Scott looked up from the kitchen counter and looked at his dad who was running over the house looking for his briefcase, "I have to find those papers, the kids are really excited to find out their grades and they should be, no one failed." "Dad," Scott said slowly, "look by the front door." "Thanks son, I'll be home by four, try to have a good day.
You're really lucky that you don't have to go to summer school, guess it's a sign to keep those grades up." Scott smiled gently and then looked at Amanda who orbed in slowly, the blue lights circling around her as the front door closed. Scott realized the seriousness in her voice and his smile faded as he began to feel something strange from her, something that he rarely ever got from her even when the strongest demon was going to attack.
"What's wrong?" Amanda looked down, and then looked back up to him, "The Charmed Ones need you, I need you to go to them now and tell them who you are, there is no time to waste, they will fill you in." Scott nodded his head as a demon jumped through the window. Amanda orbed out as Scott transformed himself invisible and ran out the front door.
Piper, Paige and Phoebe stood in the attic when the door opened. The three of them looked up expecting Leo, but was surprised to find no one there. "That's strange," Phoebe said, looking at Piper, "If it's a ghost I sure don't see one." Scott appeared in front of them quickly, as if he appeared from the surroundings, "I'm not a ghost, I'm a witch, like yourselves, I'm the one that the book fortells."
The three sisters looked at him in shock, until Piper finally spoke up, "Your father isn't a witch, is he?" Scott shook his head, "I get my witchcraft from my mother's side, I know this may seem crazy but my white lighter told me to tell you who I am now, she said that you will fill me in." A group of blue lights appeared and then changed into two forms as Amanda and Leo appeared next to them. "Girls, this is Amanda, Amanda, these are my charges, the Charmed Ones." Amanda pushed her long black hair from her face and smiled gently, "It's nice to meet you, I hear about you all the time."
"Thanks, you must be Scott's white lighter?" Amanda nodded, "I was the one who told him not to tell you until the time was right, I didn't want to risk demons learning his secret until we couldn't wait any longer, the elders have been having powerful visions of what is to come and it must change quickly." Piper looked at Scott, "Apparently you're the only one who can say the spell with us, we all wrote a spell together," she said, holding it up. Scott smiled as the paper became transparent and then seemed to vanish, although Piper could feel the paper, "Don't worry, I'm ready."
Phoebe leaned over to Piper and whispered in to her ear, "Not to say I told you so, but I told you so." Piper smiled as the paper reappeared in Piper's hand. She walked over and handed it to Scott taking note of the mature emotions being displayed by his face, it was almost as if he were an older gentleman looking for something.
Phoebe placed her hand on the Book of Shadows and looked at the sisters dreadfully, a serious emotion of pain on her face. Her eyes were open, Paige noticed, so she couldn't have been having a vision. "I'm seeing an image of a lake with black water, it's really murky and I think that its underground, there are words appearing, I'm trying to read it." Amanda turned to Scott and looked into his eyes. She realized what he was thinking and somehow he was having the same vision too. "When in a place of ancient dread, you must for-tell a welded head, but to the ones who are Charmed and free, with this journey a death shall be," Phoebe said, as the vision ended.
Scott looked at Amanda and nodded, telling her that he was alright, and then he looked at Phoebe, "It's telling us where to find the demon, but if we go one of us will die." Phoebe held her hands together, "That's what they say, but that doesn't mean we can't change it or they're simply trying to scare us, for all we know we can go there and have no trouble what so ever." Paige stared at the book as a large gust of wind drew their attention to the door. A demon appeared with dark black eyes, his hair a strange transluscent white.
His height was about six feet tall but his body seemed taller as he was joined by a powerful blast of wind protecting him from physical objects. Scott raised his hand as Amanda and Leo vanished from their sight, but somehow Paige felt that they were still there, but hidden. Piper threw up her hands causing the wind to freeze, but the demon remained active, "My shield is working better than I expected," he said gently, as a large burst of air flew towards them. Paige orbed out while Phoebe and Piper were touched by Scott, and then the three of them vanished and then reappeared. Paige held out her hand and looked over to the corner, "Meet us downtown, in my old apartment." Slowly the girls vanished along with Scott, leaving the demon by himself. His anger flared as a circle of fire lit around the Book of Shadows, but a magical spell caused the book to vanish from the danger. "They're on their way, summon the first sign," the demon said a moment before he vanished as quickly as he left.
