Peter Halliwell
Leo looked up from the boys' faces to hear Paige orb all the others back in. She and Phoebe slowly eased Peter onto the couch, while Piper came running for Leo. "Leo!" she yelled.
"What? What's wrong?" Leo asked. Piper grabbed his hand and dragged him back into the living room. "That's the problem. He's lost blood, and I don't know if his powers are still there to heal him, let alone if he's even alive," Piper yelled, worry dripping in her voice.
Leo kneeled down next to Peter and placed his hands over him and closed his eyes. The healing light poured out of his hands, but nothing seemed to happen to Peter. He continued laying on the couch as though he were dead, his face pale and his chest barely moving.
"Something's wrong. He's dying and I can't heal him!" Leo said panicked.
"What do you mean you can't heal him!" Phoebe yelled. "You're an Elder damn it! You should be able to do this"
"Not helping Phoebe," Leo said, looking at her with a very annoyed look. Phoebe's look of disdain continued. "I've lost one older sibling, I can't do it again"
"Wait," Paige said. "Leo give me your hand." Paige kneeled down next to Leo and with clasped hands they put all of their hands over Peter and closed their eyes in concentration. And from their hands poured a light brighter and stronger than any other light ever seen by mortal eyes. It filled all of Peter's countenance and he opened his eyes violently and gasped for breath. Phoebe and Piper grabbed each other in a fierce hug, as Paige leaned forward and embraced Peter who seemed to be doing fine now. "Peter," she whispered.
"Yeah sis', I'm here. And thanks to you I'm not going anywhere," he said, smiling weakly. "I don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful, but I'm tired." Everyone had a good laugh at that as Leo and Piper took him upstairs to the attic so he could rest unbothered.
Five hours later, Peter walked weakly into the kitchen to find everyone sitting at the table with the Book of Shadows open. "Hey Peter," Piper said, closing the Book. "How are you feeling"
"Tired, and hungry enough to eat a horse," Peter said sitting down with a slight twinge of pain on his face.
"Well, we don't have any horse, but how about some leftover honey chicken and biscuits"
"Sounds wonderful," Peter said with a smile.
As Piper rose to warm Peter some leftovers, Paige turned to Phoebe and tilted her head as though asking something. "What's going on?" Peter asked.
"Well, all of us were looking through the Book of Shadows and putting our heads together to try and figure out how we escaped that spell of Barbas'. Would you care to enlighten us?" Paige said.
Piper turned around. "I thought we agreed to let him eat before we interrogated him"
"It's alright Mother Piper," Peter said teasingly, to which Piper smirked. "I don't mind." Peter took a deep breath. "To be honest, I don't really know. And I don't know anyone alive who does. But, it has something to do with our blood. Somehow my blood isn't the same as yours, and that's why it didn't work"
"I don't know how that could be," Phoebe said. "Your name is Peter Halliwell, we saw it on your collar. It doesn't make sense"
"Don't worry about it making sense Phoebe," Peter said reassuringly. "I've wondered why my powers were different from yours, but I don't know how we can find out. The Elders keep more secrets than the diary of a spy, so it's almost no use asking them"
"I wouldn't be too sure about that," Leo said orbing in. "I just talked to the Elders, and there is a way to find out everything. Talk to your mother"
"I thought you and the Elders wiped our parents' memories of me," Peter said bewildered.
"Well, that spell of Barbas somehow caused all the memories of you to come back to your parents. In fact, your dad is on his way now." Just then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," Piper said, moving quickly to the door.
"Hey dad," they heard her say.
"Where is he?" Victor asked.
"In the dining room," she said. Footsteps quickly moved toward them, and then Virctor stepped into the room, Peter looked so much like him. "Peter," he gasped. Peter stood up and they grasped each other in a fierce hug. After a minute or two, they stepped back and looked at the other. They saw so many similarities. "Peter," Victor said, tears in his eyes. "Yes Dad, I'm back and I'm staying," Peter responded with just as much emotion.
"Well," Peter said turning and wiping some of the tears from his eyes, "Let's go have a little chat with mom"
They all made their way up the stairs to the attic. Paige orbed candles in a circle, and Peter conjured fire to light them. Piper and Phoebe put the Book back on the stand, and then invoked the spell to bring back Patricia Halliwell.
A/N: I am almost back to being able to write and post more regularly, so please be patient. I know I went off the map for a while, but I'm going to try to catch up.
