Alexis woke in the middle of the night, as she held her stomach in pain. She felt like puking. But she didn't have anything to throw up.
"What's happening to me?" Lexi thought outloud. Her stomach heaved but nothing came up.
Carmela walked in wearing a white bathrobe, "Lexi you awake?" she flicked her hand and sent a white orb to light the bedroom, Lexi's sisters would be here in the morning, they have to make arrangements to leave.
"Carmela?" asks Lexi peering out of the covers.
Carmela went over to sit on the edge of the bed, "How are you feeling,"
"Like I went ten rounds with Mack truck. I don't get sick." Lexi replied, "Feel like throwing up,"
Carmela reached over and grabbed a rather large bucket and put it the side of the bed, "There's a bucket just in case, but you didn't eat anything at dinner, I have some chicken both simmering on the hearth if you think you can stomach it."
"No thanks, I rather not risk it." Lexi stated then curled in on herself,
"I wish this was a demon born illness then I could heal you," Carmela whispered. As she slide into the bed with Lexi, she gathered the ill child into her arms, "Sleep, tiger"
Lexi slept for most of the day, Carmela watched over her until the older Halliwell sisters arrived.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were sitting in the Common room with Carmela, who was berating herself again.
"This isn't your fault Carmela," Piper, the middle sister stated
Carmela looked at the sisters, "How can you say that, if I wasn't 'up there' I would have caught this earlier."
"I wonder if it's possible to take the illness away like we did for Piper?" Phoebe spoke up; she was glancing between the stairs to Lexi's bedroom and Carmela,
"But Lexi has been sleeping fine, for the past day," Carmela answers "Even if were possible what could we use to transfer the illness,"
Lexi heard her sisters and Elder talking, the truth was she hasn't been sleeping good, her nightmares were worse and she hasn't felt well in days, she slowly climbed out of bed, her legs felt weak, like she hasn't walked in years. She had to use the wall for support because she felt so weak; she walked until she came to the stairs,
Coughing a bit, she started to walk down them, when her legs gave out and she went crashing to the floor,
Carmela jumped when she heard the crash, as did the sisters. Carmela knelt down and place her hands over a rather large gash caused by the crash, when her hands began to glow the wound was healed, but the illness remained. Carmela picked up Lexi,
"Why didn't you call me, I would have come and got you." Carmela scolded,
"I want to try the spell," Lexi whispered. "And I can barely talk"
"This is dangerous you could lose half your powers." Carmela stated.
"Would you rather she lose her life, I'm willing to take the chance," Prue replied; she placed a hand on her baby sister's head
Carmela knew she was outnumbered, if the sisters were willing to risk Lexi's powers
"I don't like this" Carmela stated.
Lexi reached up and place a hand on Carmela's face, "please mama,"
Lexi often thought of Carmela as her mother since she didn't have one but this was the first time she ever called her mama.
"Fine," Carmela relented, she lost and Lexi was like her own daughter. She was just worried. "Hold hands, I'm gonna orb everyone to the Hospital wing since you need to touch Lexi for the spell to work."
"i think I have something to transfer the illness," Lexi whispered, "its in my trunk, I thought I'll bring a doll from when I was adopted to try and figure out who I am, but I rather just get rid of this."
Carmela knew what doll she was talking about, it was a little witch doll that Lexi was holding when she saved her. "I'll get it," She handed Lexi over to Prue, the sisters all hugged and kissed Lexi,
"We'll still be sisters right?" asks Lexi as Carmela walked out of the room to get the doll. Before she got a reply she passed out.
"Carmela hurry up, Lexi just lost consciousness!" all the three of the shouted.
Carmela grabbed the doll and orbed just stopping long enough to orb the sisters to the Hospital wing. Carmela landed, Lexi was placed on the bed. She backed away, and went over to Madam Pomfrey who was just about to come over,
"Leave them be, they have an idea, I just pray it works." Carmela explained, "I'm going to get her friends. They are worried," She orbed off.
Prue, Piper and Pheobe each took a side, Piper picked a finger with a needle, she had on her. When the tiny spot of blood well up, they took the doll and smeared the blood on it then place a hand on a part of Lexi's body forming a Triquetra, Lexi was the circle that kept the pieces together. Without her they wouldn't have the Power of Four.
Troubled blood with
sleep's unease
We call upon the Power of Four
To Remove the cause
of this disease
Sleep eternal, nevermore
And shift the source
of illness borne
To this poppet whom
none shall mourn.
A dark shadow appeared from Lexi, and flew into the witch doll. Lexi twitched on the bed; opening her eyes. She sat up in bed, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe sat around her,
"How are you feeling?" asks Piper,
"I feel better then I have since last night." Lexi replied. "but do I still have my charmed or wiccan powers?"
The doll got up and started to run out of the Hospital wing, Lexi noticed and stared at it, her eyes going unfocused and suddenly the doll burst into flames.
"Well you still have Pryokenies, I think you still your active powers." Piper laughed.
The door opened, and Cedric's head popped in, "Lexi?"
"Cedric!" greeted Lexi,
the sisters looked at the boy who was about thirteen, walk in. Lexi looked between her sisters and Cedric.
"Let me introduce everyone," Lexi stated cheerfully.
"K, but Malfoy isn't here. Said he doesn't want to be anywhere near Potter." Cedric explained.
Lexi shrugged "His loss, I'm sure he'll find me later."
Carmela ushered the young wizards and witch in, they each went up to Lexi and hugged her.
"Everyone was so worried." Hermione stated.
"I'm fine now, My sisters used a spell to save me. I thought I was dying" Lexi responded, "Hermione, Harry, Ron, Cedric, I like to you meet my sisters, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe."
"We'll stay for the week, just to give your headmaster a few pointers on Demons. Since this minx here brought a bag of trouble with her." Phoebe stated.
Lexi stuck her tongue out, "I'm a Halliwell, its in the family"
Lexi looked down then, unsure to ask because it would be showing off her powers,
"What's wrong?" asks Carmela, she sensed worry coming from Lexi.
"I wanted to know if I could summon a spirit, to test if I can still use the book." Lexi answers.
Carmela crossed her arms. "Personal gain, but since I'm an Elder; I'm going to allow it."
"No one can summon the dead, its not possible." Hermione replied.
"Not for us." Prue stated. "We'll need five white candles."
"I'll get them" Carmela replied "Meet me in the Great Hall"
Lexi hopped out of bed, and she reached for her sisters.
They held hands with Lexi in the middle, the others following, they went to the great hall.
The students were there for supper, since Lexi missed a full day of classes. She had catching up to do. But first she had to prove that she still had charmed power to summon the dead.
Once they were in the Hall, Carmela was already there with the candles set in a circle. "Lexi, do your thing."
Lexi step up to the candles and place one finger on a candle and willed it to light. Every Candle lit.
"I'm pleased to see you feeling better, but what are you going to do, Elder Carmela didn't explain" Dumbledore spoke in the slience
Carmela handed Lexi, the book. Before chanting the spell. She turned back to her sisters.
"Want to know where the True Book is?" Prue questioned, "We brought it with us, Leo explained that this school is one of the most safest places besides the Manor,"
"Don't worry about the Manor it is perfectly safe as well" Piper added.
Lexi nodded, and looked down at her book, she hoped to summon Grams.
Hear these words
hear my cry
Spirit from the
other side
Come to me I
summon thee
Cross now the Great Divide
swirls of white lights appeared in the circle, but the person materialized wasn't anyone Lexi knew. The woman had dark brown hair, and hazel eyes which where closed, she looked a bit like Lexi.
"I don't know what went wrong. I was trying to summon Grams." Lexi stated.
The woman opened her eyes and stared at Lexi, and gasped.
"Who are you," Lexi asks.
"I'm your mother," the woman answers her tone warm and light.
