Grand Theft Billie Part 2

Previously on Charmed

Billie was missing for two weeks and Phoebe was beginning to get worried. When she visited her dorm room she discovered Billie was relying on alcohol to ease the pain of the loss of her sister. Paige orbed her home to Phoebe's room. Piper still hadn't forgiven her and Billie was reminding her of the pain she felt when Pure died.

2 Demons Zamar and Zane decided to attack and get Billie's powers so they could form a collective in the underworld.

They attacked Billie in Phoebe's room and injured her greatly. Paige managed to vanquish Zane and orb Billie upstairs but was she too late?

Ent – Halliwell Manor – Phoebe's Room/Attic

Paige reaches under the flaming bed and grabs Billie's arm. She pulls with all her strength but only manages to pull her out halfway. Paige orbs Billie to the attic and lays her on the couch.

Blood drips from Billie's temple staining her Golden-Blonde hair. Her arms are burnt as well as her stomach and shoulders.

Tears are forming in Paige's eyes as she places her hands above Billie.

'Come on Billie, you can survive this. Stay strong, stay with me honey'

Paige's hands glow as they cover Billie's wounds but they are not healing. Paige cries and buries her face into Billie's shoulders.

Billie lies lifeless on the couch, haunted no more.

'Billie come on your too young to die! Billie wake up!'

Paige breaks down and begins to throw books and viles around the attic. She collapses on the ground as Phoebe runs into the room.

Phoebe stops in her tracks as she sees Paige on the floor. She immediately knows something is wrong. Suddenly a wave of emotions and pain hit her. Phoebe can't take it she is short of breath and upset. Phoebe makes her way to Billie. She is still lying on the couch, lifeless. She looks calm, like she is sleeping. Phoebe holds her hand and breaks down in tears.

'Billie I'm so sorry sweetie. Come back to us Billie. Billie you can't leave come back!'

'Phoebe it's no use. I couldn't heal her, why couldn't I heal her?!'

'Because, you can't heal the dead'

Phoebe and Paige look up and see Piper standing in the doorway. She seems unaffected by the death that has just occurred. She does not show any emotion and walks back downstairs leaving her two grieving sisters and Billie in the attic.

Opening Credits

Ent – Dark Cave Underworld

Zamar is walking around the cave. As he does this 3 other demons flame in.

'Welcome my friends, please take a seat'

The 3 demons look at each other weary of what Zamar is planning.

'Do not worry, I will not hurt you'

The demons seem convinced and they sit down.

'Now you all know why I have gathered you here'

'Because we are lower level demons and you want to control us' says Demon 1

'That is correct, but there is something in it for you. Zane and I recently attacked the Charmed Ones. Zane may not have made it out alive but he took the life of a witch with him.'

'Zane killed a Charmed One?' asks Demon 2.

'No he did not kill a Charmed One. He killed one half of the Ultimate Power'

'But the other half was already dead? We didn't need that witch' complains Demon 3.

The 3 demons seem unimpressed by Zane and Zamar's efforts. They may be lower level demons but they will not be taken advantage off. Demon 1 forms a fireball but Zamar blows him up before he can release it.

'You do not understand, a witch's power cannot exist on the physical plane and the spiritual plane. It must leave her body so she can move on. And I will be there when her power is released. I will be half the Ultimate Power which is stronger than any demon in this god forsaken Underworld'

The two demons remaining look at each other for a moment. They realise Zamar is right. Zamar will be the leader of the Underworld and it would be safer to befriend him than to betray him. They bend down on one knee and bow to Zamar.

'How may we serve you Zamar, Lord of the Underworld?'

Ent – Halliwell Manor – Attic

Billie's body is lying on the couch but now covered by a blanket. Phoebe is sitting beside her, grieving that the young girl who was so full of life was now drained of it. Paige is standing at the altar flipping through the Book of Shadows.

'I don't get it there is nothing in here that can help us' Paige slams the Book closed and stands with her hands on her hips thinking.

Phoebe remembers this all too well. Piper was exactly like this when Prue died.

'Paige, there's nothing in the Book because we can't cheat death. Not when it's already happened. Destiny has run its course and it clearly didn't involve Billie.'

Paige doesn't listen to Phoebe. She can not accept death. This is one charge she is not going to lose.

'No, there is no way we were supposed to save her from her sister if she was going to die 2 weeks later. It's just not right'

Phoebe stands up and hugs her sister. She is clearly very distraught and afraid.

'Paige it's over, she's gone. We have to accept it. She's gone to a better place'

Paige leans her head on Phoebe's shoulder and holds her sister tight. Paige slowly opens her eyes and notices some bright lights forming around Billie.

'Phoebe….'

'Yes I know its hard but…'

'No Phoebe what's that?'

Paige points at Billie as the bright lights grow in numbers. Phoebe turns around and is shocked also by what is happening.

'W-W-What's happening to her?' Paige asks.

Paige runs over to grab Billie's hand but is thrown to the other side of the room by a force field. Phoebe runs over to help her sister up.

The bright lights grow so strong that they are blinded. The sisters try and make there way back to Billie but they can't see.. The lights begin to dim and rise high above the couch.

When the sister's open their eyes they see the couch and blanket but Billie is nowhere to be found.

Ent – Halliwell Manor – Dining Room

Piper is sitting at the Dining table. She is holding both hands together and leans her chin against them. A tear slowly trickles down Piper's cheek. She brushes it away with her hand and closes her eyes.

'Damn it, Damn it DAMN IT!'

Piper bangs her hands against the table and stands up. She crosses her arms and paces up and down the hall. Piper looks up and sees Phoebe walking down the stairs. Paige is leaning against her, tears still running from her eyes.

'Piper, she's gone' sobs Phoebe

'I know Phoebe, Billie's gone and I know it may not have seemed like it but I…'

'No Piper she's gone. She's not upstairs, she disappeared'

'A swirl of bright lights took her right out of the attic' Paige explains to Piper.

Phoebe sits Paige down on the couch and pulls a blanket over her. Paige rests her head against a pillow and wipes the tears from her eyes.

'She just…disappeared. I mean what happened to her? Where did she go? Who took her?' Paige sits up and tries to think of an answer to her own question.

'Maybe the demons took her?' Phoebe sits down next to Paige.

'The Demons? But why would they want her?' asks Piper

'I don't know maybe they think they can get her powers somehow. That's what demons want isn't it?'

'Well ladies, I guess we have some vanquishing to do?'

The Charmed Ones head up to the attic. Piper and Paige go to the Book of Shadows and start to look for the Demon in the book. Phoebe starts to scry for Billie.

After flicking through the pages for a while Paige comes across the Demons.

'Zane and Zamar are two demon brothers. They are lower level demon and do not require much to be vanquished…It's just a simple vanquish. I'll get the ingredients, Paige, help Phoebe scry for Billie.

Piper walks out of the attic and leaves Paige and Phoebe to scry.

'Do you think we'll find her?' Paige asks concentrating on the crystal moving around the map.

'We have to'

Ent – Dark Cave Underworld

'We must attack the witches' says Zamar.

His 2 Demon followers seem to agree.

'We will strike them while they are weak and grieving. The loss of their little witch is sinking in.'

'You are right Lord Zamar. We shall attack them at home.' says Demon 1.

'Alright, we leave now! Are you prepared?' asks Zamar.

Demon 1 looks at Demon 2; they nod their heads and form fireballs in their hands. Zamar smiles and flames out, the other 2 Demons follow.

Ent – Halliwell Manor - Attic

The sisters are gathered around the cauldron, Piper throws something into it and a poof of smoke appears. Phoebe and Paige pour the liquid into viles. Paige sticks her vile in her pocket, Phoebe holds hers and passes one to Piper.

'Alright let's go fetch' Paige smiles slightly and looks at her sisters.

Paige holds Piper and Phoebe's hand as bright blue and white lights begin to form around them. Suddenly there is a loud crash downstairs. Paige stops orbing and Piper runs downstairs. Paige and Phoebe follow her.

Zamar and his 2 Demons are throwing fireballs around the house. Zamar throws one at the Grandfather clock. It bursts into flames and burns.

'Hey! That's an antique!' screams Piper. She hurls a vile at one of the Demons. Demon 2 roars as he feels the pain of a Charmed vanquish.

Paige orbs a vase from the table at Demon 1 as Phoebe jumps over the railing and lands on Zamar. Demon 1 falls to the ground and Paige throws her vile at him. Phoebe punches Zamar several times but he grabs her arm and throws her over him and she hits the wall behind her. Piper and Paige run down the stairs. Piper blows off his arm and he screams in pain. Paige calls for the vile in Phoebe's hand and orbs it at Zamar. The small glass bottle smashes against his shoulder and he disintegrates before their eyes.

Paige runs over to Phoebe who is lying on the ground.

'Oh Pheebs are you alright?' Paige notices a cut on her arm and places her hand over it. As her hand glows, Phoebe's wound heals.

'Glad to see it's working on you Pheebs'

'Paige, that wasn't your fault. You can't heal the dead'

'Doesn't make it any easier'

Piper helps Phoebe up and sits her down on the couch in the living room. Paige sits beside her and crosses her legs. Sadness covers Paige's face; she is still upset by the loss of her friend. Piper exits the room and walks to the kitchen.

'Paige I know it's hard but you can't blame yourself for Billie's death. There is nothing you could have done.'

'Isn't there? I could have orbed her straight away but all I did was try pull her out from under the bed. I should have orbed her to safety'

'Paige…'

'Tea anyone?'

Piper opens the kitchen door with 2 mugs in her hands. She begins to walk over to join her sisters in the living room. The hall lights up as Piper walks through it.

'What the hell did you guys do?!' screams a voice.

Piper stops dead in her tracks. The mugs slip from her hands and crash to the floor. She knows that voice. Piper slowly begins to turn around to see who is standing behind her. Piper goes into shock as she discovers who is standing in front of her. Piper's legs become weak and buckle, not able to hold her up any longer.

Piper collapses and falls to the ground.
