Pierce: ::He rushes over, helping Price up:: She got the box. Price:Helped up::Thanks... Price:Alright, she has the box, how did she unfreeze? Pierce: You didn't really freeze her? Price:I froze the whole entire room...we need to get that box back, if we don't then--we just need to get it back and fast. Pierce: We have to get Billie up the to the Elders...Magic School obviously isn't safe enough for her... Price:You go to Magic School and I'll whip up a potion that is so powerful that it'll blow up the city. Pierce: Great, easier said than done! ::He disappears in bright lights:: Price:Walks quickly to the Book Of Shadows and as he reaches for it the book shocks him sending him back sliding against the floor:: Price:Ugh! ::He looks at the book and gets up slowly::Why give me the power to steal powers and when I steal a Demon's power I can't even touch the book. ::A male voice echos throughout the room:: It's not because of that... Price:Looks around quickly::Who said that? ::A gas of smoke appears behind the book::The fog vanishes to reveal a teenage body:: Price::Looks at the teen:: And who are you? ::He asks with an attitude:: Man::I'm a messenger... Price::Good or evil? Because mostly good messengers appear in white shiney bright light and the evil guys shimmer in or just appear in black fog. You came in with greyish-white fog...I'm impressed, I finally see that somebody is creative. Man::I'm nor good nor evil. I'm just a messenger sent from a higher being...higher than the Elders. Price:Oh--great...the Elders, why don't you just tell them to hop off our di-- ::He looks at the expression on the guys face:: Nevermind... Price::So what? You're from the higher beings or the Powers That Be? They said a boy to us? Because if you are tell them I want to get a refund on this stealing, absorption power thing because it's not cool. I can't even touch the book sometimes. Man::Your head is full of worries...don't worry...in the end everything will fall out right, if you play the game correctly...you need to go now and create the potion. Use the herbs in the cabinet you used to vanquish the Omin Demon along with those to destroy a high-level Demon--minus the skin. Price:What you see into the past? Man::Past, present, future, beyond the future...it comes with the package. Price:Oh-ok... Price::Grabs the book and walks towards the door:He turns around::You know--I never got your name. Man::You don't need to know my name...tell everybody I said hi. Price:Uh-huh... ::Walks down the stairs:: Man::Smiles and vanishes:: Billie: Damn I can't stand all of this waiting! See, you can sleep without worries, but with the guys running around I am stuck in this dusty library! Pierce: ::He appears in bright lights:: Hey, so the Elders said they don't want you, but that Magic School is being closed down because it isn't safe since Asia got in here. So in other words, we have to hide you so all evil doesn't break loose. Billie: Great, somewhere else to go, isn't that just great... Rachel: Pace just came by a little while ago...I'm not sure where he went. Pace:Walks into the room holding two medallions::Ok, I found these...well I stole these from the storage room. Pierce: And they are? Pace:Invisiblity medallions, when you are scared you become invisible or a shield comes over you. Almost immunes you to the magic...now why couldn't they give this to us? Pierce: Well, if we weren't given them, it is because they probably backfiring or something. Why do we need those anyway? Pace:To protect Rachel and Billie. Pace:Hands them to the girls:: Rachel: ::Puts it around her neck:: Billie: ::Puts it around her neck:: Good thinking P. Pace:Yea I know I am the "bomb." Pierce: Good, well this makes me feel a lot better. But since Magic School is being closed down, we might as well get back to the Manor. If Asia can get in here, I'm sure she's made it so anyone else can. Pace:Alright, lets go. ::Bright lights appear in the living room::Pierce, Pace, Rachel, and Billie appear:: Pace::Price, where you at?! Price:I'm in the kitchen! Pace:Walks into the kitchen and sits on the stool by the island::What you making? Price:A potion... Pace:What type of potion? Price:The one that gets rid of the hairs on your back... Pace:Is there such a thing? Price:No, I'm making a potion to vanquish Asia. Billie: Look at the cool glowy thing Pace got us, ain't it cool? ::She holds it up at him:: Ain't it cool? Price:Looks at Billie::Don't you have--homework or something? Billie: Are you joking? Pace:Looks at Billie::Sadly...he's not. Price:Throws a pinch of an herb in and smoke blows out from the pot:: Billie: Don't blow up the house now... Pierce: So...Magic School is closed down for the time being, and the Elders don't want Billie though Asia could let out this disaster with Billie's help. Price:Finished... ::He takes a baster and sucks up the liquid and squirts it into three capsules:: Price:Asia can't even get up there...what are the all powerful Elders scared about? Pierce: Uh, Price, she got into Magic School, that's how Rachel got kidnapped, who knows if she can do better, besides, they don't like to get their hands dirty, that's why we're here. Price:I should make a potion to vanquish the Elders... Pace:Our father is an Elder, Price. Pierce: Eh... Price:Ok...and your point is? Pierce: -Exactly. Billie: Ooo, this sounds interesting. Rachel: Don't bother, its not worth it...just a bunch of crisis anyway... Pace:Listen, lets just focus on getting that box back. Pierce: Yes, lets. Price:Alright, well we know where the hag is but we need a plan to find a way to get her still...she's too powerful and fast for even us. Pierce: And dragging any other magical forces into this would just be disastrous. Billie: Why don't you guys just use me as bait, and then she'll come, you guys get me out of there, and use all of your magic on her and vanquish her ass? Price:We tried vanquishing her a million times...I just hope this potion works. Pace:Yea, me too. We even used the spell our mother and aunts used to vanquish the Source and even that didn't work. Pierce: How is it different from every other potion, again? Price:Well this potion has ingredients that we've never used before. It also has Belthazar--Cole's blood in it. Pierce: Oh, even better. So Billie, I don't think we'd be using you as bait, it'd be way too easy to snatch you. Billie: Why don't you guys just use me as bait, and then she'll come, you guys get me out of there, and use all of your magic on her and vanquish her ass? Pace:Yes and if Asia can slow time down then you're in her hands, not ours. Billie: Oh, well at least I suggested something. Price:Looks at Pace thinking then looks to Price::Asia can slow down time right? If I try hard enough can't I speed it up and also slow it down? Pierce: Well...you have had problems with your power slowing and speeding up at times...so yes, I guess so. But you never test out your powers though, so who knows... Billie: Well I think that'd be really cool Price, you should try it. Price:Looks at his watch then to his brothers and Billie::I have to meet Natalie up in the attic. Try and create a spell that could bring Asia to us. I believe that if we summon Asia we could get her off guard. Also place a spell so that nobody could get out with using magic. Billie: Natalie? Pierce: Will do Price, will do. Rachel: Natalie is Price's wife...she's an...angel. Price:Smiles and walks out of the kitchen and upstairs:: Billie: Oh. Neat. Pace:Looks to Pierce:I'll go and create the spell so that nobody could get in with using magic. I suggest you write the summoning spell. I also advise that we summon her in the sun room, ok? Pierce: Okay. Pace:I'll be in the other room if you need me, ok? ::Turns and walks through the kitchen door and into the dining room:: Billie: I'll go with you ::She gets up and follows him:: Price:Stands in front of a circle of white lit candles::...The great divide. ::He finishes the spell::Bright lights appear in the middle of the circle::The light vanish as Natalie appears:: Price:Hey there beauty. Natalie::How are you Price? Price:Not so good, we have a whole new big bad and now we have a cousin that just came out of the blue. Natalie::Oh, yes I've heard about Asia and her new plans--about this cousin, can you trust her? ::She asks with concern:: Price:To tell you the truth, yea. Yes, I actually could trust her it's just that she's still young and doesn't really know what's going on. Natalie:Just be easy and careful. Remember she's just a girl, no powers what so ever. She can't protect herself and now that she knows she has you guys to protect her, she's going to be reckless. Price:You're right... ::Walks over to a chair and sits down::She's seventeen and looks so much like my mother. Natalie:Oh... ::She looks down then back to her husband to see him worried::Is there anyway I could help? ::She asks with a warm smile:: Price::He looks at her and smiles::Yes you can. Is there anyway you could find out what this big bad is? Natalie:Hmm... ::She looks up then back at Price::They said yes... Price:Who, the Elders? I don't want their help. Natalie:Price, I know you aren't very fond of the Elders but you need to trust them and when they are willing to give you their help, you should take it. By the way the Powers That Be said yes, not the Elders. Price:Oh... ::Looks down and places his head in his hands:: Natalie::Looks at Price then looks up then back to Price::Walks towards and out of the white candle lit circle::She walks in front of Price and kneels down::She lifts his head slightly to face her with her left hand::She gives him a light kiss on the lips:: Price::His eyes closed as she kisses him::He places his right hand on neck and touches her hair softly with his left::I miss you. Natalie:I miss you too, Price. Price::Do me a favor, I don't want Isaac coming here until we could get everything in an okay matter. Natalie:Not a problem, he likes...sleeping on the clouds. Price:Smiles and laughs::Don't let him get too comfortable up there, ok? Natalie::Oh, no...I won't. ::She smiles:: Price::Stands up along with Natalie::The both walk over to the circle::Don't forget to visit me in my dreams, I'm feeling lonely. Natalie::Laughs and pushes Price back playfully::You dirty animal you. ::She kisses him again and walks into the circle becoming a spirit again:: Price:Tell Isaac I said Hi and that daddy loves him. Natalie:I will. ::She blows him a kiss and disappears in bright lights:: Price:Sighs happily::As you were before. ::The candles blow out and orb away onto the shelf:: Price::Walks backwards towards the attic door still looking to where Natalie was::He turns around and bumps into the door::He stumbles back::Ow... ::He looks around and quickly walks out of the attic like nothing happened:: Pierce: ::He walks in from the kitchen:: How's this? ::He sets it down next to Pace:: Pace:Reads the spell and hands it back::Not good enough...you've been a Witch for how long and you're still writing haikus? Pierce: It isn't a haiku, you just don't know your poetic vocabulary. Fine, I'll rewrite it. Besides, you know my spells don't work a lot...well they do, but sometimes they don't. The impromptu ones do... Pace:Your spells never work and I've been writing spells since we've started. I'm the spell master--::Looks to Billie::What do you kids say now a days? ::Looks to Pierce:: Don't hate on the game, hate the player. Billie: ::She looks at him weird, taking a few steps away from him down the story:: Right... Pace:Just re-write the spell or ask Price to help you. Or I'll just do it like I do everything else. Pierce: Pace, what's your problem? Billie: Yeah, what's got your balls so tight? Pace:Looks to Pierce then to Billie then back to Pierce::It looks like Isaac wrote it, but then again he could write better. Also Billie you need to chill because I don't need your street mouth right now. Billie::Say what? Nobody tells me to chill, I think you need to put some ice on your balls and calm down because right now I ain't gonna take it. Pace:Billie, you do realize you are in my house, right? Pierce: Actually the house belongs to you and me-- Billie::And you do realize powerless I could kick your ass back to looney town. You're messing with the wrong girl Pace. Price:Walks into the dining room::It's in my name, remember...what's going on? Pierce: We already had this talk, no it isn't, check the Wills. And I've been very careful not to be mea-- Price:You moved out about 6 years ago and got married, who paid the bills for 6 years? Me, myself, and I. Don't argue with me Pierce...thank you. Pierce: Fine, we'll talk about it later so you can correct me some more. Price:Thank you. Billie::You're just mad because Pierce can write better then you. Pace:HA! You are funny child. Why don't you do something useful and cook. Billie::Was that a sexist remark? Pace:Maybe it was, what are you going to do about it? Billie::Fuck you you fucking jerk off! ::She turns and storms out of the dining room and to the front door::She grabs her denim jacket and opens the door running out slamming it shut:: Price::Looks at Pace::What was that about?! Pace::Nothing... Pierce: She can't leave damn it! ::He runs after her, opening the door, stopping:: Where the hell did she go that fast? ::He closes the door and walks back to his brothers:: Way to go, Pace. Pace::She started with me... Pace:Looks from the notebook then to Pierce:: Actually you started it, if you could just write a spell then none of this would've happened. Pierce: Real mature, Pace. Real mature. ::He turns and walks up the stairs:: We gotta find her. Pace:Looks to Price:: Price:Ugh... ::He turns and walks away:: Pace::Ok, I LOVE YOU ALL TOO!! Billie: ::She walks down the streets with her hands in her jacket pockets:: ...Damn bitchy ass Pace...what's got into his....... ::She turns a corner, walking down another street:: Billie: ::She looks around, seeing dirty old men suddenly scattered around her, talking slightly and looking at her:: Eww...didn't see that before... ::She walks faster down the streets:: Why didn't I choose to leave during the daytime? Billie: ::She walks further:: ...Which way is the businessy part...I can get some money to last me that far around there... ::A woman in her early 20's walks up to Billie::Hey sugar, my name is Wendely. ::She said::Her light brown hair blew in the wind::She wears black baggy pants and a tight blue belly shirt with a blue denim jacket: Billie: Hi "Wendely", what do you want? Wendely::You look like a little baby, what are you doing in this part of the city? You pulling tricks? Who you working for? Billie: Not to be rude, but none of your business, what I'm doing here is my own business, not yours. So you might want to go bother someone else. Wendely::Look, I can tell you're running from whatever. I don't mean to intrude but I want to help. You need a place to stay tonight? Well I have an extra bedroom for you to lay your head. Wendely:If you don't want my offer you could stay out here on the dangerous streets of shitty frisky and probably get really hurt or die...come with me and you'll be safe...from everything. Billie: ::She stops walking:: Why should I trust you? It's only like...a few miles to the glittery downtown area, right? I could...just walk there. Wendely::Looks at her giving a wierd look::...No it's not. Billie: Oh...oh...fine, but why should I trust you? Wendely::It's about 12 or 15 or maybe 20 miles. Wendely::Because I'm Wendely, I'm fun and caring and loving. I'm a human being with feelings...I don't hurt, I help. It's a God given gift. Wendely::Plus...I'm all you've got. Billie: Whatever, which way? But try anything on me and you'll wish you didn't. Wendely:This way...girl you and I are going to be bestfriends and you could meet my boyfriend, he's really happy, he just got out of the hell pit...you know like a really bad situation but he's cool. He can do anything, he's awesome. Wendely::She smiles:: Wendely::Come on takes Billie's hand and walks away:: Rachel: ::She lays on the bed, putting the magazine down:: Well Pierce, I think Billie was right to walk out on Pace, Pace can be a jerk sometimes...but I think she shouldn't have left. Pierce: Yes, but what about my spell writing? I know it sucks sometimes...but its good... ::He lays down next to her:: Rachel: Pierce, I really think that's the least of your concerns now. You've done plenty of spells on the spot. Besides this big bad evil-- Pierce: And that itself is a huge problem, besides all of the other troubles, we now have to worry about what happens to our child? Pierce: If the baby is a girl, she should be pretty set with the whole Witchcraft thing, but if the baby is a boy, he might have an evil side to him at some point of his life, like we did. Rachel: Pierce... Pierce: So we have to worry about the baby coming any day now and about this huge evil coming, why? Why can't it just be done with and all, this just doesn't make much sense... Rachel: Pierce, it's a boy. The baby is a boy. Does that relieve your stress and worries? Pierce: And what about--Wait, what? ...What'd you say Rachel? The baby's a boy? How do you know? Rachel: ::She smiles:: Pace told me...a while ago... Pierce: Pace told you? What gives him the right-- Rachel: I knew before that...I knew you didn't want to know...but I did. I also have to worry about our child's future. Pierce: Rachel...fine, fine Rach. Okay. Well...you were right...I suppose ::He lays back down:: Rachel: Thank You Pierce. I was thinking about some names for our son... Pierce: Hopefully no P names, right? Rachel: I was thinking...Alex, which means a protector, and Adam, which this one book I read said it meant red earth, which I felt was very earthy, and earth is a great thing to mean... Pierce: Any other names? I...actually hadn't thought of it... Rachel: No those were my finalists. Pierce: ::He kisses her:: I don't really like Alex for a boy. Rachel: So, Adam Halliwell then? Pierce: ::He gently rubs her stomach:: Hello Adam, my son... ::He looks back to her:: Adam Halliwell... ::He kisses her and lays back down:: Rachel: Goodnight, Pierce ::She closes her eyes and pulls the covers to her:: Pierce: Goodnight Rachel-- ::He turns as well, he smiles and waits for her to go to bed:: Wendely::She unlocks the door to the project-poor apartment::As Billie walks in she shuts the door and locks it::Sorry...all I have is two beds and cereal. Billie:Wow...I feel real safe now. Wendely::Huh? Billie::We're on the first floor and you don't even have window protectors. Anybody could just climb in and kill us. Wendely::Oh that won't be happening. They know better then to come into here. Billie:Oh--ok. Billie::Walks around the small apartment::So where's the bathroom? Wendely::Oh we have to use the custodian room to take showers and use the bathroom. It sounds nasty but it's really nice. Billie::Turns quickly looking at Wendely::Now I want to go back. Wendely:Back where, I'm all you've got. Billie:Wrong, I've got three cousins who will look for me--eventually. Wendely:Oh, really? Now if they cared for you they would've done something to find you...am I right or wrong? Billie:Wrong, they're probably in the car searching for me and calling my friends. Wendely::Walks up to Billie quickly::Do you think I'm stupid?! You have no friends and they aren't in a car...they're probably in the attic scrying for you, you stupid worthless piece of waste of humanity. Billie:What? ::She presses up against the wall:: Wendely::Scared? ::She smiles and morphs into Asia:: BOO! Billie::AHH! Asia:Oh, yes...please scream, I miss that sound. ::She grabs Billie by the throat and throws her across the apartment into a wall:: Billie::Her side hits the wall as she falls to the floor on her stomach::She coughs as she gets up very slowly:: Asia::You know...I don't even have to kill you to get this guy freed...all I need is your blood to spill on this beautiful ancient box. You're like a key in a way...a key to destruction! Billie:She stands up fully and spits blood out::NO! Asia:No...no what? Billie:NO! I won't be your victim...you're going to be mine. Asia:Laughs::That is funny, you have jokes. Billie::Puts her hand out::Wall! Asia:What?::Walks towards Billie but is thrown back from an invisible shield:: Asia:Looks at Billie::Hmm...where did you find that spell... Billie::Under Pace's bed, in a book called easy spells for beginners. Nifty ain't it? Asia:Yea, too bad it can't hold me back! :She punches it and it glows and vanishes:: Asia::She raises her hand::Billie levitates up and moves slowly towards her::This won't hurt. ::A dagger appears in her hand:: Pierce: ::He walks into the attic:: Well I can't sense her, I've been teleporting all around... Price:The crystal falls down on an location::Found her guys, she's at 85th and Rynestone. Pace:Isn't that like where all the pimps and hoes are? Price:Yea? Pierce: Good, so something is blocking her from me but not from the crystal...wait that's not good. Pierce: And what'd you expect? I doubt she even knows her way around...how far is that from central downtown? Price::A few miles maybe? :Looks to Pace:You have the spell? Pierce: I bet Asia got to her first, that's why she's blocking me, like she probably was before, she probably is letting us find her now because she's done with what she needs her for. Pace:Looks at Pierce::Only you would say something like that. Lets go... ::Vanishes in blue flames:: Price:Grabs the potions and walks by Pierce:Come on... ::Puts his hand on his shoulder and they both orb away:: ::Blue flames and bright lights appear in the apartment::They fade away as the brothers appear:: Price:Nobody's here... Pace:This is the right place, right? Price:Yes, this is where the crystal landed on, we've got here really fast too. Pierce: ::He turns:: She's over there ::He points to his right:: Pierce: ::He walks down the small hallway:: ...I'm not sensing anyone but her in this room... Price:Walks over to the right and stands in front of a door::He throws his hands as the door blows up and throws his hands again freezing the room:: Price:Walks inside to see her in the corner pale::Oh God! ::He runs towards her and picks her up::He looks at her wrist::She's lost blood. Pace::Walks inside touching the knob and gets a premonition of Asia killing him and the brothers::He comes back to:: Price::What did you see, Pace? Pace::Looks to his brothers::I saw Asia--killing us all. Pierce: Then we better hurry...we need to get Billie healed, fast. Pace::Turns around and walks into the living room but is punched across the room and hits the hall and falls down:: Price::Pace! Asia::Looks at Pace then to Pierce:: Price:Throw the potion! Pierce: ::He looks over and the potion appears in his hand, he throws the potion at her with his telekinesis:: Asia:Puts her hand up as flames hit the potion blowing it up:: Pierce: Freeze her! Price:Home! ::Billie orbs away:: Pierce: ::He puts his hand out and a potion appears in his hand in lights, he throws it and it disappears, reappearing, hitting her chest:: Price::Walks quickly into the living room and throws his hands:: Asia:Gets hit and stumbles back freezing:: Pierce: Pace say the spell! Pace:Gets up slowly::He looks at Asia::His eyes turn white::BITCH! ::He throws his hands out hitting her with electricity bolts:: Asia::Unfreezes and gets hit with the electricity bolts::She flies across the room and hits the wall screaming in agony:: Asia::She falls down to the floor hitting it hard:: Pace:He stumbles back and his eyes turn normal::He looks to his brothers::That should've killed her. Pierce: Look, it is... ::Her body is turning black and decintigrating:: ::A large black fog hovers over Asia::Red eyes appear::You stupid Witches... ::A deep Demonic voice says:: Asia::Heals slowly:: Price:What the hell? Pierce: No you don't --::Another potion appears in his hand, he throws it at her again:: Pace::Looks over to his left to see the box opened:: Oh-no... ::The potion explodes before hitting her:: Pierce: ::He looks over, only now seeing Billie's blood all over, especially over the box:: Guys, maybe we should get out of here? ::The black fog speaks again in a Demonic voice::You're time has come to an end! ::The fog disappears extremely fast along with Asia's body:: Price::Uh--yea... ::He grabs ahold of Pace and puts his hand on Pierce's shoulder::They orb away:: Price:Walks into living room looking at Leo::So is she healed? Leo: Yes, but she needs to rest... Price:Good... :Walks away and upstairs:: Pace:Thanks... Pierce: Thanks... Pace:So when are we going to get a Whitelighter? Leo: I'll...look into it, for you. I know you guys don't want me around...b Pace:Got that right... Pierce: Pace... Leo: But I think you're too high a casuality risk...which is why you haven't had anyone since you guys broke up and came back together. Pace:Fine, I'll be in my room. ::Walks away and up the stairs:: Pierce: Thanks Dad... Leo: Anytime. Pierce: ::He heads to the staircase:: Leo: Pierce? Pierce: ::He turns:: Yes? Leo: You'll tell me when the baby comes? Pierce: Of course. Leo: Good... Pierce: Goodnight Leo. ::He walks up the stairs:: Leo: ::He nods and disappears in heavenly lights:: ::Slow music is being heard from the attic:: ::White candles are everywhere lighting up the room:: Price::So, Natalie... Natalie:So, Price... Price:May I have this dance? Natalie::Why sure you can. Price:Walks slowly towards his wife::He places his hands around her waist as she places her hands on his shoulder:: ::They both begin to dance to the song "All My Love"::Price brings her close to him, he leans in against her and rests against her as they move slowly::Lights begin to surround them as the hover into the air while holding each other spinning around slowly:: ::The full moon shines on them both:: |
