Author's notes: Hi everyone

Author's notes: Hi everyone!! I think I've been thinking high of the story but it seems it isn't that good because I am not getting reviews. Nevertheless, Thanks for whoever reviewed. By the way I didn't find a name for THE PACER so I named him Jericho, whatever.

Reply: There was an anonymous review that I couldn't reply to, and the answer for the question will be answered in this chapter sorry for the confusion.

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed.

P.S: Words in italics are either thoughts, telepathy, mumbling…etc

(Scene: The manor: Attic, Phoebe is searching for something in the Book of Shadows, she landed on a Paige and started reading)

Phoebe reading unheard: Pacers are people who can travel through time using speed, there is no past nor future nor present selves for them as they exist as only one person beyond time and Space…There is a pacer for each kind of people, for instance there is the witch pacer, the warlock pacer, the angel pacer and the demon pacer who is known as THE PACER. It is very hard if not impossible to destroy a pacer.

Phoebe: I already know all of that!! (She shuts the book and yells) Paige, Piper!! (Paige and Piper orb in together, Paige sits on the couch and Piper stands beside Phoebe)

Phoebe: Did you find anything?!

Paige: Well we searched in the books at Magic school and found some information about the Pacer!!

Phoebe: I hope they're good because I just found out it is very hard to destroy a pacer!!

Paige: Oh!! It's no much difference here!!

Piper: We found out that THE PACER whose name is Jericho is almost unstoppable and if someone vanquished him, he wouldn't stay dead for long as he uses his telepathic powers to feed of people's powers and hopes, the more hopeless they get the stronger he gets!!

Phoebe: Kinda like what happened with Jo I think!!

Paige: Ya!! I think he used the death of her sister to his advantage as he succeeded into convincing her that she was the reason behind her sister's death!!

Piper (Sarcastically): Maybe she is!!

Phoebe (warning): Piper!!

Paige: I don't know about you guys but I think we were a little harsh on her!!

Piper: What?!

Phoebe: I'm starting to think the same!!

Piper: You guys!!

Phoebe: She needed support Piper!! She obviously wasn't over her sister's death!!

Piper: But………………..

Paige (interrupting): Remember how it was like after Prue died. (Piper nodded)

Piper: Well I don't know but Leo did the same!! And obviously she told him who she was!!

Phoebe (sarcastically): Like that helped the cause!!

Paige: Well I'm pretty sure she is mad at me. I'm gonna turn out to be a horrible mother obviously!!

Piper: Chris didn't get angry when we rejected him and kicked him out.

Phoebe: We didn't know that he was your son!!

Paige: Ya!! Imagine yourself kicking him out after knowing he's your son!!

Piper: Right!! What were we thinking? What was I thinking questioning my niece!!

Paige: It wasn't your fault Piper!!

Piper: Excuse me but I think I made myself clear when I told you last time and the time before and the time before that I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself!!

Paige: Sorry!!

Phoebe: Was I that annoying when I used to tell everyone how they felt?

Paige: Yes!!

Phoebe: For God's sake woman!!

Piper: Okay!! What are we going to do about Jericho because I think Jo took my advice and stormed back to the future.

(Scene: Beach, The sun is shining through the clouds, the birds are flying all over the sky, the waves are continuously hitting the sand. Jo is sitting on the sand tears running down her face. Her eyes are red obviously she had been crying for along time.)

The words of a song were stuck in her head:

I miss you…. Miss you so bad.

I don't forget you… oh it is so sad

I hope you can hear me… I remember it clearly

The day…. You slipped away…..

What's the day… I found it won't be the same….

Jo: Couldn't I have saved her!! I mean because of me she is dead! God I miss her so much!! I miss everything even the arguments we used to have!! It was completely unfair for her to die. I should've been the one who is dead not her… she has always been the stronger one!! She would've known what to be done. I mean for God's sake I'm in the past and was rejected by someone who I never imagined would. Even Leo he turned his back on me, he didn't believe me… maybe he's right!! They're all right!! I'm really a disgrace for the Halliwell's name… I'm gonna fail in this mission like I've failed in everything else!! I'm just gonna lose everyone again!!

(Behind her appeared Jericho, who she obviously didn't notice him. He extended his hands forward and it glowed red and red light rays started emitting from her body to his hands. She took notice of that and turned around to see him but she couldn't move nor protect herself as he was absorbing her power, her energy and above all her desperation )

Narrated from Jo's POV:

I could feel my powers draining but I was paralyzed, I couldn't move a muscle. I felt him growing stronger and I was getting weaker. I couldn't do anything. I knew this was going to be my end. Still I couldn't take my mind off my sister's death. Obviously he was feeding off that too. He was feeding off all my powers, my energy. I would never have them back. The power draining now started to cause some pain. A pain I knew I wouldn't ever be over. The pain was increasing every second that passed. The pain is becoming unbearable… I couldn't take it any more. I wanted to end this myself but I couldn't even move. The pain was only increasing. The silence and darkness slowly started engulfing the place. I knew what was happening, I knew I was painfully dieing. I started breathing harder than ever but there seemed to be no air entering my lungs. Even breathing started to hurt. I couldn't take it any more, I couldn't resist anymore. I finally started giving up allowing the darkness to engulf me too. I slowly closed my eyes knowing that it would be over soon. Soon I would be with my sister. Soon I would be with the beloved family that I once had. Soon I was going to meet the love of my life again. Soon I was going to meet my mother, my father, my grandmother. Soon it will all be over. I smiled at the thought of my family and meeting them again, God I missed them so much. I also got to die at my favorite place; the beach. I couldn't believe myself as I was smiling at death or the angel of death to exact. He looked as horrible as ever. He hadn't got a single expression on his pale face. He –to my surprise- spook. And I wished he never did!!

"It isn't your time yet!!" he said coldly without a single expression.

He then disappeared and I felt my surrounding collapse but I felt lights surrounding me before I finally fainted.

End of Jo's narrative.

(Scene: Manor, Piper was panicking, as Phoebe was beside Paige easing her pain)

Piper: What could possibly be wrong? Why is Paige in much pain? Why isn't the damn spell working?

Paige (holding her head in pain): My head!! I feel that it is about to explode!! What the heck is wrong?

Phoebe: I don't know how but I think Paige's pain is starting to penetrate because I could actually feel my head on fire!!

Phoebe: Piper! Why isn't it working?

Piper: I don't know but take my hand, you too Paige!! (Phoebe and Paige take Piper's hand)

Piper (holding her sisters' hands tightly): Power of witches rise,
course unseen across the skies
come to us to call you near,
come to us and settle here.

(In a swirl of light Jo appears unconscious on the floor, Paige's pain now stops)

Phoebe: Oh my God!! (She breaks her hand free from Piper's tight grip and runs over to Jo and checks her pulse)

Phoebe: She's barely breathing. Paige heal her! (Paige moves closer to Jo and searches for a wound)

Paige: She's not injured. I don't know what to heal.

Piper: if she isn't injured then what is (Jericho appears out of nowhere angrily)… wrong?

Jericho: I should've known that you were the ones who interrupted me as usual.

Phoebe: What do you want?

Jericho: To finish what I started. (Pointing at Jo with his head)

Paige: Over my dead body!!

Jericho (sarcastically): I would stick you to that!! Well you have better said your goodbyes because bye bye. (He raises his hand into a fist and tightens it. Paige holds her neck as if being strangled and falls to her knees)

Piper (angrily): Hey!! (She flicks her wrist in an attempt of blowing him up; he only falls to the ground because he hadn't expected that. Paige stands up. She and her sisters now hold each others hands)

Piper: Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda...

Phoebe: Astrid, Helen, Laura and Grace...

Jericho: No (Fire appears near Jericho's feet.)

Paige: Halliwell witches stand strong beside us.

Phoebe: Vanquish this evil...

Piper, Phoebe, Paige: From time and space.

(A large explosion takes place knocking everyone off there feet. Dust and smoke fill the room)

Piper: Oh God!! (She stands up and rubs her eyes from the dust) Paige!! (She runs to her knocked out pregnant sister. Phoebe then rushes to her side too)

Phoebe: Is she okay? (Paige started coming around)

Paige: What… what happened?

Piper (sarcastically): You ask this question with your telepathic powers?! (Paige sits up)

Paige: Did we vanquish him?

Phoebe: I think so!!

Piper: Let's hope it sticks. (The three of them stands up and look at still unconscious Jo)

Piper: Because we have other things to worry about!! (The three sisters smile)

(Scene: Underworld, dark cave. Dust particles start collecting and swirling until they reform into a very angry Jericho)

Jericho: They didn't think it was that easy!! (He smiles and disappears)
