Paths Part 18:
Why
can't magic fix this?
AN:
I'm
bad in spell writing, so forgive everything I make up below!
10
days later:
Prue sat in the attic tons of herbs, bowls,
potions, all around her. There were a million of rumpled paper pieces
lying around it. The book of shadows was lying in Prue's lap as she
flipped through it...
"There has to be something..."
Prue
whispered. She flipped hurriedly with her left hand, since she cut
her right already a billion times to get her blood, what was a part
of Meghan's as well, through the book. It were three weeks Meghan
was gone now... one more week till the due date was. The date nothing
would work anymore. The day Meghan would be lost. She'd try
everything to get her girl awake again. For hours she was sitting now
in the attic trying to find something. It was already long after
midnight, but Prue wouldn't stop trying till she found something
"Maybe... I just have to call her soul or spirit and catch it
into some lamp or something and then give it to Meghan in hospital
again..."
Prue mumbled again starting to flip the book
'Host
soul reject this evil essence,
Let loves light end this cruel
possession.'
Prue
shook her head. It wasn't the right.
"Tom... the spell to find
tom..."
Prue mumbled
Guiding
spirits I ask your charity
lend me your focus and clarity,
Lead
me to the one I cannot find
restore that and my peace of mind.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing. Prue sighted and closed her eyes tightly
again
"Maybe the power stripping spell..."
she whispered
From
whence they came,
Return them now,
Vanish the words,
Vanish
our powers.
"That's
it"
Prue said almost sure grabbing a piece of paper starting to
scramble
"From whence they came, return them now, vanish the
demons' spell, vanish the unconsciousness."
She read out
aloud and then astral projected herself to the hospital, to see if
Meghan woke. Nothing. She looked down at the spell in her hands
"okay... once more: from whence they came, return them now,
vanish the demons' spell, vanish the unconsciousness."
Nothing.
Both Prues sighted and astral Prue returned to her real self.
"Damn
it!"
Prue yelled causing some books to fly out of their shelves
and Prue buried her face in her hands. Phoebe heard the books
crashing to the floor and woke. She was worried that a demon might
was after the book and got up, hurrying upstairs, just to find Prue.
She sighted and went up to her
"Prue... what... what are you
doing here? It's almost 4..."
"I don't understand why
magic can't fix this. We redid and vanquished spells of or demons
themselves so many times, why not this time? I don't understand why
this time is any different."
"Cause this is something we
can't heal. It has to happen natural. You heard Leo and Andy: they
can't. We don't want Meghan to go crazy or something by being
pulled out of her slumber too fats. It's the same thing with
sleep-walking"
"there's other magic we used before. Why
can't I save my daughter? Magic caused this, why can't magic make
everything unhappen again as well."
"She's not dead,
Prue..."
"Not yet..."
"Prue..."
"What? Isn't
it better she's... awake... and...
okay than to just stay asleep and die?"
"What if we shock her
with waking her to death?"
Prue starred into nothingness as
tears again slipped from her eyes. She felt so vulnerable. So
helpless. She'd give her own life, if it just helped her daughter.
But it was impossible. She couldn't do anything. And that was the
worst for Prue.
"Prue..."
she didn't react. Phoebe just
went up to her and hugged her
"Shshshsh"
Phoebe
whispered, worried. She always thought it were just the hormones
which were cooking over but seeing her biggest sister this miserable
and not pregnant. She couldn't believe it.
"c'mon... I bring
you to bed"
she whispered, Prue just let her lead her and lay
down on the bed without a word of protest. Phoebe sat down on the
edge of Prue's bed and crawled her head till she had cried herself
to sleep.
