PROTECTING PIPER

[The Halliwell Manor]

[Piper and Phoebe are sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast]

Piper: "What's up? You look sad."

Phoebe: "I´m just thinking about Cole, don't bother."

Piper: "I'm the oldest sister, I must worry."

Phoebe: "Piper, please."

Piper: "Ok, ok."

[Paige walks into the kitchen]

Paige: "Morning, sister witches. How's the baby, Piper?"

Piper: "Just fine thanks."

Paige: "Uhuh, cool."

Piper: "Cool."

Phoebe: "Ok, I gotta go to work. Don't miss me. See ya."

Piper: *sarcastically* "We won't. See ya."

[Phoebe walks out of the manor]

Paige: "She looked down."

Piper: "She was just thinking of Cole."

Paige: "Will she ever get over it?"

[Paige takes a seat beside Piper with a cup of coffee]

Piper: "Hopefully. Did you sleep well?"

Paige: "Yeah. I was watching Jay Leno show, it was fun."

Piper: "Just don´t stay up too late."

Paige: "I won't. I just couldn't sleep, so I turned on the TV and I watched it."

Piper: "Then you didn´t sleep well when you wanted to sleep."

Paige: *sarcastically* "Twist everything, great, yeah. Don't you have work to do?"

[Both of them smiles]

Piper: "Actually, I do. I need to clean up at P3."

Paige: "Ok. See you later then."

Piper: "See you."

[Piper leaves the house]

[At P3]

[Piper is singing on a song as she cleans up, and suddenly a demon appears in front of her]

Demon: "How's the baby?"

Piper: "I think he's in the kick-demon-butt- mood."

Demon: "Do you give up without a fight?"

Piper: "No comment."

[Piper tries to blow him up, but it doesn´t work]

Demon: *laughs* "You need the power of three to vanquish me."

Piper: "Won't be a problem. Leo!"

[From the demon's hands, a purple light appears. He comes closer to Piper, who takes some steps backwards]

Piper: "What is that?!"

[Leo orbs in]

Piper: "Get Paige and Phoebe!"

Leo: *looks at the demon* "Uh, ok."

[Leo orbs away to fetch Paige and Phoebe]

Demon: "They will never come in time. Will you give me your baby or do I have to kill you to get it?"

[The purple light grows bigger and when it's big enough, he throws it towards Piper who freezes it]

Piper: "Nice shot!"

[Paige and Phoebe orbs in]

Paige: "What´s the battle?"

Phoebe: "Just a demon scum."

[Phoebe runs towards the demon to kick him, she hits him and the demon falls to the floor]

Phoebe: "Easy match. Now can I go back?"

[The demon stands up and loads a purple energyball]

Paige: "Energyball!"

[The energyball appears in her hands and she throws it at him and he disappears in an explosion]

Phoebe: "Paige, orb me back to my office right away!"

Piper: "No wait!"

Paige: "What is it?"

Piper: "I don't know, I just got a feeling I could need your support."

Phoebe: "What support?"

Piper: "The demon wanted my unborn baby. What if it comes more to try to get it?"

Phoebe: "Just call for us."

Paige: "Phoebe, listen!"

Piper: "It's ok. Let's wait and see. You can go back."

Paige: "Are you sure?"

[Piper nods and Paige orbs away with Phoebe]

[Underground]

Demon #1: "We need her unborn baby. One demon has allready failed and I do not want more to fail."

Demon #2: "Why can't you just tell us why you need it?"

Demon #3: "Yeah, we want to know."

Demon #1: "You'll find out soon."

Demon #3: *sighs* "Yeah, I hope so."

Demon #2: "Come on, let´s go."

[The Halliwell Manor, evening]

Piper: *yawns* "Bed calls."

Phoebe: "Goodnight."

[Phoebe walks upstairs, she looks sad]

Paige: "Am I the only one of two people that think she is thinking a little too much about Cole?"

Piper: "Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Paige: "You say that everytime."

Piper: "Well, it's mostly true."

Paige: "Ok. I think I'm gonna go to bed aswell."

Piper: "Do that. I'm gonna go to bed soon."

Paige: "Night sweetie."

Piper: "Night. No attractions to Jay Leno please."

Paige: *sarcastically* "No, I will watch David Letterman this nite." *gives Piper a wink*

[Paige runs upstairs to her room]

[Downstairs, a demon appears in the room where Piper is. Behind her. It's demon #2 as we saw before. Demon #3 appears in front of her. Piper jumps up when she sees him]

Piper: "Who are you!?"

Demon #3: "Not your business."

[Demon #2 makes a knife appear in one of his hands and takes Piper as a hostage and threatening her with it]

[Demon #3 loads a purple light as the first demon who attacked did]

Piper: "Paige!"

Demon #2: "Ah, ah, schhh!"

[Demon #3 has loaded the purple light and throws it right into Piper´s stomach]

Piper: "Ouch!"

[Then Piper blacks out and the demons disappear. Piper lies on the floor]
