Fourteen - Family Values.
SCENE BREAK - Piper's restaurant 'P4')
(Astrid, Jamie, Warren and Cole were all having a meal together at Piper's restaurant)
Astrid: I feel a little intimidated, the brother, the dad and the boyfriend around the same table
Warren: Yeah and nobody's throwing energy balls.
Cole: Be careful what you say. You don't want the cleaners on your hands trust me.
Jamie: Yeah they're nasty.
(Melinda who is working at the restaurant comes over to take their order)
Cole: Melinda, didn't think your mom would let you work this late.
Melinda: Yeah well, she didn't really have much off a choice, we're understaffed
Warren: Just get some dwarfs to help out.
Jamie: Yeah cos that won't look suspicious.
Warren: I'm not used to this being normal thing yet.
Cole: You'll get used to it I did.
Astrid: Actually dad you didn't if I recall you telling us. (The whole room freezes and Piper walks out)
Piper: I swear I just saw a demon! In my restaurant!
Cole: I can't sense any Piper, your probably just being paran- (He didn't get to finish his sentence before an energy ball comes flying across the room. Cole doges out of the way as well as, Warren, Jamie, Astrid and Melinda.)
(Melinda goes to explode the demon, but Cole pushes her and knocks her into a table.)
Piper: COLE!
Cole: You can't kill that demon, its my mother! (Jamie goes to help Melinda up and Cole's 'Mother' looks at them and shimmers away with an evil grin.)
Astrid: Then why did she just try to kill us!
*Roll title sequence*
SCENE BREAK - THE HALLIWELL MANNER - LIVING AREA.
(Everyone is at the Halliwell Manner, and Melinda is getting healed by Chris. Leo walks in and goes to punch Cole in the face at the revelation that he hit his daughter,)
Piper: LEO, NOT INFRONT OF THE KIDS!
Chris: Mom were not kids and I would like to see Cole get a punch after everything he's done to aunt Phoebe.
Astrid: Shut up before I throw an energy ball at your face,
Chris: I'd like to see you try.
Piper: That's enough nobody is using they're powers or fists against anyone. Leo
Leo: If you touch my daughter again, I'll see to it that your vanquished and never come back.
Melinda: I'm fine dad.
Cole: I'm sorry, Melinda, but she's my mother I had to protect her from being vanquished by you.
Warren: Maybe you should tell her not to attack people then
Cole: I haven't seen her in years.
Piper: Well obviously not because she hasn't gone up to any of us before. Maybe she went up against grams.
Cole: I don't know she put me in the demon academy when I was what 5?
Melinda: What's the demon academy?
Leo: It's where you go to become demons, and I thought that was only for mortals?
Cole: I was half human, she wanted to suppress my humanity and it worked.
Piper: We should summon grams, and get her to-
Cole: Or I find my mother and I kill her simple as.
Astrid: You don't wanna do that! You might not have enough power to take her out.
Cole: (Rolls his eyes) Please...
Piper: (Hits him playfully) You shouldn't be having thoughts about killing your own mother! Not in front of your own children...
Cole: They know what I'm like, and she's a demon she's pure evil and she killed my father which was Coop's father. She said if my dad was alive then it could spark the humanity in me.
Leo: This could get nasty quickly,
Chris: Do you want me to get, Phoebe, Prue and Paige?
Cole: She doesn't need a power of four vanquish I can take her out with an energy ball!
Astrid: Oh yeah cos that worked out before.
Piper: Lets just go up to the book of shadows okay?
(Cole, reluctantly agreed and was flicking through the book of shadows with Piper and Astrid. Whilst Melinda, Warren and Leo checked Magic school for answers and Chris went to the elders)
Piper: Why do they call her 'The Vulture?'
Cole: That's what she is, Metaphorically a vulture is a carrion feeder which means feeder of the dead. Demons gave her this nickname she used to steel witches powers to stay young.
Astrid: She might be after all of us then, me, Warren all of your family, Prue's, Paige and Phoebe's
Piper: Yeah we better give them the heads up
Cole: Then Coop will know! He had a suspicion that my mom killed our dad.
Piper: We'll have to deal with it. I'm not risking everyone's life just for conflict Cole.
Cole: I hate domestic family so much.
Piper: More like demonic family.
(Chris then orbs in)
Chris: I talked with the elders and two witches were killed at your restaurant last night
Astrid: That's her then it has to be
Cole: Or the warlock you were chasing with Jamie this morning, he could be working for my mom.
(Phoebe then walks in)
Phoebe: I have a feeling something is wrong, please don't rain on my parade.
Piper: Cole's demonic mother is trying to kill us.
Phoebe: Your kidding! I always wanted to meet her.
Cole: Yeah well now's not the time to sit and eat dinner together Phoebe, she attacked me, Astrid, Warren and Jamie last night at Piper's restaurant.
Phoebe: Is Warren okay?
(Astrid rolled her eyes)
Cole: He's fine. We should go down to where those witches were killed it might lure her out.
Phoebe: What witches?
Chris: His mom goes after young witches so she can stay young.
Phoebe: Oh well I'll go because I can get a premonition.
Cole: No, it might put you in more danger she hasn't seen you yet which means your not a target, Warren can come with me and Piper. He gets premonitions.
Astrid: I'll go and get him. (Astrid shimmers out)
Piper: Chris can you warn, Prue and Paige please and their family, tell them to come over here whilst me and Cole are out, Phoebe I want you too summon Grams and Mom with Prue and Paige. They might know something.
(Chris orbs out and Phoebe goes over to the book)
Phoebe: Wow she's a piece of work.
Cole: Tell me about it.
(Warren projects in along with Astrid who shimmers)
Warren: Nothing at magic school
Piper: We need you to come with us to a crime scene so we can try and get some premonitions for when Cole's mom will attack next, Phoebe can't come with us it'll put her in danger.
Warren: Yeah sure, why who died
Piper: A couple of witches.
SCENE BREAK - P4 RESTURANT CRIME SCENE.
Andy: There was no sign of a break in which probably means it was a demon.
Cole: Yeah we figured that one out. My mother.
Piper: Andy this is Cole, Phoebe's ex demonic husband. Warren here is Phoebe and Cole's son.
Cole: I'm a good demon though
Andy: Yeah I remember you two having that fight the other week.
Henry: (Walks over) There were no witnesses, they probably wouldn't have gotten out alive by the looks off it their bodies are completely drained.
Warren: This place is a mess.
Andy: Police think it was a break in and the chicks got in the way.
Piper: Well we need to go in and see if Warren can get a premonition. I can freeze the room (Piper freezes the room and all the police freeze except for, Henry, Andy, Piper, Warren and Cole. Warren heads over to one of the bodies carefully he places his fingertips on her forehead but he gets nothing.)
Cole: Anything?
Warren: Nothing. I'll try the other one, it could be because they're already dead.
(He goes over to the other body and a weird sensation hits him of fear and pain but no premonition)
Piper: Nothing?
Warren: No but, I could feel her pain and fear right when she died here. Like I was her.
(Cole and Piper looked at each other sadly for a second) Piper: Well we tried we best get back to the others.
SCENE BREAK HALLIWELL MANNER THE ATTIC.
Grams: You interrupted me,
Patty: No she didn't...
Paige: Yeah sorry were kind of in a sticky situation.
Grams: Look at you all together! (She goes over and then hugs Prue and Paige, then Phoebe. Astrid stands there awkwardly, so does Chris) Chris you've grown since the last I saw you. And, your Astrid? A grandchild?
Phoebe: No she's not, she's Cole's daughter-
Patty: Cole as in the ex source of all evil one! Why haven't you vanquished him what about Coop? That means she's a demon! Vanquish her!
Prue: Okay mom calm down! Astrid is a demon but she's a good demon, she's half a witch. Christy's daughter-
Grams: That makes her an evil witch go on vanquish her!
Astrid: Maybe I am evil, because I really wanna throw a energy ball at you but your already dead. so there is no need to, I was a child of the triad their experiment but dad, nurtured me to be good.
Phoebe: Yeah and Coop's Cole's half brother, I still love him, I have a son with Cole though I can't just abandon him.
(Piper, Cole and Warren walk in)
Piper: Grams, Mom...
Grams: Look at you all together! It's wonderful!
Patty: That's Cole... and Warren.
Phoebe: Yeah we really need your help all off our kids are in danger, if she likes to feed of young witches.
Patty: It was such along time ago...Well wouldn't Cole know what to do.
Grams: Come on Patty, he's a demon.
Cole: I have demonic powers! And besides I wouldn't know how to defeat her, I hardly even know her anyway.
Patty: When I was about, 20 this was early on your mother attacked me late at night in a restaurant, she stabbed me with this knife that sucked all my powers and then kicked her into a table before she could do any more damage.
Chris: That's odd because those witches were attacked, at mom's restaurant.
Grams: We're getting to that. After Patty was attacked at the restaurant we took extra precautions. We discovered after she takes the witches powers she simulates blood, and uses it as a life force. She then eats all the food she can get, to get the blood to work straight away so its more effective she can blend in.
Paige: Sounds more like a vampire than a demon.
Prue: Yeah, Piper did you check with Andy and Henry about the food?
Piper: No I didn't think too, we just went to get premonitions but Warren couldn't get any. I mean demons that steal food, really.
Phoebe: Do you want me to call Andy or Henry? I could orb to them...
Prue: That might be a good idea. So how did you vanquish her?
Patty: We couldn't vanquish her. But she started to go after demons so she basically enilate herself, but you might be able to do it with the power of four.
Cole: I don't think they vanquished her, demons. Just imprisoned her. If the Halliwell line wasn't powerful enough how could a single demon be able too?
Paige: Unless you did it Cole, you have her powers.
Cole: No I told Piper, I was in the demon academy when I was around five until around 25, during that time frame that's when it happened. Do you think I would have had enough courage to go up against my own mother, and the demons in the academy whilst I was there? That was one of the curses of being half human.
(Phoebe walks back in hanging up the phone) Phoebe: Andy confirmed that some food was missing.
Prue: That narrows it down then to all the restaurants and food places in sanfransico where she'll next attack.
(Phoebe, suddenly just got a promotion of 'The Vulture' attacking Astrid and Jamie at a well know restaurant called Hilton)
Chris: What did you see?
Phoebe: She was attacking, Astrid and her whitelighter. At the Hilton restaurant
Cole: You didn't tell me you were going to go out tonight?
Astrid: Dad that's hardly relevant and besides your business
Prue: Was it at night? (Phoebe nods) Well I suggest we go and make some sort of potion and a spell and we stage the scene out tonight as normal so she can come and we'll vanquish her then.
Cole: And put my daughter in danger?
Piper: Cole, we'll all be watching don't you trust us after all these years?
Paige: We should be the ones asking him that question.
Cole: Fine but I'm coming with you, I'll stay out of sight.
SCENE BREAK - HILTON RESTURANT
Astrid: This was a great idea, you know how to treat a girl
Jamie: Of course I do, I'm an angel. Your from the opposite side of the circle.
Astrid: Yeah that's the only reason why my dad doesn't like you because he thinks the elders are going to give us a hard time.
(Meanwhile, Phoebe, Prue, Piper and Paige were sitting on another table on another table behind them Cole was sitting with Warren)
Phoebe: Why don't you like him? I mean, he's so nice to her.
Cole: It's forbidden love they're doomed.
(Suddenly, the table Astrid and Jamie were sitting at collapsed when an energy ball collided with it. Piper froze the room just in time. Astrid threw another energy ball back Cole's mother 'the vulture' looked shocked)
Cole: Astrid!
Astrid: I'm fine dad... (Cole goes to help her up and throws an energy ball at his mother she dodges it)
The Vulture: Of course half demon, where did you get your witch side from?
Cole: Leave her alone, that's none of your business,
The Vulture: She's my granddaughter. of course it is.
Cole: Like hell (The Vulture shimmers behind Cole and grabs him by the hair, Astrid freezes, Jamie orbs her out of the way. Prue uses her telekinesis to try and throw her out of the way but she has some sort of shield she grins at them whilst Cole tries to struggle free.) Let me go!
The Vulture: I wonder what powers you have now? Your blood may not be valuable but your powers maybe. I heard you became indestructible.
Piper: Paige, try your powers your half whitelighter.
Paige: Chair! (She goes to throw the chair into both of them but the field won't budge, Phoebe is keeping Warren back. The Vulture shimmers away with Cole.)
Warren: Fantastic.
SCENE BREAK - THE HALLIWELL MANNER
Piper: She's a powerful demon.
Prue: Yeah well so is Cole, his family is like the bad version of our family.
Phoebe: If she gets his powers she'll be unstoppable.
Paige: We just need to find him, then use the power of four spell. and the potion.
Astrid: Get Coop to find him, he's Cole's half brother.
Warren: Yeah she's right it might work.
Jamie: Do you want me to check with the elders see if they have anything?
Piper: That could come in handy.
(Jamie smiles and orbs away)
SCENE BREAK - SOMEWHERE IN THE UNDERWORLD
(Cole wakes strapped to some sort of table with metal wiring.)
Cole: Have you been teaming up with those consumers?
The Vulture: Those armatures of course not this is a device to see into your mind how you can control your own powers. I saw your downfall, as well as your rise but I do not want to double cross myself like you did all those years ago.
(A warlock blinks, Cole recognises him as the demon who attacked Astrid and Jamie this morning he is carrying silver glowing balls.)
Cole: So you team up with warlocks, did you order them to attack my daughter today?
The Vulture: Of course. I have to know who my enemy is, I need to draw you out into the open and it worked as well as the charmed ones.
Cole: Yeah and now they're going to come after you and vanquish you!
(The Vulture smiles and places the balls in a tube like device connecting with wires to the table)
The Vulture: Then it'll be to late.
SCENE BREAK THE HALLIWELL MANNER.
Coop: So Cole's mom is here? You do relies she killed our dad, I mean Cole even admitted it.
Phoebe: Yeah that's not the problem, she's kidnapped him and we need you to find him.
Coop: How?
Astrid: By using your cupid powers Warrens upstairs trying to sense him now.
Coop: Alright. (Coop closes his eyes and thinks long and hard to find his brother) I know where he is. He's hurt.
SCENE BREAK SOMEWHERE IN THE UNDERWORLD
(Cole, drained from most of his blood and powers is thrown on the floor and the charmed ones show up with Coop)
The Vulture: Your too late. I told him that he wouldn't believe me.
Prue: You drank your own son's blood? Eww.
(Piper just looked at her and shook her head)
Coop: He looks really out off it
Paige: Potion! (She throws the potion aiming for her veins it hits and they start to go dry)
Paige, Phoebe, Piper, Prue: The Vulture which we see within this dark culture will not dewl any longer release this demon into the everlasting dark give us back the powers which are rightly ours. (The Vulture dries out and then goes poof a cloud of yellow twinkling star like things go into Cole. Coop kneels down and feels his neck)
Phoebe: Is he alright?
Coop: (Shakes his head) He's lost allot of blood.
(Phoebe kneels down at starts to heal him and it works as Cole isn't resisting, Piper blows up the device The Vulture was using. Cole suddenly wakes up)
Cole: You saved me?
Phoebe: Of course we did, couldn't leave my son without a father. We no your defiantly not a demon we saw your powers, they're so bright and light.
Paige: Come on lets get out of here, I have a date with Henry. (Piper rolls her eyes)
(Paige orbs, Prue and Piper out)
Cole: (Turns to Coop) You alright?
Coop: Yeah, I'm always alright. (Coop kisses Phoebe, Cole stands there awkwardly.)
SCENE BREAK - THE HALLIWELL MANNER
(Astrid, Jamie, Warren are awaiting nervously for all of them to come back and they finally arrive)
Astrid: DAD! Your okay! (Astrid runs up and hugs Cole, who hugs her back happily)
Cole: Of course I'm okay you can't get rid of me that easily,
Jamie: We still didn't get rid of that warlock.
Piper: (Piper sighs) What warlock?
Warren: The warlock that attacked them this morning.
Cole: He was working with my mother he won't bother you again, if he does he'll be an easy vanquish.
Paige: Well anyway, Henry is waiting for me at P4 so I'll see you all later. (Paige orbs out)
Coop: Me and Phoebe, are going to see what troubles Prue, Parker and Peter got up too. (Phoebe and Coop smile at each other and Coop beams them out)
Cole: Thanks Piper, for your help.
Piper: Anytime.
Warren: I'm going home now, (he projects himself out, Astrid smiles and follows so does Cole leaving Prue, Jamie and Piper)
SCENE BREAK - P4 Piper's restaurant.
Paige: What are we going to do Henry? About the baby?
Henry: We can work it out,
Paige: It'll put our whole family in danger, I'm thinking we should see a couple off doctor's and find out what's wrong if he's mortal then were gonna have to get out off here...
Henry: And leave your sister's?
Paige: My commitment is to you, Pandora, Charlie, Rose and this baby. It is to my sister's but you come first and besides Prue is there now.
