~*~ Charmed - The New Series: Demons and Witches Come Together - Part 1 ~*~

~*~ Europe - 4 years ago ~*~

::The camera zooms around a coven's camp ground:: Six tents, five fires, and several energy balls floating around protecting the camp::

Pace:Walks out of his tent and walks away::

::A female in her mid twenties, 5'6, long black hair that reached her lower back, wearing tight blue jeans, black boots, a black tank top::She ran up to Pace turning him around:: Where do you think you're going?

Pace:I don't need a babysitter Terry.

Terry:She smiled slightly then looked around and back to him: You can't leave, not without someone especially. Why don't you just wait till the morning and we all could do...you know everyone.

Pace:Look, I can't wait...it's calling me.

Terry:What is?

Pace:Look, if you're going to try and keep me back it isn't going to work. But if you want to tag along then come on.

Terry:Pace...I can't do this, do you know we would be breaking the rules?

Pace:Rules are meant to be broken.

Pace:All we need is three hours, you think you could knock them out?

Terry:I could knock them out for a week. ::She closed her eyes and started to hum::Echoes wents out sending a wave of her angelic hum::Soon everyone that was awake was sound asleep and everyone that was already sleeping would sleep even more::

Terry::She opened her eyes and turned to Pace: Lets go...

Pace:Smiles and they both walk off of the camp grounds::

::They began to walked through the woods::The sky was its darkest black and the Full Moon's light was the only light that gave light::They walked to the end of the woods and stood in front of a cave::

Pace:It's in here...

Terry:What is?

Pace:Where I get the feeling...the feeling of power, great power, power of good and evil. Terry this feeling has been haunting me for five weeks! I can't just let it go.

Terry:She put her hand out and gasped for air loudly and pulled her hand away: We need the others. We need the Elders, we need the Guardians, we need the other Witches, we won't survive with us two!

Pace:Listen Terry, you are the most powerful Witch I have ever met. You have extraodinary powers that hold such greatness, with you, we could do this.

Pace:Demons...

Terry:How many?

Pace:Three...

Terry:Strong?

Pace:Yes...

Terry:Killable?

Pace:Lets see...

Pace:Duck!

Terry:Ducks:

Demon (1):Throws an energy bolt at Pace::

Pace:Puts his hand up and it flies back at the Demon:

Demon (1):AHH! ::Blows up::

::The Demons walk out in front of the cave's opening and create fireballs::

Pace:Terry, do your thing.

Terry:She squinted as a energy wave flew out of her hitting the Demons making them decinagrate:

Pace:Lets go...

::They both began to walk into the dark cave::Pace looked around and Terry did the same::They both felt a sort of power that they never felt before::

Pace:Over here...I could feel it...

Pace:Walks over into what seemed as the darkest of the dark::Terry...

Terry::She put her hand up as a little light ball flew from her hand and expanded giving them light::

Pace:Looks around in amazement:: Whoa...

Terry:It's so...beautiful...

::They both look around the golden walled cave and the golden ground::In the middle stood a large thick blue puddle::It glowed bright and made a woshy sound as it moved::

Pace:He began to walk towards the large blue puddle but Terry stopped him::He turned around quickly: What?!

Terry:She looked at him and put her hand on her hip: What the HELL do you think you're doing?

Pace:Well, I was going to the liquid and I was going to touch it.

Terry:What?! Just like that?! It could suck you into another dimension, you don't know what it is Pace, w e need to go back and tell the Elders, Guardians, and the other Witches about this.

Pace:I don't think so.

Terry:Don't make me do something that I'll regret.

Pace:Sorry... ::Turns around and takes a step::

Terry:Pulls Pace around towards her:

Pace:When she turned him around he punched her in the jaw: Back off! ::He said in a deep Demonic voice::

Terry:Looks up at Pace holding her face:: This isn't you, we're going, now!

Pace:You can't tell me what to do, who the hell do you think you are? You worthless--::Gets uppercutted and flies back and hits the golden wall and falls down::Looks up at her and smiles:: I like.

Terry:Pace something is in you or you're picking up evil power, and I feel that this ::Points to the large puddle:: is the cause of it all.

Pace:Gets up and walks towards it::

Terry:PACE! :Runs towards him::

Pace:Back off...

Terry:Flies back hitting the wall falling down hard::

Pace:Stands over the large puddle and bends down touching it::He gasped loudly and fell back::He looked at the liquid then at Terry: We need to get out...NOW!

Terry:Got up as quickly as she can hurting::

Pace:Got up and ran over to Terry::

::A large figure began to float out of the large puddle::

Pace:Looks at it and uses his empathy:: I can't get a read on it.

::They suddenly stop moving::

Terry: I can't move.

Pace: Neither can I.

Pace: ::He screams suddenly::

Terry: Pace!!!

~*~ San Fransico - Present Day ~*~

Price:Flips through the Book Of Shadows:: I can't find anything!

Price:Pierce, any luck with the scrying?

Pierce: Nope... ::The crystal twirls around::

Pierce: I'm practically tapping into most of my available powers here and still nothing...

Price:I don't know what to do...we can't find him, there's nothing in the book about this, we don't know what is actually in him... ::Turns and looks at Rachel::Or do we?

Rachel: I think I may know...after that episode and all, and with what he said, I think I do know.

Price:Spill.

Rachel: ::She walks to the couch and sits down:: He said that he'd been having odd dreams, perhaps from when he was in Europe. I think it's that bird he was talking about.

Pierce: ::Looks up to her:: What did he say it looked like?

Rachel: Blue firebird...umm...phoenix...that picture...

Pierce: ::Nods and looks to the windows, squints and they open:: Okay...let me try my powers again...though I'm not the telepathic and psychic so it's going on a brotherly limb.

Pierce: ::Closes his eyes and the crystal begins to twirl:: I'm getting something faint, ::He breathes out and begins to see the blue waves flying around in a white space::

Price:A blue fire bird? ::Walks out of the attic::

Pierce: By using my telekinetic and sensing powers its sort of like reaching around for something...the Witch and Whitelighter in me working together...

Rachel: Keep trying Pierce, try sensing into an astral plane with your teleportation or morphing and seeing if that helps...be safe ::She stands up and follows Price::

Price:Walks back into the attic holding a big old brown book::Walks over to the desk in the attic and drops the dusty book down::Opens it and flips pages:

Pierce: ::Nods, lights and wind begin to glow around him::

::The wind in the attic flows, sending a draft around the space::

Price:Stops at chapter that says "Mystical Creatures"::Looks up at Pierce:It's getting cold... ::Looks back down and flips the pages and stops at an beautiful blue creature: a phoenix:: I have the 411 on our favorite bird.

Pierce: ::His breathing begins to speed up:: Getting...something... ::He focuses, straining his eyes:: Almost... ::He sees Pace in a blue field of flames::

Pierce: Almost... ::He breathes in harder:: Come on brother... ::He focuses harder and he begins to morph into Pace and himself, then fully morphing into Pace, though wearing his same clothes::

Pace (Pierce): ::Sees Pace in his mind:: Pace... ::The blue field around Pace strengthens and Pace looks to Pierce, screeching loudly::

Pierce: ::He morphs back:: AH! ::He flies backwards, off the floor, and onto the floor; the wind in the room pushing everything slightly::

Price:Turns and looks at Pierce::Pierce--::Walks quickly to him helping him up::What happened?

Pierce: Ugh...well I was like reaching out to him...and I found him...he was in a blue field of lights...no flames. And then when I morphed into him, to home in on him, he saw me and he opened his mouth and screeched...really loudly... ::He touches his ear, then shakes his head:: Maybe you should try with me next time...if you gradually absorb my body force...or powers...whatever, we might be able to find him together?

Price:Right... ::Walks over to the desk and motions for Pierce to come over::

Pierce: ::Walks over::

Price:Look... ::Points to the beautiful picture of the blue phoenix::

Price:Beautiful ain't it?

Pierce: Yes, very nice foreshadowing and all.

Price:Turns the page and shows an ugly, disfunctioned picture of a Demonic blue phoenix:: This creature is both good and bad.

Pierce: Why does everything bad always have to attack Pace, and then we have to deal with it. ...Anything else?

Price:Probably because he has psychic powers.

Pierce: Yeah...lucky cursed him.

Price:It says here that the bird possesses psychic powers also, some are the same as Pace's.

Pierce: So he'd be bait...Pace was gone for years...he'd have to have friends and people he'd know other there...right? We could investigate.

Price:Yea, lets go over to Europe and figure this out.

Pierce: Let me go tell Rachel, be ready in five minutes, okay?

Price:What?! No! We aren't going there.

Pierce: Why not? It'd be a fun trip.

Pierce: And we could figure this out better. Easier where it all happened then here.

Price:Ok, you and Rachel stay here.

Pierce: No, I'm going with you.

Pierce: We are brothers, and we need each other. Plus, I came up with the idea ::He turns and walks to the doorway and down the stairs::

Price:Follows::

Pierce: ::Walks down the stairs, down the hall, and down the stairs, through the dining room, and into the kitchen::

Rachel: ::Closes the refrigerator, carrying a few tubberware packages::

Pierce: ::He looks down to the packages, then to her:: Ugh... ::He waves his hand and the packages disappear in light and phase into the refrigerator:: We're going to Europe, stay here please?

Rachel: Hey...wait, Europe?

Pierce: Yeah...London I think... ::Walks to her:: I'll be careful

Rachel: How long will you be gone?

Pierce: ::Takes her hands:: Only a little bit, a number of hours at the most...

Rachel: Just be safe, if you see Pace, be careful...he isn't himself.

Pierce: I know... ::He kisses her and hugs her lengthfully::

Rachel: ::She hugs back and takes a step back:: I'll be here...get home soon

Pierce: ::Nods:: I will...love you ::Walks to the doorway and into the foyer::

Price:Looks at the other tubberware on the kitchen island::Um...Pierce...

Rachel: ::She gets up and walks into the conservatory::

Pierce: ::Walks to the counter and takes his keys and takes off a shiny keychain, putting it into his pocket:: Yeah? ::He walks back to the kitchen::

Price:We don't need food.

Pierce: Thats why I teleported it back into the refrigerator...Rachel had them... ::He looks back to the kitchen counter, seeing them out again::

Pierce: Come on... ::He puts his hand on Price's shoulder::

Price:Should we orb?

Pierce: Yeah...its slightly faster and its easier for you.

Price:No problem... ::He smiles as they orb away::

~*~ Commercial ~*~

~*~ Back to Charmed - The New Series ~*~

~*~ Europe ~*~

::They orb down into a old camp ground::

Price:Looks around:Ooh...cold.

Price:The place looks abandoned.

Price:Walks around the camp looking at the tents and old camp fires:

Pierce: What drew you here? I certainly wasn't sensing him around her.

Price:I remember him mentioning one day when he called that they were staying on camp grounds, magical camp grounds, I guess my orbing drew me here.

Pierce: I see...let me sense ::He focuses, looking around; the draft in the wind slightly picks up::

Price:I seriously wish I had like premonitions right now.

Price:Closes his eyes and a coat orbs on him:: Whew, thought I would freeze for a moment there.

Pierce: ::Puts his hands out and focuses:: Me too brother... ::He begins to glow as he senses something coming from a forest:: I've got something

Pierce: ::He waves his hand for the wind to blow towards the forest but it glows:: It's deflecting my power...

Pierce: And as an elemental...that's gotta be a pretty powerful charm.

Price:Looks down and bends picking it up, he smiles:: I think I found something. Jinkies Piercie, two clues!

Pierce: "Groovy" Price... ::He walks over to him::

Price:Hands him the gold amulet::

Price:It was just lying there like it had no where special to go.

Price:Looks around getting an erie feeling:: Do you feel that? Like something is watching us?

Pierce: Amulets don't go places... ::He examines it with his hands:: Check to see if its magical... ::He hands it back and takes out his keychain from his pocket:: This little gem is supposed to bring luck...

Pierce: And...I don't feel anything... ::He senses the area:: I'm not picking up anything, but my powers might just not be working.

Price:Looks around:

Price:Turns and sees an object flying straight at him::He squints as it freezes two inches from his face::He steps back and looks at it: A Demon star? Who uses these?

::A man walks out of the woods::He wears a long black cloat with a hood::His face hidden::

Pierce: ::He looks over, seeing the man:: Oh crap ::He gestures and the star falls to the ground::

Pierce: I bet you 5 dollars thats that brother of ours, Pace... ::He stands beside Price::

Man: ::He growls::Pace... ::He pulls his hood back to reveal he is an old man with white hair and wrinkles:: Pace is your brother?

Pierce: Nevermind the bet... ::He steps forward:: Yes...he is.

Man: ::He shakes his head::Where have my matters gone? My name is Leovour. I am an Elder, the Elder that took care of Pace until he did something that not even all the good in the world could take back from him.

Pierce: Leovour...when did you take care of him?

Pierce: ::He looks to Price, then back to the Elder::

Leovour:When he was here with my group, that was five years ago.

Pierce: ::He looks back to Price, a little skeptical, he looks back to Leovour:: How do we know you are who you say you are?

Leovour:Looks around then back at Pierce: Because...

Leovour:If you are the Charmed Ones then you will feel the great power that I hold.

Price:Look old man--

Leovour:Looks at Price quickly: Excuse me?

Pierce: We don't feel your power.

Pierce: Besides, look at your robe. You aren't an Elder.

::The wind begins to pick up::

Leovour:Because you don't hold what you are destined to hold. Since you broke up for five years...

Pierce: --We are back together again. Pace may have left, but the Charmed Ones still exist.

Leovour:I am not able to go up there, I have to protect these grounds. Souls of warriors roam here, my warriors.

Price:Looks at him: Listen Leo--whatever. We believe you're an Elder, where's my brother?

Pierce: ::He focuses behind Leovour, but can't sense what's behind him::

Leovour:Looks at Price then at Pierce: The creature is one with him. I am afraid Pace will live a long life with pain, unless the creature destroys him.

Pierce: I won't take that as an answer, he'll be fine in a month or less, we have our ways of getting possessed brothers unpossessed.

Leovour:Foolish child...you don't know what you're up against. What do you seek here anyway?

Pierce: We seek our brother, Pace, now please get out of the way. ::He stands beside his brother::

Leovour:Your brother does not roam here any longer. He left us to join you.

Pierce: He came to you, then left, to come back to us. There was no joining. Eitherway, please get out of the way.

Price:Looks at the man then looks at Pierce::He looks back at the man and throws his hands freezing the man::He then turns back around to Pierce::What if Pace isn't here. Why are we here?

Pierce: We focused and it brought us here...besides, I'm picking up something in that forest.

Price:Pierce, I really don't get it. Is it your Whitelighter side kicking in because I don't sense anything.

Pierce: ::Throws his hand forward, seeing the forest behind Leovour glow::

Price:All I know is that I feel as if we are wasting time here, he could still be in San Francisco. The thing inside him is powerful and is taking complete control over him. Plus your wife is home alone.

Pierce: If you don't think this will help, by going to wear it all started, I don't know what will. Pace had to have friends when he was here, we need to find these friends.

Price:We're standing where it ended. This camping ground is where they stayed. Leovour said that he stays here to protect the lost warrior souls.

Price:But hey , you're the boss here. So lead the way Captain Pierce.

Pierce: ::He looks to Price with a doubtful face, then slowly walks to the forest; past Leovour:: I've just got a feeling.

Pierce: ::Walks forward into the forest, cautiously:: We just have to be careful...

Price:Alright Pierce, lead the way, lets go. I feel wrong for being here and letting Pace have his way in San Fran. and the fact that your wife and unborn son is in the Manor by herself.

Pierce: Price, nothing will happen to Rachel or the baby, and Pace always thinks by himself after he gets possessed, we have a few hours more...

Price:Well lets spend less time chatting and more time--well--lets just get to work.

Pierce: Right ::Walks forward looking around the gloomy forest:: Can you shed some light or something...orb the air or something?

Price:Walks close behind Pierce looking around the forest::I don't like forests, they contain bugs, and nasty trees that contain bugs and have ugly animals that make funny noises and look funny too.

Price:Sure let me be your ConEdison for a day. ::Makes an orb-ball and watches it levitate in the air expanding giving off a bright whitish blue light::

Price:Looks down the up at Pierce:: Wait...isn't ConEdison for electricity?

Pierce: Thanks Price...I like forests, you are a powerful Witch and a big, strong man. Why are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Besides, we're just looking around for anything Mystical that would point to a clue.

Pierce: I have no clue...just search ::He stares around, trying to sense Pace like he did before:: We're brothers...so we have to be able to contact each other mentally... ::He focuses again::

Price:You smell that? ::Sniffs around:: It's the smell of like dead bodies...

Price:Puts his fingers to his nose and looks around::Oh God, I'm going to vomit.

Pierce: ::Sniffs and shrugs, trying to walk past it:: Just ignore it ::He brushes his hand through the air and the smog and smell begin to blow away:

Pierce: ::Stops, looking around; hearing an echo of a male voice yelling a name:: Whoa...

Pierce: ::He looks over to Price:: Did you hear that?

Price:Looks around then looks up seeing Pierce a little further and runs up to him:: Hear what?

Pierce: I heard someone yell..."Terry..."I think Pace may have yelled it...

Pierce: I think we're getting an afterdraft of something that either happened here or that sparked something that happened elsewhere.

Price:Looks around:: Maybe so, would I be able to orb to where it happened? Maybe a spell?

Pierce: That might work...--Mystical forces help us find our way, take us to the place were horror stayed? ::He looks over to Price and grabs his arm::

::The ground shakes below them and they cave in under the ground falling down hard onto the cold rock ground::

Price:He falls down and hits his head on the ground hard falling unconsious::

Pierce: ::Falls down and phases, disappearing into the ground::

Pierce: ::He appears in lights beside Price, his clothes now covered in dirt and black particles:: Price!

Pierce: ::He looks over in amazement, seeing a golden cave with a large mark on the ground::

Pierce: ::He turns back to Price and coughs a little; still shaky from phasing from the fall:: Price... ::He inspects him, seeing no blood or wounds::

::A figure runs in the shadows::

Pierce: ::He flinches, looking around the cave::

Pierce: ::He stands up and focuses, a slight draft beginning to flow:: Come out now or suffer the consequences...we aren't here to cause harm. ::He begins to walk slowly, trying to sense the surroundings::

::A voice is head echoing in the empty cave::

Figure: Leave now or die...Witches aren't allowed where I stay, leave!

Pierce: ::He walks back to Price, cautiously:: Who are you?! Do you know the name "Pace?" We're looking for him...

::The figures runs again hiding into the shadows::

Figure: I am more powerful than any Charmed One...the gods love me and even the Elders favor me. What I do stays here...I warn you to leave, or die.

Pierce: Fine... ::He leans down to Price, beginning to pick him up::

::The figure runs; pushing Pierce, making him drop Price then runs back into the shadows:: Witch! You come here and you want to leave too soon? I change my mind, I want houseguests. I haven't had any since Pacetone...he was suppose to be my dinner...

Figure: ::Runs back across into the shadow:: But you Witches will do good for me now...your powers will keep me full for a life time.

Pierce: ::Pushes himself up; he stands up and pushes his hands outwards:: And I need to find my brother and I want answers! ::He forces his hands out and a blast of wind flies at the cave, making it rumble::

Pierce: ::He senses and looks to his right and throws his hand forward, sending his telekinesis into a boulder, making it explode::

Figure: ::The figure runs again screaming hiding back into the shadows::Witch!

Figure: ::The figure runs back past Pierce pushing him down and into the shadows::You won't live to see your precious Pace again.

Pierce: ::He hits the ground and bounces back:: Oh really? Demon that is hiding from sight, send him to me, in this light! ::He throws his hand forward and lights appear in front of him, teleporting a black mist revealing a figure to struggle to appear::

Figure: :The figure looks around and his eyes glow:: Spells? A spell?! ::The figure walks forward showing its hidious face::

Figure: ::Crouches down and looks at Pierce:: You call on magic to show Forute's face?!

Pierce: I need to find my brother Pace. Magic just happens to work.

Forute:Pace is dead. Pace is gone. Pace no longer exists. The Charmed Ones no longer exist... ::He hisses::

Pierce: The Charmed Ones do exist, he is still alive. Now tell me where he is! ::He puts his hand out, the wind beginning to pick up:: Besides, how would you know? You don't even seem to be mighty enough to know that.

Forute:He stands up being only 5'3::His naked bony scaley lizard like body with an humanlike face::His fingers long and skinny with long sharp crusty nails::His eyes glowed bright yellow::

Pierce: You don't act evil...what are you... ::He glances over to Price, seeing him begin to wake::

Forute:I don't?! I should eat you now!

Forute:I eat Witches for a living, they bring me to life!

Forute:And it's been 5 years since I've eaten. The Witch I was suppose to eat was Pace. But the Witch got away with the beautiful glowing bird.

Pierce: Glowing bird...right...how exactly would you get your hands on Pace anyway, he's a powerful Witch.

Forute:Lifts his hands up revealing his long skinny bony fingers with sharp nails::These nails paralyze my victims, and so do my teeth. One cut with them and you will be mine. But he got away with the evil bird.

Pierce: Right... ::He analyzes the Demon, amazed on how the Demon would rather talk than eat::

Pierce: Do you know where my brother is? He's possessed now, you can probably get your revenge on him if you help us.

Price:Uh... ::He starts to get up slowly::

Pierce: ::He hears Price and squints, forcing Price to the floor; hoping he'll understand why::

Forute:Your brother is not possessed...he's one with the creature, he just let it take over. He still has control, nothing took him over fully. He has the choice to come back, but he feels freedom, once you have that you won't go back.

Pierce: I see...do you know where he is?

Forute:The bird is charging...get ready for the final showdown...Getting ready to fight, eat, and kill.

Forute:And the first thing she'll be after is Pace's family and loved ones. ::The creature then laughed:: No more talking. I'm hungry... ::The creatures eyes turned bright yellow as he hissed:: Come here!

Forute::Swings his claws at Pierce's stomach then neck::

Pierce: AH! ::He phases and jumps backwards, still in phase::

Pierce: ::Throws his hand forward, sending a brutal hole through the Demon:: Price!

Pierce: ::Turns and trips, crawling to his brother:: Blow him up!

Forute:Falls down::You stupid Witch!

Forute:Growls looking down at his stomach::

Price:Comes to and gets up looking at Pierce:Hey...where are we?

Pierce: Later, blow him up!

Price:Turns and looks at Forute:Oh, ew... ::Throws hands blowing the Demon up watching explode into pieces screaming in agony and pain::

Pierce: ::He looks back to Price: We're in a cave...the Demon said that Pace isn't really possessed, he's letting the thing inside of him take over.

Price:Gets up standing fully and brushes the dirt and gravel off of him: Where are we, oh brother of mine?

Pierce: We said the spell and came here...the Demon didn't know anything, he said that he was going to eat Pace 5 years ago but the Phoenix helped him escape.

Price:So, the Phoenix is good?

Price:Looks up seeing no opening then looks around then back at Pierce:: Well since we found out some stuff--well you did, I guess we can go back. Did the Demon say where Pace is? Did it give us any hints? Clues? Good news?

Pierce: The Demon said "evil" Phoenix.

Pierce: No...no clues.

Price:So the Phoenix is good but yet it helped Pace escape. Great, what else did he say? Anything important?

Pierce: Nope...nothing else

Price:Looks at Pierce then looks around: Great...we need some info on this thing. The book has nothing and the book of creatures has nothing. We're lost, we have nothing to help us.

Pierce: Hmm...well lets go back home, maybe Rachel figured something out...she loves to investigate things.

Price:Shall we orb?

Pierce: Yeah... ::He grabs Price's shoulder::

::They turn bright and turn into orbs floating up into the air orbing away::

~*~ Commercial ~*~

~*~ Back to Charmed - The New Series ~*~

~*~ Manor ~*~

::The orbs come down into the living room then fading away revealing Price and Pierce::

Pierce: Rachel? You home? ::He walks to the stairway:: Rachel?!

Rachel: ::Walks down the stairs slowly, holding onto the railing:: I raided Pace's room, I found a few numbers in his phone book...European numbers.

Price:Good work Pierce, this scene would work great if I had a pipe.

Price:You know like that detective guy...

Pierce: Right... ::He walks over::

Price:Sherlock Homes has a pipe, I want a pipe...okay it was just a bad joke gone bad.

Price:I'm going to go up in the attic and try some scrying.

Rachel: The book is on Pace's dresser.

Price:Holler or scream or break something if you need my assistance. ::Smiles and orbs away::

Rachel: Pierce, call on your cell phone first, then call on the home phone, morph into Pace, something.

Pierce: Call as Pace...that would work...thanks Rachel ::He walks up the stairs and into Pace's bedroom::

Pierce: ::Walks to the dresser and grabs the book, sitting down on Pace's bed::

Pierce: ::Squints at the door and it closes:: Good...my powers are finally under control... ::He opens the book and looks at the page with the post it note from Rachel::

Pierce: ::He stands up and takes the book and cordless phone and walks into the hallway and to the attic::

Pierce: ::Enters the attic:: Rachel says I should morph into Pace and call, do you think its a good idea?

Price:Looks up at Pierce: Actually no, because those are probably all Witches. And they probably already know what is happening.

Pierce: Well lets check, I'll do it your way ::He sits down on the couch and picks up the phone, turning it on and dialing:: First number.

Pierce: ::Waits:: Calling...

Man:Picks up:Hello?

Price:Looks at Pierce then at the crystal stilling spinning it::

Pierce: Hi...sorry to bother but does the name Pace Halliwell mean anything to you?

Man:Pace? Is this Pace?

Pierce: ::Looks over to Price for advice::

Price:Looks at Pierce and shakes his head::

Man:Hello? Hello?

Pierce: This is his brother...

Man:Pierce Halliwell am I correct?

Pierce: Yes...you are. How do you know Pace?

Man:I would like to talk to Pace, n ow.

Pierce: ::Looks over to Price again:: Well you see...

Man:Would it be okay if I came over?

Pierce: ::Looks to the phone number, then realizes that he is calling a Witch:: Can you hold on for a second?

Pierce: ::Looks at the phone and presses hold, setting the phone down:: He wants to come over, I bet he can teleport.

::Lights teleport in the attic::

Pierce: ::Looks over, seeing the lights:: Price, freeze it...

Price:Turns and is about to throw his hands but is thrown back into the wall::

Pierce: ::He presses a button on the phone and puts it down; throws his hand at the light::

Pierce: ::He throws his other hand and a gust of wind flies out::

Pierce: Damn it...didn't want that to happen ::He throws his hands again, sending a telekinetic wave forward::

Man:Looks around and looks at Pierce and waves his hand deflecting the telekinetic wave::

Pierce: ::Throws his hands forward, making it disappate::

Man:Teleports away:

Pierce: Ugh... ::He runs to Price:: Hey bro, you okay?

Price:He gasps loudly and levitates in the air::

Pierce: Price! ::He looks to the cupboard and throws his arm, making the cabinet open and a box fall out::

Price:Throws his hand to his throat::Tries to breathe::

Man:Appears next to Price with his hand up::

Pierce: ::He looks to the box and throws his hand, sending the crystals to circle around Price and the Man::

Pierce: ::He jumps up and looks at the man:: Put him down!

Pierce: NOW! ::He throws his hand to the bed but as Price begins to teleport something blocks him and he appears at the man's hand once more::

Man:Looks at Pierce::Where is Pace?!

Pierce: He isn't here.

Man:Looks at Price and uses his telekinesis to throw Price onto the bed and squints as the crystals fly against the wall::

Pierce: I don't know who you are but you're getting outta here! ::He looks to the desk and the drawer flies out, sending a dagger from it to the Man's chest::

Rachel: ::Runs into the attic, hearing the noise:: Pierce? ::She steps back from the doorway, seeing the Man::

Price:Turns: NO! ::Throws his hands freezing the dagger::

Price:Gets up slowly::And walks to the man and looks at him and grabs the potion and walks back to Pierce:: He's good, remember?

Pierce: ::Looks over, seeing Rachel, then seeing the Dagger:: Maybe you think he's Good, he just tried to kill you...we have no proof he's good.

Price:Looks at the man:

Man:My name is Ian.

Price:Why'd you try to kill me?

Ian:I heard him tell you to freeze me, I simply wanted to just throw you back, but then your brother wanted to fight with powers. I thought you were going to attack me, being the brothers of Pace I thought you two were evil like he is.

Pierce: Evil? Pace is the bad one here, we need to find him.

Ian:He isn't evil?

Ian:He has always had evil in him, he was part of evil, and evil is part of him. You three all are part evil for being born males and into the Halliwell Manor.

Price:Looks over at the crystal and sees that it has landed:Walks over to it: 1500 and 19th Street.

Pierce: ::He stands up fully and wipes his clothes off:: We have a little bit of evil in us, but not so much to hurt us, like Pace has been.

Ian:Pace lets it take over him, you two are the strongest ones to fight the freedom. Since Pace has a passion for magic and letting go, him being free is the reason the creature took over.

Pierce: Ugh...we should have busloaded him with pressure, then he wouldn't be as available to get taken over. ::He walks to the map:: So should we go?

Price:Yea, okay, look buddy you need to leave unless you have good information of this thing that took my brother over.

Price:Looks at Pierce: I don't know should we? We don't know what kind of powers he has or what he is capable of doing.

Pierce: I agree...we should be prepared... ::He looks over to Ian:: Who are you again?

Ian:My name is Ian Banderwolf.

Price:Looks at Ian then looks over at Rachel and cocks an eyebrow then looks back at Ian: Ian, think, what do you know about this thing? Anything important?

Rachel: ::Walks in from the doorway and walks to the couch, sitting down:: How do you know Pace, Ian? ::She searches through the phone book::

Ian:From the trip to Europe. The creature is getting started in Pace. She doesn't know what his weaknesses are yet, to sink in the powers into Pace will take hours.

Price:Looks at Rachel then at Pierce: Lets go, maybe we could talk to him, right? I mean there has to be a part of him in there that will try to control the creature and talk to us. We should at least give it a try, and I mean powerless.

Pierce: Okay...wait...The thing is a She? --Well it is like Pace to let women have their way with him...nevermind. Do you know how we can find him? We found a Demon that Pace had escaped from at a campground, its dead now.

Ian:Well didn't the crystal find him?

Price:Looks at Ian::Yea, sure...you stay here... ::Throws one hand at Ian freezing him::

Price:Turns and looks at Rachel: there's a potion in the drawer, it has thick white liquid in it. It's a freezing potion...really hard to make though. If he unfreezes then throw it at him. The only way he would unfreeze is if something happens to me...yeah.

Pierce: Price, The crystal may not of found Pace, it could be a trap or just trailing the wrong person.

Rachel: ::Stands up, walks to the drawer on the sidetable, and grasps it, closing the drawer and sitting down again:: Why can't he just go with you or something?

Price:Looks at Rachel: Because if something happens to him we have nothing. Don't ask questions I know what I'm doing. ::Looks at Pierce:: It's him, I could tell, brotherly connection and the whole Power of Three thing.

Price:Grabs Pierce's hand: Lets go. ::They turn bright and orb away out of the attic::

~*~ 1500 and 19th St ~*~

::The orbs come down in front of the beginning of an alleyway::

Price:Looks around: It always has to be an alleyway doesn't it?

Pierce: Yes, everything happens in the back of alleyways, besides, its great for battles... ::He walks forward cautiously::

Pierce: Let me see if I can sense him ::Touches his forehead and scans the alleyway:: Something is overpowering my sensing...

Price:Really? ::Grabs Pierce's hand and walks quickly into the alleyway::

Price:Before they turn the corner he puts his hand out freezing time:

Price:Looks at Pierce:: Anything that's behind the corner is frozen.

Pierce: ::He squints, focusing:: Damn I can't pick up anything...and I don't think its my powers that are the problem... ::He walks forward, ready to use his powers::

Price:Follows and looks around not seeing anything:

Pace:Flames 10 feet in front of them in blue flames::

Pierce: Obviously Pace...

Price:Looks at Pace:Pace, look we need to talk.

Pace:I'm sick of talking.

Pierce: ::He raises his hand, then puts it down:: We need to get you home, please Pace.

Price:We're your brothers, w e love you.

Pace:Is that so?

Price:Yes. ::He says nodding and looks at Pierce then looks back at Pace::

Pierce: When have we not proved that? ...In recent times

Pace:Would you like to have a flashback? I can provide that.

Pierce: Come home with us Pace, stop trying to be so grown up all the time ::He examines Pace and flinches, giving him an odd look::

Pace:You two wanted me gone for years, and now you want me back? Doesn't work like that.

Pace:Nobody is going to tell me what to do from now on.

Pierce: Geez, get over that Pace, that was a time ago.

Price:Pace, listen, we love you--

Pace:Telling me you love me doesn't solve anything. ::Looks at Pierce::Shut up. ::Waves his hand making Pierce's mouth vanish::

Pace:If you dare pick your hand up those will be gone too.

Price:Turns looking at Pierce then back at Pace::Ok, you need to stop this!

Pace:Not until I have my fun.

Price:Pace this isn't you, you have something in you, something making you evil, something that's turning you.

Pierce: ::Touches his face, squinting at Pace, focused on sensing him::

Pace:This isn't me? I have something in me? I'm evil? I'm turning?! This is me! what's in me feels good! I'm not evil and I'm not turning, for the first time I'm actually free.

Price:Takes a step forward::Pace--::Gets thrown back hitting the brick wall::His head slamming against it hard::He then fell down on his stomach::

Pace:Looks at Price then quickly turns looking at Pierce: HELP ME! ::Shakes his head then looks down then back up at Pierce::Catch ya later. ::He then flames out this time in black fire::

Pierce: ::Watches Price, then looks back to Pace, then runs to Price's side::

Price:Lays on the ground::The back of his head bleeding::

Pierce: ::Puts his hands over Price's head, but nothing happens; he looks up to the sky; then grabs Price's arms and they disappear in glowing lights::

~*~ Manor ~*~

Rachel: ::Tosses the potion at Ian, making him freeze once more::

Pierce: ::Appears in the center of the attic, Price on the ground::

Rachel: Price! ::Stands up; looking at Pierce's face::

Rachel: ::Looks over to the doorway, seeing Ethan walk into the room quickly::

Ethan: ::Stops, seeing the situation:: Need Healing...right...

Ethan: ::Takes his wand from his belt loop:: That's a little complicated...especially since you and your brothers have grown sort of immune to healing potions...

Ethan: ::He gestures the wand around carefully, saying words as he does so::

Rachel: ::She looks to Price and shivers::

Ethan: ::Shoots the wand forward, blue and gold mist shooting from it, and hitting Price, healing him::

Price:Uh... ::Gets up slowly and looks around looks up at Pierce then Rachel the Ian::Turns and sees Ethan:: Who the hell are you?

Ethan: ::His eyes narrow at Price's words, looks over to Pierce:: This is more less conjuring what's lost...um... ::He gestures the wand again slightly, focusing, and a white powder hovers around Pierce and his mouth reappears::

Ethan: I'm Ethan...I guess we haven't met yet, well I work for Rachel

Rachel: ::Sits down again, happy to see that Price is alive:: Price...I'm glad you're okay...

Price:Thanks, sorry but Ethan, you gotta go.

Price:Looks at Ian and throws his hand unfreezing him::

Rachel: No Price, he can stay! He can help, he's a Wizard... ::Looks over to Ian::

Ethan: ::Looks over, just noticing Ian::

Pierce: ::Stands up, walking over by Rachel::

Price:I don't care if Harry Potter himself was here. We don't need an Wizard, we need the Power of Three.

Ethan: No offense, but with your brother gone, I would think you'd want whatever help you can get. You have all kinds of magical forces who would help you but you just want to keep it in the family...

Rachel: ::Looks over to Ethan, gesturing for him to go downstairs::

Ethan: ::Nods, quickly turning around and to the doorway, walking downstairs::

Price:Turns quickly looking at Rachel and Pierce: I want him out, now.

Pierce: Isn't he right Price? We always go about these things with just us...and it doesn't end nicely...

Rachel: ::She stands up, pushing against the chair:: Okay...I'll go say Goodbye... ::She walks to the doorway and takes her time down the stairs::

Price:If something happens to him it'll be on my shoulders.

Pierce: If you say so... ::Looks over to Ian, seeing him disoriented::

Price:Looks at Ian:You can go.

Ian: In your Book Of Shadows is a spell to keep the power held, but only for a few hours...I helped Pace with it but I see it's worn off on him ::He turns and teleports away::

Pierce: Wow Price, when you are mad you make everyone know.

Price:I'm not mad, just being a Charmed One. Something you should try being.

Price:Walks over to the Book Of Shadows and opens it and starts flipping the pages::

Pierce: What do you think I'm being? I'm not the direct blunt person you are Price. Unlike you I'm trying to keep my family together and still involve magic in my life. I may not be leading this operation, but I am a part of it.

Price:Looks up from the book slowly and into Pierce's eyes: Get out.

Price:Looks back down: I'll call you if I need you.

Pierce: You really are stubborn, you know that? You get saved from death and automatically you're all ready to take control and forget everything else... ::He disappears as he phases through the floor panels::

Price:Stops at a page and rips it out folding it and puts it in his back pocket:

Price:Looks up at the door: If nobody wants to go by my orders. Then I'll go by myself.

~*~ Commercial ~*~

~*~ Back to Charmed - The New Series ~*~

Pierce: ::Walks into his bedroom, seeing Rachel lying down reading a book:: He left...

Rachel: He's too arrogant, let him handle it himself...or you could go find him...

Pierce: I guess I'll go try to find him...but knowing my luck something or someone will get in the way

Rachel: ::Reading:: Have fun sweetie.

Pierce: Love you babe... ::He turns and walks down the hallway, up the stairs, and into the attic::

Pierce: Right... ::He walks to the Book of Shadows and sees the missing page:: Right...

Pierce: ::He flips to a post it note on a page, seeing its on the wrong page:: And the Find a Lost Witch page is missing...

Asia:Flames in the attic:

Pierce: ::Looks up, seeing her:: Wow, didn't expect you again...

Asia:Looks at Pierce and smiles:Turns and forces the door shut then looks at Pierce quickly:

Asia:I have a few big plans up my sleeve. And your brother Pace isn't one of them.

Pierce: Shit... ::He throws his hands forward and a telekinetic wave flies and hits Asia::

Asia:Ugh! ::Flies back and before she hits the wall she flames away::

Asia:Flames behind Pierce and grabs him putting him in a headlock: Calm down! I just want to talk.

Pierce: Yeah right... ::He phases and jumps forward, looking back to her::

Pierce: ::He throws his hand at her again, sending her back again with a gust::

Asia:Hits the wall and falls down::

Asia:Looks at him: You want to play dirty?

Asia:Gets up: I'll call 50 of my strongest warriors in here, how about that? If I wanted to kill you I would've done it.

Pierce: You know...you keep saying that and yet I'm still alive.

Pierce: Asia, is it...you are a constant pain in my neck, and I won't let you keep living, face reality, you're doomed either way you look in the future.

Asia:Puts her hand up making Pierce levitate in the air::His hands behind his back::

Asia:With her other hand she closes it slowly stopping Pierce from breathing::

Pierce: ::He gasps, unable to breathe; he squints at her, but she doesn't move back::

Pierce: ::He flicks his hands forward, making a large blast of wind strike her, but she doesn't move::

Pierce: ::He kicks his legs and throws his hand at the floor panels and the one in front of her flies up and hits her in the face::

Asia:Gets hit and stumbles back:

Asia:She throws Pierce into the wall with telekinesis::

Pierce: ::He hits the ground::

Pierce: ::He gets up slowly:: Damn it...

Asia:Are you willing to just talk?!

Asia:Or do you wanna play some more?!

Asia:I can go all night.

Pierce: ::He jumps up and puts his hands forward:: Fine...what is so valuable that you have to come up to the place where the sun burns your skin?

Asia:What is that suppose to mean?

Asia:I'm not a vampire you dimwit.

Asia:Looks around and walks to the Book of Shadows: I wish I could just touch you once... ::Turns and looks back at Pierce:: Your brother is getting powerful hour by hour.

Pierce: We already know that, and yes its best for everyone if he gets back to how he was, but Price is taking care of it...

Asia:Price will die. The only way to take care of your brother is if you kill him.

Pierce: I'm not losing another brother, I won't kill Pace.

Asia:I had to kill my father.

Pierce: You aren't human.

Asia:Still, it's my father.

Asia:If it's true about what they're saying, Pace might try to take over the underworld. He might try to be a new source. If he gets his hands on the Evil Eye and The Box Of Osiris then he'll be powerful then anything bonus the bird.

Asia:So powerful that not even the Power of Three could stop. I'm saying if he gets those items, he could take over the world, destroy it. But what I think he is going to do is first open the 2 dimensions.

Pierce: How many evil ornaments do you evil creatures keep coming up with...you know what? Why should I care, you would all be dead trying to keep him away, and then we can just stop him before he gets to it.

Pierce: ...Even if it means killing us in the process...I suppose.

Asia:The only way he could get The Evil Eye and The Box Of Osiris is if he orbs up there.

Pierce: Pace doesn't have that power.

Asia:We hold The Eye Of Good...oh, he will get that kind of power.

Pierce: ...Price does orb though...and Pace could make him do it... ::Walks to the Book of Shadows, looking through it::

Pierce: Okay thanks for the information, I'll kill you some other time...have a nice day...

Asia:There won't be another time...be careful... ::Flames away::

Pierce: Oh My God I think she actually cares... ::He flips the pages quickly::

Pierce: Oh screw it ::He closes his eyes and senses to find Price, and disappears in lights::

~*~ Europe ~*~

Pace::Flames in a cave in Europe::Looks around:: Home sweet home. ::His eyes glow in the dark::He walks inside more and looks around::

Pace:Walks and stands in front of a puddle of blue liquid:: Bends down and touches it and brings it to his nose smelling it::Gets up and turns and walks over to where a bunch of rocks are piled up::He uses telekinesis to throw them away::

Pace:Walks inside and looks at the 12 glowing large blue eggs:: Daddy and Mommy are home.

Pace:Turns around quickly seeing a figure's shadow:: What the hell do you want?

Pace:White electricity flies out shooting Pace electrocuting him::AHH!!!!!!!

Pace:Falls down to the ground unconscious::

::A woman with long red hair that goes to her lower back steps into the light::Her eyes filled with anger::

Paige:Is that any way to talk to your mother? ::Then a man steps out of the shadows and puts his hand on Paige's shoulder::

Richard::And your father?

Paige:Walks over to Pace and bends over touching his forehead::Richard...

Richard:Walks close to her:: What's wrong?

Paige:Turns looking up at him:It's taking him over...fast.

Richard:How long do you think he'll be out for?

Paige:We have time.

Richard:Bends over picking Pace up:: Lets go.

Paige:Takes his hand and they whisper away::

~*~ Manor ~*~

~*~ The Attic ~*~

::The three whisper in the attic::Richard walks over to the sofa and lays Pace down::

Paige:Pierce! Prin!

Paige:Pierce! Prin!

Paige:Hello?!

Rachel: Prin huh? ::She walks in from the doorway::

Paige:Looks at Rachel:Who are you?

Richard:Looks around the attic then back at Paige: Hasn't changed a bit.

Rachel: I'm Pierce's Wife ::She takes out a potion and throws it at the Book Of Shadows; it gives off a blinding life:: Pierce and Price should be here any second.

Pierce: ::Teleports in; the lights surrounding him a little warpy:: What was that? ::Looks over, seeing Rachel, then Paige and Richard, then Pace::

Paige:What was that for? ::She ask pointing it to the Book::She turns and looks at Pierce: Hello.

Pierce: PRICE come quick! ::He throws his arm to his right and Paige and Richard fly off to the floor::

Price:Orbs into the attic:What?

Pierce: ::Runs to Pace, seeing him lying there::

Pierce: ::Looks over to Price:: Do those two look familiar? I'm thinking Demons.

::Paige and Richard both fly off the ground rolling to the wall::

Pierce: ::Runs to the Book of Shadows, flipping the pages:: We need to find something...something...

Price:Looks at them: Who are they?

Pierce: Right...I thought you would have looked at the photo albums by now...it's my aunt and her husband...or that's who they look like.

Pierce: ::He squints and the crystals scattered by the wall circle Paige and Richard:: Just to be safe...

Rachel: ::Walks over to Pace, seeing him lying there peacefully:: It just occurred to me, maybe you can teleport the thing inside of him out of him? Price maybe you can use your Whitelighter half and orb it, like healing at the same time?

Paige:Looks up at them: Demon?! What?! ::She puts her hand out:: Crystals! ::They orb away and they orb back into the box::

Paige:Gets up:

Richard:Gets up and looks at Rachel, Pierce, and Price::

Pierce: Rachel, get away from Pace, he's still dangerous--

Price:What the hell is going on here?!

Price:Ok... ::Throws his hands freezing time::

Pace:Freezes::

Price:Looks at Paige seeing her not frozen and sees Richard frozen:: Ok what the hell is going on?!

Pierce: They brought Pace...and Aunt Paige died, and Richard just faded away from the family and we never heard of him again...actually, you two never married...did you. ::Looks over to Paige:: But... ::Looks over to Paige:: How?  My Aunt Paige died when I was like 6 years old.

Paige:I'm not dead and I'm not alive. I'm stuck in between the realms of life and death. The Powers that Be explained to us that Pace was in trouble big time. They opened the door for us and we came in to find Pace. I found him. Technically Richard did die and it is his spirit that is here...I was in limbo, so to speak.  I used a borrowed power and now he's unconscious, but not for long.

Pierce: You and Aunt Phoebe died...

Paige:Looks down::I don't know what happened to Phoebe.

Pierce: ::Looks over to Price, then to Paige again:: I don't know...

Paige:I remember a Demon attacking, a powerful one, one that could open dimensions. I guess I should be dead if I was in between life and death. The Demon threw us into separate dimensions, he ended the Charmed Ones for good.

Pierce: Well Mom destroyed that Demon right afterwards...and as I recall...vaguely...she and Leo and all of the other forces could never find you. So if you are still "alive", where is Aunt Phoebe?

Paige:Looks at Pierce: I honestly don't know. My body did die, our spirits are just back in physical form.

Pierce: But why did you want Pace back? It's not like he's your son or anything, we usually can handle this brotherly thing.

Paige:Looks at Pierce then looks at frozen Richard then looks at Pierce and Price:: Prin, you look different. Didn't think you would end up looking like Leo...

Pierce: ::Opens his mouth to question her question but stops, letting Price explain it::

Price:Looks at Pierce:

Pierce: Fine...

Pierce: He isn't Prin, Aunt Paige.

Paige:What? Yes he is.

Price:Looks at Paige: Prin didn't have the freezing power.

Pierce: Actually he did have a freezing power...it was water and ice related--and we've advanced a huge amount in our powers---

Price:Looks at Pierce:He did?

Pierce: Anyway, no, that is not Prin. Prin... ::Stops::

Rachel: --Prin died a long time ago.  This is Price.

Paige: ::She looks over to him, her eyes lighting up:: Alive...in this dimension too...

Pierce: ::Looks over to Rachel and nods::

Rachel: ::Leans against the wall:: You're welcome...

Pierce: --Let...lets go figure out how to free Pace...some more.

Paige:How?

Price:Takes out a paper that was torn out of the Book quickly:: Here's a spell to bind him from using his powers, but it only works for a few.

Paige:Let me see.

Price:Hands the paper to her:

Paige:Takes it and looks at it reading::Hmm...Well I think what I did to him would keep him sleeping, but not for long.

Paige:Looks at Richard then back at Price:You mind unfreezing Richard?

Price:Uh--no problem. ::Unfreezes him::

Pierce: ::Walks over to Rachel, standing by her side::

Richard:What happened?

Price:Nothing.

Paige:Looks at Rachel, Price, Pierce, and Richard:: Richard and Pierce go to the kitchen and work on the strongest sleeping potion. Rachel go and gather weapons, they should be in the basement, Prin--um, Price, you and I stay here and chat.

::Pierce and Rachel leave::

::Richard walks over to Paige and kisses her on the cheek and he walks out following Pierce::

Paige:Walks to the book and starts flipping through it::So...? I hardly remember you...

Price: I got kidnapped when I was 3. I don't remember you though.

Paige:So I guess we both don't know each other, huh?

Price:Nope, not really. I moved here when I was a teenager. Moved across the street and lived in that house.

Paige:I know how you feel.

Price:I guess, I'm happy now. I'm marr--I have a son named Isaac. He's a little trouble maker. He's up there with his mom Natalie. I own a magazine called P.O.3.. And P3 just reopened.

Paige:So you have it made?

Price:Practically.

Paige:Looks up smiling::Her smile fades away::Pace...

Price:He's doing fine...

Pace:She means behind you... ::Punches Price to the side hitting the wall::

Price:Ugh! :Flies over hitting the wall cracking it then falling onto the floor hard::

Paige:Looks at Pace: Come on Pace, give me your best shot.

Pace:Screeches and sends an energy ball flying at her::

Paige:Glares at it:: Energy Ball! ::It orbs into her hand and she throws it back at him:

Pace:Stares at the flying energy ball and catches it::

Pace:Throws it to the ground:: Paige the superbitch. Get out my way or I'll kill you, again.

Paige:Don't get too cocky.

Pace:His eyes turn fully black: What are you going to do about it? Give me a time out?

Paige:Looks at him:Oshino Latomor Invalie Ovacor!

Pace:What the f--::Gasp loudly levitating in the air fainting::

Pierce: ::Appears in blinding yellow light and looks over to Paige, then walks over to him:: Hear these words, hear this cry, Troubled blood with evil's disease, Mask the pain, take away the shame, sleep my brother, sleep with ease... ::He takes out three colored potions and pours each into his mouth, gently rubbing his throat so he's swallow::

Paige:She watches Pierce::

Pierce: He'll stay asleep now.

Paige:Yea, sure he will...Where's Richard?

Pierce: I used a sleeping potion, a weakness potion, and a little bit of--::Looks around:: That can't be good...

Paige:What can't be good?

Pierce: Normally when people browse around the house and I don't sense them, they aren't doing something innocent.

Pierce: ::He focuses towards the doorway:: I'm picking up something...

Paige:Calm down. He doesn't mess with magic anymore.

Pierce: ::Looks over, seeing Price:: Is he going to be okay?

Paige:He'll live.

Price:Uh... ::Gets up slowly while getting up he shakes his head::

Paige:See, told you.

Pierce: Great...but he hasn't come upstairs yet.

~*~ Downstairs ~*~

Richard:Walks into Paige's old bedroom seeing that it's Isaac bedroom::

Richard:Turns around seeing Pace :Pace...

Pace:Shh...I just need some life... ::Rams his fist inside Richard, stealing his energy::

~*~ Meanwhile, in the attic ~*~

Pierce: ::Looks over to the door, sensing something:: Pace...he did that cloning thing! ::Runs downstairs and searches through the rooms::

Price:Huh? ::Runs following Pierce with Paige::

Pierce: ::Runs into Isaac's room, seeing Pace:: Get! ::He throws his arm and Pace flies into the wall violently::

Pace:Flies into the wall but when he hits it he vanishes::

Pierce: He must have done it right when we put the spell on him...

Paige:Richard! ::She runs in::

Pierce: Pace! ::He runs through the wall, phasing, seeing him not in the next room::

Paige:Runs to him falling to her knees holding him in her arms::

Price:The attic... ::Orbs up into the attic::

Richard:Looks at Paige::Help our son... ::He slowly fades away in a golden haze::

Paige:Looks up and out the window::

~*~ The Attic ~*~

Price:Orbs into the attic not seeing Pace: Pierce! Paige! Rachel!

Price:Turns around seeing Pace waiting for him:: Oh God...

Pierce: ::Runs into the attic, throwing his hand forward, making Pace fly backwards::

Pace:Flies backwards but stops in the midair and flips back on his feet:

Pierce: ::Runs to the box of crystals and squints at Pace, making him fall directly onto the floor, his face hitting the floor::

Pace:Falls down::

Pierce: ::He takes a crystal and uses his telekinesis and shoots them in a circle:: Freeze him Price!

Pace:Looks at up quickly:: HELP ME! ::His eyes turning normal for a second then back to black:: Forget it... ::Grabs a crystal and smashes it then flames away in bright blue flames::

Price: Lets go after him-- ::He grabs Pierce's arm::

Pierce: ::He walks quickly to the Book of Shadows:: Actually I'm gonna assume he's immune to simple magic, including simple spells, we need something big...

Paige: ::She calmly walks in:: You need to calm down. You two... It's late...not that late but just get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.

Pierce: No...it doesn't work like that.

Price:Looks at Paige then back at Pierce then back at Paige:: But we have no weakness. Pace is basically eating our powers and its giving him strength.

Pierce: Then take his powers and try to not take the evil.

Price:Looks at Pierce:: Pierce...I haven't used that power in so long. I'm afraid. I don't know how to control it. If I do then I might turn evil.

Pierce: Then maybe you can steal his powers, then we can say the spell to get rid of the powers that would be in you. Like...if you fully take his away...the bad ones.

Price:Pierce, I said no.

Paige:Every one is given a power for certain reasons. Look, just get some sleep. If you keep on going after him then you'll get weak. Not him, he'll get stronger. I think the creature feeds off of magic, off of energy.

Pierce: Okay... ::Looks over to Paige:: Where's Richard?

Paige:Turns around and slowly walks out of the attic:Gone...up above.

Pierce: ::He looks over to Price:: Price...not everyone that a Charmed One loves has to leave them...right?

Price: We have powers to save innocents and defeat the evil. We have a gift but that gift cost a big cost. That cost is love.

Pierce: ::He looks to the Book, then to the windows, then back to Price:: I'll change that then...we can still have love without loss... ::He walks out of the attic quietly::

Price:Looks at the window and walks to it:: I thought that was true when I was with Natalie...guess it could change and when it does...::He looks upwards:: I'll bring you back.
