Donnie's Dorm Room: Night
Donnie and Billie are on a sofa watching mean girls on TV. Donnie has his arm around Billie who is leaning her head on his side.
Donnie (bored): Why are we watching this?
Billie: Because it's funny. And it's a great film.
Donnie (bored): Well I have seen worse.
Billie glares at Donnie who smiles and kisses her. While they are kissing Donnie wraps his arms around Billie.
Suddenly Billie's phone begins to vibrate in her trouser pocket. Donnie and Billie stop kissing.
Donnie: Your leg's vibrating.
Billie takes her phone out of her pocket and opens it. On the screen it says Jess calling, Billie clicks a green button and holds it to her ear.
Billie (down phone): Hey… do you need me… okay. I'm on my way.
Billie hangs up the phone and puts it back in her pocket. She grabs her jacket off the back of the sofa.
Billie: I'm going to have to go for a bit, Jess has blown up the TV again. I'm sorry I will try to be back as soon as I can.
Billie bends down and kisses Donnie on the check and turns to leave as Donnie gets up.
Donnie: Do you want me to come and help you?
Billie (turning back round): No it's ok. You stay here and watch the film.
Billie smiles at Donnie then walks out the door closing it behind her.
Donnie (sarcastically): Yeah because I really want to watch a chick-flick.
Hallway Out-side Donnie's Dorm: Night
Billie walks down the hallway to meet Jess who is standing in the corner leaning against the wall.
Jess: Sorry was that a bad time to call?
Billie: It's ok, I feel better now that I made you look stupid. I told Donnie you blew up the TV and needed my help.
Jess (annoyed): Oh, thanks for that, now he's going to think I'm a dumb blonde.
Billie (smiling): What makes you think he doesn't already think that?
Jess: Let's get on to what were here for. Come on talk and walk.
Billie and Jess start walking down the stairs at the end of the hallway.
Billie: So what demons are we up against?
Jess: I don't know, but I know they like to prey on college students late at night.
Billie: So they could be the reason for a lot of people having wired moods in class lately.
Jess: Maybe.
Jess opens the door and her and Billie walk out onto the campus ground, Billie is about to say something when suddenly a scream is heard coming from the alley.
Billie and Jess look at each other then start to run down the campus towards the alleyway.
Opening credits to the song: Fight by Natalia Barbu.
Alleyway: Night
Jess and Billie run into the alleyway to see a young girl being attacked by three demons. One demon is getting close to her but gets thrown into a wall telekinetically by Billie.
Jess (to the girl): Run! Get out of here now.
The young girl runs past Billie and Jess back towards the college campus. The demon that Billie threw into a wall gets back up and joins the other two demons to form a line.
A figure appears behind the three demons and starts to walk forwards.
Figure: You're not trying to ruin my plans again, are you?
Jess (confused): You sound familiar. Who are you?
The figure laughs and comes out from behind the line of demons into the light in the alleyway.
Billie (shocked): Tom
Tom: Billie you're looking good. We can't have that can we?
Tom smiles at Billie who just stares at him not moving. Jess steps in front of Billie who is frozen.
Jess (angry): Get away from her now!
Tom looks at Jess and then to the line of demons standing just behind him.
Tom: Take care of this one (pointing at Jess) I'll sort out the other one.
The three demons charge at Jess who throws out her hands releasing an icy mist that freezes the first demon. The other two demons open their mouths and darts fly out towards Jess and Billie.
Jess jumps on a still frozen Billie and pushes her to the floor as the darts fly over their heads and explode on a wall. Jess looks at the two demons and Tom closing in on her and Billie. She shakes Billie who is still staring at Tom.
Jess (worried): Billie snap out of it. Now is not the best time to freeze up on me.
Tom forms a fireball in his hand and aims it at Jess. Before it has the chance to hit her it telekinetically gets thrown back at Tom and hits him in the chest, which makes him fall backwards.
Jess looks at Tom on the floor then back to Billie and smiles at her.
Jess: Good shot.
Billie (smiling): Let's kick these demons back to hell.
Jess and Billie smile at each other. Tom gets up off the ground and charges towards them forming a fireball in his hand.
Jess sees this and throws out her hands to release an icy mist but instead a skewer of ice flies out of the palm of her hand and into Tom's leg, which makes him fall to the ground in pain. Jess looks at her hand in astonishment.
The two demons open their mouths and throw more darts at Jess and Billie; Billie tries to telekinetically throw the darts back at the demons, which explodes one of them.
Billie misses a few darts, which crash into the wall and explode as well as one that flies into Jess's arm and stabs her.
Tom tries to throw a fireball at Billie but she deflects it into the already frozen demon and vanquishes it.
Tom and the remaining demon look at each other and then to Billie and Jess.
Tom (angry): This is not over.
Tom and the demon shimmer out leaving Jess and Billie alone in the alleyway.
Billie (worried): Are you okay? I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm sorry I froze.
Jess: its okay don't worry; the main thing is were okay. (excited) How the hell did I do that to Tom though?
Billie: Your powers must be getting stronger. Are you sure your okay, you did get hit with one of those darts.
Jess laughs at Billie who looks confused.
Billie (confused): What? Why are you laughing at me?
Jess (smiling): You really need to stop worrying so much. One of these days you will give yourself a heart attack. Come on lets go, I'm sure Donnie is waiting for you.
Billie and Jess get up and start to walk out of the alleyway back towards the college, Jess puts her arm around Billie as they walk.
Halliwell Manor Attic: Next Morning
Billie, Jess, Phoebe and Piper are in the attic. Phoebe and Piper are sat on the sofa as Billie and Jess look through the Book of Shadows.
Jess (frustrated): I can't find these demons anywhere in this book.
Piper: Did you say they threw darts out of their mouths?
Billie: Explosive ones.
Phoebe: Why didn't you vanquish them?
Billie: Well we did vanquish two of them, but the third one got away.
Piper: How did that happen?
Billie looks down to the floor and Jess notices this.
Jess: He just shimmered out before we had the chance to, that's all.
Suddenly Paige appears in a swirl of blue orbs, holding a book in her arms.
Paige (to Billie): There you are, I have been looking for you everywhere.
Billie (confused): Why?
Paige: I have something for you; let's go talk down stairs.
Billie follows Paige out of the attic as Jess leans on the table near to the Book of shadows.
Phoebe: Jess what aren't you telling us?
Jess (annoyed): You know, this empathy is getting very annoying now.
Piper: I know what you mean. Now spill.
Jess (excited): My ice power grew stronger last night. While fighting the demons I threw an ice skewer at them instead of freezing the one of them.
Phoebe: Well that's great news; see told you that training would pay off. Now tell us why that demon got away.
Jess (annoyed): All right. Tom was there; he was working with the demons.
Piper: What does that have to do with the demon getting away though?
Phoebe: Billie froze didn't she?
Jess: It wasn't until Tom nearly hit us with a fireball that she unfroze. I didn't tell you before because she feels really bad about it.
Halliwell Manor Dinning Room: Morning
Billie and Paige are in the dinning room in front of the table. Paige hands Billie a book.
Paige: I found that book at magic school. It has some information about Tom in it.
Billie (upset): What kind of information?
Paige: His history, Family tree, powers and how to vanquish him. I thought you might want it for if you ever run into him again.
Billie: Thanks (quietly) would have been handy last night.
Paige (confused): What? Did you girls run into some trouble last night?
Billie: Yes, one of the demons we were fighting got away, so we wanted to ID him. But the book does not have any information.
Paige: Did they have any special traits?
Billie: They threw darts from their mouths.
Paige: That's different. I'll be back in a bit
Billie: Where are you going?
Paige: To see if I can find anything at magic school.
A swirl of blue orbs form around Paige and she disappears. Billie looks at the book Paige gave her and walks into the kitchen.
Halliwell Manor Kitchen: Morning
Billie walks in the kitchen and places the book on the kitchen table. She goes over to the sink and picks up a glass. She fills it with water from the tap and drinks some, leaning back on the kitchen sink.
Billie looks over to the book. She looks upset. Billie walks over to the table and sits down, placing her glass of water on the table.
She opens the book and finds the pages on Tom; she starts to read as Phoebe walks in and sits down at the table opposite her.
Phoebe: Hey, what are you reading?
Billie: This book Paige found for me. It's got information about Tom in it.
Phoebe: Sounds like you and Jess could have done with it last night.
Billie looks up and across to Phoebe who smiles at her.
Phoebe: Billie you shouldn't feel bad about freezing, if I were you I would have done the same, anyone would have. Everyone is really worried about you.
Billie: I'll be okay.
Phoebe: I know you will sweetie.
Billie: How?
Phoebe: Because I remember what you're going through. I fell in love with a demon too, it hurts to begin with, but eventually it gets better. You don't have to go through this alone Billie; we're all here for you.
Billie: I don't understand why I froze like that.
Phoebe: You may never understand it. You could have been scared, or you could still love Tom a bit and you're just not aware of it.
Billie (upset): Do you think Christy's disappointed with me?
Phoebe (confused): Why would she be disappointed with you?
Billie (upset): When she came to magic school to help us she asked me to try to open up to you guys about what was going on with Tom, but I didn't. I didn't let anyone know until he poisoned me. I hope she isn't disappointed with me for not having the courage to tell you.
Phoebe: I don't think she is. I think she would have liked you to have the courage to tell us, but she knows as well as me that you rarely ask for help when you need it. Seriously though Billie, you have killed her twice and she still loves you to bits. It's going to take a lot more to make her disappointed in you. Besides this is Christy we're talking about, if she was disappointed in you, she would have told you by now.
Phoebe smiles at Billie who laughs as Paige appears out of a swirl of blue orbs with another book in her arms.
Paige: I found your demons; they are called the Dartmore Brothers. Their powers are to throw darts from their mouths and to shimmer. The darts they throw turn people crazy and are also the only way to kill them, along with fire.
Billie (worried): Did you say their darts turn people crazy?
Paige: That's what the book says, why?
Billie gets up from the table and goes to run out the room.
Billie (realizing): A dart hit Jess.
Phoebe and Paige look at each other worried then follow Billie out the room.
Halliwell Manor Attic: Midday
Billie, Phoebe and Paige run in the attic to see Jess holding Piper up in the air spinning her around. Jess throws Piper across the room.
Paige (throwing out her hands): Sofa!
The sofa orbs from its position to where Piper is about to land. Piper thumps down on it hard and places her hand over her eyes.
Piper (in pain): I think I'm going to be sick.
Jess starts throwing ice skewers around the room while spinning in a circle screaming, Billie watches her looking worried and walks a little closer to her.
Billie (worried): Jess?
Jess stops throwing ice skewers around the room and stands still staring at Billie. She looks Billie in the eyes screams at her and then charges at her.
Jess jumps on Billie and they both hit the floor hard. Jess gets on top of Billie and holds her down to the floor. Piper sits up on the sofa and flicks her hands to try to freeze Jess but nothing happens.
Phoebe: Freeze her!
Piper: I'm trying!
Paige (throwing out her hands): Lamp!
Paige orbs a lamp off the table on to Jess's head, which smashes the lamp. Jess looks up at Paige angrily and throws an ice skewer from the palm of her hand at her.
Paige orbs out as the ice skewer hits the wall and drops to the floor. Paige then orbs back in.
Billie telekinetically blasts Jess off of her on to the floor over the other side of the attic. Billie gets up and goes over to her holding her down to the ground and keeping her hands palm face down.
Billie: Jess snap out of it, this is just the demons darts making you crazy.
Jess (angry): I'm not the crazy one. You are, you bitch!
Jess kicks Billie off of her using both her legs to make Billie fly in the air. Billie does a kick flip in the air to levitate back down to the ground.
Phoebe: Quick find something to tie her to.
Jess gets up off the floor and throws ice skewers at Billie on her left and right side, which Billie dodges by jumping down the ground.
Phoebe goes behind Jess and grabs her throwing her arms around her stomach to keep Jess's arms down and to hold her still. Jess struggles to try to get away.
Billie picks up a piece of rope that was behind her while Paige gets a chair. Phoebe puts Jess in the chair while Billie ties the rope around her stomach, arms and to the back of the chair.
Jess (angry): Get off of me you crazy bitches!
Phoebe (raising her eyebrow): Who are you calling crazy?
Jess screams and throws an ice skewer at Phoebe which Piper blows up as she brings some parcel tape over to Paige.
Piper: We need something to cover her hands.
Paige: Oven gloves!
Suddenly blue orbs appear around Jess's hands, when they are gone Jess's hands are covered with oven gloves. Paige takes the parcel tape off of Piper and wraps some around the oven gloves on her hands, and then tapes her legs to the chair.
Piper: Oven gloves were the best you could think of?
Paige glares at Piper.
Piper: I'm just kidding.
Jess starts screaming in her chair and struggling to get free. Billie picks up a cloth from the side table and folds it in half.
Billie: Jess
Jess (angry): What!
As Jess says "what!" Billie puts the cloth in her mouth and ties it round the back of her head.
Billie: I'm sorry.
Jess glares at Billie angrily.
Piper: I have to say that screaming was doing my head in too.
Billie (to Paige): Was there anything in that book on how to reverse it?
Paige: It said to vanquish the demons so we only have one more to vanquish now.
Billie: No I only have one more to vanquish. I want to do this by myself.
Paige: Billie I'm your white lighter it's my job to help and guide you. So let me do my job.
Billie: You can by making me the vanquishing potion for Tom.
Piper: Why do you need a potion for Tom?
Billie: He's working with the demon. So If I scry for him I should find the demon with him. And if the demon is not with him, I'll find out from him where the demon is.
Piper: Ok I can see your logic there. But going up against the guy who just beat you for over a month alone is plain stupid.
Paige: Billie you might not be ready to face him.
Piper: And with you freezing in front of him again, he could kill you.
Billie: I won't freeze this time. I need to see him again.
Paige: Why?
Phoebe: Let her go
Piper (shocked): Phoebe?
Phoebe: Let her go, she needs to do this. You two won't understand why but she has to do this alone.
Billie smiles at Phoebe who smiles back.
Paige (sighing): Ok. Just make sure you have some extra teleportation potions with you, just in case things get too much for you. You will probably be in the underworld.
Billie: I will.
Paige: Let's get to work on this potion then.
Paige walks over to the table where the caldron is and starts to make the vanquishing potion as Billie walks over to the other table that has her laptop on and sits on the floor by the table.
Billie gets a ring out of her pocket and holds it in her hand over a crystal wired up to the laptop and starts to scry for Tom.
Phoebe walks over to Billie and sits next to her on the floor.
Phoebe: How are you feeling?
Billie: Okay.
Phoebe: How are you really feeling?
Billie: As though I'm about to vomit.
Phoebe: Billie don't feel ashamed and disappointed if you can't vanquish him. I couldn't vanquish Cole, the demon I was in love with the first time. We won't be angry with you, well Piper might shout a bit but you know Piper.
Billie: She does like to worry. I don't think she wants me to do this
Phoebe: Piper is worried about you; she doesn't want to see you get hurt again. She cares about you a lot.
Billie: It seems weird to think that only a few months ago I heard her say that she was unsure about our friendship.
Phoebe: It's surprising how much people can change isn't it?
Billie's computer begins to bleep and a red dot appears on the screen. Billie takes her hand off the mouse and puts Tom's ring back in her pocket.
Billie: I found him. He's in the underworld.
Paige pours a black coloured liquid into a vial and puts a cork stopper in it. she walks round the table to the middle of the room.
Billie and Phoebe walk into the middle of the room to meet Piper and Paige, Paige gives Billie the potion.
Paige: Billie you don't have to do this alone. We can help.
Billie: I need to do this.
Paige: Okay. Just make sure you get out of there if things get too much for you.
Billie (smiling): I will.
Phoebe: Remember what we talked out.
Billie nods at Phoebe who smiles. Piper walks up to Billie.
Piper (smiling): Good luck.
Billie smiles back at Piper as she takes a blue vial out of her pocket and throws it to the floor. Billie disappears in a cloud of smoke.
Underworld Passage
Billie appears out of a cloud of smoke in a passage in the underworld leading to a small chamber.
Billie looks around to see no one in the passage. She walks into the chamber and sees the last of the Dartmore Brothers eating bread sitting next to a rock pillar.
The demon does not see Billie as she walks up behind him. Billie telekinetically pulls the bread out of the demons hands and makes it fly into her hand.
The demon turns round angrily to see Billie waving the bread in his face. Billie throws the bread over to the other side of the chamber.
Billie (cocky): Oh, I'm sorry. Was that you dinner?
The demon looks at her angrily and charges at her. He goes to punch Billie in the face but she blocks him and kicks him in the stomach making him flinch backwards.
Tom (telepathically in Billie's head): Well done, that was a good vanquish.
The demon opens his mouth and lets out four darts, which fly towards Billie. She ducks out of the way of the darts and lets them fly over her head. Three of the darts fly into the chamber wall and explode but Billie telekinetically flies the last dart back towards the demon.
The dart hits the demon in the heart exploding him in a cloud of smoke. Billie smiles as she walks into the middle of the chamber. She then stops still and looks uneasy as she hears Tom's voice in her head.
Billie (frustrated): Where are you?
Tom (jokingly): Flying in the sky
Billie looks up to the ceiling of the chamber to see Tom hanging down from a rock pillar. Tom jumps down off the rock pillar onto the floor in front of Billie and smiles at her.
Tom: What are you so frustrated for. You should be happy, after all you past the test.
Tom walks around Billie to the other side of the chamber, Billie turns round to face him and looks confused.
Billie: What test?
Tom: You'll find out when you're ready.
Billie: What does that mean? When you beat me was that another one of your tests?
Tom: Billie if I could have done that test in a different way, I would have. But orders are orders, and my boss is not the kind of boss you want to disobey. Unless you want to die.
Billie: So you would rather be killed by your ex – girlfriend. Who you abused for over a month.
Tom looks at Billie shocked and sees her get a black vial out of her pocket. He then glares at her.
Tom: You don't have the courage to use that. You're not ready.
Billie: Aren't I?
Billie and Tom glare at each other. Billie then throws the potion at Tom. He stares at the potion coming towards him fast, before it hits him he shimmers out of the way and the potion hits the wall of the chamber and explodes.
Billie looks around the chamber for Tom, she looks worried. Suddenly Tom shimmers in behind her and holds her still. He bends his head down towards her ear.
Tom (whispering): I underestimated you. Maybe you were ready.
Tom swings Billie around and pushes her into the rock pillar. He stands close to her and holds her arms against the rock pillar.
Tom: But I don't think you are. And even if you are, it's not my time. I still have a lot of work to do before you can find out my plan. But you will find out soon, don't worry.
Tom picks Billie's head up so she is looking up to him and holds her chin in his hand so she can't look away.
Tom (softly): I'll see you soon.
Tom kisses Billie on the lips and then shimmers out. Billie looks up to the ceiling leaning against the rock pillar to try to stop herself from crying. She turns round and starts punching the rock pillar.
Halliwell Manor Attic: Evening
Paige is leaning on the table that's next to the chair that Jess is tied up on. Phoebe is sat on the sofa, which is now back in its normal place.
Piper is pacing frantically around the room, looking very worried.
Piper (worried): What if she's dead or hurt? She should not have been this long.
Paige: She probably just needs some time. It would not be easy for her to vanquish him, she loved him.
Phoebe: And even if she did not vanquish him, seeing him would have been hard for her. She'll be back in given time.
Suddenly a cloud of smoke appears in the middle of the attic. When the smoke has gone Billie is standing in the middle of the attic her hands have blood on them and look dirty.
Piper (worried): Billie are you okay? What happened? What took you so long?
Billie (tired): Sorry I took so long, I needed some time alone.
Paige: Was you able to vanquish him?
Billie (tired): He shimmered out before the potion hit him.
Jess (muffled through cloth): Excuse me!
Billie goes over to Jess and starts to untie her. She takes the cloth out of Jess's mouth and takes off her oven gloves.
Billie: Sorry I forgot you were still tied up.
Jess: I did notice that
Jess and Billie start to untie Jess's legs from the chair. Jess finishes untying her legs and notices Billie hands are bleeding.
Jess: Billie don't start doing this to your self again.
Billie: I was just angry.
Jess (smiling): Remind me to buy you a punching bag.
Billie and Jess laugh as Jess gets up out of the chair and stretches. Jess then puts her arm around Billie.
Jess: Are you ok?
Billie nods at her and smiles.
Jess: I'm sorry for going crazy on you guys. I didn't hurt you did I.
Piper: No you didn't, don't worry.
Phoebe: We all get turned in to weird things, at one time or another.
Paige: I guess it comes with the job.
Jess: That sucks; glad to know I'm not the only one though. We have to go now; I have a date to get ready for.
Phoebe: Oh, you do, do you? What's his name?
Jess: His name is Kyle. Come on Billie you have to help me get ready.
Billie: Okay I'm coming, see you guys soon.
Piper and Phoebe smile and wave at Billie and Jess as they turn round and go to leave.
Paige: Bye, don't get in to anymore trouble.
Billie: We won't.
Jess: Well we'll try.
Billie and Jess laugh as they walk out the attic doorway.
Piper: Do you think she's going to be ok?
Paige: I think so. She's got Jess and us if she needs help, she's strong I think she can handle this. Don't you Phoebe?
Phoebe: I don't know. What she's going through is different to me. Yes we both have been in love with a demon, but Cole never hurt me physically. Billie has been hurt not just emotionally but physically as well. I don't know how she's going to deal with this after everything she has already been through.
Billie's Dorm Room: Night
Billie is sat on the floor leaning against her bed. Tears are rolling down her checks as she looks at a picture of her and Tom.
Billie (crying): Why did I have to fall in love with you?
Underworld Chamber
Tom is leaning against a rock pillar holding the same photo that Billie has. His eyes are filling with tears as he looks at it.
Tom (upset): I know what you mean babe.
As Tom continues to look at the photo of him and Billie, a tear slowly starts to fall from his eye down his check.
