The Power of 5

AN: This is C and D. It's taken us a while but finally we have it. K has outlined the details for you so hopefully you know what's going on. A reminder: Our series will stick close to canon but will differ. You will see Chris's name in Bold and one of his lines which means he is using telepathy. We have checked over the episode but if there are mistakes do forgive us.

This is an original episode and we hope you like it.

CUT TO:

INT. RYAN'S HOUSE – LIVING ROOM

(A man and a woman are sitting on a couch. The woman is hugging the man. She has relieved look on her face while the man has one of disbelief.)

RYAN: Wait are you being serious?

MARNIE: You don't remember?

RYAN: Bits but that's about it.

MARNIE: You poor thing. Well at least your alive that's the main thing. I don't have to worry about organising a funeral. (The woman chuckles before turning her face serious.)

RYAN: (He smiles.) You organise a funeral for me. Ha. I'd kill to see the day. You couldn't even organise a get together for my birthday.

MARNIE: That was a long time ago. Besides It's not my fault Mom gave me the job of inviting your friends when you barely had any. (She stifles a laugh.)

RYAN: Cheap shot. (He smirks.) So did you tell the others?

MARNIE: No. Melody probably wouldn't of been able to handle it. Richard is away for the weekend and Vanessa well she's only just found out about Magic. I didn't want to be the one to tell her that her fiancé had just been dying.

RYAN: Good point. What about Mom?

MARNIE: (Solemn and looks down.) I couldn't.

RYAN: Marnie! What if I had died?

MARNIE: I wasn't going to let that happen. (Defensively.) Ryan just cause your my big brother doesn't mean for a second that I can't protect you either. Besides after everything that happened with Dad I couldn't . You know what happened.

RYAN: I know that Marns but still...

(All of a sudden the lights go out. The house is in complete darkness.)

MARNIE: What the hell? (Both stand up.) Did you get a power cut?

RYAN: (Alert.) I don't think so.

MARNIE: I was afraid you was gonna say that.

(There is a cold chill in the air.)

RYAN: (Urgently.)Marnie you should leave now.

DEMON: She won't be going anywhere.

(Ryan conjures a fireball in the air and thrusts it forward towards the demon. The demons just sidesteps it.)

MARNIE: You? Why are you here?

RYAN: Marnie! (He shouts and conjures another a fire ball in the air) Go!

DEMON: Did you really think you could trick me witch?

MARNIE: I gave you a wiccan power just like you wanted.

DEMON: You gave me the feeble ability of floating. I wanted his. ( A cold smile crosses his face in the dim light of the fire ball) But no matter It just means I'll take the power and his life.

(Ryan again thrusts the fireball at the demon but he shimmers out of the room.)

RYAN: Ok you need to leave now.

MARNIE: No way I'm not letting him hurt you again.

(The demon shimmers back in behind Ryan.)

DEMON: You don't have a choice.

(He touches Ryan and black lines begin to appear on his skin. Marnie is horrified.)

DEMON: (Mockingly) Oh didn't you know? (Let's Ryan drop to the floor. He is unconscious on the floor.) I can speed up the process of my power witch.

MARNIE: Stop it. (She drops to her knees next to Ryan. Tears are rolling down her face.) Please!

DEMON: You did this witch not me. I told you to give me his powers if you wanted him to live and you gave me someone else's. Now you must pay the price for your deceit.

MARNIE: Please I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. Please. I swear just don't kill him. Please, please, please don't do this.

DEMON: You'll make it up to me?

(She nods.)

DEMON: Is that a promise?

MARNIE: (whispers) I promise.

DEMON: Ok give me his power. (He then removes an amulet from around his neck.)

(She hesitates and looks at Ryan who is dying. She takes a shaky breath before giving a defeated look.)

MARNIE: "The power of fire that which he holds, forever more shall be unknown, Remove this gift, take it away, towards the amulet, don't let it stay."

(A yellow light springs out of Ryan's chest and fly's into the amulet which glows blue then stops.)

DEMON: Thank you Marnie.

MARNIE: Now please help him.

DEMON: But of course.

(He bends down and touches Ryan face. The black lines begin to swirl very fast. Ryan begins to glow. After a few minutes the whites of his eyes can be seen. He is dead.)

MARNIE: Noooooo. (Grabs Ryan's head.) No. No. (Sob whispers.) Why?

DEMON: (sweet voice.) I helped him. I put him out of misery just like you asked me too.

MARNIE: (solemn whisper.) You killed him. (She sobbed and looked at her brother.)

DEMON: Yes and now I'm gonna kill you.

(The demon then grabs her from the floor. Marnie looks at him with glassy eyes but fear is emanating from her eyes. He then places his hand on her face and black lines begin to swirl onto her face. He drops Marnie on the floor next to Ryan.

DEMON: However your gonna go nice and slow. I think three days is a nice number. (He smirks and is about shimmer but stops and looks at Marnie.) Oh yeah thanks for the new power bitch. (He laughs and shimmers out completely.)

ON MARNIE AND RYAN.

She is left dying with black lines swirling all over her skin. Ryan is dead.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - KITCHEN

(Prue is sitting at the table with reading glasses on. She is staring at a piece paper in her hand. There several other papers on the table. Phoebe walks in and see's Kit.)

PHOEBE: Hello Kit. (Bends down and pets her.) I am so glad we kept her. Morning Prue.

PRUE: Morning? If I recall I would say it's coming up for quarter past 1. ( Still looking at the papers)

PHOEBE: Ah same difference. (walking up to the coffee machine.)

PRUE: Late night? (Looking back at her before turning to the papers again.)

PHOEBE: Something like that. (She smirks.) Hey weren't you supposed to be going to an interview today?

PRUE: I already went.

PHOEBE: Oh how did it go?

PRUE: (looks back to Phoebe.) Well let's put it like this. A special man like that guy deserves a special finger.

PHOEBE: That bad huh?

PRUE: He was rude, self absorbent, arrogant and a sexist pig. He was Roger just better looking.

PHOEBE: Yikes.

PRUE: Yeah and check this he said "You know if you had a better looking rack you could be our cover girl."

PHOEBBE: (She scoffs.) What a bastard.

PRUE: (Sighs.) Yeah but at this rate I might have to take the job.

PHOEBE: What?

PRUE: Out of all the jobs I've applied for this one has the best pay. I told you Phoebe we can't afford to live on one salary. Piper has been working double shifts and as much as you have signed up for welfare checks it's not gonna be enough to live on.

PHOEBE: Yeah but Prue come on. You can't work for some sleaze ball whose gonna rate your rack.

PRUE: What would you like me to do Phoebe? We need to pay the bills to keep the house and we can't just sponge off the inheritance money grams left especially since we had to put some that money to repairing the stairs , the window and the grand father clock.

PHOEBE: Look just promise me you'll keep looking ok.

PRUE: I can keep looking but if I decide to take the job that's it.

PHOEBE: Thank you.

PRUE: Uh huh.

PHOEBE: What are you doing now? ( Walking over and standing behind Prue looking over her shoulder.)

PRUE: Looking at the bills Phoebe.

PHOEBE: Now?

PRUE: Why not?

PHOEBE: Well you could be doing anything else.

PRUE: Like what?

PHOEBE: Having fun. Whilst you have the time.

PRUE: Phoebe I'm not you.

PHOEBE: Wow hitting below the belt with a cheap shot. How very Prue of you.

PRUE: Look I'm just saying. I don't have time too...

PHOEBE: lounge around? Have fun? Oh because your so busy working.

PRUE: Paying the bills. Going to the dry cleaners or grocery store still counts as work. Office or no office. There important tasks.

PHOEBE: I'm not saying they aren't Prue.

PRUE: Then what are you saying Phoebe? Enlighten me.

PHOEBE: Ever since you quit your job you have been doing every single little task to fill your time. Your becoming obsessive like Piper does when she starts cleaning.

PRUE: Oh that's a point I should later clean the gutter.

PHOEBE: Ok who are you and what have you done with my sister?

PRUE: Phoebe!

PHOEBE: I'm being serious. Even when the repair men came you were helping them.

PRUE: We were in need of repair work. Could only afford a few guys so I helped. What's the big deal?

PHOEBE: You've been so obsessive. I bet you didn't even notice Andy's been calling. Let me guess Piper had to tell you?

PRUE: Wait, wait. Andy's been calling?

PHOEBE: Yeah for the past week.

PRUE: Well why didn't you tell me?

PHOEBE: I thought Piper did.

PRUE: Piper has barely been here. She's working double shifts Phoebe.

PHOEBE: Sorry. I didn't know, you didn't know.

PRUE: (She huffs in frustration.) He probably thinks I'm avoiding him or something.

PHOEBE: Well why don't you call him. Or better yet go and see him instead of becoming a grandma around here. He probably still wants that date.

PRUE: Phoebe you know I can't do that.

PHOEBE: Prue I have already been on two dates this week. Me being a witch has not affected that what so ever. Stop worrying and enjoy the free time because you aren't gonna have it when your working or chasing demons.

PRUE: (She sighs.) I am not going on any dates Phoebe but I will go and see him and explain something.

(Prue takes off the glasses and puts down the paper. She then stands up and grabs her car keys off the hook and turns to look at Phoebe. Who is staring at her.)

PRUE: I just can't ok! Andy can never find out about this part of my life.

(Prue leaves the kitchen. Phoebe stands there shaking her head.)

EXT. STREET - BUCKY'S - DAY

CUT TO:

INT. BUCKY'S - OFFICE

(Paige Is talking to a man behind a desk.)

PAIGE: It would mean the world to me if you could write one.

BUCKY: hmmmmm Let's see your lippy with the customers and tend to be late for work. Hmmm Should I write Paige a recommendation? (He smirks.)

PAIGE: I'm not lippy. (Bucky raises his brow.) Not completely.

BUCKY: Alright Paige but I'm gonna be sad to see you go.

PAIGE: Well you knew I wasn't staying here forever besides I have not quit yet I still got a while before actually leave. I have a few things to do before I can start the job fully.

BUCKY: Your Lucky I'm letting you stay. (They both smile.) I'll write it this evening I've got some emails to look at so send me one and that will remind me to write it.

PAIGE: Thanks Buck.

BUCKY: Yeah, Yeah but if I'm losing you that means I'm working you extra shifts while I've still got you. I fired Abby and Oliver this week and have hired two new girls.

PAIGE: Why?

BUCKY: They were stealing from me.

PAIGE: No.

BUCKY: I know not sweet Abby and Oliver. I couldn't believe it myself.

PAIGE: Wow you think you know somebody.

BUCKY: Tell me about it but like I said two new girls. You'll meet them next week.

PAIGE: Ok.

BUCKY: That's a point how has your rest been?

PAIGE: Well I was in bed for the first few days in aches and pains but I've recovered.

BUCKY: Oh so you could work tomorrow? (A grin spreads across his face.) Jenna is off tomorrow.

PAIGE: Actually no. (Bucky pulls a face. Paige thinks.) Because I'm going to the hospital for a check up.

BUCKY: Oh.

PAIGE: Yeah. Just to be safe.

BUCKY: Oh alright I guess I'll see you Monday then.

PAIGE: Will do.

(Paige stands and leaves the office. She walks down the stairs into the main dining room. She bumps into someone causing them to drop their tray.)

PAIGE: Oh my god I'm so sorry. (Bends over to pick the cutlery and tray. The girl does the same.)

DESTINY: No I am. I wasn't concentrating.

PAIGE: No honestly it was my fault.

DESTINY: No really. (Both just laugh.)

PAIGE: Wow we're arguing over broken cutlery.

DESTINY: I guess we are. (She smiles.)

PAIGE: I'm Paige. (Holds her hand out.)

DESTINY: (Shakes her hand.) Destiny.

PAIGE: Nice to meet you.

DESTINY: Same here.

PAIGE: Are you new? (Continues to pick up the stuff on the floor.)

DESTINY: Yeah third Day. You work here?

PAIGE: Yeah I had an accident last week so I've had some time off. (Both then stand up.)

DESTINY: It wasn't anything too serious I hope.

PAIGE: Nah just a fender bender nothing to worry about.

DESTINY: Well your alive that's the main thing.

PAIGE: Absolutely.

DESTINY: Oh my god I Love your outfit where did you get it?

PAIGE: Oh I was in Boston a while back and went to Gretta Luxe. They have one up town now.

DESTINY: No way.

PAIGE: Way.

DESTINY: Oh my god I have to go there.

PAIGE: Oh definitely. I haven't been too the San Francisco branch either.

DESTINY: Hey perhaps we should go together sometime.

PAIGE: Yeah I'd like that. What's your days?

DESTINY: Weekdays. 9 - 5

PAIGE: Oh great we have the same shift.

DESTINY: Yeah so does Maya the other new girl. She's really nice.

PAIGE: Alright at some point we should all go. Why don't we talk about it next week.

DESTINY: Sure.

PAIGE: It was good meeting you Destiny.

DESTINY: The same to you Paige. And thanks (She points to the tray.)

PAIGE: (She nods.) I'll see you Monday.

DESTINY: See ya.

(Paige walks to the door and outside onto the street. She walks down the street and around the corner into an alleyway whilst pulling out her car keys out of her purse. She is about to unlock her car when she hears a shout. There is an older woman struggling with a man dressed in black. He is pulling at her purse.

WOMAN: Help, help.

PAIGE: Hey.

(The man notices Paige. He pushes the woman onto the floor and grabs the bags begins to run and Paige goes after him. As she turns the next corner she can see he's about to get away.)

PAIGE: Hey (She holds out her hand.) Stop.

(All of sudden a blue bubble appears in front of the man and he bounces off it and onto the floor. Paige stares at her hands in shock.)

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - GREENERY – DAY

JADE: How are...

CHRIS: Where have you been? Haven't seen you in a while.

JADE: Just been doing some stuff.

CHRIS: Like what?

JADE: Nothing Important. How are you?

CHRIS: Never better.

JADE: Come on Chris talk to me.

CHRIS: I'm fine Jade.

JADE: That's not what Dustin says.

CHRIS: Dustin says a lot of things.

JADE: He said you've been sleeping rough. That you've been having nightmares. Have you?

CHRIS: Jade you know I love you to bits but I don't want to talk about this.

JADE: Chris I know it's hard losing someone you love but it's times like this when you can't push people away. It makes it harder on you. As your friend I'm asking you to not push me away.

CHRIS: (irritated.) I'm not pushing you away.

JADE: Then talk to me.

CHRIS: Look this is not the time Jade. (Makes his way to get up.)

JADE: Chris (She puts her hand on his arm.) You lost your Mom and brother. I can't Imagine what your feeling right now but I need you to know as your friend I'm here for you.

CHRIS: I know you are.

JADE: So how are you doing?

CHRIS: (He sighs.) I'm managing.

JADE: What about Aidy and the twins?

CHRIS: Everyone is shaken up about it.

JADE: What did the police say?

CHRIS: That Mom went crazy and killed Adam. (He chokes slightly on his name and looks away from her.) She couldn't bare living with the guilt so she killed herself.

JADE: I'm so sorry Chris.

CHRIS: That's not even the worst of it.

JADE: What is?

CHRIS: She kidnapped us. Wanted kids. Adam found out and paid the price for it.

JADE: Oh Chris. (She hugs him.) I'm really sorry.

CHRIS: Don't be. How could you of known?

JADE: I know but still I wish I could of helped in someway.

CHRIS: (he gives a sad smile.) Yeah me too.

JADE: So what's been happening since?

CHRIS: We've been given into the custody of our aunt. Well Aidy and the twins have. I'm just sort of there.

JADE: Your aunt? I thought your parents were both only children.

CHRIS: (Uncomfortable.) We didn't know about our aunt. Mom was sick. (Looks away and looks down.) She had mental issues. Ran away and that sort of stuff.

JADE: Oh wow.

CHRIS: Yeah.

JADE: What's she like? Your aunt.

CHRIS: She's nice.

JADE: Just nice.

CHRIS: I'm not really in the bonding mood so I can only tell you she's nice.

JADE: Maybe if you give it a...

CHRIS: I'm trying with others already I don't have the energy to try with more people right now.

JADE: What does that mean?

CHRIS: (Shakes his head.) Nothing.

(There is an awkward silence between the two. Jade stares at Chris before choosing her next words carefully.)

JADE: Is there gonna be a funeral?

CHRIS: Yeah. It's being planned as we speak.

JADE: Both of them?

CHRIS: Yeah.

JADE: Well you let me know when and I'll be there. That's of course if you want me there.

CHRIS: (He nods his head.) Thanks.

JADE: Your one of my best friends. I want to be able to support you.

CHRIS: Your a really good friend Jade.

JADE: (Smiles.) I know am. (Kisses him on the cheek.) See ya later Chris.

CHRIS: See ya Jade.

(She gets up and leaves. Chris just stares into the distance with a sad look on his face.)

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. – DAY
(Prue is walking up to the station.)
INT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. – BREAK ROOM

(Paige is sitting at a desk with Andy who is writing down some information.)

ANDY: Ok so explain to me what happened.

PAIGE: I already told your colleague. The guy knocked himself out.

ANDY: Miss Matthews I want to believe you but even if this guy had ran into a wall he wouldn't go about 5 feet backwards. When the responding officer arrived at the scene he was no where near a wall and you were in the middle of the alleyway. So something is not adding up. Now I like you, it takes guts to chase down a criminal even if your not supposed too. I need you to tell me the truth. What really happened?

PAIGE: (Agitated.) I already told you what happened.

ANDY: Did you assault him mam?

PAIGE: No.

ANDY: Then what happened?

PAIGE: Oh my god. (Hangs her head down.)

ANDY: (Sighs.) Miss Matthews things would be a lot easier if you just cooperate.

PAIGE: I am. Your the one who is just repeating himself.

ANDY: I have three statements here. All three of the beginning's match. The ends do not.

PAIGE: Look I told you what happened.

ANDY: Yes but what your telling me makes no sense.

PAIGE: What do you want from me?

ANDY: The truth.

PAIGE: I gave you the truth.

ANDY: What happened that is so scary that you can't explain how you managed to stop a thief.

PAIGE: I told you he ran into the wall. That is the truth whether you like it or not.

(Paige puts her head down again. Andy sighs. Just then Prue can be seen walking up to him.)

PRUE: Andy Hi.

ANDY: Prue!

(Paige lifts her head up.)

PAIGE: Prue!

PRUE: (turns to her.) Paige!

ANDY: (points his finger.) You two know each other?

(They share a look and speak at the same time.)

PRUE: Not really.

PAIGE: Barely.

(They glare at each other. Andy looks between the two of them.)

ANDY: Are you sure?

PRUE: We recently met. That's why we barely know each other.

(Andy stares at them again. Something clicks in his brain.)

ANDY: I thought you looked familiar. You came out of the manor last week. I never forget a face.

PRUE: What's going on here anyway because I'm no doubt interrupting.

ANDY: I was taking a statement from Miss Matthews and asking a few questions.

PRUE: What happened?

ANDY: Well she saw a bad guy. Chased after him. And somehow took him out.

PRUE: (Looks to Paige with suspicion.) Really?

PAIGE: I didn't take him out and it was no big deal. (Glares at Prue before turning her attention to Andy.) Look detective are you charging me?

ANDY: I haven't got anything to charge you with.

PAIGE: Then I'd like to leave please.

(Andy stares at her for a minute. Prue looks at him nervously.)

ANDY: Your free to Leave.

PAIGE: (sarcastic.) Thanks (Gets up to leave.)

PRUE: Paige you remember that business proposition I was talking to you about last week?

PAIGE: (Sighs.) Sure. What about it?

PRUE: Can I talk to you about it in a minute.

PAIGE: Actually I have to get...

PRUE: It will only take a couple of minutes. Please just wait outside for me.

PAIGE: (Agitated.) Fine. I'll be outside.

(Paige turns around and walks from them until she's out of sight.)

ANDY: Interesting relationship you have with Miss Matthews. Exactly what kind of business proposition are you striking up when your unemployed and She's a waitress.

PRUE: (Angry.) Andy you have no right to check up on me and then ask personal questions.

ANDY: (lowers his voice.) Well you've been ignoring my calls all week I had to make sure you weren't dead and I didn't check up. Phoebe told me.

PRUE: Look Andy...

ANDY: Just tell me that you don't want to see me Prue! I'm big boy I can handle it. I would prefer that then playing cat and mouse with you.

PRUE: Andy its not like that.

ANDY: Then what is it like?

PRUE: It's complicated.

ANDY: What is?

PRUE: Things.

ANDY: What things?

PRUE: Look Andy...

ANDY: You know what Prue I have a lot of work to do and I'm not on break. It was good seeing you.

(He picks some papers on his desk and walks off. Prue stands there watching him walk off. She wipes a single tear from her eye.)

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. – DAY

(Prue walks up to Paige.)

PRUE: (Angry.) What he hell was that?

PAIGE: (Sarcastic.) And hello to you too.

PRUE: (Lowers her voice.) Did you use your powers?

PAIGE: We haven't seen each other in a week and already we're starting with the pleasantries.

PRUE: Paige! (Warningly.)

PAIGE: I didn't mean too. It was accident.

PRUE: Why would you go chasing after bad guys that you can't handle in the first place?

PAIGE: I saw him rob that woman what would you of liked me to do?

PRUE: To phone the police like any regular person.

PAIGE: (Shouts.) I did!

PRUE: keep your voice down.

PAIGE: (lowers hers too.) Your the one who is starting an unnecessary argument.

PRUE: It's not unnecessary when your gonna be irresponsible and risk exposure. I may not want to be a witch but certainly don't want to burn or hang because you were stupid enough to use your powers in public.

PAIGE: I. Didn't. Do. It. On. Purpose.

PRUE: Your unbelievable. If you get caught then that's on you.

PAIGE: Who do you think you are. Judge, jury and executioner? Your not my Mom.

PRUE: No but mine is yours and as I am older then you, clearly I've got to be the more responsible one here.

PAIGE: You listen here. You don't own me or know me so don't think for a minute you control me. I'm adult.

PRUE: Then act like one. And when you come by tomorrow make sure you tell Leo of your stupidity.

(She walks off down the street and out of sight. Paige is left silently brooding.)

CUT TO:

EXT. WAREHOUSE - DAY

(A figure in a black hooded cloak is walking up to the warehouse.)

CUT TO:

INT. WAREHOUSE

(The Demon from earlier is in the warehouse. A woman is on the floor with black lines on her face. The figure enters the warehouse. The demon has not seen the figure yet. He picks the woman up and holds her arm length.)

WOMAN: (Whisper.) Please. Please let me go.

DEMON:(Smirks.) Sure.

(All of sudden the lines start to swirl manically and the woman begins to glow. The glow disappears and the whites of her eyes can be seen. She is dead. The demon drops her to the floor. The figure steps forward and begins to speak. A woman's voice can be heard.)

HFW: I thought you were magical type demon only (The demon spins around.) I guess I was wrong.

DEMON: I feed on who and what I like.

HFW: So I see.

DEMON: I could also feed on you seeming as you have so rudely interrupted me.

HFW: You could but I have better idea.

DEMON: I don't take propositions. I'm not that type of demon.

HFW: No of course not but I'm hoping you'll make an exception.

DEMON: And why's that?

HFW: For the source. For the greatest feed you'll ever receive.

DEMON: (Studies her a moment.) I'm listening.

HFW: Well Febric there is a new threat of an old prophecy that has arisen. The source wants rid of it. I am just one of many that the source has employed to see the task complete.

FEBRIC: So why come to me?

HFW: This threat is not one to toy with it maybe new but that doesn't make it any less powerful.

FEBRIC: How so?

HFW: You heard about Shax right?

FEBRIC: I heard he was vanquished by witches.

HFW: Exactly.

FEBRIC: The threat is witches?

HFW: Not just any witches. Charmed witches.

FEBRIC: I thought that was a myth.

HFW: We all did. But the warren line has given birth to the magical trio worse apparently they've been given an upgrade. Three has become five.

FEBRIC: If their still relatively new to their powers why not just kill them all now?

HFW: Many warren witches have died but none so powerful like these ones. They vanquished Shax three days into magical rebirth. Good or not this is not a mission to be taken lightly.

FEBRIC: And so you come to me?

HFW: There are not many demons that posses the power you do. It is an extreme and beautiful gift.

FEBRIC: (Evil smirk.) I know.

HFW: I want you to use this gift to make the charmed ones give up their powers and then kill them.

FEBRIC: As much as I am brilliant. I won't deny I am a low level demon. If their so powerful as you say what makes you think I can destroy them?

HFW: If I'm not mistaken you in recent years take powers when you feed off witches. The amulet you wear around your neck stores the powers. I'm sure plenty have taken that deal in exchange for their life. I highly doubt you've been low level for a while.

FEBRIC: You've done your homework.

HFW: Yes I have.

FEBRIC: So you want me to attack them. Take their powers and kill them.

HFW: Yes. I will collect the powers and you feed off of their life forces. You probably wouldn't need to feed again for at least 500 years or more. The source is happy and you get credit for killing his enemies.

FEBRIC: What's in it for you?

HFW: Power. So what do you say?

FEBRIC: I'm in.

HFW: Good.

FEBRIC: Where do we start first?

HFW: With the oldest witch.

CUT TO:

INT. QUAKE – DINING ROOM

(Piper is on the staff phone. She seems stressed.)

PIPER: What do you mean he's gone? I thought he was on holiday?

(Person on the phone is speaking.)

PIPER: No, No and No. He can't leave and make me in charge. I am a chef not a manager. Not to mention...

(Prue is walking up to Piper.)

PIPER: I don't care if I have the best qualifications. Tell him he needs to get his but back here now.

(She slams the phone down. Prue looks surprised.)

PRUE: Well that's one way to do it.

PIPER: Oh man. (Buries her face in her hands.) Oh I was so mean to him. I should call back apologise.

PRUE: Piper what's done is done. Sometimes it's not always misses nice girl. There was obviously a reason. What was that about anyway?

PIPER: (Sighs begins walking to the bar.) Chef Moron has gone back to France to open a new chain of restaurants and has left me in charge until the new boss gets here which won't be for a couple of weeks.

PRUE: Is that a bad thing?

PIPER: I'm Chef Prue not a manager.

PRUE: And you don't have to do double shifts because everyone is working for you until the new boss gets here.

PIPER: Well.. well I guess I didn't think about that.

PRUE: Obviously.

PIPER: However there are four mouths to feed and bills to pay and you still don't have a job and welfare...

PRUE: Yes ,yes I know. I'm working on it.

PIPER: What are you doing here anyway?

PRUE: Well I needed someone to vent too.

PIPER: Phoebe is at home is she not?

PRUE: Someone other than Phoebe.

PIPER: Prue!

PRUE: No Piper we didn't have a fight. This is just not a conversation I need with Phoebe right now.

PIPER: Why?

PRUE: It's about Andy and Paige.

PIPER: Interesting combo. Do tell.

PRUE: Phoebe told me he had basically been calling all week today but seeming as I have been so busy...

PIPER: (snorts.) Busy?

PRUE: (Sharp.) Yes busy. Any who So I went down there to explain why I've been missing his calls and he totally flipped out on me.

PIPER: How?

PRUE: He said he'd rather me tell him that I don't want to go out with him than play cat and mouse.

APIPER: Well why don't you just go out with him then?

PRUE: Piper!

PIPER: Look Prue god knows what this (looks around whispers) Witch thing is gonna bring to our door step. Nothing has attacked so far I say you go for it whilst you can.

PRUE: Piper...

PIPER: Prue you like Andy and Andy likes you. Your not normal now but you can at least stretch for some normalcy. Go out. It won't kill you. And you know it's serious when it's me of all people telling you.

PRUE: Piper I just can't ok. Andy was the first person who I ever felt anything for. He's special. To reopen that can of worms with added witch craft would be... I don't even know what it would be. The point is I don't want him involved and I don't want him to be scared off and freaked out. Just alone from arguing with him today you should of seen the way he looked at me. If he looked at me like that and found I was a witch I wouldn't be able to handle that. So I just can't.

PIPER: I think your making a mistake Prue but I respect your decision.

PRUE: Thank you.

PIPER: So how does Paige include in all this?

PRUE: Oh yeah. She was there at the station when I got there.

PIPER: What? Why?

PRUE: That's a good question. The answer to that is she chased down a thief and used her power on him.

PIPER: What? Is she insane? Why would she do something like that?

PRUE: (Sarcastic.) It was an accident. She couldn't help it. I could tell Andy was suspicious.

PIPER: Does she wanna get us all exposed? We need to talk to her.

PRUE: Yeah well unfortunately her and the other one are going be at the manor tomorrow seeming as we need to learn how to use these stupid powers. God sometimes I hate Phoebe.

PIPER: Prue!

PRUE: Piper I have more valuable things to be doing then playing Samantha with my sisters and the Scully and Mulder wannabes.

PIPER: First of all you are definitely Tabitha. Secondly I thought you were trying with them? And finally Scully and Mulder?

PRUE: Just because I'm trying doesn't mean I have to like it ok. And for the record I am not Tabitha and Scully is the little bitchy one known as Chris. Where there's a Scully there needs to be a Mulder so the other one can be him.

PIPER: Yes mam.

PRUE: What am I gonna do about Andy?

PIPER: Prue knowing you you'll figure it out. You always do.

PRUE: Sure I do.

PIPER: Listen I should probably get back too work. Just talk to him. What more can you do?

PRUE: Yeah, yeah. Thanks for listening.

PIPER: Anytime. See ya later.

PRUE: See ya.

(Prue walks away from the bar and outside to the car park. She looking in her purse and pulls out her keys when she bumps into someone and drops her purse. Stuff falls out o the purse.)

PRUE: Watch the hell where your going. (Bends down and picks up the stuff.)

FEBRIC: I'm sorry. (Bends down and helps.) I didn't see you there.

PRUE: (Sighs.) It's fine. I'm sorry it just been a stressful day. I didn't mean to snap.

FEBRIC: No I perfectly understand.

(He picks up a mirror and she picks up a note pad and puts them in the purse.. There is car keys on the floor. Prue goes for the keys. Febric goes for the keys too. Prue's hand reaches it and Febric puts his hand over hers. He secretly begins using his power.)

FEBRIC: Wow you have some soft hands.

PRUE: Thank you. Can I have mine back?

(She is unaware of the faint black lines swirling in her face.)

FEBRIC: Yeah sure of course. (He lets go.) sorry.

PRUE: (Smiles.) It's ok.

FEBRIC: Again I'm sorry. It's just been a long day.

PRUE: Tell me about it.

FEBRIC: Any who I won't hold you up any longer.

PRUE: Thank you.

FEBRIC: I'll see you around soft hands.

(He walks off. Prue smiles and walks to her car and gets in. Prue rubs her eyes feeling strange but shakes it off and drives off.)

(Chris is now in his dorm room reading a book. Dustin walks in. He walks over to his side of the room and is grabbing something out of view.)

CHRIS: (looks up from his book.) Hey man where you been?

DUSTIN: Oh I just had to take care of some things.

CHRIS: (leans forward.) Is that blood?

DUSTIN: (Wipes his left ear.) Yeah fell awkwardly on the floor.

CHRIS: Doing what?

DUSTIN: Nothing Important. How you been?

CHRIS: Oh you know same old same old.

DUSTIN: Chris you lost people you love. That's not your casual everyday occurrence.

CHRIS: Oprah? Is that you?

DUSTIN: ha, ha very funny. Just remember I'm trying to help you out here.

CHRIS: I don't need help I'm fine.

DUSTIN: Chris...

CHRIS: Will you drop it. I said I'm fine.

DUSTIN: If you say so Chris. Any who I gotta go do something so I'll see you later.

CHRIS: Yeah see ya.

(Dustin leaves the room. Chris waits a few seconds. He then jumps up and puts the book down. He goes up to the door and peers out looking to see where Dustin went. Dustin is no where in sight. He pulls his head back into the room and closes the door back. He then looks up to the ceiling.)

CHRIS: (Whispers.) Leo. (Nothing happens.) LEO!

(Leo orbs in.)

LEO: Hi Chris.

CHRIS: Hi.

LEO: What's the matter?

CHRIS: The cover.

LEO: Chris you chose it.

CHRIS: I know.

LEO: So what's the matter.

CHRIS: My friends keep on repeatedly asking am I alright.

LEO: And that's a problem?

CHRIS: Yes. (Chris is irritated.)

LEO: Chris You lost..

CHRIS: Yeah I lost my Mom and brother. I know but the pity thing is getting ridiculous. The cover was so people wouldn't ask questions.

LEO: I'm sure asking if your alright is a valid and acceptable question.

CHRIS: Well it's not to me.

LEO: Chris your still hurting and your friends just want to help you.

CHRIS: I don't need help I just want to go on as normal.

LEO: Chris I know it's hard but a wound takes time to heal don't try to rush that process. Why don't you talk to your sisters about it seeming as your coming over tomorrow.

CHRIS: No.

LEO: Chris...

CHRIS: It's my choice and I said no.

LEO: Alright.

CHRIS: Look I'm sorry I just...I...

LEO: Chris it's ok. It's not everyday that someone finds out that their mother was a demon.

CHRIS: I know but it's not just that it's everything.

LEO: What's everything?

CHRIS: Being a witch. I can't even tell my friends although I doubt they would notice because when there not busy doing stuff which apparently is not important there asking me if I'm ok like I'm gonna crack any minute and then want to make me feel bad for not expressing my feelings.

LEO: Exposure is something all magical beings need to keep a secret. Yes there are mortals out in the world that know but they understand the need for the secret to be hidden.

CHRIS: There is also the fact that I may of hastily chosen.

LEO: You think you made the wrong choice?

CHRIS: I- I don't know. I knew the others would be upset but...

LEO: But?

CHRIS: Aidy in the new place has barely said three words. JJ and Jason are both taking this all very badly. JJ is acting out whilst Jason is doing nothing. It was a struggle to get him to eat dinner the other day.

LEO: I'm sure it's all part of the natural grieving process.

CHRIS: Then there's aunt Jackie. She is trying so hard and I can't take it. Getting to know strangers is becoming too much habit of late. I think the others would agree. She tried for an hour the other day to talk to us about Mom when she was younger. Aidy stormed out. Maybe I should of let them forget.

LEO: Chris you did what your heart told you to do. Don't think that is wrong. I told you need time to heal and adjust your siblings do too.

CHRIS: Then why do I feel like my selfishness has failed them.

LEO: Chris...

CHRIS: Look I'm sorry I should of never bothered you.

LEO: Chris I'm your whitelighter this is exactly what I'm here for.

CHRIS: Look I'm feeling a bit tired. I'll see you tomorrow.

LEO: Are you gonna...

CHRIS: Yeah I'll be fine. I'm just worrying over nothing. Probably just need to sleep.

LEO: Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Chris.

CHRIS: Night.

CHRIS: I hope it was right.

PIPER: Well yeah but your right while I'm managing the place I will take it easy till the new boss arrives. Anyway.

PRUE: (Chirpy.) Good for you.

PIPER: So how productive was your day? Did you clean the bricks?

PRUE: Haha very funny. No. I paid the bills and cleaned the basement.

PIPER: So you didn't call Andy?

PRUE: Actually I did.

PIPER: Yeah. So how'd it go?

PRUE: We're going out tomorrow.

PIPER: What?

PRUE: We're going out tomorrow.

PIPER: Really?

PRUE: Uh huh.

PIPER: Oh you know I only ask cause this afternoon you were insistent that you weren't gonna go out with him. What changed?

PRUE: Oh you know I thought I'd take yours and Phoebe's advice. Use my time wisely. (Bubbly) Besides it's just one little date. I should be taking more risks you know. So I called him. Apologised and asked him out.

PIPER: Are you ok?

PRUE: (Massive smile.) Splendid.

PIPER: Ok. Where's Phoebe?

PRUE: (Excitedly.) Oh she's upstairs with the book of shadows. Preparing for tomorrow.

PIPER: Since when were you so excited about tomorrow? I thought you was dreading it?

PRUE: Well I decided it will be fun and cool to use our powers. And we get super awesome bonding time with our little brother and sister. Yay.

PIPER: Prue are you sure your ok?

PHOEBE: Huh what?

PIPER: My god are you so obsessed with that book that you can't hear your own sister calling for you?

PHOEBE: I was busy Piper! What's the matter?

PIPER: I said I think something is wrong with Prue.

PHOEBE: (Concerned.) Why?

PIPER: She's not herself.

PHOEBE: Piper I know that. I talked to her this morning and well she wanted to clean the gutter and then she went to Andy and...

PIPER: No I know she's been a bit obsessive without a job and I know she saw Andy but that's not what I'm talking about. She's really not herself she's all bubbly and bouncy. I'm not saying that Prue is never happy but like not the way she is now. She called Andy and their going on a date tomorrow.

PHOEBE: So?

PIPER: Phoebe! Prue never changes her mind and on the rare occasion that she does, never that quick.

PHOEBE: She's just excited that she's probably gonna get laid tomorrow. It's Andy. Those two are like Ben and Jerry's. You can't have one without the other. Relax Piper. Your stressing yourself over nothing.

PIPER: Maybe your right. What are you doing anyway?

PHOEBE: Well obviously we asked Leo to come down and help us tomorrow but I'm going over the book on what Looks like the basics.

PIPER: Your gonna school us in craft?

PHOEBE: So to speak yes.

PIPER: Wow.

PHOEBE: What?

PIPER: Nothing. Look just remember you have life. And don't read to much into that book. We have no idea about the stuff it can do.

PHOEBE: That's the whole point piper.

PIPER: Ok let me put it like this. Prue isn't the only obsessed sister here.

PHOEBE: I'm not obsessed.

PIPER: Phoebe have you been out today?

PHOEBE: No but that doesn't make me obsessed.

PIPER: Oh really miss magic isn't going to stop me from having a life and yet this whole week you have been in and out of that book.

PHOEBE: Yeah because we need to learn Piper. And FYI I have been on two dates this week.

PIPER: I haven't been in that book once Phoebe. And only two? That must be a record.

PHOEBE: Because you have been working. And you funny.

PIPER: No because I don't want magic. Period.

PHOEBE: Piper!

PIPER: Don't Piper me and be disappointed that I don't want something I didn't ask for Phoebe!

PHOEBE: I know Piper but it's who we are.

PIPER: No it's who we are forced to be Phoebe. Big difference.

PHOEBE: Piper!

PIPER: Look I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning.

PRUE: No. Just saying hi.

PIPER: Well hello. Never do that again.

PRUE: Okey dokey.

PIPER: Your 100% sure about that?

PRUE: Yes Piper.

PIPER: (uncertain.) Alright then.

PRUE: So how come you jumped just then?

PIPER: I didn't hear you come in. I was having a debate in my head.

PRUE: (Excited.) Ooooooooooo what kind of debate?

PIPER: Whether I should cook breakfast for Paige and Chris. I mean if we're gonna do this we might as well try to get along but at he same time I wanna tell them to stick it. You know? What do you think?

PRUE: Make them breakfast. We could sit around the table and swap stories with each other about growing up. Oh it will be so much fun. I'm gonna wake up Phoebe. (Runs out of the kitchen.)

PAIGE: Ok. Calm down. It's just a couple of hours. That's it. A few hours and you can go. You need to do this. Otherwise you'll be having more bubble incidents. (Walks in a circle before stopping to look at the mirror again.) No you do not want that again but you also don't want to be around them again.

(She walks out of the bathroom.)

PAIGE: I don't know what to do. Oh great. I guess I'm gonna do it then. LEO!

(Leo orbs after a few seconds.)

LEO: Good morning Paige. You know I'm glad you called, it helped me place you better on my radar. How are you?

PAIGE: (Sarcastic.) Ecstatic. Look I need your advice.

LEO: I'm listening.

PAIGE: Well it's just. (Pauses) You see the thing is. I – I don't...

LEO: Paige. Are you nervous?

PAIGE: Yes. No. I'm not nervous. It's just I don't know if I can do this.

LEO: Do what?

PAIGE: Learn about magic. Be around them.

LEO: Paige I know it's all a lot to process but your not alone. You have them and me. Don't run from them. Embrace them. They're just as scared as you Paige.

PAIGE: Leo get the hell off me. (Pulls away from him.)

LEO: Piper what's wrong.

LEO: Piper?

PIPER: Um. I – It's Prue. I think something is wrong with her.

LEO: Like what?

PIPER: I don't know but she's not herself.

LEO: How so?

PIPER: Well for start she is bubbly and well just way too chirpy.

(Paige snorts. Piper shoots her glare.)

LEO: Piper you think something is wrong because Prue is chirpy?

PIPER: Look Leo I know it sounds crazy but I...

(Prue walks in the kitchen.)

PRUE: Guys Phoebe's in the (See's Paige.) Paigeeeeeeee! (Hugs her. Paige pulls a face.) Hi. I'm so glad to see you. Wow your outfit is so cute. Hi Leo. Any who Phoebe is in the attic. Was already up there. We're just waiting on Chris and we will start. (Walks out of the kitchen.)

PAIGE: Ok what the hell was that?

PIPER: See what I mean Leo? That is not normal for Prue.

LEO: Piper I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

PIPER: Leo, Prue is not like that.

PAIGE: (Under her breath.) You can say that again.

LEO: Piper relax. Maybe Prue is just being positive for today.

(Piper seems unconvinced about that answer but then remembers something.)

FLASHBACK:

PIPER: Morning.

PRUE: Morning. (Storms out of the kitchen.)

PIPER: (Smirking.) It's only 7:30 in the morning and you have managed to piss her off already?

PHOEBE: It wasn't me. Our guests actually. (The smirk on Piper's face drops.)

PIPER: Oh. Another argument?

PHOEBE: No an agreement actually.

PIPER: Right. (Confused.) To do what?

PHOEBE: To be nice. (Whilst making toast.)

PIPER: Hmm that will probably do it too.

(Piper also remembers her conversation with Prue in the kitchen about "trying" and how Chris had put it which was basically pretending to be nice for Phoebe and Leo's sake.)

END OF FLASHBACK:

LEO: Piper are you alright?

PIPER: Yeah I'm fine. Maybe your right. I'm just worrying over nothing.

LEO: Why don't you two go to the attic and I will go get Chris.

PIPER: Yeah sure.

(Leo smiles and orbs out. Piper and Paige are left in the kitchen. Not knowing what to say to each other. Both feel extremely awkward. Piper wants to say something if only to relieve the tension but doesn't know what to say. She decides it's best to walk out of the kitchen. Paige moments later follows her.)

CUT TO:

INT. WAREHOUSE

(There is an old looking couch in the warehouse. Febric is sitting across it. He is fiddling with amulet around his neck. The hooded figure from earlier is standing in front of him.)

HFW: How long before she see's her demise?

FEBRIC: Naturally 24 hours. If I speed up or down the process however long I like. Well at least how long they can last that is.

HFW: What's the full process?

FEBRIC: Each fever is different but the symptoms are the same. The victims personality changes. If their withdrawn they become out going. If their dumb they become smart. Afterwards the fever effects the body. If the victim is non magical this would usually result in strength or something stupid like weight loss. With someone magical it will more likely effect their powers. Increase the strength. Once these two symptoms work together the victim begins to burn up. Once it becomes too much they fall in to a coma. I'm sure you can guess what happens next.

HFW: You kill them.

FEBRIC: Yes.

HFW: Can they die from the fever it self?

FEBRIC: Yes but it's not pretty.

HFW: I see. So why those symptoms?

FEBRIC: They come with the gift. The symptoms make the victims edible. Their life force comes to it's peak. They let go of their inhibitions. They take more risks. Succeed little things. Any person is supposed do those things naturally in their own time when their ready. Forcing those things with magic burns up their life-force. Gives me my energy. My food.

HFW: So when will the witch begin to fall into her coma.

FEBRIC: I touched her around 2 yesterday. In a couple hours she should be burning like hell itself. By 2 she will be in coma. If I leave her then a few more hours and she would naturally die. That one depends on strength.

HFW: Could it be quicker?

FEBRIC: Yes if she was to use a great deal of power.

HFW: Then perhaps I should make her use a great deal of power. (Evil smile.)

PRUE: (She takes them and reads the card.) I'm sorry I shouted at you. I was a total douche.

ANDY: I was. I had no reason or right to shout at you. Your in a complicated place and I should accept that.

PRUE: Apology accepted. I'm sorry too. I have been so busy doing little things that I didn't realise you even had been calling.

ANDY: Thank you. Now for the investigative bit. How comes you changed your mind? You don't change your mind so quickly.

PRUE: I decided to let loose. Take the chance. I may not get it again.

ANDY: I like your thinking. I got the day off so can I make up for that bad coffee now?

PRUE: Well I am supposed to be doing something with my sisters but what the hell. Coffee it is.

ANDY: Well I don't want to...

PRUE: Listen you got the date now so don't you start chickening out on me.

ANDY: In your dreams Halliwell.

PRUE: Good. Let's go.

ANDY: Don't you want to let your sisters know your going.

PRUE: I'll leave a note.

ANDY: Ok I'll be by the car. (He turns and walks back to the car.)

(Prue puts the flowers on the table and turns for the hooks. She then puts her hand forward to grab her jacket but it comes flying forward. She looks surprised. She then puts the jacket on and intentionally points at her purse and it comes flying to her hand. She lets go of the purse and it is just floating in the air. She feels dizzy for a moment but shakes it off and smiles. She then unzips the purse telekinetically and out floats her little notepad and pen. She then grabs the pad and pen out of the air leaving the purse in the air. She leans on table and writes the note. She then tears off the paper and leaves it on the table. She then raises the note pad and pen in the air and with he flick of her finger they go flying into thee purse. She walks back up to the purse and grabs it out of the air and smiles again. She walks out of the door and turns around and with her finger closes the door. She walks up to the car and gets in. Andy then drives off.)

PRUE: Well I'm different now.

ANDY: I can tell.

PRUE: And what can you tell about it?

ANDY: That I would like to know more.

PRUE: Good.

ANDY: Aw crap.

PRUE: What? What's wrong?

ANDY: I gotta head to the John.

ANDY: See you in a minute. (Gets up and heads for door to inside.)

She is watching one couple. The man has received a phone call and has gone to take it. The woman has now decided to go the bathroom. All of sudden Prue notices a man from a table behind the couples stretching his hand slyly to the man's jacket which he left around his seat.)

PRUE: Hey.

(The man jumps and realises Prue is talking to him. He jumps up and scoops up the jacket and dashes inside. Prue gets up and begins chasing after him. He runs out the cafe and onto the street. Prue does the same. As she gets to the door Andy can be seen coming out of the bathroom. He just catches Prue running out of the door.)

ANDY: Prue!

(Andy then runs out of the cafe. The thief is still running. He runs until there is an alleyway. He turns into the alleyway. There is a silver fence blocking him. He runs up to the fence with speed and jumps so he can climb. Prue comes around the corner and see's him on the fence.)

PRUE: (She holds out her hand.) No.

PAIGE: Great then there is no need for me to be here is there?

PIPER: I guess not.

PHOEBE: No she doesn't mean that.

PIPER: Yes I...

CHRIS: Someone's coming.

PIPER: I'm sorry who are you?

LEO: This is Natalie she's a colleague. A fellow whitelighter.

PIPER: And why is she here?

NATALIE: She needs help. (Rudely.) Leo one of my Charges was in trouble and his daughter used her powers to find her father but they couldn't summon him. So I took her and his wife down there. They fought off the demons got him and I took him home. When I came back I found two of my other charges. One was dead and the other one is dying as we speak. I can't heal her Leo.

LEO: What happened?

NATALIE: She whispered a name to me. She said Febric.

(Leo's eyes widen and his face goes grim.)

LEO: I'm so sorry.

PHOEBE: I'm sorry who is Febric.

LEO: He's a demon. A demon that feeds on life.

PAIGE: Ew.

PHOEBE: I'm sorry what now?

LEO: Febric is the demon of fever. He contaminates you with fever and then feeds on your life force.

CHRIS: (Sarcastic.) Because I needed The visual.

PHOEBE: Ok so what do you want us to do?

NATALIE: Vanquish him. What else?

PHOEBE: Right of course.

(She walks over too the book of shadows and begins flipping through the pages.)

PHOEBE: F, f, f. Febric. Ok. Febric the demon of fever. He consumes his victims by giving them a magical fever. The fever includes five symptoms. The mind. The body. The heat. The coma and Death. Your personality changes in opposite direction of who you are. Your body will then go through a physical change however if magical this may effect your powers instead of the body itself. The heat is your body then burning up until you fall into a coma. Once the victim has reached the fourth stage Febric can feed on the life force until the victim dies. He spreads his power through physical contact however he can touch without spreading the fever too. He is a low level demon but his ability to feed on life forces gives him enough strength to reconstitute after being vanquished. (Phoebe looks up at Leo.) Reconstitutes?

LEO: It's the ability to be reformed again after being vanquished. (She gives him blank look.) He can come back to life.

PHOEBE: Great. (Looks back into the book.) Most offensive powers can vanquish him but he will reconstitute. The best course of vanquish would be a spell to offset his ability to reconstitute and vanquish him.

LEO: In this case your the charmed ones so you could probably just vanquish him without doing a spell to get rid of his reconstitution.

NATALIE: You need to hurry too. I have no idea how long Marnie has got.

PAIGE: Who's Marnie?

NATALIE: My charge.

PHOEBE: Ok we need to find Prue and then this Febric guy.

PIPER: Whoa. Hold on a minute. Look I don't want to be responsible for a death here but we can barely even control our powers and now you want us to go looking for a demon that can pop back up and make us sick.

LEO: Piper your the charmed ones. This what your meant to do.

PAIGE: Ok but I didn't sign up for demon hunting.

NATALIE: Are you that selfish that you would let an innocent die?

PAIGE: Who said anything about letting someone die. If you would open your ears and listen then you would understand that I'm saying why don't we help the innocent instead?

LEO: I understand that Paige but even if you were to do that it just means that more innocents will be targeted by Febric. Worse if one victim was to live he would probably target Marnie again and then you guys.

PHOEBE: Ok that's settled how do we do this?

CHRIS: Phoebe you said the book said that once the fourth stage reaches that this Febric can feed right?

PHOEBE: Yeah.

CHRIS: And you red head. You said that your charge whispered his name right.

NATALIE: Yes. And it's Natalie.

CHRIS: Whatever. The point is if she talked to you. Said his name.

NATALIE: So?

CHRIS: So it means that your Charge isn't in the fourth stage yet. Which means when she is he will come for her. I say we wait for him and bobs your uncle he's vanquished.

PHOEBE: That's actually clever. We'll have the advantage. The question is how do we actually vanquish him.

LEO: With a Power of 5 spell.

PAIGE: Oh right with a power of 5 spell. Yeah let me just conjure one of those up.

PIPER: Leo we haven't managed to do this stinking practice session how do you expect us to come up with a full blown spell.

PHOEBE: Guys how do you think all of this got written in the book. It was written down. Which means that we write the spell just like our ancestors before us.

LEO: Exactly. Your not just the most powerful witches in the world for nothing Piper. You can do this. It's your destiny.

(Piper looks at him. She considering what he said. He is looking back at her. Natalie looks between them with a look suspicion. The look from Leo makes Pipers heart jump.)

PIPER: Ok We'll do Chris's Plan. Phoebe you work on the spell. Paige look in the book see if there is any thing that we can use to keep this Febric away from us. If there isn't then we're going to just need to make a barricade. Chris why don't you help Phoebe. Natalie bring your charge here. I'm going to find out where Prue is.

NATALIE: Ok. Leo can you help me?

LEO: Sure.

(They both orb out. Piper then walks out of the attic.)

PHOEBE: Looks like we can work together after all.

(Chris and Paige glare at Phoebe. Chris is about to say something when the tingling feeling starts in his head again. He looks around but can't see anyone. He is sure someone else is there. He doesn't like the way his head feels. He is trying to concentrate.)

PHOEBE: (right next to him breaking his concentration.) Come on spoil sport. Let's get our Tabitha on and make a spell.

(Chris makes a face.)

CUT TO:

INT. RYAN'S HOUSE – LIVING ROOM

(Natalie and Leo orb in.)

LEO: She's still conscious.

NATALIE: Leo are you dating Piper?

LEO: What? No. Why would you even think that?

NATALIE: Because you know that's against the rules and if you are I won't cover for you.

LEO: Natalie. I am not dating Piper. Seriously what's gotten into you?

NATALIE: Charges don't look at whitelighters like that. Or at least there not supposed too.

LEO: Natalie if your implying that Piper has feelings for me then your wrong. They got their powers last week and Piper in particular has a reluctance to use magic the most out of all of them. You saw a look of fright turned into determination. Nothing more.

NATALIE: If you say so Leo. Now come and help me.

CUT TO:

MANOR – FOYER

(Piper is walking down the stairs when the phone rings. She picks it up.)

PIPER: Hello Halliwell residence.

ANDY: Hello.

PIPER: Andy! Oh good. Do you know where Prue is?

ANDY: That's what I'm calling about. We went out for coffee and she chased this guy down. Next thing I know she's collapsed.

PIPER: What?

ANDY: Look I don't know what to tell you the doctors aren't telling me. Just get down here.

(He hangs up the Phone.)

PIPER: Phoebe! Phoebe!

PHOEBE: (Running down the stairs.) Piper what is it?

PIPER: It's Prue she's collapsed.

PHOEBE: What?

PIPER: She's at hospital now. Andy called.

PHOEBE: Oh my god.

PIPER: Leo! Leo!

PIPER/PHOEBE: Leo!

(Leo and Natalie orb in with a woman in Leo arms. All of a sudden Phoebe feels pulling sensation. She is having a premonition.)

*Premonition*

Marnie and Ryan are sitting down when they are attacked by a demon. He makes Marnie say a spell giving up Ryan's powers which floats into an amulet. The demon then kills Ryan and touches Marnie and leaves her there. (The premonition changes.) Prue is walking out of Quake. The demon bumps into her and she drops her bag. The demons helps her and touches her. (The premonition changes again.) Prue is chasing a man into alleyway and blows up the alleyway before collapsing.)

(Phoebe comes out of the premonition. Piper is shaking her.)

PIPER: Phoebe are you ok? What did you see?

PHOEBE: Whoa. That was different. (Phoebe looks around. She is slightly dazed. She see's Leo putting Marnie down on the chair.) Prue's been infected.

PIPER: What?

PHOEBE: I saw the demon that attacked her, attack Prue. Marnie has till tomorrow Prue doesn't worse Marnie has a brother right?

NATALIE: Yes he's my charge too. Was my charge.

PHOEBE: Febric made Marnie give him his powers. He had some amulet. Marnie tricked him so he tricked her back and killed him.

NATALIE: Oh Marnie.

PIPER: Ok what do we do now?

LEO: Still continue with the plan. Prue is not dead yet so the power of 5 will still work and vanquishing him will save her and Marnie.

PIPER: Yes but Prue is in hospital.

LEO: Wait Prue's in hospital?

PHOEBE: Yeah Andy called. In my premonition she chased some thief and somehow blasted the alleyway and collapsed.

PIPER: How could she do that?

LEO: If She's been infected then she was at stage two. The book said that magical beings might get an increase in power instead. Worse being a charmed one probably advanced her power so great that using it like that made her skip stage 3 and go onto stage four. Phoebe do you know what time it was roughly when you saw Prue in your Premonition?

PHOEBE: No I could only tell it was in the day time.

LEO: Do you know where she was.

PHOEBE: Um. It looked like she was coming from quake.

PIPER: Wait. She came to Quake round about quarter to 2 yesterday and we then had chat for about 10 minutes before she left.

LEO: It must of been then when he attacked. It's been an hour since Prue left. She has roughly three hours left.

PHOEBE: He could attack her at anytime as long as she's in the fourth stage.

PIPER: Yeah but Phoebe she's in a public place. He surely isn't gonna attack in a public place is he?

LEO: Evil keep to the agreement to not expose magic but he could easily attack when no one is looking.

PIPER: So what do we do? Leo? What do we do?

PHOEBE: Leo you need to go get Prue and bring her back here and don't get caught. Febric will come for her soon. Piper do you think you'll be able to freeze him.

PIPER: I don't know I can't control it.

PHOEBE: Ok Leo you go get Prue. Natalie we have a basement. Take Marnie down there if she's out of sight Febric won't get her and stay with her. Piper let's go back upstairs. We need that spell. Ok break.

(Leo orbs out. Natalie goes to Marnie orbs out with her. Piper and Phoebe run upstairs. None of them notice that the hooded figure is standing in the sunroom listening. The figure then turns around to reveal a passed out Prue with black lines in her face, on the couch.

HFW: Don't worry Prudence your misery will soon end right after your siblings start's.

(She shimmers out.)

COMMERCIAL BREAK

ACT FIVE:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR – DAY

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC

(Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Chris are in the attic.)

CHRIS: What do you mean she's been infected?

PIPER: Exactly what I said. Febric got to her so we need to vanquish him to save her and Marnie.

PAIGE: And if this plan doesn't work?

PHOEBE: It will work. It has too.

PAIGE: But if it doesn't?

PIPER: Then we will think of something else.

CHRIS: Like what?

PHOEBE: Anything Chris. The point we are not letting Prue die. Do you understand me?

CHRIS: If you say so but I'm still confused. How did this happen?

PHOEBE: Prue got infected yesterday. Febric came to her and touched her. So she was acting really weird yesterday and today. She goes out with a guy named Andy for coffee when she was supposed to be here. At some point she chased some guy who stole something and blasted the alleyway before passing out. Leo said because of the use of power she skipped stage 3 and went straight to 4.

PAIGE: Ha.

(They look at her.)

CHRIS: I know we don't like her but that's cold Paige.

PAIGE: I'm not talking about the infection. Yesterday she had a massive go at me for accidently using my powers after chasing some thief down for stealing some Ladies hand bag. I didn't mean to use my powers but no I was idiotic and trying to expose us for helping someone and now she does the same thing today.

PHOEBE: You saw her yesterday?

PAIGE: Yeah the same Andy guy was the detective who was questioning me. She came in, he told her what happened, she yells at me.

PIPER: And for good reason. You could of exposed us.

PAIGE: It was an accident. How did I know a bubble was gonna blast the guy off his feet. I was just trying to get the bag back.

PIPER: You ran after a criminal which isn't your job. You can't control your powers. That should be enough to not do something so stupid.

PAIGE: Are you gonna tell Prue that?

PIPER: No just you.

PAIGE: (Shouts.) When she did the same thing and is in a worse situation?

PIPER: Prue can control her powers better than you besides she was infected and stage 1 makes you do things you probably wouldn't usually do.

PAIGE: Your an unbelievable hypocrite and so is she infection or not.

PHOEBE: Guys. Please. Can we talk about this after we've saved Prue and Marnie.

PIPER: Nothing to talk about. We're waiting for Leo end of. (Walks to the other side of the room.)

PHOEBE: (Sighs.) Leo come on already.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL – CORRIDIOR

(Orb lights can be seen in a store room. The door opens and Leo comes out. He walks up to the desk.)

LEO: Hi. Can you tell me where Prue Halliwell is?

NURSE: (Types on thee computer.) Down the hall on third door on your right.

LEO: Thank you.

(Leo walks down the hall and halts at the third door. He looks around and slowly pushes the door open. He pears through to see if anyone is in the room. He walks in and see's a man who he recognises as Andy from the years of looking out for the sisters, on the floor knocked unconscious.)

LEO: (Bends down and tries to heal him.) Come on.

(All of sudden another Andy is standing behind Leo with a bed pan. He lifts it and hits over Leo's head knocking him out too. All of sudden Andy morphs into Febric. The hooded figure shimmers in.)

FEBRIC: I love this amulet of mine. I stole it from a witch. Speaking of witches I asked for the witch.

HFW: Well that's the whitelighter out of the way. Prue's in the sunroom and the rest are in the attic plotting your demise. Now go make the deal then feast away.

FEBRIC: You know my undisclosed friend you have been awfully helpful. I wish only to return that kindness. (He pulls out an Athame and stabs her in the chest. The hooded figure falls to the ground.) Sorry but I don't take orders and I told you I don't take propositions. Looks like I get the powers and the and the feed. I'll tell the source you tried your best. Chow. (He shimmers out.)

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC

(Piper and Paige are creating a barrier in the attic. Phoebe and Chris are writing the spell around the table.)

PIPER: What is taking Leo so long. It's almost been an hour.

PHOEBE: Maybe the doctors are with Prue. He can't just orb with her.

PIPER: Maybe but we're running out of time.

PAIGE: And I have no faith in this plan.

PHOEBE: Paige!

CHRIS: Look can we put our doubts away for the moment because I'm not looking to die today.

PAIGE: Sorry.

PIPER: Do you have the spell?

PHOEBE: Yup.

PIPER: And we're sure this spell will vanquish him.

PHOEBE: You heard Leo.

PIPER: Ok then get behind he barrier from now.

(They move behind the barrier made of the couch, draw and a chair. Whilst kneeling on some pillows.)

PAIGE: So how long are we gonna wait?

PHOEBE: I don't know Paige.

(Chris is sitting there with anticipation. Like his sisters he is concentrating on the space. Waiting to see if Leo or Febric show up. All of sudden he feels a thump in his head and a tingling sensation. This time he knows someone has just entered the house and is aware of the feeling of Danger. Like earlier the tingling isn't much. Now his head is throbbing again which tells him they're coming to the attic.)

CHRIS: Someone's coming.

(They all put on a brave face. Just then Febric appears with Prue is his arms.)

PIPER: Prue! (Her self and the others stand.)

FEBRIC: So lovely to finally meet the rest of you. The infamous charmed ones. I've gotten so acquainted with Prue I thought I wouldn't have time for you.

PHOEBE: You son of...

FBERIC: Now, now language. We don't want to piss off the guy whose holding your sister's comatose body do we?

PIPER: What do you want?

FEBRIC: Your powers in exchange for your sister's life. Give me your powers and I take away her fever.

CHRIS: And we're supposed to trust you are we?

FEBRIC: Of course not. I'm a demon. Never trust a demon.

PAIGE: Exactly so how do we know you won't kill us the moment we give you our powers?

FEBRIC: You don't however I am being genuine. I feed on mortals most of the time just because it's fun to watch them run. Attacking witches is for their powers. I make the deal and I keep my end of the bargain that is unless you cross me.

PAIGE: We only have your word for that.

FEBRIC: Yes you do. So I suggest you take the deal because Prudy doesn't have a lot of time left.

PHOEBE: She still has two hours left that is enough time.

FEBRIC: Really? We'll see about that. (Touches Prue's face and the black lines swirl in her face rapidly.)

PIPER: (Shouts.) What are you doing?

FEBRIC: Now she only has 10 minutes. I'd be quick on those powers if I were you.

(The siblings all look at each other stumped and unsure what to do.)

PIPER: Fine you win.

PHOEBE: Piper no.

PIPER: Your gonna let Prue die over some stinking powers?

PHOEBE: Of course not but if he gets our powers it's game over. Evil gets a massive boost and more bad things will happen from there on.

FEBRIC: 9 minutes.

PIPER: Phoebe, Prue's life is more important.

CHRIS: Piper look I know she's your sister and you don't want anything bad to happen but I agree with Phoebe. Enough books and films will tell you that the world comes first. I don't even want to imagine what would happen next.

PAIGE: I agree but I doubt destiny doesn't have a back up plan. There is every chance we could die doing this. Destiny is bound to have next witches up for promotion. We give up our powers Prue doesn't die and the next witches can take him out and the world is ok and we can get back to our normal lives.

FEBRIC: 8. Tick tock.

PHOEBE: Ok even if that's the case Paige we can't make that decision. It will backfire and when more innocents start dying we don't know if we can rely on those witches because they are not the most powerful witches in the world meant to be protectors of the innocent. I don't want Prue to die but we can't do this.

PIPER: Ok but we don't have time to come up with some last minute save her plan as our lovely guest is reminding us. It doesn't matter if we keep our powers because if one of us die then the power of 5 is dead and we can't help anyone anyway. I'm sorry if I sound selfish Phoebe but we don't have a choice.

CHRIS: Piper being a witch has already ruined my life but I'm not gonna let it ruin others too. There is always a choice.

PAIGE: Frankly Chris I don't see it.

PHOEBE: Paige, Piper. Chris is right. There is always a choice. Always another way and we will find it.

FEBRIC: 7. Honestly if she dies like this it would be way worse than me draining her. Her death is bouncing in the air right now.

(Chris's eyes widen. He is now concentrating.)

PIPER: She has seven minutes Phoebe.

PAIGE: Yeah we kind of need to do something now.

PHOEBE: I know but think about it he gets our powers he will become the most powerful demon to live and will probably take over the world and take evil to new level what happens then. We can save Prue and the world.

CHRIS: Paige Listen to me I have a plan but I need you to trust me.

(Paige looks at Chris.)

PIPER: I'm sorry Phoebe but I can't let her die.

PHOEBE: Piper I won't give my powers to evil. For him to kill with them. To destroy innocent lives. That's not who we are. That's not who we are meant to be. I won't do it.

FEBRIC: Yeah, loving the sentimentalism going on here but you guys kind of need to be on the same page for me to save her. 6.

CHRIS: Ok someone make a decision now. I know I don't like her but Prue's life depends on it. (Looks over to Paige.)

(They are all silent and staring at each other.)

FEBRIC: 60 seconds isn't a lot of time. See now it's 5.

PAIGE: Wait!

(They all look to her.)

PAIGE: Two of us are against giving up our powers. Two of are us for it. Our whitelighter Isn't here so the only one who can decide is Prue.

FEBRIC: Prue is unconscious.

PAIGE: Yeah but no one is budging and she has minutes to live. So how about this. Take away Prue's fever. Give it to me. Give her 10 minutes to decide. If she let's me die then that's it and you can do whatever and so can they. If she say's yes then the powers are yours. She has the final decision.

PIPER: Paige your not doing that. That's insane.

FEBRIC: 4.

PAIGE: I didn't ask for your permission Piper.

PHOEBE: Paige what if Prue says no. You'll die.

PAIGE: Then I won't have to worry about powers will I. (Moves from the barrier towards Febric.) Look you clearly want our powers. If Prue dies you won't get what you want because if you could take her power you would of already but you can't that's why your using force.

PHOEBE: Paige no.

FEBRIC: 3.

PAIGE: You might as well. You have just as much to lose if she dies. You want her power too. Most likely she'll give them up anyway. She doesn't want to be a witch either. She told me.

FEBRIC: Alright.

PAIGE: But take her fever away first.

(Febric puts Prue down. Paige takes a step closer. He puts his hand on her skin and black lines rapid move before disappearing completely. Prue wakes up. Paige steps in front of Febric and puts her arm up for him to touch. Her arm is level with his neck.

PRUE: (Coughing on the floor.) What's going on?

FEBRIC: Your little sister has saved your life.

(He goes to touch her arm.)

CHRIS: Now!

(Paige with her arm in the air grabs the amulet. With the other arm she wishes for a shield which appears sending Febric flying into the wall. Paige then helps picks Prue up and runs behind the barrier. She grabs Chris's hand.)

PAIGE: Grab hands.

(Phoebe holds onto Prue's and Piper's. Febric starts to get up.)

CHRIS: "Calling on the power of 5. We take your gift that keeps you alive. Let the power course through your veins. Let the power cause you pain."

FEBRIC: No, No NOOOOOOOOOO!

(Febric explodes. All of them look shocked.)

PHOEBE: The spell worked. Woohoo. Oh we are good.

PRUE: Does someone wanna explain to me why we just vanquished the cute guy I met yesterday.

(They all look at each other.)

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – DINING ROOM

(TIME LAPSE: Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Chris, Leo, Natalie are sitting round the table. Prue is on the Phone.)

MARNIE: Thank you so much. You saved my life. (Looks down.) I Just wish I could of saved his.

PHOEBE: (Puts her hands across the table and grabs Marnie's.) You did what you thought was right. Don't hold that against yourself.

MARNIE: (Close to tears.) Yeah. I suppose your right. I better go and tell my family what happened. Not gonna be easy.

PIPER: I wish there was some way we could help you.

MARNIE: You already have. I'm alive that's what's important. I still have a family they don't need two of us dead.

NATALIE: Leo thank you for yours and your charges help.

LEO: No problem Natalie. I'll see you later.

PHOEBE: (To Marnie.) If you need us you know where to find us.

(Marnie nods. Natalie orbs out with Marnie.)

PIPER: How's your head?

LEO: It's fine. I mean it won't kill me. I'm already dead.

PAIGE: What happened to you anyway?

LEO: I got to the room. Andy was unconscious on the floor. I went to heal and someone hit me from behind.

PHOEBE: Probably Febric.

LEO: Yeah besides you didn't need old me around to save the day did you?

PHOEBE: No Mr Wyatt we didn't we have Christopher and Paige to thank for that.

PAIGE: Actually just Chris. I wanted to get rid of my powers. Remember.

PHOEBE: Yeah but if you didn't go along with Chris's plan, Prue might not be alive right now.

PAIGE: It was no big deal.

CHRIS: Exactly. (Stands up.) Any who I think I'm gonna take off. I think I've had enough magic problems for one day. (Uncomfortable.) I guess I'll see you all next week.

LEO: I brought you. You want me to take you back?

CHRIS: Nah I prepared this time. (Holds up his wallet.) I'm gonna go home.

LEO: You're sure?

CHRIS: Yeah. Aunt Jackie will probably wanna know I'm ok.

LEO: You've changed your tune.

CHRIS: Yeah I guess the whole Febric thing has made me reconsider stuff.

(Prue walks over.)

PRUE: That was Andy. He's gonna be ok. I managed to convince him that it was some crazy guy dressed as doctor came in and took me and knocked him out. Ran as soon as I woke up. Leo managed to take the security footage so any investigation they try too carry out won't get far and we'll be in the clear.

PIPER: How is he?

PRUE: He's definitely suspicious that's for one thing but otherwise fine I guess.

PHOEBE: Good.

PRUE: (Turns to Chris.) I take it your leaving then?

CHRIS: Yeah.

PRUE: (A little uncomfortable.) Then I just want to say thank you. (Turns to Paige.) Both of you. If you didn't do what you did I might be dead. It means a lot.

CHRIS: No problem. See ya. (Turns around and heads towards the manor doors.)

PAIGE: I guess I'll head out too. I'm sure you guys will need some time together. Leo that lift on offer still?

LEO: Yeah.

PHOEBE: Hopefully next week will be less demonic and more witchy.

PAIGE: Yeah.

(Paige stands up walks over to Leo. She takes his hand. They begin to orb.)

PRUE: Paige wait. (They stop.) I um wanted to apologise. For yesterday. I had no right to shout at you. Worse ended up doing the same thing. So I'm sorry.

PIPER: Yeah me too.

PAIGE: (Also uncomfortable.) Well thanks. Both of you. See ya next week.

PHOEBE: Leo. (She holds up the amulet.)You should take this.

(He takes the amulet. Leo orbs with Paige. Prue turns to look Piper and Phoebe. Phoebe has a massive smile on her face.)

PRUE: Don't Phoebe. Ok. Just Don't.

PHOEBE: I didn't say anything.

PRUE: And keep it that way. I'm going to lay down.

PIPER: Wait a minute. Prue Halliwell is going to lay down? Prue is going to relax?

PHOEBE: Oh my god. Pigs! Are they flying?

PRUE: Ha, ha very funny. I think it's time to just slow down bit that's all.

PHOEBE: Wow being in a coma has done you good. (Jokingly.) Hmmm maybe you should do it more often.

PRUE: You wish. (Climbing up the stairs.)

(Piper and Phoebe burst out laughing.)

CUT TO:

INT. THE UNDERWORLD – CAVE

(A demon is standing over the hooded figure. The cloak has been pushed behind her. The demon is putting on some type of paste on her chest.)

DEMONIC HEALER: You should know better than to make deals with Demons.

HFW: (Annoyed.) Well I guess I learnt my Lesson didn't I. Ow.

DEMONIC HEALER: Let's hope so. Your kind is harder for me to heal. This plan of yours almost got you killed.

HANNAH: (In the shadow.) Of course it did. It was rubbish.

HFW: It was not rubbish. There just one unaccounted for mistake.

HANNAH: Yes one that could of got us all killed.

HFW: Well I don't see any of the plans you make up to scratch.

HANNAH: Who's the one bleeding?

REX: (Appearing from the shadows.) Now, now ladies. Let's not claw each others throats. That's for another day. Hannah her plan was good but shattered in the end. Now we're gonna do one of our plans and when we do the charmed ones won't know what hit them. (Evil smile spreads across his face.
