(Manor, morning; Piper is pacing around the attic and Leo is sitting on a chair.)
Leo: Piper please stop pacing!! (She stops)
Piper: I'm sorry; they have been gone for 9 hours, what if something happened to them?
Leo: I'm sure they are okay, both of them have powers and they are 2/3 of the charmed ones!!
Piper: Jo!!
Leo: What?
Piper: What if Jo did something to them?
Leo: for the 100th time, Jo isn't evil!
Piper: But Wyatt said… (Leo stands up)
Leo: Piper honey!! You didn't –repeat didn't- see Wyatt, you're just imagining it because you don't want what Jo said to be true!
Piper: How could you believe that?
Leo: Because Chris came before Jo, he wanted to stop Wyatt from becoming evil and so does Jo. We thought we did it when I killed Gideon but obviously Gideon wasn't the one that turned Wyatt!! I'm not saying you have to like that fact but you learn to deal with it!!
Piper: Oh.
Leo: I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap, I just…
Piper: No you're right but I'm sure I saw Wyatt, I hugged him Leo. This can't be imagination!!
(Phoebe and Paige orb in. Paige sits on the couch)
Piper (yell): Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you?
Phoebe: Don't yell at me!! She's the one that dragged me and got us almost killed!!
Paige: Not my fault I didn't find what I was looking for!!
Phoebe: Paige you orbed us to the underworld, I'm sure we vanquished more than 40 demons!!
Paige: Will you just drop it?!
Voice in Phoebe's head: Drop it!! You almost died, your nephew almost died!
Phoebe (yelling angrily): No I won't, you almost got us killed. For God's sake if you don't care about your life, think of the child growing in you!
Paige: Phoebe chill out, will you?
Phoebe: You just don't get it, do you?
Paige: Get what?
Voice in Phoebe's head: Hmmm…9 hours of fighting demons, that must've been deadly!!
Phoebe: Paige we've been battling demons for 9 hours, and God knows what where you looking for. We had deadly wounds; it's good that I was able to heal you. I saw death with my own eyes and that entire for what? Because you were 'looking for something'.
Paige: We face death daily, what is this really about? (She stands up)
Voice in Phoebe's head: You never choose to!
Phoebe: We face death daily but we don't choose facing it. It's something else when we go to it ourselves.
Piper: You know Paige she's right, I wasn't with you in the underworld but I know what she's talking about. Paige you've been hearing voices lately, and recently you've been answering to these voices.
Phoebe: Yeah, just like your break down after the demon attacked and the panicking before he did.
Piper: Even Henry noticed that and he said that your dreams are becoming more disturbing and he said that since last week, your powers started getting out of control in your sleep and when you're awake.
Phoebe: We have been delaying talking about this not to upset you, but I think your life and your baby's are more important than you getting upset.
Piper: Paige we didn't want to do this but we think it would be safer if you stayed in magic school until you give birth.
Paige (angrily): I thought we agreed that I won't be staying in magic school.
Phoebe: We did but you leave us no choice!
Piper: Paige I think you need to rest your mind because anything could happen in split second. (Paige gasps and starts to shake)
Leo: Paige are you okay?
(She closes her eyes in pain and faints. Leo runs & catches her before she falls to the ground.)
Phoebe: Is she okay? (She and Piper go to her side)
Leo: I dunno she's shaking & sweating really hard, she's getting paler and her breath isn't steady.
Piper (getting on something): Leo check her pulse! (Leo checks)
Leo: There is hardly any!
Piper: You know what symptoms are those caused by!!
Leo: Darklighter's poison!!
Phoebe: But she's not hurt! (Lifting Paige with Leo over to the couch)
Piper: Were you attacked by any darklighters down there?
Phoebe: Yeah a couple but I healed her wounds immediately!
Leo: Maybe one wasn't completely healed!
Piper: But wouldn't the wound be visible!
Leo: Well that what confuses me! (They go to the book & an elder orb in unnoticed by them)
Piper: Maybe it's by her son's powers!!
Phoebe: Maybe, so what do we do? (Leo notices the elder holding Paige's hand & preparing to orb out)
Leo: Hey! What are you doing? (That makes Phoebe & Piper notice too. They go nearer)
Elder (sights): I was hoping not to get in this discussion!! (He drops Paige's hand)
Piper: He asked you a question!! What were you doing?
Elder: I was taking your sister!
Phoebe: Why?
Elder: Well!! Your sister's pregnancy need a little bit more attention & special care!!
Piper (angrily): Excuse me?
Phoebe: Don't you think we can take care of our sister?!
Elder: Well by the way she looks now, I don't think you can!!
Piper: What? You come here & try kidnapping our sister and tell us we can't take care of her? The hell we can!! The state she's in now, it's because of her son's powers!!
Elder: I wasn't trying to kidnap her!! I was taking her to where she can get the security she needs for the last couple of months of her pregnancy! And the state she's in wasn't caused by her son's powers; it was caused by overstress!!
Phoebe: You're not taking her!!
Elder: I'm afraid that it's not optional. The decision has already been made!
Piper: By whom? You?
Elder: Not only me but all the other elders agreed on the same thing, Paige will be kept in heavens until she gives birth and then only she'll be returned to earth safely , and then you can continue with your charmed duties!
Leo: That's not going to happen! And what did you mean by only she'll be returned to earth?! Are you planning on taking her child too?!
Elder: I shouldn't have said that just yet!! I'm afraid that isn't to be discussed with me; I'm only here to take Paige!!
Piper: Which you're not doing by the way!! (A guy -no more than 17 years old- orbs in, wearing a dark blue jeans and T-shirt just like the elder's rope but it's a t-shirt)
Guy: I'm afraid this is for the greater good!!
Phoebe: And who might you be?
Guy: I'm an elder!! I'm surprised you didn't recognize me considering I drew you before!!
Piper: Kevin?! (He nods) Look at you all grown up!!
Phoebe: It would've been nice to see but considering the circumstances of your arrival, I don't think so!
Leo: Kevin will you please tell this Person over here, that he's not taking Paige!!
Kevin: I'm afraid I can't!
Piper: What?
Kevin: The decision has already been made, you don't have to worry she'll be returned after she gives birth!
Leo: Yeah without her child!
Kevin: Well we have our reasons!! And these are the rules that you have to respect and follow
Phoebe: Well your reasons & rules don't work for us!! (Odin orbs in frustrated)
Odin: Well if you have followed the rules from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this position!!
Piper: What?
Odin: If you & Leo followed the rules and weren't together; you wouldn't have had that child that will grow up and destroy the world!
Phoebe: What does that have to do with Paige & her son?!
Kevin: Paige's son will grow in the heavens, trained to The Prophesized Battle. The battle between 2 half whitelighters/half witches, between too people close but yet too far, between the leader of the forces of good & the leader of the forces of evil. The battle will decide the fate of the world & destiny and we want to make sure the fate turns out good!
Leo: First of all, it's our son and his cousin you're talking about. Secondly, we're doing the best we can to raise our son good.
Elder: Well obviously you're not doing a great job because you've failed twice!
Piper: We haven't failed yet, and you're speaking like you never failed before!!
Odin: We've failed too, once by allowing you and Leo to be together and once by allowing your child to be born!!
Elder: Gideon was right; we made a mistake in allowing Wyatt to be born. And allowing such a concentration of power to be brought into this world in one being. (Leo now burning with anger goes near the elder and punches him in the face. The elder falls on the ground)
Odin: How dare you?
Leo (angrily): How dare I? The person he's talking about murdered my son and almost got to my other son too!! (The elder stands up)
Elder: Too bad he didn't, he would've saved us much trouble!! (Leo sees the elder morph into Gideon)Leo you have to understand it's all for the greater good I swear!! (Leo picks up the elder)
Leo: How is killing a child ever for the greater good, huh? Who the hell are you to decide that, huh? (He throws Gideon across the room)
Gideon: Leo, listen to me. You know what happens. You know what Chris & Jo came here to stop. (Leo throws Gideon to the floor.) Let me finish what I started. Let me save the future, the only way it can be saved. (Leo keeps punching Gideon until he is T.K across the room by Odin. Piper goes and helps him up. Leo looks up to see and elder beaten up and bleeding with Kevin by his side)
Leo (mutters under his breath): What the hell?
Odin: This is completely unacceptable and won't go unpunished!
(Jo orbs in. She looks around the room to see 2 elders one beaten up, another guy and Leo by Piper's side and Phoebe standing beside them, and Paige laying on the couch unconscious)
Jo: What's going on? I didn't interrupt anything, did I?
Phoebe: You're here good. Do you mind telling them that you're here to save Wyatt & the future and that they don't need to take matters in their own hands?
Jo: Don't they already know that?
Piper: Obviously not! Because they're here to take Paige until she gives birth and then they'll take her baby and raise him up and train him for 'The Prophesized Battle'.
Jo: They're going to do what? Are you out of your mind?
Kevin: Excuse me?
Jo: You can't change anything about the future I came from, everything has to be exactly the same or else it might change to the worse and we wouldn't know it!!
Kevin: But we will, I have the power to foresee what is yet to come!
Jo: Well did you see the result of the battle?
Kevin: I'm afraid this is beyond our powers and only when the battle ends we'll know!
Jo: You can't do anything to change the future and you aren't even sure of the results of the battle!! And to wait until the battle to stop Wyatt is just ridiculous because the world would already be destroyed!
Elder: You're right; we should just do it now! (Leo was going to charge at him again but Piper and Phoebe caught him)
Jo: I could've done that, if I wasn't sure I could save the future!
Kevin: We both know why you haven't even thought of doing that 'Jo'!
Jo: Oh so you know?!
Kevin: Yes!
Odin: Know what?
Jo: Well since you already know that, you probably also know what is going to happen if you tried doing what you want!!
Kevin: Yeah and it's impossible to be done!!
Jo: Well than call me the impossible girl because I'm powerful enough to do it!
Kevin: Okay I see where this is going and it's not good because you'll tilt the balance!!
Jo: No believe me it's very good the balance is already tilted!! So you'd better leave now!
Odin: I'm afraid weren't doing that!
Jo: Afraid is what you're gonna be if you don't go back up there!!
Elder: Yeah right! (He hits Jo with a lightning bolt to her shoulder, she falls on the ground)
Odin: Who's afraid now? (They start advancing on Paige. Phoebe helps Jo up)
Jo: Son of a b…..! (Both elders stop and look at Jo)
Jo: Powers of witches rise,
Come to me across the skies.
Return my magic, give me back
The powers I had before I came back.
(A blue light washes over Jo)
Kevin: Oh God no!
Odin: I'm sick and tired of this! (He shoots a lightning bolt towards Jo but she deflects it back at him in orbs, he gets hit in the shoulder)
Elder: You people have no respect to others with higher powers!!
Jo: I think you got that backwards! ( 5 elders orb in) Oh more of you, what a delightful day?
(The elders start shooting lightning bolts at Jo, while Odin tries approaching Paige but Piper uses her powers on him and sends him flying to the wall. More elders and whitelighters start orbing in and shooting lightning bolts at Jo & the charmed ones. Jo deflects every single lightning bolt, Piper starts knocking out the others with her powers, while Phoebe copies their powers and forms lightning bolts and throw them back. Everyone was too busy to notice a raven haired woman appearing and disappearing with Paige.)
Odin: We got her!! Let's go! (All elders and whitelighters orb out except Kevin who hasn't participated in the fight)
Piper (angrily): You bring her back right now!
Kevin: I'm afraid that this is out of my hands!! (He smirks at Jo & orbs out)
T.B.C
