CHAPTER 2
10:00 PM
Piper was shopping downtown at a store along with Phoebe and Paige.
PIPER: Do you think we need this?
Piper held up something that looked similar to food.
PAIGE: It looks like.
PHOEBE: I don't think I can eat that.
PIPER: Njaeh.
When they were done filling their bags they walked up to the counter and paid for their groceries then continued out on the street.
PAIGE: Don't you think it's kind of dangerous to walk here in the middle of the night?
PIPER: Nah I think we can take pretty good care of ourselves.
PHOEBE: Well I used to live here and we should always keep our eyes open you never know what kind of demon is going to sneak up behind your back.
COLE: Hi Phoebe.
PHOEBE: Oh the irony.
Phoebe turns and faces Cole.
PHOEBE: Cole! What are you doing here?
COLE: I just thought id stop by and say hi, as well as pick up a few groceries.
PHOEBE: In New York? Cole you live in San Francisco not New York.
COLE: Not anymore.
PHOEBE: What?
COLE: I've started a chain of nightclubs.
PHOEBE: A chain of nightclubs?
COLE: Yeah, I'm going to have a grand opening of one here in New York and would like to invite you. You can also have your new magazine write an article about it.
PHOEBE: Cole, no.
COLE: It would be great publicity for your magazine.
PHOEBE: Cole, no - I don't want you in my life anymore.
COLE: This isn't about us Phoebe.
PHOEBE: Oh yeah?
COLE: This may come as a surprise to you but everything happening in the world does not evolve around you. Call me if you change your mind, I already have two other magazines wanting the exclusive review. Tomorrow at eight, show up if you want the exclusive review or I'll let the others in.
Cole continued walking down the street.
PAIGE: Maybe you should take his offer?
PHOEBE: Why should I? Then I would be letting him back in my life and he would never go away.
PAIGE: Actually I think he has a good point when he says everything doesn't evolve around you.
PHOEBE: What's that supposed to mean Paige?
PAIGE: Well you seem to think everything happening is about you.
PHOEBE: It is about me, Cole was the love of my life. How can I think he doesn't want me back?
PAIGE: Even if he does will you take him back?
PHOEBE: No.
PAIGE: Then why not use this as an opportunity to promote your magazine?
PHOEBE: I guess you're right. But if he tries anything I swear I will vanquish his sorry ass back to where he came from.
The shopkeeper screamed from inside the shop and the sisters ran inside noticing there was a demon standing there with an energy ball in his hand threatening the shopkeeper.
DEMON: You tricked me! You told me he would be there! WHERE IS HE? TELL ME!
PIPER: Well hello, what have we here?
The demon turns around and hurls the energy ball at Piper as she dodges it.
PIPER: You really shouldn't have done that.
Piper blows the demon up and the shopkeeper is standing there terrified.
PIPER: Its okay, are you all right?
SHOPKEEPER: Yeah I'm okay, a thanks.
PHOEBE: You don't seem the bit shaken, seen this before?
SHOPKEEPER: Well, no but.what am I supposed to do? It happened and I lived.
PAIGE: Right.
PIPER:
Yeah but you were just attacked by an energy ball-throwing demon?
SHOPKEEPER: I guess I just don't want to believe it.
PHOEBE: Maybe it's for the best though, not believing it.
They walked out of the store and the shopkeeper picked up the phone and made a call.
-PHONE CONVERSATION-
SHOPKEEPER: We have a new player in town, three witches to be exact.

02:00 AM
Inside an abandoned warehouse, several people were gathered around a dusty wooden table sitting in brand new leather chairs.
There were four chairs on each side of the table and one at the top of it. He was wearing a suit and had a beard along with brown dyed hair.
The bearded man was talking in the phone and then hung up.
KALKAK: Something wrong?
BEARDED MAN: No nothing wrong, please sit.
Everyone sat down; they were all wearing suits and had various general looks.
BEARDED MAN: The artifact should be arriving tomorrow afternoon; I need you all to be ready by then. Nothing must interfere and nobody but us can know about it.
KALKAK: What about the shipment guys?
BEARDED MAN: We'll handle them. Tomorrow at 11:00 PM precise the artifact will go in its place and open a portal for our master.
DEMON LEADER #2: You and your never-ending talk about your master, why have we never seen him?
BEARDED MAN: That's because he is not in this dimension.
DEMON LEADER #2: Right.
KALKAK: What happens when he arrives?
BEARDED MAN: Then our plans begin, we have been preparing this for a very long time now. The artifact will open the portal and Sylus will enter this dimension!
The demon leaders nodded and smiled smelling the victory.
The bearded man took Kalkak aside.
BEARDED MAN: The Charmed Ones have arrived in New York
KALKAK: The Charmed Ones?
BEARDED MAN: Witches, powerful ones.
KALKAK: What do you need me to do?
BEARDED MAN: Do anything in your power to stop them from interfering with the awakening.
KALKAK: I shall.
BEARDED MAN: Good.
The bearded man walked back to the table.
BEARDED MAN: You all know your duties, now get to work. Tomorrow midnight he shall rise.
The next day at 06:00am.
Phoebe's alarm clock started sounding and she rushed up to the bathroom to take a shower. Paige woke up and groaned to the sound of Phoebe's alarm clock.
PAIGE: What's the time? God it's six in the morning?
Paige got out of her bed and brushed her hair and then continued down the stairs to the second bathroom.
Piper woke up in her room and noticed Leo wasn't there.
PIPER: Leo?
Leo orbed in and got caught.
LEO: Hey Piper, good morning.
PIPER: Where have you been?
LEO: I've been out.
PIPER: Out?
LEO: Yeah, one of my charges needed assistance. I was kind of hoping I'd make it back before you woke up.
PIPER: Uhuh okay, so what happened?
LEO: Well she was being chased by some demon, I orbed her out and it's all fine.
Phoebe came running downstairs as Piper and Leo exited their bedroom and Phoebe's cell-phone rang.
PHOEBE: (CELL PHONE)
At three pm, deadline - no not later! If you bring them in after three pm you can consider yourself unemployed!!
Phoebe hung up the cell phone and Piper was looking at her.
PHOEBE: What?
PIPER: Big bossy Phoebe, you like it don't you?
PHOEBE: I don't like bossing people around.
PIPER: Yes you do.
PHOEBE: You're right, I do! Well have to go, got work to do. Tell Paige I said bye.
PIPER: Will do.
PAIGE: Where did Phoebe go?
PIPER: She had to run, you know - work.
PAIGE: So you want to go on a tour in the city?
PIPER: Actually I figured I would stay home and rest.
PAIGE: You not feeling okay?
PIPER: No it's not that, just that I'm tired after all the moving around.
PAIGE: Okay, if you need anything just have Leo pick me up. I'll have a look around to see what's happening here in New York.
PIPER: All right, I'll see you later don't be late I'm cooking tonight!
PAIGE: Do you have to?
PIPER: Hey!
CUT TO:
Paige exited the manor and became followed by a tall and brawny stranger (White male, mid-20s, shaved skull and a rough shape on his head as well as very angry and pitch black eyes), she walked around the corner and entered a buss that conveniently arrived and Paige stepped into it. The stranger started running after the buss that drove away and jumped up on the rooftop.
Paige was alerted by the noise and suddenly the roof was sliced up and the stranger jumped down.
STRANGER: You're dead witch!
PAIGE: That is so yesterday buddy.
STRANGER: AAAAH!
The stranger grabbed Paige by the throat and threw her across the buss so she landed on the backside on a seat.
PAIGE: Hey! That hurt!
STRANGER: DIE!
The buss driver and the passengers panicked and the buss drove to the side as everyone pushed and ran to get out.
PAIGE: Who are you?
STRANGER: WAAAH!
PAIGE: Well WAAAH sorry but I can't stay.
Paige tries to orb out in haste but the stranger rushes up to her and punches her through the window on the back of the buss causing her to land roughly on the ground wounding her badly.
Paige is hurting badly as she's resting to the ground trying to get up and orb before the stranger gets close to her. She watches the stranger exit the buss and begins walking towards her.
STRANGER: My master said for me to stop you!
PAIGE: What.are.you.talking about?
Paige is very weak and can barely keep balance as the stranger stands her up holding her neck.
STRANGER: YOU CANNOT GET THE ARTIFACT!
PAIGE: Artifact?
A car pulls over and a man runs outside.
MAN: Put her down!
The stranger drops Paige on the ground and growls as he approaches the man.
MAN: I'm warning you!
The stranger grabs the man by the head and snaps his neck and growls.
Paige looks terrified but manages to orb out before the stranger gets back to her.
The stranger is standing next to the man's corpse and looks down to the harbor.
