A/N: Hii. I'm doing a Charmed fic. Shocking I know. But this one's a new idea I been brewing. What if we set the Charmed ones story in the present? What if we set it in a world where there younger? And what if i take all we know about the show now and make it make sense with events from earlier seasons? Hope you like.
Summery: Charmed Revamped. The story of the Halliwell sisters updated. A tale of younger version of the Power of three as they go and discover their destiny. Read and Review, please.
Set: Late 2007.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of this. But I figured since the show's over I could try and redo the story my way. But I gain no profit.
Fade in:
Ext. - Golden State University. - Night.
An exterior shot of the University campus shows us that it is raining hard. No one seems to be out tonight.
Int. Library.
Most of the lights are off by now except for the one on the receptionist desk. There behind the counter sits a YOUNG BLONDE WOMAN, donning glasses and seemingly highlighting a text from a book she's reading. The THUNDER CLAPS loudly, making her shake visibly from the noise. She gathers herself and wearily looks at the windows.
The girl puts the book and walks over to one of the shelves nearby. She tries to reach for a book on the top shelf but has a bit of trouble getting to it. She reaches up further and tries to grab a hold of the shelf.
Someone's PVO.
We can see the same girl, though trough the eyes of someone behind her that's walking slowly to her. The girl grunts a bit and doesn't seem to notice. A MALE HAND reaches out to her shoulder and grabs her making her scream and turn in fright. She looks at the person and her looked turns into a mixture of annoyed and relieved.
Girl: God. You scared me. What took you so long?
The girl looks a bit suspicious now.
Girl: W-what is it?
The hand rises again and A KNIFE materializes in it. The girl's eyes go wide.
Ext. - Quake's Diner. - Day.
It's a nice looking old fashion diner with a sigh with its named colorfully designated to look like it broke in haft.
Int. - Quake's Diner.
The place looks quite busy as many people already fill several of the tables. There are a few waitresses walking around with orders and others are taking orders. Behind the counter there's one NERVOUS YOUNG GIRL. She has brunette hair and long, made into a pony tail and she's wearing a uniform but is different from the waitresses. She wears a name tag on her shirt. It reads PIPER HALLIWELL.
A WAITRESS walks over to the counter and goes directly to Piper.
Waitress: Earth to Halliwell.
Piper takes a few seconds but then notices that she's referring to her.
Waitress: You still with us?
Piper: Yeah, sorry. My head's just… filled these days.
Waitress: Yeah, I heard Manny is making you were extra nights.
Piper: No, I can deal with that. My stressing has more to do with sister issues.
Waitress: I thought you and your sister got along great.
Piper: We do. It's like having the perfect roommate. But she and my other sister don't really get along that well.
Waitress: You have another sister?
Girl's voice: (Off Screen.) They really prefer to call me the black sheep.
The waitress and Piper turn to see another YOUNG BRUNETTE. She has short hair and is dressed in jeans and a leather jacket and a duffle bag on her shoulder. Piper's looks bemused.
Piper: Phoebe. You said you were coming tomorrow.
Phoebe: Yeah, caught an earlier ride. Aren't you happy to see me?
Waitress: I'll leave you two to bond.
The waitress leaves and Phoebe takes the stool she was blocking.
Phoebe: I can't believe you're actually managing this place. Piper, couldn't you set your goals a little higher than food service?
Piper: Hey, I'll take any help to pay for tuition. Is what we people who don't decide to sing for a living do.
Phoebe: You're not very good at the subtle, are you?
Piper: What do you expect me to say? You left to follow your musical dream and I had to actually act as a defense attorney for you with Grams and Prue. And what do you have to show for all my effort? You're back and broke.
Phoebe: (Bitterly.) I missed you too.
Piper: (Sighing.) I'm sorry. I'm just stressing over work and the fact that Prue doesn't know you're coming back yet.
Phoebe: I think you're majorly overreacting, you know. I know she and I don't exactly see eye to eye but how mad can she be over me just wanting to have my bed and closet space back?
Piper: I hope you're right. Okay. Just hang out here till my shift ends and then I can drive you to the manor.
Phoebe nods and Piper starts to head towards the kitchen, but not before calling back…
Piper: And don't hit on anyone.
Phoebe just rolls her eyes.
Int. - Library. - Day.
The same one from earlier only now it's a crime scene. Several POLICE MEN and THREE INSPECTORS crowd the area. The girl from before is lying lifeless on the floor, blood splattered around her.
There are two younger looking people amongst the crowd. One is a YOUNG MAN, with glasses and the other is a YOUNG WOMAN, with long black hair who's taking pictures with a camera.
One of the inspector, an AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN in his mid 20's, walks over to them.
Inspector: Sorry kids, the library's closed.
Keith: Keith Harding. I'm a reporter for the Golden Gazer. I just wanted a chance to ask a few question about what happened here. Think you can answer a few, inspector…
Inspector: Morris. And no, the press will get our statement soon enough.
The young woman takes a few shots of the body. Morris gets in her way before her last shot. The young woman gives him an annoyed look.
Keith: So you will not confirm or deny whether this murder is linked to the last two on campus killings?
Morris: Listen, dweeb-
Morris grabs Keith's collar, but then, the young woman takes a few shots of this making Morris let go and earning smirks from Keith.
Keith: The police trying to take care of the press to keep them from finding out they are hiding evidence that proves there is some sort of murderous cult in the city. But Prue kinda helped me out a bit with that.
The young woman, who is PRUE HALLIWELL, just smiles and smirks right back.
Prue: I'll bet this will look bad on your already violent record, Inspector Darryl Morris.
Morris looks a bit taken by this.
Morris: Do I know you?
Prue: Not formally. But I had sort of become a fan ever since you violently assaulted Tom Peters, the captain of the football team, last year. Ring a bell?
Morris: Oh, now I remember. You're the little girlfriend that vowed I would pay.
Prue: And you will.
They both stare for a moment before Keith grabs Prue by the arm.
Keith: I think we got enough of a story here. This time tomorrow the whole city will know how much trouble the Police Department is taking to cover up a possible cult with a killing agenda.
Morris: You listen to me, Clark Kent. There is no real evidence to back up that ridiculous urban Legend.
Prue: I suppose that most crime scenes end up with giant blood painted pentagrams on the ceiling.
Morris flinches and looks up as they all do. There is in fact a drawn pentagram on the ceiling. Morris glares and looks down to see the two reporters leave the building. Another one of the INSPECTORS, this one Hispanic, walks over to him.
Inspector: Who were those kids? That girl seemed familiar.
Morris: Just the damn student press.
Ext. - Halliwell Manor. - Night.
A black SUV arrives and parks in the driveway. Prue is the one getting out of it.
Int. - Halliwell Manor. - Foyer.
The door opens and Prue walks in closing it from behind and slinging her bag off her shoulder and on the small table. She walks towards the living room.
Prue: Piper, you'll never believe into who I ran into.
She walks in and stops dead on her tracks at the sight.
Prue: (Furious.) You gotta be kidding me!
Phoebe and Piper are on the couch in their pajama's watching a movie with popcorn. Both girls look comfortable and embarrassed at being caught like this by their sister.
Piper: Phoebe's back.
Phoebe: Hi, Prue. You still mad at me?
Prue stares in silent for a moment and then leaves the room heading for the stares.
Phoebe: I'll take that as a yes…
Int. - Prue's room.
Prue's taking her sweater off and kicking off her shoes. Piper appears at her doorway.
Piper: She's still our sister.
Prue: (Rummaging through her closet.) Does Grams know she's back?
Piper: No. She's still unreachable. But she always said Phoebe was welcome back any time she wanted.
Prue: Apparently.
Piper: I know you're still mad.
Prue jerks around looking all sorts of angry.
Prue: You don't know what I am right now. She stole money from us. She lied to us. She left to New York with some guy and she's only 16! She dropped out of school and almost left Grams hospitalized! Not to mention that she later actually reveals that she went searching for Victor! And why? Cause she's always been a little brat.
Piper: A little brat who's still a kid and our sister.
Prue glares and turns back to her closet.
Prue: So, is that a get-out-of-jail-free card for the last year?
Piper: No. But I refuse to become like dad and leave people from our family behind when they need me.
Prue falls silent to this and takes a bit to turn around and face Piper. Piper smiles at her and Prue eventually rolls her eyes and just nods.
Piper: So, how was your day?
Prue: I think we just confirmed that there are really doing rituals with the girls who had been killed on campus.
Piper: Why do I bother asking these things when they creep me out?
Prue: I would only like to figure out what's the pattern. Maybe if the damn cops focused on solving the case rather than covering it up we might not be in danger of being the next target.
Piper: Prue! Don't say that!
Prue: Oh calm down, Piper. It's really unlikely will be the next victims.
A crash is heard from outside of the room. Piper jumps and hides behind her sister.
Piper: You do know you jinxed us and if we die I'm so killing you, right?
Prue: Right.
Piper: Just making sure.
Int. - Manor upstairs hallway.
The girls step out of the room and walk towards where they heard the sound. Another crash is heard with a small grunt. They look towards the attic door.
Piper: I'm so not going.
Prue pulls her by the arm and they walk up the stares slowly. Phoebe comes into the hallway and watches them walk towards the door.
Int. - Halliwell Attic.
The door opens and the both sister peek their heads in as they see some sort of SHAWDOWED CREATURE struggle with carrying something it its hands. It's covered by a blanket.
Prue: Hey!
The creature turns to see them and growls at them. Prue looks shaken but walks in the room.
Prue: Whatever you are, get out of my house!
The item on the creatures hands glows and flies off its grip lunging itself towards Prue. Prue catches it in her hands and let's the blanket drop.
Angle on the Item: It's an old giant Book, titled BOOK OF SHADOWS. There's a symbol made out of three separate oval shaped rings that bound together. Said symbol start to shine.
Prue: What the-
The creature growls and jumps towards Prue. Piper screams from the door way and reaches her hands for her sister…
… She pulls her out of harms way just in time for the creature to crash against some old boxes. The girls wearily walk inside the attic.
Piper: Prue, what the hell is that?
Prue: Do I look like I have a clue?
Phoebe: (Off-screen.) Guys?
The girls turn to see Phoebe enter the room and then turn to what their younger sister is staring at. Is the Book in Prue's hand. It glows. Phoebe reaches and touches it, making it glow harder. Piper also reaches and touches it. All of them look at each other with a mixture of fright and familiarity.
The three sister turn to the creature as it gets back up.
The three of them: The Power of three will set us free! The Power of Three Will set us free! The Power of three will set us free!
The creature becomes to scream loudly and it starts to catch on fire. The sisters look on scared but keep the chant.
The three of them: The Power of three will set us free! The Power of Three Will set us free! The Power of three will set us free!
A small explosion expands from the creature before it fades into nothing.
The three sisters stare in amazement. They all drop the book ion the floor and stare at it.
Prue: O…kay.
Fade to black.
