CHAPTER 5
Leigh lay on the cold table in the centre of the dining room. They had to move her onto a harder surface to slow the blood flow. Luckily, she was still partially healed, but not fully. Her lungs were fine, but it was still a nasty stab wound.
Sam had a damp towel pressed to her stomach, applying pressure to it. Leo had reluctantly let Sam take over mending her. Even though Leo was in the war, he was so used to just being able to heal people that he had forgotten most of how to fix someone without magic. Sam knew how, and even though Leo and the sisters hated the idea of leaving Leigh's life in the hands of the man who nearly ended it in the first place, it was their best bet at saving her without hospitals involved.
Leigh had her eyes closed most of the time, but whenever she opened them, she used the opportunity to shoot Sam a pissed off glare. She was trying her best not to move, but stay comfortable on the wooden table. The room was silent and full of anticipation when there was a knock at the door. Phoebe and Paige shared confused looks.
"That's probably my brother. He has first aid supplies." Sam said.
"Great, another one." Leigh whispered with a roll of her eyes. She probably shouldn't have though because just speaking hurt.
"Don't speak and stay still." Sam ordered.
"Rude." Leigh said half-heartedly. Sam looked at her in a tired manner.
"It'll fasten the blood flow." He explained and there was another knock. "Can someone please get the door? I need his help if I'm going to stitch this up."
Paige nodded and headed quickly to the door. She opened it and a shorter guy with a five-o'clock shadow was standing there with a duffel bag. Paige noticed the bags under his eyes, indicating that he didn't get much sleep, but she also noticed the gun in the waistband of his pants.
"Hey," he said with a charming smirk. "I'm Dean, Sam's brother. I come bearing first aid." He added shaking the duffel bag.
"Paige." She said with a small wave before reaching over and grabbing the gun. On any other day, Dean would've had some horny or sexual remark, but she was a witch, and Dean didn't like witches, and he definitely didn't trust them.
"That's my gun." He said harshly.
"I know, but we don't like guns, so you can have it back later. Come in." she said, stepping aside to let the hunter in.
He walked in casually but then spotted the girl on the table. He rushed to his brother's side.
"Who doesn't have a first aid kit?" Dean accused.
"We have whitelighters, we don't really need one." Piper said.
Dean rummaged through the bag. He pulled out a half empty bottle of Johnny Walker whiskey.
"Alcohol; you're really gonna drink while Leigh-Anna's dying?" Paige stated in a state of disbelief. Dean turned to her with a seemingly annoyed expression.
"It's to clean the wound, princess." He said and turned back to Leigh, leaving Paige slightly embarrassed.
Sam took off his belt and handed it to Leigh. "Bite." He instructed her. She hesitantly put the belt in her mouth and bit down lightly, feeling a bit awkward with all these people watching her bite some guy's belt.
Sam pulled up her shirt to reveal the wound. Dean shook his head and poured a little of the whiskey on the corner of a towel. He dabbed it around the area of skin that was sliced open while Sam held her still. She understood now why he gave her the belt. She bit down harder from the sting of the alcohol meeting flesh.
"You might want to close your eyes." Sam said sincerely as Dean pulled out a small fish-hook and what looked like dental floss. The sisters and Leo took this opportunity to leave the room. Leigh nodded and closed her eyes.
She bit the brown leather belt harder than she thought possible as she suppressed screams, feeling the hook pierce her skin. She was trying not to squirm as Dean threaded the hook and string through her stomach. It hurt as the hook went through, but tickled as the floss-like stuff followed through. After several very long minutes, the stitching was done and Sam finished up by putting gauze over the stitches then helping her off of the table to wrap a bandage all the way around her waist.
They cleaned up the mess and then three of them walked back into the living room to meet the sisters and Leo.
