TEASER
(Stock shots of San Francisco, during the day, are shown while "Hot Summer" by Monrose plays in the background. Scene: Ocean Beach. The beach is filled with people in there bathing suits, while some surf, others swim and the rest lay in the sand and tan. At a small beach shack, Angela, in an orange bikini, is seen, surrounded by men, swallowing down her seventh shooter. A few feet away Jennifer, in a blue bikini, Skye, in a red bikini, and Greg, wearing board shorts, are staring at her, astonished.)
GREG: (to Jennifer) What have you done?
SKYE: I think she's created a monster.
JENNIFER: (turning to Skye and Greg) Relax guys, she's just having a little fun, it'll all blow-
(Skye turns Jennifer's face in Angela's direction, where a guy is doing a body shot off her.)
JENNIFER: Whoa.
GREG: I think you better get her out of there.
(Jennifer hurries toward Angela. While making her way through the crowd, a few of the surrounding guys whistle at her.)
JENNIFER: Okay guys, show's over.
ANGELA: (happily) Hey look everybody it's my sister, the bestest sister in the whole world, and she's single!
(A few of he guys "boo" as Jennifer starts dragging Angela away.)
SKYE: I see she's one of those chipper drunks.
JENNIFER: Extremely.
GREG: (preoccupied) You guys get her to the others while I'm gonna go this way…
JENNIFER: (disappointed)) What! Where are you going?
GREG: (smiling) I'm going fishing.
(Jennifer scoffs as Greg heads to a blonde girl at the bar. She and Skye make their way to their cousins, dragging Angela behind them.)
JENNIFER: Can you believe that guy?
SKYE: (arching eyebrow) He's a guy, what do you expect? Are you jealous?
JENNIFER: Jealous? Why would I be jealous?
SKYE: I don't know, you tell me.
JENNIFER: Skye, stop being delirious. I think this hot weather is getting to you.
(Cut to Hayley. Hayley, with shorter hair and a short pink sundress, is lying on her towel between Chris and Bianca and Henry and Kendall. While both couples make out, Hayley stares at them disgusted.)
HAYLEY: (sighs) Single girl on the floor here!
(Both couples continue kissing, ignoring Hayley. Jennifer and Skye laugh as they near Hayley and lay a continuously laughing Angela on her towel.)
HAYLEY: (staring at Angela) Do I wanna know?
SKYE: (smiling) Jennifer has successfully unlocked the wild witch within.
HAYLEY: I wish I could unlock the wicked witch within. I'd give anything for a little help against hormone central.
(Suddenly a volleyball hits Chris against the head.)
HAYLEY: Thank you angel from heaven above.
(A soaking wet Wyatt and Caitlyn hurry towards the group while laughing uncontrollably.)
WYATT: (laughing while taking the ball from Chris) Sorry about that bro…I was uh blinded by the sun.
CHRIS: And the ball just happened to hit me? Yeah right.
CAITLYN: Can you blame him? You guys have been kissing non stop ever since we got here.
BIANCA: (teasingly) Somebody's jealous.
CHRIS: Little Wyatt scared of going to first base.
WYATT: That's it. Volleyball battle, now.
(Wyatt hurls the ball at Chris, again, hitting him against the head. Chris jolts upward and tries to grab the ball from Wyatt who hurries away. The others soon follow the two brothers, Angela stumbling in the back. Kendall stops in her tracks and Henry hurries back to her.)
HENRY: What's up?
KENDALL: I think I should go check on Melinda.
HENRY: Wasn't Chris just there?
KENDALL: Yeah, but I'll be quick, promise.
(Kendall hurries toward the parking area. Cut to Melinda. Melinda is seated in the backseat of Wyatt's jeep. Melinda is fumbling with Joe's golden locket, twisting and turning it in her fingers. Kendall knocks on the car door. Melinda raises her head slowly and opens the window.)
KENDALL: (smiling) Hey!
MELINDA: Hey.
(A silent, awkward moment passes between the two girls.)
KENDALL: So we're gonna play volleyball…if you wanna come.
(Melinda nods, sharing a small smile with Kendall. Kendall nods back and hurries back to Henry. Cut to Henry.)
HENRY: (frowning) Anything?
KENDALL: Nope, no change.
HENRY: Well Katie finishes summer school today, hopefully she'll get through to her. It's just a matter of time.
KENDALL: (worriedly) I hope so.
(Cut to Bayview High School. Katie taps her pencil on her desk while staring at the clock. Suddenly a bell sounds through the whole school. Katie hurries out of the classroom and bumps into Tori as she rounds a corner.)
TORI: You're in my way.
KATIE: Tramp.
TORI: Bitch.
KATIE: Whore.
TORI: Freak.
KATIE: Oh really, I'm the freak? I'm not the one with the lopsided nostrils.
(Tori scoffs as Katie heads past her.)
TORI: (screaming) Ugh you…you-
(Cut to Alleyway. A female demon, Crea, wearing a large black coat and glasses is facing a shivering Sam, standing in front of a dumpster.)
CREA: Witch!
(Crea removes her glasses, revealing her eyes, which are glowing a bright emerald green. The entire alley is swallowed in an emerald green flash and an ear-piercing shriek is heard.)
(Opening Credits)
ACT ONE
(Scene: Manor. Front Porch. Katie hurries up the steps to the Manor door and knocks on the door anxiously. When nobody answers, she frowns and knocks again, this time less anxious. Suddenly Wyatt's jeep pulls up into the driveway, followed closely by Angela's car and Greg's convertible that parks beside the road. Katie's mouth drops open as everyone starts exiting the respective cars, Chris carrying Angela over his shoulder.)
KATIE: (stunned) You guys did not go to the beach without me?
(Chris passes Katie and starts to unlock the door. Katie swiftly glances at the passed out Angela before setting her sites on the rest of the group who are nearing the entrance.)
JENNIFER: What'd you expect, time to stop? Self centered much? (shouting at Chris) Just drop her in Wyatt's room!
(Cut to Inside. Chris hurries up the stairs, Bianca following suit.)
KATIE: That is exactly the kind of bitchy retort I'd expect from the hooters spokesperson.
WYATT: Guys, not now.
(Melinda hurries past Wyatt and up the stairs as Kendall and Henry grab Katie and drag her into the kitchen.)
CAITLYN: I better get going; (to Wyatt) will you drop me off at my place?
WYATT: (smiling) Sure.
(Wyatt and Caitlyn head out the house, passing Greg on their way out.)
GREG: I'd better get going too, so I can be extra studly for Candy tonight.
JENNIFER: You didn't seriously invite that girl tonight? I mean her name practically screams "whore".
GREG: Don't judge a book by its cover. Who knows, you may even like her?
(Skye snorts out loud and Jennifer turns to her. She immediately tries to cover her smile. Jennifer and Greg head out the Manor.)
SKYE: (telepathically) Not likely.
HAYLEY: I thought we agreed not to use our telepathy again till we figured that girl out.
SKYE: That was over a month ago, if this chick wanted us dead, we would be by now, don't you think?
HAYLEY: No. Evil is insidious, sneaky and well…just plain evil. We wanna be ready for this girl and that means not using our power okay.
SKYE: Fine little miss controlling.
(Cut to Kitchen.)
KATIE: (frowning) You mean she hasn't opened up to any of you?
HENRY: Nope, that's why we we're hoping that you can break her of her silence.
KATIE: Well considering her first boyfriend got grilled by a demon; I'm thinking it's a mission impossible.
KENDALL: Since when have you ever backed down from a challenge?
KATIE: You're missing my point; can you really blame her for being quiet?
HENRY: We're just worried; repressing emotions can be real dangerous amidst magic.
KATIE: (reluctant) Fine, you've made you're point. I'll see what I can do.
(Cut to Melinda's Room. Melinda is lying on her bed, facing the window and twisting Joe's locket between her fingers when Katie enters the bedroom.)
KATIE: (softly) Hey.
MELINDA: (not turning) Hey.
KATIE: (taking a seat beside Melinda) How are you?
MELINDA: I'm okay.
KATIE: You know I'm here …if you wanna talk?
MELINDA: (standing up) Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about!
KATIE: Melinda-
MELINDA: I need to get some air. See you at the club.
(Melinda grabs a coat from her desk and heads out the room, slamming the door shut behind her. Cut to Attic. Skye is lazily going through the Book of Shadows, leaning her head on her palm. Hayley enters the attic and rolls her eyes.)
HAYLEY: (sarcastic) Your enthusiasm is inspiring.
SKYE: I'm sorry but what do we expect to find? We've been going through this book for weeks and we haven't learned anything new.
HAYLEY: That doesn't mean there's nothing. This book's like really old; there has to be something.
SKYE: Well while you waste your time checking, I'll be getting ready for the club.
(Cut across town. Wyatt and Caitlyn enter Caitlyn's apartment, both giggling.)
CAITLYN: (smiling) I'll be right back.
(Caitlyn attempts to walk away but Wyatt grabs her arm and pulls her toward his chest. He leans down and starts planting kisses on her neck, wrapping her waist in his arms. Wyatt slowly moves his lips to Caitlyn's but before he can kiss her, she pushes him backwards. After a minute, she continues to her bedroom.)
WYATT: (sighs) Okay, what's up with that?
CAITLYN: What are you talking about?
WYATT: (frowning) A couple of weeks ago, I caught you in a tongue twister with Danny but somehow that's a problem with me.
CAITLYN: Don't be silly Wyatt. Nothing's up, just let it go.
(Before Wyatt can reply, Caitlyn disappears into her bedroom.)
(Scene: Manor. Wyatt's Bedroom. Angela is passed out on Wyatt's bed. Her eyes slowly open and she frowns, turning around sleepily. Jennifer enters the room with a glass of water in her left hand.)
JENNIFER: Finally awake huh?
(Angela bolts upward but immediately grabs her head.)
JENNIFER: Easy there tiger.
ANGELA: (holding her head) Uhh, I don't remember hangovers ever being this bad?
JENNIFER: That's because you've never had thirty guys serving you, here take this. (hands Angela the water and aspirin.)
ANGELA: (taking the glass) How do you know this'll work?
JENNIFER: Are you kidding? Aspirin was my friend the first year at USF.
ANGELA: (frowning) The year you failed almost everything, if I remember correctly.
JENNIFER: Whatever, you better get ready; Greg will be by any minute.
ANGELA: Just give me a few seconds.
JENNIFER: That's fine; I still have to think of a devious plan to get rid of Greg's latest bottle blonde.
ANGELA: (standing up) Why are you so hung up over him, there's a lot of fish in the sea and tonight we're going fishing.
(Angela heads past Jennifer on her way out and Jennifer slaps her on the butt, laughing. Cut to Bianca's apartment. Chris enters the apartment with a plastic bag filled with groceries. He sets it on the island and heads into the bedroom where he finds Bianca, wrapped in a towel.)
CHRIS: Well well, what do we have here?
BIANCA: (turning to Chris) Why don't you come over here and find out?
CHRIS: (nearing Bianca) Is that an official offer?
BIANCA: (raising her hand) Job update.
CHRIS: (sighing) I've got two interviews lined up for tomorrow.
BIANCA: (slowly opening her towel) Well okay then.
CHRIS: (smirks) You are so evil.
BIANCA: (smiling) That's what I've been told.
(Chris grabs Bianca and throws her on the bed and climbing atop her soon after. Shift to P3. Katy Perry is on stage, singing "California Gurls". Angela and Jennifer are in the middle of the large crowd dancing, with tons of guys surrounding them. In the back of the club, Katie, Henry and Kendall are sitting, laughing. Every few seconds, Katie glances toward the club entrance.)
KATIE: (sighs) I'll be right back.
(Katie starts toward the back exit. As she nears the exit, Tess enters through the exit door. Katie frowns.)
KATIE: (confused) Tess, what're you doing here? How'd you get past security?
TESS: Let's just say he had a little shock to the system, literally. I need help…magical help.
(Cut to Alley. Katie and Tess exit the club, stepping around the security guard.)
KATIE: So Sam just disappeared? That's not like her.
TESS: Totally, that's what's got me so worried. Are you sure we shouldn't go get the others?
KATIE: No need I can handle-
(Melinda, with head hanging low and arms crossed, heads in Katie and Tess' direction.)
KATIE: Melinda.
MELINDA: (startled) Hey… (frowns)Tess?
TESS: (hugs Melinda) Hey, How are you?
MELINDA: (rolling her eyes) Everything's fine. Other than my boyfriend being dead, everything's just peachy.
TESS: (sadly) Melinda-
KATIE: (shouting) Watch out!
(A green beam heads straight towards Tess and Katie knocks both Tess and Melinda out of the way. Crea emerges from the shadows. The girls quickly move to their feet as a Crea's glasses start glowing emerald green.)
KATIE: (anxiously) Melinda, hurry, freeze her!
(Melinda hurries forward as Crea launches an energy force through her glasses. Melinda raises her hands and accidentally explodes the projectile, knocking everyone off their feet except Katie who levitates and dodges the explosion. Melinda is knocked against the wall and lands on the floor, with her forehead bleeding. Katie hurries toward Melinda as Crea levitates to her feet. Tess hurries forward and her eyes glow a shocking blue. A lightning bolt descends from the sky, blasting Crea. Tess hurries toward Katie and they help Melinda to her feet. A few feet away, a hurt Crea removes her glasses and opens her glowing eyes. An emerald green energy, waves across the entire alley.)
BREAK
ACT TWO
(Scene: Unknown Area. Melinda, Tess and Katie wake up in a completely dark cave. The three struggle to their feet.)
KATIE: How about a little light there Tess?
(A swirling ball of blue electricity appears in Katie's palm, casting a faint blue light in the cave. The blue light reveals a long tunnel, which separates into two paths just before them. Cobwebs are seen covering the walls while skeletons and stray bones are lying on the ground.)
KATIE: (sarcastic) Okay then, nothing's creepy about this place. Do you think that demon went after Sam?
TESS: Definitely, it's too weird to be a coincidence, even with magic involved.
KATIE: So then that means she's in here somewhere…hopefully.
TESS: We have to find her.
KATIE: We wouldn't even know where we'd be going.
MELINDA: C'mon Katie, you're not afraid of a little darkness are you?
(Melinda takes the lead with Tess and Katie following her hesitantly. Shift to P3. Angela is still dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Wyatt exits his office and heads toward the bar where Caitlyn is busy wiping glasses.)
WYATT: Hey, have you seen Chris and Bianca yet?
CAITLYN: (avoiding Wyatt's gaze) They're a no show.
(A moment of silence passes between the two before Wyatt opens his mouth to speak.)
CAITLYN: I better get going, can't keep the customers waiting.
(Wyatt sighs as Caitlyn heads to the other side of the bar. Cut to Henry. Henry and Kendall are kissing each other in the back of the club. Kendall places her hands on Henry's chest and pushes him back.)
KENDALL: (smiling) We should stop?
HENRY: Yeah we should.
(Henry places his fingers on Kendall's chin and nears her lips to his as they again starts kissing. Kendall again pushes him back.)
KENDALL: Starting now.
(Henry laughs and starts tracing Kendall's lips with his thumb.)
HENRY: You are so beautiful, you know that?
(Kendall smiles before closing her eyes momentarily and releasing a small gasp.)
HENRY: (frowning) What's wrong?
KENDALL: Nothing, I just blacked out their, for a second.
HENRY: (worriedly) Should we head out?
(Kendall nods and the two stand up and head to the club exit, holding hands. As they head out, they past Jennifer standing at the bar with tall blonde girl, Candy.)
CANDY: So that's how I got my cuticles this great.
(Jennifer takes a large swig of her drink before placing a sickeningly sweet smile on her face.)
JENNIFER: (faking interest) No kidding.
CANDY: Yeah, I'm actually like a beauty guru so you can come to me anytime with your skin problem.
JENNIFER: (frowning) Excuse me?
CANDY: Oh you know it's like really oily. I have this cream-
JENNIFER: (composing herself) I'm fine thanks. What's taking Greg so long?
CANDY: I don't know but I better head to the restroom. I need to look absolutely perfect if I wanna jump that hunk's bones tonight. (laughs)
(Jennifer forces a small smile as Candy heads to the restroom. She downs her whole drink and gestures for another drink when Justin appears behind her.)
JUSTIN: (jokingly) A little early don't you think?
JENNIFER: Ha, just when I thought my torture was over. Look I've had a really crappy night so can we skip the quippy retorts and get right down to why you're here?
JUSTIN: It's Melinda and Katie, they're off my radar.
JENNIFER: (frowning) What do you mean "off your radar"?
JUSTIN: I mean they're off, gone. One minute I could sense them and the next zip.
JENNIFER: Where were they when you last sensed them?
(Cut to Alley. Jennifer, Angela and Justin enter the ally, Angela with her arms crossed tightly to her jacket. Jennifer and Justin start searching the alley.)
ANGELA: Are you sure this is legit? Cause bachelor numbers five and six we're about two share four shots with me…at the same time.
JENNIFER: (rolling her eyes) I won't even ask.
JUSTIN: It's legit okay.
JENNIFER: Well we're not gonna find anything here. I say we head to the Manor and check the Book.
(Jennifer drags a half drunk Angela to Justin and they take each others hands.)
JENNIFER: (muttering) I hate you for making me the responsible one.
(Scene: Manor. Attic. Hayley is going through the Book of Shadows while Skye is lying on the couch, bored.)
SKYE: (whining) I can't believe you telepathically annoyed me into missing Katy Perry, after you said stop using our telepathy. And there isn't even anything to worry about.
HAYLEY: It was for a good cause, besides-
(Purple energy ripples start radiating from Hayley's palms.)
HAYLEY: (awestruck) Uhh Skye…
(Skye nears Hayley, her eyes wide.)
HAYLEY: What was that you said about nothing to worry about?
(The purple energy disappears just as Justin, Angela and Jennifer orb into the attic.)
JENNIFER: Okay so-(seeing the twins) What are you guys doing here?
SKYE: (scratching her head) We were just…uh… you know… stocking up on potions... and stuff. (laughs nervously and hits Hayley's side.)
HAYLEY: (rolls her eyes at Skye) Yeah, we actually encountered a demon so…
JENNIFER: Oh really well that's great cause we're after a demon and it might just be the same one. So what did he look like?
SKYE: (nervously) Uhh-
HAYLEY: We we're sorta blocked so we didn't really get a good look.
JENNIFER: (going through the Book) Well that helps a lot.
HAYLEY: (telepathically) Once again, you stink under pressure.
(Skye makes a face at Hayley and Jennifer sighs out loud.)
JENNIFER: I don't have a clue what I'm looking for; (to Justin) will you go get Wyatt please?
(Justin nods and disappears in a cloud of orbs. Cut across the ocean. Amazon Forrest. Hex is standing beside her tomb, tracing the edges of her tomb. A gust of wind howls through the trees and Hex looks up, before smiling and turning around to face Crea.)
CREA: We have a problem.
(Hex's smile disappears immediately.)
CREA: It's Tess; she went to Katie and Melinda.
HEX: (angrily) You trapped them in the tomb. The others can't open the tomb without them.
CREA: Maybe they can-
HEX: Nine minus two does not make the Charmed circle.
(Hex turns around and raises her hand. A crystal ball materializes atop Hex's tomb. The cloudy mist inside the crystal ball disappears and Melinda, Katie and Tess are seen walking through a tunnel.)
HEX: (smiles) The others, trap them inside as well.
CREA: (frowns) What?
HEX: With everyone inside together, they may be able to escape. Opening the tomb for me.
CREA: Why do want this tomb open so badly?
(Hex's smile drops and she nears Crea. Her eyes start glowing purple and Crea falls to her knees and clutches her head in pain.)
HEX: You don't ask questions, you do as I say. Are we clear?
(Crea nods through her pain and Hex's eyes stop glowing. Crea struggles to her feet.)
HEX: (smiling) Perfect.
(Zoom into the Crystal ball. Tomb. Katie, Melinda and Tess are still going through the tunnel.)
KATIE: (whining) How much longer?
TESS: (rolls her eyes) You really need to stop that.
(The three girls enter a large cavern and as soon as they enter, fire torches, aligning the walls, light up, illuminating the whole cave. An altar of some sort is seen in the middle of the cavern and three separate tunnels are seen in the opposite side of the cave.)
KATIE: (eyes wide) And the plot thickens.
(The girls separate and Katie climbs the few steps to the altar. A single podium is seen with a circular carving on top of the podium. Katie frowns and shriek travels through the cavern. Katie hurries after Melinda and Tess who head into the middle tunnel. Cut to Sam. Sam is running from a pale figure. The figure's sleek dark hair is covering its whole face and it's wearing a dried out piece of cloth, similar to a slave's clothing. Sam rounds a corner and bumps into Melinda.)
SAM: (shocked) Melinda! What are you doing here?
(Tess and Katie hurry past the two girls toward the pale figure.)
SAM: What are they doing here?
(Tess thrusts her palm forward and hurls an electricity ball towards the figure. The electricity ricochets off the figure's skin and knocks Tess against the wall. Sam and Melinda hurry to Tess' side and Katie levitates into the air. She aims a double kick at the figure but a dark energy force blasts her back. The figure nears Katie. Melinda hurries forward. She closes her eyes and flicks her wrists and decelerates the figure's speed. Melinda helps Katie up and they hurry back the way they came, Tess and Sam following suit.)
BREAK
ACT THREE
(Scene: Manor. Attic. Wyatt and Chris are going through the Book of Shadows with Jennifer, Henry, Justin and the twins are standing opposite them. Angela is tossing and turning on Pearl's couch.)
CHRIS: (worriedly) I don't get it; if you can't sense them…doesn't that mean that they're-
JUSTIN: No, I'd definitely know if they're dead. It has to be something else. They must be cloaked or at least be in a place that is cloaked.
WYATT: But that doesn't help us at all right now. We don't even know what we're dealing with.
JENNIFER: Haven't we been here before?
HENRY: Yeah, except now we have another man down.
(Angela grumbles behind the group. Everyone turns to her.)
SKYE: Okay next time, someone needs to monitor her drinking habits.
(Angela gasps.)
(Premonition: Alley. Tess hurries towards Katie and they help Melinda to her feet. Crea removes her glasses and an emerald green flash swallows the entire alley.)
(Angela bolts upward.)
JENNIFER: Angie, was that a premonition?
(Angela nods slowly.)
ANGELA: I saw Katie and Mel and they were with Tess.
HAYLEY: (frowns) Tess?
WYATT: Did you see the demon?
(Angela starts to the Book of Shadows and feverishly goes through the pages.)
JENNIFER: Nothing like a premonition to sober you right up.
ANGELA: (makes a face at Jennifer) Got her! (reading)"Crea, a powerful demon capable of teleporting humans anywhere with her eyes. Her eyes act as a power source and when using this unique gift she becomes vulnerable to attack." A Medusa with sensitive eyes.
HENRY: How about a vanquishing potion?
ANGELA: No potion or spell.
HAYLEY: I think I have a plan…but it's risky.
(Cut to Melinda. Melinda is continuously blasting the figure backward while cautiously moving backward herself. An electricity ball knocks the figure off its feet and Melinda hurries over to Katie, Tess and Sam.)
MELINDA: (breathing heavily) I have an idea (to Tess and Sam) but I need you guys to distract that thing.
(Sam nods and she and Tess hurry toward the figure.)
MELINDA: Take my hands and concentrate.
(A confused Katie places her hands on Melinda's and Melinda starts muttering incoherent words.)
KATIE: (worriedly) Uhh Melinda…
(Cut to Manor. Attic. Crea teleports into the attic, finding all the cousins facing her.)
SKYE: (smiling) Hey there! What took you so long?
(Skye hurls a potion at Crea and explodes mid-air, blasting Crea backward. Everyone hurries out the attic except Henry and Angela. Crea struggles to her feet and Angela hurries forward, jumps in the air and kicks Crea on the chest with both feet.)
HENRY: (shouting) Crystals! Circle!
(The pirate crystals dissolve in orbs and reappear around Crea, forming a circle. Angela grabs a crystal from the circle.)
ANGELA: Where did you dump my sister?
(Crea doesn't answer and Angela places the crystal back in its previous position. The crystal cage starts electrocuting Crea. Angela pulls the crystal away.)
ANGELA: I didn't here you.
(Crea grunts and a emerald green energy wave blasts the crystals, Angela and Henry backward. Crea's eyes start to glow and Henry orbs a book at her before he and Angela retreat out of the attic. Crea dodges the book and hurries after them. Cut to middle floor. Angela and Henry hurry past Jennifer who is waiting on the middle floor. Crea hurries down the stairs but slows her pace once she sees Jennifer. She slowly descends the last few stairs. An astral Skye appears behind Crea and kicks her forward. Jennifer immediately creates a force field. She thrusts her arms forward and the force field encloses Crea. The astral Skye disappears and the real Skye exits the room and hurries downstairs. Cut to Foyer. Wyatt and Chris are standing at the foot of the stairs.)
WYATT: We've already blessed the circle, you better hurry!
(Skye nods out of breath and heads into the kitchen. A few seconds later, Jennifer is seen flying through the air, against the wall. She lands in the corner of the flight of stairs as Crea descends the stairs.)
CHRIS: (shouting) Hayley!
(Wyatt hurls an energy ball at Crea who in turn sends a green beam, flying from her palm. The projectiles cause an explosion on contact and Chris immediately raises his hands and deflects the force. It diverts its direction and flies past them. Hayley orbs in beside Jennifer and immediately grabs her, orbing out again. Chris and Wyatt hurry into the kitchen. Cut to Tess. Tess hurls an electricity ball at the figure that deflects it by conjuring an energy ripple in its path. The ball hits Tess and knocks her to the ground. Sam appears behind the figure and stabs it with an athame. The figure grabs Sam's hand, the athame having no effect on it.)
SAM: (shocked) Uhh, anytime now guys!
(Sam is telekinetically waved against the cave wall. Katie stares shocked before turning to Melinda who is still muttering incoherently. Suddenly a white energy appears between Melinda and Katie's hands.)
KATIE: (shocked) Melinda…
(Melinda gasps and raises her head, revealing her eyes, glowing a hot white color. Katie stares awe-struck as the glow between her and Melinda's hands grows stronger. Cut to Manor. Basement. Crea hurries down the basement stairs, finding all the cousins waiting for her downstairs.)
JENNIFER: Like a lamb to a slaughter.
(Hayley places a crystal behind Crea, completing a crystal cage. She hurries over to the others. The group takes each others hands.)
COUSINS: (chanting) "Evil eyes with power of force
Vanquished be now, no cry of remorse"
(The crystals create a powerful explosion and Jennifer creates a force field, protecting the group from the explosion. When the dust clears, Crea is seen, unscathed and smiling wickedly.)
CREA: (smiling) Is that the best you've got?
(Crea's eyes start glowing emerald green.)
BREAK
ACT FOUR
(Scene: Manor. Basement. The emerald glow in Crea's eyes grows as the cousins stare, hopeless. The glow starts sweeping over the entire basement. As the flash nears the cousins, a large white orb appears before the flash. The orb deflects the flash and it returns into Crea's eyes. Crea shrieks in pain and her glasses combust as the white orb deposits Melinda, Katie, Tess and Sam. Katie hurriedly levitates into the air and spin kicks Crea whose eyes are bloodshot. Katie flips in the air and lands on her feet.)
WYATT: Actually, we've got the Power of three.
(Katie and Melinda hurry to the group and grab their hands.)
ANGELA: (chanting) "Power of three, we summon thee"
CHRIS: (chanting) "Eternally blind, Vanquished you'll be"
(Crea shrieks as smoke appears in her eyes. The smoke grows, encircling her entire body. Finally, the smoke combusts, blasting a gust of wind in every direction.)
KATIE: Now that's what I call a vanquish.
(The group erupts in laughter as "Belle of the Boulevard" by Dashboard Confessional starts playing in the background. Stock shots of San Francisco at night are shown. Shift to Angela's Apartment. Angela is sleeping in her bed while Jennifer is throwing a small blanket over her. Jennifer smiles and exits the bedroom. She retrieves her cell phone from her pocket and dials a number.)
GREG'S VOICE: Hey there, You didn't even say goodbye but don't worry I'm sure Candy will keep me company. Sweet dreams, I know I'll have.
(Jennifer ends the call and shakes her head. She grabs popcorn from a cupboard and empties it in a large bowl. When she turns to the living room, Justin is seen standing in front of her.)
JUSTIN: (smiling) You weren't gonna eat that all by yourself were you?
(Jennifer smiles and heads to the living room followed closely by Justin. Shift to Caitlyn's Apartment. Knocking is heard and a sleepy Caitlyn opens the door, revealing Wyatt on the other side. Wyatt cups Caitlyn's face and plants his lips on hers, kissing her passionately. After a few minutes Caitlyn pulls away.)
CAITLYN: (smiles) I better get to bed, I have a tough boss.
WYATT: (snorts) See you tomorrow, bright and early.
(Wyatt pecks Caitlyn's cheek before exiting. Caitlyn closes the door behind him and turns, a hesitant smile appears on her face. Shift to Henry. Henry is lying on his bed with a telephone to his ear. A beep is heard.)
HENRY: Hey there, it's me…
(Shift to Kendall. She heads slumps into her bathroom and rubs her eyes. She drinks a glass of water and sets it down, looking at the mirror in front of her.)
HENRY (o/s): …I guess you're probably asleep so I'm just gonna hang up now. Love you.
(A vein is seen bulging just under Kendall's eye. Her eyes grow dark before returning to normal. A beep is heard. Shift to Katie. Katie is sitting on her bed with a telephone to her ear.)
KATIE: Hey Henry, it's me.
(Cut to Henry.)
HENRY: (frowns) Katie?
(Cut to Katie.)
KATIE: Uhuh, listen I'm worried about Melinda, like majorly worried…
(Shift to Melinda. Melinda climbs into her bed but before resting her head, she retrieves a book from underneath her pillow entitled "Dark Magic: Spells and Incantations". She returns to its previous spot and lies down, closing her eyes. Shift to Twins. Hayley is lying on her bed when Skye enters.)
HAYLEY: (frowning) What are you doing up?
SKYE: (worriedly) I'm scared.
HAYLEY: (frowns) What?
(Skye takes a seat beside Hayley who is now sitting up right.)
SKYE: (teary eyes) Something is wrong with us and I don't know what…and not knowing…it scares me.
(Hayley wraps Skye in her arms.)
HAYLEY: Everything will be fine. I promise. I'll figure this out…I have to.
(Hayley sneaks a worried glance at her hands. Shift to Bianca's Apartment. Chris creeps into the bed beside a sleeping Bianca. Bianca stirs.)
BIANCA: (sleepily) Did the bad guys win?
CHRIS: No, they lost.
BIANCA: (frowns) Then what's bugging you?
CHRIS: (worriedly) Nothing, it's just-it's just that I can't shake this feeling that it was too easy, you know? Like there's more…something much more…
(Shift to Amazon Forrest. Hex telekinetically thrusts her tomb out of the way, revealing a staircase, going deep into the earth, below. She starts descending the stairs.)
CHRIS (o/s): …Dark out there.
(Hex arrives underneath the ground, finding a large rock wall, blocking her path. She lightly grazes the wall with her fingers.)
