::A girl wearing a blue hoodie underneath a white t-shirt, wearing blue jeans and black sketchers runs through the woods being chased by a man dressed in all black::Her long brunette hair swaying in the air as she runs:: Girl:Help me! Help me!! Girl:She looks behind her seeing the man::She trips and falls:: Help me!! ::She gets back up to her feet as quickly as she can and continues to run through the woods: Oh my God, PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!! Girl:She runs leaping over rocks and logs::She keeps looking straight seeing lights::She stops and takes a breath:: A highway... ::She says gasping for air and continues to run:: Girl:She looks behind her and doesn't see anyone and stops before running into the handsome young man standing before her:: Oh God, help me! Please, help me! Pace: Shh...what's the problem? Girl: A--man--is chasing--after me... ::She says between taking breaths:: Pace:Walks behind her but she suddenly grabs her arm:: Girl:NO! Please! Pace:Turns his head slowly looking at her::What was he wearing? What did he look like? Girl:Umm...he was wearing all black, I couldn't see his face. He was running so fast. I didn't know anybody could run that fast. Pace:Looks at her and touches her face gently::You're so smooth, so innocent, so pure. No ordinary girl could get away like you did. You're different, you're special, you're a gift from the Heavens. Girl:She steps away quickly:: What do you mean? Pace:Don't be scared, I won't hurt you. Girl:Stay away from me! Pace:Shh...they'll hear you. Girl:Who? Who are you? What do you want? ::She begins to cry:: Pace:How old are you? Girl:What? Pace:Answer my question, how old are you? Girl:Fifteen... Pace:Your name's Adrianna, isn't it? Adrianna:Yes...how do you know? Pace:They won't miss you. Adrianna:Who? Pace:The Elders...you're going to grow and be something so powerful. On your sixteenth birthday you were suppose to be an Guardian. One who would help protect the world against evil. Adrianna:Oh God, please help! Pace:You would've been so strong, fast...I could tell you were special while I was chasing after you. Adrianna:Leave me alone! ::As she turns to run--Pace suddenly is directly in front of her:: What are you?! Pace: I'm God. Adrianna: Please, please, let me go, please... ::She began to beg crying::She was lost and scared like a baby deer without its mother, without its family:: Please, let me go. Pace:It doesn't work that way... ::He grabs her by the throat and lifted her up from the ground a few feet:: Adrianna:Uh... ::She grabbed at his arm trying to pull it off of her but he was way too strong::She kicked her feet alittle:: Pace:I have message for you to tell them... ::He pulled her close and whispered something in her ear::Be a good girl and tell them... ::He pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the stomach:: Adrianna:Ahh!!::She screamed from the pain:: Pace:He then threw her way out into the highway rolling in the middle:: Adrianna:Uh... ::She slowly put her hand to her stomach and looked up at a car coming towards her::HELP ME!!! ::Her cry for helped echoed through the air screeching cracking the cars windows and making the car stop:: ::A man got out the car and saw her::Oh my Lord... ::He walked over to her and helped her up and walked back to his car::He laid her in the backseat::He closed the door and ran around to the driver's side and got in driving off:: Pace:Appears where the girl laid bleeding::He bent over and touched the blood and put it to his nose smelling it then tasting it::His eyes turned fully black:: Pierce: ::He gasped as he woke up, sitting up from his slumber:: Rachel: ::Turns over, opening her eyes:: What's the matter honey? Pierce: ...The pain of an innocent...I think...I had this funky dream...but all I saw was Pace's eyes...and then I saw footsteps running, and then a dagger stabbing her and her hitting a highway... Pierce: Let me go find Price... ::Pushes the covers off, running to the door, grabs a pair of khakis and puts them on, leaving his chest bare:: Rachel: It might have just been a dream Pierce...you've been overworked. Pierce: Maybe... ::Opens the door and steps into the hallway, hearing the shower in the bathroom on:: Pierce: Maybe Aunt Paige is still here...go back to sleep sweetie, ::Closes the door and walks down the hallway and down the stairs:: Pierce: ::Examines the Manor as he walks through the dining room and into the kitchen, sensing something:: Pierce: ::Looks over, seeing Paige crying while looking at a photo album at the table:: Paige:Looks up seeing Pierce: Oh... ::She quickly began to wipe her tears then closing the photo album:: Paige:I told you to get some rest. Pierce: I got some rest, it's morning now. I just got a very haunting dream. Pierce: ::Walks over to her, sitting down across from her:: I saw Pace's eyes and...and then I saw footsteps running...a girl's, and then a dagger stabbing her and her hitting a highway... but I don't think it was a dream...I think ever since Pace has been hurt, he's been asking for help...and I'm not psychic, but I think that maybe because I can sense things, Pace is trying to connect to me...but then again I could just be all wrong. Paige:Well maybe a little part of him could actually send messages. Premonitions. If that's not it then the Powers that Be are sending you messages. Since Pace was the psychic one of the family, but since you have the power to sense you would get the messages and not Price. Pierce: I don't know...its just that he seems so...so like Pace...and then he asks for help and...I just don't know...it makes me think back to when we were little, and he was little. Paige:What do you mean, when you were little, when he was little? Pierce: When Pace was a kid...when we were all kids... Pierce: Pace would always act younger than his age...but when he needed to you might think he was years older than he was. He just seems to be able to lie so easily...he just changes his attitudes so easily. Paige:And now...? Pierce: He's a lot older...and does it a lot better. Paige:I wish I could be there for my s--nephew. Pierce: ::Raises an eyebrow, sensing something again:: --What? Paige:Nothing... Pierce: Right...well I wish you could have too...it's odd for you to be back now...you still look young... Paige:Smiles:Oh well thank you. Pierce: Well I'm going to go grab a shirt and then I'll be back downstairs...there are more photos of us in the living room ::Gets up and leaves the kitchen:: Price:Walks out of the bathroom wearing blue boxers::He dries his hair with his towel and his chest:: Pierce: ::Walks over to him:: Oh hey Price ::Examines Price, seeing that he's only wearing boxers:: Hey...shower-- Price:Yeah don't mind, boxers tend to get all sorta wrinkly and sorta wet and sticky after they stay in the closed bathroom door while taking a hot shower...and you probably didn't wanna know that. Pierce: I've had my times where I've been mad at you or thinking about you in the shower and lost control of my morphing power...full frontal all the way.--Anyway, get dressed, I had an odd dream...I think we should investigate, I talked to Aunt Paige about it... Do you think we should investigate? I'm feeling really strong about this one, I can tell you more after you dry off. Price:Sure, I'll be out in ten. Pierce: Great... ::He walks to his bedroom and phases through the door, seeing Rachel asleep:: Pierce: ::Sees a shirt on the dresser and it drifts to his hand; he grabs a pair of blue jeans, socks, and shoes, he turns around and phases into the hallway again, walking down the stairs as he gets dressed and puts the tight black t shirt on:: Price:Walks into his room and closes the door::Dries himself off and puts on a white t-shirt, black faded jeans, black sketchers::Gels his hair making it in a nice curly short style:: Price:Walks over to his chair and puts on his black hoodie and zips it up halfway::Walks to the door turning the knob opening it::Walks out and walks down the hallway and down the stairs:: Price:Looks around and sees Pierce and Paige in the kitchen: Hey, morning. Paige:Looks at Pierce and Price:Look here's the deal. Since Pace is immune to your powers I've been working on a spell and potion to enhance your powers. Price:What do you mean? Pierce: That'd be really great, but I'm just getting a handle of my powers all together, they went wacky. All seven of them. Oh Hey ::Looks to the photo album:: Oh, that was when Prin got stung by that wasp-- Price:Looks at Pierce and then at the photo album and closes it quickly::Looks up at Pierce::We have work to do. Paige:For example, since you could already freeze time and speed it up. The enhancement would be to go back in time. Paige:Looks at Price then at Pierce::Umm...the spell is temporary. Price:Looks at Paige:Okay, so when would it be done? I don't have a good handle on speeding up time and all that. Paige:In a few hours...it should be done. Meanwhile if you would like--::She gets interrupted as the phone rings:: Price:I got it... ::Walks over to the phone and picks it up::Hello? Craig:Price? Price:Hey Craig, we haven't talked to you...in...years. What's up? Craig:Yea, we have a little problem. Price:What's the deal? Craig:I have a girl here, she has been stabbed. She said she has a message for the Charmed Ones. The only Charmed Ones I know is you, Pierce, and Pace. Price:Where are you? Craig:Woodlands Hospital. Price:We'll be over as soon as we can. Craig:Thank you. Pierce: ::Looks over, hearing the word "Hospital":: Is it about the girl in my dream? Price:No problem. ::Hangs the phone up looking at Pierce and Paige:: Price:Yea, it was Craig... Darryl's son. He said a girl was brought into the hospital late last night. She has been stabbed. I'm thinking Pace. A Demon would've killed her. Pace has a little good in him. Price:We need to stop him before he hurts or even kills anybody else. He's being ballsy...he's going to crossover the line completely if he kills an innocent. I'm saying orb to the hospital. Paige:I'm coming. Price:Looks quickly at Paige:No you aren't. You stay here and take care of the spell and potion and watch after Rachel. Pierce: ::Gets up:: Lets be angelic... ::Takes Price's arm:: Paige:You expect me to just stand here while he kills?! That's not how I wanted him to be raised! Price:Looks at Pierce then at Paige:What? Paige:Forget it. Pierce: Right... Price:Lets go. ::They orb out of the Manor:: Paige:I have to do something. Paige:Looks around:: But what? ::They orb in the mens' room:: ::They both walk out and walk straight to the patients room:: Price:Walks to the door knocking:: Pierce: ::Stops at the door, looks to Price:: Craig and the girl are in there...no one else's inside...if Pace told her something we need to be very...good and innocent looking...Pace terrified her. Craig::Looks at the girl then turns seeing Price and Pierce and walks over to them gently pushing them out::He shuts the door behind him:: Craig:Pace? Pace did this to her? Price:Looks at Craig:That's why we're here. To ask questions, to figure out if he did this or not. I'm thinking he did, but something tells me he didn't. The brotherly side tells me he's innocent. The Witchy side was guilty as charged. He's...been...influenced by something big, to put it simply. Craig:Just be friendly. She's pretty scared but for being stabbed 9 inches deep and losing a lot of blood, she's healing extremely fast. To the point that the wound is closing already. The doctors are amazed, I suspected Witch. Pierce: She must be a healer. Okay lets go in then... Price:Wait, we're good, but not that good Craig. Give us 10. Craig:Take your time. Price:Opens the door and walks in::Begins to walk to the bedside:: Pierce: ::Walks slowly, standing by the bed:: Hi there... Adrianna:Opens her eyes slowly:Hey. Price:My name is Price and that's my brother Pierce. Adrianna:You're the Charmed Ones aren't you? The Witches of Good? Two of you. Price:Nods:Exactly, that's us. Umm...I'm sorry for just barging in like this but...what happened last night? Adrianna:I don't mind...well I was taking my midnight walk, you know, just to clear my head, I do it everynight. My house isn't that far from the woods. I was walking and I was about in the middle, when I'm in the middle that is my time to just turn around and go home. Price:Yea? What else happened? Adrianna:As I turned around I saw somebody, he was in all black. I didn't see his face then I got this feeling of evil, of bad. So I turned and ran. I ran for my life and he chased after me. He was fast, very fast. But I kept a good 15 feet in front of him. Pierce: You must have been very fast... Adrianna:She nodded:Then I turned to see if he was behind me still and I bumped into him. I asked him to help me but he didn't. Instead he told me I was something special. Something the Elders would want...a Guardian or something? Pierce: Guardian... ::Looks to Price:: Like a Whitelighter but a little bit more down to earth, right? Not the humans-do-evil ones. Price:Looks to Pierce:Actually in this case, a Guardian is a Witch, the protectress of the Powers that Be...the way things work. Adrianna:He then grabbed me by the throat, lifted me up and stabbed me. With a dagger. It was long, for some reason it didn't hurt like I thought it was going to. Pierce: Oh...Adrianna, he must have not wanted you to die...that must have been it. You're very lucky. Pierce: Okay... ::Looks back to Adrianna:: What did he look like? The Man who attacked you? Adrianna:Looks at Pierce::He looked like you...but he had something about him that scared me. But I knew for some reason I would be alright. Like a six sense told me I'll make it through all this. Pierce: ::Looks to Price, wondering if he should tell her who Pace was:: Adrianna:He told me you were his brothers, and that you couldn't stop him. That's how I knew to call on you, that I could rely on you. Pierce: He...sorta got possessed or something funky...we're trying to stop him and bring him back. Adrianna:She swallows:: Good luck. Pierce: Don't worry, we'll handle it... ::Looks over to Price:: Should we let her stay in the hospital or bring her up there for protection? Price:Looks at Pierce::What protection? He isn't going after her again. He wanted her to give us a message, we got it. No need for her to be up there and feel even more uncomfortable. Adrianna:It will devour Earth itself. The Evil Eye and The Box Of Osiris. Adrianna:That was another part of his message. Pierce: Right...Asia paid a visit...she said the same thing... Pierce: Well ::Looks over to where her wound is, sensing on it:: You're healing very quickly... Adrianna:I know. Price:Wait--Asia paid you a visit? Pierce: Yesterday...yeah...I meant to tell you...too much has been going on. Price:Look, lets just go to the woods. I mean he was there, since you have sensing you could probably tap in something. Pierce: okay... ::Looks over to Adrianna:: If you need anything ::Takes a pen from his pocket and writes three numbers on the pad by the bed:: Call me on my cell, at home, or call Price's cell ::Puts the pen back in his pocket:: Adrianna:Thank you. Adrianna:Closes her eyes:: Price:Takes Pierce's hand and they orb away:: Rachel: ::Walks along the walls, and sits down in the conservatory on the wired bench, picking up a home decor magazine:: Paige:Walks into the conservatory carrying a box::Looks at Rachel::Thats what you do when your brother-in-law is out there killing people? Paige:You call yourself a Charmed One's wife? Rachel: I'm not a Witch, every time I try to tap into the baby's powers I get sparkles and flowers. I can't do anything else, I've been reading books of Mystic things and Witchy things all day. I've been trying to scry, and I've been making potions. Paige:So you decide to take a break? Sit down and look at a decoration magazine. Rachel: I have a baby on the way, I need a half hour to relax from all of these things...and dinner will be ready around 6, I'll be preparing the turkey soon... ::Places the magazine down and pushes herself from the chair, standing up:: What would you like me to do then, Paige? Paige:Haven't you learned anything? Charmed Ones don't eat. You don't know my nephews, you don't know the Charmed Ones. You may think you do but you don't. They have been raised in this. They are warriors and won't rest till they vanquish whatever it is that is in their way. Rachel: Too many things have been in their way...they've told me how they've had their small periods of hardly any evil, and then it bombards them or something else does. I may not know The Charmed Ones but I know my husband and his brothers. Paige:You don't know him and you don't them. You may think you do but you don't. Just because you've been with him for 6 years doesn't mean crap. You're just taking up in this household. Either do something or get out. Rachel: So this is what happens, they keep defeating evil and they turn out like you, dead and still trying to make everything better. Paige, I am doing things, Pierce didn't marry me to help him with magic, he married me because he loved me. Now if you excuse me I am going to go prepare for even more stuff, and then I'm going to get to work on the nursery ::Walks to the stairway and begins to walk up the stairs:: Paige:Orbs away and orbs in front of her:: Paige:Charmed Ones don't live for a very long time. They live for a short period. They never make it past 40 or 50. Rachel: Then Pierce has a good 7 years left ::Walks past her and to the stairway and towards the attic: Paige:Orbs away and orbs in front of her::Either a Demon kills them or a disease comes along. And your child would have to join Isaac and Piper and the other three to start a new generation of Charmed Ones. Rachel: I'm hoping all this gets solved by then...I don't want my child growing up where we have to worry about Demons... ::Walks towards the attic:: Paige:Not you, you wouldn't have to worry, your child will. I saw the future. Pierce is going to have another son...and the son won't be by you. You wouldn't even be living to see his son. Just being honest here. ::Orbs away:: Rachel: Not everyone who is related to a Charmed One dies or leaves them...actually... ::Walks to the Book of Shadows and begins to flip the pages slowly:: Come on Elders...write something new in here... Nina:I don't think they do the writing. ::She says standing in the doorway:: Rachel: ::Looks over:: Long time no see...and I think they do most of the time...sometimes...most of the time. Nina:Walks over to the Book and touches it::Ha...I could finally touch it. Rachel: ::Flips the pages and then shuts the Book:: Why? Nina:Looks at the book then up at Rachel::Guess carrying a Charmed One's baby can make me good? Rachel: What do you mean? Rachel: You already have a daughter don't you? Don't tell me you and Pace got together before this crisis happened. Nina:She's 9. Nina:I'm happy that my daughter is the eldest of the Charmed Ones. Nina:She smiles and touches Rachel's stomach gently: He's strong and healthy. Nina:Her smile then fades away: Get out. Rachel: What? Nina:Pulls her hand away and puts her hands behind her back pulling out a dagger in each hand::The sharp 12 inch long daggers called Lucifers Daggers:: Nina:Her eyes went from brown to yellow::Get out I said! Rachel: ::She jumps back:: Paige! Nina:Turns around seeing Pace:You're not him, you're just taking his body over and I'll make sure that ends now! Pace:Blah-blah-blah-woof-woof. Rachel: ::Gasps and throws her hand forward, sending a beam of blinding blue light at Pace, making her bend over in pain:: Pace:Absorbs the beam stumbling back::Wow...thanks for the boost. Nina:Runs to Pace and kicks him in the ribs then head::She then spun around and kicked him in the stomach::She flipped over him and sliced him in the back:: Pace:Ugh!!::Stumbles forward and turns around fast:: Rachel: ::She feels her stomach and leans against the podium, breathing quickly:: Nina:Rachel! ::She runs to Rachel but Pace grabs her and throws her down:: Nina:Ugh! ::She flips up and kicks Pace in his face:: Nina:Spins around and rams the dagger into his stomach:: Rachel: ::Pushes herself up and looks to Pace, seeing the dagger in his stomach:: ::The Book of Shadows opens and flips to a blank page, text begins to write in light:: Rachel: ::She reads:: Stay in this place, do not leave, Mystic powers conceal this evil, render him powerless, take away the ability! ::Lights shoot from around Pace, and the blood begins to show from his wound:: ::The text on the page suddenly disappears and the Book of Shadows shuts, the triquetra glowing frantically:: Pace:Looks at Rachel::What did you do?! ...I need energy...I need power. Nina:You need help, I can help you! Pace:Get away! ::Throws her to the side with his telekinesis:: Nina:Flies over hitting the wall then falling down:: Pace:Looks at Rachel::You think you could do this to me?! Now you're next on my list. ::He then flames away:: Rachel: ::Opens the Book Of Shadows but it shuts immediately, shocking her; making a white shield deflect her from it, making her hit the bed:: Paige:Orbs in the attic::Looks around seeing a mess then Rachel and Nina on the floor::What happened?! Nina::Gets up slowly::Uh... ::Puts her daggers on the clips on her leather pants::Looks at Paige:: Pace has a hell of a telekinesis throw... ::Rubs her neck:: Damn... Paige:Let me guess, you're Nina? You're the mother of the first new Charmed One? Nina:Yea I guess you can say that. Paige:What happened? Rachel: ::Rolls over from the bed:: Pierce doesn't like to use his powers like that...and...Paige, can you do me a favor and touch the Book please? Rachel: ::Brushes her hair down and sits up from the couch:: Paige:Walks over to the Book and touches it:: Rachel: It shocked me...again... Paige:Looks at Rachel carefully:: It shouldn't. Rachel: It actually shocked me the first times I touched it...Pierce had to write a counter-acting spell. Paige: Of course... ::Looks back at Nina:: What exactly happened? Nina:Pace came in, we fought... ::Pulls out the dagger showing blood on it:: I stabbed him...can't you use this to do a vanquishing spell? Paige:Yes but it would kill him. Nina:No it wouldn't, it would probably vanquish the creature or stun the creature for a while right? It would be like a tranquilizer or something. Rachel: The Book wrote a spell...so I said it...but it didn't work right...it was supposed to take his powers I think... Paige:Looks at Rachel glaring at her:: Don't go near the Book and don't say spells. You're not a Witch. Rachel: Pace constantly told me to say spells...even Price said it was a good idea... Paige:I say it's not. Listen to me and go knit or something. ::Walks over to Nina taking the dagger:: Thanks, I'll work on it. Rachel: ::Stands up and quickly walks out of the attic:: Nina:Looks at Paige: Maybe you should lighten up on her, just a little? Paige:Or maybe I shouldn't. Look, you can't tell anyone this because it would mess the whole brotherly love thing. Pace is my son, my son, not Piper's. I gave him up to Piper a few months after his birth when his father became dangerous. Then we all got split up and Piper thought I had died. I came back to help my son. I need to help him and I'm busting my ass off doing what I do and she's just getting in the way...and so are you. ::She looks at Nina and orbs away:: Nina:Ew, can you say bitch? Pierce: ::Stands up from the stained dirt and the footsteps by it:: Here's the spot... Pierce: ::Stands up and looks to the highway half a mile away:: That's a long distance...but Pace is evil of course. Price:Seriously... Pierce: ::His pocket rings:: Cell phone ::Reaches into his pocket and takes it out, flipping it up and putting it to his head:: Hello? Pierce: ...Right...really? Okay, Nina should know what to do, but keep your distance from her...what? She said that? Okay, well when this is over...or when we get home, she's going up to heaven and staying there...okay, bye Honey. Price:Looks at Pierce:: What happened? Pierce: ::Closes the phone and puts it down:: Pace came... Price:And? Pierce: Nina came, they fought, the Book wrote something, Rachel said it, it backfired and Pace is more vengeful but wounded...so actually it didn't backfire, and the triquetra is glowing and the Book keeps shocking Rachel...and...Aunt Paige is bitchy. Price:Uh-huh. Price:Well, Adrianna said that her house wasn't so far from the woods. Pierce: Lets go then ::He walks through the woods, examining the area as the wind blows towards them:: Price:Follows: Price:Is that it? Pierce: ::Looks to the house and walks forward:: Only one way to find out. Price:Walks quickly to the house and rings the door bell:: Pierce: ::Listens and senses inside:: No one is home...or at least not awake...I'm not picking up anyone-- Price:Ok. Pace:How about I get rid of you two first then Rachel then send Paige back to where she belongs. Pierce: ::Turns around, quickly sending Pace backwards into a tree with a telekinetic wave:: Pace:Hits the tree breaking it in half:: Pace:Falls down rolling into another tree:: Pierce: Free my brother from this hold! Save him from this evil cold! ::Sees lights slightly glimmer around Pace but quickly die:: Price:Looks at Pierce: That was a hell of telekinesis! Pierce: ::He throws his arm, sending Pace upwards into the sky:: Pace:Flies up and vanishes:: Pierce: I'm sick of this! Pace:Reappears in front of Pierce:: Me too... ::Uses telekinesis to throw Pierce into a tree:: Price:Punches Pace in the face:: Pierce: ::Flies and phases through it, rolling on the ground:: Pace:Turns his head to the side::Turns and looks at Price and punches him:: Pierce: ::He jumps up and disappears in lights:: Price:Ugh! ::Flies back half a mile and falls onto the ground hard:: Pierce: ::Appears above Pace and grabs his head, levitating in the air:: GET OUT OF MY BROTHER! ::He focuses his energy on Pace as his hands glow a golden light:: Pierce: ::He focuses and pushes his powers onto Pace:: Pace:Ahhhh!!! ::As he screams his eyes turn black and he begins to glow red and becomes extremely hot:: Pierce: ::He lands and pushes Pace forward and presses his telekinesis onto Pace's body:: Pain should get you out! ::The wind begins to tornado around them:: Pierce: GET OUT! ::The wind picks up:: Pierce: ::He throws his left hand and Pace flies into the broken tree:: ::The wind's direction turns as Pierce looks over:: Pace:Falls down; his slowly looks up at Pierce then vanishes:: Pierce: I don't...know how...you took...control but it won't last much longer... ::Orbs of light appear besides Pierce:: ::The orbs vanish and Price appears:: Pierce: ::He looks to the lights and jumps back:: Pierce: Are...you...okay? ::Breathes heavily:: Price:Yea, you? Price:Where'd he go? Pierce: I dunno, but I was really using my power on him...he should have a major migraine... Pierce: ::He looks around and squints, seeing the wind die down:: Pierce: ::Looks around the area, seeing everything scattered, the house covered with dirt and leaves:: This is why I don't like using my powers all mighty and all. Price:So what now? Pace is going all crazy-psycho on us. I think you hurt him real bad... ::Looks around thinking then looks back at Pierce::I think you drained him...now he's evil, and he needs power, energy, he needs strength. Price:Where do you think he would go for that? Pierce: ...Well it'd have to be body energy...right? He could go to any type of paranormal magic, a lot of them use pure energy...It's not like he needs electricity...like in comic books. ...I got it...the nexus...in the basement. Pierce: ::Grabs Price's arm and shoulder:: Lets go...and hope he hasn't figured it out yet. Price:No, he wouldn't...would he? Pierce that nexus could make him unstoppable. It would drive him crazy, right? Pierce: Pace and that thing inside of him think they are unstoppable...lets just go...see if Nina and Rachel and Aunt Paige have found anything out yet ::Focuses and they disappear in yellow and white lights:: ::Pierce and Price appear in lights in the upstairs hallway:: Pierce: ::Lets go of Price and looks around:: Well I was going for the sitting room but at least we're in the right house. Price:Feels his neck:I'm going to go take a bath, okay? Holler if you need me. Pierce: Okay... ::Looks over to his bedroom, walking inside the room, closing the door:: Hey Rachel... Rachel: ::Turns from sitting at her side of the bed and raises her hand and looks back to the portrait she's holding:: Pierce: ::Walks around the bed and sits next to her:: What's the matter, Rachel? Sitting and crying won't help anything. Rachel: You know what? This is your fight...I don't need everyone and everything pointing signs that I'm going to leave or die or that I need to go somewhere. It's your war, not mine. Rachel: ::Holds up the portrait and throws it at the wall:: You and Price and Pace can do just fine without me, it seems the only reason they can even stand my being here is because I'm carrying the baby. Pierce: That isn't true, Price and Pace have no problems with your being here...and I speak of old Pace when I say Pace. Rachel: ::Stands up and walks to the door:: That isn't true Pierce. Nina said we'd have a healthy baby-- ::She stops and opens the door:: ...Look, after you and Price solve this problem, I want your aunt out of here. She only wants to stop this evil, nothing more. Pierce: I understand...I do...you need to rest, you should lay down. Rachel: If anyone else tells me to lay down or to sit down or to go somewhere, I'm leaving. ::She walks out and slams the door:: Pierce: Great... ::He lays back on the bed:: Just Great... Price:Looks in the mirror looking at himself wearing just a white towel wrapped around his waist, his body and hair wet from the bath he just took::He looks down at his dresser seeing his wedding ring and puts it on:: Price:Looks back up in the mirror seeing Natalie standing then::Turns around::What are you doing here? Where's Isaac? Natalie:I came here cause I missed you...don't worry, he's safe. Price:Looks at her wearing a white long sleeved see-through blouse, underneath a blue belly shirt and a long white skirt::Her hair down waves::Natalie... Natalie:Walks up to him quickly and places a finger on his lips::Shh... ::She touches his lips gently and kisses him softly::Everything will be alright. Natalie:Just be one with me... ::She pushes him back gently onto the bed::And crawls on top of him::Price, I love you so much. I miss being here with you, with Isaac, with your brothers. Price:Oh Natalie, I love you too and I miss you. Natalie:She put her hand on his towel and pulls it off and dropping it to the bedside::Price... Price:We shouldn't do this. Natalie:We can do anything... ::She bends down and begins to kiss him and feel his chest, rubbing up to his neck:: Natalie:Make love to me... Price:He lifts her skirt up putting it over his waist:: Natalie:She leans close to him and kisses him; adding tongue:: Price:He kisses back and held onto her waist:: Natalie:She breaks the kiss and whispers in his ear:: I need power...your power... ::She kisses him again and pulls back:: Price:He opens his eyes to see Pace staring at him::What? Pace:Smiles: Wow, you really are a good kisser... ::He smiles then presses his hand on Price's heart::His hand glows with a blinding white light::He smiled as Price screams in agony::Ahh...this is better then sex! Pace:He laughs as he glows, recharging himself with Price's powers and energy::He then pulls his hand away::Can't take too much, I need you alive now. ::He bends down and kisses his forehead then vanishes:: Price:He lays there in pain::His chest red::He whispers Pierce's name out::He lifts his hand slightly and blows up his bedroom door:: Pierce: Price? ::Walks to the room, looking in, then quickly looking away, then looking back:: Well I see something happened, the question is what... ::He walks into the room and looks back to the doorparts:: Paige:Runs up the stairs and down the hallway quickly and to Pierce::What happened? Paige:Looks in the room seeing Price laying there naked::Price... ::She walked inside and hrabs the blanket from the bed and covers him as she looks at him and feels his forehead::Price, can you hear me? Price:Nat--Natalie... Paige:Looks at him then puts her hand over his chest healing him:: Pierce: ::Looks to the door:: Let the object of objection become but a dream. As I cause the seen to be unseen ::The pieces of the door jump back into the place on the latches:: Pierce: ::Looks to Price and looks back to around the room, sensing the residue of what had happened:: Yeah...I can tell what happened...I think. Price:Gets healed and looks at Paige:Thank you. Paige:She smiles then looks at Pierce::What happened? Pierce: Yeah... ::Sits down against the bed by Price's feet:: Paige:Well... Pierce: Aunt Paige...I think this is a brotherly thing...can you wait outside for a second? Paige:Ok... ::Gets up and walks to the door opening it then walking out and closing it:: Pierce: ::Looks over to Price:: Morphing or an Illusion? I think I know you well enough to know what the half-smirk on your face means...and the other look on your face of disgust. Price:Looks at Pierce:: I didn't know. Pierce: Well what was the end result of this? Price:Gets up and walks over to his dresser opening the draw taking out boxers::He puts them on and turns and looks at Pierce::What do you mean? Pierce: I can tell something just wore you out, and it wasn't making out. Price:Walks over to his closet and opens it putting on a tight sleeveless shirt then putting on faded blue jeans::Turns around and looks at Pierce:: Price:He took my power, my energy. He needed it and he knew from he could get it. Next he'll probably go for the nexus. Pierce: Eww...why can't evil respect the laws of brotherhood? Pierce: Lets go to the basement and practice your power absorbing power...come on ::He takes Price's wrist and opens the door, walking into the hallway:: Price:Why? Who am I going to practice it on? You? Pierce: We've done it before, when you first got the power. Price:Fine. Price:Walks down the stairs and turns looking into the living room::Pierce... Pierce: ::Walks down the hallway and through the dining room, then turns around, walking towards the living room:: Price:We have company... ::Looks at the 12 Demons standing there:: Pierce: ::Stands by his brother's side:: Well you all have some nerve coming into our home like this. ::A Demon steps up standing in front of the other Demons and looks at Price and Pierce::His name is Marcus, a great warrior Demon with powerful powers and a lust for torturing his victims:: Marcus:Looks at Pierce and Price::He wears black leather pants and a black turtle neck and a black leather trench coat::We come not to harm but to talk. Price:We don't talk with Demons. We vanquish Demons. Pierce: If you want to talk, talk now, or forever be in peace ::He holds his arms against his chest:: Marcus:My name is Marcus and this is my army... ::Points to the 12 Demons::I call them the 12 Demons of the Apocalypse. Your brother is going to take over the underworld. And we can't let that happen. Price:How would he do that? He doesn't have the power to do that. Pierce: In fact, your being here is hurting your army, our brother wants power and energy, and being in this house he put just appear and eat you all up. But if you have some advice or help, por tell. Marcus:Looks at Pierce then turns looking at his army then back at the two brothers::You need our help. If he gets his hands on the true Evil Eye and The Box Of Osiris not only will he be able to take over the underworld but Earth itself and the other dimensions. Opening it would be chaos. Marcus:And with The Box Of Osiris, he would be able to ressurrect every single powerful Demon that died or has been vanquished...including the Source and Belthazar. Pierce: A lot of spirits and...whatevers, have passed on to the absence of wherever they go, not everyone can be revived. Pierce: Look, what do you have in mind Marcus? Marcus:Why don't we come together and vanquish this evil brother of yours. Or at least bring him back. Pierce: We'd like to bring him back and vanquish the thing inside of him. Our potions, spells, and powers don't do a lot at him, the bird thing inside of him is practically protecting him. Marcus:The Phoenix cannot be vanquished. Pierce: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure the other magical forces in the world are either helping in or keeping out, eitherway, I'm not sure a lot of other magics can help either. Pierce: If the Phoenix can't be vanquished we need to banish it. Marcus:Laughs:Stupid Witch...haven't you learned anything? The Phoenix is a Mystical bird. It cannot be vanquished and cannot be banished. It will always stay inside of your brother. Pierce: Stupid Witch? This stupid Witch can destroy you, and even if you can do vice-versa I don't think you'd like to try it being inside this stupid Witch's house. Price:Looks at Pierce then back Marcus then looks at his army::Why only 12? Pierce: ...12 isn't a Mystical number. Marcus:Listen Witch...why don't you go up to your precious Book Of Shadows and look us up. Price:Closes his eyes::Book Of Shadows! ::The Book orbs in his hands::He puts it down on the table and sits down and begins flipping:: Price:Stops and looks up at Pierce::He's in here. Marcus:See, I'm famous. Pierce: ::Looks up at Marcus, then the army:: Think you could put your army back where they came from? So that just we could talk? Price:He can't be vanquished but he can banished. His army on the other hand can be vanquished. Pierce: So...be gone...or heh, be gone. ::Looks down to the Book and then to Price:: Marcus:My army never leaves my side. We talked...all you have to do is call our name out if you our help. We'll come to you as fast as we can. We will do anything to defeat Pace...nobody takes over my underworld. Pierce: Marcus, is it, you aren't a really major name? You may be a popular and powerful leader...but there are people above you... ::Looks to the page and flips to another page:: Like this guy... ::Flips another page:: And this guy... Marcus:Those are killing Demons you stupid bit. I'm an Apocalypse Demon. Why don't you call Asia and ask her yourself, or Paige? Speaking of Paige, where is she? Paige:Walks besides Pierce:Marcus... Pierce: ::Looks over to Price and whispers in his ear:: Lets go downstairs and train...I've got the feeling Paige and him had something... Marcus:The last time I saw you I tried killing you. Paige:I recall me trying to kill you for burdening myself and my sisters. Marcus:They called for it. Paige:They did? Marcus:Looks away, then at Paige:How's your son? ::He smiled and teleported away with his army:: Pierce: ::Looks over to Paige, then back to Price:: I'm going downstairs, are you coming? ::Walks to the doorway:: Price:Follows:: Price:Walks to the door and opens it::After you... Pierce: ::Walks down the steps quickly and looks around the room:: We...don't have any cousins...other brothers...right? Price:I don't think so...you know this family...why? Price:Walks to the punching bag and gives it a few good punches and looks at Pierce::We probably do but like far distant? Price:I mean Grandpa Victor had to have relatives...right? Pierce: No not like that...Marcus definitely said Son. Then again, we weren't told about you or Wyatt. Maybe it's one of those exist-in-another-dimension-but-now-no-longer type of things. ::He looks to the door and it closes:: Lets practice... Price:Ok, so what am I suppose to do? Pierce: Okay, lets see...take my power when I use it ::He looks to a 10-weight bar and it lifts into the air and hovers around the room:: Price:What? What? What do you mean? Pierce: Focus on me and see if you can take my power from where you are standing. ::He begins to make the weight twirl over the mats:: Price:Umm, how would I do that? Pierce: Come on Price, you've mastered how to take certain powers while touching me, focus on just doing it from there. Price:So what should I do? Pierce: Umm...put your hand out and focus on my power...like grabbing my power...or focusing on me and taking my power from me ::The weight twirls:: Price:Puts his hand up and focus' absorbing Pierce's power::As he does this his hand closes slowly as if he gripped the power in his hand:: Pierce: I didn't feel anything... Price: ::Squints and the weight flies back to the cabinet:: I did. Pierce: Okay...lets focus on something else...how about my morphing. Pierce: Lets say I'm unconscious and in some protective barrier...and...you need to fool someone...I'm bad at scenarios. So you need to fool someone into thinking your me, focus on taking my power while I'm not using it. Pierce: Because normally when I'm unconscious my grasp on my powers goes away of course, so I wouldn't be in morph. Price:Looks at Pierce and closes his eyes:: Pierce: I don't feel anything... Price:He focus' and he slowly morphs into Pierce::Looks up at Pierce:: Pierce: Ha...never had that happen...like for a while ::Morphs into Price:: We could fool everyone-- Price:And we couldn't... ::Morphs back:: Pierce: ::Morphs back:: That works...okay anything else we should work on? Pierce: I think if you try and grasp my sensing you might have a major blow of everything and faint... Paige:Flies through the door and rolls down the steps and rolls onto the floor::Her head bleeding:: Pierce: ::Jumps back and dodges, running up the stairs:: Pierce: ::Runs into the kitchen and braces himself against the door:: Price:Paige! ::He walked quickly over to her kneeling down::He then looks up the stairs:: Pace:Just like Pierce, always going to make things feel better. Price:Turns around seeing Pace:: Pace:I don't want to hurt you. Price:He stands up::I don't either. Pace:Then don't. Price:I can't let you do this Pace, this isn't you. Pierce: ::Turns around, seeing Pace:: Price use the power! Pace:This is me! I'm free! Your jealous because your stuck here! ::Uses telekinesis to throw Price back: Pierce: ::He turns and jumps down the stairs:: Pierce: ::He squints and throws Pace into the punching bag:: Price:Ugh!!::Flies to the back of the basement hitting a bookcase and it falls on him:: Pace:Flies in, hitting the punching bag and falls down:: Uh!\\ Pace:Flips up and uses telekinesis to throw Pierce into the wall:: Pierce: ::Flies back and disappears through the wall:: Pierce: ::He jumps out from the solid brick and shoots his hand forward; a telekinetic wave hitting Pace, blowing him into the wall:: Pace:Hits the wall and slides down vanishing:: Pierce: ::Runs to Price and throws his hand, making the bookcase flip onto the floor:: Pace:Appears behind Pierce and grabs him by the neck and throws him into the wall extremely hard:: Pierce: ::Flies and hits the wall on his side, slamming into the floor:: Pace:Walks back to the middle of the basement:: Pierce: ::Gets up and throws his hand at Pace, making him jump back a little:: Pace:I call upon the Evil Eye here my call and hear my cry through the wind and through the night--- Nexus open, hear my cry! A tumb a tie na kail moleat oat bonnuis! Pierce: ::Pushes himself from the floor and focuses on sensing the room, hoping Pace's empathy would pick it up:: Come on... ::He focuses, sensing everything suddenly in the Manor:: ::The Manor shakes and the basment floor cracks::Light shines from the crack:: Pierce: ::Feels the floor break in the basement and focuses harder, even feeling the furniture in the attic shake:: Pace:Come to me! Pierce: ::Holds onto his forehead and his telekinesis forces the floor back---his nose bleeding:: ::A black shadow suddenly flies out of the crack and surrounds Pace:: Pierce: ::Struggles, trying to sense everything in the house and channels it to keeping the floor shut:: Pace:Looks to Pierce, throwing him back into the wall again:: Pierce: ::Flies backwards, phasing directly through it once more:: Pace:Come to me... ::The floor opens up and the black shadow flows out larger then grabs onto Pace then sinks into him:: Pace:AHH!!::Falls to the floor:: Pierce: ::Jumps out of the wall, hitting the floor; seeing Pace:: Pace! Price:Gets up slowly moaning low::Looks over seeing Pace::He then ran over to Pierce:: Pierce: ::Throws his hand forward and Pace's neck begins to twist:: I won't let it have you...even if you have to die... Pace:Gets up::He put hs hand up deflecting Pierce's power::He then popped his neck to the left and to the right::He turned around slowly looking down still::He then looked up at his brothers::His eyes midnight black with red vains: Pace:His skin tone pale with red black vains running through his face showing::His hair went from dirty blonde to now black:: Pace:Looks at his brothers::Guess what? :He smiled and says in a Demonic deep voice::The world is coming to an end... ::He then threw his hands out sending electricity shooting at Pierce and Price throwing them back hitting the wall:: Price:Flies back hitting the wall cracking it and falls down onto the floor extremely hard and becoming unconsious:: Pierce: ::Flies back and hits the wall hard, hitting the ground, blood now coming from the back of his head:: Pace:A black flame raises out of Pace and surrounding him then growing into a large shadow of a bird:: Pace:::The bird's eyes open showing red color glowing::Pace then looks at his brothers and screeches before vanishing in black fog and red fire:: |
