INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Paige is flipping through the Book of Shadows frantically. Phoebe is beside her. Piper paces nervously.
PIPER
H-how did he even do that? H-he just appeared, a-and took all their
spirits! No demon has ever been able to done that before!
PHOEBE
Okay, Piper, you need to relax.
PIPER
Relax? Phoebe, a demon just sucked generations of Halliwell spirits
into a damn amulet, and you want me to relax?
PAIGE
Do you want me to orb some gauze into her mouth?
PHOEBE
Ooh, not helping!
PAIGE
Right.
She turns her attention back to the Book of Shadow as she flips through the pages.
PAIGE
Hold it!
PHOEBE
Did you find the demon?
PAIGE
Uh, no, but I did find that amulet. It's called the Serax Amulet: an
amulet that has the power to suck spiritual and ghostly forms.
PHOEBE
Okay, that's great, but we need to find that demon, otherwise we
can't find him or vanquish him.
PIPER
Wait a minute ... maybe we don't need the Book to find him.
PAIGE
What are you talking about?
PIPER
Well, I mean, think about it. What demon do you know has the
power to turn our innermost fears against us?
PAIGE (realizing)
Barbas.
PIPER
Exactly ... so maybe those powers didn't belong to that demon.
Maybe he borrowed powers from Barbas.
INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVE. Barbas is chanting and as he does, glows of golden light are being sucked from the amulet and into the black bottle. Hylan watches.
BARBAS
Stijging, krachtige geest!
Kom vooruit in deze wereld zodat,
kunnen wij naar uw macht streven!
The three sisters orb in. Piper sees the transfer of power coming out of the amulet.
PIPER
Hey!
She waves her hands, intending to interrupt the transfer of power but a black wisp of light comes out of the two red evil eyes from the black bottle and blocks Piper's power.
Hylan throws out his hand and sends a telekinetic wave that knocks Piper across the cave.
PHOEBE
Piper!
She rushes over to help Piper but Hylan waves his hand and sends Phoebe flying in the opposite direction. She lands on the ground. Hylan turns to Paige and waves his hand, but Paige orbs out before she is hit.
Paige reorbs in behind Hylan. She taps Hylan on the shoulder and he turns. Paige punches him in the face and he falls to the ground, knocking him unconscious.
PAIGE
I have always wanted to do that.
Piper and Phoebe groan in pain as they sit up. Paige rushes over to each of her sisters to help them up.
PIPER
Ooh, okay, bigger problems.
She points over to Barbas and a black shadow that is beside him. The sisters back away.
PHOEBE
Uh, freeze them.
Piper waves her hands and freezes time, but only Barbas freezes. The black shadow continues to advance on them.
PAIGE
Why didn't it work?
THE SHADOW (demonic voice)
I'm going to kill you ... witches.
He laughs and the black shadow begins to circle around them. Piper, Paige, and Phoebe huddle together.
PHOEBE
Okay, Paige, orb us out!
Paige grabs Piper and Phoebe's hands and they orb and rise upwards. The Shadow shoots a black dart of magic up at the rising orbs, and the dart hits a figure in the blur of orbs.
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT. The three sisters orb in.
PAIGE
Everyone still alive?
PHOEBE
Just barely.
PAIGE
Piper?
Paige and Phoebe turn and look around the attic, searching for Piper. They stop as they see something.
PHOEBE
Oh, my god.
PAIGE (trails off)
Piper ...
Paige and Phoebe stare at Piper who is lying on the floor, motionless. Her eyes wide open, as if she's dead ... or is she? ...
FADE OUT
