Nikki POV
Everyone was silent for a minute to see if it worked. When the blonde girl gave a soft, wheezy breath, she was imminently untied and carefully laid on the ground.
"Call 911. I can keep her alive for a little bit but I can't save her. Get water and blankets," I ordered quickly, kneeling at the blonde's side and grabbed one of her hands.
I took a deep breath before I started the incantation. "Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver." I said slowly.
I'd never done this spell on someone who was so injured. Once, I'd used Jeremy as my guinea pig when he had a paper cut. It worked by opening up the energy pathways for me, the witch, to give my energy to who needed it. The bad part was I felt some of pain they felt.
It was gradual at first, just a throbbing in my back, so I kept going. "Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver." My head started to hurt, not from the energy transfer, but from how hard I was concentrating.
"Thank you," the blonde breathed. It came out slightly gargled from the blood on her lips. "Thank you thank you thank you thank…" she said after a shaky, deep inhale.
"Shh, shh, just take it easy, all right?" Sam said calmly as he gently put a wadded up towel under her head.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver. Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver." I kept chanting, holding her hand in both of mine.
"A year," she got out, her voice strained.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"What?" Sam asked, confused.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"It's been over a year." She said quietly.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Just-just take it easy…"
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"I've been awake for some of it…I-I couldn't move my own body…The things I did…It's a nightmare…" She whimpered.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Nikki?" I heard Sam ask. I ignored him.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Nik-Are you ok?" Sam asked again. I nodded, concentrating on the chant. I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. I slouched onto a desk, eyes pinched shut as I kept saying the spell over and over. It was almost like I couldn't stop, like I was continuously compelled to say the words.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Was it telling the truth about our dad?" Dean asked urgently. He and Sam briefly argued, but stopped abruptly when the blonde spoke.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Yes," she said, her voice strained. "But it...wants you to know…that…they want you to come for him."
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Nikki, your-your nose-" I ground my teeth, cutting Sam off and turned my head to wipe the blood from my nose on my shoulder.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Dad's still alive, that's all that matters," Dean said to the girl.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Called the paramedics, they should be here soon." Bobby said. "She-She supposed to be like that?" I'm guessing he was referring to me.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"I-I don't know," Sam said. I felt a hand under my chin, lifting my head up from where it had lolled onto my shoulder, trying to keep my airway straight, if I had to guess.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Where is the demon we're looking for?" Dean asked.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Not-Not there." She answered. "Oth-Other ones. Awful, ones."
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Nikki, you can stop," I heard Sam say softly. I kept going.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Where are they keeping our dad?" Dean asked again.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"By the r-river." The blonde gasped out again.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad-Ahh!" I gasped, doubling over as I felt a shooting pain in my midsection.
"Nikki! Nik, it's ok," Sam reassured me. "You can stop now."
"C-Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"S-Sunrise." She gasped out.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum l…la…"
"'Sunrise'? What does that mean?" Dean demanded, but the girl's eyelids where fluttering shut.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum…laver."
"Hey! Nik! C'mon! We need to know where our dad is!" Dean said, almost angry. I felt a strong hand grab mine and the girls, holding them together tighter; my grip had gotten limp.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do ti-tib…"
"C'mon!" Dean urged through clenched teeth, squeezing Meg's and my hands together tighter.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae de…tuae de…"
"Dean!" Sam snapped, ripping his brother's grip off my hands. When the contact was broken I felt like I was pulled up from underwater. I could breathe again. The compulsion to say the spell was gone too. "She-She done, ok? Just look at her!" I felt Dean grab my hand and press it to Meg's again, bringing back the compulsion, and it felt like a tight hand around my throat.
"C-Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Dean!" It was Bobby this time. "Can't you see she's had enough?!"
"Cor…Corpore sano…" I was in so much pain.
My back hurt. My lungs burned. My head felt like someone was slamming against a brick wall. There was a sharp, needle like pain in my shoulder. I tightened my grip on her bloody hand out of sheer agony.
"Corpore sano, s-sana animam meam. D-Do tibi vis, f-fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad-Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis t-tuae deum laver."
"It's…It's a…" The girl tried to get out.
"Yeah?" Dean asked attentively, leaning closer so she wouldn't have to speak very loud.
"Corpore…sano, sana animam…meam. Do tibi vis, fac me…in toto. Magia…servo meo male, sicut Deus vult…Ad onera, ad…imperium tuum precor…supernae dilectionis…tuae deum…laver."
"Nik! Nikki you can stop now!" Sam said, his voice was strained, like he wanted to yell, but thought it'd stress me out.
"Do…you have….what you….need." I forced out. "Corpore…sano, sana animam…meam. Do tibi vis, fac me…in toto. Magia-"
"Yes! Yeah, Nik, we do, you can to stop!" Sam said. I felt his hands on my shoulders, his thumbs where on my cheeks, keeping my head up. I took a deep breath.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver." I said forcefully, trying to power through the crippling pain.
"C'mon!" Dean growled, pressing our hands together again.
"Corpore sano, sana animam meam. Do tibi vis, fac me in toto. Magia servo meo male, sicut Deus vult. Ad onera, ad imperium tuum precor supernae dilectionis tuae deum laver."
"Dean-Enough!" Bobby finally yelled, pushing him back and yanking my hand from the blonde's.
"Nikki?" I heard Sam ask urgently, I felt his large, warm hands cup my face as I fell slack onto the floor. I tried to say something, but all that came out was a disgruntled sigh-like moan.
"What the hell Bobby?" I heard Dean snap at the older hunter. "We need to know where dad is!"
"Did you not see that girl, Dean?" Bobby said, almost coldly. "She's lookin' worse than the dead girl next to her!"
I wasn't sure if I was conscious or not. I think I was, to an extent.
I felt myself being gently pulled up and forward until I was leaning against something firm and warm underneath me. A hand went to my back while another went under my legs, lifting me up. I was leaning against the warm torso of someone, as they picked me up from the floor.
I grumbled, squirming in their grip, trying to say I was fine.
"Hey, shh, shh. Just clam down," I heard Sam say softly. He must be the one carrying me.
I inhaled, my already hazy mind drowning in the smell of his dark red shirt. It was a great smell.
I'm sure I could have come up with some other way to describe it, but considering I couldn't even feel my legs I just went with great. I let out a heavy exhale and snuggled into Sam's chest. It vibrated and moved as he chuckled at me.
"Bobby, you gotta place she can lay down?" I felt Sam ask. Talking made his chest vibrate comfortingly. I pressed my cheek closer, hearing the steady thump-thumping of his heart. I wasn't in very much pain anymore. I just felt…drained. Really, really drained.
"Yeah, put'er in the other room." Bobby said gruffly.
I weakly held onto Sam's jacket as he laid me down on what felt like an old couch. I'm not even sure he noticed; my fingers just fell away when he stepped back.
The last thing I remember was a hand gently brushing a few hairs out of my face.
