Price:: He flies through the air and lands in a red sandbox:: He shuts his eyes tightly from the impact of the fall:: He opens his eyes and sits up quickly:: He sneezes from the sand and brushes himself off and gets up quickly:: Don't touch him! Pace:: Flies into a tree and falls down quickly onto the ground:: Oops... :: He gets up slowly and looks to the blue fish-like Demon:: So we can't touch him, look him in the eyes, potions don't work, spells don't work... Pace:: Oh! Did I mention our powers don't work against him?! Pierce: ::He crawls out from a mess of bushes:: Well the weather would... ::He looks up to the sky and the clouds darken and the wind blows harshly as lighting strikes in the sky:: ::A bolt of lighting strikes down from the sky and towards the Demon but it deflects away from the Demon and flies off back into the clouds:: Pace:: What do you plan on doing? Price:: I think he's going to give it a shower... Pierce: Trying to electrocute him...WHAT DEMON IS IMMUNE TO LIGHTNING? ::He closes his eyes and focuses; another bolt bolting down:: Pace:: I got a plan! :: He runs towards the Demon and lunges towards the Demon:: Pierce: Wait!-- Pierce: Geez Pace! Demon:: He grabs Pace by the throat:: ::The bolt strikes--:: Pace:: Ugh!!:: He shakes violently as he gets electrocuted:: He makes a fist and rams his fist into the Demon's chest and pulls out his ribcage:: Demon:: His green eyes widen as he lets go of Pace:: Pace:: Falls to the ground with a thud:: Demon:: He screeches and falls to the ground and quickly turns into water:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand out and a surge of electricity hits the Demon as he evaporates:: Now...he can't come back. Pace:: He shakes himself and stands up:: He looks to his brothers and holds the ribcage up:: Anyone up for ribs? Pierce: Ew... ::He spits out some leaves:: What about not touching him? Pace:: He throws the ribs to the side and shrugs his shoulders:: I like the charge... Normuck:: He sits in his throne and looks to a Demon stands in front of him:: And what are your plans? Yino:: To attack them the best way... Normuck:: And what best way is that? Yino:: Isaac, Rachel, The Blue Phoenix... Normuck:: You're going to use them to get to the Book? Yino:: Exactly...and to the girl... Normuck:: I love it...lets see what you've got. Yino:: He grins:: Rachel: Well I think you two should definitely fix this place up again...again. ::She wipes off Adam's face with a bib:: But geez Pace, why is Price meddling in this again? Pace:: I don't know, I guess he feels that a real business dude should help...and that's him. :: He turns and continues to wipe the counter down:: Rachel: ::She nods slowly and picks Adam up and walks to the counter, swiping her finger across it, getting a layer of dust:: So this is one of the top clubs in San Fran. and now its coming back, that's quite a legacy... Pace:: Yea, that's if we could bring it back like how it was. Right this time. The thing is...I don't want it like it used to be, I want it to be hotter and more fresh and new. Rachel: Well...more than 20 years or so have passed since its demise, so I don't think it'd be too hard to reopen as something "fresh and new." We'll just forget that brief stunt earlier. Pace:: He sprays more "CLEAN 'n' SHINE" on the counter and continues to wipe:: I want to do it right, without any gimmicks or crap. /It's weird how it stayed the same for such a long time and...I have no idea who paid the clubs bill when we were little. Unless it was Grandpa Victor... Rachel: Well its here now...so that's good... ::She looks down to Pace:: I need to talk to you...about something, Pace. Pace:: He throws the towel out and looks over to Rachel:: Yea? Rachel: ::She looks to Adam and sets him in the stroller:: I'm worried about staying at home, I want your advice on the matter. Pace:: He squints his eyes and looks to Adam then to Rachel:: If you feel uncomfortable, go with your instinct Rachel. Go with what your heart and mind is telling you. As a Charmed One we have to go with our gut feeling. Pace:: If a Demon comes in and I feel the need to run, I won't stay--I'll be gone. Only because my gut is telling me to, my instincts are telling me to. Rachel: ...And what about Pierce? ::She sits down at a stool:: Pace:: Talk to him...it's not like he's going to listen. Rachel: He wants us all to be safe...and he doesn't want to separate from you two again...but I think he's going to have to deal with it all... Pace:: Are you trying to say that you want to take Pierce away from us? Rachel: I'm saying I'm going to be leaving with Adam and he's either coming or he's not. I can either live to be a year older or I can stay where I am and die, leaving my only son motherless. Pace:: You know you can't take Adam...right? Rachel: Look, I'll come back after this Normuck thing is over... Pace:: No you won't... Rachel: Yes I will...what do you know. Pace:: I'm telepathic Rach. Rachel: And I'm a protective mother what do you expect me to do! Pace:: Adam has his own protection...you're just smothering him. Rachel: ::She sighs and brushes her hair back and walks to Adam and picks him up:: Smothering him? I'm his mother...he needs me in his life. And I have no guarantee if I leave he'll stay safe. Pace:: What are you talking about? I wasn't even raised with a mother nor father. Same with Pierce, Prin, and Price. Rachel: And do you know what you have to show for it? Nothing positive besides being cocky and stubborn. Pace:: Along with saving hundreds and hundreds of people every year. Even you Rach, how many times have I saved your ass? This is how you repay me? Making me feel low? Rachel: You tried to kill me once. And I'm just speaking my mind Pace. Pace:: Maybe because I was possessed?! And speaking your mind isn't how I would put it. Pace:: Maybe it hasn't sunk into your head yet Rach, but the women in this family don't exactly live to see their children grow up... Pace:: And since my brothers and I are taking on the mother and father role, I don't expect us to live to see our children grow up. Price already knows he's not going to live past Isaac's 12th birthday and he's dealing with it. Pace:: So you need to deal with it and while you're at it, get out. Rachel: ::She places Adam in the stroller and pushes it along:: I'll see you at home. ::She goes to the elevator and opens the door, letting it close behind her:: Pace:: He watches Rachel leave and throws an energy ball at the wall making a hole in it:: Ugh! :: He looks to the hole and waves his hand towards it as the wall repairs:: Pace:: He grabs his keys and walks towards the stairs and walks upstairs:: Yino:: He walks out from the back room and smiles:: Let the spell begin... Price:: He slides against the floor in the sun room and hits the wall:: Pierce! Pierce: ::He runs down the stairs quickly:: Price:: He throws his hands blowing up the male Demon as another appears:: He gets up quickly:: Demon:: He looks to Pierce and throws an fireball at him:: Price:: He keeps cloning himself! Pierce: ::He throws his hand out and the fireball flies back and blows the Demon up:: Oh... Freeze time then ::He runs over to him:: ::Another Demon appears:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand forward and the Demon flies into a wall, falling down:: Price:: He throws his hands as time slows down:: Oh...my powers been in the whack... :: The Demon blows up as time returns to normal:: Price:: Huh? :: He waits for another to appear:: :: Orbs appear besides where the Demon blew up:: Oracle:: She appears and smiles to the brothers:: Hi there brothers... Pierce: "Hi there Oracle who has no name" Oracle:: You guys don't know my name? Price:: He nods:: Nope, not like we would ask. Pierce: We've met other Oracles, none of them have ever given us a name. Oracle:: It's Enrica... Price:: Ah--Enrica...that's uh--normal. Pierce: ...From where? Enrica:: Earth... Pierce: Right...so how did you make that Demon stop attacking..."Enrica?" Enrica:: Oracles and Seers are born on earth, once their powers come to they choose either the red pill or the blue pill and the Demon stopped because of moi. Pierce: Oh...well Good... ::He looks to his watch and turns to Price:: Have you seen Rachel yet? She's suppose to be home by now. ::The front door opens and closes; the sound of a squeaky stroller is heard:: Pierce: Now why couldn't you tell me she's right there? ::He looks to Enrica and then walks to the sitting room:: Hey Rachel, I'm glad you're home. Rachel: ...Why? Did I do something? ::She picks Adam up and hands him to Pierce:: I think he needs a diaper change... Enrica:: Fine just forget about me...Rachel is going to die, there's going to be a BIG party in the Underworld, hope you guys come...much love. :: She smiles at Price and disappears in orbs:: Rachel: ...I'm going to take a bath... ::She quickly turns and walks upstairs:: Pierce: --Rachel wait! ::The bathroom door slams:: Price:: He walks over to Pierce and talks to Adam in baby talk:: Pierce: ::He turns back to Adam and lifts him higher:: Eww you do need a diaper change...do you wanna change him, Price? Price:: And your mommy's scared because she thinks she's going to die but she really isn't! Price:: He looks to Pierce:: You don't really have to do anything...use your telekinesis. Pierce: ... ::He takes Adam and walks to the kitchen:: Not happening...come on ::He walks to the island and sets Adam down and takes out a diaper bag from inside a cabinet:: What did "Enrica" just say by the way? Price:: He stands besides the island and smiles to Adam then looks to Pierce:: Oh, big party and she wants us to come. Pierce: Fun party or Demonic-lets-kill-people party? ::He takes out a diaper and all the products and begins to take off Adam's diaper as he giggles:: ::The sound of the bathtub upstairs is heard:: Price:: For them it's party time but for us it's Charmed Ones-lets-kill-Demons party. Pierce: ::He takes a large ziploc bag, places the old diaper in it, and zips it up, throwing it in the trash; then takes some baby wipes and wipes Adam's hiney, then takes out the baby powder; sprinkles it, and puts a new diaper on:: Price:: Who places a diaper in a ziploc bag? Pierce: Hey, trash day was yesterday and I don't feel like taking it out to the cans for a while, so the extra-strength, extra-large ziploc will keep it not smelly. Besides, Ziploc is like...100 years old or something... Price:: Really? They've been using ziploc bags since the 30's? Pierce: I guess not but whatever, leave me alone... ::He finishes the diaper and picks Adam up who is still giggling and holds him in his arms; bringing him up and down as he laughs:: Price:: Whatever. Billie:: She walks into the kitchen through the back door and slams her bookbag by the sink:: I HATE THIS! Pierce: ...Jesse can see you from the front door can't he? ::He holds back his laughter:: Billie:: She glares at Pierce:: No... Billie:: She looks to Price:: I didn't make the squad... Price:: What squad? Billie:: Hello, cheerleader? I didn't make the squad. I don't think I'm suppose to be happy...I think I'm just suppose to be the toy of the big bad and suffer from not making the squad. Price:: He laughs:: Yea right...Billie you're beautiful you probably didn't make it maybe because you punched the captain of the squad in the nose? Billie:: Hey, she called for it. Plus, you shouldn't hold grudges, it's not nice. Pierce: ::He laughs:: I'm gonna take Adam upstairs. ::He turns and leaves the kitchen:: Rachel: ::She leans back underneath the water and sinks downwards, underneath the suds:: ::Something creaks in the bathroom:: Rachel: ::She lifts herself up and opens her eyes--then sinks under the water and closes her eyes; dismissing the sound:: ::Something creaks once more:: Rachel: ::She pushes herself upwards; opening her eyes once more:: ::A force of air pushes her back down:: Rachel: ::She struggles; not being able to see what is against her:: ::The force intenses and gains more energy; pushing her back underneath the water:: Rachel: ::She tries to scream but chokes and throws her arms and legs around, splashing and struggling:: ::The force intenses and the water explodes as the force wraps around her; not allowing her to move:: Rachel: ::She tries to breath but can't and suddenly closes her eyes; a white light glows from her chest and she stops struggling; all of the water falls back into the tub:: ::The door flies open:: ::Rachel lays silent; the white light hovering above her:: Pierce: ::He runs in; seeing and sensing a force in the bathtub and senses its disappearance; he looks over, seeing Rachel:: RACHEL! Pierce: ::He runs to her body; and lifts her out of the bathtub; carrying her and setting her on the floor:: Oh God--no...no--no-- ::The white light returns to her body--unseen to Pierce:: Pierce: Rachel--come on Rachel--come on! ::He presses against her chest, then breathes into her mouth; and repeats and repeats:: Rachel: ::She doesn't respond:: Pierce: ::He looks back to her; then turns abruptly; feeling something in the room; he holds onto her and concentrates; a flash of light originating from him; shaking the walls; and the force inside the bathroom vanishes:: Rachel: ::She gasps for air and coughs; sitting up:: Pierce: ::He holds onto her, smiling as she coughs and looks to him:: Rachel: Pierce! ... ::She coughs again, holding onto him:: Pierce: ::He hugs her and holds onto her; as her bathrobe floats down to cover her body:: Pace:: He walks into the bathroom quickly and looks to Pierce and Rachel:: What just happened? Pierce: ::He looks over to Pace and hugs Rachel again:: Rachel: ...I almost drowned...we really need to kill Normuck already... Billie:: So what am I looking for again? Price:: A book... Billie:: And this book is for what again? Price:: Your summer reading... Billie:: Wait... :: She stops and turns Price around to face her:: What summer reading? Dude I'm 17, not 7. I don't do summer reading anymore. I party, drink, and go out on dates. Price:: It's not for school...it's for us. And it isn't even summer. :: He smiles and continues to walk:: Billie:: She follows him:: What do you mean? Price:: I'm looking for a certain book, a book that could tell you about the history of the past. Billie:: But it could just be made up. Price:: Not the book I'm looking for. The book I'm looking for is hidden somewhere around here. When I find the book, we're going to be attacked probably... Billie:: Wh-WHAT?! :: Her voice echos throughout the library as everybody glares at her:: Billie:: She looks at everyone:: Sorry...get back to your boring lives... :: She smiles and quickly follows Price:: What do you mean attacked? Price:: The book is sacred by beings called Voctus. They are sort of good and bad. They protect the book and if anyone touches the book, they are to kill whoever touched it. But you're with me and I'll take care of it. Billie:: She watches Price walk down an aisle:: Yea, you'll take care of it...when we're what? Torn into pieces? :: She walks down the aisle:: Price:: It should be around here somewhere but I don't know--:: He looks at the basement door and smiles:: He opens the door and walks downstairs:: Billie:: Oh hell no, I ain't walking into a pitch black area that I don't know anything about. It's bad enough I have to go into your basement. Billie:: She shrugs her shoulders and follows Price:: She walks down the stairs and turns quickly as the door shuts by itself:: She quickly walks down and goes towards Price:: Price:: He smiles as he sees a book in a glass case:: He walks over towards the book and stops himself:: He looks through the air and puts his hand out for Billie to stop walking:: Billie:: What? What is it? Price:: Alarm...stay here... :: He orbs away and reappears by the book:: He looks over to a switch and flicks it off:: The red lines in front of Billie glitter and turn off:: No more alarm. Billie:: Sweet... Price:: He flicks his hand as the glass shatters and flicks his other hand as freezes it simultaneously:: He takes the book and quickly walks over to Billie:: Ok...lets get out of here. Price:: He walks towards the staircase with Billie as four Voctus appear behind them--white skeleton-like-animal creatures:: Billie:: She turns to look at them:: Oh shit... Price:: What? He turns to look at them:: Aw shit...I knew it wasn't this easy. Price:: He places the book down and turns quickly as he sends an iceball at one of the Voctus:: :: One of the Voctus gets hit and turns to ice:: Price:: He throws his hands and blows the iced Voctus into pieces:: Billie:: Oh, they look mad now. Voctus':: They growl at Billie and Price:: Billie:: Ooh, I think you killed their baby. Price:: Stop talking as if they're animals! Billie:: They have sharp claws and seem to growl like an animal so they're an animal in my eyes. If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck then it's a duck. :: One of the Voctus uses its telekenisis and sends Price flying:: Price:: He flies into the back of the basement and hits the wall:: He falls down hard:: Price:: Ugh! :: He looks up slowly at Billie and watches them surround her:: No...In this light and in this time let her powers come out to fight. Billie:: She glows and looks to one of the Voctus as her eyes turn white:: Burn... :: The Voctus goes on fire and turns to ashes:: Billie:: She looks to the other two:: She grins and squints as they both fly backwards into a large chest:: :: They fly backwards as they quickly catch on fire and turn to ashes:: Billie:: She walks over and picks the book up:: She looks to Price as her eyes turn normal:: Lets go... Price:: He smiles and gets up and walks over to Billie:: Pace:: He walks into the house holding two very large bags:: He walks straight into the kitchen where he meets Pierce and places the bags down:: Pierce: Hey, what are those for? ::He takes one and looks inside:: Pace:: I just updated on the supplies that we need incase of emergencies...you know bandages, alcohol, peroxide, etc. Price:: He walks into the kitchen through the back door with Billie:: He places the book down on the counter and looks over to his brothers:: Billie:: Hey there kids, Price tried to get me killed. Pierce: Rachel almost drowned. Anyone else? Billie:: Wow, is she alright? Pierce: Yes...I...brightened up the situation. She's resting upstairs...so is Adam. Pace:: Okay don't even acknowledge that I helped out. Pierce: ...You didn't help at all Pace. You just ran in, that's all. Pierce: ::He takes out the supplies from the bags and places them in the medicine cabinet:: Pace:: So...running in and witnessing the whole ordeal is helping. Pierce: ::He smiles and places the last item from the bag in the cabinet and takes the other bag, putting away the other items:: It was odd though...she said she was just enjoying the bath and something forced her down and she fought, and I heard so I busted in, and I could feel the...thing disappear so I ran over and helped her and then I felt it come back because CPR wasn't working so I just focused on helping her...and my electricity illuminated everywhere and she got better. Rachel thinks it was Normuck's doing. Billie:: Normuck after the Rach? I thought he was after me? Price:: Well he could get to us by getting to Rachel. Pace:: I don't think so...this is all about Billie, something else is after Rachel. Normuck is more focused on getting Billie and not Rachel. Unless he wants us to get distracted and leave Billie all alone and vulnerable. Billie:: Good point Pace. Price got a book so that it could help me...do something... ::Rachel enters the room through the doorway and walks towards them:: Pierce: Rachel, you need to rest. Rachel: Pace, I think the only thing after me is fate. And I think Normuck probably wouldn't mind killing two birds with one stone; kill me on the way to getting to Billie. Pierce: Look, whatever is distracting us or attacking us, we need to build our defenses. Pace:: Exactly what Pierce said, and I doubt that Normuck is after you...maybe you just faked it because you need some attention. Guess what Rach, this isn't all about you. Rachel: Wa-- Billie:: --Yo Pace, I doubt Rach would fake her own death scene. Plus, something is after her and something is after me. I heard what's going to happen to her, so just hop off her jock. Rachel: ...What Billie said. Pace:: He looks to Billie then to Rachel and raises an eyebrow:: I didn't know you had a jock. Pierce: Look, this is just another thing that is after us, and we will overcome it all as we always do. Rachel won't die because we won't let anything happen to her; and Billie won't die because she's strong and we can win this thing. Pace:: If Rachel keeps acting like the bitch on campus I might just not help out. :: He grins and walks out of the kitchen:: Rachel: ::She sighs, looking to everyone in the kitchen:: Pierce: No one blames you, Rach. Rachel: ::She stands up and looks around the room, as if to try and remember what it looks like and quickly walks out of the kitchen and up the stairs:: Pierce: Rachel? Rachel? ::He walks quickly after her:: Billie:: She quickly walks after Rachel:: Yea, no one blames you that Pace is a loser and still goes through premature ejaculation and nocturnal dreams-- :: She smiles:: Rachel: ::She stops and turns to Pierce and Billie:: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! ::She puts her hand out at him:: Pierce: ::He stops, confused:: Billie:: ::She bumps into him:: Whoa, you need to calm down he's just helping you. Rachel: Ugh! ::She turns and walks to her bedroom and closes the door:: Pierce: ::He sighs, looking to Billie, not sure to follow her or not:: ::Adam begins to cry but as Pierce turns to the door he stops:: Billie:: Babies just don't cry and stop. Pierce: She's...always going to be the one that can always make him stop crying. Rachel: ::She opens the door quickly and looks to Pierce in shock:: Pierce: ::He turns into the room and stops, sensing the feeling from earlier in the bathroom now overwhelmingly:: Billie:: Dude, you are a parent too...just because he didn't come out of your tw--tootsie roll doesn't mean anything... :: She turns over to notice him gone:: ...and I was just talking to myself...how lovely. Rachel: ::She runs to Adam's crib and tries to touch him again but something blocks her from approaching his crib:: Oh my God...Pierce do something! ::Adam lays in eerie silence:: Pierce: ::He pushes his hands out and the force in the room pushes him backwards but he struggles forward and his hands begin to glow as he tries to approach the crib:: Leave this place... ::His eyes begin to glow a faint yellow:: Rachel: ::She takes ahold of his arm:: Billie:: She turns from the bedroom and into the hallway:: Price and Pace! It's time to kick ass! Pierce: ::He struggles closer to Adam, now seeing him laying there silent and a sudden bright light explodes from his and Rachel's body and the force makes the room shake:: ::Adam gasps for air in a weak cry:: Pierce: ::He looks over as he senses the force specifically in the room and throws his hand out:: ::Ripples in the air hit a wall and become a man:: :: Price and Pace appear behind Pierce as Billie stands at the doorway:: Yino: ::He looks up and to Price and disappears into the air:: ::Isaac screams out from his bedroom:: Isaac: DADDY--::He stops:: Billie: ::She turns instantly and into Isaac's bedroom:: Pierce: ::He looks to the wall and grabs Price and Pace's arm and they phase through the wall into Isaac's room:: Yino: ::He stands over Isaac who is laying on the floor; smirking:: Price:: He looks over to Yino:: HEY! :: He throws his hands as an iceball flies out towards Yino:: Yino: ::He gets hit and flies back; beginning to freeze but it melts:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand out; a bolt of electricity flying out but deflecting and hitting a picture frame on the wall:: Yino: ::He smiles, looking at Pace:: Come on... Pace:: Oh, you want a piece of me? Isaac: ::He gasps for air and looks over to Yino, seeing him waiting:: No its a trap! Rachel: ::She runs into the room with Adam in her arms, standing beside Billie at the doorway:: Pace:: He looks to his brothers then to Yino:: Okay... :: He takes a step towards Yino as a field of force flies towards at him--:: Pace:: His eyes widen as an invisible force field counteracts it and flies out out towards Yino:: Yino: ::He smiles widely and throws his hand out to his side; as if to grab the energy--just as the forcefield turns into a wall of red energy--transforming into bolt of energy and it sudddenly deflects at Rachel--:: Rachel: ::She gasps as she turns to shield Adam and pushes him to Billie--looking back--:: Pierce: NO! ::He throws his hand out and the red bolt begins to deflect but tears into a bright red scar in the air and almost hits Rachel as Billie yanks her arm as they turn into the hallway beside the doorframe as it slams into the hallway back wall--:: Pierce: ::His eyes glow as the the rest of the energy yanks back and smacks into Yino:: Yino: ::His eyes widen as he explodes as the air around him ripples; the force flying outwards:: ::Everything moves back a little:: Rachel: ::She and Billie turn back into the room, looking to where Yino was:: ...It almost...came true. Pierce: ::He breathes hard and looks to her:: ...What? Rachel: ...Pace almost killed me...like everyone's been saying he would. It happens by accident. Pierce: What do you mean? Rachel: I was told a while ago that Pace would be the one to kill me...and it almost happened just now... Pace:: What? You can't be serious... Pierce: ::He looks over to where Yino was:: ...He...died right? He couldn't have survived that...I...just don't feel like he died...maybe its just because he traveled by air... Rachel: He better be dead. Pace:: Uh--HELLO! Back to me killing you? Billie:: I doubt Pace would do anything to hurt you Rach. Rachel: ...Well it wasn't supposed to happen...I was just warned Pace would do it...I didn't think it'd happen because of course, Pace wouldn't deliberately do it...but...it happens by accident. Pierce: So...::He approaches her and holds her close:: We just have to keep you away from him then whenever a Demon attacks...easy enough. Pace:: WAIT! :: He looks to Pierce:: You're going to keep her away from me? Because a Demon sent my power back and the whole thing went wrong? That's messed up Pierce...I'm your brother-- Pierce: No...we just have to make sure Rachel stays away from you whenever a Demon attacks...just so it can't happen again. Pace:: How about this...when a Demon attacks just yell. :: He turns and walks out of the room:: Billie:: She looks to Rachel then to Pierce--handing Adam to Rachel and turns, walking out of the room:: Price:: He holds Isaac on his lap and looks to Rachel and Pierce:: So...what now? Pierce: ...I don't think I can deal with Pace right now, you deal with him. He's your...brother too. Price:: Why do I always have to be the peace-maker? Why don't you try and do something? Plus he and Billie left... Pierce: Because Pace doesn't like me at the moment. And Rachel and I have been nice and respectful but he just wants to play the victim. Rachel: ::She pulls away from Pierce, holding Adam, and leaves:: Pierce: Ugh...everyone always leaves. Price:: You know...I don't like anyone at this moment. Rachel is blaming Pace, you're telling Pace to stay away from your wife, Pace has his own problems you know...And on top of that I have to keep this family from breaking apart. Take the pain and deal with it because I have to deal with my own demons every single day. Isaac:: He looks up to his father and looks over to his Uncle Pierce:: Pierce: You're right...sorry... ::He leaves the room:: Price:: He looks to Isaac:: See...daddy is always right. Sorry about all that-- :: He smiles:: Isaac:: He nods stubbornly:: The Demon broke my X-box. Isaac: ::He walks in and to Adam's crib:: Hey there cuz, ::He puts his hands on the bars and looks down at him:: That was scary today wasn't it? Yes yes it was...but don't you worry...Uncle Price, Uncle Pace and your daddy Pierce will save the day. Isaac: Sure thing...I've been worrying about your mommy and Daddy too...cause that meany Normuck is attacking us...but I'm sure everything will okay...Daddy always saves the day. Isaac: ::He smiles, putting his finger out; Adam grabbing it, giggling:: You must get lonely when I'm off at school, huh? Price: Isaac! Dinner! ::He yells from the Dining Room:: Isaac: ::He smiles:: Maybe I'll get some Taco Choco Ice Cream afterwards...I'm sure your Mommy will be up here to get you. C-ya Cuz. ::He leaves the room, running down the hallway:: :: The toilet is flushed and the sink runs:: The faucet is turned off:: Price:: He walks out of the bathroom and walks down the hallway towards Isaac's room:: Price:: He opens the door and walks inside:: Who turned on the heat? :: He walks over to the window and opens it wide:: He looks over to see his son under the covers:: He sits besides his sleeping son and touches his face:: Price:: He notices that Isaac is burning up:: A fever? ::He quickly turns him over on his back and notices that Isaac's cheeks are flushed:: He gets up and walks over to the dresser and grabs the thermometer:: Price:: He walks back to Isaac and sits down besides him and places the thermometer underneath his tongue:: He kisses his sons forehead and walks out of the room:: Billie:: She walks out of Pace's room and closes the door:: Damn, that was a nice bed... :: She walks into the bathroom and closes the door:: Price:: He walks back into Isaac's room and places a cup of water on the nightstand:: He takes the thermometer out and looks to the temperature:: Oh God...105... Isaac: ::He opens his eyes slowly--:: Price:: He quickly picks Isaac up and quickly runs to the bathroom:: He squints his eyes at the doorknob as the door blows open:: He walks in on Billie washing her face:: Fill the tub up with cold water! Billie:: What--what happened? :: She looks to Isaac:: Oh my God...he looks flushed-- Price:: Thanks Billie, but I already knew that. :: He places him onto of the sink:: Watch him, I'm going to get ice. :: He quickly walks out of the bathroom:: Billie:: She looks to Isaac:: Isaac:: He opens his eyes slightly and looks up to Billie:: I want my Daddy... Billie:: He's coming back... Isaac:: I want my Daddy... :: Tears start to form:: ...I don't feel good... Billie:: He's coming back kid... Isaac:: I WANT MY FATHER!-- Billie:: She flies back from a force that was sent from Isaac's yell--she fall into the hallway, tapping the back wall:: Billie:: She gets up slowly and looks to Isaac:: You little piece of sh--:: She quickly walks into the bathroom:: Pace:: He walks into the Manor and walks into the kitchen:: He looks over to Price:: What's with the ice? Price:: Isaac's temperature is 105. Pace:: Uh--hospital? Price:: Once I get his temperature down I will take him...105 is death, Pace. Pace:: Where is he? Price:: In the bathroom with Billie. Pace:: Oh so you leave him alone? Price:: I said he's with Billie! Pace:: Exactly, he's all alone-- Price:: He thinks for a second:: Yea, you got a point. :: He grabs two bags filled with ice and orbs away:: ::Orbs appear in the bathroom:: Price:: He looks at Isaac as he lays in the tub:: He pours the ice slowly into the tub:: He touches Isaac's forehead:: God... Billie:: We should take him to the hospital... Price:: I know how to take care of my own son, thank you-- Billie:: But still, he could have a virus or something-- Price:: Go Billie! Billie:: Price-- Price:: GET OUT! Billie:: Fine. :: She walks out of the bathroom and slams the door shut:: Isaac:: He looks up to his father:: I don't feel good... Price:: I know baby, I know. Just relax for a few minutes...then we'll take you to go see Dr. Grey, okay? Isaac:: He tries to smile:: Okay... Pace:: He leans against the wall by the bathroom door in the hallway:: He looks to Billie, Rachel, and Pierce:: He's been in there for about an hour... Billie:: We really need to get him to the hospital. Pierce: I know. but if we bring a 105 degree child in there they'll want to investigate so much because technically he should be dead...and we can't have another incident like last time Pace was in the hospital. Pace:: He looks to Billie:: I guess I should teleport there...since Demons like me so much that they want to be around me. Billie:: No doubt...so when do you think Price will decide to take him? Pace:: When his temperature is about 102... Billie:: I never heard of an overnight temperature blaze. Pace:: He looks to Billie confused:: What? Billie:: One day you are fine and the next your temperature is mad high, like whoa. Pace:: Word up. Billie:: She looks to Pace:: Save yourself the embarrassment and never say that again. Rachel: I just hope he gets better and soon. Price:: He walks out of the bathroom and closes the door behind him:: It's now 102... Pace:: See, what I tell you guys? Price:: I'll dry him off...Pierce and Pace go start the car. Billie and Rachel stay here... Billie:: What? You want me stay while my cousin is in some scary hospital? Pierce: We'll come back. Don't worry. ::He walks down the hallway and down the stairs:: Pace:: He follows Pierce:: Price:: He forces a smile to Billie and Rachel:: He turns and opens the door and walks back inside:: The door shuts behind him:: Billie:: So Rachel, feel like cleaning? Rachel: ::She tilts her head:: I'm...gonna go...do something else...like prepare some of Isaac's things...something... ::She turns and walks away:: Billie:: Okay, I'll go...look up mysterious sicknesses while I stuff my face with Frosted Flakes... ::She walks down the hallway and downstairs:: Pace:: He walks into Isaac's hospital room with Pierce:: He walks over to Price who is sitting by his son's bedside and hands him a cup of coffee and doughnuts:: Price:: He takes the coffee and bag:: He smiles at Pace and Pierce and smells the coffee:: He places it on the nightstand and opens the bag and inhales deeply:: Mmm...doughnuts...I should've guessed. Pierce: Everyone loves doughnuts. ...Any clue why he has this fever? Maybe that Demon did something to him? ::He sits down at Isaac's bedside:: Price:: No, it's not the Demon because we didn't see anything happen to him. If the Demon did do something I'm sure that Isaac would've said something. Or you would've sensed it. Pace:: So what do you think it is or what do the doctors think it is? Price:: They say it's just a really bad case of the flu. He should be better tomorrow. They're running a lot of tests. Pierce: How should he be better tomorrow if its a really bad case? Why is it we can never trust what these doctors say to us? Price:: I'm saying he should be better tomorrow. Isaac's a fighter, he won't let this get in his way. Plus, tomorrow he sees his mother. Pierce: Why is Natalie visiting? Price:: She's not, he's going to see her. --Since when do you care if Natalie visits or not? Pierce: I just wanted to know, especially because of recent events. ::He sits down at a chair in the room:: Price:: Such as? Pierce: Well Isaac's fever, Rachel's near-death experience, that Demon attacking us...I just want to be aware of everything, there's nothing wrong with that. Price:: Well you don't need to be aware if my wife is coming or not. The only thing we need to be aware of is when Rachel's going to have her psychopath freak-out. Pierce: ::He folds his arms:: That's true...very true. ::The room is silent for a moment aside from the machines beeping:: Price:: You're on thin ice Pierce. ::He looks away from Pierce to look at Isaac:: Pace:: Well, not that the venting is over...Billie and Rachel are home alone. Price:: Yea...and? Pace:: I'm just saying...Demons? Price:: I said a spell so that Billie could use her powers, don't worry about anything. Plus we put the pyrite crystals out just in case. Pierce: Go Price. Price:: Yea...go me. Pace:: So what do we do now? Price:: What we do is make as many potions as we can. We're going down to the Underworld and we're going to send a message to every single Demon down there...and up here. Pace:: What? Pierce: Not to mess with us right now? Price:: We're going to vanquish as many Demons as we can. We're going on a rampage, I won't let them harm my son in any way...or Adam or Piper. Pace:: Sounds good with me. Price:: Good, tomorrow night we're going to finish this war with Normuck. :: He stands up and kisses his son's forehead:: Lets go, see you later on. :: He looks to his son and walks out of the room:: Pace:: Wow... :: He looks to Pierce:: ...He's angry, really angry. :: He walks over to Isaac and kisses him on the forehead and walks out of the room:: Pierce: ::He gets up and walks to the door:: Cya little guy ::He walks out of the room:: Billie:: Found our Demon Rach... Rachel: ::She corks a potion and stuffs it in a box, then turns off the burner; takes a bag that she set on the floor and puts it on the table:: Which Demon? Billie:: She looks down at the Book Of Shadows and reads the page:: Yino, the dude that came in and attacked us earlier. It says that he can bring forth the truth, it doesn't say anything about a magical flu. Hey look at me...rhyming like Dr. Seuss. Rachel: ::She unplugs the burner that sits on the coffee table and walks over to the book:: Well that's the guy...but "bringing forward the truth..."what does that mean? Billie:: She smiles as she shuts the book and walks over to a box on the table in the attic:: She sits down and opens the box:: Billie:: She turns around and looks to Rachel:: I guess it means he brings out only the truth, the truth could be both good and evil. See, if he brought the truth out in Pace for example, Pace would be flying around killing people... Enrica:: She walks into the attic and looks to Rachel and Billie:: How nice to finally meet you two...in the same room that is. Billie:: She looks up quickly and stands up:: She walks over besides Rachel:: Enrica:: Oh, don't be afraid...I'm your friend. Rachel: I smashed you with a vase the last time you said that to me. Enrica:: Yes, that tickled. Rachel: Ooo maybe I'll have another vision then and be able to attack you then. Enrica:: But if you want to play naughty and not know what's going to happen then that's on you, besides, Selentés that are close to dying don't have visions anymore, kind of like an ironic foresight. Rachel: We'll play "nice" then. Enrica:: Rachel you're going to die...soon...probably today. Rachel: ::She sticks out her tongue and folds her arms:: Heard that before, big deal. Enrica:: Yea that is true...but today is the day...you shouldn't act as if you are so powerful. A new timeline has occurred, watch out for Pace and you Billie...try to be calm in your decisions. :: She smiles and disappears in lights:: Rachel: ::She looks over to Billie; changed now:: I...don't like that. Billie:: It's cool Rach, don't worry about it. She's probably just bluffing. Rachel: What annoys me is that I don't think she is; and what annoys me more is that I know neither of you would do it on purpose; and that annoys me because I don't know how or why it'll happen. Billie:: Positive thoughts means a positive action. :: She smiles:: Rachel: ::She laughs slightly and looks to Billie, and picks up the bag on the table:: These are some of Isaac's things, I think I'll put them by the front door for the brothers. ::She turns and leaves:: Billie:: She smiles and turns towards the book:: She gasp for air as she sees a thick fog over the Book:: Normuck... Normuck:: He forms into himself and stands in front of Billie:: Soon... Billie:: She quickly shuts her eyes and opens them:: She looks around to find herself alone:: Price:: He walks out of the kitchen and walks into the sitting room:: He looks to his brothers, Billie, and Rachel:: Hey, Pierce and Pace you guys ready? Pierce: ::He sits up from sitting with Rachel and turns to Price:: Absolutely. Pace:: He stands up and walks over to Price:: Lets do this thing...who are we attacking first? Pierce: ::He walks over to him:: We have a large boxful of potions, we're definitely ready... Rachel: ::She looks over to Billie uncertain and looks back to the brothers:: Price:: The Darklighters...I know where they stay and we're going to vanquish each and every one of them. Billie:: Why them? Price:: He looks to Billie:: My son has Whitelighter blood in him, if he is attacked by one of them. Billie:: It's also suicide for you guys. Pierce: All right, we just need to keep the arrows away from us, that's easy. Price:: I never attack without a plan. Lets go. :: He puts his hands on his brothers shoulders and orbs away:: Billie:: She watches them orb away and looks to Rachel:: And we sit here not doing a thing. ...So, where should the funeral be? Rachel: ::She gives her a blank face:: ...Rosenbloom's Funeral Home. I hear they have good deals there. Billie:: Really? I was thinking about DiVinci's Funeral Home. It's very beautiful, and lots of colors also. Rachel: ::She looks away:: Hm. ::She looks over to a notepad and writes on it:: Make...Funeral...Arrangements. :: Orbs appear in front of a black gate:: :: The brothers appear:: Pace:: Hmm, since when do they have gates down here? Pierce: Just make sure we deflect and telekinesis every single arrow. Price:: Don't know and don't care. :: He blows the gate open and walks inside:: He walks straight until he sees four dozen Darklighters:: He whistles and they turn to look towards the brothers:: Sorry to crash the party but this is my final warning. Price:: Stay away from my family... :: He throws his hands three times out to the crowd and and blows every single Darklighters in the space:: He turns to his brothers:: Next... Pace:: Oh, wow. Pierce: ::He walks over:: That's...a new way to kill Darklighters all right...but more are going to come. ::Five darklighters appear in black orbs:: Price:: He turns around and flicks his hands at them--each exploding in fire:: Anymore? Pierce: ...The entire worldful? Price:: Guess we should stay here and wait... Pierce: No, we've left our mark. Only a Charmed one could do this. Next target. Price:: Who's the leader? Pierce: Well...are there "Dark Elders" somewhere? We need them to know it was us. Pace:: I'll take care of the "Dark Elders" or whatever they are. You two go and vanquish more Demons. :: He teleports away in blue lights:: Pierce: Yes...what better than for us to separate? ::He touches Price's shoulder and they teleport away:: Billie:: She walks through the forest as she holds tightly to a book:: She stops in front of an old house and walks up to the door slowly:: Billie:: She goes to knock on the door but the door opens slowly:: She walks inside:: Hello? Is anybody home? Billie:: Because if not I'll just turn back around and go home. :: The door slams shut:: Billie:: She quickly turns around:: Or not... Billie:: She turns around quickly to see a woman in a white dress glaring at her:: What? Do I have "Stare At Me" written across my face? Or is there something stuck in my teeth? Woman:: You must be Billie. Billie:: Yea... Woman:: I have been waiting over two hundred years. Billie:: Damn, that must've been some long ass wait. Sorry that I wasn't born anytime earlier. Woman:: You have come for answers. Billie:: Yes, I have. This book, the one Price and I went to get earlier. It tells of a woman who guides a young girl. The woman is The Guardian and the young girl is The Prophecy? Woman:: She nods:: Billie:: So you must be Guardian chick and I'm the Prophecy bitch? Woman:: She gives Billie an confused look:: Billie:: Nevermind... Woman:: I have so much to teach you in so little time. Billie:: Wait, so you were willing to wait two hundred years and now that I'm here you just don't want to wait no more? Ain't that a wart on a man's--nevermind. Woman:: I see that the Powers That Be didn't give you any sense of vocabulary. Billie:: She quickly looks to the woman:: Excuse me? Oh, hell no. I know I didn't come over here only to get dissed by you. I hope you know how to fight because I'm about to smack you one, you old tit sagging, ass droping, granny hillbilly. Woman:: There goes that name again...Billie. Billie:: Oh, so grandma got game? Woman:: She smiles and walks over to a table and sits down:: Come...let me see. Billie:: No...ok. :: She walks over to the table and sits down across from her:: Woman:: You're afraid to die. Billie:: Of course, isn't everyone? Woman:: But you shouldn't, you are everyone. Billie:: English. Woman:: You are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. You are the air that we breath, you are a god among creatures and insects. Billie:: What? Woman:: You hold the most powerful power, only if you could tap into it. Billie:: What's this power? Woman:: Death. Billie:: That's a power? You call death a power. Woman:: It's a power that you were given. You are able to give life and take life. Raise the dead to living and the living to the dead. You are able to heal. You are Earth's child and being Earth's child you are also evil. Billie:: She quickly stands up:: Now you're talking crazy lady. I should've never come here in the first place. Woman:: Please, don't go I have so much more to tell you. Billie:: What else? That I'm the key to make Normuck solid again? That if he gets his hands on me that the world is done for? Woman:: You're still so very young. Billie:: Listen lady, I've been having nightmares ever since I was a child. Nightmares that some man would take me away. I thought that man was my uncle, it's actually Normuck. Woman:: Don't let the past interfere. Billie:: I bet you didn't know that I was molested...does all of Earth's children get molested? Do they cry themselves to sleep at night with cuts on their wrist? Do they even feel human? Woman:: Billie... Billie:: You don't even know me, so don't even say my name-- Woman:: She stands up:: Billie:: No! Woman:: She flies back and hits the wall:: She stays pressed up against the wall:: Billie:: Say another word and I'll kill you myself. I have the right to do that don't I? I'm suppose to be evil also, right? So I could kill you and I'll be okay with it. Woman:: Please... Billie:: But I'm not that kind of a person. Woman:: She falls to her knees:: Billie:: She grabs the book from the table and looks over to the fireplace:: She throws the book into the fire and walks out of the house:: Woman:: She looks up as a tear rolls down her cheek:: Be careful my daughter... Pierce: ::He throws his hands forward and a blast of electricity flies out and hits a woman, and she flies back, transforming into a green, slimey Demon:: Demon: ::She stands up and spits out acid at him:: Pierce: ::He stares at it and it disappears and reappears to her side and hits her; burning him and killing her until she is nothing:: There. Price, did you get all of upstairs? Price:: He walks over to Pierce:: Yea...we're running out of potions. Pierce: You're using potions? Why? Price:: No but the ones in the box, half of them were destroyed. :: He points to the box on the floor:: Pierce: ...Oh. Well, we're practically done the list, aren't we? Price:: We just need to make a visit to Syria. The Queen Of The Vampires, once I vanquish her then I'll be happy. Pierce: There's another Queen? Oh goodness...all right, do you want to handle that one by yourself? I have a feeling I need to get home... Price:: Come with me. What if I lose concentration and they kill me... Pierce: ...You do always get hit because you go A.D.D... ::He walks to his brother and takes his hand:: Lets go then. Price:: Lead the way... Pierce: You were the one who said we had to go all the way across the world, you do it... Price:: Oh marone... :: He takes his brothers hand and orbs away:: Pace:: He examines the five men dressed in black hoods:: He watches them surround a large crystal clear ball:: He squints his eyes and quickly runs over to them:: :: They all look towards Pace:: Pace:: What? Did you forsee that or something? :: One of the Dark Elders throws an black energyball at Pace:: He quickly puts his hand up as it deflects and hits the Dark Elder blowing him up:: Pace:: One down and four to go. :: He says with a smirk on his face:: :: The four Dark Elders hold their hands out as an bow and arrow appear in their hands:: They all shoot at Pace:: Pace:: He puts both of his hands up quickly to create an invisible force field:: He pushes the force field back:: :: The force field flies back and hits the Dark Elders:: They fly backwards and hit the stone wall:: Pace:: He raises his hand up as his eyes turn white:: :: The Dark Elders burn in blue flames and scream in agony as they soon explode into ashes:: Pace:: He stumbles back into the wall:: Oh...not again! :: Bright blue flames surround Pace:: He screams for help then suddenly vanishes:: ::Bright lights appear in the sitting room:: Pierce: ::He appears next to Price; his clothes ripped and half burnt --He lets go of Price's arm quickly:: That is the last time I vanquish a vampire with you around; Mr. A.D.D. ! ::He turns and walks to the stairway:: Price:: Hey! Where are you going? We have about two more Demons to vanquish. Rachel: ::She walks out from the kitchen:: Whatever happened to coming back for us, huh? Billie got so bored she rushed out of here without saying a word to me, and now I feel like I packed a bag for Isaac for nothing. Pierce: ::He glances over to his wife and back to his brother:: I am going to change my clothes, go do it yourself after you take your medicine! ::He turns and walks to his bedroom and shuts the door:: Rachel: ::She stands beneath the Dining Room Arch:: ...I guess you did something wrong then? ::She sighs:: Price:: He looks to Rachel:: Sorry Rach, Demons had to be vanquished. Plus Isaac should be fine. I read this potion in a book for magickal sicknesses...but you know, I have to go and vanquish two more Demons. So, go and get the book from my bedroom and I'll be back in about fifteen minutes. :: He smiles and orbs away:: Rachel: Sure, whatever you say... ::She walks up the stairs and walks into Price's bedroom, stops, and looks around:: "Go and get the book from my bedroom and..."I don't even see it. Rachel: ::She rubs her arm and looks around, feeling cold; and walks to his dresser, opening a drawers and closing them:: Rachel: ::She turns to look at his closet and gasps, feeling something touch her:: Pier--::She flies to the side and hits the wall above Price's bed and hits the bed, bouncing up and down:: ::Yino appears out of the air in a turn and the air turns stale as he takes a few steps further towards her:: Rachel: ::She pushes herself up:: I thought we vanquished you! Yino: I recovered after that little encounter...and I'm even stronger now ::He lifts his hand and she flies up and hits the wall; staying there:: And now we wait for your husband to come to your rescue... ::He opens his hand slightly, giving her enough air to yell:: Rachel: PIERC--! ::Yino clutches his hand and she gasps, not being able to breath:: Yino: ::He smiles as he looks over to the doorway:: Pierce: ::He phases through the wall and jumps out from the dresser and tackles Yino from behind, knocking him right into the footboard of Price's bed:: Yino: ::He falls forward and hits his head on the footboard, disappearing and reappearing by the doorway; Rachel drops onto the bed again:: Pierce: I thought we killed you last time! ::He throws his hand forward, a bolt of electricity flying out and hitting him, knocking him into the hallway:: Rachel: ::She pushes herself up:: "Stronger..." right... Pierce: ::He walks quickly to the hallway and sees Yino holding Adam by Adam's bedroom doorway:: Pierce: ...Let him go... Yino: Yeah right...he'll die and your entire family will crumble... Adam: ::He cries loudly as a force erupts from him and knocks Yino into the wall while he falls down gently downwards like a feather:: Yino: ::He hits the wall and turns to Adam, raises his hand and--:: Pierce: ::He squints his eyes and spears of electricity appear and stab Yino in his torso, pinning him to the wall:: Rachel: ::She runs out from Price's bedroom and rolls on the floor, grabs Adam, and turns into their bedroom:: Pierce: ::He takes a few steps closer and opens his arms, the air around him changing; the winds gathering in the hallway and throughout the house as his eyes and hands glow:: Yino: ::He struggles and moves his fingers at Pierce and a side table flies at him:: ::The table bounces off Pierce and flies towards the back of the hallway:: Pierce: You've threatened my family at a very bad time--and you didn't want to die before--BUT YOU WILL NOW! ::He throws his hand forward and Yino leans forward, as if phasing through the air and the winds build up as a bolt of electricity appears in front of his face and flies at Yino; hitting him, making him explode in agony until the winds settle down and all is at rest:: Rachel: ::She peaks out from the doorway:: Geez Pierce... ::She holds Adam closely:: Pierce: ::His eyes and hands return to their normal color, taking a breath in and out:: Oh...it was just a matter of not letting him escape into the air again when he gets "killed..."that's all... Price:: He walks down the hallway from the attic:: Rachel, what happened to the book? :: He walks into Pierce and Rachel's room:: Oh, thank God this isn't my room. Rachel: ::She places Adam in his crib and looks to him:: You just missed out on Pierce's killing that Demon that attacked us yesterday...again. Pierce: It came back. Rachel: And I can't find your book, so sorry, I was trying and then I almost got a back injury. Price:: A book orbs in Price's hand:: He hands it to Rachel:: Did you look in my desk? :: He looks to Pierce:: So, the Demon was vanquished...in an agonizing pain I hope. Pierce: Oh, I just stabbed him with electricity then by controlling the air I phased him and electrocuted his ass and unlike last time he wasn't able to return to the air before his death; so it was pretty agonizing. Rachel: I'll...be downstairs doing the potion thing... ::She walks down the stairs:: Price:: He walks down the hallway and is stopped by Dr. Coleman:: Good news? Dr. Coleman:: Mr. Halliwell, your son isn't doing too well. His temperature was once high, so high he should've died. His body is neglecting all of the medicine that we're giving him. His organs are slowly shutting down... Dr. Coleman:: What we're afraid of is that he could fall into a coma... Price:: No... Dr. Coleman:: I'm sorry Mr. Halliwell...but what we thought was a miracle may just be fate. We're doing all that we can. Price:: He looks to the wall and back to the doctor:: You do all that you can to make sure he lives. You're a doctor, figure something out! I will not let my son die... :: He walks away from the doctor and into his son's room:: Price:: He walks into the room and shuts the door:: He walks to the chair and sits down:: He places his hand on his son's hand:: Come on Isaac, you can fight this. :: A knock is heard:: Price:: Go away... :: The door opens as a woman walks inside:: Price:: He looks from his son to the woman:: Natalie... :: He stands up quickly and walks over to her:: He wraps his arms around her:: Natalie:: She hugs him back and lets go:: She walks over to Isaac and leans down and kisses him on his forehead:: She turns and looks to Price:: Don't worry... Price:: Don't worry? He could die Nat, he could fall into a coma and die. I have to worry, I'm his father. Natalie:: And I'm his mother and I'm telling you not to. Price:: Maybe you didn't hear what I had just said. Natalie:: I heard what you said...we need Billie. Price:: What for? Natalie:: To make our son immortal. Billie: Hey, whatcha doing? Rachel: Making a list of recent events...it's just a lot to keep up with. Billie: Ah... ::She walks in and sits across from her at the couch:: Billie: Oh nothing...just forget about it. Rachel: ::She looks away, thinking, then scribbles down more Demon incidents:: Billie: Any particular reason for this list? I know things around here have been shitty, but you probably could be spending your time better. Rachel: Well...I just want to leave everybody a good record of things... Billie: Girl you need to stop--you're not leaving. Rachel: Billie, either I leave or I leave. Billie: Look, Pierce already said he'd protect you. Rachel: Yeah, well he isn't here right now, and the only thing I can hope will save me is you; but apparently I have to even be careful or something might happen with you. Rachel: --Or what? Billie: ...Look, just nevermind... ::She walks away and to one of the windows, sighing:: Rachel: Oh! I made that potion for Price... Billie: For Isaac? Rachel: Yeah...I know Price wanted it, so I've spent all day practically... Rachel: ::She smiles at Billie's optimism and nods:: I'm gonna go downstairs and get some ice for when I hit my back. ::She stands up and leaves the room:: Billie: ::She nods, and walks to the Book of Shadows, flipping some of the pages; until they all shift to a particular page:: What-the... ::She tries to turn it but the page won't move:: Billie: Whoa... ::She looks down and reads it:: "When things get tough, and everything looks its end, darkness always falls before light can raise it up again..." ::The writing stops:: ..."-Prue" Billie: Oh...that was wicked... ::The Book closes and everything comes to a rest:: ::She smiles and walks out of the room:: Hey Rachel! ... Pace:: He appears in an Mystical astral plane:: He looks around only to see different types of colors of the wind surround him:: Where am I? Voice:: This is you're home. Pace:: He turns around quickly as he heard a female voice:: Who's there? Voice:: Don't be frightened, you and your body has served me well. Pace:: Oh, so you have a voice and here I am thinking all you did was screech and squeal. Voice:: The end is here. Pace:: The end is here? You're going to leave my body and find somebody else to ruin? Pace:: It's cool, I needed you most of the times anyway. Voice:: Pace, you must find a way to bring the others alive. Pace:: Others? Others like you? But I thought you guys didn't exist anymore, thought you were the last of the last. Voice:: I am the last of the last, the last that had been alive. Pace:: Say what? Voice:: Out there in the world is a temple where my children were brought. My children were put away into hiding so that our species would not continue. I picked you because of who you are, a Charmed One. Pace:: I hope you're not asking me to play mommy and daddy to a whole bunch of fire creatures. Voice:: I'm asking you to set them free. Voice:: Pace... Pace:: No, don't Pace me! I will not let your kind into this world. You are the last and you're going to be the last, once I die you're coming with me. Voice:: The essence of the Phoenix will always be in your family line. Your children will have the power and so will their children. If evil ever wins over good, your children will have the power to stop its spread. Pace:: What are you talking about? Voice:: A child will be born in this generation, a child of pure evil. He will have the power to bring the world to its knees. He alone will vanquish all of the Demons or force them to join his side. Pace:: What? Voice:: I am asking you to please, for all of the innocents in the world, for the sake of mankind, release my children. Let them help you fight in the war against evil. Pace:: How do I know you're not telling me a lie? Voice:: I am one with you, do feel as if I'm lying? Pace:: No. Voice:: Please, do this to save the world from evil. Pace:: Fine...but you have to do me a favor. Voice:: That would be? Pace:: I want to see what you really look like and what is your real name? Voice:: My name is Olivia. :: Blue flames appear in front of Pace as they take form of a woman:: Pace:: His eyes widen:: You're beautiful... Rachel: ::She walks to his crib and sets him down, smiling, and turns abruptly; seeing someone at the door:: Reese: Hey there...I need to speak with you. Rachel: ::She walks over to him and into the hallway, closing the door:: This isn't a vision...what's up? Reese: Something changes in history today...You know how I study my past...your present? Well if something happens today that shouldn't, it could all stop. Rachel: Then what are you talking to me then? You're screwing it up--shoo shoo. Rachel: So...what are you telling me? Reese: I'm telling you, that today, everything is on the line, and in order to save my father, and my uncles, you all have to be prepared for everything to happen today. Reese: ::He hugs her and takes a step back, putting his finger to his lips:: Shh... ::Bright lights appear around him as he disappears:: Rachel: ::She takes a step back, rubbing her arms with a chill in the air; she turns and proceeds back into the bedroom, picking up Adam from his crib--grabbing his baby bag, and walks down the stairs quickly:: Hello? ::She walks into the sitting room, seeing no one:: ::Everything is still within her view... :: ::Bright lights appear in a well-light cavern:: Enrica: ::Her eyes appear from white and she looks over to him:: Pierce... Pierce: Enrica. Enrica: How'd you find me...I find you, not the other way around. Pierce: Something big is about to happen, and I've been looking for you; and its getting near dinnertime and here I have no clue what's happening. Enrica: Well I'm not helping you anymore, I refuse to...I've helped enough, now I want to see time unfold. Pierce: Ah but that's just the thing; I'm a little worried about the outcome...and you were just foreseeing something...so how about you let me in on it. Enrica: ::She walks towards him:: Pace realizes his future, And as you all try and stop him tonight something major will happen from its outcome...happy? Pierce: ::He moves his neck around a little and looks back to her:: Too broad... ::A brief wind blows out every single candle's flame:: Enrica: ::She looks around to her candles:: This is the time that The Charmed Ones will shine; and I want to see it when it happens...from down here. Pierce: One more thing then...can you tell me where Rachel is? I'm having trouble sensing her with all this stress going on... Enrica: She's gone somewhere to try and find herself...somewhere where she is needed. Pierce: Where is that, stop bouncing around the bush, you know better than that. Enrica: She's gone to a Church, that little one in San Francisco...you know...the one you got married in... Enrica: ::She smiles and looks to her candles, then back to his direction:: Now do you mind lighting them for me again? ::The wind chills:: Enrica: Pierce? ::She looks around, seeing no one:: Rachel: ::She opens the door and walks outside of the church, closing it behind her, and walks forward, seeing the large garden in front of the church, bordering the road and the distant water beyond it:: Pierce: ::He appears in bright lights:: Rachel: ::She turns, seeing him, smiling as he shines in the light:: Hey there my Guardian Angel. Pierce: Hey...why are you out here? It's a little while away from home. Pierce: ::He takes her hands:: Me too... ::He kisses her, then looks to the church:: It looks exactly the same as on our wedding day. Rachel: Yeah, I still love this garden too...it's a nice escape from it all. Pierce: ::He smiles, then looks back to her:: We do have to get back you know... Rachel: Can't we just stay here a little bit longer? Pierce: ::He takes her hands and kisses her; as they disappear in lights:: Billie:: She walks into the Manor and shuts the door behind her:: Hello? Anyone home? Rachel: ::She walks out of her bedroom and to the doorway:: Hey, Pierce just left to find Pace...so I'm all home with Adam--we picked him up from Price and Natalie's. So basically I'm home alone. Billie:: Hey Rach, well not really because you know...I'm here. :: She looks around the hallway as she hears voices:: Dude, you sure you were here alone? I could of sworn I heard somebody whispering. Rachel: ::She glances around:: No I don't think so... ::She rubs her elbows with her arms across her chest and walks up the stairs towards the attic, peaking upwards:: I don't see anyone. I guess I'll get dinner ready soon. Billie:: Oh, it's cool. :: She turns and walks downstairs:: She walks into the kitchen and opens the fridge:: She takes out a bottle of water and turns around quickly as she hears the whispers:: Okay, this is getting annoying! Billie:: She looks around the kitchen and places the bottle of water back in the fridge and closes the door:: She looks towards the basement door as it is slightly ajar:: She walks over and opens it:: Billie:: She closes her eyes and shakes her head slightly as the voices become louder and clearer:: Billie:: She turns around and looks to Rachel:: Traitor! Billie:: You were going to hand me over to Normuck so that you wouldn't die. You're a liar, traitor, and you're selfish! Rachel: What are you talking about? Of course I wouldn't do that! ::She examines her and takes a few steps back:: Calm down though... Billie:: I will not be handed over to...yes, yes... ::She looks to Rachel:: Don't talk to me as if I'm sort of child! Billie:: I am the one here with power, you're nothing compared to me. The only thing you do is whine and cry. Whine and cry, whine and cry... :: She whines:: Pierce, Reese, Adam, help me... Billie:: You're not doing anything... :: The lights in the Manor flicker as the power goes out:: Billie:: She smiles as she disappears and reappears by Rachel's side:: If you think you're going to kill me... :: She raises a knife:: ...then you have another thing coming. Rachel: ::She sees the knife:: PIERCE! ::She dodges and kicks Billie, running to the dining room and towards the front door:: Billie:: She stumbles back and looks toward the door:: She quickly runs and disappears in the air and appears in front of the door:: She spins around and kicks Rachel in the gut:: Rachel: UGH! ::She falls back, onto the antique rug and just before hitting the round table in the entry hall; she pushes herself up:: Billie, think clearly...you're possessed...you know me...I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Billie:: She walks quickly over to Rachel and grabs her by the throat:: She lifts her up and throws her across the room:: I won't be a victim, especially to you! Rachel: ::She flies across the room and hits against the bottom stairs; she looks to Billie's eyes:: PIERCE! PRICE! PACE! Come on damn it! ::She pushes herself up and runs up the stairs and all the way into the attic:: Billie:: You think just because I just got here that I don't know your plan?! You're jealous of me, always been...you wanted me gone from the moment I walked into this house. Rachel: ::She runs to the potions cabinet and grabs a purple capsule, then to the door and runs to it, slamming it shut; locking the door:: :: The lights flicker in the attic then go off:: Billie:: Where do you think you're running to? Billie:: She stands in the middle of the attic as she scratches her head:: No place to run...no place to go...no place to hide. Billie:: You can scream but nobody will hear you. Rachel: ::She runs to the Book of Shadows, trying to flip the pages in a panic:: ...God help me... ::She picks up the Book and holds it as a shield:: Rachel: Billie, please...think of Adam... Billie:: She turns around slowly and looks to Rachel:: DON'T THROW YOUR CHILD INTO THIS! Billie:: Her grip tightens on the knife:: You think I care about that stupid baby?! Billie:: He doesn't even know you...so sad that he will never ever get to remember what his mother looks like. Why? Because you're going to be dead in three minutes. Rachel: Shut up--What in the world is wrong with you? I can't believe I'm actually afraid of you right now...YOU'RE ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS! Billie:: She drops to the floor:: She places her hands to her head:: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! :: Her eyes widen as she looks to Rachel:: YOU WANT TO SEE REAL BLOOD BITCH?! :: She stands up:: Rachel: Billie...you can fight this...come on... ::She looks at the knife and looks to the capsule in her hand and throws it forward, hitting the floor just before Billie, seeing it form a fog that quickly vanishes:: ...Damn it...Price and his potions... Billie:: She walks to Rachel and grabs her by the throat and presses her up against the wall:: Ready to see blood? Your own blood? Rachel: ::She struggles; unable to move from Billie's sudden strength:: Let me go...I refuse to die by you...this way... ::She struggles some more; suddenly it begins to thunderstorm outside:: Rachel: I wouldn't do that... ::She struggles:: ...you're my best friend... ::She struggles:: Billie:: She lifts her up a foot from the floor:: Her grip tightens around Rachel's throat:: Rachel: ::She begins to lose her; her voice to just a whisper:: Pierce... ::She stresses her eyes:: Pierce... ::She tries to yell:: ...God... ::Her eyes tearing:: ::Adam cries loudly but is muffled from the door being closed:: ::The sound of Rachel's scream is heard before is suddenly cut off:: ::The camera zooms out and onto the Manor, as Adam cries even worse:: ::The rain worsens in pain, the thunder roars in agony:: ::Bright orbs appears:: :: The orbs vanish as Price, Natalie, and Isaac are shown:: Price:: He looks over to Natalie who is holding Isaac and he smiles slightly:: He turns and walks away and walks into the kitchen:: He walks back to Natalie and Isaac with a capsule:: Isaac:: He opens his mouth slightly as his mother pours the liquid in his mouth:: He swallows and glows a bright red:: He looks over to his father and smiles:: I'm tired... Price:: He looks over to Natalie:: He's better. Isaac:: Yea, sure no problem. :: He smiles:: Price:: He notices a chill in the Manor:: The door must be open. :: He walks down the hallway and walks to the Manor door:: Before he closes the door he notices Pierce on the lawn:: Pierce? Price:: He walks onto the porch and walks over to the end and squints:: Dude it's raining... :: He notices Rachel's body:: Oh... Price:: He ignores Pace and looks to Pierce as he holds his chest:: Pierce: ::He cries over her; holding her left hand:: Rachel... ::The rain still pours, the thunder storms slightly:: Pace:: What? ::He looks over and notices Rachel's body:: His eyes widen:: Pierce: ::He glances over to Price and Pace and looks back to his wife; tears still pouring down his face as he stares at her face; her body bloody; the glass scattered around her:: Billie:: She walks slowly out of the Manor and down the steps:: She turns and walks onto the lawn and looks to Pierce and Rachel's body:: Pierce: ::He holds onto her hand, especially rubbing her wedding ring and looks up; all the rain over turns and pours away from them; he looks back to her, then looks to his family:: ...It's raining... |
