They’re Everywhere
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa Hale who’s my own creation.
Authors Notes: This’s series three of my, Charmed season, which continues a week after “All Hell Breaks Loose”
Note: Hiya folks & welcome to my new season of Charmed. My stories will be different as they were then but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. Everyone who was there will still, be here minus Prue & Phoebe who’re dead of course & some other characters that were introduced will be back this season. I’ll still be using spells from the show & some I create myself which’ll be different but still have the same affect & better sounding. I may, use some stories from season two as episode fillers to outweigh the main storyline going on here or I mayn’t. I’ll see about that when it comes along.
Extra Note: Melissa helps a family out from some warlocks called “Collectors” who want the location of the “Akashic Records” from the son. The two become close much to Cole’s annoyance & Paige casts a mind reading spell fearing that her new boyfriends a demon which has good & bad repercussions.
Episode Six
San Francisco Museum Wednesday Fifth October
A lot of people including Melissa are walking inside looking at the
new exhibition there. A tour guide talks to some person’s about
one of the features shown.
“Legend held buried somewhere near a rocky desert, a fabled
book, penned by ancient mystics, known as the Akashic Records
believed to be a written account of all significant events
throughout time. Powerful stuff especially if someone got their
hands on that, they’d win the lotto or at least get tender. To
know the future brings ultimate power which’s why everyone
from Hera to Hitler looked for the records. But to find them, they
needed a map. This tablet found in the Ivory Coast last years
believed to be that very map. Although the engravings are of a
lost language they’re so far & undecipherable, even for scholars
like myself but we're close. Whoever can decipher them first will
know the exact latitude & longitude of the Akashic Records.
A young dark blonde haired guy standing in front of it writes
something down on his notepad. Another medium tall brown
haired guy’s interested in what the tour guide says also.
“Oh my God, that's it.”
The tour guide & everyone else, looks at the man confused.
“Excuse me?” The tour guide says.
The man looks at the tour guide.
“No, uh, excuse me.”
Turning round he runs down the corridor. The brown haired guy
looks on suspiciously. The young man bumps into Melissa by a,
nearby statute.
“Oh I’m sorry” The man says.
Seeing him she immediately gets a premonition. Melissa sees the
young man pinned down in a park by two men one of them with
their long sharp fang like nails penetrating his skull. Coming
outta the vision she goes after him.
“Hey.”
Running along the corridor she turns left & skates downstairs to
the front entrance & exits the museum onto the street looking for
the man.
San Francisco Street
Scanning her eyes round Melissa doesn’t see him unfortunately.
OPENING CREDITS
I am the son and the heir
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
See I’ve already waited to long
And all my hope is gone

Ashlee Simpson’s song “Outta My Heads” playing.
Chorus
Outta my outta my head want you outta my head.
Outta my outta my head get outta my head.
Outta my outta my head want you outta my head.
Outta my outta my head, that’s what I said wow.
Manor Lounge
Leo cleaning some windows hears the front door go & turns
round seeing Melissa walk inside.
“Hey sweetie”
Melissa answers not looking at him.
“Sorry dad got an innocent to save.”
She goes over to the stairs & walks up them. Leo comes over to
her.
“Whoa wait what innocent? How was the exhibition?”
Melissa turns round replying back.
“Ok but this guy bumped into me & I got a premonition of him
being pinned down in a park by two demons or warlocks & one of
them killing him with their razor long sharp finger.”
“Do you know who they were?”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No but hopefully the book will.”
“What about him?”
“Once I know about them I’ll go down to the station & see if
Darryl can tell me about him & then me, mum & Aunt Paige can
bring him here & vanquish them before they’ve a chance to hurt
him.”
Turning round she carries on upstairs towards the Attic.
Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
The guy from the museum’s talking to his comatose father in his
room.
“I cracked it, dad the rest of the map. It’s a transposition
sequence just like you said & it's all in here.”
He points to his head.
“The location of the Akashic Records.” “Now, they're goanna
come after me, just like they came after you, but don’t worry dad
I'll be ready for them.”
A doctor walks in.
“Eric, can I speak to you please?”
Eric gets of the bed & goes over to him.
“I'm not moving him, Dr. Stone.”
“Eric, it's been six weeks. This faculty’s not designed for long
term maintenance.”
“Maintenance this’s my father we're talking about.” “He's goanna
get better & he's staying here.”
Veering right Eric walks outta the room leaving Dr Stone angry
before he blinks out.
Police Station
Looking over some case files Darryl hears, someone come up to
him. Glancing up he sighs seeing Melissa standing right in front.
Darryl gets up & moves away from her.
“No way Mel, forget it.” “Whatever you, want I’m not helping
you.”
Melissa follows him to a room.
Archive Room
Coming inside she closes the doors.
“But you don’t even know why I’m here Darryl.”
“I know every time you & your family come there’s always
something witchy going on.”
“Well I can’t help it if evil follows us around.”
“& gets me in trouble in the, process.”
“Which, we try keep you outta of as much as possible.” “& look at how many innocents you’ve helped save because of us like this one if you can identify him.”
She shows him a picture of Eric she drew.
“I got a premonition of him when he bumped into me at the
museum & saw 2 warlocks called Collectors who drain peoples knowledge from them pin him down in a park & one of them
sticking a long razor sharp nail fang inside his head. So I was
wondering if you could input this into your computer database &
come up with a name & address or something.”
Darryl looks flabbergasted at Melissa.
“I can’t just go around giving you people’s name’s & addresses.”
“Please Darryl this man’s life depends on it.” “I can’t let him die.”
Seeing Melissa’s face Darryl sighs.
“Alright then I’ll do it but this can’t come back onto me ok?”
“It won’t I promise.”
Turning round she opens the door up & looks back at Darryl.
“Thanks Darryl.”
Darryl waves his hand at her.
“Yeah, yeah I know.” “Get outta here.” “I’ll call you.”
“Cheers mate.”
Veering round she walks outta the room.
P Three Basement
Piper’s talking & showing a health inspector around here.
“So the rooms well ventilated keeping all our food dry & fresh.
She opens a cupboard showing him this. The inspector ticks a
few boxes on his clipboard.
“& you’re drinks?”
“There delivered round back & stored airtight in here.” “Our cold
drinks are stored in the fridge.”
Piper opens that up.
“Which we record & check the temperature everyday.”
The inspector ticks a few more boxes. Closing the door Piper
leads the inspector up into the main clubroom.
Clubroom
& shows him the bar area.
“We clean & change our beer barrels daily.” “& regularly stock,
check what drinks we’re using each evening & make sure the
pumps work also.
The inspector gets a glass a pours a little bit of Fosters in it
which he sets down on the bar & ticks on his sheet.
“& hygiene wise?”
“The cleaner maintains the toilets & mops the floors.” “& we spray the tables after someone’s being there.”
The inspector touches one of them to see if any dusts on it.
“Including the bar area also” “Plus my staff spray gel their hands
after handling everything.”
The inspector ticks some more boxes.
“What about your stage area?”
“Well that’s.”
Piper’s interrupted when she sees Melissa walking downstairs.
Her face contorts seeing her & so turns round to the inspector.
“Excuse me Mr. Denver it’s my cousin.” “I’ll be right back.”
She walks over & whispers to Melissa.
“What’re you doing here Mel it’s you’re day off.”
Melissa whispers back.
“I know mom but something happened at the museum which we
need to sort out right away.”
Piper looks at the health inspector then back at Melissa.
“I can’t Mel I’m in the middle of a health inspection.”
“But this’s serious mom we’ve an innocent to save.”
“Well get Cole or Paige to help then.”
“We’ll need your freezing power mom.”
“I’m sorry sweetie but I can’t help right now sorry.”
Piper walks back to the inspector. Melissa whispers angrily to her.
“Mom”
Not responding Melissa turns round & walks out the room.
Bay View Cafe
Paige & her boyfriend Tony are sat down at a table as a waitress
comes over with their drinks.
“Here you go guys.”
“Thank you.” Paige says.
She takes a sip from her iced tea. Tony smiles at her when she
does that.
“You’re real cute when you do that.”
Paige stops drinking & moves her head sideways a little whilst
her eyebrows turn upwards as she smiles at the comment on
that.
“Oh am I?” She says.
Tony moves up close to her.
“Absolutely” “Killer dress by the way”
Paige does the same.
“Well I don’t just wear this for anybody.”
“Yeah I know.”
He whispers in her ear as his left hand skims up her right leg.
“I can’t wait to rip it right of you.”
Paige grabs that & pulls it away from her.
“Tony hey we’re in a public café you know.” “There better places
to do that.”
“Why can’t I show my girlfriend affection?”
Paige nods her head.
“Yes but there other ways of doing that.”
“Okay then can I kiss you?” Tony asks.
Paige nods her head again.
“You may do that yes.”
They both kiss as Tony’s cell phone goes off. He pulls away
reluctantly looking whose calling.
“This’s important I’m sorry.”
Getting up he goes away from her. Looking back Paige notices
Melissa sit in the chair opposite.
“Hey Paige sorry to bother to you but I rang your department &
they said you were out here on a lunch time date with Tony.”
Paige nods her head.
“Yeah I am um”
“I know it’s inconvenient but I need your help.”
Paige butts in about something.
“What do you think about guys going off all the time?”
Melissa looks at her confused.
“How do you mean?”
“Well Tony just got a phone call & every time he gets that he
leaves afterwards.”
Melissa looks round at him talking then back at Paige.
“Maybe it’s something important like work or whatever.”
“Tony’s a finance accountant. He only works in one place.”
“Yeah but they do have a lot clients Paige.”
Paige sighs resigning to that answer.
“I suppose yeah.” “What’s it you want?”
“Unfortunately it’s the, you know what kinder thing.”
“Alright then I’ll just tell Tony & meet you afterwards.”
“Thanks, Paige.”
Getting up, Melissa walks of to her Jeep Liberty. Tony comes back
& talks to Paige.
“Sorry Paige but I have to go rain check?”
“That’s alright I’ve got something important also.”
“Sometime later then?”
“Sure yeah”
They get up & kiss. Tony walks off just as Paige subconsciously
thinks something.
“Oh god what if he’s a demon.”
Grabbing her stuff she leaves some money on the table & leaves.
Eric’s Apartment Building
Paige & Melissa are walking down the hallway.
“So who’s this guy then? Paige asks.
“Eric Bragg.” “Darryl gave me his address.”
“I’m surprised he did that.”
“Uh well that’s what you get when you put on the Halliwell
charm.” “Err I can’t believe Piper’s not with us.”
“Well you said she had a health inspection.” “That’s important.”
“So’s this.” “It’s not as if that’s a matter of life & death.”
“No but if the club got shut down because she wasn’t, there then
you wouldn’t have the house or money to do this & you wouldn’t
have a job.”
“Well we own the house outright so that doesn’t matter & she
could’ve rescheduled.”
“You can’t reschedule health inspections Mel.”
“& you can’t put a man’s life against that Paige.”
Paige whispers this time.
“Yeah but Piper doesn’t get premonitions like you Mel so she
don’t feel or understand as much & she can’t be in two places at once either.” “Besides you said these Collectors whatever don’t
need the power of three to vanquish them.”
Melissa whispers back.
“No, I said their hunger for knowledge is your ally which don’t necessary mean we do need the power of three or not.”
“Well then we’ll just have to figure that out & save Eric first.”
Seeing a door marked five D Paige points to it.
“Is this where he lives?”
Melissa looks at the piece of paper.
“Yeah it is.”
They hear scuffling inside & look at each other.
“Come on.” Melissa replies.
Eric’s Apartment
Opening the door up Paige & Melissa walk in seeing the two
Collectors one been Dr Stone holding Eric down on the table. Dr
Stone’s finger turns into a needle. Melissa shouts at them.
“Hey.”
They both look up at her. She kicks Dr Stone with the needle in
the face making him loose his grip & back away in pain.
“AH!”
Eric falls, flat on the floor. The other backs away & comes
towards them.
“Paige.” Melissa says.
Paige orbs out then back in, in panic when the Collector tries to
grab her & they both grabble together. Melissa trades blows with
Dr Stone who does his best to block them. The second Collector
extends his finger & goes to insert it inside Paige’s brain. Paige
shouts out.
“MEL!”
Swinging round she kicks the Collector in the stomach stopping
him do that.
“AH!”
He backs away a little. Melissa gets two potions out from her bag
ready to throw them but Eric gets up.
“Get back.”
Going inside his drawer he pulls a gun out & shoots them both
not having much affect. Paige looks on shocked.
“Oh my God”
The Collectors stand back up with their wounds healed.
“Let’s get outta here.” “Come on.” Melissa says.
They run outside leaving the Collectors wondering what
happened.
Hallway
Eric, Melissa & Paige walk in seeing Cole & Leo there.
“Hey guys, is this.”
“Eric yes.” Melissa says. “Could you take him into the kitchen for
us?”
“Sure yeah” Cole says.
The three men walk straight ahead.
“Hey why don’t you join them Mel & I’ll go upstairs & see if
there’s anything we’ve missed, out”
Melissa nods her head.
“Ok then.”
Turning right Melissa walks towards the kitchen as Paige goes
upstairs.
Attic
Paige’s flipping through the book when she comes across the
hearing thoughts spell one. She reads out aloud.
“To hear someone thoughts when you want to know or think
there hiding something.” “Um this could tell me if Tony’s a demon
or not.” “To cast this spell light one blue candle & say these
words.” “Ok then.”
Going over to the trunk she opens it up.
“Lock.”
The lock opens into her hand. Paige delves inside & gets out one
blue candle & some matches which she puts on a table & lights
up. She then goes back to the book.
“Here goes.” “AS FLAME LIGHTS SHADOW AS TRUTH ENDS FEAR,
OPEN LOCKED THOUGHTS TO MY MINDS WILLING EAR, MAY THE
SMOKE THESE CANDLES INTO EVERYWHERE CREEP, BRING INNER
MOST VOICE TO MY MIND IN SPEECH.”
The candle flickers then goes out letting smoke rise from it. Paige
goes over & gets it.
“Let’s hope it’s worked.”
Kitchen
Everyone else’s talking in the kitchen.
“They’re the one’s who put my father in the hospital. They took
his mind.”
“Who’re they?” Leo asks.
“Dr Stone, my father’s doctor & his colleague.”
“& what do you think they are?” Melissa says.
Coming in Paige hears what Eric’s thinking.
“NCA, CIA, who knows?” (Out Loud) “Somebody in bullet proof,
vests.” “The question is- who are you?
“Friends” Melissa adds.
Eric thinks which Paige hears again.
“Yeah right” “They’re after the Akashic Records too.”
“What’re the Akashic Records?” Paige replies.
Her eyes go wide in shock when she realises what just
happened.
"I knew it.” Eric comments.
The others looked confused at her.
“Whoa what did you just say Paige?” Cole questions. “How do
you know about that?”
Paige tries covering her tracks quickly.
“Lucky guess” “So what’re they Eric?”
“They’re a book of ancient prophecies.” “The future of the world
right down to the smallest detail hidden & lost away for
centuries” But it’s just legend.” Leo replies.
Eric looks at Leo wondering how he knew that.
“How do you know that?”
Melissa quickly thinks up a lie.
“Oh Leo saw the exhibit about it at the museum a few days
ago.”
“Yeah Mel’s right.” Leo pretends to agree.
“Well obviously these people want those records because they
know Eric knows how to find them. Paige comments.
Eric speaks out confused at how everyone knows about it.
“Ok who’re you people?”
“People who can help you, Eric” Cole replies.
Melissa puts her hand over her mouth.
“Oh my god if that’s, true then these records are real which
means.”
“If the bad guys get them there’ll be no more humans & they’ll
win.” Leo adds worried. “I’d better warn my bosses.”
Leo turns round & walks outta the room. Eric gets up from his
chair & starts to walks off to.
“I gotta get my father outta the hospital.”
Melissa tries to stop him.
“No Eric, wait.”
He looks at Melissa.
“He’s stuck in there Mel & Dr. Stone’s in on it.”
“Eric, it’s not about your father anymore. It’s about you.
Especially if they know you know how to find the Akashic
Records.” Paige says.
“Paige’s right.” Melissa proclaims. “They’ll use your father to get
to you.” “You can’t go there.”
Eric comes up to her seriously.
“Oh yeah try & stop me.”
Melissa grabs his arm & flips him over making him land backward
on the floor. She sits on top of him.
“How about this then?” Melissa smiles at him.
“Ah you’re strong.” Eric smiles back.
“I work out a lot.” Melissa says back.
Cole looks on jealous at their quick connection. Piper walks in.
“Okay Mel I’m sorry about earlier but.”
She notices Eric on the floor.
“Whoa who’s the cutie?”
Eric tries getting off Melissa.
“Um Piper maybe you could a little help there?” Paige replies.
Piper freezes Eric.
“So who is he then?”
Paige chips in.
“Oh he’s the hottie Mel likes.”
Melissa looks at her shocked.
“Huh?” “How do you know? Piper asks.
Melissa quickly pips in.
“Excuse me Aunt Paige I don’t like him that way ok this’s Eric
Bragg the guy who bumped into me at the museum.” “Two
warlocks called Collectors wants what’s in his brain the location
of the Akashic Records.”
She gets off Eric.
“Which’s a lost text that predicts all future events” “Collectors
get it, the worlds a goner.” Cole confirms.
“Leo went upstairs to tell the Elders.” Paige says.
“Ok how do we vanquish them?”
Melissa snorts at Piper.
“Huh now you wanna know.”
“I’m sorry sweetie but a health, inspections important & a legal
requirement.
“So’s your other job especially when a man’s life’s at stake.”
“Eric’s here now so he’s ok”
“He mightn’t, been if me & Aunt Paige hadn’t won.”
“I, came after you called.”
“Which I shouldn’t have had to, do mom.”
Cole butts in.
“Guys you need to focus on Eric here ok & not argue.”
“Right we need to get Eric’s father outta the hospital.” Paige
says.
Piper looks at Paige.
“Does Eric know who we are & about demons & warlocks?”
“No, he thinks it’s a government conspiracy.” Melissa answers.
“Right then you need to get back on top of him.”
Melissa looks slyly at Paige.
“I don’t mean in that way.” “& we need to go to the hospital.”
“Whose goanna stay with Eric?” Cole asks.
Melissa replies after going back into her position.
“I will you three are more powerful.” “I’ll stay here & try figure
out what the message in the book means.”
“Ok then we’ll call you when we’re done.” Piper pitches.
Cole & the girls walk towards the kitchen door. Melissa turns
round to them.
“Hey mom, could you?”
Piper unfreezes Eric as the lot of them leave. Melissa smiles back
down at Eric.
“Now, are you goanna behave?”
“Do I have a choice?” Eric replies smiling up at her.
“Not really.” Melissa comments. “Come on.”
She pulls him up from the floor.
Outside The Museum
Dr Stone’s there. The other, Collector walks up to him.
“Did you find Eric?”
“No.” “The women who took him are obviously protecting him.”
“The Akashic Records are within our reach.”
“We’ll need to be more careful especially if there’s, anymore
witches.” “& its goanna be difficult to drain his brain if they know
what we’re after.
“Don’t worry my friend.” “The way to a man’s mind’s through his
heart.”
“Oh, very nice”
Dr. Stone blinks out & the other disappears afterwards.
Sunroom
Eric’s sitting at a table. Melissa brings out some tea & pours it in
two cups.
“Hope you like tea although I’m more of a coffee girl myself but I don’t mind this now & again.”
Eric shakes his head.
“No tea’s fine, thank you.”
He gets outta the seat.
“Hey how did you know to be at my apartment to help me?”
Melissa turns to leave but Eric stops her.
“Uh, it’s a long story.”
“Shorten it.”
“Well without going into too much detail, I sorter have, a gift
where I know things are goanna happen before they do.
“Whaddya mean like clairvoyance or something?”
“Like I said I can’t say too much.”
“Why not?”
Looking off in the distance Melissa thinks about Prue & Phoebe &
almost nearly cries but doesn’t.
“Because I’ve seen what happens when the wrong people know
about your secret.”
Seeing her reaction Eric stops pressuring her.
“So you don’t, work for some government agency?
He & Melissa sit down. She shakes her head smiling.
“No, I’m just a girl who works in a night club although today was
my day off but.”
“Oh I’m sorry if I’ve ruined your day.”
“Don’t worry I’m used to it.” “Now, let me ask you a
question.” “This thing, you did translating this ancient code
whatever. Why did you do it?”
“For my father”
“To, finish his work?”
“People hurt him & I wanna find out whom & I wanna get even.”
“Even, with the risk of them hurting you?”
“He’s my dad. I love him & if I can’t have him back, I want justice.”
Melissa drinks some of her tea.
“I understand that.”
Eric takes a sip also.
“Really?” “You & you’re folks close then?”
“My real parents died when I was born so I was adopted but
there dead now also.”
Eric looks shocked hearing that.
“God Mel I’m so sorry.”
Melissa shakes her head.
“It’s alright Eric I’ve had a long time to get over it.” “But when
they were alive we were real close yeah & my brother Ryan
also.” “Anyway I’ve got my cousins & my uncle now so I’m not
totally alone.”
“No you’re not.”
They both stare at each other for a few seconds.
“Whoa look at me I’m a sucker for families.”
“Then you can see why I have to go the hospital Mel.” “If
something happened to my father & I wasn’t there to help I’d
never forgive myself.”
Seeing the look on his face Melissa weakens a little.
“Alright then follow me.”
Getting up they go over to get her stuff then walk out the front
door as Melissa sets the alarm on.
San Francisco Streets
Eric, Melissa, Cole, Paige & Piper are walking up to the hospital.
Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
They enter the front door & find the place’s deserted. The phone
rings at the reception desk.
“Where is everybody? Piper asks.
“& why’s the place deserted?” Paige questions.
“Something must be up.” Cole says. ”I’ll go down the hallway &
check it out.”
Melissa nods her head.
“Alright Cole”
Cole walks of along the corridor. Melissa gets her gun out &
points it ahead. Eric goes in front of her but Melissa stops him.
“Stay here Eric.”
Moving cautiously over to the desk Melissa peers round holding
her gun still. Seeing the receptionist lying on the floor Melissa
puts that down then bends over & feels her neck. Eric sees this.
Melissa calls out.
“She’s alive but comatose.”
“Comatose? How?” Paige asks.
“Obviously when the warlocks drain someone’s knowledge they
drain their essence also leaving them vegetative.
“Just like my dad.” Eric declares worried.
Turning round he runs down the hallway.
“Eric, wait.” Melissa replies worried following him.
“The Collectors are in Eric’s father’s room”
Piper looks at Paige.
“Okay what’s going on Paige?”
Paige tries lying to her.
“Whaddya mean Piper?”
“You know what I mean Paige first in the house now here.” “How do you know the Collectors are in Eric’s father’s room?” “PAIGE!”
“Alright I cast a mind reading spell.”
Piper can’t believe what she’s said.
“You what?”
“I wanna know if my boyfriend Tony’s a demon because every
time he gets a phone call he up & leaves which’s why I cast the
spell to make sure if that’s true or not.”
“Paige you don’t cast a spell to see if someone’s a demon you
shove a potion down their throat.” “If they cough then there not
a demon”
Paige’s shocked hearing that?
“You shove a potion down them?”
“Yes Paige” “God didn’t switching bodies with Mel teach you
anything about impromptu spell casting & all those other spells
you cast which made your boobs grow big.”
“I’m sorry Piper I just saw it &.”
“You can’t use spells to solve all your problems Paige especially
this one which’s private & intruding on our thoughts.”
“I won’t do it again I promise I’m sorry.”
Piper sighs.
“We’ll fix this later come on.”
They follow down where Melissa & Eric just went. Cole comes,
outta a room where someone’s comatose also.
Hallway
“Where’re they Cole?” Melissa asks.
“There not in this room.”
Eric goes past them into his dad’s room.
“Eric.” Melissa says.
They both follow him.
Eric’s Dad’s Room
He goes over to his dad’s bed.
“Dad, we gotta get you outta here.”
The rest enter the room.
“Eric.” Melissa, queries.
“I’m getting him outta here, Mel.”
Dr. Stone & the collector blink in the room. Piper attempts to blow
one of them but they put there arm in the way which reforms
afterwards.
“Oh my god” Paige announces shocked.
The two collectors blink out.
“What the hell?” Eric replies stunned also. “Where’d they go?”
“Be careful there still here.” Cole says conjuring up an energy
ball.
“Alright let’s get him outta here.” Piper declares.
“I’ll go get a chair.” Paige says walking out the room to find a
wheelchair.
Piper & Melissa go over to Eric’s father. But find Dr Stone there
with Melissa’s gun pointed at Eric’s dad’s head.
“Dad”
“He’s got my gun.”
Hallway
Hearing this Paige runs back into the room with a wheelchair
seeing this & the other Collector appearing behind Eric &
grabbing him.
“Eric.” Melissa replies worried.
Cole goes to throw his energy ball but Dr Stone stops him.
“Uh, uh throw it & he dies.”
Paige calls for Eric’s dad.
“Eric’s dad”
& orbs him into the, wheelchair. Melissa grabs a vase of flowers
& hits the Collector over the head. He lets go of Eric & falls to the
ground. Dr. Stone blinks in beside Paige & throws her away from
Eric’s dad.
“Ah!” She says falling to the ground.
Melissa aims her gun at them but the Collectors hold onto Eric’s
dad & blink outta the room. Eric looks on worried.
“Dad?”
“I’ll go after them.” Cole states.
He shimmers out.
“Cole.” Melissa cries out.
Outside Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
Eric’s running downstairs. Melissa, Paige & Piper are chasing him.
“Eric! Eric, we still wanna help you. Nothing’s changed.” Melissa
replies.
Eric stops running.
“Everything’s changed Melissa. Some monsters just took my dad.”
“They’re called warlocks Eric.” She answers back.
“Warlocks? & what’s that’s make the three of you?”
“Witches” Paige says. “We fight evil & protect people.”
“Forgive me, for saying so but that’s insane.”
“Eric, you believe in the Akashic Records & all the power they
represent.” Piper, comments.
“I guess.”
“Well, most people think that’s myth.” She feeds back.
“But now you know it isn’t, so isn’t it possible that other things
like witches & warlocks also exist? Melissa says.
“Okay but who was that other person then?” “Is he one of them
to?”
Piper shakes her head.
“No Cole’s half demon but he’s good.” “He won’t hurt you.”
“So why do warlocks want my dad then?”
“They’re probably wanna trade. Your dad for what’s in your
head.” Melissa answers.
“& they can appear anytime, any place, which’s why we need to
get you back to the manor where you’ll be safer than anywhere
else.” Piper notifies.
“Look, Eric I know we don’t know each other but everything I
said in the Sunrooms true except you know about our secret now
also.” Melissa comments.
“It’s one hell of a secret.” He answers back.
“Which, I trust you with. So please, trust me in return.” “Now if
we’re goanna save your father, we have to keep you safe until
we figure out what we’re goanna do.”
Eric ignores that.
You do that. I’ve another idea.
He walks off. Melissa shouts out.
“Eric.” “Great.” “I’ll go after him you two get, home.”
She runs after him. Paige sighs frustrated a little.
“Do we have to protect him? Cause he’s pissing me off.”
“Unfortunately, yes.” Piper replies back.
They walk off towards Piper’s Jeep Cherokee.
San Francisco Museum
Eric’s getting a fire extinguisher. Melissa steps in front of him.
“What’re you doing Eric?”
“You’ll see.”
“Eric stop you’ll get arrested.”
He looks at her.
“I don’t care Mel.” “I have to do this.”
He side steps her & walks out into the museum room. Melissa
follows him.
“We shouldn’t be out in the open like this. It’s not safe.”
“Then go you don’t have to be here.”
“& let you get busted?”
They walk right up to the map stone. Melissa studies it.
“Wow, that’s the map stone isn’t it?”
“You know, my father thought it’d be wonderful translating it.” “A
gift of knowledge to, usher the world into the new millennium.”
He gets ready to break the glass but Melissa stops him.
“Whoa, wait. What’re you doing?”
Eric looks at her.
“If the Akashic Records are everything you say they are, they’re
not a gift. The warlocks shouldn’t have that knowledge & neither
should the rest of us. With all the knowledge revealed, we’d
have no free will.”
Melissa stares at the tablet.
“& no world as, we know it.”
“Maybe no world at all”
Eric smashes the glass cabinet with the fire extinguisher. The
alarm goes off. He gets the map stone out & throws it on the
ground destroying it. Everyone stands there shocked.
“Now no one else will ever be able to translate the map. The only
place the longitude’s in my head.”
The two of them run off. A member of the public speaks.
“I’ll get security.”
Upstairs
Paige & Piper are walking up here.
“Poor Eric”
“He’ll be okay, we’ll figure this out.”
“But in the meantime the warlocks have his father I can’t imagine
how helpless he feels.”
Paige nods her in agreement.
“Yeah I know.”
Attic
They walk in over to the book. Leo orbs in.
“Leo you’ve been gone hours.” Piper announces.
“Yeah sorry guys but the Elders were deliberating”
“Well while that’s happened we’ve been doing.” She says back.
Leo looks confused at them.
“Whaddya mean?”
“We went to the hospital to get Eric’s dad but the Collectors took
him. Cole followed them but we haven’t heard from him yet.”
“Where’s Mel?”
“She called saying her & Eric went to the museum & destroyed
the Akashic map so he’s the only person who knows where the
records are.”
“Well you have to get him back Piper.” “Eric must be
protected.” “The Collectors can’t get what information’s inside his
head.”
“He is coming back Leo.” “Mel’s driving them.” Piper insists.
“Okay, have you figured out what to do?”
“The only way to protect Eric’s to take the information outta his
brain forever. The spell’s right here.”
“Yeah but if we do that Eric, won’t have anything to offer the
warlocks & they’ll be furious & kill his dad.” Paige quizzes.
“Eric’s innocent. Our priority’s him.” Piper answers looking at,
Paige.
“They’re both innocent Piper.” “We have to save them.” “I mean,
there’s gotta be another way with all the hocus pocus we have.
“That still may not be enough though.” “You’re talking about the
future, everyone’s future.” Leo replies.
“So we have to sacrifice Eric’s dad for the greater food?” Paige
asks frustrated.
Leo nods his head serenely.
“Maybe, yes.”
“Man, dress it up anyway you want, it stinks.”
Cole shimmers in.
“Hey Cole did you find Eric’s father?” Paige, queries.
He shakes his head.
“No sorry.” “Every time I shimmered they blinked out.” “They’ve
probably stashed him something we can’t find him until they
make contact with Eric.”
They all hear Melissa’s Jeep Liberty pull up in the driveway.
“Oh here they are now.” Piper says.
“Uh we’ll have to tell her.” Paige replies.
Cole looks at that little baffled.
“Tell Mel what?”
Piper hangs her head down a little.
“That, we may’ve to sacrifice Eric’s dad.”
“Yeah so?” Cole answers back.
“So I think she likes Eric even though she said she wouldn’t go
with anyone until we’ve vanquished the Source.” Piper bites,
back sighing.
“Come on.” Paige says.
The gang walk downstairs.
Hallway
Stopping there Eric talks to them.
“Have the warlocks made contact yet?”
“Uh not yet no” Piper, answers.
“Did you guys find anything in the book?” Melissa quizzes.
“You tell her.” Paige declares.
“We’ll both tell her.” Piper says back. “Uh, why don’t you check
your messages at home Eric.” “Maybe they’ve tried to contact
you there.”
“Alright”
He goes of into the Lounge.
“Okay what’s going on?” Melissa asks.
“Can we talk sweetie?” Piper says.
Lounge
Eric’s checking his messages with the operator.
“You have no new messages.”
Kitchen
“Wait, you’re willing to let Eric’s father die?” Melissa says angrily.
“Mel we can’t risk losing Eric & allow the warlocks to gain future
knowledge.”
“But we have to try & save his dad also mom.”
“Not at the expense of the whole world we can’t sweetie.” We have to save everyone’s dad & protect them from these warlocks but we can’t do that if they have the records.
“Mel you need to tell Eric that we might’ve to sacrifice his father
for the greater good”
Melissa raises her voice a little.
“I know Aunt Paige but how do think he’s goanna feel when I tell
him that after I promised we’d save him.”
She starts to leave.
“Sweetie” Piper says.
“You don’t even care.”
She turns around.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. I don’t even know why I said it.”
Paige looks at her mournfully
“Do you want us to tell him?”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No, I’ll do it.
Lounge
Eric’s cell phone rings. He answers it.
“Hello?”
Dr Stone answers.
“Eric, I assume you know who this is?”
“Where’s my father?”
“Oh, so you do know. Good.”
The Oak Grove Golden Gate Park
Eric’s dad’s in the wheelchair there. Dr Stone extends a finger
inside his head waking him up. Feeling a little dizzy Ben checks
his surrounding’s.
“Say hello to Eric, Ben.”
He puts the phone up to Ben’s ear.
“Son?”
Lounge
“Dad?”
Golden Gate Park
“I feel so odd.”
Lounge
“Dad.”
Golden Gate Park
Dr Stone puts his needle finger in Ben’s head.
“Oh, he’s gone, Eric. But I can bring him back & give him to you.
All I want in exchange’s what’s in your head.”
Lounge
“Where can I find you?”
Golden Gate Park
“The Oak Grove West End of Golden Gate Park,” “Half an
hour” “Alone without the demon or witches.”
Lounge
Melissa walks in.
“Eric?”
He hangs up.
“Any messages?”
“No, not yet”
Melissa comes up to him.
“Eric”
He puts his right hand on her mouth.
“Before you say another word, Mel I wanna thank you for
everything you’ve done trying to save my father.” “You’re not an
angel are you?”
Melissa freezes at that a little but soon recovers.
“No, I’m no angel.”
“That’s a shame.” “You’d certainly be a good one.” “It’s sad your
family died.” They’d be so proud of you if they were still here.”
Melissa lies slightly.
“Oh I’m sure in there own way they know that.” Eric um I-I need
to talk to you about your father.
“Ok.” “Maybe we should have another cup of tea first.”
“Sure I’ll just go get that.”
“Thanks.”
Melissa turns to leave but Eric stops her.
“Hey Mel”
She turns back.
“Yes Eric?”
Leaning forward he kisses her softly on the lips as if it’s the only
time he’ll ever will. Responding back Melissa lightly touches his
neck with her right hand. Caught up in the moment they don’t
notice Cole watching them until he coughs alerting them he’s
there. Pulling away they both smile at each other then Melissa
walks into the kitchen. Eric starts walking towards the front door
but Cole stops him.
Hallway
“Where you going Eric?”
Paige & Piper come up to him.
“Oh, I’m just goanna go out & get some fresh air.”
Paige hears him think.
“The Oak Grove, Golden Gate Park”
“Mel!” Paige shouts.
“Paige what is it?” Piper asks
Eric leaves. Melissa comes in.
“Where’s Eric going guys?” Melissa questions.
“The Oak Grove, Golden Gate Park” Paige says.
“Oh no, the warlocks must’ve contacted him. Let’s go come on”
Melissa puts the teabags down & grabs her bags & coats & goes
outta the door. The others except Cole follow her.
Golden Gate Park
Melissa drives fast down the pathway & stops her car right round
the end. The girls all get out before Melissa locks the doors.
“Ok, there oak trees everywhere” Piper frustratingly states.
Paige hears Melissa think.
“What if we’re too late?”
“Mel, stop thinking that will you” “God I can’t wait for all this to
end.”
“Hey will you get outta my head please?” Melissa answers back.
“Alright, the Book of Shadows said that their hunger is our ally,
so there must be a way to use the knowledge they require
against them.” Piper says.
“Or use their greed to trap them.” Paige adds.
“Yeah, well, if all else fails, then I’ll try freeze, them then Paige
can move them, long along for Eric to get away.”
“& save his father right?”
“We’ll do our best Mel.” Paige applies.
Melissa sighs resigning to this.
“Ok, then we should split up.” “The first one who sees him
hollers.”
They all walk of in different directions. Time lapse Paige’s walking
along the path when a peacock makes a noise & runs past
her.” “It scares her.” “She screams & puts her fists up.” “She
calms herself down & continues walking.”
The Oak Grove
Eric sees the collectors with his dad. He goes towards them.
“Dad!”
But Dr Stone stops him.
“That’s close enough, Eric. I can restore him or kill him. Choice’s
mine.”
“Restore him or you don’t get what you want. That choice’s mine.”
“No, no, no. You can’t bargain, Eric. We’re in control here.”
“Let’s check again.”
He lifts up his shirt where his guns in his trousers.
“Now who’s got the upper hand?”
“Haven’t you been paying attention?” The second Collector
announces. “That gun won’t do anything to us.”
“No but it’ll blow my head off & if I do that you, won’t get the
second half of the map.” “Restore him.”
He holds the gun up to his head & shouts.
“Now!”
The Collector puts his needle finger in Eric’s dad’s head &
restores him.
“Dad?”
“Son?”
He looks shocked when he sees the gun on him.
“Eric, what’re you doing?”
“Dad.”
Eric lowers the gun & starts walking towards him. Dr. Stone
blinks out & reappears behind Eric. He grabs Eric & sticks the
needle finger in his head making him slump to the ground.
“Goodbye Eric.” “Like I said, we’re in control.”
Melissa seeing them aims her gun & shouts.
“Hey!”
The other Collector blinks in behind & sticks his needle finger in
her head before she fires it. Melissa slumps down where she is.
Piper finds them, & blows the Collector up making him fly away a
little & hit the ground. She runs over to Melissa.
“Mel!”
Piper strokes her hair trying to get a response. Paige finds them.
Dr. Stone blinks out & the Collector stands up.
“Piper, watch out.”
“That’s right, witches, come get me.”
Paige hears the Collector say.
“Don’t blink. Keep them focused on me. Let him surprise them
from behind.”
Dr. Stone appears behind Piper with his arm finger extended out.
Paige quickly calls out.
“Behind you”
Turning round Piper freezes the Collector & Dr Stone before he
gets her then steps back.
“Thanks Paige.”
“No problems Piper.” “Now what do we do?”
Piper thinks then replies.
“Orb them together so their fingers touch.”
Paige realises what she means.
“& let them kill each other.” “I get it.” “Their hunger for
knowledge is your ally.”
Placing her hands out sideways Paige, calls for the Collectors.
“Collectors”
& orbs them together so, they both touch. Piper unfreezes them
& their, fingers go inside each other’s heads making them
disappear altogether.
“You know, they really shouldn’t have given, us the finger Piper.”
Paige, smiles.
Piper smiles at her also.
“You read my mind Paige.” “Great job moving by the way”
Paige looks over at Melissa.
“Well I have a good teacher.”
Melissa wakes up dizzyingly. Paige & Piper walk over to her.
“Mom, Aunt Paige?”
“Whoa hey take it easy sweetie.” “You okay?”
“I think so mom.” “I just need to get my bearings.”
She looks around seeing that there in the park.
“Hey what’re we doing in the park?”
Eric & his dad wake up. Melissa sees them.
“& who’re those people?”
“You don’t recognise Eric?” Paige asks.
“No. Why? Should I?”
They help her up.
“What’s the last thing you remember?” Piper says.
“Lucky’s birthday”
“That was three weeks ago sweetie.” Piper smile’s stroking her
hair.
“Oh.”
Paige talks to Eric.
“You alright?”
She helps him up.
“Yeah, I’m fine just a little confused.” “What am I doing here?”
“You don’t recognize her?” Piper points to Melissa.
Eric shakes his head.
“No sorry but I feel I do though.”
“Who’s the cute guy?” Melissa quizzes.
Piper shushes her. Paige helps Ben up. Eric sees him.
“Dad?”
“Eric.”
“Oh my god, you’re better.”
“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
“I don’t know dad.”
Melissa looks a little baffled.
“Did we do something good?”
“You did something incredible.” Piper answers.
Eric & Ben hug each other.
P Three Outside Few Days Later
People standing here are waiting to be let inside whilst bouncers
are checking their bags for anything illegal.
Clubroom
The crowd wait for the entertainment inside which the Bartender
Mitch announces.
“Ladies & gentlemen she’s been away for a while but now P
Three’s proud to announce her triumphant return.” “So please
give it up for Melissa Hale.
Eric & Ben walk downstairs to an empty table.
“You wanna a pint dad?”
“Sure son.”
“Ok then.”
He goes off & does that as the crowd whoop & cheer as Melissa
soulfully launches into “You’re My Favourite Song” on her bass
guitar. (I know Melissa didn’t write that song but for the
purposes of the scene she did.)
Verse One
Words don’t come easy without a melody I’m always thinking in
terms of do-re-mi.
I should be hiking swimming laughing with you instead I’m all
outta, tune.
But what you don’t know you lift me off the ground your
inspiration you help me find my sound.
Just like a baseline in half time you hold down the groove that’s
why I’m counting on you.
Eric hearing her voice turns round captivated by it. Cole’s like
that also just down the end there.
“Whoa she’s good.” Eric says to himself.
The bartender puts down his drinks.
“Here you go.”
Eric takes them over to the table keeping his eye on Melissa the
whole time. The crowd whoosh & sway as Melissa continues
singing.
Chorus
& if I heard you on the radio I’d never wanna change a single
note
It’s what I’m trying to say all along you’re my favourite song.
Leo & Piper are huddled together at a table whilst Paige’s with
Tony.
“Hey that’s the girl we met in the park Eric.” Ben says.
Eric nods his head responding.
“Yeah it is dad.”
“She’s very good son.”
“She is yes.”
Ben sees the twinkle in Eric’s eyes & smiles.
Verse Two
I’m in a session writing tracks you’ve gotta another class to teach
& then rehearsal with the band your always one step outta
reach
I’m looking for some harmony with you we come so naturally
You help me find the right key.
The man beside Melissa joins in now also.
Chorus
& when I hear you on the radio I never wanna change a single
note
It’s when I tried to say all along you’re my favourite song, my
favourite song.
Chorus Repeat
& when I hear you on the radio I never wanna change a single
note oh no, no.
It’s when I tried to say all along you’re my favourite song, you’re
my favourite song.
As the song ends the crowd cheer & the two singers stop. Mitch
the bartender walks onto the stage again.
“Wasn’t she great ladies & gentlemen” “Absolutely,
great” “Please give it up again for Melissa Hale.”
The people clap & cheer again which Melissa acknowledges.
“Thank you very much.”
Cole whoops a little then turns round on his seat & drinks his
beer. The crowd start dissipating as Melissa packs up her stuff.
Paige & Tony go over to Leo & Piper.
“Mel was great weren’t she?”
Piper nods enthusiastically.
“Hell yes.”
“I’m amazed she sang one of her own songs.” Paige says.
“Well I always knew Mel had a secret talent as a songwriter
Paige.” Piper replies.
Tony looks at Paige.
“Hey sweetie, do you wanna drink?”
“Sure yeah” “Get me a soda water.”
“Ok.” He replies walking off.
“Right then what, am I thinking of sis?”
“I’ve no idea Piper.”
“Good spells reversed.” “Which’s a relief” “I think you’ve proven
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that women, aren’t meant to hear
other peoples thoughts.”
Paige nods her head.
“Definitely” “Too much knowledge whether it comes from the
Akashic Records or other peoples heads is just dangerous stuff.”
“Absolutely” “You got the potion?” Piper asks.
Paige nods her head & pulls it outta her handbag slipping it into
Tony’s drink. Leo looks shocked.
“What’re you doing Paige?”
“Making sure Tony’s not a demon Leo.” Piper answers.
“What by killing him?”
Paige shakes her head.
“No the potion will make him cough if he isn’t a demon.” “If he is
it won’t affect him.”
“& then we’ll vanquish him.” Piper says.
“But why don’t just talk to him Paige?”
“Because she has good reason not to Leo” Piper, comments.
Tony comes back & hands the soda water to Paige.
“Here you go Paige.”
“Thanks Tony.”
He picks up his beer & takes a sip. Feeling the potions affects
Tony coughs. Paige pats his back slyly.
“You ok sweetie?”
Putting his drink down Tony, answers.
“I will be yeah” “Don’t know what’s in this drink though.” “I’m
goanna go change it.”
Getting up he takes that over to the bar.
“Well Tony’s not a demon.” Piper, comments.
Paige shakes her head smiling.
“No he isn’t.”
Bar Area
Melissa comes up ready to order a drink. She feels someone tap
her on the shoulder.
“Hi excuse me but um.”
Turning round Melissa sees Eric whom it takes her a few seconds
to recognise.
“You’re Eric Bragg.” She smiles.
“From the park yeah Melissa?” He smiles back.
She nods her head.
“Right” “How’s your father?”
“Good thanks.” “Back to his old self practically.”
“That’s great.”
“What about you?”
Melissa nods her head.
“I’m ok.” “Although the last three weeks are a complete blur but
my cousins did say I banged my head pretty hard so.”
“Yeah that’s what I figured probably happened to me
also.” “Listen you were really great up there.”
“Oh ok.”
“No I mean it.” “You must be an angel having a voice like that.”
“I’m no angel Eric.” Melissa, smiles.
“Well that’s a shame cause’ you’d certainly be a good one.” Eric
smiles back.
He stares at her slightly like he knows Melissa.
“Hey Mel do you have this weird sense of déjà vu like we saw
each other before the park?”
“Yeah” Melissa replies nodding. “But I’m not sure as I don’t really
remember so.” “Maybe we did who knows.”
“Who, knows.” Eric smiles back nodding.
They look at each other for a few seconds before Eric talks.
“Would you like a drink Mel?”
Melissa nods her head.
“Ok thanks.”
Turning round they both wait for someone to come over Piper
smiles looking on at them both.
Clubroom
“What’re you thinking about honey?” Leo asks.
“That Mel met a really nice guy but doesn’t remember him.” Piper
says back.
“Well maybe something might happen & they will do again.”
Paige comments.
Piper nods her head back.
“Maybe yeah”
Bar Area
Cole watches Eric & Melissa talk whilst drinking his beer. Dave a
bartender comes up to him.
“So when you goanna tell her then?”
Cole answers him back baffled.
“Tell who what?”
“Mel, that you love her.” “Cause’ if I were you I’d do it soon.”
Dave looks over at Eric & Melissa then back at Cole.
“Before she goes of with someone else”
He walks away leaving Cole contemplating what to do as the
camera fades to black.
The End.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa Hale who’s my own creation.
Authors Notes: This’s series three of my, Charmed season, which continues a week after “All Hell Breaks Loose”
Note: Hiya folks & welcome to my new season of Charmed. My stories will be different as they were then but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. Everyone who was there will still, be here minus Prue & Phoebe who’re dead of course & some other characters that were introduced will be back this season. I’ll still be using spells from the show & some I create myself which’ll be different but still have the same affect & better sounding. I may, use some stories from season two as episode fillers to outweigh the main storyline going on here or I mayn’t. I’ll see about that when it comes along.
Extra Note: Melissa helps a family out from some warlocks called “Collectors” who want the location of the “Akashic Records” from the son. The two become close much to Cole’s annoyance & Paige casts a mind reading spell fearing that her new boyfriends a demon which has good & bad repercussions.
Episode Six
San Francisco Museum Wednesday Fifth October
A lot of people including Melissa are walking inside looking at the
new exhibition there. A tour guide talks to some person’s about
one of the features shown.
“Legend held buried somewhere near a rocky desert, a fabled
book, penned by ancient mystics, known as the Akashic Records
believed to be a written account of all significant events
throughout time. Powerful stuff especially if someone got their
hands on that, they’d win the lotto or at least get tender. To
know the future brings ultimate power which’s why everyone
from Hera to Hitler looked for the records. But to find them, they
needed a map. This tablet found in the Ivory Coast last years
believed to be that very map. Although the engravings are of a
lost language they’re so far & undecipherable, even for scholars
like myself but we're close. Whoever can decipher them first will
know the exact latitude & longitude of the Akashic Records.
A young dark blonde haired guy standing in front of it writes
something down on his notepad. Another medium tall brown
haired guy’s interested in what the tour guide says also.
“Oh my God, that's it.”
The tour guide & everyone else, looks at the man confused.
“Excuse me?” The tour guide says.
The man looks at the tour guide.
“No, uh, excuse me.”
Turning round he runs down the corridor. The brown haired guy
looks on suspiciously. The young man bumps into Melissa by a,
nearby statute.
“Oh I’m sorry” The man says.
Seeing him she immediately gets a premonition. Melissa sees the
young man pinned down in a park by two men one of them with
their long sharp fang like nails penetrating his skull. Coming
outta the vision she goes after him.
“Hey.”
Running along the corridor she turns left & skates downstairs to
the front entrance & exits the museum onto the street looking for
the man.
San Francisco Street
Scanning her eyes round Melissa doesn’t see him unfortunately.

Manor Lounge
Leo cleaning some windows hears the front door go & turns
round seeing Melissa walk inside.
“Hey sweetie”
Melissa answers not looking at him.
“Sorry dad got an innocent to save.”
She goes over to the stairs & walks up them. Leo comes over to
her.
“Whoa wait what innocent? How was the exhibition?”
Melissa turns round replying back.
“Ok but this guy bumped into me & I got a premonition of him
being pinned down in a park by two demons or warlocks & one of
them killing him with their razor long sharp finger.”
“Do you know who they were?”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No but hopefully the book will.”
“What about him?”
“Once I know about them I’ll go down to the station & see if
Darryl can tell me about him & then me, mum & Aunt Paige can
bring him here & vanquish them before they’ve a chance to hurt
him.”
Turning round she carries on upstairs towards the Attic.
Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
The guy from the museum’s talking to his comatose father in his
room.
“I cracked it, dad the rest of the map. It’s a transposition
sequence just like you said & it's all in here.”
He points to his head.
“The location of the Akashic Records.” “Now, they're goanna
come after me, just like they came after you, but don’t worry dad
I'll be ready for them.”
A doctor walks in.
“Eric, can I speak to you please?”
Eric gets of the bed & goes over to him.
“I'm not moving him, Dr. Stone.”
“Eric, it's been six weeks. This faculty’s not designed for long
term maintenance.”
“Maintenance this’s my father we're talking about.” “He's goanna
get better & he's staying here.”
Veering right Eric walks outta the room leaving Dr Stone angry
before he blinks out.
Police Station
Looking over some case files Darryl hears, someone come up to
him. Glancing up he sighs seeing Melissa standing right in front.
Darryl gets up & moves away from her.
“No way Mel, forget it.” “Whatever you, want I’m not helping
you.”
Melissa follows him to a room.
Archive Room
Coming inside she closes the doors.
“But you don’t even know why I’m here Darryl.”
“I know every time you & your family come there’s always
something witchy going on.”
“Well I can’t help it if evil follows us around.”
“& gets me in trouble in the, process.”
“Which, we try keep you outta of as much as possible.” “& look at how many innocents you’ve helped save because of us like this one if you can identify him.”
She shows him a picture of Eric she drew.
“I got a premonition of him when he bumped into me at the
museum & saw 2 warlocks called Collectors who drain peoples knowledge from them pin him down in a park & one of them
sticking a long razor sharp nail fang inside his head. So I was
wondering if you could input this into your computer database &
come up with a name & address or something.”
Darryl looks flabbergasted at Melissa.
“I can’t just go around giving you people’s name’s & addresses.”
“Please Darryl this man’s life depends on it.” “I can’t let him die.”
Seeing Melissa’s face Darryl sighs.
“Alright then I’ll do it but this can’t come back onto me ok?”
“It won’t I promise.”
Turning round she opens the door up & looks back at Darryl.
“Thanks Darryl.”
Darryl waves his hand at her.
“Yeah, yeah I know.” “Get outta here.” “I’ll call you.”
“Cheers mate.”
Veering round she walks outta the room.
P Three Basement
Piper’s talking & showing a health inspector around here.
“So the rooms well ventilated keeping all our food dry & fresh.
She opens a cupboard showing him this. The inspector ticks a
few boxes on his clipboard.
“& you’re drinks?”
“There delivered round back & stored airtight in here.” “Our cold
drinks are stored in the fridge.”
Piper opens that up.
“Which we record & check the temperature everyday.”
The inspector ticks a few more boxes. Closing the door Piper
leads the inspector up into the main clubroom.
Clubroom
& shows him the bar area.
“We clean & change our beer barrels daily.” “& regularly stock,
check what drinks we’re using each evening & make sure the
pumps work also.
The inspector gets a glass a pours a little bit of Fosters in it
which he sets down on the bar & ticks on his sheet.
“& hygiene wise?”
“The cleaner maintains the toilets & mops the floors.” “& we spray the tables after someone’s being there.”
The inspector touches one of them to see if any dusts on it.
“Including the bar area also” “Plus my staff spray gel their hands
after handling everything.”
The inspector ticks some more boxes.
“What about your stage area?”
“Well that’s.”
Piper’s interrupted when she sees Melissa walking downstairs.
Her face contorts seeing her & so turns round to the inspector.
“Excuse me Mr. Denver it’s my cousin.” “I’ll be right back.”
She walks over & whispers to Melissa.
“What’re you doing here Mel it’s you’re day off.”
Melissa whispers back.
“I know mom but something happened at the museum which we
need to sort out right away.”
Piper looks at the health inspector then back at Melissa.
“I can’t Mel I’m in the middle of a health inspection.”
“But this’s serious mom we’ve an innocent to save.”
“Well get Cole or Paige to help then.”
“We’ll need your freezing power mom.”
“I’m sorry sweetie but I can’t help right now sorry.”
Piper walks back to the inspector. Melissa whispers angrily to her.
“Mom”
Not responding Melissa turns round & walks out the room.
Bay View Cafe
Paige & her boyfriend Tony are sat down at a table as a waitress
comes over with their drinks.
“Here you go guys.”
“Thank you.” Paige says.
She takes a sip from her iced tea. Tony smiles at her when she
does that.
“You’re real cute when you do that.”
Paige stops drinking & moves her head sideways a little whilst
her eyebrows turn upwards as she smiles at the comment on
that.
“Oh am I?” She says.
Tony moves up close to her.
“Absolutely” “Killer dress by the way”
Paige does the same.
“Well I don’t just wear this for anybody.”
“Yeah I know.”
He whispers in her ear as his left hand skims up her right leg.
“I can’t wait to rip it right of you.”
Paige grabs that & pulls it away from her.
“Tony hey we’re in a public café you know.” “There better places
to do that.”
“Why can’t I show my girlfriend affection?”
Paige nods her head.
“Yes but there other ways of doing that.”
“Okay then can I kiss you?” Tony asks.
Paige nods her head again.
“You may do that yes.”
They both kiss as Tony’s cell phone goes off. He pulls away
reluctantly looking whose calling.
“This’s important I’m sorry.”
Getting up he goes away from her. Looking back Paige notices
Melissa sit in the chair opposite.
“Hey Paige sorry to bother to you but I rang your department &
they said you were out here on a lunch time date with Tony.”
Paige nods her head.
“Yeah I am um”
“I know it’s inconvenient but I need your help.”
Paige butts in about something.
“What do you think about guys going off all the time?”
Melissa looks at her confused.
“How do you mean?”
“Well Tony just got a phone call & every time he gets that he
leaves afterwards.”
Melissa looks round at him talking then back at Paige.
“Maybe it’s something important like work or whatever.”
“Tony’s a finance accountant. He only works in one place.”
“Yeah but they do have a lot clients Paige.”
Paige sighs resigning to that answer.
“I suppose yeah.” “What’s it you want?”
“Unfortunately it’s the, you know what kinder thing.”
“Alright then I’ll just tell Tony & meet you afterwards.”
“Thanks, Paige.”
Getting up, Melissa walks of to her Jeep Liberty. Tony comes back
& talks to Paige.
“Sorry Paige but I have to go rain check?”
“That’s alright I’ve got something important also.”
“Sometime later then?”
“Sure yeah”
They get up & kiss. Tony walks off just as Paige subconsciously
thinks something.
“Oh god what if he’s a demon.”
Grabbing her stuff she leaves some money on the table & leaves.
Eric’s Apartment Building
Paige & Melissa are walking down the hallway.
“So who’s this guy then? Paige asks.
“Eric Bragg.” “Darryl gave me his address.”
“I’m surprised he did that.”
“Uh well that’s what you get when you put on the Halliwell
charm.” “Err I can’t believe Piper’s not with us.”
“Well you said she had a health inspection.” “That’s important.”
“So’s this.” “It’s not as if that’s a matter of life & death.”
“No but if the club got shut down because she wasn’t, there then
you wouldn’t have the house or money to do this & you wouldn’t
have a job.”
“Well we own the house outright so that doesn’t matter & she
could’ve rescheduled.”
“You can’t reschedule health inspections Mel.”
“& you can’t put a man’s life against that Paige.”
Paige whispers this time.
“Yeah but Piper doesn’t get premonitions like you Mel so she
don’t feel or understand as much & she can’t be in two places at once either.” “Besides you said these Collectors whatever don’t
need the power of three to vanquish them.”
Melissa whispers back.
“No, I said their hunger for knowledge is your ally which don’t necessary mean we do need the power of three or not.”
“Well then we’ll just have to figure that out & save Eric first.”
Seeing a door marked five D Paige points to it.
“Is this where he lives?”
Melissa looks at the piece of paper.
“Yeah it is.”
They hear scuffling inside & look at each other.
“Come on.” Melissa replies.
Eric’s Apartment
Opening the door up Paige & Melissa walk in seeing the two
Collectors one been Dr Stone holding Eric down on the table. Dr
Stone’s finger turns into a needle. Melissa shouts at them.
“Hey.”
They both look up at her. She kicks Dr Stone with the needle in
the face making him loose his grip & back away in pain.
“AH!”
Eric falls, flat on the floor. The other backs away & comes
towards them.
“Paige.” Melissa says.
Paige orbs out then back in, in panic when the Collector tries to
grab her & they both grabble together. Melissa trades blows with
Dr Stone who does his best to block them. The second Collector
extends his finger & goes to insert it inside Paige’s brain. Paige
shouts out.
“MEL!”
Swinging round she kicks the Collector in the stomach stopping
him do that.
“AH!”
He backs away a little. Melissa gets two potions out from her bag
ready to throw them but Eric gets up.
“Get back.”
Going inside his drawer he pulls a gun out & shoots them both
not having much affect. Paige looks on shocked.
“Oh my God”
The Collectors stand back up with their wounds healed.
“Let’s get outta here.” “Come on.” Melissa says.
They run outside leaving the Collectors wondering what
happened.
Hallway
Eric, Melissa & Paige walk in seeing Cole & Leo there.
“Hey guys, is this.”
“Eric yes.” Melissa says. “Could you take him into the kitchen for
us?”
“Sure yeah” Cole says.
The three men walk straight ahead.
“Hey why don’t you join them Mel & I’ll go upstairs & see if
there’s anything we’ve missed, out”
Melissa nods her head.
“Ok then.”
Turning right Melissa walks towards the kitchen as Paige goes
upstairs.
Attic
Paige’s flipping through the book when she comes across the
hearing thoughts spell one. She reads out aloud.
“To hear someone thoughts when you want to know or think
there hiding something.” “Um this could tell me if Tony’s a demon
or not.” “To cast this spell light one blue candle & say these
words.” “Ok then.”
Going over to the trunk she opens it up.
“Lock.”
The lock opens into her hand. Paige delves inside & gets out one
blue candle & some matches which she puts on a table & lights
up. She then goes back to the book.
“Here goes.” “AS FLAME LIGHTS SHADOW AS TRUTH ENDS FEAR,
OPEN LOCKED THOUGHTS TO MY MINDS WILLING EAR, MAY THE
SMOKE THESE CANDLES INTO EVERYWHERE CREEP, BRING INNER
MOST VOICE TO MY MIND IN SPEECH.”
The candle flickers then goes out letting smoke rise from it. Paige
goes over & gets it.
“Let’s hope it’s worked.”
Kitchen
Everyone else’s talking in the kitchen.
“They’re the one’s who put my father in the hospital. They took
his mind.”
“Who’re they?” Leo asks.
“Dr Stone, my father’s doctor & his colleague.”
“& what do you think they are?” Melissa says.
Coming in Paige hears what Eric’s thinking.
“NCA, CIA, who knows?” (Out Loud) “Somebody in bullet proof,
vests.” “The question is- who are you?
“Friends” Melissa adds.
Eric thinks which Paige hears again.
“Yeah right” “They’re after the Akashic Records too.”
“What’re the Akashic Records?” Paige replies.
Her eyes go wide in shock when she realises what just
happened.
"I knew it.” Eric comments.
The others looked confused at her.
“Whoa what did you just say Paige?” Cole questions. “How do
you know about that?”
Paige tries covering her tracks quickly.
“Lucky guess” “So what’re they Eric?”
“They’re a book of ancient prophecies.” “The future of the world
right down to the smallest detail hidden & lost away for
centuries” But it’s just legend.” Leo replies.
Eric looks at Leo wondering how he knew that.
“How do you know that?”
Melissa quickly thinks up a lie.
“Oh Leo saw the exhibit about it at the museum a few days
ago.”
“Yeah Mel’s right.” Leo pretends to agree.
“Well obviously these people want those records because they
know Eric knows how to find them. Paige comments.
Eric speaks out confused at how everyone knows about it.
“Ok who’re you people?”
“People who can help you, Eric” Cole replies.
Melissa puts her hand over her mouth.
“Oh my god if that’s, true then these records are real which
means.”
“If the bad guys get them there’ll be no more humans & they’ll
win.” Leo adds worried. “I’d better warn my bosses.”
Leo turns round & walks outta the room. Eric gets up from his
chair & starts to walks off to.
“I gotta get my father outta the hospital.”
Melissa tries to stop him.
“No Eric, wait.”
He looks at Melissa.
“He’s stuck in there Mel & Dr. Stone’s in on it.”
“Eric, it’s not about your father anymore. It’s about you.
Especially if they know you know how to find the Akashic
Records.” Paige says.
“Paige’s right.” Melissa proclaims. “They’ll use your father to get
to you.” “You can’t go there.”
Eric comes up to her seriously.
“Oh yeah try & stop me.”
Melissa grabs his arm & flips him over making him land backward
on the floor. She sits on top of him.
“How about this then?” Melissa smiles at him.
“Ah you’re strong.” Eric smiles back.
“I work out a lot.” Melissa says back.
Cole looks on jealous at their quick connection. Piper walks in.
“Okay Mel I’m sorry about earlier but.”
She notices Eric on the floor.
“Whoa who’s the cutie?”
Eric tries getting off Melissa.
“Um Piper maybe you could a little help there?” Paige replies.
Piper freezes Eric.
“So who is he then?”
Paige chips in.
“Oh he’s the hottie Mel likes.”
Melissa looks at her shocked.
“Huh?” “How do you know? Piper asks.
Melissa quickly pips in.
“Excuse me Aunt Paige I don’t like him that way ok this’s Eric
Bragg the guy who bumped into me at the museum.” “Two
warlocks called Collectors wants what’s in his brain the location
of the Akashic Records.”
She gets off Eric.
“Which’s a lost text that predicts all future events” “Collectors
get it, the worlds a goner.” Cole confirms.
“Leo went upstairs to tell the Elders.” Paige says.
“Ok how do we vanquish them?”
Melissa snorts at Piper.
“Huh now you wanna know.”
“I’m sorry sweetie but a health, inspections important & a legal
requirement.
“So’s your other job especially when a man’s life’s at stake.”
“Eric’s here now so he’s ok”
“He mightn’t, been if me & Aunt Paige hadn’t won.”
“I, came after you called.”
“Which I shouldn’t have had to, do mom.”
Cole butts in.
“Guys you need to focus on Eric here ok & not argue.”
“Right we need to get Eric’s father outta the hospital.” Paige
says.
Piper looks at Paige.
“Does Eric know who we are & about demons & warlocks?”
“No, he thinks it’s a government conspiracy.” Melissa answers.
“Right then you need to get back on top of him.”
Melissa looks slyly at Paige.
“I don’t mean in that way.” “& we need to go to the hospital.”
“Whose goanna stay with Eric?” Cole asks.
Melissa replies after going back into her position.
“I will you three are more powerful.” “I’ll stay here & try figure
out what the message in the book means.”
“Ok then we’ll call you when we’re done.” Piper pitches.
Cole & the girls walk towards the kitchen door. Melissa turns
round to them.
“Hey mom, could you?”
Piper unfreezes Eric as the lot of them leave. Melissa smiles back
down at Eric.
“Now, are you goanna behave?”
“Do I have a choice?” Eric replies smiling up at her.
“Not really.” Melissa comments. “Come on.”
She pulls him up from the floor.
Outside The Museum
Dr Stone’s there. The other, Collector walks up to him.
“Did you find Eric?”
“No.” “The women who took him are obviously protecting him.”
“The Akashic Records are within our reach.”
“We’ll need to be more careful especially if there’s, anymore
witches.” “& its goanna be difficult to drain his brain if they know
what we’re after.
“Don’t worry my friend.” “The way to a man’s mind’s through his
heart.”
“Oh, very nice”
Dr. Stone blinks out & the other disappears afterwards.
Sunroom
Eric’s sitting at a table. Melissa brings out some tea & pours it in
two cups.
“Hope you like tea although I’m more of a coffee girl myself but I don’t mind this now & again.”
Eric shakes his head.
“No tea’s fine, thank you.”
He gets outta the seat.
“Hey how did you know to be at my apartment to help me?”
Melissa turns to leave but Eric stops her.
“Uh, it’s a long story.”
“Shorten it.”
“Well without going into too much detail, I sorter have, a gift
where I know things are goanna happen before they do.
“Whaddya mean like clairvoyance or something?”
“Like I said I can’t say too much.”
“Why not?”
Looking off in the distance Melissa thinks about Prue & Phoebe &
almost nearly cries but doesn’t.
“Because I’ve seen what happens when the wrong people know
about your secret.”
Seeing her reaction Eric stops pressuring her.
“So you don’t, work for some government agency?
He & Melissa sit down. She shakes her head smiling.
“No, I’m just a girl who works in a night club although today was
my day off but.”
“Oh I’m sorry if I’ve ruined your day.”
“Don’t worry I’m used to it.” “Now, let me ask you a
question.” “This thing, you did translating this ancient code
whatever. Why did you do it?”
“For my father”
“To, finish his work?”
“People hurt him & I wanna find out whom & I wanna get even.”
“Even, with the risk of them hurting you?”
“He’s my dad. I love him & if I can’t have him back, I want justice.”
Melissa drinks some of her tea.
“I understand that.”
Eric takes a sip also.
“Really?” “You & you’re folks close then?”
“My real parents died when I was born so I was adopted but
there dead now also.”
Eric looks shocked hearing that.
“God Mel I’m so sorry.”
Melissa shakes her head.
“It’s alright Eric I’ve had a long time to get over it.” “But when
they were alive we were real close yeah & my brother Ryan
also.” “Anyway I’ve got my cousins & my uncle now so I’m not
totally alone.”
“No you’re not.”
They both stare at each other for a few seconds.
“Whoa look at me I’m a sucker for families.”
“Then you can see why I have to go the hospital Mel.” “If
something happened to my father & I wasn’t there to help I’d
never forgive myself.”
Seeing the look on his face Melissa weakens a little.
“Alright then follow me.”
Getting up they go over to get her stuff then walk out the front
door as Melissa sets the alarm on.
San Francisco Streets
Eric, Melissa, Cole, Paige & Piper are walking up to the hospital.
Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
They enter the front door & find the place’s deserted. The phone
rings at the reception desk.
“Where is everybody? Piper asks.
“& why’s the place deserted?” Paige questions.
“Something must be up.” Cole says. ”I’ll go down the hallway &
check it out.”
Melissa nods her head.
“Alright Cole”
Cole walks of along the corridor. Melissa gets her gun out &
points it ahead. Eric goes in front of her but Melissa stops him.
“Stay here Eric.”
Moving cautiously over to the desk Melissa peers round holding
her gun still. Seeing the receptionist lying on the floor Melissa
puts that down then bends over & feels her neck. Eric sees this.
Melissa calls out.
“She’s alive but comatose.”
“Comatose? How?” Paige asks.
“Obviously when the warlocks drain someone’s knowledge they
drain their essence also leaving them vegetative.
“Just like my dad.” Eric declares worried.
Turning round he runs down the hallway.
“Eric, wait.” Melissa replies worried following him.
“The Collectors are in Eric’s father’s room”
Piper looks at Paige.
“Okay what’s going on Paige?”
Paige tries lying to her.
“Whaddya mean Piper?”
“You know what I mean Paige first in the house now here.” “How do you know the Collectors are in Eric’s father’s room?” “PAIGE!”
“Alright I cast a mind reading spell.”
Piper can’t believe what she’s said.
“You what?”
“I wanna know if my boyfriend Tony’s a demon because every
time he gets a phone call he up & leaves which’s why I cast the
spell to make sure if that’s true or not.”
“Paige you don’t cast a spell to see if someone’s a demon you
shove a potion down their throat.” “If they cough then there not
a demon”
Paige’s shocked hearing that?
“You shove a potion down them?”
“Yes Paige” “God didn’t switching bodies with Mel teach you
anything about impromptu spell casting & all those other spells
you cast which made your boobs grow big.”
“I’m sorry Piper I just saw it &.”
“You can’t use spells to solve all your problems Paige especially
this one which’s private & intruding on our thoughts.”
“I won’t do it again I promise I’m sorry.”
Piper sighs.
“We’ll fix this later come on.”
They follow down where Melissa & Eric just went. Cole comes,
outta a room where someone’s comatose also.
Hallway
“Where’re they Cole?” Melissa asks.
“There not in this room.”
Eric goes past them into his dad’s room.
“Eric.” Melissa says.
They both follow him.
Eric’s Dad’s Room
He goes over to his dad’s bed.
“Dad, we gotta get you outta here.”
The rest enter the room.
“Eric.” Melissa, queries.
“I’m getting him outta here, Mel.”
Dr. Stone & the collector blink in the room. Piper attempts to blow
one of them but they put there arm in the way which reforms
afterwards.
“Oh my god” Paige announces shocked.
The two collectors blink out.
“What the hell?” Eric replies stunned also. “Where’d they go?”
“Be careful there still here.” Cole says conjuring up an energy
ball.
“Alright let’s get him outta here.” Piper declares.
“I’ll go get a chair.” Paige says walking out the room to find a
wheelchair.
Piper & Melissa go over to Eric’s father. But find Dr Stone there
with Melissa’s gun pointed at Eric’s dad’s head.
“Dad”
“He’s got my gun.”
Hallway
Hearing this Paige runs back into the room with a wheelchair
seeing this & the other Collector appearing behind Eric &
grabbing him.
“Eric.” Melissa replies worried.
Cole goes to throw his energy ball but Dr Stone stops him.
“Uh, uh throw it & he dies.”
Paige calls for Eric’s dad.
“Eric’s dad”
& orbs him into the, wheelchair. Melissa grabs a vase of flowers
& hits the Collector over the head. He lets go of Eric & falls to the
ground. Dr. Stone blinks in beside Paige & throws her away from
Eric’s dad.
“Ah!” She says falling to the ground.
Melissa aims her gun at them but the Collectors hold onto Eric’s
dad & blink outta the room. Eric looks on worried.
“Dad?”
“I’ll go after them.” Cole states.
He shimmers out.
“Cole.” Melissa cries out.
Outside Bay Ridge Convalescent Hospital
Eric’s running downstairs. Melissa, Paige & Piper are chasing him.
“Eric! Eric, we still wanna help you. Nothing’s changed.” Melissa
replies.
Eric stops running.
“Everything’s changed Melissa. Some monsters just took my dad.”
“They’re called warlocks Eric.” She answers back.
“Warlocks? & what’s that’s make the three of you?”
“Witches” Paige says. “We fight evil & protect people.”
“Forgive me, for saying so but that’s insane.”
“Eric, you believe in the Akashic Records & all the power they
represent.” Piper, comments.
“I guess.”
“Well, most people think that’s myth.” She feeds back.
“But now you know it isn’t, so isn’t it possible that other things
like witches & warlocks also exist? Melissa says.
“Okay but who was that other person then?” “Is he one of them
to?”
Piper shakes her head.
“No Cole’s half demon but he’s good.” “He won’t hurt you.”
“So why do warlocks want my dad then?”
“They’re probably wanna trade. Your dad for what’s in your
head.” Melissa answers.
“& they can appear anytime, any place, which’s why we need to
get you back to the manor where you’ll be safer than anywhere
else.” Piper notifies.
“Look, Eric I know we don’t know each other but everything I
said in the Sunrooms true except you know about our secret now
also.” Melissa comments.
“It’s one hell of a secret.” He answers back.
“Which, I trust you with. So please, trust me in return.” “Now if
we’re goanna save your father, we have to keep you safe until
we figure out what we’re goanna do.”
Eric ignores that.
You do that. I’ve another idea.
He walks off. Melissa shouts out.
“Eric.” “Great.” “I’ll go after him you two get, home.”
She runs after him. Paige sighs frustrated a little.
“Do we have to protect him? Cause he’s pissing me off.”
“Unfortunately, yes.” Piper replies back.
They walk off towards Piper’s Jeep Cherokee.
San Francisco Museum
Eric’s getting a fire extinguisher. Melissa steps in front of him.
“What’re you doing Eric?”
“You’ll see.”
“Eric stop you’ll get arrested.”
He looks at her.
“I don’t care Mel.” “I have to do this.”
He side steps her & walks out into the museum room. Melissa
follows him.
“We shouldn’t be out in the open like this. It’s not safe.”
“Then go you don’t have to be here.”
“& let you get busted?”
They walk right up to the map stone. Melissa studies it.
“Wow, that’s the map stone isn’t it?”
“You know, my father thought it’d be wonderful translating it.” “A
gift of knowledge to, usher the world into the new millennium.”
He gets ready to break the glass but Melissa stops him.
“Whoa, wait. What’re you doing?”
Eric looks at her.
“If the Akashic Records are everything you say they are, they’re
not a gift. The warlocks shouldn’t have that knowledge & neither
should the rest of us. With all the knowledge revealed, we’d
have no free will.”
Melissa stares at the tablet.
“& no world as, we know it.”
“Maybe no world at all”
Eric smashes the glass cabinet with the fire extinguisher. The
alarm goes off. He gets the map stone out & throws it on the
ground destroying it. Everyone stands there shocked.
“Now no one else will ever be able to translate the map. The only
place the longitude’s in my head.”
The two of them run off. A member of the public speaks.
“I’ll get security.”
Upstairs
Paige & Piper are walking up here.
“Poor Eric”
“He’ll be okay, we’ll figure this out.”
“But in the meantime the warlocks have his father I can’t imagine
how helpless he feels.”
Paige nods her in agreement.
“Yeah I know.”
Attic
They walk in over to the book. Leo orbs in.
“Leo you’ve been gone hours.” Piper announces.
“Yeah sorry guys but the Elders were deliberating”
“Well while that’s happened we’ve been doing.” She says back.
Leo looks confused at them.
“Whaddya mean?”
“We went to the hospital to get Eric’s dad but the Collectors took
him. Cole followed them but we haven’t heard from him yet.”
“Where’s Mel?”
“She called saying her & Eric went to the museum & destroyed
the Akashic map so he’s the only person who knows where the
records are.”
“Well you have to get him back Piper.” “Eric must be
protected.” “The Collectors can’t get what information’s inside his
head.”
“He is coming back Leo.” “Mel’s driving them.” Piper insists.
“Okay, have you figured out what to do?”
“The only way to protect Eric’s to take the information outta his
brain forever. The spell’s right here.”
“Yeah but if we do that Eric, won’t have anything to offer the
warlocks & they’ll be furious & kill his dad.” Paige quizzes.
“Eric’s innocent. Our priority’s him.” Piper answers looking at,
Paige.
“They’re both innocent Piper.” “We have to save them.” “I mean,
there’s gotta be another way with all the hocus pocus we have.
“That still may not be enough though.” “You’re talking about the
future, everyone’s future.” Leo replies.
“So we have to sacrifice Eric’s dad for the greater food?” Paige
asks frustrated.
Leo nods his head serenely.
“Maybe, yes.”
“Man, dress it up anyway you want, it stinks.”
Cole shimmers in.
“Hey Cole did you find Eric’s father?” Paige, queries.
He shakes his head.
“No sorry.” “Every time I shimmered they blinked out.” “They’ve
probably stashed him something we can’t find him until they
make contact with Eric.”
They all hear Melissa’s Jeep Liberty pull up in the driveway.
“Oh here they are now.” Piper says.
“Uh we’ll have to tell her.” Paige replies.
Cole looks at that little baffled.
“Tell Mel what?”
Piper hangs her head down a little.
“That, we may’ve to sacrifice Eric’s dad.”
“Yeah so?” Cole answers back.
“So I think she likes Eric even though she said she wouldn’t go
with anyone until we’ve vanquished the Source.” Piper bites,
back sighing.
“Come on.” Paige says.
The gang walk downstairs.
Hallway
Stopping there Eric talks to them.
“Have the warlocks made contact yet?”
“Uh not yet no” Piper, answers.
“Did you guys find anything in the book?” Melissa quizzes.
“You tell her.” Paige declares.
“We’ll both tell her.” Piper says back. “Uh, why don’t you check
your messages at home Eric.” “Maybe they’ve tried to contact
you there.”
“Alright”
He goes of into the Lounge.
“Okay what’s going on?” Melissa asks.
“Can we talk sweetie?” Piper says.
Lounge
Eric’s checking his messages with the operator.
“You have no new messages.”
Kitchen
“Wait, you’re willing to let Eric’s father die?” Melissa says angrily.
“Mel we can’t risk losing Eric & allow the warlocks to gain future
knowledge.”
“But we have to try & save his dad also mom.”
“Not at the expense of the whole world we can’t sweetie.” We have to save everyone’s dad & protect them from these warlocks but we can’t do that if they have the records.
“Mel you need to tell Eric that we might’ve to sacrifice his father
for the greater good”
Melissa raises her voice a little.
“I know Aunt Paige but how do think he’s goanna feel when I tell
him that after I promised we’d save him.”
She starts to leave.
“Sweetie” Piper says.
“You don’t even care.”
She turns around.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. I don’t even know why I said it.”
Paige looks at her mournfully
“Do you want us to tell him?”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No, I’ll do it.
Lounge
Eric’s cell phone rings. He answers it.
“Hello?”
Dr Stone answers.
“Eric, I assume you know who this is?”
“Where’s my father?”
“Oh, so you do know. Good.”
The Oak Grove Golden Gate Park
Eric’s dad’s in the wheelchair there. Dr Stone extends a finger
inside his head waking him up. Feeling a little dizzy Ben checks
his surrounding’s.
“Say hello to Eric, Ben.”
He puts the phone up to Ben’s ear.
“Son?”
Lounge
“Dad?”
Golden Gate Park
“I feel so odd.”
Lounge
“Dad.”
Golden Gate Park
Dr Stone puts his needle finger in Ben’s head.
“Oh, he’s gone, Eric. But I can bring him back & give him to you.
All I want in exchange’s what’s in your head.”
Lounge
“Where can I find you?”
Golden Gate Park
“The Oak Grove West End of Golden Gate Park,” “Half an
hour” “Alone without the demon or witches.”
Lounge
Melissa walks in.
“Eric?”
He hangs up.
“Any messages?”
“No, not yet”
Melissa comes up to him.
“Eric”
He puts his right hand on her mouth.
“Before you say another word, Mel I wanna thank you for
everything you’ve done trying to save my father.” “You’re not an
angel are you?”
Melissa freezes at that a little but soon recovers.
“No, I’m no angel.”
“That’s a shame.” “You’d certainly be a good one.” “It’s sad your
family died.” They’d be so proud of you if they were still here.”
Melissa lies slightly.
“Oh I’m sure in there own way they know that.” Eric um I-I need
to talk to you about your father.
“Ok.” “Maybe we should have another cup of tea first.”
“Sure I’ll just go get that.”
“Thanks.”
Melissa turns to leave but Eric stops her.
“Hey Mel”
She turns back.
“Yes Eric?”
Leaning forward he kisses her softly on the lips as if it’s the only
time he’ll ever will. Responding back Melissa lightly touches his
neck with her right hand. Caught up in the moment they don’t
notice Cole watching them until he coughs alerting them he’s
there. Pulling away they both smile at each other then Melissa
walks into the kitchen. Eric starts walking towards the front door
but Cole stops him.
Hallway
“Where you going Eric?”
Paige & Piper come up to him.
“Oh, I’m just goanna go out & get some fresh air.”
Paige hears him think.
“The Oak Grove, Golden Gate Park”
“Mel!” Paige shouts.
“Paige what is it?” Piper asks
Eric leaves. Melissa comes in.
“Where’s Eric going guys?” Melissa questions.
“The Oak Grove, Golden Gate Park” Paige says.
“Oh no, the warlocks must’ve contacted him. Let’s go come on”
Melissa puts the teabags down & grabs her bags & coats & goes
outta the door. The others except Cole follow her.
Golden Gate Park
Melissa drives fast down the pathway & stops her car right round
the end. The girls all get out before Melissa locks the doors.
“Ok, there oak trees everywhere” Piper frustratingly states.
Paige hears Melissa think.
“What if we’re too late?”
“Mel, stop thinking that will you” “God I can’t wait for all this to
end.”
“Hey will you get outta my head please?” Melissa answers back.
“Alright, the Book of Shadows said that their hunger is our ally,
so there must be a way to use the knowledge they require
against them.” Piper says.
“Or use their greed to trap them.” Paige adds.
“Yeah, well, if all else fails, then I’ll try freeze, them then Paige
can move them, long along for Eric to get away.”
“& save his father right?”
“We’ll do our best Mel.” Paige applies.
Melissa sighs resigning to this.
“Ok, then we should split up.” “The first one who sees him
hollers.”
They all walk of in different directions. Time lapse Paige’s walking
along the path when a peacock makes a noise & runs past
her.” “It scares her.” “She screams & puts her fists up.” “She
calms herself down & continues walking.”
The Oak Grove
Eric sees the collectors with his dad. He goes towards them.
“Dad!”
But Dr Stone stops him.
“That’s close enough, Eric. I can restore him or kill him. Choice’s
mine.”
“Restore him or you don’t get what you want. That choice’s mine.”
“No, no, no. You can’t bargain, Eric. We’re in control here.”
“Let’s check again.”
He lifts up his shirt where his guns in his trousers.
“Now who’s got the upper hand?”
“Haven’t you been paying attention?” The second Collector
announces. “That gun won’t do anything to us.”
“No but it’ll blow my head off & if I do that you, won’t get the
second half of the map.” “Restore him.”
He holds the gun up to his head & shouts.
“Now!”
The Collector puts his needle finger in Eric’s dad’s head &
restores him.
“Dad?”
“Son?”
He looks shocked when he sees the gun on him.
“Eric, what’re you doing?”
“Dad.”
Eric lowers the gun & starts walking towards him. Dr. Stone
blinks out & reappears behind Eric. He grabs Eric & sticks the
needle finger in his head making him slump to the ground.
“Goodbye Eric.” “Like I said, we’re in control.”
Melissa seeing them aims her gun & shouts.
“Hey!”
The other Collector blinks in behind & sticks his needle finger in
her head before she fires it. Melissa slumps down where she is.
Piper finds them, & blows the Collector up making him fly away a
little & hit the ground. She runs over to Melissa.
“Mel!”
Piper strokes her hair trying to get a response. Paige finds them.
Dr. Stone blinks out & the Collector stands up.
“Piper, watch out.”
“That’s right, witches, come get me.”
Paige hears the Collector say.
“Don’t blink. Keep them focused on me. Let him surprise them
from behind.”
Dr. Stone appears behind Piper with his arm finger extended out.
Paige quickly calls out.
“Behind you”
Turning round Piper freezes the Collector & Dr Stone before he
gets her then steps back.
“Thanks Paige.”
“No problems Piper.” “Now what do we do?”
Piper thinks then replies.
“Orb them together so their fingers touch.”
Paige realises what she means.
“& let them kill each other.” “I get it.” “Their hunger for
knowledge is your ally.”
Placing her hands out sideways Paige, calls for the Collectors.
“Collectors”
& orbs them together so, they both touch. Piper unfreezes them
& their, fingers go inside each other’s heads making them
disappear altogether.
“You know, they really shouldn’t have given, us the finger Piper.”
Paige, smiles.
Piper smiles at her also.
“You read my mind Paige.” “Great job moving by the way”
Paige looks over at Melissa.
“Well I have a good teacher.”
Melissa wakes up dizzyingly. Paige & Piper walk over to her.
“Mom, Aunt Paige?”
“Whoa hey take it easy sweetie.” “You okay?”
“I think so mom.” “I just need to get my bearings.”
She looks around seeing that there in the park.
“Hey what’re we doing in the park?”
Eric & his dad wake up. Melissa sees them.
“& who’re those people?”
“You don’t recognise Eric?” Paige asks.
“No. Why? Should I?”
They help her up.
“What’s the last thing you remember?” Piper says.
“Lucky’s birthday”
“That was three weeks ago sweetie.” Piper smile’s stroking her
hair.
“Oh.”
Paige talks to Eric.
“You alright?”
She helps him up.
“Yeah, I’m fine just a little confused.” “What am I doing here?”
“You don’t recognize her?” Piper points to Melissa.
Eric shakes his head.
“No sorry but I feel I do though.”
“Who’s the cute guy?” Melissa quizzes.
Piper shushes her. Paige helps Ben up. Eric sees him.
“Dad?”
“Eric.”
“Oh my god, you’re better.”
“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
“I don’t know dad.”
Melissa looks a little baffled.
“Did we do something good?”
“You did something incredible.” Piper answers.
Eric & Ben hug each other.
P Three Outside Few Days Later
People standing here are waiting to be let inside whilst bouncers
are checking their bags for anything illegal.
Clubroom
The crowd wait for the entertainment inside which the Bartender
Mitch announces.
“Ladies & gentlemen she’s been away for a while but now P
Three’s proud to announce her triumphant return.” “So please
give it up for Melissa Hale.
Eric & Ben walk downstairs to an empty table.
“You wanna a pint dad?”
“Sure son.”
“Ok then.”
He goes off & does that as the crowd whoop & cheer as Melissa
soulfully launches into “You’re My Favourite Song” on her bass
guitar. (I know Melissa didn’t write that song but for the
purposes of the scene she did.)
Verse One
Words don’t come easy without a melody I’m always thinking in
terms of do-re-mi.
I should be hiking swimming laughing with you instead I’m all
outta, tune.
But what you don’t know you lift me off the ground your
inspiration you help me find my sound.
Just like a baseline in half time you hold down the groove that’s
why I’m counting on you.
Eric hearing her voice turns round captivated by it. Cole’s like
that also just down the end there.
“Whoa she’s good.” Eric says to himself.
The bartender puts down his drinks.
“Here you go.”
Eric takes them over to the table keeping his eye on Melissa the
whole time. The crowd whoosh & sway as Melissa continues
singing.
Chorus
& if I heard you on the radio I’d never wanna change a single
note
It’s what I’m trying to say all along you’re my favourite song.
Leo & Piper are huddled together at a table whilst Paige’s with
Tony.
“Hey that’s the girl we met in the park Eric.” Ben says.
Eric nods his head responding.
“Yeah it is dad.”
“She’s very good son.”
“She is yes.”
Ben sees the twinkle in Eric’s eyes & smiles.
Verse Two
I’m in a session writing tracks you’ve gotta another class to teach
& then rehearsal with the band your always one step outta
reach
I’m looking for some harmony with you we come so naturally
You help me find the right key.
The man beside Melissa joins in now also.
Chorus
& when I hear you on the radio I never wanna change a single
note
It’s when I tried to say all along you’re my favourite song, my
favourite song.
Chorus Repeat
& when I hear you on the radio I never wanna change a single
note oh no, no.
It’s when I tried to say all along you’re my favourite song, you’re
my favourite song.
As the song ends the crowd cheer & the two singers stop. Mitch
the bartender walks onto the stage again.
“Wasn’t she great ladies & gentlemen” “Absolutely,
great” “Please give it up again for Melissa Hale.”
The people clap & cheer again which Melissa acknowledges.
“Thank you very much.”
Cole whoops a little then turns round on his seat & drinks his
beer. The crowd start dissipating as Melissa packs up her stuff.
Paige & Tony go over to Leo & Piper.
“Mel was great weren’t she?”
Piper nods enthusiastically.
“Hell yes.”
“I’m amazed she sang one of her own songs.” Paige says.
“Well I always knew Mel had a secret talent as a songwriter
Paige.” Piper replies.
Tony looks at Paige.
“Hey sweetie, do you wanna drink?”
“Sure yeah” “Get me a soda water.”
“Ok.” He replies walking off.
“Right then what, am I thinking of sis?”
“I’ve no idea Piper.”
“Good spells reversed.” “Which’s a relief” “I think you’ve proven
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that women, aren’t meant to hear
other peoples thoughts.”
Paige nods her head.
“Definitely” “Too much knowledge whether it comes from the
Akashic Records or other peoples heads is just dangerous stuff.”
“Absolutely” “You got the potion?” Piper asks.
Paige nods her head & pulls it outta her handbag slipping it into
Tony’s drink. Leo looks shocked.
“What’re you doing Paige?”
“Making sure Tony’s not a demon Leo.” Piper answers.
“What by killing him?”
Paige shakes her head.
“No the potion will make him cough if he isn’t a demon.” “If he is
it won’t affect him.”
“& then we’ll vanquish him.” Piper says.
“But why don’t just talk to him Paige?”
“Because she has good reason not to Leo” Piper, comments.
Tony comes back & hands the soda water to Paige.
“Here you go Paige.”
“Thanks Tony.”
He picks up his beer & takes a sip. Feeling the potions affects
Tony coughs. Paige pats his back slyly.
“You ok sweetie?”
Putting his drink down Tony, answers.
“I will be yeah” “Don’t know what’s in this drink though.” “I’m
goanna go change it.”
Getting up he takes that over to the bar.
“Well Tony’s not a demon.” Piper, comments.
Paige shakes her head smiling.
“No he isn’t.”
Bar Area
Melissa comes up ready to order a drink. She feels someone tap
her on the shoulder.
“Hi excuse me but um.”
Turning round Melissa sees Eric whom it takes her a few seconds
to recognise.
“You’re Eric Bragg.” She smiles.
“From the park yeah Melissa?” He smiles back.
She nods her head.
“Right” “How’s your father?”
“Good thanks.” “Back to his old self practically.”
“That’s great.”
“What about you?”
Melissa nods her head.
“I’m ok.” “Although the last three weeks are a complete blur but
my cousins did say I banged my head pretty hard so.”
“Yeah that’s what I figured probably happened to me
also.” “Listen you were really great up there.”
“Oh ok.”
“No I mean it.” “You must be an angel having a voice like that.”
“I’m no angel Eric.” Melissa, smiles.
“Well that’s a shame cause’ you’d certainly be a good one.” Eric
smiles back.
He stares at her slightly like he knows Melissa.
“Hey Mel do you have this weird sense of déjà vu like we saw
each other before the park?”
“Yeah” Melissa replies nodding. “But I’m not sure as I don’t really
remember so.” “Maybe we did who knows.”
“Who, knows.” Eric smiles back nodding.
They look at each other for a few seconds before Eric talks.
“Would you like a drink Mel?”
Melissa nods her head.
“Ok thanks.”
Turning round they both wait for someone to come over Piper
smiles looking on at them both.
Clubroom
“What’re you thinking about honey?” Leo asks.
“That Mel met a really nice guy but doesn’t remember him.” Piper
says back.
“Well maybe something might happen & they will do again.”
Paige comments.
Piper nods her head back.
“Maybe yeah”
Bar Area
Cole watches Eric & Melissa talk whilst drinking his beer. Dave a
bartender comes up to him.
“So when you goanna tell her then?”
Cole answers him back baffled.
“Tell who what?”
“Mel, that you love her.” “Cause’ if I were you I’d do it soon.”
Dave looks over at Eric & Melissa then back at Cole.
“Before she goes of with someone else”
He walks away leaving Cole contemplating what to do as the
camera fades to black.
The End.
