::A teenager about 17 sits on his stoop across the street from the Manor::The new neighbors that moved in consist of a father who is a therapist, mother who is a lawyer, and their normal pain in the ass son, Jessie:: ::Jessie has short brown hair, an swimmers build, light blue eyes, thin lips, stands about 5'10, and has a smile that can melt anybody::He lays back while he listens to his C.D. player gazing up at the afternoon sky:: Jessie::Looks to his watch::Only 1:45pm? Wow, this city is slow and boring. No hot girls, no nerdy kids, nothing. Just a bunch of old people and a scary old house... Jessie::He stares at the Manor and grins:: A scary old house that needs to be checked out. ::He stands up and quickly runs to the entrance to his three story house:: Hey Lilian, I'm going to greet some neighbors. Lilian::Walks out from the back room and walks to Jessie:: What did you call me? Jessie::Sorry...Mom, I'm going to greet some neighbors, tell Phil--I mean Dad too. Don't need you guys getting all worried that the 17 responsible sexy teen got kidnapped. Lilian::She smiles at her son:: Whatever Jess, you're father and I are going to a meeting with the Wilsons. Jessie::Oh, the Wilsons. Victoria Wilson is a hot one. Give her my number for me, ma. Lilian::That--I would make sure--I don't do. Jessie::Whatever, later Lilly. ::He smiles and turns:: He skips down the stoop and walks across the street to the door to the Manor::He looks through the window and doesn't see anybody:: Hmm... Jessie::He turns and walks down the front steps and walks to the back of the Manor::He spots the back door open::He walks up the steps and opens the door slowly and pokes his head in the Manor and whispers::Hello? Jessie::Nobody home, the doors open, that just tells me to make myself at home. ::He pushes the door in and walks inside and closes the door behind him::He looks through the kitchen's cabinets::Wow, they sure like some spice and herbs on their food. Jessie::Walks to the fridge and opens it:: Uh--right... ::He takes out a container and reads it:: 'Asia's Blood'? Jessie::Puts it back on the rack and closes the door quickly:: Ew...must be some blood care people or something. ::He walks out of the kitchen and walks into the living room:: Nice... ::Turns and looks at a picture of the Brothers' mother, Piper:: Jessie::Hot, sexy, but too old. I can deal. ::He turns and walks to the staircase and walks up onto the second floor:: Damn! This place is bigger then ours, second floor is grande I must say. Jessie::He walks down the hallway to see the stairs to the attic::He walks to the attic stairs and stops::He looks around getting a weird feeling as if he's being watched::He turns around and walks down the hallway:: Pace::Opens his bedroom door and walks out bumping into Jessie:: ::They both scream and jump back::Jessie being startled and Pace ready to throw anything magickal at him:: Pace::Who are you? ::He looks at him, sizing him up:: Jessie::The question is...who are you? Pace::Dude, you're in my house. Jessie::Looks around then back to Pace:: Your point is? Pace::You either tell me who you are, or the cops are coming to arrest you for breaking and entering. Jessie::My name is Jessie Quin. I moved across the street the other day in that stupid house. I was just looking around because I needed to use the bathroom. Pace::Why don't you just go back home and use the bathroom? Jessie::My father pees all over the seat. Pace::Squints his eyes for a second::You're lying. Jessie::No, I'm not. Pace::Yes, you are. Jessie::No, I'm not. Pace::Yes, you are. Jessie::No-- yea I am. Pace::Ok, ok then. So how can I really help you? Jessie::Look, I don't know anybody around here and from what I see this block is filled with old or ugly ass people. Pace::And you came here because? Jessie::One the house is a scary pink, two I like adventures. Pace::Wh-what? This house isn't a scary pink...it isn't even pink. Jessie::Dude, yes it is. Pace::You really need to meet Billie. Jessie::Who? Pace::My cousin. You and her are meant to be. Jessie::Looks Pace up and down and looks him in the eye:: Pace::Don't go that way. ::He walks pass Jessie and down the stairs:: Jessie::I--I don't either! ::He follows:: How do you know when I'm lying or thinking something? Are you some type of empath? Pace::Stops in front of the kitchen and looks back to Jessie:: Actually, I am. Jessie::Laughs:: Yea, right. Pace::Smiles::Ok... Pace::Turns and walks to the dining room after he hears the door open:: Billie::Walks inside and closes the door:: Pace, you won't believe what happened today. ::She hangs her coat up:: Jessie::Turns hearing a girl's voice and watches as a beautiful teenage girl, wearing blue hip-huggers, black one sleeve t-shirt, hair up in a tight pony tail, and black boots, walks in:: Billie::Looks at Jessie then to Pace::Who's the sexy twink? Jessie::What? I ain't no twink. Billie::Sure, sure you aren't. Pace::Looks at Billie::So what happened? Billie:: I just got suspended. Pace::Why? Billie::Punched a teacher in the nose because he gave me a B+... Pierce: What do you mean? Funding issues? The entire place is getting the final touches on it and you're telling me we have funding issues?! Pierce: What about the big moneymakers, the newspapers, all the sponsors?! Look, make sure this gets handled, I'm counting on you. It's hard enough here--we'll meet tomorrow-- ::He closes his cell phone and walks out of his office:: Carly: Could you yell any louder? ::She types while she talks:: Pierce: Did you know we're having funding issues? Carly: Which restaurant? Pierce: This one, I have a meeting in 10 minutes... Carly: And about the other one? Pierce: Same thing. Normally we have sponsors that help support us, I'm sure we can keep this one open but without a manager for the other restaurant, and more sponsorship...I don't know, Carly. We're handling the competition fine but it comes with a hefty price... Carly: ::She quickly jumps from her desk:: You know who could be your manager? Pierce: Why don't you tell me, Ms. Teen prep? Carly: ::She flips her golden blonde hair back mockingly:: Ethan. Pierce: Ethan? What Ethan? Carly: Ethan Crane, silly. Come on, he has the experience, he has the know-how, and you know you can trust him! Pierce: ::He turns quickly and walks down the hallway:: Carly: ::She walks quickly behind him:: Stop right there, Pierce Halliwell! Pierce: ::He turns back to Carly:: Just so you know, I've become trained to resist your telepathy, so please don't try to order me around. Carly: Sorry...just my charm...it gets all the guys. Pierce: You were saying? ::He turns, walking towards the restaurant and stops at a computer module, touching the screen consistently:: Carly: Look, Ethan is like, the best guy for the position. Besides, you know he can have the job, with Rachel's shop--::She stops:: Anyway, you won't have to worry, he's hot too but I think you're still on top so no need to worry he'll out-sex you. Pierce: ::He turns slowly to her:: Did you revisit 18 again? What are you talking about? Carly: ::She rolls her eyes:: Fine, but just consider Ethan, seriously. I'm sure you'll worry less knowing you have one less thing to do. Pierce: ::He thinks, then turns back to her:: I want his résumé by the end of the workday, and what about Rachel's shop? Carly: Oh nothing, and great! ::She turns around quickly, walking back to her desk:: Pierce: ::He shakes his head slowly, turning back to the module:: I'm much more sexier than he is... ::He stops abruptly:: Damn Carly... Rachel: Ethan, we've got a problem. Ethan: ::He takes a flower from a bucket and gently places it in the middle of a bouquet:: I didn't do it! Rachel: ::She grinds her teeth and pulls out a few record books from underneath the front desk; she skims through them and the computer screen:: Come here, will ya? Ethan: ::He walks next to her:: What's the matter? Rachel: I think...we have some financial issues. See... ::She points:: Because of this a few months ago, and this ::She points to another spot:: I'm worried we won't have enough money to keep this place running. Ethan: Why? I know business has been light but...you've had this place for a time now... Rachel: I know...but...we're getting less customers, and well...when I hired you I was hoping you could help bring this place back up. I lowered expenses, advertised more, tried to get big and small clients, but it just isn't-- Ethan: Rachel, before you decide anything, think this through, don't jump to any crazy conclusions. ::The telephone rings:: Ethan: I'll get it... ::He turns and runs to the phone, bumping into a vase full of flowers, and picks up the phone:: Hello? ::The vase falls:: Rachel: ::She whispers:: Ethan, no! Ethan: What? ::It crashes, he turns, immediately hearing a baby crying:: Rachel: Oh... ::She rushes over to the crib that's behind the workbench and picks Adam up quickly:: Just great...the shoppe is doomed and Adam just loves leaving me surprises... ::She quickly picks up his diaper bag:: Cover your nose. Ethan: What? ::He looks back to the phone:: Hang on for a sec... Rachel: I think the vase shocked him a little too much...cover your nose, I'm going in ::She digs into the bag and hesitates to pull Adam's diaper away:: Price::Hangs up and turns to his computer and starts typing::He hears a knock at the door and looks up:: Come in. ::The door open and his new secretary Grace walks in:: Price::Hey, how you doing? Grace::Oh, the usual, Mr. P. Price::How's the baby? Still peeing on you, no? Grace::Doing quite fine, thank you. Your several meetings today, do you think that you're up to it? I can cancel them. Price::Ugh! ::Puts his hands to the side of his head:: Who are the meetings with? Grace::Star 18, Seven Fourth, Mr. Ringston, Alec Martin, and George Gonzalez. Price::Wow...ok, cancel them...yea just cancel them. I don't feel like having to listen to all these people babble on about how great the magazine is. Grace::The magazine is doing very well, it's the top magazine in San Francisco, all ages love it. You and your brother, Pierce, both of you are doing very fine. I mean, P.O.3. talks about everything, from teen pregnancy, advice columns, what's in and what's out, recipes, you get the biggest stars. Price::I know, I know, it just feels as if something BIG is missing but I just can't put my finger on it. Grace::Can't you just call up your muse? Price::He quickly looks up from looking down::Wh-what? What did you say? Grace::Everybody has a muse, Price, you may not believe in it but I do. She helps me all the time when I need inspiration. Close your eyes and just ask your muse, I promise he'll answer you. Price::Thanks Grace. Grace::No, thank you, you just made me remember that I have to call a muse for Little José. I want him to grow up with a lot of talent and inspiration. Price::I'm sure he will. Grace::Smiles::She turns and walks towards the door and opens it::She turns around and looks to Price:: You're a good father and brother and friend. You're also an awesome boss. You deserve all the luck and happiness in the world. Grace::You'll get what you're looking for. In good time Price, in good time. ::She smiles and walks out and closes the door behind her:: Price::He looks at the door and looks to the window:: He closes his eyes:: I call on thee, from what I shall not see, send me inspiration, send it to me. From what I don't know, let it show. Guide me to the place, where they need me to glow. ::Bright orbs appear in front of Price and vanish once he opens his eyes:: Price::He smiles and begins to type:: P.O.3. re-opens Quake. ::He smiles and looks to the window:: Billie::DUCK! Jessie::How'd the hell did you do that?! Pace::Can't explain it, just run! Jessie::Run where?! I don't know where to go! Billie::Go upstairs! Pace::No, don't go upstairs! :::GAME OVER is heard from the television:: Pace::I told you not to go upstairs. Jessie::Sorry, I forgot? Billie::Walks out of the living room, through the sitting room, and into the kitchen:: Any of you guys want a soda or something? Pace::No, thanks. Jessie::I'll take another Pepsi. Pace::Turns to Jessie:: Don't you have...parents? Jessie::Yea... Pace::Looks at his watch:: It's 10pm...do they know where there child is? Jessie::I think so, I told them I was going to meet the neighbors, they're meeting "the Wilsons." Why, are you kicking me out? Pace::No, you can stay all you want. Jessie::Cool. Pace::In about ten minutes you need to go home. Jessie::Why? Pace::You're cool to hang out with and everything, don't get me wrong. It's just that it's late and you should be going home. We can chill tomorrow. Rachel: ::She opens the front door and walks in, closing it behind her; she's exhausted, and Adam is sleeping in the pouch against her chest; she carries his baby bag and her purse:: Pace::Looks over and sees Rachel::Hey, there. How's my nephew? Jessie::Looks at Rachel::Oh, wow, MILF. Billie::Walks into the sitting room::Jessie, all I have to say is...ew! Billie::Throws him a can of pepsi:: Jessie::Catches it and opens it::He takes a sip::I'm sorry, this house can get a guy all hot and wet. Billie::Oh, my God, ew? Rachel: Hey Pace...Hey Billie...Hey strange creepy little boy... ::She sluggishly walks to the staircase and walks up the stairs:: Rachel: I'm going to put Adam to sleep and then I'm going to bed...goodnight... ::She walks up the stairs:: Billie::Night. Pace:Sweet dreams! Jessie::Oh, please dream of me in those dreams. Billie::Smacks Jessie in the back of his head:: Pace::Gets up and walks over to the T.V. and turns it off::He turns to Jessie::Look, you have to go. Billie::Umm...I'm going to go upstairs, give Rachel a little company. ::She turns and walks to the stair case and walks upstairs:: Pace::Looks to Jessie:: Jessie::What's the rush? Billie::Walks down the hallway and knocks on Rachel's door:: Rachel: ::She sets Adam down and turns to the door; she whispers:: Come in. Rachel: ::She kisses Adam lightly and turns back, walking to the bed, lying down:: Billie::She opens the door and looks down at the carpet::She looks at Rachel::Her smile fades from her face::Rach... Billie::Pace! Baast::She grabs Rachel--:: Rachel: ::She Gasps--:: Baast::She covers Rachel's mouth with her hand::With her other hand she grabs Rachel tightly:: Billie::Pace!!! Pace::Looks up and looks to Jessie::He grabs him by the shirt and pulls him to the door::He opens it::You have to go. Jessie::But I can't just go, we haven't-- Rachel: ::She opens her eyes and panics, quickly kicking her leg up, hitting Baast in the head:: Pace::No! Listen, this is my house, you need to go. Come back tomorrow! Jessie::Fine... Pace::Watches Jessie leave and slams the door::He teleports upstairs:: ::Adam wakes up and cries loudly from the noise:: Baast::Stumbles back::She grabs Rachel by the throat and lifts her up:: Rachel: ::She looks over to her son and back to Baast:: Billie::Grabs a lamp and throws it at Baast:: Baast::She puts her hand up making the lamp vanish:: Pace::He teleports in the bedroom::He throws his hand out sending a beam:: Baast::Deflects it::She punches Rachel and grabs her and they both teleport away:: Rachel: ::She screams and disappears:: ::Adam cries loudly; hearing his mother's scream and a wave of telekinesis shoots out, breaking the crib's walls; he cries louder:: Billie::Ah! ::She looks to Adam's crib as she quickly puts her hands up::She walks over to Adam and picks him up and rocks him back and forth::Shhh...it's ok, mommy was just kidnapped. Pace::Looks to Billie::What was that? ::He subsides somewhat, giving a confused look to Billie as he then begins to fall back to slumber:: Billie::She holds Adam close and looks to Pace::What do we do? Pace::He looks around the room and back to Billie:: Billie::Walks into the dining room with the Book Of Shadows::She sits down at the table and looks to the brothers::You guys ok? Pace::Did you find anything? Billie::Opens the book to where she put a bookmark::She looks to the brothers::Yes, I did. Pierce: I just got home and my wife is missing...and it is late. ::He opens his eyes from sitting in the air, golden light from around him:: I can't find her. Price::Looks up::Can you come...down here? Pierce: ::His feet touch the floor and he sits down, quickly looking over to what Billie has:: Pierce: So what did you find Billie? Billie::She smiles and looks up to Pierce then down to the book and looks to Pace and Price::Alright, the thing that took Rachel, her name is Baast. She's a descendant from the Goddess-Demon Baast, like a great-great-great-greatgranddaughter or something. Price::Why would Baast want to take Rachel? Billie::Well, Baast is the avenger, destroyer of all, protects the weak and frail and also kills. Baast will attack if she feels she is threatened by any type of power. Pace::So why not attack us? Billie::Rachel's the cheese, you guys are the mouse. Pierce: But we weren't even after her...ugh, she's just asking to die. Price::Bait...she's using Rachel as bait to get to us. Right, I see. Billie::Baast has nine lives, her ninth death is the hardest death. Pace::Ok, well Price can blow her up eight times and then we can say a spell. Billie::Negative. Pace::Looks quickly to Billie::Why is that? Pierce: The first time she dies we can rescue Rachel...right? Billie::Negative again. If captured by Baast, she puts her victims in some type of protective dungeon. Baast's whole entire lair is a trap waiting to go off. Pierce: I got past Asia and Normuck's cages, I can get past this one. Billie::She presses her lips together and looks down::She gets a flashback of what happened just a few nights ago::She looks back up:: Normuck...he wanted you to rescue me. It was all a test. He wanted to see how powerful you all really are. Billie:: ...He got his taste of the power you guys hold. That's why you were able to rescue me. Billie::I'm tired. ::She gets up and walks out of the dining room:: Pace::Looks to Pierce:: Pierce: ::He nods slowly:: Where are you going? Billie::Sleep... Pierce: ::He stands up quickly:: ...Will you watch Adam? Billie::Whatever... ::She walks to the staircase and goes upstairs:: Price::Looks to Pierce::So, is there a spell or potion in there? Or do we have to make another one up? Pierce: ::He looks down to the book:: It doesn't list it...that's very odd. Pace::How come it's getting harder and harder to fight Demons? No spells, no potions, we get shit. Price::Ay! Pace::Looks to Price::Sorry... Pierce: Lets just cook something powerful up, write something down, and kill her ass. Price::Alright...Pace and Pierce you guys could get some sleep. I'll wake you both up when I'm done with the potion. Pierce: I won't be going to sleep... Price::Look, the past few days we haven't been getting any sleep. You need your rest to gain strength. I'm not saying get sleep because I don't care, I do. I just want you to get sleep so you both can be strong for the battle. Pierce: ::He hesitates, then quickly and stubbornly walks up the stairs:: Price::Looks to Pace:: Pace::Fakely yawns and teleports upstairs in a bright blue light:: Price::Turns and walks into the kitchen::He turns the burners on::He walks to the sink and grabs a pot and starts to fill it up:: Price::He turns and places the pot on the burner::He turns and opens up the cabinets and takes down of a couple of herbs and places them on the island:: ::The camera closes up on Price's face then slowly glides away from him and to the kitchen window to show Jessie looking through:: Price::Gets a feeling as if he was being watched::He quickly looks to the window to see Jessie run::He walks quickly to the back door and opens it::He steps out and watches Jessie run across the street and into his house:: Price::Who the--::He turns and walks back inside and closes the door behind him::He walks into the kitchen and sees the Oracle working up the potion::What are you doing? Oracle::She puts a pinch of Dill Weed in and stirs::Just putting a little PUNCH in it. Price::How about I put a little PUNCH in you? Oracle::She turns to him and leans against the island:: Is that a threat or sexual comment? Price::Get laid. Oracle::Haven't done that for about couple of...hours. ::She laughs then stops:: Price::Too much info... ::He walks over to the fridge and opens it and takes out the container of Asia's blood::He turns and walks to the pot:: Oracle::Oh, hell god's blood...just use a pinch. Don't know why you're getting all spiced up for Baast. Price::He takes out a baster and takes in a little of Asia's blood::How do you know about Baast? Oracle::Oh, yea, my people and her people don't mix. The one that took Rachel, her real name is Kendra. She's a total bitch, pretty strong, but total bitch. Price::Thanks for the info...can you leave now? Oracle::NO. Price::Puts the last herb in and the potion is down::Smoke erupts from the pot::He pours it into four capsules and puts the cork in::He turns the burner off and grabs the pot and places it in the sink::He turns to the Oracle who is shaking up each of the potions, saving Price the effort of doing it:: Price::What do you want? I don't have time for your games. Oracle::Right, you have to go and play both mommy and daddy for your brothers. Why? Can't they do things on their own? Why must you keep everything together? Price::What are you talking about? Oracle::I knew who you were before you came here, who you truly are. Price::Yea? I was what? Go ahead and tell me because I'm very curious. Oracle::Oh, you were the fun, wild, break the law, kick ass, don't give a crap about the world, Price. Price::Get out... Oracle::I wonder if that night you killed that innocent boy haunts you. Price::Get out... Oracle::Or how about beating up that old man because your friends thought it was cool? Price::Get out! ::He screams as he closes his eyes: The Oracle blows up into orbs: He opens his eyes to see her gone:: Price::He grabs the potions and walks to the staircase and walks upstairs:: Price::He walks down the hallway and walks to his bedroom: He opens the door and closes it behind him::He walks over to the dresser and places the potions down::He looks over to his bed and lays down:: Price::He rolls over on his back and looks up at the ceiling: He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep:: Pace::Walks down the hallway::Price! Pierce! Pace::Uhh--I think we forgot to save Rachel! Pace::Walks to Pierce/Rachel's bedroom and opens the door to see Billie sleeping on the floor::Billie! Billie::Sits up quickly and throws a potion at Pace:: Pace::Catches it before it breaks by hitting him::What was that? Billie::I sleep armed, sorry. ::She gets up wearing a wifebeater and blue bootyshorts:: ::Bright, golden lights appear in the center of the hallway; a burst of wind flying through the hallway as the lights enter:: Pace::He turns back in the hallway as he feels the burst of wind:: Billie::Takes a step towards Pace::But he puts his hand out to stop her::She stays put but ready to fight:: Pace::Price... Pierce: ::He appears out of the light and wind; wearing all Black; his clothes are torn, but he quickly moves to his bedroom, then stops, seeing his brother and Billie:: Pierce: ::He takes a step forward but Pace does not move:: -Pace. Pace::What--what happened to you? Price::Opens the door and walks out into the hallway to see Pierce's clothes torn and him worn out::What the hell happened to you? Pierce: I...I need to get through, excuse me- ::He takes a step forward but Pace still stands in the doorway:: Pace... ::He turns back to Price and phases through Pace and walks into his bedroom, quickly walking to the dresser:: Billie::She looks at Pierce::What happened, P? Pace::He turns and looks at his brother as Price walks to Pace's side::Pierce... Price::He puts his hand on Pace's shoulder:: Pace::He glares at Pierce and squints using his telepathy::Tell me what happened. Pierce: ::He picks up a locket from one of the drawers and puts it in his pocket, then looks back to his brothers, quickly blocking his mind:: Price::Pierce, tell me what happened damn it! Pierce: There's a way to get to Rachel, no need for a spell or anything, but only I can do it since I can phase; and I need something that will deflect some of the energy, thus her locket. Billie::That's all? That's what you had to say? I thought you were going to say that the world was going to end in a couple of minutes. ::She turns and sits down on the bed as she looks at Pierce:: Price::Uh...you're not going alone. Pace::Yea, he's right, you're not going alone. Pierce: My world is ending, and neither of you can get past the field, you have to be able to phase, and neither of you can. My powers just let me do it, that's all. Billie::Baast has a weapon that is like, in her finger nails. Her finger nails can go up to a foot long and their very sharp. Sharp enough to cut through freshly made metal. Price::Field? Ok, I'll go write a spell for all of us to phase. Pace::Looks to Pierce:: There's something else, what is it? Pierce: There isn't time, I'm sensing something I don't like and I can't wait for everyone to get dressed and be ready to go. Pierce: ::He takes a few steps towards the door, but quickly walks to his side and phases through the wall and upstairs to the attic:: Price::I'll go get dressed. ::He quickly turns and walks into his room:: Pace::I'll go put sneakers on. ::He turns and walks down the hallway and into his room:: Billie::I'll go take a shower, do my hair, put make up on, then get dressed, after I eat that is. Price::Billie! Billie::Or, I can just throw something on. Pierce: ::He walks to the cupboard and looks through the potions, then closes the cupboard and looks back to the door, disappearing in lights once more; the wind gusts as he leaves:: ::Price and Pace walk into the attic:: Pace::Great, he left without us. Price::That bastard. Pace::Oh, well. ::Walks to the book and opens it::He flips through the pages:: Price::Walks to the cupboard and looks through the potions::One of the potions are gone. Pace::Looks up::That would be? Price::The potion that was made to vanquish Xandrus. Pace::Oh...that's a lovely potion to pick, I hope he uses it right, I don't feel like dying while being combined with you. Pierce: ::He appears in bright lights and looks around, the entire area quiet and still; he quickly closes his eyes and looks to his left, now seeing a large field of light, then Rachel collapsed against a boulder:: Pierce: ::He looks around, not sensing or seeing Baast:: Pierce: ::He creeps forward and disappears from light; then moves quietly towards the wall of energy:: Pierce: ::He jumps back and takes the locket from his pocket and becomes visible, throwing it forward; and quickly jumps forward, disappearing in lights as he throws his energy around, phasing through the field:: Pierce: ::He lands and picks up the locket, sensing around, feeling Baast coming near:: Pierce: ::He turns invisible and walks towards Rachel, creeping against the wall:: Pierce: ::He looks to Rachel, focusing his energy on her:: Rachel: ::She opens her eyes, looking around quickly; she's obviously weak:: Pierce: ::He walks forward and kneels down beside her:: I'm here for you... ::He takes her arm and helps her stand; then becomes visible:: Pierce: ::He focuses his energy around and inhales:: Rach, I need you to be strong, ::He whispers to her ear:: We have to be strong...for Adam... Rachel: ::She looks to him and nods, leaning against him as not to fall:: Baast::She runs to Pierce and throws him into the cave wall::She then pushes Rachel back:: Rachel: ::She falls back, collapsing to the ground:: Pierce: ::He disappears through the cave wall, reappearing next to Rachel:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand forward, making her fly backwards and quickly wraps his arm around his wife:: Pierce: ::He throws his force forward at the energy field and it glows; then he throws the potion at it, making it explode; sending a huge force backwards at them:: Pierce: ::He grabs Rachel and they disappear in golden lights, zooming through the field, then collapsing onto the ground outside of the field:: Pierce: ::He rolls across the ground with Rachel and looks around, not seeing Baast:: Pierce: ::He looks around and focuses his energy:: Price...Pace...I need your help... Baast::She appears in front of Pierce and throws him up in the air::She jumps up and spins around and kicks him in the chest:: Pierce: ::He flies back, and lands against the ground, then jumps forward, spin kicking her in the stomach:: Pierce: ::He runs to a wall and jumps up, back flipping in the air, and punches her in the face:: Baast:::She flinches and pushes Pierce into the wall::She turns to look towards Rachel and begins to walk over to her::She throws her hand out and a sword appears:: Rachel: Get away from me! ::She pushes herself from the ground and quickly stands up against a brick wall; she looks around frantically:: Price! Pace! ::Blue Orbs appear behind Baast and a bright blue light appears:: Pierce: ::He pushes himself up and ignores his pain, quickly looking over to the lights:: Baast::She turns around to see the brothers::She glares at them and looks to Pace quickly::She takes a step back:: Price::Keeps his eyes on Baast:: So, Pace, what's with all the Demons fearing you? Pace:: I have no idea...I'll get Rachel. Pierce: ::He forces himself to stand up further and sees the sword in her hands and throws his hand forward; throwing a force at Baast, making her explode backwards violently:: Rachel: ::She looks away quickly as Baast's blood and such splatters at them:: Baast::She vanishes:: Pace::Quickly walks over to Rachel and helps her up:: You ok? Price::Looks around:: Rachel: ...I think I'll survive, I just want to see Adam...thanks though. Pierce: ::He looks to his brothers, then to where Baast was, seeing a huge mess of blood and mess:: Well she'll be out for a while... Oxy:: No, she won't. Get out, now! Price::Turns around to see Oxy:: Hey, there. How you been? Oxy:: I'm doing quite fine. But you four really need to get out. This battle isn't going to finish by potions and powers. ::She holds up a silver dagger:: You need this to vanquish a Baast. Pace:: Ok, well just hand it over. We can take care of it. Oxy:: If you haven't noticed, I'm the Demon Slayer, you guys are Witches. ::Looks to Pierce:: Do you really want to end up looking like him? Pace::Looks over to his brother along with Price:: Price:: Yea, I don't want to look like that. Oxy:: Ok, so then just do what I say and get out. Pace::Looks to Oxy then to his brothers:: Hey, I rather she die than us. Oxy:: Oh, thanks. Pierce: Do you know why the Baast took Rachel? Oxy:: I have no clue. Baasts only goes after power or what consumes power. Oxy:: Looks around:: You guys need to leave, right now. Pierce: ::He walks over to Rachel and holds her; they disappear in lights:: Baast:: Reappears and throws her hands at Price and Pace:: ::The two brothers look into Baast's direction::A blue sphere forms and flies at them::The ball becomes an energy field to block Price and Pace out from interfering:: Oxy::Turns quickly to look at Baast:: She starts to walk in a circle, so does Baast:: She keeps her eyes focus on the Demon:: She grips the daggers handle tightly:: She crouches and jumps at Baast to bring her to the cold ground:: Baast::Falls down and looks to Oxy ontop of her:: Oxy::Pins her down and raises the dagger:: She brings it down with force but Baast uses telekinesis to make Oxy fly off of her:: Oxy::She falls back onto the ground and quickly gets up to her feet:: Baast::Runs at Oxy with full speed and punches the young woman:: She then spins around and kicks her in the chest:: Oxy:: Flies back and hits the cave wall::She falls to her knees:: She looks down to the ground and looks up to Baast:: She gets up and runs at Baast:: Baast:: Throws an energy ball at Oxy: Oxy::Flips into the air as it misses her::She flips behind Baast and turns to face her back::She grabs her shoulders and flips herself over in front of the Demon::She uppercuts her high kicks her:: Baast::Stumbles back into the wall:: Oxy::Runs at Baast jumps into the air to kick Baast in the face but Baast vanishes::She kicks the wall and lands on her feet::She turns around quickly to throw the dagger in the brothers' direction:: Price::Quickly puts his hands up to freeze it but Baast appears in front of the brothers and gets hit with the dagger:: Oxy::Her amulet around her neck glows as she vanishes then reappears behind Baast:: Baast::She looks into Pace's eyes:: Oxy::She pulls the dagger out of her back and turns Baast around::She then with strength of speed, forces the dagger into Baast heart::The dagger glows a bright yellow as Baast glows and is absorbed into the dagger:: ::The force field vanishes:: Price::You kick ass. Oxy:: Yea, I know. Pierce: ::He reappears in bright lights, shaking off as he reappears:: This entire place is covered with yuckiness. Pierce: ::He looks over to Oxy, then starring at her amulet:: What's your amulet about? Oxy:: For a person that once tried to steal it from me, you forgot what it is. I'm so sad. Price:: Well, thanks, but I need to get back to my son. Pace::Looks at Price confused then looks back to Oxy:: Pierce: ::He looks to Oxy again:: That amulet shouldn't be existent. What's your amulet about? It can't be one of the ones we destroyed. Oxy:: Every Demon Slayer carries an extra one. You know, just in case snobs like you want to take it away. Pace::Smiles at Oxy's comment:: Pierce: You know what that amulet does, you know what it can do, and you know why it isn't good that we allow you to have it. So tell me Oxy, why would you endanger its existence by coming here to warn us? Oxy:: Just because I was tricked into killing the good guys doesn't mean I'm bad. Hello, Demon Slayer, that means I slay Demons and Demons only. In order for me to do that I need the amulet. Without it...I'm useless. Pierce: Well we're done here, Baast is weakened, Rachel's safe, lets get back to life. Oxy::Uh...Baast is trapped in this dagger. Price::Whatever... ::Grabs Pierce and Pace's hand and they orb away:: Oxy::So mean to me... Billie::Walks into the sitting room and stands in front of Pierce:: Don't you ever, EVER, ever, do that again! You hear me?! Billie:: You wait till I get finished dressing then we go! Price::Walks into the room with four cups of coffee on a tray:: He places the tray down on the coffee table:: He takes a cup and sits down in a love seat:: Pierce: ::He walks in after her and leans against the wall:: Billie, you need to hurry up next time, how about that? Worrying about getting you to school is the least of my priorities. Billie::No, not that. You don't just vanish on me, you need to wait so that all of us can go and vanquish the Baast Bitch together. Pace::Walks in wearing white pajama pants::He takes a cup and sits down on the sofa and takes a sip::Mmm, nothing like coffee on a Friday night. Pierce: Billie, you know you shouldn't be worrying about that, maybe when you get into a relationship you'll understand. Billie:: Whatever. ::Turns quickly to Pace:: You need to tell that Jessie guy to stop bothering me. I saw him peeking through the window when I was in the kitchen. Price::Quickly looks to Pace::Yea, when I was making a potion I saw him too. What's up with that? Pace:: Ok, everybody stop attacking the innocent one here. He's lonely and new. He has no friends so he just snoops around. Price::He's going to snoop around at the wrong time, what if a Demon shimmers in? Oxy::Then I'll be here to kick it's ass. Price::Looks to Oxy:: Can you stop showing up when you are not wanted? Pace::Yea, what are you? Alicia? Oxy:: Alicia? Pace:: Nevermind. Oxy::Ok. Pace::Yup. Oxy:: Right. Pace:: Nods his head:: Oxy::Looks to Pierce:: How's the babe? Pierce: ...The baby's fine, ::He folds his arms across his chest:: Why? Oxy:: What? A girl can't ask how a child is doing? You three really need to stop looking at me as the enemy. I mean, Pace has a half-Demon and half-Witch child, he dated an Witch Assassin, and Pierce...you aren't the good boy neither. Pierce: -The Past is the Past. Leave it there. Oxy:: Oh, but with me it's different. Pierce: If we trusted everyone then we'd be screwing ourselves. Oxy:: I'm only 18, what screwing can I do? Pace:: Uh... Oxy:: That didn't sound right, so I take it back. Price:: Looks up:: I'm going to go take care of my son. Tell him that Demons are just the boogey man. ::He gives Oxy a fake smile and walks to the stair case and walks upstairs:: Pierce: Uh...me too... ::He turns around quickly, disappearing in lights:: Pace::Looks to Oxy:: You think you could find your own way out? Oxy:: Yes, I think I know how to open the door and walk out. Pace::Smiles then looks to Billie:: Night. Billie:: Later...I'll turn off all the lights and everything. Pace:: Thanks. ::He smiles and walks upstairs:: Oxy:: Crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow::She gives off a smirk as she looks at Billie:: Billie:: Watches Pace walk up the stairs and looks at Oxy:: What? Do I have "stare at me" written across my forehead? Oxy:: No... Billie:: Then what? Are you cock eyed? Are you staring at something across the room? Oxy:: No... Billie:: Alright, I'm getting very irritated. Oxy:: It's written all over your body. Billie::She squints her eyes confused:: What is? Oxy:: To stare at you. Billie::Blushes and looks down as she places her hair behind her ears:: Oxy:: So you like that Jessie guy? Billie:: Ew, no. He's way too...immature for me. I don't even find him all that attractive. Like Pace said, he's just lonely and needs friends. When and if they come, he'll back off. Oxy:: She takes a step closer to Billie as she faces her face to face:: Billie:: She looks deeply into Oxy's eyes:: You have beautiful brown eyes, they're like honey or something. ::She says almost put in a trance:: Oxy:: Whatever that is on me, that you like...you can taste. ::She places her hand on Billie's cheek and leans in:: Billie:: She leans in as her lips connect with Oxy's::She kisses Oxy's soft lips as her hand wanders up Oxy's arm to the back of her head:: ::The camera zooms in on Oxy and Billie then passes them to window to show Jessie:: Jessie:: Wow, this is so hot. ::He stands outside the window as he watches the two young women kiss:: He then turns his head as he hears a foot step:: He then looks back to see Billie standing alone:: Where did that girl go? Billie::She smiles as she gently touches her lips:: She smiles and turns to the staircase:: She looks back to where she and Oxy were standing:: Wow...great kisser. |
