protect him from the evil. Piper had an arrow through the right side of her chest, a pool of blood surrounding her. Paige had been hit right under her ribs, the arrow like poison to her white lighter half. And Leo, he had an arrow protruding from his back. He lay on his side and the tip of the arrow was scraping Wyatt's flailing arms.
Wyatt wailed and Dan could do nothing but fall to his knees. He dropped the Book of Shadows in front of him.
"Please," he said flipping through the pages, "please let there be something. Anything I can do."
The pages started to flip on their own, even as Dan removed his hands. Little did he know, Grams was giving him a bit of help. She couldn't very well sit by and watch her family die.
The pages stopped and Dan read aloud. "To give a mortal powers."
He didn't take the time to read over the spell; he just read it aloud, filling in where he needed to.
As a mortal man
I beg of thee,
Grant me the healing powers
As needed be.
From now 'til then,
Twenty-four hours,
That's how long
I keep my powers.
Dan felt the magic flow through him, a feeling he had never felt before. It didn't take long before he was kneeling over Leo, pulling the arrow from his chest. The white lighter moaned in pain and Dan hovered his hands over his wound, as he'd seen Leo do only once.
"Come on." Dan closed his eyes and thought about Paige. He needed Leo to help heal the others, the people he loved like his own family. The power surged through him, and he opened his eyes to see the light healing Leo's wound.
Leo awoke with a start. "Dan? How'd you-"
"Don't ask, just help." Dan said, crawling to Piper. He removed the arrow from her chest, and closed his eyes, healing her wound. Leo was over Wyatt, healing the small baby. Once he was finished, he crawled to Paige.
"Pull this out for me. I can't touch it." Dan removed his hands from Piper for a moment. He looked at Paige on the floor, and he felt a sob rise in his throat. He ripped the arrow from her body, and went back to Piper, knowing he had to heal her.
It didn't take Leo long to heal Paige, he'd done this thousands of times before.
"Where's Phoebe?"
"She passed out in the hallway." Leo rushed out the door as Dan finished with Piper.
"What happened? Wyatt? Where's Wyatt?" Dan put his hands on Piper's shoulders.
"He's fine. Leo healed him and put him in his crib." He helped Piper to her feet and looked over at Paige. "Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah." She looked back and forth between him and the book.
"There was nothing left for me to do, so I did what I could," he said to her, hoping they wouldn't be mad.
"Dan, get over here, I need your help." Leo said from the hallway. Dan rushed out and knelt beside Phoebe and Leo. "She almost died, and I can't heal her by myself." Dan put his hands beside Leo's and let the power flow.
It took a moment, but Phoebe's wound slowly began to heal, and the blood from around her disappeared.
"Dan? Leo? What's going on?" Phoebe said, bringing her hand to her head.
"I uh, I'm sorry you guys. I didn't know what else to do. I-" Dan started to explain why he used the magic.
"Dan- it's okay." Piper said. "It's okay. You saved us. Thank you."
"You did the right thing." Leo said. Dan ran a hand through his hair.
"I just, I knew I had to do something."
"Quit trying to explain yourself," Paige smiled at him. "You saved our lives. You did the right thing." Dan nodded, shaking.
He had never before felt such power; it felt amazing to use a power like that to help someone. To help those he loved. Dan was grateful that the sister's weren't mad at him for using their book, but he did it to help them. Surely they would be happy with him.
"Can someone do me a favor?" Phoebe said. "Let's not leave the baby alone anymore. I feel he's more vulnerable. Let's just keep him with us at all times, please."
