ACT 1

Teaser

Cut to: A seer demon is focusing on a vision as we zoom in on her face and most importantly her clouded eye.

Cut to: a view of a bedroom door. The door opens and Phoebe enters the room looking dressed up for a date or maybe an interview for her advice column. She sets down on the bed in the room.

Phoebe: (excitedly) Piper! I think Coop might…Hey, what's up with the book?

Piper: Honestly, I don't know. Something doesn't feel right about the vanquish today. I feel…unprotected, unsafe.

Phoebe: Have you tried a clearing potion? Maybe you need to do some yoga or deep breathing? I'm sure its stress.

Cut to: a view of the Seer as her eye becomes un-clouded by her vision. She blinks.

Demon from vanquish: Well… are the Charmed Ones oblivious?

Seer: I believe the eldest has tapped in to her motherly instincts, deeply. She is on edge. She feels out in the midst of the cross fire, unprotected.

Demon from vanquish: Is she demon searching?

Seer: No, sire but she is clinging closely to her precious book.

Cut to: a view of the demons sitting around a table behind the demon from earlier and the Seer. A demon stands up.

Demon: They think we are dead. They won't be expecting us. Now is the best time to strike them down, especially the pregnant witch.

Seer: No! They still feel watched, they will be prepared. Wait until Paige is all they can think about, and her precious twins.

Demon from earlier: James and I will be in contact with the Seer, watching. For the rest of you, wait until you are called. We have to attack them and tear their family unit apart, bone…by bone!

Cut to: a view of Paige talking to the young man.

Piper: Yes! That's it, I knew I felt something. I've been on edge like this for weeks.

Wyatt: Its coming. This group has no name and you won't find it in any spell book. Its hidden itself for years.

Piper: Tell me what you know about them.

Cut to: a view of the platformed room. Three demons cloaked in black face a bank of desks where other demons sit.

James: The witch may have over-heard us. Therefore we are in great danger. You all have been assigned to watch and protect us and our plan.

Demon from earlier who the Charmed ones thought they'd vanquished: You will be sent out on strikes to keep the witches distracted.

Piper: Okay, Wyatt came here to warn me of a source of evil magic more powerful then we've ever faced and Phoebe…

Phoebe: I was visited by Cole. To warn me of the same thing. Paige…

Paige: A student of mine visited me. Orbed me to hell and back, literally. Then proceeded to warn me about this evil force that is going to surface.

Piper: I'm wondering, why did they send Wyatt, and Cole and one of Paiges students. Why not round us up and let one of the elders handle it.

Paige: Maybe they didn't, maybe we did. Think about it. They sent these people because they were relatable to us.

Piper: Jump to the point Missy Paige!

Phoebe: Piper, Wyatt was sent to you because you were worried about your children. Cole was sent to me because Coop proposed and Cole was after all my first husband. And Paige was visited by a student because of her pregnancy. She can relate because her students were like her children.

Piper: Right, they needed us to listen. So what do we do?

Cut to: a view of the book. It glows brightly under Pipers resting hands.

Cut to: a view of the sisters as Piper opens the book.

Cut to: a view of the book as it turns back to the Darklighters page.
