Paige: That's cool.

Curtis: So how about you?

Paige: I was adopted too. But my parents were killed in a car accident, and just recently and met two sisters that I didn't know I had.

Curtis: So I guess I'm not the only one with a weird life.

Paige: I guess not.

Curtis: Sorry.

Paige: That's okay. So why did you get into teaching?

Curtis: I see young minds getting corrupted everyday. I just want to save some of those young minds.

Paige: That is really nice of you. Curtis: I think what you do is great too. Helping unfortunate young children find happiness, but not only them, but the parents that adopt them.

Paige: You are really sweet.

Curtis senses a demon outside of the restaurant.

Curtis: I'll be right back.

Paige: Okay.

Curtis stands up and heads toward the rest room. Curtis looks around and disappears.

Piper: I wonder how Paige is doing on her date?

Phoebe: Who knows? Leo orbs in.

Paige: What the hell was that?

Phoebe: What is going on? How did you do that?

Curtis: I'm a slayer.

Leo: Aren't slayers evil.

Curtis: I'm the only slayer with a soul. See slayers are born without a soul and that's way they are evil, but a powerful witch gave me a soul as a child.

Paige: Who?

Curtis: Your mother.

Piper: Our mother gave you a soul.

Curtis: Yes.

Phoebe: That's why you are good and not evil.

Curtis: Exactly.

Piper: Is there any other slayers here?

Curtis: Not that I know of. Though I think there maybe some one after me.

Paige: Who?

Curtis: I don't know.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Seth appears in the warehouse.

Craig: Is he here?

Seth: He's here. He joined with the Charmed Ones.

Craig: We need to the find The Ring of Darkness in order to turn Curtis evil.

Seth: We have to separate him from the charmed ones.

Craig: How do you suppose we do that?

Cole appears in the warehouse. Cole: I can help you.

Cole's eyes turn black and flames.

Craig: The source. You're alive.

Cole: I've heard of Curtis. Very strong slayer.

Seth: He's the strongest slayer and he was the most evil.

Cole: Really. Enlighten me.

Seth: At the age of eighteen he was the most evil slayer killing anything good. He killed many good witches, and with the ring of darkness his soul with disappear and the charmed one's power will have no affect on him.

Cole: Then there is only one thing to do. We need to get the ring.

Setting: Manor

Leo: Curtis, is there anything that can take your soul away?

Curtis: No. I think I should go, because if there are any other slayers out there they'll sense me. I don't want to put anyone in danger. I'll see you later.

Curtis disappears.

Piper: I don't know about him.

Paige: He saved us.

Leo: He's a good slayer, but if he does turn evil I have a feeling that he will be a force that can kill.

Setting: Curtis's Apartment

Curtis's appears in his apartment. A few seconds later Seth and Craig appear in the apartment.

Curtis: Seth, Craig what do you want?

Seth: You. We want you to be our leader.

Curtis: Never.

Craig: We don't want to kill you, but we will if we have too. Curtis: Do that and I can never be your leader.

Seth: You will be our leader soon.

Curtis: Looks like I'm not the only slayer that exists.

Paige has a surprised look on her face.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Seth and Craig appear in the warehouse. Cole appears right after.

Cole: So what is the deal?

Seth: We better find the ring.

Cole: Are you sure that this ring will work?

Craig: Well find out when we find it, but the bigger picture is how do we get it on Curtis's finger?

Cole: We'll worry about that later. Let's just find the ring first.

Seth starts sensing for the ring.

Seth: I know where it is. I'll get it myself.

Seth disappears.

Cole: I better get back to the girls.

Cole disappears.

Setting: Curtis's Apartment

Paige: So now we have two slayers here.

Curtis: I wonder what they meant by me becoming their leader.

Paige: But wouldn't that mean you would turn evil.

Curtis: The ring of darkness.

Paige: What?

Curtis: I can't believe I forgot about that. My master told me about this ring that can kill someone's soul and turn that person evil. But not only that no magic would affect this person. Only slayers can wear the ring.

Paige: Then why doesn't one of the other slayers wear it.

Curtis: The slayer has to have a soul in order for the ring to work, and only the strongest slayer can where the ring.

Paige: Where is the ring?

Curtis: I don't know. Maybe I can sense it.

Paige: Try it.

Piper: There you are. What the hell is going on?

Paige: There are two more slayers here aside from Curtis, but those two are evil.

Phoebe: Are these slayers planning something?

Paige: Yeah. They're trying to turn Curtis evil, so he becomes their leader.

Cole enters.

Cole: If Curtis becomes evil we are all doomed.

Phoebe: Cole. I didn't see you come in.

Setting: Asia

Seth appears in front of a mountain. Seth senses for the ring again.

Seth: It's in the mountain. Interesting.

Seth starts looking around and finds an odd shaped rock. Seth pushes the rock and the side of the mountain opens. Suddenly Curtis appears behind Seth. Seth turns around.

Seth: Are you ready to die?

Curtis: No, but I know you are.

Setting: Manor

Piper: Maybe Leo knows something about this ring. Leo.

Leo orbs in.

Leo: What is it?

Piper: Have you heard of something called the ring of darkness.

Leo: Yeah. Only the strongest slayer can wear the ring, and the slayer must have a soul. When he wears the ring the soul dies and he become immune to any magic. Not only that, but he becomes pure evil.

Paige: We have to make sure that ring never goes on Curtis's hand.

Phoebe: Leo can you locate the ring.

Leo senses for the ring.

Leo: I can't locate the ring, but sense two slayers fighting.

Paige: Curtis.

Piper: Let's go.

Cole: I'll stay here.

Phoebe: Okay.

Phoebe gives Cole a kiss.

Leo and Paige orb the others to Curtis's location.

Curtis: PAIGE!!!

Piper: Don't worry Curtis. Hit Seth with an energy ball.

Curtis: What?

Piper: Do it.

Setting: Int. Mountain

Craig appears in the mountain sees the ring floating over a rock. Craig grabs the ring and disappears.

Setting: Ext. Mountain

Seth: See you later.

Seth disappears.

Paige: What happened?

Curtis: They got the ring.

Piper: What? How?

Curtis: Just before Seth disappears I sensed Craig inside the mountain. After Craig disappears I didn't sense the ring anymore.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Seth and Craig appear.

Craig: I have the ring.

Seth: Good. Now we figure out a plan to get the ring on his finger.

Cole appears.

Cole: Leave that to me.

Setting: Manor

Curtis: Great. Seth and Craig have the ring.

Cole: But isn't it the ring useless if you're not wearing it.

Curtis: But it's still a possibility that they may get it on my finger.

Piper: Let's not jump to conclusions. They have the ring, but we have Curtis here. We won't let him out of our sight.

Paige: I'll stay with him.

Curtis: Listen, I have to get home and get a few things. Paige: I'll go with you.

Phoebe: You two be careful.

Curtis: We will.

Curtis disappears and Paige orbs out.

Leo: We can't let Seth get the ring on Curtis's finger. If he does Curtis is too strong for us to deal with.

Cole: I have to get to work, but fill me in on whatever happens.

Phoebe: We will.

Phoebe gives Cole a kiss. Cole leaves the room.

Piper: How evil can Curtis get?

Leo: The story that Curtis told you isn't totally accurate.

Piper: What does that mean?

Leo: Curtis said that he was given a soul as a child, but the truth is that he was given a soul as an adult.

Phoebe: What?

Leo: The elders told me that a soul was created for a slayer that could not be killed. We tried to kill Curtis, but we failed. So then instead of killing him we gave him a soul.

Piper: Then you wouldn't have to kill him.

Leo: Yes, but Curtis killed witches, wizards, humans especially.

Piper: Did Curtis lie to us?

Leo: No. I think he's got his story mixed up. When he was given a soul his memory of being evil doesn't exist.

Piper: We cannot let that ring get on Curtis's finger.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Cole appears.

Seth: How are going to get the ring on Curtis's finger?

Cole: By giving him no choice but to wear it.

Seth: And how are you going to do that?

Cole: Attack the ones that he loves. Paige.

Seth: He is good. He won't let any of the witches die.

Cole: This is the plan.

Setting: Curtis's Apartment

Paige orbs in and Curtis appears in the apartment.

Paige: Tell me about your powers. How do they work?

Curtis: My actual power is that I can sense people's energy levels.

Paige: How does that work?

Curtis: Well humans have their own energy signal, then say witches have their own and so on.

Paige: That's how you knew that ring was stolen and who did it. But what about the energy balls and being able to teleport.

Curtis: Those powers learned by training and since we're killers.

Paige: All of you have that power.

Curtis: Got it. There's something that I want to tell you, but please don't get mad at me.

Paige: What is it?

Curtis: What I told you and the others is not true.

Paige: What do you mean?

Curtis: I didn't receive my soul as child, but as a teenager.

Paige: What?

Curtis: I killed many people in my evil life, but I had no memory of what I did.

Paige: How do you know it now?

Curtis: I sensed it out of Leo's head.

Paige looks deep into Curtis's eyes. Curtis and Paige start kissing.

Setting: Manor

Piper: Where are Paige and Curtis?

Seth appears.

Seth: You will not stop evil from happening. Curtis will turn evil.

Phoebe: We will stop you from turning Curtis evil.

Seth disappears.

Piper: We better find out what this ring is and anything on the slayers in the book of shadows.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Setting: Manor

Phoebe: I found the ring. The Ring of Darkness and there is no way to neutralize it.

Cole walks into the attic.

Cole: Hey.

Phoebe: Hey. This ring is awesome, and we can't neutralize its power.

Piper and Paige come running into the room.

Cole: What happened?

Piper: Curtis ran off after Seth, and we have no idea where he is.

Paige hears Curtis telepathically.

Curtis: Help me Paige.

Phoebe: What's the matter?

Piper: Can you tell where he is.

Paige: I don't know.

Phoebe: Try to do what Curtis does.

Paige senses for Curtis's energy signal.

Paige: They're coming here.

Piper: What? Everyone runs downstairs and Seth and Craig with Curtis appear in the room.

Seth: Now you three will watch Curtis turn evil.

Piper freezes Seth and Craig and Paige grabs the ring from Seth. Seth and Craig breaks out of the frozen state. Seth fires an energy blast at Paige. Paige goes flying across the room. The ring goes flying into Seth's hand.

Seth: Now it's time

Curtis fires an energy beam at Phoebe shoulder. Phoebe hits the ground in pain. Paige comes running out.

Paige: Stop it.

Seth and Craig appear next to Curtis.

Curtis: We will kill all three of you. Your mom gave me a soul and that is worst thing I can ever feel. I did good things to save humankind.

Seth: It's time to take your rightful place as our leader.

Curtis fires an energy blast at Paige. Paige goes sliding into the house and hits a wall.

Curtis: I am the leader of the slayers.

Curtis, Seth and Craig disappear. Leo heals Phoebe and Paige.

Setting: Abandoned Warehouse

Curtis: The time has come to kill the witches.

Seth: What about bringing out slayers back to life and taking this planet.

Curtis: We will do that, but killing the witches is personal.

Setting: Manor

Paige is in the living room by herself. Curtis appears.

Paige: Curtis.

Curtis: Don't get your hopes up witch. I just wanted to tell you that you and your sisters will pay for my pain and agony, and accept the fact that your boyfriend is dead.
