NOTES: Okay, first off, I would like to say that I edited the teaser chapter of the story, so you might want to reread it because I switched a certain demon to be a different demon. Second off, I would like to express sincere thanks to the user "WyattMatthew". That user has reviewed all of my Fan Fictions, and has really given me some advice that has helped me out a lot. So thank you, "WyattMatthew", and let's get on with this Fan Fiction, shall we?
====================================================
INT. WICCAN WAYS STORE - DAY. Piper has a basket in her arms full of candles and other things. Leo is at her side.
LEO
Piper, I really think you are going over edge here.
PIPER
Leo, this is our son's wiccaning. There is no such thing as going over
edge. Now, should I get votives scented, or clear tealites?
She holds up two types of candles as she speaks. Piper think for a minute then puts them both in her basket.
PIPER
It doesn't hurt to have both.
LEO
Piper? When the you are about to become a major stress case, there is such thing as going over edge.
PIPER
Okay, I am only trying to be on the safe side. Besides, this wiccan
shop has a half price discount this week. Why waste the
opportunity?
LEO
Uh, maybe because we have more important things to do. Like, say,
vanquish the demonic threats to the wiccaning?
PIPER
Paige and Phoebe are on it. Besides, would you rather be shopping
or vanquishing demons?
LEO
Well, when it comes to shopping for things we don't need and
vanquishing demons, I would have to say demons.
PIPER
Fine. You can go home and help Paige and Phoebe vanquish
demons. Oh, whoops! You can't orb, I have the keys to my car, and
the walk is forty five minutes back to the manor. Guess you'll have
to stay here, huh?
Paige orbs into the shop standing next to Piper. Piper gives out a little yelp of surprise and freezes the shop.
PIPER
Paige, what are you doing? Someone could have saw you orb!
PAIGE
We have bigger problems. Demonic problems.
LEO
What?
PAIGE
Hawkers. Come on, I'll explain on the way there.
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. A Hawker with long sharp talons and wings throws out his talons and tries to scratch Phoebe.
Phoebe dodges by levitating in the air and avoiding the swipe. She throws out her foot and kicks the demon, knocking him backwards. Phoebe falls to the attic floor upon impact. Piper, Paige, and Leo orb in.
PIPER
What the hell is going on here?
PHOEBE
Piper, watch out!
Piper turns just as the Hawker slashes her across the chest with it's sharp talons, wounding her. Piper flies across the room as the talons hit her and crashes into the wall, falling unconscious.
LEO
Piper!
Leo rushes to her side. Phoebe turns and grabs an athame that sits on a table and she throws it at the Hawker. The Hawker uses it's wings and pumps itself into the air, dodging the athame.
The Hawker flaps it's wings and a large gust of winds blows out from them, knocking Paige and Phoebe backward. The Hawker advances, ready to slash the two sisters.
PHOEBE
Paige, his talons. Orb them!
PAIGE
Talons!
The Hawker screeches in pain as his talons are orbed off of him. Paige redirects them back at the Hawker and the talons embed themselves in his chest, vanquishing him.
PHOEBE
Hmm, talk about demon's sharp orbs.
Leo helps Piper off her feet. He winces at the sight of her bloodied chest. Leo leads Piper out of the attic.
LEO
Come on, we gotta get you bandaged.
Paige checks something off on a list she is holding.
PAIGE
Okay, so the Hawker was the last demon on the list. Thy wiccaning
shall hence forth be demonic free. And the best part? I won't have
to land on my butt for at least the wiccaning.
PHOEBE
So then we've done everything. Demonic threats gone, outfits have
been bought, candles and matches are ready-
PAIGE
Candles!
Five candles orb into the attic placed into a circle. Paige begins to light the candles with a match.
INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVE - NIGHT. Hylan is floating in the air as Barbas is on the ground with his hands outstretched. Dark beams are transfering from Barbas into Hylan.
The transfer ends and Hylan softly lands onto the ground. He breathes heavily as he feels the new power inside of him.
BARBAS
Do you feel it?
HYLAN
I don't know if I can control powers this strong.
BARBAS
Soon be able to. I wouldn't have come to you if I had thought that
you weren't able to control my powers.
HYLAN
Hold it! Why wouldn't you go after the spirits of the matriarchs if
your powers are this strong?
BARBAS
The Charmed Ones have encountered me many times, and they are
always ready for me because they know of my powers. If you go,
they won't suspect you.
HYLAN
And if I fail?
BARBAS
The powers inside of you will return to me and you will be
vanquished. Now, suck their energy into this amulet.
He holds up a red jewel hanging from a golden string. He hands it to Hylan who puts it on.
BARBAS
Bring the amulet back here, and then we shall release the Shadow.
And if you try to turn against me with my own powers, I will kill you.
Do you understand?
Hylan nods and flames out of the cave. Barbas turns back to the black bottle that he is holding and smiles.
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Grams cradles Baby Chris in her arms.
GRAMS He's so beautiful. Baby Christopher Halliwell.
PIPER
Hmm, you're certainly singing a different tune, Grams.
GRAMS
Oh, pish posh, Piper. I can accept a male or two into the family.
(beat)
This is the last one right?
PIPER
Grams!
GRAMS
Oh, you know I'm joking. Now, are we going to get this wiccaning
started? The matriarchs were getting really itchy up there.
PHOEBE (to Chris)
You ready?
Baby Chris gurgles and breaks out into a smile. Phoebe smiles and pats his head a bit.
PHOEBE
Baby Chris is ready.
GRAMS (chanting)
I call forth from space and time,
The matriarchs from the Halliwell line,
Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends,
Our family's spirit without end ...
An invisible figure of Hylan appears in the attic. He watches as Grams continues with the spell.
GRAMS (cont'd)
... to gather now in this sacred space,
and help us bring this child to grace.
Beams of light flow into the attic and the matriarchs in their spiritual forms materialize into the attic. Hylan chooses this moment to make himself visible.
HYLAN
Aw ... how come I wasn't invited to the wiccaning?
Everyone in the attic turns around and sees Hylan standing there with the red amulet around his neck.
GRAMS
You said you got rid of all the demons!
PIPER
We did! At least the ones that have the powers to access spirits.
HYLAN
Then I guess you didn't expect this, did you?
Grams throws out her arm sending Hylan crashing into the wall. Piper raises her arms and gets ready to blow Hylan up but he counters by waving his hand.
Piper's fear comes to life as she sees Paige and Phoebe dead on the ground.
PIPER
No! Paige? Phoebe?
Tears start streaming down her eyes as she watches her two dead sisters disappear.
Back in reality, Paige and Phoebe watch Piper crying and staring at something that they can't see.
PAIGE
Piper? Piper, snap out of it!
PHOEBE
What's he doing?
GRAMS
He's turning her fears against her. We have to-
Grams is interrupted in the middle of her sentence as she is sucked into the amulet that Hylan holds. Paige and Phoebe look around and see that all the other matriarchs are gone as well.
They turn to Hylan who smiles as he holds a now glowing red amulet in his hand.
HYLAN
Thanks for this.
He disappears along with the spirits of all the matriarchs and Grams.
