Price:In the kitchen on the phone::He's doing fine...he's been magic free--no, he has been using his powers...why? Because we have Demons to vanquish Pops...sorry we can't just walk away from our destiny like that...I know you would... Price:He hasn't been saying any spells or anything...he's good, stop worrying, if anything happens Pierce and I know how to handle it...no such thing as the Evil Eye, I dunno--yea it's still in him, we can't get it out, it's one with him. Rachel: ::Walks into the kitchen, wearing her stylish maternity clothes:: I'm having the baby in a hospital, now shut up Pace! ::Walks in and sees Pace, and turns around, turning around, walking through to the conservatory:: Pierce: Pace leave her alone already, ::Walks from the conservatory and into the kitchen:: Price, when you're done I need to use the phone. Pierce: Rachel stop walking around as much, ::Walks into the conservatory and sits down next to her, holding her:: You need to lie down and just watch some television or something. Price:Hey, it's nice speaking with you but I have to go. Isaac is coming back home from the visit with his mother. He's been away for a few months, like 5. Yea...up there that's 5 days. I have to go, yea love you too--bye. ::Hangs up:: Rachel: Fine, I'll go into the living room then ::Gets up and walks into the living room, sitting down at the couch:: Pace:Follows Rachel::I still say have the baby here. Pierce: ::Smiles, standing up, walking through to the kitchen:: Price:PIERCE YOU CAN USE THE PHONE!! Rachel: I am not having the baby in this old house! My baby is going to be protected by doctors, I don't care how Mystical you all are. Price:Turns around seeing Pierce:Hi... ::Smiles and walks over to the fridge opening it and takes out a bottle of water:: Pierce: ::Stops and looks at Price:: Thanks... Pierce: ::Walks to the panel and presses a button and picks up the reciever:: "Rainy Days" ::Waits slightly:: Hey Carly, Oh, you did? Why? Okay then. I know I've been coming in and staying in late lately. Pace:Rachel--Wyatt, Price, Pierce, Prin, and I have all been born in the Manor, so why don't you just have the baby here. Pierce: With the halt of the second Rainy Days and still needing to find a manager--::He stops:: Fine, I'll talk to you later Carly, take it easy, bye ::Hangs up and walks into the living room:: Pace:And plus if you haven't noticed your child is going to be half Whitelighter, and all Whitelighter babys come out all sparkly. So if you want to have the baby in the hospital with ordinaries then go ahead. Rachel: Look around at you guys ::Sees Pierce walk into the room:: I want my son to be born safely, and have nurses and everyone to care for him. Besides, I'm not letting anything funky happen to him, like your being born in the basement Pace...whatever. Pace:PIERCE!!!!!!! Pierce: Stop yelling at me, geez you and Price don't seem to notice my being here. --Well she sounds pretty set...and who cares, we can use a spell- Pace:Glares at Rachel then looks at Pierce::No...no spells...spells are bad especially for personal gain. ::Looks at Rachel::Have the baby here. It isn't safe in the hospital. The hospital is full of human beings, not Witches. Rachel: Your a huma--::Stops, looking over to Pierce:: You're a human being, we're all human beings. My son just happens to be a bit more. But eitherway, it's my decision and he's being born in a nice safe hospital. Pierce: He? Rachel: ... ::Looks to Pace and quickly to Pierce:: I'm just assuming... Pace:You know what, go ahead! Have the baby in the stupid human hospital! When they find out our secret, you pack your stuff and get out! I can't believe you're going to stop the tradition just because you wanna be with humans! Price:Looks at Pace then at Rachel::The reason why we won't have our children born in hospitals is because of the risk of exposure. If you were a Charmed One you would understand but you're not so you're kind of being stubborn. Price:Plus only one Demon with powerful powers try to come and kill us when a child of ours is being born. Rachel: ::Stands up quickly and walks to the sitting room door:: Pierce: Right...I'm going to go change into something more comfortable...then we can go shopping a little more ::Looks down to his tight A-shirt and shorts:: Pierce: ::Turns quickly and glances to Rachel and quickly walks up the stairs:: Pace:Bullshit! Price's child was born here! We'll never have a Charmed One born in a hospital unless its a non-supernatural one! Pace:Price!! Rachel: ::Walks into the kitchen:: Price do something! Price:Hey, I'm on his side. Sorry but it's better to have the baby here, not the hospital. Thats like us vanquishing a Demon in a park filled with people. People see, freak out, call the news, news comes, and someone gets shot... Price:Picks up an apple and bites into it and chews::Look--::He says chewing::I'm saying have the baby here, if you want it in a hospital then in a supernatural one. Not a human one--::He swallows then bites into it again chewing:: Rachel: ...You guys...are well Guys...You don't know anything about delivering babies... Pace:Walks into the kitchen:And you Rachel...well you're a human...You don't know anything about delivering special magical babies. Pace:I'm summoning Grams! Price:Looks at Pace:PACE! Pace:Looks at Price::What? Price:No spells, remember? Rachel: There's no need to summon her. Pace:Looks at Rachel::Why not, scared? Pace:Looks back at Price:It's just a simple summoning spell. Rachel: I have a question though...how long can she still stay...like...alive up there? It seems like you guys can just summon whoever. Pace:She's dead... Pace:Uh-duh! Pace:Looks at Rachel::Anything else? Rachel: I'm not having my baby here and that's that, okay? Pace:No...Price, tell her! Price:Umm... ::Looks at Pierce::You want more coffee? Pierce: No thanks...and look, supernatural hospitals don't exist so no, we're having the baby in a normal one. Pierce: ...So...Rachel how's Ethan doing at work? Rachel: oh...well...he's okay, still getting adjusted... Pace:So, you're going to risk to be exposed? Pace:I don't follow...not at all...the baby could be born all blue and sparkly with like fireworks but you still want to have it in an ordinary hospital? Pace:This is so bogus! Pierce: Nothing bad will happen...and eitherway, can't we just use some Whitelighter memory dust or some memory spell or potion or any other type of magic stuff anyway? Rachel: --So I introduced Carly to Ethan and they seem to be hitting it off... Price:Hitting it off?--Ew, ew...images... Rachel: Hey you should worry about Pace, not yourself, he's gonna get a mental image the minute he walks into my shop or into Rainy Days. Pierce: I can bet they'll be emitting all types of daydreams and that will just knock Pace over, right? Pace:Standing RIGHT here... Pace:Even if I was upstairs I could probably hear you... Rachel: Yes, well that makes life more interesting in this house... ::The phone rings:: Pace:Looks at his brothers and Rachel:No need to push, I'm sure it isn't for me but let me answer it anyway... ::Walks over to the phone and picks it up::Hello? .......Hold on... ::Looks at Pierce::It's Carly she says she wants you at Rainy Days a. s. a. p... Pace::Puts the phone out for Pierce to take:: Pierce: ::Takes the phone:: Hey Carly Pierce: ::Nods slowly:: Uh-huh...right... ::Looks over to Pace then to his watch:: Okay just stay put, I'll be in my office in a minute... ::Presses the Power button on the telephone and sets it on the panel:: Pierce: Gotta go...crisis... ::Walks over to Rachel and kisses her on the cheek and quickly walks to the door:: Pace:DON'T SAY BYE! Price:YEA WE'LL BE FINE! Rachel: Oh honestly boys... Pace:Looks at Rachel::Tradition reckor! ::Walks out of the kitchen and into the living room and sits down on the couch:: Rachel: Well will a kiss on the cheek make you feel better? ::The phone rings again:: Price:Looks at Rachel:: Rachel: Ugh...I'm pregnant you answer it. Rachel: I'm not taking--oh screw it ::Walks over to the phone and picks it up:: Rachel: Hello? Ethan: Hey Rachel--Hey, don't pick that up ::A crash is heard:: ...the tray will crash and spill all the water...--Rachel, I know you're on maternity leave...but I need you here, its way too busy... Rachel: The shop is never busy...what are you talking about? Ethan: Look I really really really need you here, people are all over the place...its like there are 50 parties at once needing too many bouquets and baskets and stuff! Rachel: Okay okay I'll be there... ::Puts the phone back:: Price... ::She smiles:: Can you take me to my shop? Price:Sure, I have to go to work anyway to pick up some stuff... ::Walks out and into the living room::Looks at Pace watching T.V.::Hey, I have to drive Rachel to the shop and I have to go by the office for an hour or two... Price:Will you be ok by yourself? Rachel: ::Walks over by Price and picks up her pink jacket and her purse:: Pace:Looks at Price::Yes big brother and I'll make sure when I run down the stairs I'll hold a knife towards my chest... Price:That was corny...ok be good and no spells and if a Demon comes just use a potion. Rachel: Okay just don't get possessed again ::Hugs Pace and kisses him on the cheek and walks back to the door:: Price, Ethan sounded really in distress so we better hurry... Pace:A Demon hasn't visited us since they found out I have Mystical being all up in me. ::Looks at Rachel:: I have everything under control. Price:Ok... ::Walks to the door and opens it waiting for Rachel to walk out:: Rachel: ::Smiles and says quietly to Price as she leaves:: He can handle himself... Price:Before he walks out and closes the door he looks back and says to himself::I hope so... Price:Walks to his black cadillac escalade and walks to the passenger side opening the door for Rachel:: Pace:Walks away from the window and walks back to the couch and sits down Indian style::Grabs the remote and starts flipping through the channels:: Pace:Bored...bored...boring!! Pace:Puts the remote down and gets up::Walks to a picture of Piper and Leo::Touches it gently and gets a premonition:: ::A girl runs into a dead end ally way::She turns around to face five Demons::They throw fire balls at her killing her::The Demons walk over to where the girl was and picks up an necklace with an stone on it:: Pace:Stumbles back holding his head::He looked down at his hands seeing that smoke was emerging from it::He looked up::The camera zoomed to his face to show his eyes turned fully black::He then flamed away:: Girl::Runs down the ally way to an dead end::Just great... Girl::Turns around to see five Demons in front of her::Look, I ain't no hoe and you ain't my pimp so why you guys on my back like I was your trick? Demon (1):What? Girl:Sorry...too much slang there... Demon (3)::Takes a step towards Billie pulling out a shiney dagger:: Girl:Oh, hell no...that's a no-no, put that down before you cut somebody... Demon (4):That's the plan... Girl:Oh, so you want to get all dirty? Well I come from the not so ghetto but I can kick ass! Girl:I'm a high white belt in karate! Demon (5)::Kill her... ::They all form fire balls:: Girl:Oh...I get it...Mr. Dagger dude over there with the acne problem wants to cut me up so you guys can put me on fire and make some sushi? Well save me some! ::She looked at them and started laughing and stop when she noticed they weren't laughing:: ::The Demons throw the fire balls at Billie but before they could hit her they blow up:: Billie:Stumbles back and falls down onto the ground::That's right! Look around as if I did that! Pace::Flames in the back of one of them and snaps Demon 1's neck:: Pace:Flips over a Demon and grabs the Demon's dagger stabbing him::He then turns around and throws a fire ball at another Demon:: Billie:Holy shit! Pace:Turns and looks at the girl::WATCH YOUR MOUTH! ::Says in a deep Demonic voice:: Billie:Ok... ::The two Demons that were left ran at Pace::One threw a punch but Pace grabbed it's fist twisting it and kicking the Demon in the stomach sending him flying against the wall:: Pace::As the last Demon ran at Pace, Pace spun around and punch the Demon in the chest::His fist went through it::He pulled his fist out holding the Demons heart in his hand:: ::The Demon blew up:: Pace:His eyes go back to normal::He stumbles to the side but catches himself::Turns around and looks at the girl::You ok? Billie::Gets up and walks over to Pace::Yea...you must be Pace...I'm Billie. Pace:How'd you know my name? Billie:I was sent here because they--::Pointing up:: told me that I would get help from my far far, REALLY far distant cousins, the Charmed Ones which are Price, Pierce, and Pace. Pace:Oh-Ok... Billie:Hey you think you could lend me ten dollars so I can go and buy a bottle of Pina Colada? Pace:WHAT?! Billie:What a girl can't drink? Pace:How old are you? Billie:17 Pace:I'll give you the ten dollars in 4 years. Billie:Come on I was just about to die, can't a girl get her drink on once in a while and get TIPSY? Pace:What? Billie:EVERYBODY IN THE CLUB GETTING TIPSY!! Pace:What the hell are you on? Billie:Speed...and you? Pace:Glares at her:: Billie:Just kidding, I'm clean like Whitney Houston and Monica Lewinski... Pace:Raises an eyebrow::You're corny... Billie:Just because I want to get tipsy? Pace:Exactly... Pace:Come on... ::Puts his hand on Billie's shoulder:: Billie:What are you doing? Pace:Trying to learn how this thing works... ::Closes his eyes and they both teleport away:: ::A light flashes as Pace and Billie appear in the sun room:: Pace:Looks at Billie:Stay here and don't touch anything. Billie:Don't worry P, I ain't gonna cop anything...nothing good to cop here anyways, my grandmother has better things to fetch. Pace:What? Billie:You have nothing to steal here, God, get in the zone. Pace:Rolls his eyes and walks into the kitchen and to the phone: Pace:Picks up the phone and calls Pierce:: Pierce: ::Puts the cell phone to his ear and presses himself against a wall, right by the kitchen, sighing:: Hello? Pace:what's wrong? Pierce: The entire restaurant program went crazy, we lost all of the orders placed and the payroll and all that...but it's trying to be set back up. Not just that, but there was a fire in the kitchen...How am I supposed to make another restaurant across town when this one has crises? Pace:Oh, that's nice...listen I had a premonition about a girl getting killed by five Demons. I'm ok, thank God! Oh and so is the girl, her name's Billie and she claims she's our really far distant cousin sent here so we can protect her from some great evil. Pierce: Okay whatever I'll deal with it when I get home, just keep her protected and you know...bye Pace! ::Closes the phone:: Pace:But--::Puts the phone on the hook and sighs:: Pace:Walks through living room and into the sun room looking down::Well you could just--::Looks up seeing a Demon lifting Billie from the floor choking her:: Demon:His hand glows bright yellow::I'll take you before she takes you! Billie:She grabs hold of the Demons arm trying to pull the hand off from around her neck::She looks over to Pace and says through telepathy ~Help Me...~:: Pace:Hey! Demon:Turns his head looking at Pace::This does not concern you, Witch! Pace:Actually, it does... ::He forms an energy ball and throws it at the Demon:: Demon:Looks away from Billie and at Pace seeing the energy ball::He puts his hand out sending it back at Pace:: Pace:Gets hit and flys across the sun room hitting the wall cracking it and falling onto the floor:: Billie:She begins to lose consiousness:: Pace:Gets up standing up fully::He levitates up, his eyes turn black::Let her go! ::He threw his hands out in front of him sending electricity bolts flying at the Demon:: Demon:The Demon tries to ignore the pain::He then transfers his pain into Billie:: Billie:She screams in agony:: Price:Walks through the front door::Throws his keys on the table::Hears screaming::HELLO?! ::Closes his eyes and orbs away then orbing into the sun room:: Price:Looks over at Pace:Oh, no... ::Looks over to the Demon and the girl::Throws his hands at Pace freezing him::He then turned and threw his hands at the Demon blowing him up:: Billie::Falls down to the ground hard::She reached for her throat and began coughing:: Price:Walks over to Pace and hovers in the air::He then put his hands out touching Pace's face:: Pace:Unfreezes::He feels his powers being drained and looks at Price::His eyes turn normal::Before he fell to the ground unconsious Price caught him and hovers back to the floor:: Price:Walks over into the living room holding Pace and lays him on the couch:: Price:Walks back over into the sun room and looks down at the girl::Who the hell are you? Billie:I'm fine, I think I can live. Billie:Gets up slowly brushing herself off:: Price:That's nice, who are you? Billie:My name is Billie Combs, I'm your far distant cousin. Price:You're going to be really far when I blow your ass up. Billie:Say what G? Price:I'm not your G, what the hell is a G anyway? Billie:You guys are real old...I wonder if Peter acts like you guys. Price:Who's Peter? Billie:Piece? Price:Oh, Pierce. Billie:Almost had it. Price:Walks into the living room and walks over to Pace: Pace:Opens his eyes slowly and looks at Price::Hi...what happened? Price:Oh, you went all evil, but I think in a good way while some Demon was killing Gangster girl over here. Price:Turns looking at Billie:How did you survive being electricuted? Especially by the Phoenix. Billie:The who? Price:Forget it... Pace:Gets up slowly and stands up: Pace:Looks over at Billie::Sorry about that... Billie:It's cool, no problem...just don't do it again. Pace:I won't... Billie:You better not or I might just have to put you in a world of HURT! Price:Looks at Billie then at Pace then back at Billie:Okay... Billie::Where's the bathroom I really have to pee... Price:Eh--second floor, down the hall, next to the guest room. Billie:Smiles:Thank you... ::She turns and walks out of the sun room:: Pace:She is wierd... Price:She is just young and has no idea what is going on around here, I need to call her parents and ask about her. Rachel: ::She walks into the shop and stops, surprised by the empty room:: ...Ethan? Ethan: ::He walks out of the back room and smiles, stopping at the counter:: Hey Rachel, I'm glad you finally got here. Rachel: Ethan, ::She walks forward:: Where is everyone? You said it was horribly busy and you were swamped...I don't see...anyone... Ethan: Well everyone just left, that's why...ironic I guess. Rachel: You said you have bouquets and baskets planned for parties, didn't you? What about those? Ethan: Oh, yeah, I got that done too... Rachel: Wait...what's you do? What's wrong? Ethan: Nothings wrong, it was just...funny I guess. But now that you're here-- Rachel: You used your wizardry didn't you? No Magic Ethan, especially when there's no need, geez... ::She turns back around:: Ethan: Look you left me here all by myself to do all of this! Rachel: ::She turns back:: We've discussed this before, Ethan... ::She looks to his face and tilts her head slightly:: Ethan: ::He looks away, turning towards the door:: Rachel: Wait--Ethan...what's wrong? Ethan: Something's off...something's wrong...that's why I wanted you to come in...I had to get all of these people away and get only you in here...I had to let you know. Rachel: What's wrong? What...like supernaturally, why not just tell the brothers? Ethan: The threat is becoming more of a concern, and if I know about it I don't need them suspecting me when all I'm trying to do is help. Rachel: Well...tell me what it is then...what's the problem? Ethan: There's...well...My powers were acting up earlier this morning and late last night, and I couldn't figure out why, so I investigated...and there's going to be a great power used to let something really evil free... Ethan: The biggest thing we've seen yet...and all I can feel is that someone new in your lives is going to be hurt or taken by it, and I just felt the need to let you know...you all don't need anymore trauma in your lives... Rachel: Ethan... Ethan: If I can help...I will. All I did was talk to some other magical figures around town...the Brothers could do the same easily...just by talking to the higher forces. Rachel: The Elders? Ethan: Yeah, those higher forces... Rachel: I'll...relay the message...there's a threat that is bigger and badder... Ethan: Sorry if I brought you down for nothing...after I called I used my magic to get everyone out of here and happy... Rachel: Oh no, it's fine...It's fine Ethan, thanks... Rachel: ::She turns back to the door and turns back:: Think you could taxi me back to the Manor? Ethan: ::He smiles:: Sure, of course I wasn't imagining helping like that...but if by helping the big Mama then sure! ::He walks over to her, smiling, taking her arm as he focused and touched his wand on his side:: Rachel: Beam me up! ::They disappear in a glow of light:: Price:He walks around as he holds the phone to his ear:Oh--okay--uh, she's doing fine. She can stay here for a few days--I understand that she's a handfull--No::Laughs::She just makes herself at home...I'll enroll her into the closest public school...Ok--ok--no problem, have a nice day Price:Hangs up::Looks over at Pace:Thank GOD! They can talk for hours. Pace:Well what did they say? Price:Well Billie is trouble but she can stand on her own two feet and keep her head on her shoulders. Pace:Ok, but the question is what does she want from us? She wouldn't just come here for a family reunion she wants or needs something...like our help? Price:He turns his head quickly looks at his brother::What? If she needed our help she would've just asked already. That's what most people in need do when something is up. Rachel: Hey Guys... ::She walks into the room from the sitting room, the blinding light just disappearing behind her:: I'm back ::They both look at Rachel and smile:: ::They both look back at each other:: Rachel: ...What? Rachel: I know that look, why are you giving me that look. Pace:Look, two Demons attacked her in one day, ONE day. If she wasn't something big then they wouldn't attack her...and the Demon from the sun room said that she needs to be killed before the other woman gets her. Rachel: Oh that reminds me, I got told some big information on my day out. Price:Looks at Rachel then back at Pace::So what are you saying? Pace:I'm saying let time takes it's course. She has to tell us what's happening, she knows our names and who we are. She wasn't surprised when we used magic in front of her, so by the end of the day she'll tell us... Pace:Looks at Rachel::You decided to have the baby in the Manor? Rachel: Uh no, anyway, it was..."there's going to be a great power used to let something really evil free..." and "it's the biggest thing" and that..."someone new in our lives is going to be hurt or taken by it" Rachel: I think that's all...yeah. Ring any bells? Pace:Walks over to the cabinet opening it and taking out a box of cookies::He turns looking at them both and opens the box::He takes a cookie out and takes a bite of it:: Pace::Hmm...nope...it sounds like what we go through every day. Rachel: Pace...what, did nothing I say mean anything? Rachel: Someone new in our lives will be hurt or taken by it, who is new in our lives? Pace:You and the baby... Pace:Well you aren't that new... Price:Looks around the room then at Rachel::Billie! Pace::Looks at Price::What? Rachel: Who's Billie? Price:Now I get it! ::Turns and looks at Rachel::Pace gets a premonition about Billie, she is attacked by a Demon, she's saved by Pace, she comes here, attacked by Demon. Price:The Demon says "if I don't kill you she will", she's saved, she gets electricuted by Pace and survives, she was sent here by the Powers That Be. Price:She's protected by their magic unless something darker and evil tries to harm her... Pace:Looks at Price::Darker and evil? Price:Looks over at his brother::Yup... Pace:Asia...God we really need to vanquish her ass! Rachel: Yes...she'll probably be the one to let the big bad evil into the world. Rachel: Where's my hubby? Is Pierce not back yet? Pace:If he was he would be in here with us, don't you think? Rachel: You know Pierce, he's everywhere at once...besides, don't be smart mouthed, I'm a pregnant woman carrying a huge weight and I am ready to attack. Pace:So am I... Pace:Ready--to--attack that is... Rachel: ::She squints and looks to Price:: So where's this new girl? Price:We need Billie to tell us the 411 but I don't want it to sound like we need to know when we do need to know and--she was using the bathroom but now she's probably in your room looking through all your make up and stuff... Rachel: Oh no she doesn't... ::She turns and walks up the stairs in a slow, gradual, fury:: Pace:Uh-oh... ::Growls::Get her and bring her down! MEOW!!! Price:Looks at Pace in a worried way:: Pace:Smiles and looks at Price looking at him::What? Rachel: ::She walks into her bedroom, pushing the door in, seeing a young girl rummaging through her normal clothes:: Hey! Rachel: ::She looks on her dresser and around the room and sees her shoes and make up scattered:: ...My...stuff...No...Hey! Hey! Billie::She turns around and looks at Rachel::You must be Rachel, I'm Billie... ::She holds up a white halter top::I like this... Billie:Calm down, if you keep with the stress rate you ain't going to be a mother. So can I have this shirt or not? It's not like you're going to need it, you're pregnant, and when you give birth you're going to have to wear a gurttle. Rachel: ...Yeah, I liked that too...What? Wait, who are you again? Rachel: And how'd you know who I was? Billie:My name is Billie Combs, I'm the brothers far--far--real far distant cousin. Billie:And you have name plate earings. Rachel: ::She smiles, sitting down on the bed:: Well It's nice to meet you Billie...so...do you like anything else in my closet? Billie:Yea you have some pretty hot material...some of these clothes you aren't even going to be able to fit in...it's going to take you at least a year to get rid of the fat that you're going to have after you give birth. Billie::Also, you aren't a size three anymore so I should have your jeans too, along with your make up because nothing can fix that face of yours...not even plastic surgery. Rachel: ::She clutches the comforter and forces herself to smile:: Thanks... Billie:Smiles:No problem...but I think I could help you out... Rachel: Great...I think I'm going to go...find something to eat...or something... ::She stands up, walking out of the room quickly:: Rachel: ::She walks down the hallway and down the stairs, quickly walking into the kitchen:: ...My clothes are fine! Price:Huh? Rachel: That little wench was saying my clothes were bad and that my face was awful and...UGH! Pace:She's just saying that because she wants your stuff. Rachel: ...I need to eat... ::She heads to the refrigerator:: Pace:Where's Pierce? Price:Don't know, haven't heard from him 'till we split this morning. Rachel: Still at work? Did no one call him yet? Pace:Nope... ::Gets up and walks into the dining room:: Pace:Walks forward and stops stepping into something wet::He looks down and steps back seeing green goo::He touches it and places it to his nose::Oh--no--::He looks up and is attacked:: Pace:Ugh! ::Falls down onto the floor while a dark navy blue Demon creature tries to choke Pace: Demon:She is to die! Pace:Pri-- Demon::He punches Pace twice and grabs his head bashing it into the floor::She must die! Rachel: ::She walks in:: Hey Demon! Demon::Doesn't bother to look at Rachel and uses telekinesis to throw her into a wall:: Rachel: ::She flies back but lands safely as a shield forms around her:: Rachel: ::She looks up:: PIERCE! Price:Hears Rachel scream for Pierce and runs into the dining room::Huh?! ::Turns looking at Pace and the Demon::Oh! ::Throws his hands freezing the Demon:: Rachel: Price, Good! Rachel: ::She looks up:: Pierce!!! Pace:AH--::He looks at the Demon seeing it frozen and crawls his way out from under the Demon and to his feet::This girl is on every single Demon's Christmas List. Pierce: ::He appears in front of her:: What? I was just up to the front steps... ::He looks over:: Oh...a Demon... Pace:I should vanquish it right here and right now...but we need him alive... Pierce: Unfreeze his head or something, Price ::He walks next to Price:: Pace:Don't do that either... Price:Why not? Pace:It's an Aufer Demon. They are well trained assassins that kill other Demons. They are usually on the good side but if it wasn't for Rachel I would've been dead. They have poison in their tongue, nails, and weapons. Pace:So if you unfreeze his head he could shoot poison out of his tongue onto you and you will die within three hours. They are humans-turned-Demons...most of them are half breeds. Rachel: What did I do? Pace:You came in and screamed. Rachel: Ah ::Smiles:: So what should we do with the Demon? Pierce: Crystals? Pace:Yes, the crystals would do...Price if you could orb him up to the attic that would be terrific. I'll meet you guys up there in a few, I just have to get something from the sun room. Pierce: Okay... ::He turns to Rachel questionably and walks up the stairs:: Price:Looks at Pace::What's wrong? Rachel: ::She follows, looking to Price as she walks up:: Pace:Looks at Price:Huh? I'm perfectly fine, I just don't like the idea of an assassin Demon coming after me. Price:Walks over to the Demon and puts his hand on it's shoulders:It's alright, bro... ::He smiles and orbs upstairs to the attic with the Demon:: Pace:He continues and walks to the sun room::He looks over to see his locket on the floor::He walks over to it and puts it on::He turns around to see Billie:: Billie::Y--you ok? Pace:Yea, I'm fine. You should probably start to unpack and camp in with Rachel. Billie:Camp in? Pace:You're going to be Rachel's new roommate, I'll talk to my brothers and Rachel and just settle in right now. ::He walks past her and up the stairs:: Billie::She looks down and turns looking at the stairs:: Price:Places down the last crystal and walks over besides Pierce and Rachel::Anything in the book? Pierce: Nothing except what Pace said, that Aufer Demons are Demons that kill other Demons... Price:So basically they are on our side? Pace:Walks into the attic::Yea they are but sometimes they could change and just attack a human or Witch in our case. I just want to know why it would attack us when we posed no threat. Price:Looks towards Pace:Maybe he wanted to see what the house was like? Pace:Walks up to them::The crystals ready? Price:Looks at Pace:Yea... Pace::Looks at Price, Pierce, and Rachel::You guys ready? Price:Looks down at the book and scans it::Umm...there's no vanquish spell nor potion. Pace:Oh well-Price unfreeze him. Pierce: I can hold him in place if you want... Price:I think we should find a way to vanquish him before we unfreeze him. Pierce: Well the freeze should last a while, we could do that. Pace:Just unfreeze his head. Price:Fine--::Flicks his hand as the Aufer's head unfreezes:: Pace:If you try to poison us then you'll die...if you try to get loose it won't work cause you'll die...so basically you just have to talk. Aufer:He looks at the four of them with disgust:: Price:Why did you attack us? Your kind is supposedly on our side. Aufer::You are protecting the wrong innocent...the innocent you are protecting must die... Price:Looks at the Demon:He whispers to his brother::Billie... Pierce: We don't let innocents die. Aufer::As long as she is alive your lives will be filled with Demon attacks! It won't be the same! Pace:Sorry but our lives haven't been the same since we were about in our early teens. Pierce: Who is this innocent we're supposed to be protecting? Aufer:The girl::He hisses:: Pace:What about the girl? Aufer:She is the key to--AHH!!! ::He screams in agony and blows up:: Pace::Turns quickly looking at Price::What was that for?! Price:I didn't do it... ::He looks back at Pierce and Rachel:: Pierce: Well that was...well that happens a lot doesn't it? Pace:Somebody's here... Asia:Appears::Bravo... Pierce: ::He turns around the room and stares around the room, seeing Asia:: Asia:Long time no see... Pace:What do you want? Price:Seems like a lot of Demons want to get killed today. Asia:Don't feel so proud, I killed the poor little Aufer. Pace:How about I vanquish you once and for all? Asia:Just because you have the little Phoenix thing in you doesn't mean you are super-man...I'm a GOD--you're just a Witch with a Demon spirit in your body. Pierce: ::He looks around the room, slowly walking towards the door:: Asia:Pierce if you try anything I'll kill you. Pierce: I doubt it...I wasn't even going to try to hurt you or anything... Pace:What do you want with the girl? Asia:So it's a girl? Pace:Did I say that? Asia:Don't play games with me Pace...but, thanks for the tip. ::She smiles and flames away:: Pace:Shit... Price:Looks over at Pace:It's not your fault, I would've said the same thing, but now we have to be careful because for some reason all these Demons want Billie and if Asia wants Billie then this girl must be something big. Pierce: Gonna go find Billie... ::He turns and goes up the stairs:: Pace:I need to take a walk... ::He turns and walks out the attic and down the stairs:: Price:Looks at Rachel::So, I guess it's you and me. Rachel: Guess so, so what's the plan now, Price? Price:Find out what Billie is really about then try and protect her. Rachel: Well Pierce went to go find her, but I'd probably have an easier time helping her get settled in. Price:Yea, she could use some female bonding instead of guy bonding or something. Rachel: ::She laughs slightly, looking down and flipping through the Book of Shadows slightly:: Pierce: ::He knocks on the open door and walks in:: Billie--Hey Billie::Turns around looking at Pierce::Oh, hey... Pierce: So...where are you from? I think it's best if we know a little about you. Billie:Looks at Pierce::I'm from Los Angeles and why do you want to get to know me? You writing a book about me? Pierce: Well you just so happen to be a key to something big, and soon before you know it you'll be getting sought after by many Demonic forces, so its good if we know what to put on your obituary... Billie:She looks down pausing and turns around to look at him::I never thought you would find out that way. I know I'm something big and Demons been attacking me since I got here even on my way here. They told me the Charmed Ones could help me--that you guys would protect me... Pierce: We can protect you, if you doubt us just ask any angel, Witch, guardian, etc. etc. and they'll tell you we're the biggest Witches out there. Billie:Listen kid, don't put words in my mouth. I never said I doubt you. Pierce: "Kid?" -Well Billie, do you have any special gifts or anything? Billie:I'm not sure...they said my gift was death...whatever that means. Where do you keep the pearl? I forgot to bring mine... Pierce: Pearl? What? Pierce: ...The...scrying crystal you mean? Maybe? Billie:I get this power once a month and in order to control I need this tube that--well you know what I'm saying right? Pierce: ...Not really... ::He looks behind him:: Oh here comes Rachel... ::He quickly turns around and leaves as Rachel looks to him with an odd look, turning to Billie:: Rachel: Hey... ::She closes the door slightly:: Billie:Hey...sorry about earlier I didn't mean to go through your stuff like I did. Rachel: ...No, it's okay...just...don't ever do it again and things will be fine. -So, what were you and Pierce talking about? Billie:You know the usual, Demons, spells, sex, divorce. Rachel: Oh, the normal...wait, divorce? Billie:I'm joking Rachel, where's your funny bone? Rachel: It's lost somewhere...So, what powers do you have? Billie:I don't have any... ::She snaps at Rachel:: Why is everybody so damn interested in my powers or where I came from or anything?! Just leave me alone! ::She walks quickly pass Rachel and opens the door walking out slamming the door shut:: Billie: ::She shudders from the door's closing and turns, laying on her bed:: Billie::Skips down the stairs and past the kitchen:: Price:Looks over seeing Billie walking::Hey, Billie where you going? Billie::Out! ::She walks to the door and opens it walking out slaming it:: Price:Uh--is she allowed to go out? ::He looks at Pace:: Pace::No, not really... Price:PIERCE!! We have a situation! Price:Walks into the sitting room::She's been gone for about half an hour, we need to find her. Pace:Well you should've just run after her. Price:By the time I got outside she was gone. Pierce: Maybe she can teleport or something? Pierce: ::He stands up from the table and puts the scrying crystal down:: I'm just going to sense her and teleport to her... Pace:Hmm...if she could teleport she would've teleported out of her. Pierce: ...Maybe she got kidnapped...after all, the crystal didn't work... Pace:Maybe she did...but I don't think she would. Pierce: She didn't kidnap herself, Pace. Price:Maybe she just went to go get some ice cream...I'll try and orb to her. I'll call you guys if anything. ::He looks at his brothers and orbs away:: Pierce: Well that was random...And Price, also random, so yes, completely forget what I said and do it your own way, Price...I'm going to try to find her as well... ::He stands up and disappears in lights:: : Pace:How do you know she didn't? Alicia Silverstone did it in Excess Baggage. Pace:Ok...so what am I suppose to do? Asia:Flames sitting on her throne::She looks over at her Oracle who is a handsome, muscular, male with short black hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, wearing white silk pants::Oracle, tell me what you see... Oracle::He smiles and looks at Asia::I see you, the Charmed Ones, and the girl. Asia:What about the girl? Oracle:Demons are after her for one reason and one reason only. She is the key to Normuck's ressurrection. If you could get Athena's Box and set him free you'll have complete control over his mere soul. You would just need Billie to make him flesh and bones. Asia:Easy to say and easy to do. Oracle:No so easy...Athena's Box is guarded by your siblings. They aren't too fond of you. They'll kill you and that is an option. Asia:So, I'll kill them before they could kill me, I'll take the box and come back here. It's easy Oracle, see you just have to watch and learn. Oracle:This girl... Asia:She sits up::Yes? Oracle:She doesn't even know what powers she holds. Asia:Wait...the Powers That Be send a girl down and they give her powers? How typical, nothing is easy...anyway, what does she have? Telekinesis, premonitions, freeze, explosion? Which one? Oracle:None... Asia:None? So what is her power? She has to have one of the Charmed Pricks' powers. Oracle:She holds the power of death. Asia:Oh no...watch me tremble in my pants. Everybody holds the power of death. Oracle:With the wrong touch she could kill you. She could bring the dead back, she can give life, she can take life. Asia: ...What? Oracle:Apocalypse. Asia:Oh...oh no... Oracle:I fear too but we must be strong. Asia:I don't fear...I'm just mad because I thought I was the Apocalypse...this girl is going to die. Oracle:You need her alive to bring Normuck back. Asia:Who the hell is this Normuck? Oracle:The first evil to be born on Earth. If you can ressurrect him then you can take his powers and you'll be stronger then ever. You could make this world tremble to it's knees. Asia:She raises an eyebrow::I like how you play your cards--Looks like I'm making a visit back to the hell hole. Billie:She walks past an alleyway and down towards the beach, watching as the water seeps towards her and back: Billie:She turns around, getting a chill, turning back forward, looking around: Umm...hello? Pierce: ::He appears from mid-air in abnormally blinding bright lights and lands:: Billie! Billie: Whoa! :She runs over to him: Hey, you all right? Pierce: ::He stands up, pushing the sand off his clothes:: Well it was hard to have to find you after you left, but worst of all of this, something's following you...watching you... Billie: How do you know that? Pierce: Because I've never had to focus my energy that hard before to actually materialize once I found you...so that means that there's something that wants you to be alone... Billie: But since you're a Charmed One you got through...wow...like I said, I never doubted you. Pierce: Great...but we have to get out of here...you shouldn't be alone outside, places like Parks, beaches, forests, open areas with no people...well Demons attack there... Pierce: Plus, a very very powerful Demon, Asia, is after you...we have fought her many times...she's really strong...we've never defeated her...and if she's after you, and she is, you can't be here. Billie: Well I ain't going back, not until your crazy wife and your brothers calm down...I don't need anymore stress... Pierce: You...do realize you came to us, don't you? Your sort of need to be around us for us to protect you. Billie: Look Pierce, I just want some time alone...so go back home, nothing's going to happen to me--Pierce...why--what's wrong? Pierce: ::He looks around some more:: ...Something's here... ::He turns, looking next to the building by them:: Billie:She backs away, standing behind Pierce: ::A force flies out at them and knocks them back, throwing them into the sand:: Pierce: Ugh! ::He pushes himself up, looking to where the force came from:: Billie:She looks up, pushing her hair back: What the hell! Demon: ::She appears in a blast of light and raises her hand, glowing, making Billie levitate into the air:: Billie: Hey! :She kicks and scrambles: Pierce: ::He jumps up:: HEY! ::He throws his hand forward and the Demon flies back in a gust of wind:: Demon: :She flies back and lands, throwing her hand forward, a bright energy bolt flying out to Pierce:: Pierce: ::He gasps and phases, the bolt flying through him into the rocks behind them:: Billie: Help--:She gasps, her kicking stopping: Pierce: ::He throws his hands forward and to his side, and the Demon flies forward disappearing in yellow light, reappearing into the large rock:: Demon: Ah! ::She glows in red lights and explodes while screaming:: Billie: :She falls onto the sand, regaining her breath: Pierce: Billie! ::He runs over to her:: You all right?! Billie: :She waves, regaining her breath: Pierce: Lets get going...we don't need this again... ::He holds her shoulders and they disappear in lights:: Pierce: ::They appear in the sitting room, he turns, looking around:: Price? Pace? Rachel? Pace:Pours the potion into capsules::Looks up hearing Pierce's voice::In the kitchen! Pierce: Come on... ::He walks to the kitchen:: I found Billie, killed this feisty Demon, smelled the fresh water, saw the pretty seagulls. Pace:Sounds like fun. Billie:She sits on the bench by the island and takes a banana, peeling it: So, what's next? Price:Orbs back::Hey I can't find--oh there you are. Pierce: Ice Cream, geez Price, you can't even sense people like I can, you sure you just didn't want Ice Cream? Price:I went to look for her Pierce... Price:Why don't you go upstairs and get the book. Pierce: I suggested I would do it, then you went off for no good reason at all, and just wasted your time. And I'm not going upstairs, I just killed this feisty-ass Demon, so I need to sit ::He sits next to Billie:: Price:Raises his eye brow and orbs away:: Pace:Mm... Pierce: Eh... ::He looks to the potion Pace is making:: What is that? Pace:Oh it's to protect Billie, she drinks it and some how she's protected. Pierce: So she gets stabbed and somehow stays alive? Great. Pace:No...the potion will send Demons away from her. rPierce: ...What, like Demon-B-Gone? They get too close and it hurts their noses and they run off? Pace:If they're in a certain distance of Billie they blow up. Pierce: ...I doubt that would work just by her drinking it, unless it omits something inside of her to blow them up... Pace:Pierce--shut up. Pierce: ...Right... Billie: Hey If I can kill Demons by simply walking past one on the street then give me it! :She looks to Pierce, smiling: Pierce: ::He looks over to Pace:: Now look at what you've done. Pace:Fine I won't give it to her. We just need to watch you Billie like 24/7. Billie: Oh Come on P, I'll be good... Price:Walks into the kitchen with the book and places it on the isalnd:We also need to get you into a school. Billie:Looks to Price:Damn and I thought I got a get out of school card. Price:Just because Demons and Asia are going to be after you doesn't stop you from getting your--what do you kids say now-a-days? Edumacation is it? Pierce: Price...get out more...You can't escape from school, Billie...besides, he means Magic School...don't you Price? Price:Looks at Pierce and rolls his eyes::No, I mean a regular high school. Billie: Ha...yeah...school...sure... :She looks to Pierce: No I want to go to Magic School! Since Price doesn't want me to, Magic School it is! Price:How about...no? Billie you don't make the rules, I do. Price:Besides you have no powers anyway what's the use of going to a Magic School with no powers? Billie: ...Fine...You're right... Price:You'll go to Bayside High, you'll like it there. We went there and it was nice. Pace:Yea, I'll just place a protection spell on the school. No Demons allowed in. Price:Looks to Pace then to Billie:And we'll pick you up after school. Pierce: ::He looks around, obviously disapproving:: Billie: :She looks to Pierce, then to Pace and Price: ...Okay...Good Plan! :She smiles, and places the banana peel on the island: Price:You better throw that out and since you're here you get some chores. Billie: What? Chores? No...sorry but that ain't happening. :She picks up the banana peel and walks to the trash can and places it in: Oh...I'm tired, all that work... Price:Pierce and I will be gone during the day cause we work. Pace is home all day, he doesn't work... ::Looks to Pace seeing that he is giving him the evil eye:: Well he has a club that isn't even up yet I may add. So you'll be ok. Pace:Looks at Billie smiling:: Billie: Well...if you think its the best thing...Well I'm going to go...clean up or something... ::She walks to the doorway:: Pierce: ::He looks to Pace:: ...What's she planning? Pace:Nothing... Pace:Ok so I guess I'll call Bayside High tomorrow and tell them they have a new student. Price:I'll write the protection spell and Pace you can read it when you get to the school. Pierce: ...If you guys think this is best, then I'll let you two do this...but I don't think this is a good plan...there's too much out there that can hurt her...especially if she has no powers. Billie: Great... :She walks out, and to the living room, lying on the couch:: Price:I'll also try to see if I can work at home...in the mean time I'll go summon Natalie and ask her why Isaac isn't home yet. Price:Looks to Pierce::In a regular school is best for her...you want her in the Magic School, convince Rachel to have the child in the house. Price:Looks to Pierce::Thought so... ::Orbs away:: Pierce: Oh...hell no...Price! ::He quickly walks out, heading for the staircase:: Pace:Pours the liquid into a capsule::He puts the cork in the capsule and places the capsule next to the other ones::As he turns he gets a premonition of Asia in hell killing her siblings and getting hold of a box::He looks up and disappears in a bright light:: Pace::He reappears in the attic::Guys! Price:Jumps up from Pace's sudden arrival::Holy Shh--what the hell is that? Did that come with the package? Pierce: --This isn't over-- ::He turns, putting his hand to his side, looking to Pace:: Pace:I just got a premonition of Asia in hell or somewhere that looks like hell. Price:And she was burning in the firey pits? Pace:No--she killed I guess her siblings and then took some box. Pierce: A box...wait, how'd she kill her siblings? What did the box look like? Pace:Fire balls...the box was big--had some type of symbol on it too. Pierce: What type of symbol? We can look it up. Pace:He closes his eyes and gets a flashback::He opens his eyes and walks quickly to a notepad and takes a pen::He draws the symbol down and walks quickly handing it to Pierce:: Pierce: ::He studies it:: Wait, I think I've seen this before... Pace:A circle with a sword in the middle, the sword is like piercing the heart. The heart's surrounded by fire. Notice that the upside down pentacle is in the middle of the heart. Pierce: So in other words, the circle represents continuity, the sword is power, the heart is the controlling important force, its surrounded by hell, the pentacle is magic I guess... Pierce: And if it was on the box, that must mean that enormous power is in there...and if Asia gets it...well damnit didn't we face something like this before? Price:Pierce...he said upside down pentacle... Pace:Which means evil. Pierce: Well...I was just going to go with magic and evil then...look I came this far with interpreting it, give me some credit now... Price:Fine you get an A with a cookie, happy? Pierce: Yes...and a star... ::He walks to the Book Of Shadows and stares at it, the pages flipping magically:: Lets see if there's anything in here... Pace:We need to hurry and get down there before Asia gets the box. Pierce: We can't...we need to know what we're dealing with, if her siblings are there, we aren't strong enough. And besides, if that's a box, it needs a key, and if everything is making sense right now, we have to hide Billie. Billie: :At the door: What's the matter? Pace:Looks quickly at Billie:Go into Rachel's room...you're uh--grounded! Price:Looks at Pace confused:: Billie: That's all? Oh come on, send me somewhere cool, like this Magic School you keep talking about! Pierce: I'll do it... ::He raises his hand quickly:: Price:Throws his hands freezing Billie:: Price:No... Pierce: Oh come on, it's the safest thing to do. Price:Fine, go ahead. Pierce: She can't die in Magic School, if we send her up there then the Whitelighter thing could happen again, --Good ::He focuses and moves his hand up and she disappears in lights:: ...I've been practicing that. Pace:Ok, lets go...NOW! Pierce: Okay, remember, we're powerful too, lets go kill some Demonic ass... ::He stands next to his brothers:: Price:Its morphin' time! Pierce: That line never worked for me in the past, and it certainly won't for you... ::He takes his brothers' hands and they disappear in bright lights:: Pace:Looks at his brothers and raises an eyebrow::Whatever... ::Disappears in blue flames:: ::Pierce and Price appear in bright yellow lights, behind a large rock formation:: Pierce: ::He looks to his left:: Why does Pace like doing that? Pace:Blue flames appears next to them::What you guys hiding for? Pierce: Surprise is always best... Pace:Not for me... ::Gets up and begins to walk:: Pierce: ::He closes his eyes and opens them:: There are other forces in here...Pace... Price:Looks to Pierce quickly::Is he crazy? This Phoenix thing is getting to his head. Pierce: Like...some type of shield...something... Well he can get hit first... There's some type of protection in here, the power I'm sensing...the box seems to be everywhere...it'll probably be formed when the siblings all die..I thought she had killed her siblings... Price: Guess not. Pace:Walks up to large doors about 50 feet tall::He backs away and looks at it::He raises his hands as the doors fly open::He walks inside looking around the temple:: Pierce: ::He steps from the formation, and looks at the door, feeling the flood of energy from behind the doors:: I could bet you money that as soon as he tries anything it won't work, Price. Price:I bet you your plasma T.V.. Pierce: I said money, not my electronics... Price:Fine, I bet you 50 dollars. Pierce: Damn it,--fine. But you aren't the one with the sensing ability and the one with this huge force hammering against your brain. Price:Aww poor Pierce. Pierce: --Damn it, do something Pace... ::He takes a few steps forward with his brother:: Pace:Listen, we need to talk...Asia is coming here to destroy you all. She is coming for a box that we believe holds evil. ::A voice speaks out::WITCH! If you know what is best for you, you will tell your brothers to leave! No Witches or Charmed Ones are allowed here...coming here is committing suicide! Pace:AND IF YOU MAKE US LEAVE YOU ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE TOO! Pace:Listen! I'm not taking NO for an answer! We help the innocent and if the Powers That Be didn't send me that premonition we weren't meant to help you! But they did so we have to help your Demonic asses! ::Three figures walk out of the darkness and stand across from Pace and his brothers:: Pace:Looks at the three::So how about we stop the bitching and join forces. Six against 1, we can take her on. Ianx:That's my youngest sister. Price:Your youngest sister is going to destroy you all for a box. Pierce: She isn't going to be gentle, this isn't the first time she's thought about killing you all, I'm sure. Risia::Why would she want Athena's Box? Victorious:Unless the prophecy came true... Ianx::She could only get the box if she vanquishes us... Pace:Well that's why we are here, to stop it. Pierce: ::He flinches:: I think that's about to happen... Risia:Looks up::I can feel her... Risia:She's--HERE!!!!!!::She screams as she blows up:: Pace:Looks across from where Risia was---seeing Asia:: Pierce: Saw that coming... Pierce: ::He looks to the other siblings:: GO! Asia::Wow, a family gathering with a few close friends...how touching. ::She waves her hands throwing the brothers back against the wall:: Pierce: ::He flies back, hitting the wall and onto the floor:: Pace::He hits the wall and falls down to the floor hard:: Price::He orbs away before hitting the wall:: Ianx:Asia! You don't have to do this... Victorious:Come home to us... Asia:Wow, I just killed Risia and you two still want me back, you two must really love me after I killed daddy dearest. Asia:Throws a fireball at Victorious:: Victorious::Looks at the fireball and steps back as it freezes::He looks to the side to see Price:: Price:See, we are on your side! Pierce: ::He looks up, seeing Price not there:: See I didn't think to phase like that... :He stands up:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand, the fireball hitting the floor:: Asia:Her eyes turn red::She throws her hands making Pierce disappear and appear in the attic in the Manor:: Price:Watches Pierce disappear::PIERCE! ::He looks over at Pace on the floor and runs over to Pace:: Come on bro, get up! Victorious::You won't get the box! ::Throws a fireball at Asia:: Asia:Raises her hand sending it back to her brother::It hits him and he blows up:: Pierce: ::He reappears harshly onto the floor from mid-air:: Ianx:Asia! You need to stop this nonsense! Asia:Sorry big brother, I really need that box. Pace:Levitates up::His eyes white:: Asia:Looks at Pace:What the hell? Pace::Shoots out electricity:: Asia:Oh shi--::Gets hit flying back hitting the wall::She puts her hand out sending a fire ball hitting Ianx vanquishing him:: Pace::His eyes turn normal as he faints:: Asia:Looks up at Pace and Price::Uh--::She gets up slowly::She looks to where Ianx was to see a box appear::Bingo... Price:sees the box and runs to it:: Asia::NO! ::Throws her hands sending Price, Pierce, and Pace back to the attic:: Asia::She flames away and flames to the box::She looks at the box as her eyes widen::She gets a hold of the box and flames away:: ::Price and Pace appear in the attic::Price stumbles as Pace falls to the floor:: Pierce: Yes, don't let me do it, you stubborn boy, "Let me do it Pierce, I'm not hurt that badly" ::He hands an ice pack to Price:: Pierce: ::He kneels down and carries Pace to the couch:: Price:Puts the ice pack on his kneck::I could've gotten it...I could've just orbed it to me. We need to go and get it. Pierce: I know we need to get the box back but we can't with Pace unconscious... Price:Only if Pace stayed all high power for a few more minutes I could've either saved her brother or at least got the box... Pierce: ::He looks over to the bookshelf and moves his hand, making the box on the shelf glow and crystals appear around the attic in a circle:: ...Just to be safe...at least we can walk as we please but evil can't. Pierce: Well you know, Pace loves to do whatever he wants, and since he thinks he's almighty he does as he pleases. Price:Want to know something? Pierce: What is it Price? ::He looks down to Pace, moving some of his hair out of his face:: Price:He sent Asia flying at least 20 feet. He hurt her pretty bad, he might be the key to vanquishing the hell dimension bitch after all. Pierce: What--Pace? ::He looks down to Pace, moving some of his hair out of his face:: Price:I'm going to orb to Asia, maybe I could sneak and get a hold of the box? Pierce: Wait...Did he not just almost--die? Sorry...by the time I got back there I fell hard...hang on--No--No No No, you aren't leaving by yourself. If she has that she is way too strong, I'm not letting you commit suicide, Price. Price:Somebody needs to watch Pace and somebody needs to get the box. Pierce: Billie can watch Pace... Price:She has no powers, how is she going to protect him and plus she needs protection herself. Pierce: ::He places his hands on Pace's hand and his chest:: I'll just send him to Magic School... Pierce: Then she can watch over him, and they'll both be safe, and when he comes to he can find us, he knows how. Price:Fine, go with him to the Magic School and explain everything to Billie, I'll wait here. Pierce: Fine... ::He disappears in blinding lights with Pace:: Price:Walks over to the table and writes a letter to Pierce and Pace::As he finishes he holds it up and reads it::Sorry for leaving you guys behind, I'll be ok, I'll call for help if I need. Love, your brother, Price. ::He places it down: Price:He walks over to a dresser and opens a drawer taking two potions out and then orbs away:: Billie: ::She skims a bookshelf in the library, turning around:: There is nothing of interest here! ::She turns and walks to a window, looking out, seeing its translucent:: So is there even an outside to this place? Billie: ::She walks to the main doors and down the hallway into the Lobby, seeing Pace lying on a couch and runs to him:: Pace! ::She examines him, touching his cheek slightly:: Pace? Billie: ::She looks around:: Billie: HELLO?! WHO THE HELL LEFT HIM HERE, CUZ SOMEBODY BETTER GET THEIR ASS OUT HERE AND HELP ME OR I'M GONNA KICK SOME MAGICAL ASS! Pierce: ::He walks quickly to her:: Geez, well it's about time, I practically got lost just trying to find you in this maze anyway. Billie: What happened to Pace? Pierce: Asia got this magical box, now she has all the evil power or something, going to try and kill everyone or something...Pace used all of his almighty strength, got hurt, now he's unconscious. Billie: Damn...well why are you here? Pierce: You need to take care of him, watch him, when he gets better get someone around here to heal him, now I have to go find Price because I know he's done something stupid. Billie: Okay, will do, be safe and have fun or I'm doomed. Pierce: Thanks...guilt trip... Pace:His eyes open quickly::He throws his hands out sending Billie and Pierce flying back with a blue electrical shock:: ::They fly back but stop abruptly in the air and onto the floor:: Pierce: ::He lifts himself up:: Damn it Pace... Pace::The blue electrical wave goes in and out of them and flies back to Pace::He sits up quickly::Uh-- Billie: ::She stands up:: Thanks Pierce... ::She looks over, seeing a mirror, then quickly looks back to Pace:: LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO MY HAIR! Pierce: Umm... Pace::Where am I? Billie: Geez--::She takes a step forward and gasps and collapses onto a couch:: Pace:Looks over to Billie::You'll be ok, just got the wind taken out of you, sorry. Pace::Where's Price? Pierce: You're in Magic School... ::He concentrates and stands up quickly, holding his head:: Doing something stupid...go find him please... Pace::Stands up and disappears in blue flames:: Pierce: I'm going to go get Rachel, bring her here to be safe as well, and she'll watch over you... Price:Orbs behind a wall::He looks at the potions::You things better work... ::He steps out from behind the wall and begins to walk:: Price::Sees two Demons guarding a door::Hey, is Asia in there because I've been dying to get her autograph, heard she's really big now since he has the box and all. ::The two Demons look at Price and they both throw two energy balls:: Price:Waves his hand deflecting it::He puts his left hand up sending an energy wave which hits the two Demons making them burst into flames:: Price:He watches as they disappear in the thin air:: Price::He presses his back next to the wall and closes his eyes:: Price (Astral Projection): Appears inside the room::Looks at Asia sitting on her throne with the box by her side::Hey there ugly lady. Asia:Looks up smiling at Price:Thought you guys would come. One? Where's the rest? Price:I gave them the night off, the human side is tired but the Witch side isn't. Asia:You forgot the Oracle side and the Whitelighter side and the death side. Price:Death? Asia:The girl...with her staying with you three you'll notice she doesn't like to sleep much. Price:I came to vanquish you. Asia:Laughs:Like I never heard that already. You tried and you failed--YOU MUST MOVE ON MAN! Price:Not until your ashes lay on the floor. Asia:Squints her eyes grinning::By the way how did you astral project in here? Price:Brothers help brothers out. Asia:Hmm...well I'm getting sick of you. ::Throws her right hand sending an energy bolt at him:: Price:Throws his hands blowing it up::As it blows up he is thrown back and vanishes:: ::He goes back to his body:: Price:He opens his eyes and walks to the doors throwing his hands making the doors explode:: Price::He raises his hands as the room begins to fill with fog:: Asia:Great now you're doing magic tricks? Asia:She looks around as the fog becomes thicker::Nice but I'm nicer! Asia:She turns to her left to reach for the box but it isn't there::No--::She waves her hands around::No--::She waves her hand::Clear! ::The fog vanishes::She sees the box is gone::NOO!! Pace:Appears in blue flames::He's gone Pierce. Pace:Left a note saying he's going to be ok. Pierce: Gone where? ::He walks to Pace from Billie and Rachel:: Price:Orbs besides his brother holding the box::Got you two an early present. Pace:Athena's Box... Price:In the--wood and metal? Pierce: Ummm...I'll take that since both of you get persuaded a lot ::He takes it gently and holds it in his hands:: Should we give it to the Elders? Pierce: We can't destroy it...and we can't let her take it back--How'd you get it back? Price:Powers...all of them. Price:Fun actually. Pierce: Wow, even fog? You never use fog. Price:Cause I hate it, stupid power but it proved me wrong. Pace:Lets keep the box in attic. Pierce: No...that wouldn't be safe Pace. Pace:Yes it will, by the book surrounded by crystals. Pierce: No...that isn't enough, not for this... Price:I don't trust the Elders. Pace:Avatars... Price:Quickly looks at Pace::My ass... Pierce: Well the Elders are the highest things up there...we can't give it to anyone but the Elders. None of the other 'Powers' that wannabe... Price:I don't trust the Elders... Pace:LEO!! Pace:Looks around::LEO!! Price:Looks at Pace::What are you doing? Pace:He can help us. Price:Like hell he won't! Pace:LEO!! Pace:I KNOW YOU HEAR ME NOW YOU SHOW YOURSELF RIGHT NOW! Pierce: I think he just doesn't trust your intentions, maybe that's it... Leo: ::Appears out of blue orbs nearby:: Price:Looks at Leo and orbs away:: Pace:Looks at Leo::We need you to guard this box with all your life...or whatever you have. Leo: Is that...what I think it is? Pace:Yea, yea, yea, now go, take it, protect it and don't forget to sob and feel guilty that you were and still are a horrible father and terrible liar. Leo: ::He takes ahold of the box and disappears in orbs:: Pace:Looks over to Pierce:: Where do you think he's going to bring it? He can't bring it to the Elders...you think he'll bring it to the Elders? Pierce: I think he will...he knows better than anyone that anywhere else won't contain enough magic to make it safe. Pace:But, HELLO-the Elders hate us and we hate the Elders, we don't follow their rules, we break them. Even if I need all the healing in the world I would never EVER call on the Elders nor Leo. Pierce: Well that's where the line is broken, because I would...now I'm going to go around the city...world...where ever...gain information, and I'll be back in a few hours... Pace:Gain information on what? Pierce: What's going up in the world now...and the girls need to stay here, we can't have Billie or Rachel leave because they are both in danger then... ::He smiles fakely and disappears in lights:: Pace:Looks to Rachel::How are you in danger? Rachel: ::She points to her stomach:: Baby. Pace:What about the baby? Pace:It kicked?! ::Walks quickly over to her and feels her stomach::Aww the cute little baby that kicked, HI THERE! HI!! Rachel: ...Pace...the baby is powerful, so if all hell breaks lose I don't want to be out there...and yes... Pace:Steps away looks at her::How do you know if the baby is powerful? Pace::Puts his hand up::Don't really want to know... ::Disappears in blue flames:: Billie: That boy is crazy... Asia:AH!!::Throws a fireball blowing up the table:: Asia:Turns quickly to her Oracle::I NEED TO GET THAT BOX BACK NOW! Oracle::Hovers in the air as if he was sitting indian position:: You need to calm down...you will get it back. Asia:HOW?! Oracle::They have a weakness... Asia:Yea I know, Billie... Oracle::Think again... Asia::Grins::Should I do it in a threatenly fashion or a bribe? Oracle:Bribe isn't so well with the Charmed Ones neither is an threat. You need to just take full force. Oracle:Act as if you weren't yourself and you'll get in the garden of good. Asia:And this bitch will make the garden evil. Oracle:Yes... Asia:Smiles::I like your taste, I was going to kill you but I think I'll have you stay around. Oracle:Appears in Asia's face::You'll die before you kill me... ::He smiles and teleports away:: Asia:What? What does that mean?! Asia:Looks at her nails::Damn it I broke a nail! Billie: ::She hops from off the ladder and looks around:: There isn't one damn book that I use to help me figure out why I'm so special... Rachel: You just have to be patient ::She lifts up her yarn and sticks and begins knitting:: I feel old... Billie: Yeah? Well I'm bored as hell here and there ain't nothing good going on...I'm...gonna go...it's way too stale here. Rachel: ::She laughs slightly:: You can't leave Billie, you think you'd be able to get out on your own? Not going to happen. Billie: So you'll help me then? Rachel: What? No way, forget it. I'm sitting on a nice couch here, I'm not even standing up. Billie: Well with Price angry and doing something, Pierce exploring, and Pace doing who knows what, I might as well get to do what I want. Rachel: ...Are you stupid? What is it, do you have some disability? We. Can't. Let. You. Leave. - You. Are. Too. Important. Right. Now. Billie: O. k. a. y... ::She turns and walks down one of the corridors:: Rachel: Billie...Billie get back here! ::She throws her hand up bright pink sparkles fly out and wrap around Billie, causing her to hover back and sit on the opposite couch:: Better. Billie: How the hell did you just do that... Rachel: ::She smiles:: Just some advantages of being a Mommy. ::The lights in the room go out:: Billie: Great...what'd you do now? Rachel: ...I didn't do anything...but this isn't good... ::A strong wind blows throughout the room:: ::The doors slam shut and so do the windows:: Rachel: ::She turns quickly, looking around:: Billie, get near me... Billie: ::She launches across the room, running towards Rachel:: ::As Billie runs she is sent flying back against the wall:: ::A figure grabs ahold of Rachel holding both her arms and her throat:: ::The lights turn on::The figure appears to be Asia:: Asia:Hey there hunny, how's the baby? ::They both disappear in flames:: Billie: Look, I said she left with that woman, that's all I know! We have to save her, come on we can't just stay here talking! Pierce: Look I know dammit! ::He circles around the lobby, stopping:: PRICE! PACE! Pierce: Damn it...she shouldn't have been allowed in there...I don't know what she did but Asia shouldn't have been able to get into that place... Billie: Well can't you just sense her and get her back? Pierce: No...Asia doesn't let her plans be so easily manipulated...she's wanting for us, and I NEED MY BROTHERS FOR THAT! COME ON DAMMIT! ::Bright orb lights appear in the room as Price and Pace appear:: Pierce: Rachel got kidnapped by Asia--we have to get her back! Pace:Where do you think she would've taken her? Price:I know that she wouldn't take her back to the lair because she would be waiting for us. Pierce: Well...we can always try to sense for her...scrying and by my power...but other than that I can't think of anything... Pace::He walks over to the couch and picks up Rachel's jacket::He gasp for air as he closes his eyes::He gets a premonition of Asia and Rachel in the attic::She comes back opening his eyes and looks to his brother:: Price:What did you see? Pierce: Great...just what I was counting on...yeah, what'd you see? Pace:I saw Rachel and Asia--in the attic together. Pierce: She wouldn't be stupid enough to go to the attic with Rachel. Pace:She wants something...a trade...she want's the box. Pierce: We can't give her the box... Billie: Well duh Pierce, listen P, what we need to do is do something unexpected, that's what we need to do. Pierce: That was really informative... Billie: ::She quickly looks to Pace, holding her arms across her chest:: Pace:Well...we could act like we were trading and then Price can freeze Asia. Pierce: Price, would it even work this time? Price:Nope...And I think she'll be ready for me this time. Pace:As for Rachel...Pierce is she is more important than a box that could contain destruction? Pierce: ::He swallows, looking to Price then to Pace:: --What? Price:What he's trying to say is are you willing to lose your wife and son over this box? Billie: Wow, you can cut the tension in the air with a knife in here... Pierce: I'm not going to lose my family over this, I don't care what, in the end everything will turn out right, we're just going to have to be creative to do this... Pace:So lets go in and get Rachel back. Price:Pierce get the box, I'm going to head down to talk to my brand new friend. Price:Orbs away:: Pierce: What the fuck Price?! Pace--lets get going...sorry Billie, but you'll have to stay here. Pace:Smiles at Billie and disappears in blue flames:: Billie: Sure...but I'm going to go somewhere where there are people around, I don't need to get attacked by some bitchy-ass ho... ::She turns and walks down a corridor:: Pierce: ::He looks down--his eyes filled with stress--his family hanging on the line, he disappears in lights:: ::Blue flames appear next to a bright light:: Pace:Alright, I'll go and get the potions from the kitchen...stay right here. Pierce: Okay, fine, ::He holds the box in his arms:: Can we do this now? Pace:Wait till I get the potions, be patient...I'll be right back. ::He turns away from his brother and quickly but silently walks into the kitchen::He walks up to the potion cabinet and opens it::He takes out three potions, one blue, one green, one red:: Pace::He turns around and walks back to his brother::Got them, lets get this bitch over with so I could get some sleep. Pierce: Okay, but we need Price first... Pierce: And what's the plan? And why aren't we in the attic? Pace:I had to get the potions...the plan is we give the box to Asia, get Rachel, I freeze Asia and take the box back and then we vanquish her sorry ass. Pierce: What, you're going to freeze her with ice? You're not Prin...sorry Pace, but I'm just not sure if we've thought of everything... something...just seems missing, bro. Pace::He raises the blue potion::This is the potion to freeze, turns the Demoness of hell into a block of ice. We call for Price and then we vanquish her. Pierce: ::He takes out a piece of paper:: If it works...here's the spell... Pace:Takes the paper:: ok, lets get Rachel back. Pace::Looks at Pierce then at the stairs:: Pace:You don't expect me to go first...--Uh-oh... ::Closes his eyes:: Pace (Astral form)::Appears next to Pace::He looks at his body then at Pierce::Guess I'll just play with Asia, my body'll wake up soon. When you hear me scream then come, okay? Pace::Smiles::Good... ::Disappears:: Pierce: Why can't I just astral project...ugh... Price:Orbs into Asia's lair::He looks around at the throne, books, potions, etc::Damn, living in a Witches world... ::He turns seeing the Oracle:: Oracle:What have you come here for? Price:What's in the box? Oracle::Looks at Price with a glare:: Price:Don't tell me chocolates... Oracle::You poor Witch, you have no clue what is going on, what is going to happen. Price:Looks at the Oracle and laughs::Actually we do, big bad, big monster, oh I'm so scared. Come on now can you guys do any better? Oracle:And that is when you are absolutely right. If Billie touches Athena's Box she unleashes the first evil that was ever born on Earth. How's that for a scare? Price:What? Oracle:Before you come in here and act like you own everything, do your homework. His name is Normuck, nor Demon, Witch, or Warlock. No other known creature. Simply evil...he thrives through every evil on this planet. Billie was sent here for a reason, to be killed. Price:His eyes widen as he orbs away:: Pace(Astral Projection):Walks into the attic not seeing anybody::He walks into the middle of the attic::Hello? Asia? Rachel? Pace(Astral Projection):Gets a strange feeling and turns around seeing a fireball flying directly at him::It hits him making him decinagrate:: Asia::Appears by the book::Stupid...STUPID WITCHES! DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY YOUR GAME?! Pace::His eyes open wide as he gasp for air::He looks at Pierce::That plan didn't work. Pierce: ...What...happened? Pace::Oh nothing...got hit with a fireball...no biggie. Pierce: Attic? Pace:Yea, but they aren't in there. Pierce: Well...where's Price? We need to get this ball rolling, I don't know how many more potions we can keep making to prepare for this... Price:Orbs down besides Pierce::I'm right here, what happened? Where's Rachel and why do you still have the box? Pierce: Leo said the Elders couldn't take it--that this wasn't their fight. And well we were waiting for you, now lets get to it. ::He holds up the box:: Price:Ok, I'll orb up there and freeze the room. Pace:Then I'll teleport up there and have the unseen be seen. Pierce: And if that doesn't work, I'll go up and use my telekinesis to shield us from anything. Price:Looks at Pierce then at Pace:Ok, see you guys... Price:Orbs upstairs into the attic:: Price:As he appears he throws his hands freezing the room::He turns around to see a dagger inches away from him::He grabs it and throws it to the floor:: Pace::Blue flames appear next to Price::Let the naked eye see the unseen, let this spell be placed so mote it be. ::Asia and Rachel appear::Asia is standing by the door::Rachel is by the window levitating:: Pierce: ::Gold lights appear next to Pace and he holds his hands out, hesitating at Rachel's tears:: Price:Looks at Rachel::What? Come on they're frozen, get her over here so we could vanquish Asia. Pierce: ::He nods and moves his hands towards him, making Rachel hover towards them quickly:: Price:Pace, get her to the Magic School... Pierce: ::He nods and wipes his face with his sleeve:: Yeah... Pace:Right. ::He levitates up and floats over to Rachel::He takes her in his arms and disappears in blue flames:: Price:Turns around to see Asia gone::Looks back at Pierce::She's gone! Pierce: Hmm...I took the box to a safe place before I came up here, just to be sure. Where would she go? Rachel was what she was hoping to use to trade...what else would she take? ...Who else would she take? Price:Shield! ::Gets thrown across the attic in the mid air::Everything in the room slows down:: Asia::Appears and walks up to Pierce:: So easy... ::Hovers her hand and the box shines underneath his arm, she takes the box and walks towards the window and flames away:: |
