Continuation of chapter 3
(At Halliwell manor. Phoebe presses play on the answering machine.)
Roger: Prue, it's Roger. I've decided to let you come back to work. Seriously, let's talk. Bye.
(Prue comes in holding a cat.)
Prue: Piper's definitely not home unless she's turned into a cat.
Julia: How'd the cat get in?
Prue: I don't know. Someone must have left the window open. Um, did Piper leave a message?
Phoebe: She's probably out with Jeremy. Roger called.
Prue: Yeah, I heard.
(The front door opens.)
Piper: Prue?
Phoebe: In here. (Piper locks the door.) Piper?
Prue: Oh my gosh, what is it? What's wrong?
Piper: Lock the doors, check the windows. We don't have a lot of time. Julia, in the Book Of Shadows, did it say how to get rid of a ...
Julia: Warlock?
Prue: Oh my gosh!
(In the elevator, Jeremy is waking up. He grabs the knife and runs outside.)
Jeremy: I'll get you, you bitch.
(In the Halliwell manor.)
Prue: I'm calling the cops.
Piper: And tell them what? That we're witches? That some freak with powers beyond comprehension is trying to kill us? Even if the cops did come, they'd be no match for Jeremy, and we'd be next.
Phoebe: (At the top of the stairs) Julia found the answer, come on.
(In the attic. They are sitting in a circle on the floor around a low table. They have placed candles in a circle around them.)
Prue: Okay, we've placed the nine candles anointed with oil and spices in a circle.
Piper: Wait, I only count eight.
Julia: Oh you forgot this one. (She holds up a birthday candle.)
Piper: A birthday candle?
Phoebe: (shrugs her shoulders) I guess Grams was a little low on witch supplies.
Prue: Alright, we need the poppet.
Piper: Got it.
(Julia lights the birthday candle and puts it in the pot.)
Prue: Right, we're set. Get ready to cast the spell.
Piper: Okay, first I'll make it stronger. (She gets a rose and places it on top of the poppet.) "Your love with wither and depart, from my life and my heart, let me be, Jeremy, and go away forever." (She presses the rose thorn into the poppet and places it in the pot.) Okay, the spell's complete.
Prue: Let's hope it works.
(They watch the poppet and rose burn. It then explodes and catches on fire.)
(Jeremy is walking down the street then suddenly he starts screaming in pain. Hundreds of thorns tear through his skin.)
(In the attic. They are cleaning up. Phoebe picks up the pot and has a premonition.)
Phoebe: Wait! It didn't work.
Piper: What?
Phoebe: The spell, it didn't work.
Julia: How do you know?
Phoebe: When I touched the pot, I had a flash. I saw Jeremy.
Prue: You touched the pot and you saw him?
Phoebe: He's on his way here.
(They run out of the attic and down the stairs. They run to the door and Prue opens it. Jeremy is standing there. Piper and Phoebe scream.)
Jeremy: Hello, ladies. (Prue stands in front of Phoebe and Piper. They slowly walk backwards. Prue uses her power and he hits the wall.)
Prue: Piper, Phoebe, Julia, get out of here now! (They run upstairs.)
Jeremy: Cool parlor trick, bitch. You were always the tough one weren't you, Prue?
(She uses her powers again so he hits the wall. She runs upstairs.)
Prue: Julia, you're right, our powers are growing.
Piper: Put as many things against the door as you can.
(They push a dresser against the door and puts a chair on top of it.)
Jeremy: (From outside) Take me now, Prue. My powers are stronger than yours. (He laughs.) Do you think a chair will stop me? (The chair slides off the dresser.) Do you think a dresser will stop me? (The dresser slides away from the door.) Haven't you witches figured it out yet? Nothing, nothing can keep us away. (He laughs again.)
Piper: What do we do? We're trapped.
(The door explodes and there stands Jeremy. Prue, Piper, Julia and Phoebe scream.)
Prue: Come on, we'll face him together. Do you remember the spirit board?
Piper: The inscription on the back.
Prue: The power of four forevermore. (A circle of fire surrounds them. They hold hands.) Come on, we gotta say it together.
Prue/Piper/Phoebe/Julia: The power of four forevermore. (They continue the chant over and over. Then strong wind blows around them. They keep chanting.)
Jeremy: I am not the only one! I am one of millions! In places you can't even imagine! In forms you would never believe! We are hell on this earth! You will never be safe! And you will never be free!
(Jeremy explodes and disappears.)
Prue: The power of four.
(At the Halliwell manor the next day)
Prue: Everything will be different now.
Julia: Well, at least our lives won't be boring.
Prue: But they'll never be the same.
Phoebe: And this is a bad thing?
Prue: No. But it could be a big problem.
Piper: Prue's right. What are we gonna do?
Phoebe/Julia: What can't we do?
Prue: We are gonna be careful, we're gonna be wise and we're gonna stick together.
Piper: This should be interesting.
Andy's apartment. Andy is asleep in his bed. Prue's there sneaking around and putting her clothes on. Andy makes a noise and rolls over. His alarm clock beeps and she uses her power to throw it out the window. Prue leaves. Andy wakes up.]
Andy: Prue?
(At the Manor, in the Kitchen. Piper's watching TV and whisking some eggs. Prue comes in.)
Prue: Morning.
Piper: Morning.
Prue: What are you watching?
Piper: Nothing. (She turns off the TV.) Just a show.
Prue: About witches? Are you worried we're gonna be burnt at the stake?
Piper: Yeah, right. By the way, Andy called.
Prue: When?
Piper: While you were in the shower. Bad date?
Prue: No. No, no. Not at all. It was great. You know, dinner, movie, sex.
Piper: Excuse me? On you're first date? You sleaze.
Prue: It wasn't exactly our first date, Piper.
Piper: High school doesn't count. That was last decade. Spill it. (Prue walks in the living room.) Ooh, that bad, huh?
Prue: No, actually that good. It was... well, we were naked. But that's not the point. I told myself that things would be different. That we would take it slow. It just shouldn't of happened, that's all.
(Phoebe and Julia comes down the stairs.)
Phoebe: What shouldn't of happened?
Piper: Prue slept with Andy.
Julia: Hello, there is a kid in the room
Prue: Thanks a lot, mouth.
Phoebe: Wait, you were gonna tell her but not me? Family meeting
Prue: You're 15, Phoebe. You don't need to know about what I do on my dates.
Phoebe: (huffs and rolls her eyes)
Prue: (sternly) Don't roll your eyes at me, Phoebe Marie Halliwell.
(They walk in the solarium. Prue sits down.)
Phoebe: (sarcastically) Fine. I'm sorry, mom.
Prue: (shakes her head) Whatever, I give up
(Inside Quake. Prue walks up to Piper.)
Piper: Cindy, come on, your salmon's up. Hector, way behind. We need clean plates.
Prue: You didn't give Andy my cell phone number by any chance did you?
Piper: No, why?
Prue: Never mind.
Piper: Remind me I wanted to do this for a living, right?
Prue: Looks like you're not the only one of us who's going to be doing anything for a living. Look how bad my interview went.
Piper: I can't imagine you were less than stellar.
(Prue notices Phoebe sitting at a table with Stefan, who.)
Prue: What's Phoebe doing here?
Piper: Flirting.
Prue: Yeah, I see that but why. She's supposed to be at home with Julia
Piper: Don't ask me
(She walks away. Prue walks up to Phoebe.)
Phoebe: Prue, hi. This is my other sister. Prue, this is Stefan the photographer.
Stefan: Pleasure.
Prue: Likewise. (They shake hands.) What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at home.
Phoebe: I finished my homework, and Julia's at the library with a friend
Prue: I didn't know that. She didn't even call me.
Phoebe: Not my problem. Why don't you talk to Julia about it?
Prue: Can we talk, Phoebe? Somewhere private?
Phoebe: Will you excuse me for a second? I'll be right back
(Phoebe and Prue walk away. Stefan looks at his hand and it's turning really old.)
[In the kitchen. Prue and Phoebe walk in.)
Prue: (sternly) Phoebe Marie Halliwell, what is with your attitude? Do you have some kind of problem?
Phoebe: Yes, I do. My problem is you. You treat me like I'm five years old.
Prue: Well I'm sorry for being over protective. I just don't want anything to happen to any of my sisters. Especially now that we have powers.
Phoebe: (hugs Prue) I'm sorry too sissy. I shouldn't be so rude to you
Prue: (hugs Phoebe and smiles) I forgive you, Pheebs.
(Piper comes up to them.)
Piper: What are you guys doing in here?
Prue: We were just leaving
(At the Manor, in the Attic. Piper's looking in the Book Of Shadows. Julia walks in.]
Julia: Hey, what are you doing?
Piper: Reading. Thinking.
Julia: About what?
Piper: About how totally screwed we are now that we're witches.
Julia: Oh, that.
Piper: You don't understand, you don't think we are. You're never afraid of anything. I envy that about you, I have since I met you.
Julia: Yeah, well, don't because it gets me in trouble sometimes. Piper, talk to me.
Piper: I don't know, it's like my whole life I have been like everybody else. Rushing off to work, going out on bad dates, buying shoes and suddenly I wake up one day and everything is different. We're witches now. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Julia: Are you kidding? It's a great thing.
Piper: You don't know that. We don't know anything about these powers. Why we have them, what they mean, where they come from. I mean, how do we know it's not... how do we know it's not from evil?
Julia: Piper, we've been through this. We're good witches.
Piper: What about Jeremy? What about all the other warlocks he said would be coming after us. How do we know we're not just like them? That is what scares me. We don't know. I just wanna be normal again. As messed up as that was. Is that too much to ask for?
Julia: Piper, listen to me. In the short amount of time I've know you, I've learned that you are the most sweetest, most caring person I've ever met. No, I mean that, you are. You're always there to help anybody, even strangers. There's no way you've been given this, this gift if it wasn't to do good things with it. To protect the innocent just like the Book Of Shadows said. Besides, if anyone is concerned of being bad, it would be Phoebe and I, am I right? (Piper laughs) You've got nothing to be afraid of. Now, I'm going to get my picture taken.
Piper: (Firmly) Where, Julia?
Julia: (lying, but believably) Prue's taking me
(In the Manor. Prue enters.)
Prue: Piper? Phoebe? Julia? Guess what?
(Brittany walks in the foyer.)
Brittany: What?
(Piper walks in holding a bowl.)
Piper: Prue, where's Julia?
Prue: Isn't she with you?
Piper: No, she said you were taking her to get her picture taken.
Prue: No, why would I?
Piper: I don't know. (hands Brittney the bowl.) Here you go, Brittany. Why don't you go sit down at the table, okay?
(Brittany walks over to the table.)
Prue: Um, sorry, Brittany?
Piper: You're not gonna believe this. I'm not sure I do. I think... no, I know, this woman is Brittany Reynolds.
Prue: Yeah, right, Piper and I'm Rosey O'Donnell.
Piper: No, I mean it. Brittany had a tattoo, right? An angel on her right hand, remember?
(Prue looks over at Brittany and notices the tattoo.)
Prue: That can't be.
Piper: That's what I thought at first but then I started asking her some questions. Things only Brittany would know. She may be senile but it was enough to convince me.
(At Stefan's photography place. Julia arrives in a taxi. She gets out holding a dress. She walks over and knocks on the door.)
Julia: Stefan, it's Julia. I'm Phoebe's sister
(Julia touches the door handle to turn the door, but something tells her it's a bad idea. Julia runs back to the taxi and gets in. Someone grabs her from the backseat.)
(At the Manor, in the Attic. Prue and Piper walk over to the Book Of Shadows.)
Prue: Piper, what are you talking about?
Piper: I'm telling you. I saw something about it in the Book Of Shadows. (She starts flipping through the book. She finds the page.) Okay, look, see? Javna feeds one week out of every year, stealing the life force from the young.
Prue: By evoking the black magic power, the evil eye to sustain eternal youth.
Piper: It's gotta be what happened to Brittany.
Prue: Yeah, but there must be some kind of incantation to reverse it.
Piper: There is. "The hand of fatima." It says that the Prophet Mohammad centuries ago to banish Javna back to where ever the hell he came from.
Prue: Yeah, well, the problem is we don't know who Javna is, let alone where he is.
(Downstairs. Brittany sees the address of Stefan's photograph place and she faints.)
(In the attic. Prue and Piper hear her.)
Piper: Brittany? (They run downstairs to Brittany.) Oh my God, what happened?
Prue: Brittany, are you alright?
Piper: I'll call 911.
Prue: And tell them what? That she's dying of old age at 25? (Piper picks up the napkin that the address is on.) What is it?
Piper: It's a cocktail napkin from my restaurant. With Stefan's address on the back.
Brittany: Javna.
Piper: Prue, that's where Julia went.
(At Stefan's photography place. Julia is tied to a table.)
Julia: Wait, Stefan or whoever you are, let me go.
Javna: It's Javna.
(Javna's eyes glow and Julia screams.)
(Outside. Prue, Phoebe and Piper pull up in the car.)
Prue: Do you see anything?
Phoebe: No. Prue...
Prue: Look, we'll find her.
Piper: Maybe we should call the police.
Phoebe: No, if Javna has her then we're the only ones who can stop him.
Piper: But we need Julia to do it. The incantation only work with the four of us.
(They hear Julia scream.)
[Cut to inside A bright light comes out of Javna's eyes into Julia's. Phoebe, Piper and Prue come in. Prue uses her power and throws Javna across the room. The bright light then goes into Prue's eyes. Piper unties Julia.]
Piper: Julia, we don't have a lot of time, okay?
Phoebe: Prue, grab the mirror.
(Prue grabs a mirror and puts it in front of her face and reflects the light back into Javna's eyes. Prue gets the spell and they start chanting.)
Prue: Now.
Prue/Piper/Phoebe/Julia: "Evil eyes look unto thee, may they soon extinguished be, bend they will to the power of four, eye of earth, evil and accursed."
(They repeat it. Javna turns into a skeleton and then into dust and disappears.)
(At the manor. Brittany turns young again.)
I hope you enjoy. Two chapters in one day. Hooray!
