Pace:Walks down the hallway of the second floor::Looks over seeing Price come down from the attic::Morning bro. Price:Walks beside Pace:Morning...I've been thinking about a name for the new baby. Pace:Me too, I like Pace. Price::Laughs::That'd never happen, he's going to be named after me. ::He smiles and walks into the bathroom: Pace:Follows and looks in the mirror standing besides Price::Takes a brush and starts brushing his hair::And why not? Price:Takes gel and squeezes some into his hand::He puts it in his hair to gel it up::Why not what? Sometimes you make no sense. Pace:I make sense, I'm making sense now...see? Full of sense. Price:Pace, get some sleep. Pace::Can't I have to head over to the club for some inspections. And why can't the baby be named after me? Pierce: ::He walks to the bathroom door, leaning in:: He won't be named after either of you, because he already has a name, sorry. Price:He has a name already? Pace:What? What's his name? Pierce: I think I'll leave you guys in eager anticipation. ::He smiles and walks to the railing and walks down the steps:: Price::Washes his hands quickly and walks out following Pierce::Why would you name him without us? Pace::Runs after his brothers::Yea, that's rude of you. Price::Looks over to Pace::Excuse you, you named your daughter without our input. Pace:And uh-excuse you, I didn't even know I had a daughter until last year when Nina told me. Price:Your point is? Pierce: Well actually, I was going to talk to you two, but Rachel felt it was good revenge since she didn't have a say in getting to the hospital or not. ::He walks into the kitchen:: Pace::My point is that if I knew I had a daughter I would've sat down with you two and we could've thought up a name. Price::Stops walking looking at Pierce::WHAT?! Well I'm sorry if she was already in labor while the Demon was attacking her. Maybe we could've asked the Demon to stop what he's doing so we could go to the hospital. Pace::Wow, she's an ungrateful bi-- Price:Cuts in::We didn't even have to save her. Pace::I second that. Price::Keeps walking::Revenge...revenge my ass. Pierce: Right, well she and I already decided on a name a while ago, before the baby was born. ::He takes out a pan and heads to the refrigerator:: Pace::When I see her I'm going to give her the dirtiest look like there's no tomorrow. Pierce: ::He takes out the butter and two eggs, closing the door behind him, turning to the island:: Okay I'll tell you two the name. Price::She really said that? Didn't she even notice how the child came out all blue and bright with orbs? And then she wants to go to the hospital? Is she brain dead because I really need to know. Pace:Ugh! That just made my day go from peachy keen to shit stain. Pierce: She's just joking with you two. Okay honestly it was because we felt we really liked the name, and you two would just make it Pace or Price. ::He spreads the butter on the pan with a knife:: Price:Walks over to the counter and grabs his cup of coffee and takes a sip and looks at Pierce:: Pace::We were joking with naming him after us. We wanted to name him with a P, you know, make it traditional again. Pierce: ::He turns on the knob to 'Medium' and looks to his brothers:: The name isn't a P name, and when she comes down we'll tell you the name. ::He cracks the eggs with one hand and lets the insides cook, throwing the shells away:: Pace::Sorry can't wait. ::Looks to his brother and reads his mind::Shakes his head taking a step back::You didn't. Rachel: ::She walks into the kitchen, holding the baby in her arms:: Hello everyone. Price: Takes another sip placing the cup down and looks to Pace::He didn't what? Pierce: Rachel, they want to know the name. Pace::Glares at Rachel::Adam... Rachel: It's very honorable... Price::Looks from Rachel to Pace::WHAT?! Pierce: Adam Prince Halliwell. ::He takes a spatula and stirs the eggs around:: Pace::Looks to Rachel::I have to go. ::Walks to the coat rack and takes his jacket::UGH!!::Grabs his keys to his car and walks out the Manor slamming the door shut:: Price:So Rachel is this our revenge for letting you have the baby in a safe way? Rachel: Adam isn't a bad name, and... ::She looks to Pierce:: What did you tell them? Pierce: Nothing... ::He stirs the eggs:: Rachel: What did Pierce say to you? I didn't say anything about revenge... Price::Looks to Rachel::When or if you have your next child, we'll let you stay in the hospital for the last two months. Let them deliver the baby and then scream from seeing a glowing boy. Then you'll have the prize for exposing us. Price:Smiles then walks out of the kitchen::Grabs his coat and keys and walks out the Manor:: Rachel: ::She sits down:: I don't know what Pierce decided to tell you, but we chose the name because we felt it fit! Pierce: Sorry... Rachel: ::She stands up, leaving:: I'm not talking to you. Billie::Walks into the kitchen::Whoa, when did the bitch arrive? ::She saids joking:: Pierce: ::He looks to Billie, then down to his eggs, seeing them browning:: Damn it... ::He turns off the burner:: Billie::Sits down at the island::What's her problem? Pierce: I told Price and Pace that we had named the baby without telling my brothers because it was like revenge since neither of them wanted the baby in a hospital. Billie::Well the baby could've been born in the hospital. Wasn't their fault that Doc dude came in. Pierce: Well they took it badly...even if it was somewhat truthful... ::He puts the pan on another burner:: I'm not hungry anymore. Billie::Plus, didn't the baby come out all shiney? What would the doctors say to that? They would have all of us in some Government institute thinking we're aliens. Pierce: I like to call things like that 'Memory Dusting' or some magical blindness spell. Pierce: So now I have Price, Pace, and Rachel mad at me. That's just great. Billie:Well the spell would've been personal gain also I have to go and get ready. You know first day of school, girl has to look like a slut. Too bad I don't have any slutty clothes. ::Walks to the staircase walking up:: Billie::Hey Rach, I need to look like a slut, give me some clothes! Pierce: ::He looks around:: And now I'm the last one alone in the kitchen... Pace::Follows the male inspector:: Inspector::Turns around quickly::Why are you following me? Pace:I...I'm not following you. I was just making sure that the floor doesn't get dirty. You know, new tiles... Inspector::Uh--right. Well... ::Checks off a box on his clipboard::You passed the inspection, you are now able to open up the club. Pace:Oh, thank you. I thought I would fail. Inspector::Why is that Mr. Halliwell? Pace::Because I always fail everything. ::He says smiling:: Inspector::That's nice to know. Well... ::Rips off a paper and hands it to him::Thank you, good day. Pace:Takes the paper::Later man. ::He watches the inspector leave::Woo, thank you God. ::Turns around placing the paper on the counter and gets a premonition:: Pace::Gets a premonition of an assassin killing a Witch in an apartment:: Pace::Comes to and looks around breathing heavily::Nina... Pace::Walks into the Manor quickly shutting the door::Walks up the stairs and down the hallway::Walks upstairs into the attic and shuts the door::Stands in the middle of the attic::NINA!! Pace::Looks around::NINA GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW! ::Black smoke appears behind Pace:: Pace::Turns around seeing the smoke disappearing to show Nina::Hey there. Nina::Hey, how you've been. Pace:Oh, fine...Pierce and Rachel have a son, named Adam. Today was an OK day...until I had a prem of you killing a Witch. Nina::Laughs::Me? Killing a Witch? Wow, you really need to update on your premonitions. I haven't killed anybody for a year. Pace::Is that something to be proud about? Nina::No, but are you proud for not visiting your daughter? Pace::I would visit her if I knew where she was, you don't tell me jack, Nina. Nina:Oh, so now it's my fault? Pace::She's nine years of age, Nina. For nine years I've been out of her life. I've saw her once for about ten minutes. Nina::You think I want my daughter to be around a Demon hang out? Pace:Excuse me? Nina::This place is like a hang out for Demons. They always show up here, you guys almost get killed every day. That is the reason why I choose for her not to be here. Pace:Oh, so it's ok for her to be around you, right? Am I getting this right because if not feel free to cut in. Nina::She looks away then back to Pace::What the hell do you want from me? Pace::Are you killing again, yes or no? Nina:No. Pace::Bullshit. Nina::Fuck you Pace! ::She says disappearing in black smoke:: Pace::Looks at the smoke vanishing::He walks quickly to the book and opens it:: Billie::The red tab is for assassins. Pace::Looks up quickly to Billie::I thought I closed the door. Billie::When you lived the life I lived, you learn how to go stealth mode. Pace:Oh--::Flips the red tab and flips through the pages slowly:: Billie::So you have a daughter, she's nine years old, the mother is a Witch assassin. So you fall for the bad guys...or girls. Pace:I guess you could say that. Billie:I just did. Pace:Oh...sorry. Billie::No problem. Pace::Cool. Billie::Yea. Pace::There's two dozen Witch assassins, how the hell am I going to find out which one is the killer? Billie::Why don't you just use your powers? Pace:For what? Billie::Well, can't you meditate and focus on the next killing? When you feel the assassin is there you go. Bi-locate if you have to. Pace::Smiles slightly::You know, you're a smart kid after all. Billie:It comes with being drop dead sexy. Pace:Don't get carried away. Billie::Smiles:: Rachel: ::She sits the baby down in the crib, standing back, fixing his blanket, smiling:: Rachel: ::She turns, walking to the door and closing it silently, then she turns to the window and fixes the drapery a little, sitting on her bed:: Rachel: ::She lays down and rests her head against the pillow and closes her eyes:: Rachel: ::She shutters and opens her eyes, sitting up instantly:: Adam? ::She turns to the crib and realizes it is nighttime outside:: What...Pierce! ::She jumps from the bed and runs around to the baby and gets thrown back:: Rachel: ::She hits the ground and stands up, realizing she's now back to being slim, she touches her stomach and shakes her head, she steps forward and jumps back:: Pierce! ::A black and gray gas appears around the crib:: Rachel: Adam! ::She jumps forward and fights against the force field:: NO! ::She brakes free, landing on her feet:: Get away from my baby! Rachel: ::She runs to the crib and looks down, not seeing anything, she turns around and sees she is in the attic, and that the crib is with all of the other old items:: Rachel: Adam? Pierce? ::She turns, seeing a man in the center of the attic:: Rachel: Where's my son? ::She takes a step forward but the man raises a hand:: Rachel: Tell me where my son is! Man: ::He steps into the light, revealing familiar brown hair and a familiar body structure:: You can't see him anymore. Rachel: ::She squints her eyes, trying to remember what's familiar about him:: Who are you? ::She looks around the attic, now realizing that everything is even more old:: Rachel: ::She turns to the doorway and sees a younger man, a teenager, sharing the same familiar hair and body structure as the other man, standing at the door, in blinding light, a shocked expression on his face:: ::The younger man looks to Rachel and hides a smile, turning to the man, he looks back to Rachel and runs to her, hugging her:: Rachel: What... Younger Man: You shouldn't be here...you shouldn't ever be able to see this...I'm sorry, but you have to go... Rachel: ::She fights him, stumbling back:: No! I want to know where my son is! ::She looks to the other man, seeing him being covered by smoke and shadow:: Younger Man: It all should've happened before, but this time it'll happen after your time here... Rachel: What? What's all happened before? Younger Man: ::He turns to the window, it's stained glass in the form of a triquetra, it darkens as Rachel looks to it as well:: The other two will be here soon, you have to go, Goodbye Rachel ::He turns back to her and holds her hand:: Rachel: ::She gasps, closing her eyes instantly at his warm touch:: ::The sound of a baby crying alarms her ears:: Rachel: ::She jumps up from her bed, looking around, seeing its morning, she looks to her son, and walks over to his crib:: Rachel: My baby... ::She wipes away her tears and smiles, picking him up, rocking him slowly:: Pace::Stirs while he puts some herbs in the pot:: Billie::So this potion will do what, exactly? Pace:It'll surpress my dark side so that my Witch and Whitelighter side can actually shine through. Billie::Wouldn't you want the dark side? Pace:No...even though it could be good in a way but it'll interfere with what I'll try to do. So when I finally sense where the next attack will be, I'll open my eyes and I'll be there. Billie::Oh, I so, so, so--do not get it. Pace:Smiles, you soon will. Pace::Looks at the liquid then looks up quickly:: Billie::Pace? Pace...what's the matter? Pace::Walks around from the island slowly and into the living room::He looks around and walks into the sun room slowly:: Billie::She follows him and whispers::Are we playing cat and mouse? Pace::Stops and tilts his head squinting:: Pace::Turns around pushing Billie out the way:: Billie::Gets pushed hard and flies into the wall falling down hard:: Pace::Catches a dagger that was thrown at Billie::Throws it to the side to see a figure dressed in all black::Why do you guys have to wear black and cover your face with a hood? Hooded Figure::Looks at Pace then runs at him:: Pace::Jumps up and flips over the person::Turns around and kicks the person in the back:: Hooded Figure::Stumbles forward::Turns around and throws Pace:: Pace::Gets thrown and hits the wall falling down:: Billie: ::She forces herself to stand up:: Pace! Price::Walks into Manor and shuts the door::Puts his coat up on the hook and his keys::Hello? Pace::Gets up slowly::Billie, run! Billie: ::She nods and looks to Price, then turns and runs to the staircase and up the stairs:: Price::Orbs away and reappears next to Pace:: Price::Looks to the figure::Great another hooded Demon. Hooded Figure::Pulls out a dagger and throws it at Price:: Price::Throws his hands freezing the dagger:: Pace::Grabs the dagger and throws it at the person:: Hooded Figure::Grabs the dagger:: Price:Throws his hands sending out an ice ball:: Hooded Figure::Dodges the ice ball:: ::The ice ball hits the wall:: Price::Watches the wall turn to ice slowly::Ooh... Hooded Figure::Rolls over to the dagger on the floor and disappears in a bright shimmering red light:: Pace::Looks to Price::What--was that? Price::Looks to his hands::I have no clue, but it was cool. Pace::Book Of Shadows. Price:For what? To look up hooded Demons? Pace::No...I got a good look at it's arm, had some type of symbol on it. Price:Good looking Pace. Pace:I know, I know. Pace:Flips through the book::I can't find anything on that symbol. Price:What did it look like? Pace:A red eye with a black pupil. Price:Oh, how nice. Price::Turns and throws his hands blowing up the table:: Pace::Looks up quickly to the table::And that was for what, exactly? Price::I just wanted to know what it was I did. Pace::You got a new power, probably an evolution of your freeze. Price:How evolved could it get? I mean I could freeze people and I could freeze time, how far should it evolve? Pace:It's called Cryokinesis, power over ice. In your case you could create ice. I guess you could also freeze people by turning them into ice. Price:Oh...isn't that an evil power? Pace:No...Prin had it. That was his first power actually to ice freeze. The thing is, he didn't shoot out a ball of ice. Just threw his hands and whatever it was turned into ice. You are throwing out balls of ice. Pace:Sort of like an energy ball but instead of the ball being charged with waves of energy, your balls are being charged with anti-energy, thus ice, so you could freeze whoever you hit. Pace::Looks away and chuckles:: Price:What? What's so funny? Pace::I just said that your balls are charged with ice. Price::Gives Pace a dirty look::Grow up. Pace:Sorry... Price:So wait, I have Prin's power? Pace:Yea...I guess all of your powers are the powers that Prin would've had if he was alive. Price:Wow... Pace::And you Price, evolved from fog...Prin's probably would've condensed and evolved into water. Price:Ok, how do you know much? Pace:I know so much because...I'm me. Price:Right... Billie: ::She walks into the attic gradually:: Is it safe to come out from underneath the covers? Pace::Turns the page::Found it. Price::Turns to Billie::Yes, Billie. Price::Looks back to Pace:: Pace::The symbol is called the Intruous. The Intruous is a family of half breeds, Witch and Demon. The male Demon finds a Witch, mates with her, kills her, takes the child. Price:Wow, family bond. Billie: Sounds nasty ::She walks in between them:: Let me see! Pace:When the child reaches a certain age he or she is tested to see if they are worthy to be part of the family organization. The child is put through several tests and they must past the tests or they are sentenced to death. Pace::The half breeds are either trained into assassins or wonderers. Price:A wonderer? Pace::The wonderers are male and female Demons who look around for their mate. The males set out to find a woman, pretends to fall in love and gets the woman pregnant, on the 9th month the father rips the child out of the mothers womb. Price:Ouch? Pace::The females are worse. The females set out and find a male in one night, they have intercourse and stay with the male for a month putting the male in a deep hypnotic stage. Once the female knows she is pregnant she then rips the heart out from the male and decapitates the male either in a slow kill or a fast kill. Billie: So what does this have to do with us and why did they come here to attack us? Pace:Looks to Billie::Well the assassins aren't told that they are half Witch. So they are brain washed to believe that Witches are evil. They set out and kill them stealing their powers, charms, spells, etc. Pace:In our case they are probably after you or the book. Price:Or maybe Adam. ::Gets a shiver:: Pace:Looks to Price::Are you ok? Price:Yea...the name Adam just chills me to the bone. Pace::Looks to Price::Adam... Price::Oooh... ::Shivers again:: Pace:Adam! Price:::Stop! Pace::Looks down to the book::Sorry. Price::So how do we vanquish this bitch? Pace::There's no spell and no potion. Price::Well thats when I come in handy. I'll go whip up a potion, Billie you stay in your room and call Pierce. Pace go see if you could get a premonition of where this assassin went. Price::Turns around to walk out the door but stops and turns back around::Did you ask? Pace:Nina? Yea, she says it isn't her and oddly enough...I believe her. Billie: ...Ah good, something to rest the mind to... ::She turns and leaves:: Pace:Watches Price and Billie leaves::Thinks for a quick minute and walks out of the attic and downstairs::He walks down the hallway and walks to Billie/Rachel's room and knocks on the door:: Billie: Come in... Pace:Opens the door and walks in::He closes the door behind him and leans back on it::Uh--Billie. Billie: Yeah? ::She walks over to the phone and picks the reciever up from the station:: Pace::What was that little comment you said before after I said that it wasn't Nina? Pace:You said that you could rest your mind now or something...right? Billie: Yes, you guys are always so stressed...knowing that you don't have any marital or non-marital issues makes me worry less... ::She dials Pierce's cell phone number slowly:: Pace:Looks to the phone::Who you calling? Billie: Pierce... Pace:Oh...well I better get back to doing my Charmed duty and look for something...later Billie. ::He turns around and opens the door::He walks out and shuts it then turns walking down the hallway:: Billie: Right... ::She turns and puts the phone to her shoulder:: Oh Hey Pierce... Pace:Walks into the sun room where the attack was::He walks slowly over to the spot the figure vanished and knelt down::He placed his hand on the spot and closed his eyes::He searches for a premonition but can't find any:: Pace::He gets up and turns to walk to the kitchen but gets a premonition::He sees the hooded figure in a apartment holding a dagger::The figure quickly runs at a young girl, possibly in her twenties and stabs the young girl in the heart:: Pace::The girl falls down and a pentacle appears on her forehead:: Pace::He opens his eyes gasping for air::He looks around and quickly walks into the kitchen::Hey Price, are they almost done? Price::Yup--just pouring the last one. ::He says placing the baster down and puts the cork in the capsule::Why, what's the rush? Pace::I just had a premonition of another killing, I know exactly where it is and in the premonition I...I saw behind the girl a T.V. show called 'The Explorers'? Price::Ooh Pace you kick ass man! Pace::Well not intentionally...it just comes naturally but I try to be good. Price::No--no you really do. 'The Explorers' come on at... ::He looks at his watch then back to Pace::...6:30 so we have at least 15 minutes before the attack. Pace:Awesome. Billie: ::She walks into the kitchen:: Pierce said he'll be here in a second, and that he thanks you guys for saving him from working. Price::Uh...yea...ok so I made the three potions, basically to strip her from her powers and then we could bring her into custody. Pace::Looks to Billie then back to Price::He's so bad. Billie: Can I have a potion? Price:Smirks::Yea--uh no? Pace::Looks to Billie::You're staying here. Pace:Did you hear anything about the Charmed Ones plus One? Billie: Hey it could happen...besides, I get bored here. Price:Then go read a book. Pace:Or go on the internet. Price:No--don't go on the internet...bad, bad, bad place to be! Billie: I think I'll just go through each of your rooms, I'm sure I can find something juicy and much worse there...unless you guys let me go with you... Price::Billie...we are all in our early 30's...what could you possibly find? Pace::We don't leave anything behind...besides that would be no fun. Price::Quickly looks to Pace:: Pace::No fun for the Demons! Price::Right...alright well I'm going to the basement to get a few weapons because basically she could find a way around our powers. So we might have to fight her one on one. Pace::No problem with me, when I got the Blue Phoenix I also got some nifty strength. ::He smirks:: Price:Billie please go to your room. Price::Lock the door and put the crystals in every corner. Billie: Sure thing boss... ::She turns stubbornly and heads towards the door:: Pierce: ::He teleports in yellow lights in the doorway, blocking Billie:: Hey there, Billie: Bye there ::She smiles and walks past him, into the doorway, and up the stairs:: Pierce: ::He looks to his brothers, then to Price:: What'd you do? Price::He smiles at her and looks down then up to his brother::Told her to go into her room and cut all her hair off and make me a coat. Pierce: Cute...what'd you really say? ::He takes his jacket off and drapes it over a chair:: Pace::He told her to go into her room, lock the door, put the crystals in each corner. Pierce: Ah, wow Price stop getting all strict-boring-dad on us... Price::I don't want her to get hurt, remember that every Demon and evil is after her. Pierce: I remember, ::He turns back to the doorway:: So what are we doing? Price::Sighs::We're going to stake out. Wait till 'The Explorers' come on and charge in. Pace::The T.V. show about I guess explorers. Price:Looks to Pace::It's actually a cooking show. Pace::Called 'The Explorers'? Price::They explorer around the kitchen. Pace:Oh...I get it. Price::So, you ready? Pace:Ready. Pierce: I'm ready...I guess, oh wait, let me go visit Rachel real quick-- Price::Turns around grabbing the three potions::Uh...no? Price::We have to do this, Billie will keep her company. Pace::Takes a potion:: Price::Hands one to Pierce::I have to get the daggers in the basement. ::He turns and walks to the basement door, opens it and walks in:: Pierce: ::Takes a potion and puts it into his pocket:: Pace::Looks to the entrance of the basement then back to Pierce::You think the Woogeyman still lives in there? Pierce: ::He walks up to his brother:: Considering he's been vanquished and everything, and that we go down here each day, no. Pace::But sometimes when I'm alone I could feel it...or maybe it's just my imagination? Pierce: Or just something else, like the thing inside you? Pace::Shakes his head::No...when I feel the thing inside me it's kind of a warm, tingling, sensation. Pace::Thinks for a minute::Did that sound kind of dirty to you? Pierce: I chose to ignore that...are you done yet, Price? Price::Walks up into the kitchen holding three daggers:: Pierce: Only you...can we go now? Price::Yes we can. ::He says and orbs out of the kitchen:: Pace::Beat you there! ::He says to Pierce and teleports out in blue lights:: Pierce: Right...I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PLACE IS! ::He closes his eyes and focuses to sense them and disappears in lights:: ::The three brothers appear in the custodians closet and listen for 'The Explorers' theme song to come on:: Price::Pierce...your elbow is in my gut. Pierce: This is such a stupid idea... ::He tries to move his elbow:: Pace::Sings to himself::Captain Planet...he's the hero, he's gonna stop you and stop at zero... Price::Stares at Pace::Sometimes I worry about you... Pace::Sorry, what time is it? Pierce: Okay its about time one of us gets an invisibility as a power... ::He looks up, sensing something:: Hmm...that's a funny feeling... Price::Uh... ::Pulls his hand up slowly to eye level::It's 6:28. Pierce: ::He looks to Pace:: You didn't sense anything strange right now? ::He looks to the door:: Well it wasn't anything from out there... Price::Hears something fall and shatter::Ok, show time. Price::Opens the door and walks to the girl's door::He listens carefully and hears the theme song:: Pace::Kicks the door open and walks inside quickly:: Price::Walks in after Pace and looks around::Where's the body? Pierce: ::He walks around quickly, sensing:: Bedroom- Pace::Looks to bedroom door and vanishes and reappears in the bedroom:: Pace::Looks at the bed seeing blood then at the wall::Walks behind the bed to see the girl's body:: GUYS! Pierce: ::He turns and walks to the door and phases through it, turning the handle just as quickly to open the door:: Price::Walks quickly into the bedroom::Oh... ::Looks around and walks beside Pace seeing the body:: Pierce: Well... ::He stands beside his brothers:: What should we do now? I don't... ::He looks around:: ...sense anyone else in this apartment. Pace::We go home. Price::Looks quickly at Pace::WHAT?! Pierce: ::He kneels beside the girl, looking at her face:: Something is off here... Price::Like what? Pierce: ::He gently touches her cheek, then looks to Pace:: Her soul hasn't left her body yet. Pierce: And... ::He looks around the room, especially at the blood:: Why is there so much? ::He examines her:: But where'd it all come from? I don't see huge cuts on her... Girl::Her eyes open and she flips up kicking Pierce in the back::She turns around throwing Price to the side then kicking Pace in the stomach:: Price::Goes flying hitting the wall and falling down on the floor hard:: Pierce: ::He flies back and phases through the floor:: Pace::Stumbles back from the kick and looks at the girl::Thats not her! Girl::Morphs into the hooded figure:: Hooded Figure::Flips over Pace:: Pace::Watches as the figure flips over him and turns around quickly pulling the hood off::He is shocked to see a girl underneath:: Pierce: ::He jumps up from the floor in bright lights; he throws his hands out and the unhooded figure flies back into a lamp:: Woman::Falls into the lamp and fades away in a bright red light:: Price:Gets up quickly and runs over to his brothers:: Price::Damn, I didn't even get to kick her ass. Pace::Shh... Pace::He looks around trying to listen to the empty room::She's still here... ::He turns around punching the air inbetween Price and Pierce::His fist hits the woman::She stumbled back:: Woman::A dagger appears in her hand::She throws it at Pace hitting him in the stomach::She then fades away in a bright red light:: Pace::Stumbles back leaning against the wall::Looks down at the dagger and to his brothers::Uh... Price::Looks over to Pace and quickly walks over to him and looks to the dagger::We have to get you to the hospital. Pierce: ::He holds Pace up and looks to Price:: We need Dad to heal him, we don't have time for the hospital--and I don't think you and I can do it. Pace::No...I'm ok. ::He grabs the handle and rips it out of his stomach::He looks to the wound and it heals itself:: Pace::See, I'm all better, no need for dad or a hospital or a miracle. Pierce: ...That's new... ::He walks around the room:: We got fooled, if there ever was a girl to begin with she isn't here. Pace::Came with the blue chicken package. Pace::Looks around the room::No, there is a girl and she's in this building but I don't know where. Price::Walks over to the night table and opens a drawer and searches through it::He pulls out a wallet and opens it::Her name is Denise Adam's, age 25. Pierce: ::He walks over and takes the wallet from him, feeling it:: She's...in the basement...hmm...basement or first floor...somewhere damp. Price::Ok, well if she's in the basement we need to get to her fast. That she-man could be down there. ::He orbs away:: Pace::I'll check the first floor, go with Price. ::He teleports away in a blue light:: Pierce: ::He places the wallet on the nighttable and disappears in bright lights:: Pace::Teleports into the lobby::His appearence appears after the blue lights fade away::He looks around cautiously and begins to walk::He listens for whimpers or crying::Some lobby, so dark and scary. I'll never live here. Pace::Turns the corner and walks down the long dark hall::He stops and looks straight forward::He squints and then does a back flip in the air landing behind the woman::He then throws her into the wall using his super strength powers, given to him by the Blue Phoenix:: Woman::Hits the wall and falls to her knees::She gets up quickly and looks to the wall then to him::Hmm...made a dent, nice job. Pace::Who the hell are you?! Woman::I'm Hope and you are? Pace::About to vanquish your sorry ass. ::He throws a punch but she blocks it:: Hope::Watches as he throws another punch::She blocks it then punches him in the mouth then in then grabs him by the shoulders bending him over and knees him in the gut:: Hope::Still holding onto him she throws him into the wall:: Pace::Flys into the air and hits the wall falling down crouching::He gets up quickly and runs walking the wall and pushes himself off kicking her in the jaw:: Hope::She spins around then holds onto the wall to get her balance::She senses Pace run at her::She walks the wall up and flips behind him pushing him into the wall and turns him around:: Hope::She punches him twice in the jaw::One time with her right fist and the other with her left::She then punches him in the chest and decks him in the nose:: Pace::Falls to the floor and grabs his nose::He looks at his hand to see blood::His eyes turn white from anger::He stands up and back smacks her sending her spinning down the hall and finally watches her fall:: Hope::She slides against the floor hitting the wall and flips up to her feet::She pulls the rest of the hood jacket off::Revealing that she wears a black leather tube top, black leather tight pants, black boots, black gloves:: Hope::She reaches behind her and pulls out two 12inch black night sticks::She swings them at Pace hitting him several times:: Pace::He catches one of the night sticks and pulls it out of her hand then kicks her in the chest:: Hope::She stumbles back and pulls out a star and throws it at him:: Pace::Catches the star and throws it at her throat:: Hope::Bends backwards dodging the star and comes back up quickly::She runs towards him and drop kicks him:: Pace::Falls down letting the night stick go::He gets to his feet and crouches and throws a low spin kick at her but she jumps up::He gets up and tornado kicks her:: Hope::She drops the night stick and hits the wall and falls down:: Hope::Spins up to her feet and glares at him:: Pace::When will you die?! Hope::I don't baby, I live forever! ::Her eyes glowed red as she jumped at him and brings him to the floor::She gets ontop of him::She begins to punch him contiously:: Hope::She keeps punching him::A dagger appears in her hand::She brings it down to his chest at full speed but he teleports away in blue lights:: Hope::Gets up quickly and looks around::She turns around gets punched in the face::She stumbles back and runs at Pace at full speed:: Pace::Not being able to keep up with her due to her great speed he loses track:: Hope::Grabs him by the shoulders and lifts herself up::She spins herself around locking her legs around his neck and flips back sending him onto the floor::She pins him down again and continues to punch him:: Pace::He gets punched continously::He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a dagger slowly and jabs it into her:: Hope::She stopped punching him and gets up slowly and stands still:: Pace::He turns over to his side and spits blood out::He gets up slowly and looks at her::Sorry... ::His eyes turn back::He spins around and kicks the dagger in more:: Hope::Ugh! ::She stumbles back and falls down fading away in a bright red light:: Pace::Looks around and runs to the stairs to go to the basement:: Price::Adam...huh. Pierce: Price, I like the name, Rachel likes the name, and I think his middle name goes well with his first name...so shut up ::He walks around another corner:: She's over here, I can feel her. Price::What's his middle name? Reggie? Price::I thought we were going to bring the tradition back? Pierce: I already told you his middle name, if you don't know then too bad, and no no one has liked that tradition. Pierce: ::He turns and looks at a door; he squints his eyes and the door flies open, revealing a woman to be tied in a chair, sitting in the corner:: We're here to help you--::He rushes over to her and touches the ropes, making them fall to the floor instantly:: Price::Well I did, I just didn't want to name my son Peter or Patrick. Price::Hears ticking and looks to Pierce::Uh...Pierce do you hear that? Pierce: ::He looks around and looks to Price, then instantly to another corner:: Orb it away! Price::How am I suppose to orb something I can't see?! Price::I think it's a--::Looks to the closet door and throws his hands blowing it up, seeing a small metallic bomb with a digital view screen, counting down::It's a bomb! Price::It has ten seconds left! Could I be able to freeze it?! Pierce: Yeah! Price::What if I blow it up?! Pierce: Ugh...get the girl out of here! I'll get the bomb... Pace::Runs quickly into the room breathing heavily:: Pace::Pierce, don't! We don't have time! Price::Grabs the girl and orbs away:: Pierce: ::He raises his hand and the bomb disappears in lights along with him:: Pace::Teleports out of the room in a bright blue light:: Price::Orbs into the living room laying the girl down::He turns to find Pierce and sees a bright blue light next to him--knowing that it's Pace:: Price::Examines Pace's body and notices cuts and bruises::Damn, what animal attacked you? Pace::Hope. Price::Hope? Who's Hope? Pace::The assassin...her name's Hope. Price::Since you got her name did you get her number? Pace::I forgot to ask while she was beating the crap out of me. Pierce: ::He appears in bright clothes, his clothes are drenched:: Pace::The Charmed Ones always win...I stabbed her with the dagger. She's still alive though. I didn't vanquish her. Price::Why didn't you? I gave you a potion. Pace::The potion broke in my back pocket. That's why I didn't vanquish her...I'll be up in the attic. The book has to have something about her. ::He turns away and walks up the stairs:: Pierce: I hate to interrupt you two but I wanted you to know I was home... Pierce: ::He turns to Price, then disappears in lights; taking the puddle beneath him with him:: Price::Turns to look at Denise sleeping::Humans...can't even enjoy a little sky orbing, huh. ::He turns and walks upstairs:: ::The sound of the shower is heard upstairs:: Price:Walks down the hallway and walks to Isaac's room::Opens the door and looks in::He looks around and smiles::He walks into the room and sits on his son's small race car bed:: Price::He sighs and whispers to himself::I miss you, son. Price::Hears a knock on the door and sees Billie:: Billie::What's up? Price::Nothing...go to your room. Billie::I'm 17, not 7. I heard you say that you miss your son. Why don't you just get him back? Price::I want to, I really do but-- Billie::But what? Price::I don't want him getting hurt. You're our main priority. Last year it was Isaac a little and then Pace. I can't have my son here and have to worry about him every five seconds. Billie::How about the Magic School? Price::If Asia could get inside then any Demon can. Even though you're number one on the main menu to every single Demon out there...my son is number one to Asia. He's the only way she can open up all the dimensions, releash hell on Earth and claim her rightful thrown. Billie::Is there anything I can do? Price::No--but thanks. I just need to see him. I haven't seen him in months. Billie::Why don't you ask for him and later ask for him to go back up there. Price::Demons, Hope, and Asia. Billie::I doubt they'll attack after they heard that Hope got her ass kicked by Pace. Anyway, we have tons of weapons and potions and spells. Price::I guess you're right. Billie:I always am. Price::Smiles::There's food in the fridge if you're hungry. Billie::YES! I've been starving since you guys left, who's the cook? Price::Raises his hand::That would be me. Billie::Why don't you cook one day, for everyone. It'll take your mind off of things and you'll be free. Price::I will... Billie::Smiles and walks out of the room::She closes the door:: Price::Lays back on the bed and closes his eyes:: Pierce: ::He opens the bathroom door and the steam escapes as he turns off the light; he slowly walks out of the bathroom with his clothes in his hands and walks to his bedroom:: Pierce: ::He sighs and opens the door, closing it behind him, placing the clothes on his hamper; he sighs again and walks to the crib, seeing his son is asleep:: Pierce: ::He turns and lays against the bed; he turns his head and picks up a note on the pillow with Rachel's handwriting- "I'm out running some errands, Billie's watching Adam." Great... Pierce: ::He sits up and walks to his dresser and throws his towel on his hamper and puts on a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt, then his socks and his shoes:: Pierce: ::He walks to the door and turns to the dresser, turning on the baby monitor, then turns and walks down the hallway, down the stairs, and straight to the basement; quickly turning on the light behind him:: Pierce: ::He looks around slowly:: Woogeyman...geez Pace... ::He quickly jumps up and kicks the kicking bag hard, then he begins to punch it over and over again:: Pierce: ::He punches it and spin kicks it, then hits it again and again and again; without realizing it the hand weights soon lift from the shelf and hover in the air, then as he hits the bag again they fly at it, knocking it off its hook onto the ground, making a huge thumping noise, along with metal thumps:: Pierce: ::He jumps back and looks down at the weights and quickly puts them back:: Oops... Pierce: ::He looks to the doorway, seeing Billie looking at him funny, then turn and walk away:: Pierce: ::He quickly walks up the steps and follows her into the kitchen:: You know I just teleported a bomb all the way to the Pacific Ocean a huge number of feet above sea level, and no one cares...I even got soaked... Billie: I'm sorry about that Pierce, ::She walks to the refrigerator:: Now where's the grub? Pierce: No one even cares...that is just what I mean. And you think the name Adam is fine, right? Billie: Has the paperwork been filled out? Pierce: Yes... Billie: Then what's the big deal Pierce? ::She takes out a few pots and bowls and closes the door behind her, grabbing a plate from the cabinet:: Pierce: The big deal is that Price and Pace don't like the name...that's the big deal. And its ticking me off, you'd think they'd respect the fact that its my wife and my decision to name our child! Billie: ::She takes a large spoon and knife and soon begins to take huge portions from the pots and bowls onto her plate:: Um...don't let them ride you then, tell them to shut their mouths and if they don't threaten them, they're still your brothers, right? Pierce: Yes...yeah, yeah! That's right! Screw them! Billie: ::She puts the plate into the microwave and finds the saran wrap and drapes it over the plate, soon closing the microwave and pressing the buttons, making it cook:: Screw them, you don't need them, you're your own person... Pierce: Thanks Billie... Pace:Walks into the kitchen::Keep your voices low...lady out there is sleeping and screw who? Billie: Anytime Pierce, you make me laugh anyway...Hey P. Pierce: Nothing... Billie: You know what's on my mind? ::She begins to put the pots and bowls back into the refrigerator:: Pace::Walks to the fridge opening it and taking out a can of Pepsi soda::He opens it and drinks some::Looks to Billie::No... ::Looks to Pierce::Do I have to read your mind? Billie: That's on my mind. That is. What an ass you are Pace, just prying into other peoples' business. Pace:Sharply looks at Billie::Excuse me? Billie: You act like its your right or something. Pierce was going to tell you and Price Adam's name when Rachel came down and before they could share the happiness you read Pierce's mind. You are such a asshole. Billie: ::She closes the refrigerator:: Geez Pace, you should be ashamed boy. Pace::Who the hell do you think you are? You're living under my roof, Billie. Pace::And I recall Price, Pierce, Natalie, and myself naming Price's child. Billie: Don't pull that shit with me, P! You know I'm right, read my mind already. It isn't some rule that the family has to be incorporated with everything, okay? Billie: You need to respect their choice, even if it wasn't with you and Price. Billie: ::She folds her arms across her chest:: Pierce: ::He sits down and a box of crackers teleports to him, he eats them as he watches:: Pace::Really? ::Tilts his head and uses his telepathy on her controlling her mind::You're feeling sleepy. Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap. When you wake up you're going to apologize then forget everything you said...now go. Pierce: ::He watches as Billie turns and walks out of the room:: Pierce: Ass. ::He gets up and puts the box into the cabinet, walking out of the room as well:: Pace::What?! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!!::The soda can explodes, the sink is turned on, the cabinet explodes, and the house shakes:: Pierce: I COULD DO BETTER! ::He walks through the sitting room and walks into the living room, seeing the woman asleep still:: ...I wonder when you're going to come to... Price:Walks into the kitchen and looks to Pace::What in the world was that? Pace::Sighs and teleports away in a bright blue light:: Price::Walks into the living room and walks to Pierce grabbing his arm pulling him into the sitting room::Explain. Pierce: Billie yelled at him about always reading peoples' minds disrespectfully, then he telepathically made her go upstairs and forget it all. Price:Oh...do you want me to give him a time out? Price::Whatever we say or do he won't care. That's Pace and we have to live with it. Pierce: Right, well all I know is that we need to get this woman back to her home safe and sound. We need to figure out why 'Hope' was after her. Price::She's a Witch...Pace read her mind, saw her background, past, future, etc. - Bait. Pierce: So what are we supposed to do? ::He looks to her:: Why aren't we looking after Hope? Price::Hope is a Witch assassin although she is half-Witch herself. She doesn't know about her Witch side, it's forbidden to tell anyone of the clan. Only the High Priest and Priestess know. Price::Pace said that she's strong, real strong and she doesn't stop fighting unless she's stabbed or something. Price::He said that even the strength that he was giving due to the parasite isn't enough strength to hurt her badly. Pierce: Which clan is she from? It's always clan this, group that, gang here, mob there. Price::I just think from all the training she's going to be one step in front of Pace. Price::Intruous. Pierce: Well she shouldn't be able to take all three of us at once...especially if Pace bi-locates... Price::Demons mate with Witches, the Witch is brutally killed by the Demon, the child doesn't know about their Witch background, yadda yadda yadda. Price:Yea, I know...but Pace's other side is wild and free and probably--his other side won't listen to us at all. Pierce: ::He turns back to the living room:: She's coming to... Denise::Opens her eyes and looks around slowly::She sits herself up while she holds onto the couch's back:: Price::Walks beside her and looks down::Hey there...I'm Price and this is my brother Pierce. Denise::Looks at the brothers and nods her head as she looks down::Where am I? Pierce: ::He stands by the doorway with his hands folded, and raises his left hand to wave Hello:: You're at our house... Price::Yes, you are safe with us. Denise::Where is she? ::She stands up:: Price:Who? Pierce: ::He walks closer, sitting across from her:: Not here, we got rid of her...Can you tell us what happened? Denise::Looks at Pierce and walks out of the living room and looks into the kitchen::Where is she?! Price::Whoa there Nelly you need to sit down and take a breath or a few hundred. Denise::Looks to Price::Shut up and get out of my way! ::She puts her hand up quickly sending out a telekinetic wave throwing the brothers back:: Price::Flies back landing on the couch and gets up quickly only to trip over a toy and fall back down:: Pierce: ::He flies back but lands crouched, jumping up again:: You're a telekinetic?! ::He looks to Price, signalling to freeze her, then he turns back to Denise:: My other brother, Pace, stabbed her, and she disappeared. Who is she, do you know? We know her name and a little bit, that's all. Denise::No! Not her, the other woman... Price::Gets up and walks beside Pierce::Get out. Denise::Excuse me? Price::You're not taking her. Denise::Yea? Watch me. ::Runs up the stairs and runs down the hallway:: Price::Looks to Pierce:: Billie... ::Orbs away:: Pierce: Hey! ::He disappears in lights and reappears in front of her:: Denise::Runs into Pierce's chest:: Price::Orbs behind Billie upstairs and grabs her and orbs away:: Pierce: You might want to explain yourself. Why do you want Billie? Denise::Because...she is the--AHH!!::Screams in agony and blows up:: Pierce: ::He jumps back:: Geez! Hope::Smiles looking at Pierce standing ten feet away from him::Don't you hate when that happens? Pierce: Well at least there aren't any ashes to clean up...What do you want? Hope::Can't have her running off her mouth. If she did then everyone would hear her. Pierce: What do you want, "Hope?" Hope::What I want are for you three dead, but since I can't have that easily, I guess I have to start off in small pieces. :::Fades away in a bright red light:: Pierce: Not if I can help it... ::He focuses on where she was and disappears in bright lights:: Rachel: ::She walks up to a small store with glass windows and a glass overhang; she pulls the door towards her and enters the shop, instantly smelling the herbs and spices:: Rachel: ::She looks above, hearing a bell ring, and turns, looking around the shop filled with greenery and many bottles, pots, jars, etc:: Hello? I know you're here... Rachel: ::She walks across the grey tiles and steps to the counter, looking around:: I need your help, I had a vision of the future,...I did some researching while the brothers were out...and then I had another vision and another and another...the first one I had when I was asleep...but the others came as I was just doing things...I think its the objects and things around me that are triggering them...I need your help-- Rachel: ::She turns around quickly, her hair swaying:: Look I know you'll help me! ...Aruna! Aruna: ::She steps out from behind a barricade of trees; a young female in her late 20's (it seems), tanned skin, long light brown hair, hazel eyes, standing 5'6, bloody red full lips, she wears a purple dress that sways:: What do you need? Rachel: You have an obligation to help, you don't want the wrong futures to occur, and well...I've seen one, and I've heard of another that can happen... Aruna: What are you talking about, Rachel? Rachel: Price told me what you did to Natalie, I'm glad we don't talk to you anymore. Aruna: You want my help with the futures, because I can help guide you, right? Rachel: You're a Witch, I'm not. I shouldn't be having these problems. Aruna: I'd still like to see you, at least...why are you having visions? You aren't a Witch, you don't carry your son anymore...how is he anyway? What's the name? Rachel: Adam, his name is Adam. Aruna: ::She nods, touching some plants, then looking through a jar of pink powder:: Rachel: Aruna, I'm having visions, I don't know why. But I did some research...I had to ask around...The future that involved...Wyatt...and...another brother... Aruna: The future that never happened. Rachel: Yes. That future that never did happen. Aruna: What about it? Rachel: I had a vision...the crib was being taken from evil, then I was in the attic, the crib was tucked away, and I saw a man... Aruna: ::She touches Rachel's hand, instantly taking a step back:: Oh no...you never should have seen that. Rachel: It's happening over again, isn't it? Is Adam destined for some type of alternative power in the world? Is he destined for evil? Aruna: There's no way to know, you never did see if Adam was evil in the vision. Rachel: And the other boy? Aruna: I'm sorry Rachel...but look at it this way, at least Adam and the other boy looks like Pierce. Rachel: ::She turns to the door and looks back to Aruna:: I had two other visions...while I was awake. Aruna: Before you tell me--A lot of good has occurred in your family...there's no way to see if anything you see will ever happen, maybe you're here to make sure none of it ever happens... Rachel: ::She takes a few steps away from her ex-sister-in-law:: The other two visions, I was trapped and Adam, adult Adam...he had saved me...Pierce had tried but couldn't, but he could. Aruna: And then everything faded away? Rachel: Yes... Aruna: And the other vision? Rachel: ...It's getting late, I should be going. Aruna: You want my help? You don't want these futures to occur? Rachel: In the other vision, I was alone. Then I saw the other boy, and he took my hands, and he hugged me. And then he disappeared...and I was all alone again. That was my other vision. Aruna: ... ::She turns and walks to a bookshelf, strolling her fingers to a blue and lavender book:: I know what is happening here. Rachel: What? Aruna: ::She opens the book and shows it to her:: It's a rare thing, you're what they call a 'Selenté' - It's a word from a dead language...based off of Greek. Rachel: ::She gracefully takes the book, seeing a picture of a woman dressed in blue, light shining from her, but the light hardly touches the people around her:: A Selenté? Aruna: You had Adam, graced Pierce with love, and then...you... ::He looks into Rachel's eyes and decides to look away:: You die, but you always watch over your family...and the other boy, Adam's brother, seems to be able to see you. Rachel: ::She grips the book as she listens:: Aruna: Listen to me Rachel, if you don't want this to happen, you have to leave...you can only die by magic's hands to become a Selenté, and you're already predestined. Figure out when this can happen...try to have another vision and find out the other boy's age...see if you can speak to him...just be observative. Find out when you have to leave Pierce...I know it's hard, but you'd have to leave the magic world behind you... Rachel: I have to be going... ::She tucks the book into her purse:: I have to be going... Aruna: You have my help...you know what to do Rachel. Rachel: ::She opens the door and looks to her again:: Aruna, why'd you kill Natalie? Aruna: ::She grips the countertop:: You wouldn't understand. You don't understand. --Goodbye Rachel Rachel: ::She immediately looks away and walks into the night, looking up to the moon, then to her car:: Price::Walks into the lobby and walks up to Billie::You ok? Billie::Oh, yea...I'm clean. Just that I'm sick of these bitches always trying to jump on my back. Why can't they just hop of my di-- Price::Hey! Billie::Looks down and back up to Price::Sorry, I'm just so confused and mad. They said if I came here I'll be safe but I feel as if I'm not. Everywhere I turn I'm being attacked just because I was born the way I was. Price::Sits next to Billie and looks at her::You were sent here to be protected by us, yes. But you should know that they'll keep coming after you. The forces of darkness know that my brothers and I are the Charmed Ones. Price::They know that we were born into a family of powerful Witches and to keep the line going. Hundreds and millions or maybe billions or trillions or more tried since the first Witch in our family was born. Price::They never finished the job because we are still here. We are blessed to have the powers that we have to help people and save the world to make it a better place. No Demon has ever brought us down to the point where we just wanted to give up. Price::It's not in our blood, it's not who we are. We can leave each other for years and then come back and be stronger then ever. The Elements sent you to us because they know that we'll never let any innocent go, most of all family. Billie::Looks to Price::Yea, I guess you're right. ::Stands up::This is just part of your magickal lives. Price::Stands up::Yes, it is. It sucks big nuts though but it's fun. Hey we better get out of here this place isn't too safe anymore. Pace::Walks into main lobby::Actually it is. I placed a spell on the school so that no violence could occur in the school. Evil can't touch good and Good can't touch evil. Anybody or thing can come and leave as they please but everyone will stay in one piece. Billie::Even from Asia? Pace::Nods::Even from Asia. I would like to give a special thanks to the lady of Mystical Magick personally for helping me out this little nifty spell. ::Smiles and looks to Price:: Price::That's Natalie, always doing the right thing. Billie::So the school is going to be back up and running? Pace::Looks to Billie::Not exactly, the Elders still think it isn't safe so they are going to hold all classes in some secret groundings that even the Charmed Ones must not know. So I guess we could crash this place if we need anything that the Manor can't provide. Price::We better get back home. ::Takes Billie's hand and they orb away:: Pace::Sighs and teleports away in a bright blue light:: ::Bright lights and orbs appear in the living room:: Price::Turns to see Rachel against the wall::Uh--Rach, you ok? Pace::Walks over to Rachel and puts his hand on her shoulder::Rachel are you alright? Billie::Looks at Rachel with concern:: Rachel: ::Her eyes open and she turns suddenly, flinching:: Oh--Billie! Rachel: ::She looks over, seeing Price as well, then looks to Billie and breathes in:: Billie::Walks quickly over to Rachel and grabs her pulling her close::It's ok... ::Adam cries over the baby monitor:: Billie::Looks over to the monitor and steps back from Rachel::Touches her hair then looks at Rachel's eyes::You good, hun? Rachel: ::She looks over:: Yeah--I'm fine, Oh, Adam's crying... ::She hesitates and turns awkwardly and walks up the stairs:: Price::Looks to Billie::What was that all about? Billie::It's a girl thing. ::She walks away and walks upstairs:: Billie::Walks down the hall and walks into Rachel's room:: Rachel: ::She sits in the rocking chair, holding Adam in her hands; she looks up to Billie:: Hi... Rachel: ::She quickly stands up and moves towards the door, feeling the need to leave:: Billie:::Where you running to? Rachel: ::She begins to try to think of something but simply exhales:: Nowhere. Billie::Why do I get the feeling that you're lying? Rachel: I...I just need some time to think...that's all... ::She looks down to Adam and sees he's asleep again and quickly sets him gently in his crib, then turns and walks back to the door:: Rachel: ::She hesitates and turns and walks up to the attic; as she reaches the doorway she flinches and gasps, suddenly seeing that it is raining outside:: Rachel: ::She turns to the stairway:: Billie! ::She notices the lights are no longer on; she turns and walks into the attic, heading for the Book of Shadows:: Rachel: ::She looks to the windows, seeing they are just stained glass, but that one of the glass panels has a triquetra in it; she turns to open the Book of Shadows but hesitates:: Billie::Quickly walks into the attic keeping an eye on Rachel::You're making me think you need some help. Rachel: ::She presses down and gets shocked, quickly taking a step back; she looks up and sees that Billie is standing before her, that the lights are on, that it isn't raining outside:: Rachel: Billie...can... ::She is curious about what is going on:: Can you step outside for a moment? Can you? Rachel: ::She inhales and looks around, seeing it is raining again and that the lights aren't on; she gently touches the Book of Shadows, taking her hand away as it shocks her again:: Rachel: ::She takes a few steps back, beginning to cry, beginning to cover her face with her hands as she begins to cry:: Billie::The Book doesn't let evil touch it...why can't you touch it? Rachel: ::She looks up and exhales and realizes the lights are on again, it isn't raining, and that Billie is there:: ...What? Rachel: The...The Book doesn't let those that it isn't safe with touch it...doesn't let those that it isn't safe with touch it...oh no... Rachel: ::She looks back to Billie but inhales and gasps, flinching, seeing the lights are off and that it is raining again; she screams and cries again:: Man: What's the matter? ::He sits on the couch:: Rachel: ::She jumps up and sees him:: It's you...what's...what's your name? Your my son's brother, right? Man: I'm Adam's bro. I'm sorry Rachel but I can't tell you my name... Rachel: Why won't the Book let me touch it?! ::She walks to the center of the attic, towards him:: Man: You're a Selenté, you aren't safe because you're practically a ghost in my time...you're seeing it now... Rachel: ::She looks around, then back to him:: I don't want to be...please tell me your name... Man: I'm sorry, I can't...you have to go back to your own time... ::He stands up and puts out his hand to take hers:: Rachel: ::She takes her hand away quickly:: NO! I won't let you! I don't want to turn out like this! I don't want to leave my child motherless! I don't want Pierce to marry again! Man: Rachel, please... Billie::Looks over to the Man::Who the hell are you because you scaring my girl and I might have to kick your ass. Rachel: Where's Adam? Where is he?! How old are you? When were you born? When did your Mother meet my husband?! I won't let this happen, I won't! Rachel: ::She looks over to Billie, and holds her head in pain, gasping, the lights and weather changing from both time periods:: Man: ::He quickly looks to Billie and holds his head in pain as well:: Go back Rachel, you can't be in both of our times...Goodbye! ::He takes her hand and squeezes it:: Rachel: ::She gasps loudly and falls back onto the floor; realizing now that the man is gone, that it isn't raining, that Billie is the only one here; she cries against the floor:: Billie::Price! Pace! Billie::Walks over to Rachel and kneels down::Takes her by the arm and lifts her up::Get your head together! Rachel: ::She pulls her arm away, crying hysterically; she falls against the couch, crying against the cushions:: Billie::I don't want to see you cry or fall down and let whoever do this to you. You are a strong woman Rachel, and if you're going to let something do this to you then you're not who I thought you would be. Rachel: ...I don't want to die...I don't want to be a ghost or a phantom after I go... ::She looks up to Billie:: I'm going to die, Pierce is going to remarry, he'll have another son...and I'll see it all...but I won't be in his life anymore! Billie::Rachel you need to get up right now... Rachel: ::She wipes her tears away, and looks to Billie, pushing herself to stand:: Billie::Try and be in Natalie's shoes. She's up there alone but she's with her son! She watches all of us and helps us out! Billie::She's probably doing more up there then she did down here. Billie::And you not wanting Pierce to remarry and have another son is down right selfish. Rachel: So what are you saying? That's going to be my fate? I'm not a Witch, Billie! I'll die and I should be gone but I won't! I want to live, I don't want to leave my son motherless! Billie::You need to open up your eyes and realize that life isn't just roses and butterflies! Rachel: ...Pierce can remarry if I die...I...I just don't want to die... ::She walks to the Book of Shadows and closes it slowly:: Billie::Nobody wants to die, I don't want to die but I probably will. You need to think about the brothers, they had brothers that died because of this shit! In this family you don't make it past 40, so how do you think the brothers feel when they die one by one and leave their sons and daughters behind with no family?! Rachel: ::She looks to the stained glass and realizes they are all how they should be, no triquetra on any panels:: ... ::She looks up to Billie, peculiarly:: How many brothers, Billie? Billie:Huh? Rachel: And I know...I know...but they are Witches, they aren't like me, I shouldn't be forced to stay behind...never interacting... How many brothers did they have? Billie::Three. Rachel: ::She grips the podium:: Your answer should have been two...Two, Billie. What aren't you saying? Rachel: ::She sniffles, and quickly strokes her hair, trying to make herself seem less distressed. She looks down to the podium, where her hands are and gasps, but shakes her hand, pushing off another vision; she looks back to Billie:: --Billie, I need you to get Pace... Billie:Wyatt, Chris, and Prin, they all died. Rachel: ...Chris...Chris was his name? How'd you find out about him? Billie::It's in the Book now stay here and try not to have a nervous breakdown. ::She turns away and walks down the stairs:: Rachel: No...no it isn't... ::She flips the Book open and she jumps back, the pages flying, until the book finishes and flips back to the cover:: NO IT ISN'T BILLIE! ::She runs after her:: Rachel: ::She glances back to the Book, uncertain of why that happened, she turns back and runs after Billie:: Billie, you're lying to me! Billie::Turns around in the middle of the hallway and looks to Rachel::What? Billie::Rachel, it's in there. You need to look, I read it with my own two eyes. Pace::Walks up to Billie and Rachel::What seems to be the problem? Rachel: ::She stops, confident in herself now:: No, you see, it can't be in there. Literally it can't...he was never born in this time. In this reality. Because of him never being born, Price, Pierce, Prin, and Pace were able to be born. The pages just flew open for me at my fingertips...it wasn't in there, Billie. Pace::What are you talking about Rachel? You touched the Book? Price::Walks up behind his brothers::What's the problem? I heard yelling and everything. Hysterics. Rachel: ::She hesitates, worried that Pace and Price shouldn't know:: Pace::Looks to Billie:: Billie::Nods:: Rachel: You originally were going to have another brother...named Chris...but it wasn't in this reality...but Billie still seems to know! Pace::Looks to Rachel and smiles::Tell me everything that happened, why are you worried, who did you talk to? Tell me everything. ::He says uses hypnotizing her:: Rachel: ::She breathes in, starring into Pace's eyes, but suddenly inhales again, gasping, cutting off Pace's control, stumbling back:: Rachel: ::She looks around, seeing everyone disappear, and Adam's brother appear behind them, then disappear, as they come back again:: Rachel: ::She looks to Pace, disgusted, and runs past them, and down the stairs:: Pace::Price, get her! Rachel: ::She runs to the front door and grabs her purse and jacket and opens the door quickly:: I won't let you do this to me! Price::Orbs away and reappears in front of Rachel::Throws his hands freezing her:: Rachel: PIER--! ::She freezes:: Price::Walks into the living room::Rachel! ::Rachel orbs away and orbs onto the couch laying down still frozen:: Price::Walks to the door and looks outside to see if anybody saw and closes the door:: Talk about hysterical-- Hope::Appears in a bright red light and punches Price:: Price::Flies to the left hitting the wall and falling down:: Hope::Looks up and fades away in a bright red light::Reappears on the second floor:: Hope::Kicks Billie in the face:: Pierce: ::He appears behind her and throws his arm, forcing her to the wall harshly in lights:: Billie::Flies back hitting the attic stairs and falls down onto her stomach:: Pierce: ::He throws his hands at Hope again and a huge gust causes her to fly backwards:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand again and she flies into the ceiling:: Hope::Flies and hits the wall and falls down hard::She looks to the wall and sees a dent in it::She gets up but flies backward::She flies into the cieling:: Pierce: ::He takes the dagger from his belt and throws it at her, stabbing her again:: Pace::Looks to Hope then to Pierce::Stop! ::He spins around kicking Pierce in the stomach sending him back into the wall:: Pierce: ::He flies back, phasing through the wall:: Hope::Falls down onto the floor::She looks at Pace confused and fades away in a bright red light:: Pace::Stands in the hallway and gets prepared for Pierce to come back:: Billie::Gets up slowly holding her neck::Ouch... Pierce: ::He sits up in the basement and disappears in lights, reappearing in the living room by Rachel:: Price::Runs into the hallway and looks around:: Price::Where is she? Pierce: ::He looks to her confused and touches her gently:: Why did you call me? Pace::She's gone. ::He senses for Pierce and teleports away in a bright blue light and reappears beside him:: Pierce: Pace, why did you want to save her? She's a Witch assassin! ::He looks to Rachel, then to him again:: And what is going on?! Pace::I...I don't know. Billie:Walks quickly into the living room with Price::Your wife has gone completely psycho. Price::Throws his hands unfreezing Rachel:: Rachel: ::She falls onto the couch, realizing where she is and sits up--pausing as she looks into Pierce's eyes:: I've...been having visions. I saw Aruna, she told me I'm a 'Selenté'...and and...how does Billie know about your other brother? Price::You saw who?! Pierce: Whoa whoa whoa...What? You saw Aruna? And what's a 'Selenté'? And what other brother? Rachel: I'm sorry but she's the only person that could help me... Price::Says through his teeth with disgust: I want you out of my house. Pace::Looks to Price sensing anger and looks to Rachel then to Pierce then back to Rachel:: Rachel: ::She looks to Price in fear and gasps again, having another vision, and opens her eyes in horror, but quickly runs past them all and grabs her purse and jacket and leaves:: Pierce: Rachel! ::He runs after her but is stopped by Price:: Price::Looks to Pierce::If you go after her don't come back. Pierce: ::He looks to Price and Pace and Billie:: What...what happened? Pierce: What's a Selenté? Why is she having visions? Since when did we have another brother? Price::Walks upstairs quickly and down the hall:: Billie::I'll explain later but I have a feeling that... Pace::--Price is going to do something he won't regret. Billie::Runs upstairs along with Pace:: Pierce: ::He hesitates but walks to the front door and leaves instead:: Price::Walks in front of Pierce and Rachel's room::Throws his hands blowing the door up:: ::Adam cries at the sudden noise:: Price::Walks to the closet and blows the door up::Grabs all of Rachel's stuff and throws it on the bed::Walks to the dresser and blows all the drawers up::Grabs her stuff and throws it on the bed:: Price::Looks at all her perfumes and brushes and her mirror::Throws his hands blowing it all up:: Price::Grabs a suit case and opens it stuffing all of her stuff in it::He closes it and walks out of the room:: Billie::Walks into the room and picks up Adam from his crying and starts to rock him:: Pace::Follows Price downstairs::What's happening? What are you doing? Price::Opens the door and throws the suit case out onto the front porch::He looks at it and flicks his right hand blowing the suit case and whatever in it up into pieces:: Price::Closes the door and stares at it::Pace...leave me alone. Price::Walks upstairs slowly::Everything that Price passes blows up and goes on fire:: Price::Walks to his room and opens the door and slams it shut:: Billie::Flinches when she hears the door slam and holds Adam close:: Pace::Waves his hand magickally putting the fire out:: I hope this isn't the end...again. |
