Pierce: That movie rocked! ::He smiles and looks over to his brothers:: And it feels so great to finally get out and do something with just my bros again! Pace:: The movie sucked, the seats sucked, the theatre sucked, everything sucked. ::He throws the bag of popcorn onto the sidewalk:: Even the popcorn sucks. I'm better off staying home watching some T.V. movie then spend money on a stupid movie. Price:: Pace, be nice. ::He looks to Pierce:: The movie kicked ass. I just didn't understand why'd he kill the girl? I mean, she was pregnant with his kid, then he just kills her, for what? She didn't do anything to him. Pierce: Yeah, that was the only problem with the movie... ::He stops and bends over the picks up Pace's popcorn and throws it into a trashcan, then back to his brothers:: I think they should have explained that better... Pierce: I don't really get why they called the movie 'Enchanted' though, I think something else would have fit it better... ::He smiles and walks towards the parking lot with his brothers:: Pace:: Yea, like "Boring and Boring." I can't believe that movie got four and half star. s Pierce: ::He glances over to Pace and rolls his eyes, getting out his car keys:: ::A crash is heard across the street in an alley way:: People walk by the dark alley way as they look in and try and see what is happening:: A female scream for help is heard:: Price:: Can we ever get a break? Pace:: Yea, lets go home. Price:: Pace...what's gotten into you? Pace:: Uh--nothing. Pierce: I say we ignore all the other people and we go invisible and walk past them... Price:: Lets go bag us a Demon. ::He says smiling:: Pierce: ::He senses:: No one's watching, ::He turns and looks to his brothers:: I've been practicing, ::He takes his brothers hands and they disappear from sight:: Demon:: Throws his hands out as his nails become 12 in claws:: He swings at the young woman but she jumps back:: Woman:: She presses her back against the wall and closes her eyes tight:: She screams out for help but everyone seems to be ignoring her:: Please...help me... Demon:: Shut up! ::He throws his hand at the woman and slices her throat:: He licks his claws as he savors the taste of the blood:: He inhales as he smiles:: His facial expressions then become angry:: He looks around:: Witches! Demon::He flies back as he hits the brick wall:: He falls down and hits the dumpster then the cold concrete real hard:: ::The brothers appear as they stand side by side:: Price:: Umm...he didn't blow up! Pace:: Try again! Demon::Gets up quickly and puts his hands up in front of him to show the brothers his sharp claws:: Pierce: ::He turns, eyeing the woman dying in the background--he quickly turns invisible as he aims to get to her--:: Demon:: ::He jumps forward--swinging his claws in the air--just barely missing Pierce's chest as Pierce jumps to the side, reappearing and falling by Price's feet:: Price:: Throws his hands as he sends out an ice ball:: Wrong power... Demon:: Waves his hand, shattering the ice ball:: Pierce: ::He pushes himself up:: Price we gotta get to her-- Pace:: I'll try and snap his neck... ::He vanishes in a bright blue light:: Demon:: Looks around then back to the two remaining brothers:: I hate Witches... ::He hisses out at them:: Price:: Yea? And I hate your face, so deformed and worn out. Demon:: He forms an energy ball:: Pierce:: Price! ::He throws his hand to uses telekinesis to push the energy ball away but suddenly he disappears in a bright light:: Price:: Looks as Pierce disappears:: Not the time! Pace:: Appears behind the Demon:: Demon::Turns around quickly and scratches Pace's arm:: Pace:: He screams in agony:: He falls to his knees:: Demon:: Walks to Price slowly:: Price:: No... ::He throws his hands trying to blow him up or freeze him but it seems that the Demon is immune:: Help! Pace! Pierce! Price:: I won't leave my family behind...I won't leave my son alone! Demon:: Swings his claws at Price:: Price:: Falls to the ground as the claws miss his face:: He crawls back up to the wall:: Pace:: Jumps onto the Demons back and grabs the Demon's neck:: He then turns it to the left quickly and rips it off:: Price:: Looks up to see the Demon blow up in dust:: Bout time. Pierce: ::He reappears in lights with a gust in mid-air and lands on the ground:: Pace:: Sorry, I kind of got wounded. ::He helps Price and Pierce up to his feet:: Price:: Dusts himself off and looks at Pierce:: What the hell Pierce! If it wasn't for Pace, I would've been dead. Pierce: ::He runs over to the woman, kneeling down--then standing up:: She's dead. ::He turns and walks to his brothers:: I don't know what happened, I don't just suddenly disappear when I focus my power on something... Pace:: Look, can't we just go home? I'm kind of worn out. Price:: You need to get that wound fixed. Pierce: Yes, I think that'd be best...especially if you can't heal yourself out of it. Pace:: I have healing powers, remember? This thing in me can and will heal me...just give it time. Price:: Well it didn't protect you from that Demon. What the hell was that thing anyway? Pierce: Lets look into it later, now lets go home, ::He takes out his car keys--looking over, seeing the woman lying dead on the cement:: Hang on for a few minutes guys and I'll let the Police know. Price:: Walks out of the alley way along with Pierce:: Price:: Walks along with his brothers:: He puts his hand to his head as he feels a little dizzy:: Whoa, pretty lights. ::He says as he looks up at the street lights:: ::The Camera slowly goes up to the sun room window and inside showing the brothers:: Pace:: Did you find out who this Demon is? Price:: Looks to Pierce:: Did you? Scrying ain't doing anything for me. ::He drops the crystal on the map:: Pierce: ::He pushes the Book of Shadows to the table and looks up:: Well we have nothing to scry on other than our magic. And yes, I did. Pierce: The big Demon with a claw goes by 'Luthrox' - Who knows where these names come from, anyway, there is a vanquishing potion but it says that each Luthrox Demon has the ability to kill its own special way, and its claw is normally what it kills with, so the question of the day is what did this Demon kill with? He scratched you, and they all have claws, so something is special with our friend here. Pace:: What? Price:: Looks to Pace:: Let me see your arm. Pace:: No...for what? Pierce: He kills with something, you got cut, he got you with something, that has to be it. Price:: To see if it healed or not... Pace:: It healed, leave it alone. Price:: If you don't want to show it to me then it must of not healed. Pace:: Pierce...tell Price to leave me be. Pierce: I'm with Price on this one... ::He picks up the Book of Shadows again and walks to the kitchen with it:: Pace:: Fine... ::He slowly lifts his sleeve to show the claw marks:: The skin red and irritated, scales form around the wound:: Price:: Looks at it the wound:: Oh--my--God...Pierce! Pierce: What Price? ::He walks back to the Conservatory with the Book of Shadows, then looks down, and it disappears in lights:: What is it? Price:: Look at his wound... Pierce: ::He walks to his brothers and looks down at it, then to Pace's face:: How have you been managing to walk around with that gash on your arm? Pace:: Easy...I get up and move the muscles and bones in my legs and they move. Pierce: Well that gash doesn't look good, we need to get that taken care of. Pace:: Ok, well I made a whole batch of healing potions a while ago, we have some I think. Pierce: Not specifically for this wound there isn't. Price:: Right, ok...so what we need to do is bring Pace to the hospital. Pace:: Ah--yes, a hospital. Hospitals are my favorite hang out place. Especially when people are dying right next to me. Wonderful, shall I pack my suit case? Pierce: The hospital can't help, this is a Demonic thing.If we had a Whitelighter that'd be nice, but no...we're good enough for our dangerous selves it seems. Right? Price:: I don't know. Maybe the doctors can take a look at it? They could probably sustain the infection and that'll give us time to look for the solution to our problem. Pace:: You mean, my problem? Pierce: Good idea Price, lets do that then. Price:: Yeah...why you being all bitchy today? Pace:: I'm not... Price:: Yes you are. Pace:: Must be the parasite...you know the bird thing. Pierce: Hey if he's lying you can always steal his power and empathize with him, Price. ::He smiles, then walks to the stairway:: I think Rachel's still home, I'm going to tell her we're leaving. Pace:: Alright... Price:: Ok, so Pace go upstairs and I guess you can just pack what you really need. Pace:: Whatever. Price:: Love you--don't die. ::Gets up and walks to the front door::Grabs the car keys and his black Blazer:: He opens the door and walks outside and to his car:: Pace:: Looks at Pierce:: So...where's the Demon magnet heading? Pierce: ::He walks up the stairs:: She keeps doing her own things; she's practically done closing the flower shoppe...and don't call her that. ::He walks into his room then walks to the stairway and stops at the top stair and turns to Pace:: And she's already off somewhere. Pace:: Just a matter of time... Pierce: What? Pace:: You'll figure it out... ::He turns and opens the door to his room and walks in::He turns and smiles at Pierce and closes the door:: Pierce: ::He looks to Pace's door and quickly walks down the stairs:: Price:: Sits in the car as he waits for his brothers to come out:: What is taking them so long? Pierce: ::He walks to the car door and gets in the front seat, not saying anything to Price:: Price:: Looks at Pierce:: Well hello to you too...what's up? Pierce: Nothing...Pace is just being an ass about Rachel again. Price:: Oh, just ignore him. Pierce: Well you know how he can be. Pace:: Walks to the backseat's door and opens it::He throws his duffle bag in and gets in as he shuts the door:: To the hospital! Price:: Smiles and puts the key in the ignition and starts the engine:: Doctor: Oh my Goodness Mr. Halliwell, what did you say attacked you again? Pace:: Uh--a--uh--cat. Price:: Looks to Pierce as he rolls his eyes then back to the doctor:: Doctor: ...A cat? A Bobcat? A tiger maybe? Pierce: ::He leans over to Price:: Okay can we please go to Magic School now? Doctor: I'm going to have to get your arm X-rayed for this, Mr. Halliwell. A nurse will be in with you shortly ::He turns and walks out of the examination room:: Price:: Looks to Pierce:: If there isn't anything in the book I doubt the Magic School would be of any help. Plus, it's closed. What would be there? Pierce: It got reopened...somewhat. Well it is being used for something nowadays. And the basic synopsis of what just happened, is that ::He looks to Pace:: you have a high temperature, and you need an X-ray. Probably have an infection. ...And we just lost money with the insurance company. Pace:: What?! How did we lose money with the insurance company? Pierce: ...We just spent money to get you examinated. ::He turns back to Price:: And, Magic School has a lot of more resources than the Book of Shadows. Price:: Ok, so you and I will go to the Magic School and Pace can stay here, no? Pierce: That'd work fine... ::He turns to Pace:: Have fun with the doctors and nurses. Pace:: Oh, I will. Price:: Places his hand on Pierce's shoulder and they orb away:: Pace:: Watches as his brothers orb away:: He then looks at his wound as it vanishes not leaving a scare:: ::A large man walks in medical blues:: Well Mr. Halliwell, time for your X-ray. Pace:: What X-ray? Nurse: For your arm. Pace:: Looks at his arm:: Nothing is wrong with my arm...I'm feeling fine and I have nothing wrong with me. So you can give us our money back and I'll be on my way. Nurse: ::He grins:: Nice try, follow me please. ::He turns and leaves:: Pace:: But look at my arm...no scrapes, no scars, no bleeding, just beautiful healed skin. Did you know that the skin is the largest organ? Or tissue...one of those two. Rachel: ::She walks into the dining room from the kitchen and sets Adam down in the crib nearby:: So did you get everything covered at the store? Ethan: ::He looks up to her from the table, with mounds of paperwork in front of him:: Yes...pretty sure everything's fine. Rachel: Good...good... ::She kneels down and puts the blanket over Adam:: Ethan: Rachel, are you sure this is the best idea? Rachel: Well it's a little too late to change my mind now, and look, the store was going downwards anyway. It's fine now. Ethan: But you need a job, and I need a job too. Rachel: What are you talking about? Look, I need to be with Adam right now, and I can always get a job somewhere. Besides, I already got Pierce to hire you. Ethan: He hired me? Rachel: Well I'm pretty sure he's going to, besides, he needs someone he can trust. Carly and I have been working our magic. Ethan: ::Smiles:: Well now I'm happy... ::He turns back to the papers and sorts through some of the papers:: Rachel: Don't worry Eth, it'll all be good ::She nods and kneels down, playing with Adam some more:: Price:: So, how did Prin die...exactly? Price:: He takes a big black book from the shelf in the library and sits down:: He opens the book and goes through it:: Pierce: ::He takes a book from a table and glances over to Price:: Demon attack, Pace and I were about to get killed, Prin used his powers and got in the way; Pace and I thought he just got blown back... ... Price:: Blown back...to where? Pierce: We just thought the blast had blew him backwards, we thought his power had deflected the shot, since we got blown back, but he was closer...you know Price, you really should know this already, I've told you before bro... Pierce: ::He closes the book and looks around:: The librarian really shouldn't be taking her time, I'd expect her to be back by now. Price:: Sorry...I think I'm getting old. Did you find anything in those books because these books are worthless. Pierce: Nothing, nothing. And the librarian probably isn't coming back. Price:: This school sucks...so our brother gets scratched by some macho-Demon and we can't even heal him. Why don't we just go to the el--nevermind...I'm sure I can batch something up. Get a little Unicorn dust and some Toadstool. Pierce: You say that with every potion you make "a little unicorn dust and some toadstool will do it" - Fine, lets go back to the Manor, besides, Pace probably is there already. Price:: I do not and I just got the best idea in my whole entire life...except for that time with the joining of hands. Pierce: What are you talking about? ::He walks over to him:: Lets go back already-- Price:: The school has a laboratory that only the Elders can use to make potions for high rank Demons, correct? Pierce: ...Maybe? Pierce: I never actually thought the Elders made the potions, I mean, we make our own potions...I just thought everyone else did. Price:: Well, lets go to the Bat Cave and get things shaking. Pierce: ::He smiles:: Lead the way. ::Blue lights appear behind Pierce:: Pierce: ::He takes a few steps towards Price as he turns around:: Oracle:: What are you guys doing here? Pierce: How did you get up here, that's a good question... Oracle:: Hello? I'm both good and evil. You need to be 100% evil to be banned from here. I on the other hand want peace and love and equality for all homo-sapians. Pierce: If you say so, tell her why we're here... ::He turns and wanders around, looking at books:: Price:: We're here to find a potion for Pace. Oracle:: A potion, so why don't you just look in that ugly book of yours. Price:: Because in our book there isn't a cure for when the Demon poisons his victims. Oracle:: Oh, so let me get this correct...you guys were attacked last night after seeing a movie, Pierce went bye-bye for a few, you froze up, Pace went all hero boy and before the Demon could kill you, Pace snapped his neck. Innocent killed. Oracle:: ...OH! Before you froze up, Pace got scratched by the big bad...this is correct right? Price:: If you knew this then why did you make me say it? Oracle:: Just for the fun of it...I get kind of bored now-a-days. Pierce: ::He walks back over:: Are you here to help or what? We're about to head back. Oracle:: You want a cure, right? Pierce: ::He nods; his arms folded across his chest:: Oracle:: Why don't you find the Demon that attacked Pace? Price:: Pace killed it. Oracle:: There's always more then one...those type of Demons don't travel too far from their home. But you need to be careful, they are sometimes immune to a Witch's power and when felt threatened they are vicious. Price:: We can handle it. Pierce: And we'll have to be careful since they are all different... Oracle:: Are you sure? Because I see your death along with Pierce's...find a Demon of the clan, kill it, takes it heart and blood...and take a gift also...you'll know what to do. ::She smiles and teleports away in blue light:: Pierce: Great, now we have to be cautious...lets go home... ::He disappears in bright lights:: Price:: Right...home is where we go. ::He looks around and orbs away:: Pierce: ::He appears in bright lights in the sitting room:: Rachel: ::She looks over from sitting at the desk with stacks of papers in front of her:: Hey Pierce. Price:: Orbs besides Pierce:: He looks to Rachel:: Pierce: ::He looks around:: Hey Rachel: Hey Price Price:: Sup...uh--what's with all the papers? Ethan: ::He walks from the kitchen and sits down across from Rachel:: We are finishing all of our paperwork. Price:: Looks at Ethan:: Oh look what the devil brought in. Ethan: What? ::He moves some of the papers in a stack and hands them to Rachel:: Done all of these... Pierce: She's closing the store, remember? Rachel: ::She takes them and puts them in a folder and sets them to her right:: Price, be nice. Pierce: Meanwhile, is Pace home? Have you seen him? Price:: Yea, did he come back from the hospital? Rachel: I haven't seen him yet, but you might want to check his room. Price:: I'll check, I need to check in on Isaac also. ::He turns and walks to the staircase and upstairs:: Pierce: So... ::He walks over to the crib and picks up Adam and begins to rock him gently:: How are things? Ethan: Just paperwork...lots of paperwork. Rachel: Don't worry him, hey Pierce, how's the second Rainy Days going? Pierce: ...It's actually getting done this week, finally. First restaurant is bumpy again with money but we're working it out. Rachel: And the new manager...Piercy? Pierce: ...Right. Ethan, call me tomorrow. Rachel: Ugh Boys... ::She turns back to her work:: Pierce: ::He smiles and sets Adam down and walks over to Rachel and kisses her, then walks upstairs:: Haha, sorry Rach. Billie:: Eva, why do you even do that shit? Eva:: Looks up at Billie glass-eyed:: Because it makes you feel good. I thought that you would have done it too, but I guess not. ::She smiles and takes another pull of the joint:: Billie:: I don't need a plant to make me feel good. there's something called boys, money, and a little bit of magic. Eva:: Magic, ha! That is so fake. Billie:: Are you sure about that? Eva:: I'm positive. Billie:: I'm out, it's getting late and I don't need to be walking the night streets of San Fran. Eva:: She laughs as she looks at her watch:: I can't even tell the time. Billie:: Keep smoking that shit, it makes you smarter. Eva:: I know, I feel like an honor student right now. Billie:: Whatever... ::She laughs:: I'll see you tomorrow. Eva:: Later B. Billie:: She gives a forced smile and walks out of the park:: She swings her nike bag off her shoulders and opens it:: She looks inside and takes out her cell phone:: She pulls the swings to close it and pulls it over her shoulders: Billie:: She turns to take a short cut down an alley:: She begins to walk a little bit faster as she looks at the clock on her phone:: Billie:: She hears a crash and turns around:: Hello? Is anybody there? Billie:: She looks around and turns around and keeps on walking:: Billie:: She hears another crash and turns around quickly:: Stop! Man:: Before he could shimmer away he stops and glares at her:: How'd you do that? Billie:: Do what? Man:: Shakes his head and throws an energy ball:: Billie:: She dodges it and falls to the ground:: She reaches in her pocket and pulls out a blue capsule:: Bite this! ::She throws it at him:: Man:: Catches it and throws it at the wall:: Billie:: She gets up and dust herself off:: Hey, how about we settle this with a game of hit and run? Man:: What's that? Billie:: Charmed One! Man:: Where?! ::He turns around to see nobody and turns back to Billie and sees her run:: Billie:: Haha! You fell for it! Man:: He shimmers away and appears in front of her:: Billie:: Stops and looks at him:: You're smart... Man:: You're not. ::He puts his hand up as she flies back and onto the wet ground:: Billie:: Falls down hard:: Ugh! ::She sits up quickly:: What do you want me for? Man:: You're the end of the world, you need to be killed, you need to die. ::He forms an energy ball:: Billie:: Pace! ::Bright blue lights appear besides Billie:: Pace:: Helps Billie up and throws a fire ball at the man:: Man:: Deflects it:: Pace:: Can't you guys ever die easy? Man:: Throws an energy ball at Pace:: Pace:: Shield! ::A blue spiral circle appears on Pace's forehead:: It shoots out and forms an protective shield:: Billie:: Watches the energy ball hit the shield and discinergrate:: Pace:: Uh-oh... ::He falls to his knees:: Billie:: Watches the shield disappear:: Uh-oh? What's that mean? Billie:: I'm not leaving you here to get killed! Man:: Laughs:: So pathetic. Billie:: She stands in front of Pace:: She raises her chin as she glares at the man:: She tilts her head to the side and squints:: Man:: Are you challenging me? Billie:: You're not going to hurt him or me. Man:: Funny, very funny. Billie:: Yea? You know what's funny? Man:: What's that? Billie:: You screaming in agony as you burn! Man:: He suddenly goes on fire:: He starts to scream in pain:: You're going to die!! ::He blows up:: Pace:: Looks up at Billie:: Billie... ::The sky begins to turn black as a strong wind blows through:: Pace:: Billie... Billie:: She looks up at the sky as it slowly turns red:: Pace:: He gets up and turns Billie around quickly:: Billie! Billie:: She looks at Pace and blinks several times as she shakes her head:: She snaps out of it:: Everything turns to normal:: What happened? Pace:: Yea, what exactly happened? Billie:: She looks at Pace confused:: Pace:: Walks into the Manor:: Anybody home? ::He places his hand to his forehead and wipes off some sweat:: Billie:: She looks at Pace:: Hey P, you feeling alright? You don't look so good. Pace:: He looks at Billie then away:: I'm fine, don't worry about me. Rachel: ::She walks down the stairs:: What's up? Pace:: It appears that our innocent Billie isn't so innocent. Rachel: Like? ::She holds Adam in her arms as she sits down at the sitting room couch:: Billie:: What? Excuse me, I am. I'm waiting for the right guy to come by and pick me up off my feet. :: She says gazing into a fantasy:: Or not... ::She looks to the expression on Pace's face:: Pace:: A Demon attacked and Billie went all Demonized. Billie:: Rach, he keeps saying that! All I remember is Pace falling to the floor and him shaking me. Honestly, I don't know what happened. Rachel: We could...say a spell or something? Otherwise someone should stop lying. Pace:: A spell...yea--a--spell--would do--just--fine... :: His eyes roll to the back of his head as he faints:: Rachel: Pace?! ::She jumps up and rushes over:: Okay, now I believe you. Billie:: Oh-no! ::She catches him and falls to the wooden floor as she holds him in her lap:: She looks up to Rachel:: Price:: Walks downstairs holding Isaac's hand and walks over to Rachel:: What happened? ::He looks down and looks to Pace:: Is he alright? ::He ask concerned over his little brother:: Rachel: Umm... ::She looks down to Adam and looks up, smiling:: We'll just say a spell, that'll be fine, right? Rachel: What happened last time he fainted? Price:: Umm, hospital, test, and don't know. Isaac:: He tugs on his fathers shirt to get his attention:: Daddy... Price:: Looks down to his son:: Isaac:: Is Uncle Pace going to be alright? Rachel: Well... ::She looks down to his Pace's arm:: Something isn't right here, ::She looks up and sees him sweating:: Yeah, he's sick, he needs to go back to the hospital then. Price:: Oh-::He kneels down in front of his son so that they can both be eye leveled:: Of course, he's just not feeling okay. Why don't you go upstairs and play for a little. When all is done, Uncle Pace will go up and join you. Isaac:: Ok... ::He looks to Rachel and his father and to his uncle:: He turns and walks to the staircase and orbs upstairs into his room:: Rachel: Where is Pierce? Do we know? Price:: Last time I checked, he went upstairs...you didn't see him? Rachel: I think he left... ::She looks upwards:: Pierce! PIERCE COME HERE PLEASE, STOP TELEPORTING AWAY WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE! Billie:: She looks down to see Pace beginning to hypervenulate:: Uh--what's he doing? ::She watches him as he begins to shake:: She places her hand on his cheek:: He's burning up-- Pierce: ::He runs down the stairs; the golden lights just fading from behind him:: What, I was hom--::He sees Pace and disappears and reappears by him almost immediately, the lights just barely appearing:: What happened?! Billie:: Damn... Price:: We should get him to a hospital. Pierce: ::He looks over to Rachel:: Rachel, Billie, stay here, with Isaac and Adam, okay? Billie:: No, how about we just put him in the basement and leave him there? That'll be so much better THEN TAKING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL! ::She says sarcastically:: Rachel: As always we always stay here... Pierce: Love ya ::He kisses her on the cheek, worried, and he places his hands on Price and Pace and they disappear in lights:: Nurse: Stay here please, we'll be with you shortly-- ::She turns from Pierce and Price:: ::Nurses push a stretcher into the E.R. ; Pace lays on it unconscious:: Price:: Looks to Pierce:: What do we do? Wait here or do something? One of has to wait obviously and the other needs to find a cure. Pierce: I wasn't any bit closer when I was trying to find a cure...you do it, I'll go invisible and go inside... Price:: Ok, well, don't use any magic. In case Pace accidently exposes himself, I don't want you to get caught up in it. So you stay and say any mind erase spell if that happens. While I'm going to pay our Demon friends a visit. Pierce: Okay, good luck Price... Price:: Thanks... ::He turns and walks towards the elevator:: He presses the button to go down:: He looks to Pierce and smiles:: The elevator doors open and he walks in and presses for the door to close:: He orbs out of the elevator Pierce: ::He smiles momentarily and looks back to the E. R. doors and folds his arms, worried:: :: Bright orbs appear behind a large boulder:: Price:: He appears as the orbs vanish:: He looks around and listens very closely to what the Demons are saying:: He also listens to figure out that there are ten in there:: I could do this...I could handle this... Price:: He stands up and takes a deep breath and sighs:: He walks quickly into the lair:: He stops in his tracks to see all the Demons glaring at him:: You guys have something I want. I won't stop till I get it... Price:: He throws his hand in one direction as he keeps his eyes forward:: He blows up a Demon:: Now...I didn't want to do that but he snarled at me and I hate when Demons snarl at me. :: The Luthrox's all crouch down slightly:: Their claws come out slow as they keep their eyes on the Charmed One:: Price:: Ok...I guess news got back to you that one of my brothers killed one of yours. Oh, wait-- I just killed another one didn't I? ::One of the Luthrox's spring towards Price:: Price:: He throws his hands out as an ice ball forms and hits the Demon and turns him in ice:: He stays in an ice sculpture in mid air:: Maybe you shouldn't go around killing innocents. Price:: He throws his left hand as he blows the Demon up and with his right hand he freezes the Demon's body parts:: Price:: Looks like that hurts. Claw! :: One of the Demons claws orbs into Price's hand:: Anybod-- or anything else want to try me? I have plenty of tricks up my sleeves. Luthrox:: You will die Witch! Price:: Not before you. ::He raises his hands and throw them forward as an energy wave flies out and hits the Demons:: As it hits them all the Demons blow up from the powerful energy wave except one:: Price:: He stares at the last Luthrox standing and smiles:: Hi there-- want to cooperate or die? Luthrox:: What do you want?! ::He snarls in anger:: Price:: One of your brothers or whatever, scratched my brothers arm. Now he's sick, you're going to give me the cure, if not, then I'll kill you slow. Starting with your left pinky toe. Price:: When I'm done up towards your waist then I'll break each and everyone of your fingers off. After that your arms, then your teeth, your tongue, your skin, and your heart. Price:: That sounds real fun doesn't it? ::He asks while he tilts his head to the left and squints his eyes:: Luthrox:: There is no cure...once he is poisoned, he'll start to get ill very quickly. He'll either turn or start having illusions till he kills himself, but before he does that, he'll kill you and his whole family. Price:: One thing you Demons don't know about us. We always find a way...you guys should know that by now. ::He raises his right hand up quickly and the Luthrox's skin is ripped from his body:: The Demon falls to his knees:: Price:: Hurt? :: He throws his hands and blows the Demon up:: Guess so. Price:: He places the 12 inch claw in his back pocket:: He looks around the lair and walks over to a table with a bunch of books and potions on it:: He looks through it:: He picks up a book and stares at the cover:: Charmed Ones? Billie:: She walks downstairs and into the kitchen:: She looks inside to see no one:: She turns and walks into the sitting room and sees Rachel sitting down:: Heard from anybody? Billie:: She pulls her hair back into a tight pony tail:: She stands wearing a black corset and black slacks with black heels:: Cause I'm beginning to get worried and do I look dressed to fight? Should I change? Rachel:: She turns and looks up to Billie:: She presses her lips together and places the phone on the coffee table:: Nope, they haven't called yet. I wonder what's taking them. ::She notices Billie's clothes:: Rachel:: You're going to kill in those nice clothes? Billie:: Yea, why not? Buffy The Vampire Slayer fought in her prom dress and even died in it. She was brought back to life, of course. If she can die and ressurrect in her prom dress. I could wear an Armani Exchange outfit. Rachel:: Alright, you just--you just do you. Billie:: She walks in front of Rachel:: We need to do something. Rachel: I'm not sure there is much we can do, Billie. Maybe you can do things but I'm not a Witch, and I don't want to involve Ethan in this...I'm sure Price and Pierce are on it... Billie:: Where have our female herorines all gone? Have they decided to retire and live in a nursing home? Rachel, we are women, young, hot, seductive women. We don't need to be a Witch or supernatural to fight evil... Billie:: All we need is each other and ourselves to say that we can do it and that we can make it through it. I don't have any powers, I'm just related to this family. Just because the brothers have gifts doesn't mean we can't fight. Rachel: ::She gets up:: Right! ...Let me just get Isaac and Adam to a babysitter...somewhere, and we'll be off! Billie:: Babysitter? Just go in the book and summon one. Dress hot too...we're going hunting. Rachel: Hah, summon one, ::She picks up the phone and dials a number and holds it up to her ear:: Hey Ethan, I'm summoning you over here, we have a crisis, can you watch the kids? Great...see you soon ::She presses the Off button and puts it down:: I think you stole all of my "dress hot" clothes... ::She walks upstairs:: Billie:: I'm sure we can fix something up that'll show enough cleavage and have your booty popping. ::She smiles and walks upstairs:: Price:: He walks over to Pierce and hands him a cup of Starbucks coffee and places down a box of Krispy-Kreme Donoughts:: He sits down next to his brother:: It was so very much fun. Pierce: ::He takes it--looking up, the worry imprinted on his face:: Glad you're having fun, they're still trying to figure out what the problem is; right now they are sedating him and making sure he doesn't get any worse. Price:: Well one of the Demon guys said that there isn't a cure. I took his friend's claw and I guess we could try and do something about it. Pierce: Hmmm...I'm sure we can mimic what we have of other potions to make an anecdote. Price:: Can't we just go back in time and instead of saving a poor, helpless innocent...we just let him or her--die? Pierce: ...I guess you didn't see...but the Demon killed her. We couldn't save her in time--and we were meant to. That's what we do. Price:: Alright, well we have the claw thing, what more do we need? Pierce: If you want...perhaps we can go back in time and kill the Demon before Pace has gets scratched...maybe we can even stop the Demon from killing the innocent. Price:: Good plan and all...but lets trash that one, we don't know what we might've changed. I guess I could go to the Magic School and work on the potion. ::He picks up his Starbucks Coffee and takes a sip and places it down:: Pierce: Good luck then...I think one of the doctors might not be telling me something, I'm going to find out what it is. Price:: Only use magic if you need to, remember that. ::He gets up and walks out of the waiting room:: Pierce: Right... ::He walks up to the front desk of the E. R. :: Excuse me, Miss? :: The lights flash in the dark room as people dance to the rock music that is being played:: Everyone going crazy:: High in their own way or intoxication:: Billie and Rachel are seen dancing besides each other:: Billie:: She throws her hair back and runs her fingers through her silky dark brown hair:: She moves her body to the music that is playing:: She moves her hips and holds her hair up:: She puckers her lips as she gets lost in the music:: Rachel: ::She stops dancing, staring at Billie:: You're obviously more in this than I am, what happened to fighting evil? Billie:: She opens her eyes and looks at Rachel and stops dancing:: Girl, we need to loosen up first. This is the best place to do it. Stress ain't good. I found several Demonic hot spots. We need to be loose and feel free in order to kick some Demon ass. Rachel: Okay, well I'm loose and free, lets go do it already. Billie:: She smiles and turns from Rachel and walks through the crowd to the bar:: Can I get two beers? Bartender:: He smiles at Billie:: Can I get your number? Billie:: Can you lick my balls? Bartender:: Gives Billie a weird look:: Billie:: Just give me my drinks and stop pulling my leg. Bartender:: Right... ::He turns around and pulls out two ice cold beers and places them in front of Billie:: Rachel: Hey... ::She finally makes her way up to the bar:: How did you get over here so fast? Billie:: She smiles and opens her beer and takes a sip:: Wow! Ice cold! That's the way I like it. ::She hands Rachel a beer:: When was the last time you been to a club? If you all weren't too retired to go to P3 sometime... Rachel: I met Pierce at a club, so that'd be...a while ago...like...years-wise. Billie:: Pierce, in a club? Yea right. ::She looks at her watch then around the club:: She places the beer top to her mouth and looks up quickly to the second floor:: She sees a man staring down at her:: She gets a weird feeling:: Billie:: She looks down to Rachel:: She takes a sip and blacks the beer down:: He's here... Rachel: Ask around, Pierce had a lot of wild streaks...Who's here? ::She takes a sip of the beer:: Billie:: Demon guy...he's on the second floor, balcony. He's looking right down at me, don't-- don't look up. I'm going upstairs. In a minute you come up. Bring the potion too. ::She turns around and walks to the stair case:: Billie:: She walks up the stair case and walks along the second floor:: She looks around only to see a few people which that are making out with each other:: She spots the guy and walks over to him:: She leans against the rail:: Billie:: So, what's a guy like you doing here all by yourself? My name's Billie. Jake:: Jake... Billie:: Jake, that's very...typical. Jake:: He looks at her:: Billie:: My first guess was John Doe! ::She laughs then stops when she realizes he isn't:: So, looking to kill? Rachel: ::She walks towards another staircase leading to the balcony and glances upwards at them, then back, making sure the potion is in her pocket:: Jake:: He slowly looks to Billie:: His eyes glow:: Yes... Billie:: Good, because I am too! ::She turns to face him as he turns to face her:: She kicks him in the gut:: Jake:: He stumbles back and forms an energy ball:: Billie:: Rachel, NOW! Jake:: He throws the energy ball at Billie:: Billie:: She jumps to the floor to the left as it misses her:: Rachel:: Hey! ::She screams as the man turns around:: She throws the potion:: Jake:: The potion flies up and hits him:: He looks at Billie then back at Rachel as he begins to melt:: Billie:: She stands up and dust herself off:: Okay, next time you need to be much quicker because I don't want to die. Rachel: Hey I was fine. Now that we've killed one Demon, who wasn't even related to helping us with Pace, are you satisfied? Billie:: Rachel, I said that we are going on a hunt. Now lets hunt. ::She turns and walks down the staircase and walks out of the club:: Rachel: Fine, you want to hunt? ::She follows and looks around at the street:: Lets hunt then. Billie:: Want to check out the cemetary? Rachel: I want to help find a cure for Pace, maybe we can juice something from there...I don't know why there would be Demons though, they get weakened around Cemeteries... Billie:: I know...but vampires waken in the cemeteries... ::She smiles and begins to walk in the direction of the cemetery:: Rachel: Lets go then... ::She follows:: Price:: He turns his head to look at a big opened book which rest besides the boiling small cauldron:: Elk Reeves? What the hell is an Elk Reeve? Price:: He looks up quickly to see the Oracle holding a glass jar:: What do you want now? Oracle:: I brought you your Elk Reeves, it's a powerful rare herb that helps heal uncurable diseases, wounds, etc. ::She places it next to the book and sits ontop of the counter:: This school is pretty nice. Price:: Thanks... :: He reaches for the jar and opens it:: He smells it and winces:: It smells like rotten feet. Oracle:: Duh-- that's the smell of an Elk Reeve. Price:: Oh-- ::He pours some of the little brownish green leaves in the pot:: So, why are you here? Oracle:: Well, you found something, that no other Demon or powerful Oracle like myself could find. You didn't share the goodies with your brother, so I'm guessing you're going to be greedy about the goods. Price:: Huh? What are you talking about? :: He reaches over and throws an Winagard finger nail into the pot:: Oracle:: Oh, ew-- I hate Winagard Demons, they kill so brutally but lovely at the same time. They smell like--like-- flowers. Price:: Oh that must be a nightmare for you. Oracle:: It is, such an nasty, disturbing oder. Price:: Right... ::He takes a wooden spoon and begins to mix:: Oracle:: Spill, the book! Price:: Oh, the Book. What about it? Oracle:: Did you even open it? Price:: I'll wait till my brothers are with me. Oracle:: What?! Why? Price:: Because its for all three of us. Oracle:: Where is it? Price:: Somewhere. Oracle:: Is it in a safe place? Price:: Why do you care so much? Oracle:: That book has spells and rituals to turn a Charmed One evil, especially if the Charmed Ones are male. Price:: Demons tried that and it never worked. Oracle:: But this book was written by the first male Halliwell ever. The book is old, medieval old. It holds spells to turn a Charmed One evil, how to vanquish one, how to steal their powers for good. Price:: And... Oracle:: It has the history of past Halliwell Witches and future ones to come. Price:: What do you mean? Oracle:: I'm saying that that book tells about your future. Your ultimate childrens' future and their childrens' future and so forth. Price:: Are you telling me not to open it? Oracle:: Just make sure it is safe. It isn't protected like the Book Of Shadows, this book can even turn the book against you, the whole Manor. Ressurrect any Demon you've vanquished. Price:: So, I'll destroy it. Oracle:: Do that and it'll destroy your future. Price:: Wait-- so the Luthrox Demons knew their fate? Oracle:: Yes-- and if a Charmed One touches the book, they'll slowly become evil. That book is filled with evil. Price:: What? Oracle:: Yea, terrible isn't it? You might want to place the Luthrox claw in their already and add some Columnary and Red Dust. Take care... ::She smiles and disappears in bright lights:: Price:: Holy shit-- I'm going to go bad? Pierce: ::He closes a door behind him and enters the hallway:: So the files won't help... ::He turns and walks into the restroom, the door closes behind him:: ::The door opens and closes, the camera follows down the hall, leading past a room filled with doctors; Pace unconscious on the bed:: ::The camera goes through the room and behind a particular doctor:: Pierce: ::Invisible, in the doctor's voice, softly:: You have to confess to his family what you are concealing... Doctor: ::He turns around, confused, and turns back to the chart in front of him:: I must be going crazy... Pierce: --Because...I know I can get fired for retaining this information from his family... Doctor: ::He looks around, still confused, he glances to his patient and looks back to the wall chart:: I need to stop drinking all that Iced tea... Pierce: --Because it's getting to my head... ::He takes a few steps back and moves his hand slowly to his left; the doctor walks to Pace's bedside:: Pierce: ::He walks with him:: Excuse me for a moment... ::He uses his telekinesis and the doctor moves closer; the other doctors leave the bedside:: Doctor: I've been taking way too many Iced teas before work... Pierce: ::He puts his hand on the Doctor's back, phasing almost and puts his other hand on Pace's chest; then looks back to the doctor:: This isn't good doctorate, if I don't tell his family about this I can get sued and lose my position-- Doctor: And at any respectable hospital... Pierce: Nationwide. And I'd have to go work in Canada... Doctor: Or Europe... Pierce: And besides, perhaps this patient's statistics can make me famous for discovering a new medical finding...better go tell the family... Doctor: ::He turns awkwardly and quickly walks to the hallway:: Better go tell the family... Pierce: ::He smiles and closes his eyes---opening them back in the bathroom; he looks around and becomes visible, then morphs back into himself, and walks to the hallway, meeting the doctor:: --Oh Doctor-- Doctor: Oh, Mr. Halliwell, I just found something new about your brother, Pace. Pierce: Really, you just did? Really... Doctor: Well, yes, yes I did. Come with me, ::He walks into the room and walks to Pace's bedside:: Pierce: ::He follows, instantly saddened by Pace's state again:: Doctor: That large scratch your brother came in with earlier mysteriously didn't exist later on, as if it had disappeared or healed without leaving any scar tissue, Pierce: And? Doctor: As your brother's condition seems to get worse, all we can do to counteract its infection is to give him safe dosages of medicine, but it seems he's only going to get worse, the medication isn't taking effect anymore. Pierce: So? Doctor: With your permission and that of your brother, I'd like to note this and anything in the Journal of American Medicine and the New England Journal of Medicine! Pierce: --Did you find anything else new? And why didn't you tell me before that the medicine wasn't taking effect? Doctor: Well...didn't...want to worry you? Pierce: Right... ::He turns slightly:: I went through all that for that crap? Doctor: What was that? Pierce: ::He turns back around:: Go somewhere else, your fired from this case, I'm getting someone else. Doctor: But-- Pierce: Go! ::The clipboard at the end of the bed shakes slightly:: Doctor: Right--::He turns and hurries away:: Pierce: Crappy ass doctor... ::He turns back to Pace, moving some hair out of his face:: Oh Pace... ::He holds his hand:: You're psychic, come on, say something to me... Pierce: ::He waits:: Come on, Power of Three? How about Power of Two? ...Come on Pace, say something... Pierce: Come on Pace! ::He turns, seeing the other doctors around the Ward looking at him:: Pierce: ::He turns hesitantly and moves closer to his brother, taking his hand again:: Please, Pace, please, I...I...I can't lose another brother, I just...can't... Pace:: I want a jelly doughnut and small coffee with two sugars and milk. ::He opens his eyes and looks at his brother:: Pierce: ::He flinches, instantly turning around, wiping the tears from his face, and looking back:: Pace? If you are connecting with me psychically I'm going to kick your ass later on... Pace:: Well my eyes are open and my lips are moving, aren't they? :: He tries to smile:: Pierce: Well yes, but you technically shouldn't be conscious...you're like...well, dying, Pace. And you're just talking as if you were fine. This might be in my head. Pace:: Oh...I guess I should close my eyes and pretend? Pierce: Pace... ::He smiles:: ...Look, we're trying to find a magickal cure for this thing you have... Can you do anything to help us out? Maybe use some Blue Phoenix in there? Pace:: Oh, yay. ::He slowly tries to sit himself up:: I don't know, I'm feeling pretty weak. Pierce: Okay, well...you get your rest, try not to slip into a coma, we may need the Power of Three at some point and I'd rather have you not in a huge hospital bed in the attic with us. Pace:: He closes his eyes and opens them slightly:: You can go home... Pierce: I don't know if I'll leave you just yet, I may be lurking around the hallways...but thanks Pace...I love ya, man ::He turns towards the door:: Pace:: I love you too, Pierce. Pace:: He closes his eyes and slowly goes to sleep:: Pierce: ::He sighs, not leaving but staying by his bedside:: :: A man runs through the cemetery at a fast pace:: He keeps running, he runs for his life:: He jumps over a tombstone and lands carefully and keeps running:: :: A woman is close behind him:: She keeps up with him and finally tackles him to the ground:: She rolls over and gets up to her feet quickly:: The camera slides up her body slowly to show her face--It's Billie:: Man:: Gets up quickly and vamps:: He growls and snarls at Billie:: Bitch! Billie:: Oh no you didn't! ::She turns around and kicks him to the ground:: She looks around to see where Rachel is:: Man:: He falls and low kicks Billie to the ground:: He flips up to his feet:: Billie:: She falls and gets up quickly:: She punches him twice then hits him with a right jab then left upper cut in the gut:: Man:: Stumbles back from the blows:: Slayer! Billie:: No, just a regular girl. Man:: How do you know how to fight? Billie:: Girls kick ass, says so on a t-shirt. ::She spins around and elbows him in the jaw with her right elbow then with her left elbows him in the gut:: She then spins around and punches him in the nose and kicks him in the chest hard:: Man:: Falls down and hits a tombstone:: Billie:: She jumps down on him and pulls out a pencil and drives it into his chest:: Billie:: She watches him explode into dust:: She gets up and dust herself up:: She looks around and walks quickly to the other side of the cemetery:: She sees Rachel sitting on a bench:: Thanks for the help. Rachel: It isn't safe at the Manor, I get warnings of my death, I'm going to kill Vampires that kill humans like they're twigs. I have a baby, I can't be doing what you're doing...the whole physical thing...I can't risk it, for Adam. Rachel: Plus, I think his younger brother is warning me or something...I can sense it. Billie:: Yea, you're just paranoid:: Come on, we killed four vamps in an hour. Lets go to the abandoned house on Christopher St. It's filled with Demons, it should be fun. Billie:: Lets go, we have four hours before dawn. Lots of places to crash and vanquish. ::She puts her hand out and helps Rachel up:: Rachel: Okay... ::She takes her hand and stands, gasping immediately:: Billie:: You alright? ::A gust of wind blows and the sky turns dark; suddenly they appear at the Manor attic, the lights are off, except for the circle of candles that surrounds Rachel and Billie:: Rachel: ::She stumbles; the wind disappearing:: Whoa-- Man: Great, you're here... ::He looks over, seeing Billie:: She's here again, wow... Rachel: Oh hey... ::She walks over to him, opposite the podium that holds the Book of Shadows:: What's up? Man: Okay the last time we met we only met briefly, but before that, when the Oracle was chasing you.....Death-Becomes-Her ::He looks to Billie:: Was with you the last time; well...a few times back, Piper was here with Adam and I Man: And we were waiting for Isaac. Rachel: I remember...all of those visions, yeah? Man: Well Isaac turned evil that time...we were all trying to...turn him good again, and we did... Billie:: Yo, Reese, what's up with all these now-in-the-moment vision things? Can't you tell us in advance? Billie:: We're kind of trying to hunt and you're ruining it all. Man: W-What? No, no, no...No I can't...and your hunt can wait. Rachel: So why did you bring us here? Billie:: Yea, why?! Man: Rachel, I forced this vision on you, I think one of you knows something, and I need to know it. Death-Becomes-Her here, wasn't supposed to come, but did, so maybe you know then, Billie Rachel: Maybe so, why did you bring us here? Man: ...My siblings...are...missing. Rachel: Isaac, Piper, and Adam are missing? Man: Well I'm not one of the Power of Three, so I'm not gone. The question I need to ask is... ::He breathes in:: Man: ...When Pace became sick-- Rachel: He is sick, we're trying to find a cure-- Man: Oh...damn it, guess you aren't pass that yet, it doesn't matter, Billie, maybe you'll know. In your time, a while ago, you told Rachel about the brother that never happened in your reality; Chris. How did you know about him? Rachel: She said he was in the Book of Shadows, but he wasn't... Man: Death-Becomes-Her here, I think, is like a radio for other times and realities, because they aren't alive now, she gets it all in her head. And I think she can tell me how to get my siblings back. Billie:: Say what? Billie:: I need a Martini with a cigarette, please. Man: Well you shouldn't even be intercepting Rachel's visions and yet you're here. Rachel: She's been with me when I've had the visions, it's not like she's in the other room. Billie:: Hello, duh? Man: Billie, can you tell me how you came to find my Dad and his brothers? I think I can use whatever you used to find my siblings. Billie:: Elements, Normuck, big bad and I'm here to stop it or whatever...can we go back to hunting? Man: The Elements? Rachel: Pace found her, but she was in the city in the first place because they told her to find the Brothers... Billie:: Yes, Reese-- Reese: ::He widens his eyes and mouths 'Stop that':: Billie:: ...the elements. Rachel: Oy... ::She looks around the attic:: Billie:: She makes a face and smiles:: Reese... Reese: ::He quickly raises his hand--lowering it quickly:: Rachel: ::She turns back:: Continuing on, can the Elements help him with finding Isaac, Piper, and Adam? Billie:: Let me call them on my cell phone and ask. ::She says with sarcasm:: Man: ::He looks to Rachel, then to Billie:: Please be serious... Billie:: I don't know. I've spoke to them once and that was several months ago in my dreams. Man: Well this is another future, you left the Charmed Ones after you fulfilled your destiny for that chapter of your life...can you try to call to them now, maybe? Rachel: Hey, can you help us find a cure for Pace maybe, if she does? Man: That'd be tampering with history, so no. Billie:: No cure, no elements. Man: I can't interrupt history, it'd screw everything up! Now, I think if you try to call them, Billie, you can ask them to give me a pointer to my siblings, come on. Man: ::He looks to the candles, seeing them begin to blow slightly:: I'm not sure how much longer I can keep you here without the help of those candles. Rachel: Billie, I think he's right... Man: Come on, no spells or anything are working; We were all just sitting around suddenly I was the only one. Rachel: Maybe you're out of sync with them, could that be it? Man: No, if you're here then so am I. Rachel: Maybe we just need to say the spell with you, forget asking The Elements, that'd be like asking God to do you a favor, it ain't happening. Rachel: ::She nudges him and turns the pages in the Book of Shadows:: Here, to find a Lost Witch-- Billie:: Reese, you whine like a bitch, grow up before I smack the sissy out of you...shoot. Rachel: Reese? That's your name? Billie:: Rachel's been a bit deaf lately. She has a lot of ear wax. Reese: Actually, I was using my power to sort of...deafen her each time you said it...Anyway-- Rachel: I'll yell at you next time about that...Look, lets do this already, ::She takes his hand and takes Billie's:: Lets just say the spell, I think our combined magic will break whatever barrier is keeping you away from your siblings. Rachel: Okay...::She points to the text:: Rachel, Billie, and Reese: Powers of the Witches rise, Course unseen across the skies Come to us who call you near, Come to us and settle here. Reese: ::Says the spell:: Billie: ::Says the spell:: Rachel: ::She looks forward, seeing lights appear in the circle of candles:: Reese: Whoa...it worked. Billie:: Ok, lets get back to the hunt. Rachel: Reese, I think since I'm a 'Selenté' and can watch over my family, that's why it all worked, plus Billie's here. Reese: Thanks...then...and...about Pace... Rachel: Yeah? Reese: Unc--Price, Price found a book, he'll be making a potion, that's it. Tell him that the first batch he makes will work, not to change it. Rachel: Right... ::She walks over and hugs him, then takes Billie's hand; immediately they disappear as the bodies appear in the circle and the candles blow out:: Rachel: ::She gasps; a gust of wind blows and they're back at the cemetery:: Billie:: Don't ever do that again. Rachel: Do what? ::She picks up her purse and takes out her cell phone, and dials Price's number:: Rachel: ::She picks up the telephone:: Price? Hey...you found a book or something, right? Rachel: -Yeah, we got new information, keep that book wherever it is, and you're making a potion? -Keep it as it is, don't change it, where are you? -Magic School? Manor, -Okay, well I have to go, good luck. ::She puts the phone away:: Lets go hunting. Billie:: Lets go. Pace:: He opens his eyes to see Pierce gone:: He sits up and looks around:: Pierce... ::He turns his body to get off the bed but is held back by the needles in his arms:: He pulls them out and stands up slowly:: Pace:: He walks out of the room slowly and turns and walks down the hallway:: I refuse to pee in a bowl, I will use the bathroom. ::He holds onto the wall for support and stops by a doctor's office:: Nurse:: This is the fifth time this has happened. They keep disappearing. What are we going to tell their families? Doctor:: Nothing, absolutely nothing. Nurse:: What is taking our patients? Doctor:: I don't know Charline and I don't want to know. Pace:: What? ::He turns and slowly walks back to his room:: Pace:: Walks into his room and sits on the edge of the hospital bed:: He looks around and looks at the door:: Even when I'm ill I have to still save innocents. Just great... ::He lays down on the bed and closes his eyes:: Pace:: He opens his eyes to look at the time:: 3:13 in the morning...come on Blue Phoenix, give me some energy. Just so that I could find out what's going on. Pace:: He sits up and walks out of the room:: He turns and walks down the hallway and into the file room:: He looks around and concentrates as a file falls onto the floor:: He walks slowly over to the file and picks it up:: Pace:: He opens it and looks through it:: Missing, missing, missing, missing. All of these patients missing without any clue to how they disappeared. This is the reason why I hate hospitals, they say you're going to get better but you end up dead or missing. Pace:: He turns the paper over and watches as the word MISSING appears underneath Keith Meadows' name:: Keith? Room 235? ::He places the folder back onto the shelf and turns and walks out of the room quickly:: Pace:: He walks down the hallway quickly and looks to the numbers on the doors:: He finds 235 and opens the door:: He watches as a black shadow figure hovers over Keith Meadows:: Get away from him! ::The shadow looks at Pace then back to Keith:: Keith:: He opens his eyes and opens his mouth to scream but nothing comes out:: ::The shadow figure drives his fist into Keith's stomach and they both vanish:: Pace:: No! ::He turns and walks out of the room quickly:: He holds onto his head and tries to run down the hallway to the elevator:: He presses the button to go down and then faints:: ::The elevator doors open:: Doctor:: Walks out of the elevator and notice's Pace on the floor unconscious:: He looks around the floor:: I NEED HELP! ::The camera zooms onto Pace's face:: Pace:: Opens his eyes slightly:: Wh-- where am I? Pace:: He looks around the room to find himself inside a biohazard bubble in the hospital room:: What the --? ::He watches as a man approaches him in a red biohazard body suit:: Oh great, it's the walking condom. Dr. Gionardo:: My name is Dr. Gionardo from the San Francisco V. O. C, Virus Organization Clinic. We are here to help. Pace:: Really? Me too, people are missing from this hospital. Dr. Gionardo:: Those are the drugs talking. We dosed you with a drug called V25. It should make you hallucinate. Pace:: V25? I'm about to make you hallucinate my foot going up your ass if you don't-- ::He tries to move his hand and notice that he's strapped down:: Oh, so what? I'm dangerous too? Dr. Gionardo:: You are contagious with a virus. Pace:: Yea? Then why didn't my brothers and the doctors get it? Dr. Gionardo:: We need to run some tests on you and your body. Pace:: No way you're touching my body...perv. Dr. Gionardo:: You need to relax, you are going to overwork yourself. Pace:: Over work this. ::He pulls his arms up and breaks the restraint's:: He leans over and unbuckles the restraint's around his ankles:: He gets up from the bed:: Dr. Gionardo:: Walks in front of Pace:: You cannot leave this room. Pace:: You have until the count of three to move out of my way or I'm going to use force. Dr. Gionardo:: Pace, there is no need for violence. Pace:: Yes there is, you hold me in this room, approach me in a condom suit, and people are vanishing without a trace in this hospital. I'm being nice, don't piss me off. Dr. Gionardo:: Your temperature has rose to over 100 degrees, you shouldn't even be motivated like this. Let alone the ability to stand... Pace:: Guess I have something in me that likes to keep me fresh. Dr. Gionardo:: Like that virus. Pace:: Alright, no more being nice. ::He punches the man in the nose:: The doctor flies into the wall and makes a dent:: I don't like rules... ::He quickly walks to the door and opens it:: Pace:: He looks to the left then to the right and quickly runs down the hallway:: He stops and looks at the door to the attic storage room:: He notices that its cracked:: He opens it and walks inside and closes the door behind him:: Pace:: He walks up the stairs quietly and looks around:: He sees another door and opens it:: He walks inside the large attic:: Hello? ::He feels as if he's about to faint and looks to his arm as the wound appears:: Great... Pace:: Just great, now I have this ugly wound on my arm and--I don't--Oh God, no-- ::He falls to the floor unconscious:: Pierce: And Rachel said what? ::He walks over to Price at the center table of the Magic School hall:: Price:: The first batch should work and that I should keep the book in it's place, blah blah woof woof. :: He looks at the liquid and throws in the last ingredient:: The liquid turns purple:: Aww, my favorite non-color. Pierce: And we're waiting on Pace to look at the book you found? Great...how long until you think it'll be ready to use on Pace? Price:: Pours the liquid into a glass jar and screws the top on:: About, right now. We just need him to drink the whole thing and he should be back to normal...you know it's killing me to not look at the book. Pierce: ::He takes the jar:: We'll look as soon as he gets better, for now, lets get back to the Manor and tell Rachel and Billie. Then destroy it. Price:: Are they even home? I heard that they were on a Demon-hunting mission. Pierce: Why would they be on a Demon-hunting mission? Price:: Some mumbo-jumbo about how they aren't enough female ass kickers. So they took the role of that today. They need to get out of their little fantasy world and come back to reality. Pierce: That makes me laugh, lets go...they are just looking for a distraction from Pace's sickness...women take it harder-- ::He disappears in lights:: Price:: Ha--ha--ha--no. ::He orbs away following Pierce:: Pierce: ::He appears in bright lights in the sitting room:: Billie? Rach? Ethan: ::He sits on the couch reading a magazine, the crib sitting nearby with Adam asleep in it:: They went Demon-hunting because they're "female ass kickers" as Billie put it. Pierce: Right...and you got stuck babysitting? Do you know where they are? Price:: Walks into the sitting room:: Isaac's worried about Pace still and thinks that his Aunt and cousin are going to Chucky Cheese to fight the big bad talking mouse. Ethan: Wow...and I don't know Pierce, go into the inner city and find two overdressed women in leather and I think they'll be easy to spot. Pierce: Well, actually, we don't have to. Price and I are going to cure Pace...I just wanted the girls to know. Ethan: I'll tell them when you get back. Pierce: Will do... ::He turns to Price:: Lets go, time isn't on our side. Price:: Time is never on our side. I hate time it can go--kiss my timeless ass or something. ::He frowns and orbs to the hospital:: Pierce: Wish us luck... ::He turns and disappears in lights:: Ethan: Luck... ::He turns to Adam and sees him staring back; then going back to sleep:: Price:: Walks to Pace's room with Pierce:: He looks inside to see a bunch of biohazard equipment:: Umm...where the hell is my brother?! Dr. Gionardo:: He punched me and ran off. If he gets anyone else infected with that virus then you two will be held responsible, along with Pace. Price:: Why did he punch you? What did you do to him? Dr. Gionardo:: The virus that he carries makes him act violent towards any being. He could be out killing people. Price:: He had to have a reason to use force against you. You either were holding him against his will or he knew something about you. People don't use force unless they have to...or if you piss one of us off big time. Pierce: Lets go find him. Price:: How? :: He throws his right hand at the doctor and freezes him without even looking:: He could be anywhere. Pierce: Well ::He closes his eyes and senses, then opens them again:: He isn't. He's still in the hospital. Price:: Lets go. ::He leaves the room as the doctor unfreezes:: Price:: He walks down the hallway and looks to Pierce:: Getting anything? Pierce: ::He walks to the elevator, then turns to the other end of the hallway, then walks back:: Well...no...something's off.... Price:: What? What's off? We need to find Pace before he goes physco-crazed. Pierce: ::He looks around, then closes his eyes; a faint glow appears around him and then disappears:: I think his powers did something, because I can't focus in on him...I normally can...it's like he's everywhere but not. Price:: Ok, no you need to focus in on him. Focus and try to teleport wherever he is, maybe he's somewhere that covers the hospital? That could be the reason why he's everywhere but not? Make sense? Pierce: Right... ::He brings his hands together and focuses, instantly disappearing in a yellow-white-then transparent light:: Pierce: ::He reappears in light, looking upwards; breathing hard as the lights disappeared around him:: I can't get a grip on him. Price:: Then lets get in there. :: He orbs into the hospital's attic:: ::Orbs appear a few feet away from Pace:: The orbs vanish as Price appears:: Pierce: ::He appears too; a few feet away:: ::A black shadow appears over Pace:: Price:: What the-- ::He runs towards Pace but is thrown back:: He slides against the wooden floor then stops:: He gets up quickly and runs besides Pierce:: What's happening? ::The black shadow suddenly disappears:: Pierce: I don't know... ::He looks over and runs to Pace:: Pace:: He opens his eyes quickly and sits up:: He looks around:: Where am I? Price:: He quickly walks to Pace and helps him up:: In the hospital, you ok? What happened? Pace:: I'm fine. ::He looks to Price then to Pierce:: You aren't going to take me away. Pierce: Why would we take you away? ::He kneels down and looks over:: We have a potion that will cure you, ::He gestures and a jar appears beside them:: Pace:: It's poison! You're all poison! ::He throws his hands out and a strong force throws his brothers away from him:: Price:: Flies across the room and hits a wooden beam:: He falls to the floor hard:: Ugh! Pierce: ::He flies back and stops mid-air; quickly throwing his arm forward as the potion stops gently on the floor:: Pierce: ::He falls to the floor hard:: Ach! Pace:: He takes a couple of steps back so he could get a good view of Pierce and Price:: You will pay for what you did to them. Pierce: ::He pushes himself up:: Did to who? What are you talking about Pace? Price:: He looks up to Pace:: Who are you and where is Pace?! ::He screams in anger and the attic window shatters:: Price:: He gets up quickly and glares at Pace:: Pace:: Why are you trying to kill me? Why are you trying to kill them?! Price:: He looks quickly to Pierce then back to Pace:: Pierce: ::He stands up, thinking:: We aren't trying to kill you, we love you. And we don't kill innocents, we don't kill people. We...can you help you find the killers though. Pace:: No, no...you're trying to brain wash me. I know all of your dirty little secrets. Snip - snip and tisk - tisk. Time for you both to go to hell! ::He throws his hands out as blue flames shoot from his palms and to his brothers:: Price:: He puts his hand up quickly and deflects it from hitting him and Pierce:: Pace:: He puts his hands down:: Why are you doing this to me? Price:: He places his hands by his side:: We are trying to help you, Pace. We're your brothers. Pace:: No, my brothers died in a car accident. Price:: Oh, geez, thanks. Pierce: ::He shakes his head as he comes out of phase; walking over to Pace...studying him:: What's your name? Pace:: He takes a couple of steps back from Pierce:: Ronald McGee. Pace:: He shakes his head:: No, it's Clair Mashalls. Pace:: He quickly places his hands to his head:: Get out of my head! ::He looks down to the floor and shakes his head:: He quickly looks up:: Pierce, Price, help me! Pierce: Price, try to freeze him; try to steal Pace's psychokinetic and psychic powers from him. Price:: The black shadow thing! We need to remove it from Pace. --And What? What for? Pierce: The black shadow thing must have been souls that were lost her but still stayed around; and when Pace came they centered to him. So now he's possessed because he's basically channelling the spirits and probably the evil too. If we take away his channeling, they go too. Price:: Oh, I hope this works. ::He walks towards Pace:: Pace:: Stop! ::He throws his hand out and a white beam shoots out towards Price:: Price:: Throws his hands freezing it and orbs away:: Pace:: He watches as the beam freezes and Price disappears in orbs:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand out and Pace stands still suddenly:: We won't let you...any of you...take our brother away. I already lost a brother, I can't lose another. Price:: Orbs behind Pace and grabs his head:: His hands glow a bright yellow around Pace's head:: Pace:: Falls to the floor, on his knees, then onto the floor tiles; looking up to Pierce:: Uh... Pierce: Well? Price:: He gasp for air as he levitates up:: ::Blue fire emerges from Pace's body as it covers him:: Pierce: Good enough... ::He takes a few steps back:: Pace:: He looks to the floor then up at Pierce:: His eyes now white:: No one shall harm Pace! ::He screeches as blue large bright wings erupt from his back:: Price:: He opens his mouth wide as black shadows fly out from his mouth and hover in the air:: Price falls to the floor quickly and hits his head on a corner of a desk:: Pace:: He stands up and looks to the black shadows:: Be free spirits, find your home, I shall kill the Demon that harmed all of you... ::The black shadows turn white and vanish:: Pierce: Price! ::He runs over to him, now seeing the blood from his head:: Oh God... ::He looks over to Pace:: I need you now, Pace! I need you to listen to me, as my brother, if we don't take care of Price he'll die! Pace:: He slowly turns to Pierce:: If he dies, will you be saddened by your lost? Will you be saddened by the loss of your two only brothers? Pierce: Yes I'll be saddened...and if he dies...I'll lose Pace too. Pace:: You are a weak mortal. All powerful Charmed Ones, sickens me. Pace is the only Witch strong enough to maintain my power. Any other will crumble to the earths once rich soil. Pierce: Weak mortal? ::He sets Price down gently and stands up:: You must not know what this family has gone through; what I have gone through...hmph, calling me weak. ::He bends back down and touches Price; his hand glowing as he sends him away in lights; then stands back up:: And besides, if Pace doesn't drink that potion, he'll die. Pierce: ::He takes a few steps forward:: So let me speak to my brother; let me have him back. Pace:: You are lucky this time, that this-- this chamber I live in wishes for me not to harm you. For once a mere human stood to me and I ripped his organs out one by one. Pierce: Yeah, well I get dangerous when my family gets harmed. rPace:: I am immune by your powers little one. I am eons before your time. I walked this earth when there was only one dimension, one world. Now it's divided into a dozen. Demons, Witches, warlocks, and other low beings worshipped me and my kind. Even the Elders and the Source of all Evil. Pierce: Get out of my brother. Pace:: I will never leave this body, I rest until my strength is fully regained. When I can control this body to full extent. When my powers have become stronger then any on this realm. You won't survive one second against me. Pace:: He leans in closer to Pierce:: Until then... ::He kisses Pierce on the lips of the kiss of death and faints:: The blue flames and wings vanishing:: Pierce: ::He grabs Pace quickly and holds him up:: Pace! ::He settles down on the floor:: Pace! ::He taps his cheek gently:: Pierce: ::He looks over to the potion and gestures as the jar slides over to them:: Oh Pace... ::He opens the jar and shakes him gently:: Pace...swallow this... Rachel: ::She hurries into the sitting room with a bowl of warm water and a washcloth:: If you hadn't gotten Pace here in time...it was hard enough getting Price healed... Price:: Walks into the sitting room and looks to Pierce and Rachel:: He holds his head:: How's he doing? Billie:: Sits on the arm of the loveseat and looks to Price then back to Pace:: So, this thing inside him took control? Pierce: ::He sits staring at Pace:: Well technically he'll be better, he's just very fatigued... ::He looks to Billie:: Yes...and I don't like it at all...before...I thought it was good...but it isn't. It's not a good creature... Price:: Sorry I missed it's speech of doom and destruction but what did it say? Pierce: It called me a weak mortal, that Pace is the only one strong enough to hold it...that I was lucky because it used to be able to kill humans that stood up to it...that it's eons before our time...it was around the first...it won't leave Pace's body until it's strong again, stuff like that. Price:: Same yadda, yadda, yadda, but sounds scary. Billie:: Shit, hell yea it does. I would've pissed my thong. Rachel: ::She glances over, as she takes the washcloth off his forehead and lets it lay against the bowl:: Right... Price:: Looks to Billie and gives her a disgusted look then back to Pierce:: We can't exactly get it out of him, he'll die. Pierce: I know. I think Pace will have to figure it out. That's all I can say... Pace:: He opens his eyes:: Why the long faces? ::He sits up slowly and looks to Pierce:: You were brave. I give you props, bro. ::He smiles at Pierce:: Pierce: You were in there? Pace:: It can take over my body but I'm in there somewhere. I felt like I was in a desert, all alone. Nothing around except sand and the sun. It heard me and it listens, I'm like it's temple. If I die, it dies also. Price:: So how do we kill it without killing you? Pace:: He looks to Price:: I don't know, I have no idea. I don't want to be the reason the world ends. Billie:: She looks to Pace:: So, Pace has a creature that wants to destroy the world. Hey, I know this girl that's a key to destroying the world. Price:: Looks to Billie:: Go check on Isaac please. Billie:: What? I was just trying to help. ::She gets up from sitting down and walks to the staircase:: You know, you guys really need to rest, it's almost dawn. :: She turns and walks up the stairs:: Rachel: Oh that's right...I'm going to go to bed, Adam's been sleeping for a while now; I thanked Ethan for babysitting, and don't forget to call him Pierce... Pierce: I will, Goodnight baby... ::He leans back in the chair:: Rachel: ::She walks over and kisses him on the lips then turns and walks up the stairs:: Pace:: So, about this book. Pierce: Ah yes, about the infamous book... Price:: Right, the book. ::He leans over and picks it up:: It's called 'The Charmed Ones.' It has spells, rituals, and potions to vanquish us. It tells of our family history and the future. Price:: Basically it's a book against us. The first male ever in our family, which I thought didn't even exist. Wrote the book because he was sentenced to death by his own mother to keep this line of good only. Pace:: Because a male Halliwell equals evil and destruction. Kinda like us. Price:: Except we're hot and sexy. Pace:: Oh, yea. Full of hottness and sexiness. Pierce:: Men and women stop to admire our good looks. Most of them...for me. Pace:: So, what's in this book? Did you open it? Price:: No, I mis-understood, I thought that if you touch the book you become evil. But if you open the book you get lost into the world of darkness. Pace:: So, we can't even look inside? Price:: No, unless we want to become evil. Pierce: Rachel may be able to... Price:: Well it didn't say anything about a mortal looking into it. Pierce: Exactly, she'd be immune to it, most likely. Pierce: Plus, since she's a 'Selenté' and since she had trouble touching the Book of Shadows she probably can touch this one just fine. Pace:: He yawns:: I'm so tired, I think I'm just going to lay here. ::He lays down on the couch and closes his eyes:: Pierce: Good idea...good...morning guys ::He stands up and walks to the stairway and walks up the stairs:: Price:: Ok, you just do that in the middle of an important conversation? :: He says with sarcasm:: Price:: He gets up and follows Pierce:: I don't think I'm going to work tomorrow, not like I go or anything. Maybe I'll check on P3... Pierce: Bye Price ::He turns and slowly opens his door, takes off his shirt, and closes the door behind him:: Dr. Morgan:: He sits at his desk and looks to the files of Pace's:: He places his hand to his forehead:: Dr. Morgan:: He places his hand down and the files:: He takes hold of his coffee and takes a sip then places it back down:: ::A bright blue light appears in the doctors office:: Dr. Morgan:: He looks up to the blinding light and sees a creature's face:: What are you? Creature:: God... :: Dr. Morgan's body rips apart:: His blood covers the whole office:: Suddenly Pace's files vanish:: :: The door to the office opens and the light vanishes:: Nurse:: She walks in:: Dr. Morgan-- ::She looks inside the office and screams in terror:: |
