Disclaimer: I own no one. All characters are from the television show "Charmed", I'm writing for fun, and not for profit.
Authors note: School starts bright and early tomorrow morning at 7:30am. I however, have to be there at 6:45 to pick up my schedule and what not. Now's the time that everything gets hectic. I'll update as much as I can. Hopefully, I may have a study hall in which I can write at school. :) The story is long from being over... I'm pretty sure that we'll have at the very least, forty-five chapters. So, don't be worried about it ending any time soon. Who knows, there may even be a sequel in the works. (But don't get your hopes up)
Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming. Remember people; it's fiction.

Chapter Thirty-Two ~ First Kill
The sun was coming up over the horizon, and Dan walked around the backyard of the Halliwell manor. He held a baseball softly in his hands. Piper had sent him to the backyard shortly after Grams and Patty had been summoned. For a short while, he wandered around the small yard, taking notice of the lilies that bloomed around the house.
The flowers reminded him of Paige and how much he wanted her back.
She probably likes lilies, he thought. Paige isn't the type that would want roses.
He hoped that she was okay in the future and that she wasn't upset by everything that was going on around her. Even though Dan was new with magic, he understood that there were dangers not only for Paige, but for him and everyone else also.
He clutched the baseball, and then released the pressure. Tracing the red lines softly, he sighed. Dan missed Paige. He wondered if she missed him too.

Patty held Wyatt comfortably in her arms as she sat in the conservatory with Phoebe. She watched Dan walk around the yard, rolling a baseball in his hands.
"Is he good for Paige? Does Dan treat her well?"
"Yeah." Phoebe whispered, nodding slowly. "They are a match made in heaven." She paused. "You know he's saved us, right? On more than one occasion."
"How? What did he do?" Patty shifted her grandson in her arms.
"He's known about witches and demons for almost three years, and he came back. Dan had been spending more dinners over here. A dark lighter attacked upstairs and even though Piper and I don't have white lighter blood, we were still wounded from the arrows." Phoebe paused and sighed.
"Go on."
"Dan got the Book of Shadows and Grams helped him find a mortal spell. He gave himself healing powers and he saved us." She smiled softly at her mother.
"You were talking about him being white guidance- what is that?"
"His great-great-great something grand mother was a witch. She wasn't any Melinda Warren or anything, but she was powerful. She had a son, and when he was born, she gave up her powers. That son had only one son, and that one only one, and so forth. Dan is the seventh son. He is to guide and direct Wyatt. From what I understand, he's kind of like a white lighter only he hasn't died yet. Or something."
"Will he have powers?" Phoebe turned around to see Penny standing as if she'd been there a while. She motioned for Grams to come sit.
"He's going to develop many powers, but they aren't going to be strong. Dan has already healed, that's one of his main powers, I believe. Piper said that she saw him meditating in mid air."
"So he has the ability to levitate?" Phoebe nodded at Grams.
"It's not as strong as me; Dan was only a couple of feet off the floor. And Piper scared him, and he orbed."
"Don't forget the strength he's gaining." Piper and Leo walked into the conservatory. She held the Book of Shadows in her arms.
"He kicked that beam off of you, Pheebs. Sent it flying across the room."
"You need to keep an eye on him while he learns these new powers. He could do serious harm unintentionally if he isn't careful." Patty said, passing Wyatt to Grams.
"Your mother is right. Keep a good eye on him." Grams said.
"We will, trust me, we will." Piper said, setting the ancient book on the side table and crossing her arms over her chest.
Suddenly, a demon appeared in front of Dan. Piper held up her hands, hoping she could blow up the window, then the demon as fast as she could. Grams held up her hand to stop her granddaughter.
"Wait and see what Dan does."
-x-
Dan looked up from the baseball in his hands and stared blankly at the demon that just appeared.
"So you're the new white lighter?" The demon sneered. "You don't look like you could do much damage."
"What do you want?"
"The little Charmed brat. You should know that. It's what every demon wants. And since you're his white lighter, I'll just have to take you out also."
Before the demon could throw his power to kill him, Dan had thrown the baseball at him with breaking speed. When the ball got halfway between them, it burst into flames, still racing at its amazing rate.
When the fireball hit the demon square in the chest, the evil burst into flames and then disappeared.
Dan had just vanquished his first demon.
He walked to the steamy ashes and frowned. His baseball was lying just like new on top of the pile. Dan squatted down slowly and swiped the ball in his hands. Bouncing the baseball slowly, he stared down into the ashes.
"I'm not a white lighter- I'm what you can call "white guidance". Pass along the message."
Dan sneered harshly at the pile as he stood up. Angrily, he spat at the ashes.
"I'll vanquish every demon I have to- nobody is getting that baby." He said, more to himself than at the ashes.
Dan's eyes widened as the ashes began to disappear and the patio became spotless.
"Talk about a spit shine."
He looked up as everyone walked outside from the door leading from the conservatory. Grams folded her arms over her chest and held a somber look at Dan.
"I- I didn't intend to be so cruel." Dan said softly. He always felt as if he were in trouble when he did something magical.
"Cruel?" Leo asked.
"Spitting at the ashes."
Grams smiled softly, as did Patty, Phoebe, and Piper.
"Dan," Grams said quietly, "it's okay to get angry after fighting evil. We all lose our temper and get upset sometimes."
"Besides," Piper took a step towards him and put her hand on his shoulder, "it was quite a victory for your first vanquish."
"I- I learned a couple of new powers too."
"You obviously have great power. You've kicked a beam across the room, threw that baseball at such a speed that it caught fire." Patty said.
"Um, speaking of the baseball." Dan lifted it up to show them its appearance. "It's just like new."
"Very nice." Phoebe said, taking the ball from Dan's fingers. "How'd you do that?" She examined the ball with childlike eyes. "That's very... convenient."
"Convenient?"
"Yeah. Of all the things we use to vanquish demons and other evil, how many of them do we actually see again?"
"Very true." Piper said with a smile.
For the first time since Paige went missing, everyone smiled together. They weren't panicking, but instead, calm and almost happy.
