Hell Hath No Fury
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: Episode three sees Piper on a demon rampage & her powers going wonky which land her in
trouble when she's turned into a Fury after been attacked by some of them leaving Paige, Cole & Melissa
to save her. Paige steals the Book Of Shadows & uses it on some of her work colleagues, Cole & Melissa
grow closer together & Melissa becomes Paige's white lighter trainer when the Elders ask her to teach
Paige that side of her.
Episode Three Wednesday Ninth September
Melissa's Green Jeep Liberty
Piper, Cole & Melissa are inside Melissa's new Green Jeep Liberty which screeches round a corner. Cole's
driving up front with Piper in the passenger seat & Melissa's sitting behind spotting a brand new short
golden brown flicked out bob.
Piper:Okay, turn left up here. & can you step on the gas a little?
Cole screeches round another corner, nearly hitting a taxi. Turning round Melissa yelps out as the taxi
driver honks his horn at them. She apologises to him thorough her opened window.
Melissa: Sorry, sorry.
Turning round she pats Cole on the shoulder.
Melissa: Jesus Cole watch, where you're driving will you. I've only just brought this recently you know.
Cole: Okay then you, drive Mel.
Piper: Sweetie, the demon won't wait around for us to go vanquish him.
Melissa: Mom hello we don't even know if we've the power to vanquish him. Scrying for random evil tells
us nothing.
Piper: It tells us where the demons are & since we vanquished two already this week, I say it's working
pretty well.
Melissa: You call wrapping your car around a pole working pretty well.
Piper: Well it got the demon.
Melissa: Yeah thanks to Cole saving our butts. Two witches & a half demon, does not the Power of Three
make.
Piper: So what're we supposed to do? Sit around & wait for them to pick us all off? If we didn't go after
them, they'd come after us.
Cole: They're coming after you anyway, Piper. The Source's coming after you & Shax's still alive.
Melissa: & we won't be ready for either of them because instead of teaching Paige how to be a witch,
we're out hunting for every Tom, Dick & Beelzebub in San Francisco & Kit's missing also which we should
be putting up fliers about.
Cole: Okay guys do we've a plan here or?
Piper: The plans to vanquish the demon.
Cole: Great. Any chance you've mastered your powers yet or are you still freezing & exploding at
random?
Piper looking at him speaks.
Piper: Random, but you know what they say, there's nothing like field practice. Turn here!
Cole screeches round another corner & drives down an alley. Coming out he turns into in a disused area.
Piper: Stop!
Cole slams on the breaks. A bald demon in front of them's strangling a man. Piper, Cole & Melissa get
outta the car.
Piper: Hey! Big scary demon!
The demon turns around & the man escapes from his grip & runs away. Piper tries to freeze/blow him up
but hits a dumpster behind him instead. Seeing what's happened the demon turns round grinning. His
eyes glow bright red.
Piper: Oh, oh.
The demon starts strangling Piper with his power. Holding her neck with her hands Piper coughs loudly &
sinks to the floor. Acting quickly Melissa pulls a gun outta her pocket & aims it at the demon's head.
Melissa: HEY!
Looking at her the demon sees a multiple vanquishing potion bullet fly outta the thingy piece & go into his
head making him groan in pain & feel bloated, His face turns red.
Cole: Whoa he's goanna blow!
He & Melissa run back into the car & close the doors. The demon explodes & green goo splats on the front
windscreen & sides of the doors. Cole turns on the windscreen wipers. Piper alright now walks over to the
car & opens up the passenger door.
Piper: Next!
She grins & gets in the car. Cole & Melissa look at each other not believing what happened, then at Piper,
who's still grinning.

Paige's Desk South Bay Social Services
Paige's at her desk reading Witches & Witchcraft book. You hear her talking in a voiceover.
Paige: (In Her Head) throughout history, witches have been misunderstood, persecuted & destroyed. The
public hanging, downing's, & burning of women suspected of witchcrafts a far more recent chapter of our
history then most people realise.
Her boss Bob Cowan comes up to her.
Mr. Cowan: Paige.
Paige quickly puts down the book & picks up a folder.
Paige: Yeah?
Mr. Cowan: What's the hold up on the O'Brien application?
Paige: Well, at the moment, the only things my boss standing over me distracting me from my work.
She smiles awkwardly.
Mr. Cowan: Nice teeth. Have it on my desk by noon.
He walks away. Paige whispers to an employee standing across the room.
Paige: Lila! What's the O'Brien application?
Lila: Adam O'Brien, the foster kid we're trying to get into the boarding school.
Paige: Oh my god.
Lila: Paige the scholarship applications due, like, today.
Paige: Ah I'm so lame.
Billy, a young guy with bad acne, pushes the mail cart in front of Paige's desk. He puts her mail on her
desk.
Paige: Aw, Billy, I thought I told you to throw anything from creditors in the trash.
He smiles. A man Donnie approaches him.
Donnie: Hi, Pizza-face. Look, I understand how difficult it is to tear yourself’ away from the cleavage in
this section.
He looks at Paige.
Donnie: But I'm goanna need my mail sometime today. Okay?
Billy: No problem.
Donnie: Go, go.
Billy walks away. Donnie gives Paige a sleazy look which she doesn't like & walks across the room.
Paige: Nice rug.
Donnie's toupee orbs off his head & into Paige's hand, revealing his bald spot.
Donnie: What the hell?
Donnie looks around. Paige's shocked & drops the toupee in a trash can. Everyone laughs & giggles at
Donnie. He covers his head with a sheet of paper and walks away. Paige quickly leaves her desk.
Attic
Piper, Cole & Melissa are there. Piper crosses out a page in the Book of Shadows while Phoebe looks on.
Melissa: Okay, I know you're happy we got him mom, but is it necessary to disfigure the book?
Piper: Hmm, this one could choke people & incinerate their flesh with his eyes. Wow that must sting.
Hearing this Melissa looks at the book shocked.
Melissa: (Shocked) Oh my god.
Piper: Yeah I know.
Melissa: Mom this isn't funny.
Piper: Oh come on sweetie.
Cole: Mel's right Piper. You're lucky she shot that demon.
Piper: Hey it's not my fault if she went in all guns blazing now is it?
Cole: Mel had no choice. Her powers aren't active as yours & Paige's are so she needs extra protection.
Piper: Well if she hadn't swapped powers with Phoebe in the first place she wouldn't need them.
Melissa: Hey you know I can't help that mom. Under the circumstances & the way things were going I
had no choice.
Piper: Everyone has a choice Mel.
Cole: Including you Piper. You could've gotten yourself killed. Do you know that?
He walks over to Piper.
Piper: Yes, Cole, I know killed very well.
Cole: Then why do you wanna keep risking your life & Mel's, not to mention mine? There's a legion of
Bounty Hunters on my ass & I'm supposed to be lying low but instead I'm out protecting you guys.
Piper: You know what, Cole? Next time, you can stay home.
Cole: Not if you're going on these suicide missions, I won't because even if you don't think you need
protecting Mel does.
The doorbell rings downstairs.
Cole: & I'm not goanna let her loose, her life or watch her loose her mom's as well.
Melissa goes over to him & touches his shoulder.
Melissa: Cole hey would you mind, go seeing whose, at the door for us, whilst me, & mom have a little
chat?
Cole: Sure. If it's the Source, or Shax I'll just ask them to come back later. (To Melissa) We need to talk.
He leaves the attic. Melissa turning round talks to Piper.
Melissa: Cole's right mom. We have a system for fighting demons which's worked pretty well this last
year.
Piper: I think my sisters being killed counts as a pretty big glitch in the system.
Melissa: Look I know you're angry mom & I understand why you're doing this.
Piper: Then w-why are you fighting me on this? What-what's the problem with getting a little proactive?
Melissa: Because we're not ready to get proactive. We're not ready for anything. I'm still trying to handle
aunt, Phoebe's powers & your ones are going wonky. & then there's our, other lives also.
Piper: Which's, my point entirely. The faster we get rid of these demons, the faster we get back to our
normal lives or at least what's left of them.
The attic door opens & Paige walks in.
Paige: Knock, knock. Hi sorry if I've dropped by unannounced.
She notices Melissa's new hairstyle.
Paige: Wow hey you've changed your hair. That looks great.
Melissa: Thanks yeah & don't worry about it. This's your house now to Paige. You've every right to come
here.
Paige: Thanks. I don't know why I'm here exactly. I suppose I'm just kinder having a hard time being
surrounded by people &.
Melissa: Not being able to tell them your half white lighter/half witch who can orb & move things with
your mind & heal people also with help.
Paige giggles uncertainly.
Paige: (Laughing) yeah it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Piper picks up a map & a crystal.
Melissa: Well being a witch can be tough on friendships. I should know my cousins & I had the same
problem but then been a family we had each other to talk to. My mom, aunt Prue & Aunt Phoebe had that
also which came in very handy.
Turning left she notices what Piper's got.
Melissa: Mom what're you doing?
Piper: Well it's getting a little chatty up here, so I'm goanna go scry for evil in my bedroom okay?
Hearing this Paige looks confused.
Paige: (Confused) Scry?
Piper heads for the door.
Piper: Yeah, it's um. I'll let Mel explain that to you. I'll see you later.
She leaves the attic.
Melissa: It's basically a supernatural Lo-Jack that helps you locate someone you're looking for. You need
a map a crystal & most importantly something that belongs to the person otherwise it won't work. You tie
the person's thing to the end of crystal then hang it over the map & swing it round till the magical energy pulls you to point where the person is.
Paige: Well can't you just use that big book for it? I mean, it's a book of spells, right?
Paige walks over to the Book.
Melissa: Yes but it's much more than that. It's hard to explain though.
Paige: It looks so old.
Melissa: Well actually it dates back to the Salem witch trials so you can't get any older than that then.
Paige: Wow.
Melissa: Yeah our ancestor Melinda Warren first started it then it passed down through every generation
until it reached my mom & Aunts then my cousins & me.
Paige: God it must be very powerful to survive that long. Wonder what its secret is?
Melissa: The book has a protection spell which Melinda cast to protect itself from evil.
Paige: Protect itself. How?
Melissa: If someone evil tries to take it, it flies outta their hand or falls off the pedestal & moves away. Or
if the books open it'll close & do the same thing.
Paige: So someone like Cole can't touch it for example even though he's half human.
Melissa: No because he's half demon also which's what the book senses.
Paige: What about anyone good can they touch it besides us?
Melissa: Yes. Which's why we keep the attic locked when we're not home or someone's here unless it's
dad or Darryl whom we know of course.
Paige: Oh right.
Touching the cover Paige fingers it caressingly.
Paige: What's this?
She points to the triquetra symbol in the middle.
Melissa: That's called the triquetra which symbolises the power of three. The top stands for telekinesis,
the left molecular stasis & the right premonitions or the father, son & Holy Spirit if you wanna go all neo-
pagan like.
Sliding her top down Melissa shows Paige the same image she's got tattooed of that on her back.
Melissa: I have it tattooed on my back also.
Paige: Why?
Melissa: Because it reminds me who I am. My cousins had that also. I've got other tattoos of my future
kid's names one of an angel reminding me of my former white lighter side & another of Sam my former
fiancé which I haven't got removed yet.
Paige's intrigued hearing this.
Paige: (Intrigued) Wow you were engaged? What happened?
Melissa: When my Aunts died I was afraid I wouldn't live to see Shax vanquished so I split up with him
which’s a good thing really considering. Then me, & mom found you of course & things changed.
Paige: Do you wanna get back with him?
Thinking about it Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking Head) I can't. As much as I love Sam we've got the Source & Shax to vanquish which I
need a clear head to do so.
Paige looks at her sympathetically.
Paige: I'm sorry.
Melissa: That's alright. I'm not giving up on men completely just taking a hiatus till that's sorted out. Besides there's plenty of more fish Paige.
Thinking about that Paige answers.
Paige: True. May I?
Melissa: If you want yes. It's your book also so you can look at it anytime you want. I'd walk you through
it right now, but I have to talk to Cole.
Paige: Well, maybe I can take it to my office then.
Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking Her Head) Oh, no, no, no, no. The book doesn't leave the house. That's a big rule here.
But feel free to thumb through it though & I'll be back in a few minutes.
Melissa leaves the attic. Paige flips through the Book & stops at an Instant Karma Spell.
Paige: Oh wow this could solve a lot of problems.
She gets some Post-it notes out & a pen & starts writing down the spell.
Sunroom
Cole & Melissa are waiting there for Leo to orb in which he does soon afterwards.
Leo: What is it? What's wrong?
Cole: You've got to talk to your wife Leo.
Melissa: Cole, remember what I said about being gentle?
Leo: What about my wife?
Cole: She's outta control.
Melissa: Cole!
Leo: What?
Melissa: We're just worried about mom that's all.
Leo: Why?
Melissa: Because she's very, very angry.
Leo: Well, of course she's angry. She's grieving.
Melissa: & if she were punching through walls, I'd happily fix that but.
Cole: Instead she's punching through demons.
Leo: Okay I'll talk to her.
Cole moves closer to Leo.
Cole: Leo she has no regard for her own life or anyone else's. She's Charles Bronson, cubed.
Leo looks at Cole little angry.
Leo: (Angry) I said I'd talk to her.
Melissa stands in between them two.
Melissa: Guys, can we not refer mom to Charles Bronson please thank you. Now Cole can me & dad have
a minute alone please?
Cole: Sure.
Melissa: Thank you.
Cole leaves the room as Leo & Melissa walk in the lounge.
Lounge
They sit on the couch there.
Melissa: It's not just that she's violent, dad. She's not acting like herself. She's completely dismissive of
Paige & her powers are wonky. She would've died earlier had I not shot the demon because she didn't
know he could choke people & incinerate them with his eyes. She had a go at me for that even though
my powers aren't active as hers are. It takes a lot of time, money & effort to buy & make those bullets
dad.
Looking at her he sympathises.
Leo: I know sweetie.
Melissa: But mom doesn't. She doesn't understand that & I don't know what to do anymore.
Leo: Its strange how you used to know what to do been their white lighter & all but now things have changed & you’re having, to do two roles at the moment been their mediator & leader.
Melissa: Yeah & I'm finding it hard to do. In the future I was just mediator between Patty & Ben.
Leo: Well you knew what to do there because you knew & lived with them. Here it's different as you don't
know Paige yet.
Melissa: Which I'd like to do & need to, to form the family bond thing so we can really become the power
of three but mom won't let me.
Leo: Not a lot of fun, huh?
Melissa: There not jobs I'd have asked for. & I'm not sure I'll be any good at them but I just, don't really
have time to worry about that right now.
Leo: I'll talk to her.
Melissa: Thanks, dad.
They hug.
Melissa: Although not to rush this tender moment, but she's already started scrying for evil upstairs in
her room.
Leo orbs out & Melissa falls, head first on the couch. She looks upward.
Melissa: Hey you don't have to show of you, know.
Attic
Paige has Post-it notes stuck all over the Book of Shadows. Running outta Post-its she looks around.
Getting an idea, Paige closes the Book & carries it to the window.
Paige: Okay, book, protect yourself.
She opens the window & drops the Book of Shadows out. It lands on the grass.
Melissa calls up from downstairs.
Melissa: (From Downstairs) Paige! I'll be right up!
Paige heads for the door.
Stairs
Melissa's nearly at the top as Paige comes around the corner nearly bumping into her.
Melissa: Hey!
Paige: Hey!
Melissa laughs.
Melissa: (Laughing) what's the rush?
They walk downstairs.
Paige: Uh, work you know. Lunch break's over. Gotta, go.
Melissa: But we haven't even talked yet.
Paige: Oh that's alright. Don't worry about it.
Melissa: Well maybe you can come by later then.
Paige: Sure yeah whatever. Bye.
She waves & leaves.
Melissa: Bye.
She looks upstairs suspiciously.
Melissa: Hmm that's weird.
Then feels, her dog Lucky stroke his head against her leg. Turning round she strokes him.
Melissa: Yeah boy I know.
Piper & Leo's Room
Piper's scrying there with Leo standing nearby her.
Leo: Honey listen, it's not just that it's dangerous risking your own life but it's dangerous risking Mel's
also.
Piper: Leo, White lighters are supposed to guide. Not judge. Just because I'm doing things a little
different doesn't mean there's a problem.
She drops the crystal.
Leo: Piper, I'm your husband, not just you're White lighter & when you speak to me or our daughter like
that there is a problem. You powers are wonky & I can't help you unless you talk to me.
Piper: It hurts to talk, Leo. It hurts to breathe. So unless you've some idea how to bring my sisters back,
then I don't wanna talk about it.
Leo: Is that what you don't wanna say? Or is it that you blame Mel still for swapping powers with Phoebe
& for elder Sandra not being able to heal her & Prue.
Piper: No, Leo. I don't blame them. I blame evil. Why-why do you think I'm doing all this? For, kicks?
Leo: Honestly, I think you're doing it because it's easier than confronting what you're really feeling.
Piper starts scrying again & the crystal points to a place on the map.
Piper: Demon.
Leo: What?
Piper: I've got work to do.
She walks outta the room shouting.
Piper: (Shouting) Cole, Mel! Let's go!
Copy Room
Paige's there, trying to copy the Book of Shadows. Donnie walks in checks out Paige's butt & fixes his
toupee.
Donnie: Nothing like a copy room with a view.
He pours himself some coffee. Paige straightens up. Billy walks in.
Donnie: Hey Clearasil, what's popping?
Donnie laughs & leaves the room.
Paige: Don't worry about him, Billy. He's a jerk to everyone.
Billy: Yeah, I know. That's why his mail gets lost... frequently.
Paige, smiles.
Paige: Hey, is there something wrong with this copier?
Billy: No I don't think so. I just ran a whole bunch off.
Paige: Everything keeps coming up blank.
Billy: Are you trying to copy a book?
She pushes the lid of the copier down trying to hide it.
Paige: Nah, it's nothing really. It's cool.
Billy: Well, if you need me to do it for you, just say the word.
Paige: Thanks. You're sweet.
He smiles shyly & pours’ some coffee. Paige turns over the Book of Shadows & whispers the Vanishing
Spell.
Paige: (Whispering) LET THE OBJECT OF THE OBJECTION BECOME BUT A DREAM, AS I CAUSE THE TO BE
UNSEEN.
Billy groans as a magical light surrounds his face.
Paige: You okay, Billy?
Billy: Yeah. I just, uh, got a little head rush.
He turns around showing that his acne has cleared to Paige.
Paige: Oh my god, it worked.
She closes up the Book.
Paige: Oh my god.
She picks it up & goes over to Billy.
Billy: Paige is everything alright?
Paige: It will be from now on.
She kisses him on the cheek & leaves. Billy, smiles.
Alleyway
Cole, Piper & Melissa are walking down there.
Melissa: Okay mom, Cole & I do not support this. & if you insist on doing it, then you are going in alone.
Piper: Alright. I'll see you at home.
Melissa: (To Cole) I told you that wouldn't work.
Cole: Well it was worth a shot.
Stopping suddenly Melissa smells something.
Melissa: Wait a minute. Do you smell smoke?
The other two stop then.
Piper: It's coming from in there.
Piper points to a large wooden door. There's smoke rising from underneath it. A man calls out from
inside.
Man:(From Inside) What is that? What is it? Stop! Stop!
Cole walks over to the door.
Cole: Who is that?
He sees Piper moving forward.
Cole: What're you doing?
Piper: Get back, I'll blow it up. Go on.
Cole backs away from the door & Piper freezes Cole & the smoke.
Melissa: Uh, mom.
Piper: Yeah, yeah. Crap. Okay.
Piper takes off her coat & throws it on the ground. She wiggles her arms to relax herself then uses her
power. The door blows up, sending Cole flying across the alley, landing on a car & falling off on the
ground.
Melissa: Mom!
She runs over to Cole.
Piper: What? Oh!
A man runs outside, knocking Piper over. Three furies follow. Phoebe helps Cole up. Piper gets ready to
use her power.
Cole: Piper, let them go!
Piper blows up a car in front of the Furies. They turn around.
Piper: Uh-oh.
Piper tries to freeze them but freezes Cole instead again.
Piper: They're-they're, they're immune to my powers.
Melissa: Unfortunately, Cole isn't.
A Fury attacks Piper but she dodges their hits. Another goes for Melissa. Piper picks up a trash can lid &
the Fury puts a hole in it. Melissa ducks kneeing a Fury in the chest then grabbing it swings it round & kicks the Fury outta the way. A second one comes up behind her as the other Fury gets up off the floor. Seeing them either end Melissa's astral form projects in behind one fury & swipes her leg at it as her real self concentrates on the second one with an athame. The two girls dish out their own brand of justice with an array of fury knife swipes, kicks & punches till getting them close together real Melissa pulls out two multiple vanquishing guns cross ways & fires bullets from them which they dodge smoking out then in behind grabbing both Melissa's & trying to smoke them.
Melissa: (Coughing, gasping) Mom, unfreeze Cole.
Piper: What if I blow him up?
Cole unfreezes. Seeing Melissa he throws an energy ball at Fury one behind astral Melissa destroying
her. Fury two disappears whilst number three knocks Piper down & blows smoke in her mouth. She
coughs.
Melissa: Cole!
Cole throws an energy ball engulfing the Fury in flames. Piper continues to cough.
Hallway
Entering in Melissa deactivates the burglar alarm as Cole closes the front door. Melissa goes off to
retrieve Lucky from outside the garden.
Piper: Okay I'm goanna take out those chain-smokin' cancer bitches if it's the last thing I do.
Cole: It might be the last thing you do Piper.
Piper: That's real supporting Cole. Whose side you on?
Cole: At the moment Mel's.
Piper coughs. Cole follows her into the kitchen.
Kitchen
Coming in Piper, talks as Melissa's feeding Lucky.
Piper: Well, last time I checked, Mel's my daughter, which technically puts her on my side so why are we
arguing?
Melissa: We're not arguing, mom we're discussing. You're arguing. & you're already hurt.
Piper: Mel I'm fine.
She takes a water bottle out of the fridge & has a sip.
Melissa: No you’re not you're coughing like you've got bronchitis.
Cole: & you're out fighting demons when you should be, laying low.
Melissa: Right getting to know Paige & teaching her the craft so that we can vanquish Shax & the Source.
Cole: Whilst sorting out your emotions also so that you can regain control of your powers.
He & Piper walk outta the kitchen. Melissa talks to Lucky.
Melissa: Stay there boy.
She follows them as Lucky continues eating.
Dining Room
They go through the Dining Room.
Cole: Which we need especially with those demons.
Piper: My emotions are completely in check Cole maybe it's you two who should be sorting them out.
Melissa: Excuse me?
Piper: Well you didn't cry at Prue & Phoebe's funeral & you're already bagging Phoebe's stuff up when she
hasn't even been dead five minutes so you tell me who needs help.
Melissa: Hang on you know, already why I didn't cry at their funeral.
Cole: & Phoebe was my girlfriend so it's my decision whether I get rid of her stuff or not.
Piper: No Cole it's mine. She was my sister.
Cole: & you'll never do it Piper just like you won't do it with Prue. We can't hang onto their stuff forever
otherwise we'll never move on which's exactly what you should do with these demons.
Piper: Hey I'm doing this because it's what we do we eliminate evil.
They stop at the bottom of the stairs.
Cole: Regardless of the consequences. Now you sound like Prue.
Piper: Okay, Cole. I'm goanna vanquish the cancer girls with or without your help. So either tell me what
you know or get outta the way.
Cole looks at Melissa. She shrugs her shoulders.
Cole: They're called Furies.
Piper: & those are?
Melissa: They were three spirits of vengeance in Geek mythology. They lived in the underworld &
punished all evildoers either with madness or insanity.
Cole: Exactly but these ones are modern knockoffs though their mo's still the same.
Piper: They punish evildoers?
Cole: Yeah. Although beware these Furies have no temperance. They'll go after a shoplifter as soon as a
murderer & they take great pleasure in the kill.
Piper: Then we'll take great pleasure in the, vanquish.
Piper goes up the stairs Melissa stands in front of Cole.
Melissa: You're worried aren't you encase they, come after you. Have they done that before?
Cole: No but when they focus their thoughts on you, they force you to hear the cries of all your former
victims.
Melissa: Yeah I know. The Greek Furies did that also. Besides you're not the demon who did those things
anymore.
Piper screams from upstairs. Cole & Melissa go upstairs.
Attic
Piper's standing in front of the empty Book of Shadows mouth open in shock.
Piper: Evil got the Book of Shadows. How did evil get the Book of Shadows?
Realising what's happened Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Oh, no.
Piper: Oh, no, sweetie? A demon has the Book of Shadows. Oh no doesn't cover it.
Cole: I'll go see what I can find out.
He turns to leave but Melissa stops him.
Melissa: No, wait. Alright mom, if I tell you what happened will you promise me you won't overreact.
Piper: That depends on what you tell me.
Melissa: Okay well I think it might be feasible that, uh, Paige borrowed the book.
Piper: (Angry) She, she did what? Why would you let her do that?
Melissa: See now this is what I meant about overreacting. It's just that...
Cole: You let Paige take the Book of Shadows outta the Manor?
Melissa: No of course not. She knew we don't do that. It's just she left pretty quickly & obviously threw it.
She looks at the open window.
Piper: (Angry) Outta the window?
Melissa: Mom, I don't...
Piper: (Angry) Mel, why would you even leave her alone with it?
Melissa: Because she's family.
Piper looks at her coldly.
Piper: No she isn't.
She storms outta the room. Melissa shouts out after her.
Melissa: (Shouting) Mom!
She follows her. Cole pulls up a chair & sits down on it. Melissa runs back in.
Melissa: Are you coming?
Cole: To vanquish you're Aunt? No thanks I think I'll sit this one out.
Melissa runs back out & Cole sits there twiddling his thumbs.
South Bay Social Services
Lila's looking at Billy's face.
Lila: It's unbelievable.
Billy: Maybe it was the light from the copy machine.
They start to walk through the office. Billy's pushing the mail cart.
Lila: God, this day's amazing. I mean, you went & got cute...
Billy: You think?
Lila: Totally. & then my car loan comes through, like, outta nowhere.
They pass Paige's desk. Paige's on the phone smiling.
Lila: My credits worse than Paige's. You know, I still can't believe all of this.
Billy: It's amazing.
Billy & Lila walk away.
Paige: (on phone) Sir, I take full responsibility for being late with the application. I'm just simply asking
for a deadline extension.
Man: (on phone) Well, I can't give you a deadline extension.
Paige: Look I'm asking that you not punish Adam O'Brien who's already had a tough enough life for my
mistake. (Listens) Sir, all I'm saying is…
She looks down at the Book of Shadows which's sitting on her lap & says the spell written out.
Paige: THESE WORDS WILL TRAVEL THROUGH THE MINDS OF STUBBORN PARTIES & UNBIND, THE
THOUGHTS TOO RIGID TO BE KIND, A COMPROMISE THEY'LL DISENTWINE.
The spell has an effect on the man on the phone.
Man: (on phone) how does six o'clock on Friday sound?
Paige: Six o'clock Friday's perfect. Thank you so much.
She hangs up.
Paige: Victory!
Lila & Billy look over at her.
Lila: You got the extension?
Paige: Yep.
Lila walks over to her.
Lila: Unbelievable. You're into all that witchy stuff, right?
Hearing this Paige looks at her a little awkwardly.
Paige: (Awkward) Excuse me?
Lila: Well, I'm just thinking there must be something in the stars today. I mean, Billy's face, my car, now
this. Is there a full moon or something?
Trying not to look too suspicious Paige quickly thinks of an excuse.
Paige: I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm goanna call my student loan sharks & take full advantage of
it.
Lila: Ooh yeah me too.
Paige laughs. Lila walks away. Donnie comes up to her & stands behind her.
Donnie: You know, Paige?
He talks in her ear.
Donnie: As a lawyer, I can so easily get those nasty creditors off your back. & if you can't pay me back,
we can always take it out in trade.
Paige: Or I could just sue your ass for sexual harassment & pay you with my fat punitive settlement.
Donnie: The way you dress, the judge would admire my restraint.
He walks away.
Paige: That's it.
She finds the Instant Karma Spell in the Book of Shadows & looks up smiling.
Paige: Perfect. I'll just change demon to dirt bag.
Outside South Bay Social Services
Melissa parks her car up then she & Piper get out & Melissa locks it then they both walk towards the
building.
Piper: I don't understand how anyone can be that stupid.
Melissa: Well I don't understand why you haven't stopped ranting since we left the house.
Piper: You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.
Melissa: Yes, Paige made a mistake.
Piper: A mistake? She stole from us.
Melissa: She borrowed. Okay borrowed.
Piper: She threw our family heritage outta the window!
Melissa: Only because we haven't really explained the significance of the book to her which's part of what
we should be doing by teaching her the craft.
Piper: Okay, sweetie, it's not just a book alright. It's like, part of our family.
Piper coughs. Melissa puts her arm around Piper.
Melissa Paige's not a killer. She hasn't killed anyone. & she's not a demon we're out to vanquish.
Piper: I get that, sweetie
Melissa: I don't think you do mom because the way you're behaving you could wind up killing an
innocent.
Piper: Highly unlikely.
She coughs.
Melissa: You alright?
Donnie runs outta the building with a bunch of women following him.
Donnie: Hey! Hey! Get away from me!
They surround him.
Piper: What the hell's going on?
Lila: Come on. Give Mama some sugar.
He sinks to the ground & they fall all over him. Paige comes, outta the building holding her bag so it
covers her chest. She goes over to Piper & Phoebe.
Piper: You are so...
They notice something wrong & open her coat to reveal her very large breasts.
Melissa: Busted? Whoa hello there as big as mine.
Piper: You stole our sacred book so you could perform magical plastic surgery on yourself?
Paige: You think I did this on purpose? My body was perfectly fine just as it was. Thank you.
Donnie calls out again from underneath the crowd.
Donnie: I mean it! Get away from me!
Piper freezes the crowd.
Melissa: Mom, you could've just blown up a dozen innocent people.
Piper: I took a chance.
Melissa: See? Are you listening to yourself?
Piper: (to Paige) what happened?
Paige: I don't know. They just... grew.
Piper: & you had nothing to do with that.
Melissa: Did you cast any spells?
Paige looks quizzical.
Paige: (Quizzical) Why?
Melissa: Because if you did that would explain everything.
Paige: I may've cast one.
Melissa gives her a look.
Paige: Or Four.
Piper: Four?
Melissa: Okay, then what did you do just before you turned into Betty Boop?
Paige: Well, the last spell I cast was the one on this slime ball I work with so I could give him a taste of his own medicine.
Melissa: Uh-huh.
Turning round Melissa, points to Donnie.
Melissa: That the slime ball?
Paige looks at Donnie & nods.
Paige: Yeah?
Piper: & that's the backfire.
Paige: Backfire?
Melissa: You misused magic to make him the object of ogling, & the spell backfired & did the same thing
to you. It's called personal gain.
Paige: But the guys a creep I mean you should see him.
Melissa: That maybe but we can’t use our powers like that to punish the guilty even if the person is a
creep.
Paige shrugs her shoulders a little confused.
Paige: Why not?
Melissa: Because that's not what magic’s used for Paige.
Piper: Which you would've learned had you'd bothered to ask. But now instead of vanquishing demons,
we're goanna have to spend the afternoon fixing your mess.
Paige sighs out aloud.
Paige: Okay I’m sorry.
Melissa: Alright, mom, call dad & get him to orb whomever home. We'll have to protect him till we figure
out how to reverse the spell. Paige & I will grab the book & meet you there.
Piper looks at Paige & shakes her head. She walks away. Melissa calls out to her.
Melissa: & make sure you don't crash my car.
Paige looks down at her breasts.
Paige's Car
Paige & Melissa are driving down the road in Paige's light green Volkswagen Beetle. Paige's driving whilst
Melissa's sitting in the passenger seat looking through the Book of Shadows.
Paige: Are my boobs goanna stay this way forever?
Melissa: Not if I find a reversal spell.
Paige: What about your mom? Is she goanna stay mad at me forever?
Melissa: No. It's just um... she hasn't really been herself lately. You know a lot of ups & downs since her
sisters.
Paige: I understand. The last thing I wanted to do was add to your guys' stress. I just wanted to get back at Donnie.
Melissa: I know you did Paige. & I understand the temptation, I really do.
Paige: You do?
Melissa: Uh hmm.
Pausing a second she remembers something that happened in the future.
Melissa: In the future after my cousins & my adopted families died & we fought out we were witches all
we thought about at first was getting them back. We fought an ancient book containing dark magic & a
spell which could resurrect people. Of course we didn't know when we cast it that they'd become zombie's
& wouldn't remember anything of their former lives.
Hearing this Paige looks shocked.
Paige: (Shocked) Oh my god.
Melissa: Yeah seeing the way they were we couldn't let them live like that so we reversed the spell &
sent them back but it taught us a lot about personal gain & what happens if you abuse it which's why the
Book Of Shadows never leaves the house.
Paige: Right. Sorry.
She tries to change into third gear but has a little trouble.
Paige: My boobs are in the way. Can you put it into third for me?
Melissa: Yeah sure. Ready? Here we go.
Melissa moves the gearstick into third. The tyres screech.
Paige: Thanks.
Melissa: No worries.
Paige looks at Melissa quickly before turning back & speaks.
Paige: Hey how do you cope like this when you're driving?
Melissa: I drive auto like mom does. Can't, stand gears. & my cars a lot bigger & my seats back further so
it doesn't encroach on my boobs.
Paige: Oh right. Hey have you found the spell yet?
Melissa finds a page about Furies.
Melissa: No, but I have found the demons. Oh sweet lord.
Paige: What? You can't say "demons" followed by "Oh sweet lord". I'm new at this, I'm likely to panic.
Melissa: Okay, uh, fury smoke kills bad guys, but in good people, it looks for a portal of unexpressed fury.
Paige: &?
Melissa: It builds until it consumes your humanity & turns you into a Fury. This must be what Cole meant
about the modern knock off from the Greek myth.
Paige: What?
Melissa: Um, we fought the Furies today & mom got smoked.
Paige: Wait. Are you saying that Piper's turning into a demon?
Melissa: Well from what my aunts told me it wouldn't be the first time.
Paige gives her a funny look.
Melissa: Okay uh, step on it & hit the clutch. I'm going into fourth. Ready? On three. One two three.
She changes to fourth which makes them go faster.
Lounge
Donnie lands on the couch.
Leo: Easy, Piper.
Piper: What're you protecting him now?
Donnie: Wh-wh-what the hell’s going on? & what's with the chicks? They've gone crazy.
Piper: This chick just saved your ass you snivelling ingrate.
Donnie gets up.
Donnie: Do you see what I mean?
Piper: Who said you could get up?
She pushes him over the back of the couch.
Leo: What's the matter with you? Okay, honey look, I don't know what's going on, but we really need to
talk.
Piper: Leo, you know what? I'm sick of talking.
Piper blows Leo up but he reassembles himself & orbs back in. Piper goes over to Donnie. Leo orbs back
in.
Leo: Now we really need to talk. Piper, you do not use your powers on me or a mortal.
He stands behind her.
Leo: Do you hear me?
Cole stands at the doorway.
Cole: Back away slowly, Leo. She's becoming a Fury.
Leo: What?
Piper grows large black fingernails.
Cole: There's no reasoning with her now.
Leo stands in front of her.
Leo: Piper, you're a good witch. Do you hear me? Fight this.
Piper touches his face, & pushes him over the couch.
Donnie: Oh God! Help!
Piper goes over & scratches Donnie. Cole gets a low level energy ball ready. Piper picks up Donnie &
blows smoke. Cole throws the energy ball at Piper which pushes her back. Paige & Melissa walk in.
Melissa: Cole!
Cole: I, well...
Piper looks at the crowd angrily.
Piper: (Angry) that wasn't very nice.
She smokes outta the room.
Lounge
Time lapse later Melissa's looking through the Book of Shadows, as Leo's kneeling beside Donnie, who's
asleep on the couch.
Leo: Cole hit her with an energy ball.
Melissa: Dad it was a low voltage one.
Leo: Oh yeah what about the time he hit you huh?
Paige looks shocked hearing this.
Paige: (Shocked) Cole hit you?
Melissa: He was trying to make sure this gang called The Brotherhood didn't suspect him & he apologised.
Leo: Well he didn't this time.
Melissa: Yeah because he knew what you'd say that's why. Besides would you prefer he'd let her kill an
innocent?
Leo: I'd prefer that he wouldn't use his demonic powers on my wife. I can't believe that you let him go
look for her.
Paige: Oh, this all my fault. I shouldn't have stolen the Book of Shadows.
Leo turns round looking at Paige shocked.
Leo: You stole the Book of Shadows?
Melissa: Dad please you need to calm down & focus okay. Now heal Donnie's wounds.
Leo heals Donnie's scratches.
Melissa: I just hope Cole finds her fast because if this is like the time I turned into a Banshee, she's
goanna be hungry for a kill.
Leo stands up.
Paige: I'm sorry you turned into a what?
Melissa: A Banshee.
Turning the Books of Shadows Melissa shows Paige what she means.
Melissa: Here.
Paige: Oh my god they really look like that?
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: Yep.
Paige: & they really do this?
Melissa: It happened after my future changed completely. I had a hard time getting used to my new life &
one of them sensed that & homed in on me.
Paige: Why didn't it kill you?
Melissa: Because like it says what I wrote at the bottom with witches you turn into Banshee's instead of
dying & if you kill just one person you stay a Banshee forever.
Paige: Okay I need to sit down.
She sits on the couch next to Donnie. Donnie wakes & sits up & stares straight at Paige's breasts.
Donnie: Whoa.
Paige punches him in the face, knocking him out.
Leo: Paige!
Paige stands up.
Paige: What? You only said I couldn't use magic to punish him.
Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Okay, dad, orb Donnie back to his office, heal him there, & make sure he doesn't nark us out for
being witches.
Leo: How?
Melissa: Use memory dust on him.
Paige: Memory dust?
Melissa: White lighter powder that makes people forget things depending how much is used obviously.
Leo: Which can, only be used in emergencies.
Melissa: Which this is or do you want what happened to Aunt Prue & Aunt Phoebe happen again?
Relieving that moment Leo talks.
Leo: No.
Melissa: Right then.
Leo: What about your mother?
Melissa: Well you do your job. & we'll do our okay? We'll get mom back. I promise.
Leo touches Donnie & they orb out. Paige & Melissa sit on the couch.
Paige: Um, I hate to ask, but how're we goanna get his wife back? I mean, she's kinder full-on demon.
Phoebe: No she blew dad up with her witch powers meaning she's a hybrid like Cole & she doesn't have
the talons yet. That comes with the first kill. Besides, if my aunts saved her when she turned into a
Wendigo...
Paige: I'm sorry a Wendi-what?
Melissa: A Wenidgo
She flips the book to the right page.
Melissa: Here.
Paige looks at the picture.
Paige: Err, he looks like a Werewolf.
Melissa: They sorter are but a lot meaner. There killed by fire. My ex fiancée & his brother got one last
year.
Paige: Wow there witches to?
Melissa: No hunters. There humans who kill demons & other supernatural beings like us but with
weapons not powers.
She finds the Instant Karma Spell afterwards.
Melissa: Okay is this the spell you used?
Paige: Uh-huh.
Melissa picks up a notepad & pen.
Paige: Is there some sorter spell I could do, you know, in advance so I could, uh, not become maybe a
Banshee or...
Melissa: Unfortunately not although there are charms & warding tattoo’s which can protect you from
being possessed by demons.
Hearing this Paige looks shocked.
Paige: Wait demons can possess you?
Mel nods her head.
Melissa: Depending on your mood yes which’s what makes you vulnerable to them & how they get in
although there is a spell in the book of shadows that will dispossess them & another one ordained by the
Roman Catholic Church if the first one doesn’t work then which hunters use mainly.
Paige: Wow I don’t believe it.
Mel nods her head again.
Melissa: Yeah. So what word did you sub demon with?
Paige: Dirt bag. Why? Whaddya doing?
Melissa: Trying to write a spell of my own because there isn't one in the book. Although Aunt Phoebe was
the spell master in the family not me. I wish she could help me. Okay Mel get, your thinking cap on.
She writes something down & scrunches up the paper up. Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Right.
She gets Paige to stand up.
Melissa: Paige give, me your hand.
They join hands. She burns the tip of the paper with a lit candle.
Melissa: Okay I hope this works. GUIDED SPIRITS, HEAR OUR PLEA, ANNUL THIS MAGIC LET, IT BE.
Paige: Please let it be.
Paige's breasts return to normal size. Melissa looks excited as the spells worked.
Melissa: (Excited) Whoa it worked great.
Paige looks down & groans.
Paige: Do you think maybe a little too well?
Alleyway
A man pushes another man against the wall. He holds a knife to his throat.
Innocent man: I'll give you anything you want.
Man: Shut up.
Two Furies come up behind him & one scratches his back. He spins around & the innocent runs away. The
man hears voices in his head. He drops the knife & falls to his knees. The Fury blows smoke in his mouth.
He coughs & is engulfed in flames. He disappears. Piper smokes in behind them. They turn around
making purring-like noises.
Piper: I've been looking for you.
Dining Room
Paige & Melissa are there. Melissa's scrying.
Melissa: Come on.
Paige: Why isn't it working?
Melissa: Because mom's not a witch anymore.
Paige: But I thought you said she was a hybrid?
Melissa: She has to be full blood for us to scry for her.
Paige: Well can't you just scry for evil then?
Melissa: Do you know how much evil's running around San Francisco right now?
She stops scrying.
Melissa: Err, mom.
Cole shimmers in. He's bruised & scratched.
Looking up Melissa sees him.
Melissa: Cole. Thank God.
She goes over & touches his right arm.
Cole: Don't thank me yet.
Paige: You didn't find her?
Cole: I didn't get a chance to. Every time I used my sensing powers, a bounty hunter sensed me. I fought
off three of them.
He sits down at the table.
Cole: I'm sorry.
Melissa sits next to him smiling.
Melissa: That's okay.
Paige: How if we can't find her?
Cole: What haven't you tried getting Paige to sense her yet?
Paige: Sense? What do you mean?
Melissa: Cole means that as a half white lighter you have the ability to sense evil as well as good.
Paige: Then why don't we try it?
Melissa: Because mom's angry not evil.
Cole: Great now what?
Thinking Paige comes up with an idea.
Paige: Hey you know that spell Piper cast which found me.
Melissa: The call a lost witch spell? But I said mom's not a witch anymore.
Paige. True, but if I was able to substitute the word 'dirtbag' for 'demon', then why can't we substitute the
word 'Halliwell' for 'witch' since although we're not classed by that namely we are though by blood?
Cole: Would that work?
Melissa: Well, no. Not if she's already looking for a kill. The call won't be strong enough.
Paige: Why not?
Melissa: Because of the pull of evil. When I was a Banshee I felt everyone's pain & the need to kill them
was so great it took my dad to stop me from doing that & without something like that I don't think she'll
answer the call.
There's silence.
Paige: Then we'll add bait.
Paige glances at Cole then looks at Melissa. Melissa looks at Cole & he looks back.
Melissa: What're you kidding me? No.
Paige: The Furies go after evildoers, right?
Melissa: Paige, we can't use Cole as bait. Not when he's hurt.
Cole: Oh, yes we can. It's perfect.
He stands up & goes near Paige.
Melissa: Cole, you've been a demon for over a century. That's a lot of victims. The pain of their cries
alone will kill you.
Cole: Yes, but like you said, I'm not that demon anymore. & if facing my crimes helps saves Piper.
Melissa: Cole, I...
He sits back down next to her.
Cole: Mel I'd do almost anything for your family. I owe that to Phoebe. But I will not be a coward for you.
Please don't ask me to be.
Nodding her head Melissa agrees.
Melissa: Alright then we'll need some of your blood.
Cole: Okay.
Paige: Knife.
A knife orbs from the table & into Paige's hand. She holds it out in front of Cole. Time lapse later Paige &
Melissa are staring down at the Book Of Shadows. Melissa's holding a knife above a lit candle.
Paige/Melissa: POWER OF THE HALLIWELL'S RISE, COURSE UNSEEN ACROSS THE SKIES, COME TO US
WHO CALL YOU NEAR.
Alleyway
The Furies are touching Piper's hair. Piper's wearing fury clothes & has talons on her face. She hears
Paige & Melissa chanting.
Paige/Melissa: COME TO US & SETTLE HERE. BLOOD TO BLOOD WE SUMMON THEE, BLOOD TO BLOOD
RETURN TO ME.
Piper: I know where evil dwells.
Hallway
Paige, Melissa & Cole are there. Cole's pacing as Paige's looking at Melissa's guns down in her side arms.
Melissa notices them.
Melissa: Are you okay Paige?
Paige: Yeah I'm just not friendly with guns.
Melissa: Oh there just for my protection Paige as my powers aren't active as your's & mom's are. Don't
worry I won't use them unless I have to.
Paige: Okay.
Turning round she looks at Cole.
Melissa: Are you sure about this?
Cole: I'm good at a lot of things. Waiting's not one of them.
Paige makes a noise & throws her arms down.
Melissa: What are you doing Paige?
Paige: I'm trying to do that orb thingy you & Leo could do. But I can't seem to get the hang of it, though.
Melissa: You won't, not yet. It takes quite a while to learn to do that.
Cole: Or you can just.
Cole yells in Paige's face which makes her scream & orb out then back in afterwards.
Cole: Do that of course.
Paige: What happened?
Melissa: Cole made you orb by fear response.
Paige: Really?
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: Yep. So you may've to do that until me & dad can teach you how to do it probably.
Paige: Alright that shouldn't be too difficult.
Melissa: Good. Then we'll orb, astral project, & juggle knives if we have to long enough to keep the
Furies distracted from Cole.
Paige: Okay but how do we un-demon Piper when she gets here?
Melissa: Well, we do the same thing dad did with me when I was a Banshee we get her to admit what's
wrong & close the portal of unexpressed fury.
Cole: Unexpressed? She's been raging for days.
Melissa: That's 'cause there's something she's not saying which she needs to.
Paige: Which's what?
Melissa: I think I've an idea what.
Cole yells out in pain & drops to his knees. He hears voices. Melissa kneels beside him.
Melissa: (Concerned) Cole.
Cole: They're close?
Paige gets scared & orbs out again. Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Paige?
Paige orbs back in.
Paige: I did it again.
Cole: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
A Fury barges in through the front door. Melissa goes towards her & kicks her, away knocking her down.
She gets up & attacks Melissa. Melissa blocks a few times & kicks her back down. She pulls out one of her
guns & aims it at the Fury. Piper & the other Fury appear behind Melissa near Cole. Paige calls out.
Paige: Mel!
Melissa spins around & sees them two. Projecting in behind them astral Melissa speaks.
Astral Melissa: Nice decoy, mom but your goanna have to do better than that.
She kicks her away from Cole then does the same with the other. Real Melissa goes over to Cole as her
astral self gangs up on Piper & the Fury.
Real Melissa: Cole. Come on. Come on.
Another Fury smokes in it front of Cole & real Melissa.
Paige: Lamp!
The lamp orbs, out & flies across the room hitting the Fury. She turns around.
Paige: Sorry.
The Fury goes over to her.
Paige: Really sorry.
Cole throws an energy ball at the Fury killing it then aims another at the Fury fighting alongside Piper
with astral Melissa killing that one also. Astral Melissa disappears then Piper pushes real Melissa outta the
way & scratches Cole's chest. Melissa aims one gun at Piper & speaks.
Melissa: Cole's not your problem, mom, & you know it.
Piper goes towards Melissa ready to attack her.
Melissa: Stop right there or I'll shoot.
Not listening Piper continues advancing forward. Melissa fires a warning shoot which just grazes the
couch behind missing Piper. Horrified Paige calls for the book.
Paige: Book!
The Book of Shadows orbs to her. She starts flipping through it.
Paige: Please let there be something in here.
Melissa: I don't wanna do this mom.
She aims at Piper next. Cole gets an energy ball ready to shoot Piper.
Melissa: Cole, don't!
He stops the energy ball. Melissa continues talking to Piper whilst still holding the gun.
Melissa: I know what you think mom. You think I abandoned you. You think it's my fault aunt Prue &
Phoebe died. You blame me only you won't admit it.
Piper grabbing the gun throws it away then sends Melissa flying straight into a cabinet, smashing it. Piper
goes over to Paige.
Paige: You don't wanna kill me, Piper, you don't even know me.
Cole goes over to Melissa making sure she's alright.
Paige: The problem’s not about me or Mel is it really?
Melissa: Dad!
Leo orbs in. Piper tries to scratch Paige, but she orbs out & back in behind Piper. Piper spins around.
Paige: Mel's not the person who abandoned you. It's your sisters, isn't it?
Piper grabs Paige by the neck.
Melissa: Dad, do something.
Leo grabs Piper and Paige and orbs out.
Cole: Where'd he take them?
Melissa: To what mom's really angry at obviously.
San Francisco Monastery
Leo orbs in with Piper & Paige. Piper backs away when she sees Prue & Phoebe's plaques.
Paige: Tell them, Piper. It's all right to love them but hate them for dying also.
Piper tries to get out but the doors are locked.
Paige: You should do. When my parents died, I still loved them even though I hated them for dying also. I was alone, & I love & hated them for it. It is okay to feel that way about Phoebe & Prue.
Piper looks at Paige.
Piper: How dare you!
She runs over to Prue & Phoebe's plaques & bangs on them.
Piper: How dare you both go & die on me & leave me here all alone? Please come back. I need you both.
She starts crying.
Piper: (Crying) Please come back.
She screams & sinks down on the ground. Piper sits there & bawls. She changes back to normal. Leo
kneels down beside her.
Leo: Its, okay honey. It's okay.
Piper: No Leo it's not okay. They risked their whole lives never thinking what would happen to Mel or me
if they went.
Paige starts crying for the sisters she never knew.
Leo: I know sweetie.
Piper: How could they both think I could live without them?
Leo hugs her. Tears well up in Paige's, eyes as she looks at Prue & Phoebe's plaques.
Cole's Room Thursday Tenth September
Cole & Melissa are bagging up Phoebe's things into black bags.
Cole: So everything went alright in the end?
Melissa: Eventually yeah. Paige's a lot tougher than she makes out.
Cole smiles at her.
Cole: (Smiling) yeah well she’s a Halliwell isn’t she so she can take on anything.
Melissa: Yeah she can.
She looks at some stuff laid out beside her.
Melissa: Hey do you want me to bung all this jewellery in there?
Melissa points to the black bag in front of her.
Cole: If you want unless you or Piper, want it of course or anything else here.
Melissa: I don't know. It'd feel weird wearing her stuff you know.
Cole: No that's okay I understand. I was just asking.
Melissa: That's alright. It's good you're donating all this to the Salvation Army.
Cole: Yeah well it's what Phoebe would've done & as I said we can't hang onto their stuff forever
otherwise we won't move on.
Melissa smiles at him.
Melissa: (Smiling) Exactly.
Looking at Phoebe's stuff Cole pauses.
Cole: Its goanna be so final you know when all this is gone.
Melissa touches his right shoulder sympathetically.
Melissa: Yeah but you can still keep some of her stuff.
Cole: Like the picture of me & her in the park last winter.
Melissa: Precisely.
Looking down at the photo he cries.
Cole: (Crying) God I miss her so much.
Pulling him close Melissa hugs him.
Melissa: I know you do. But you'll still have me, mom, dad & Paige.
Cole: Yeah of course.
Pulling away Melissa looks at him.
Melissa: Okay I'm just, goanna go downstairs & get some more bags. Will you be alright here?
Cole nods his head at her.
Cole: I will be.
Melissa: Good I'll be back soon.
Getting up off the floor she leaves the room.
Lounge
Sometime later Mel’s on the couch there updating the 'Personal Gain' entry in the book of shadows for
future witches to read when Piper's walks in with a cup of coffee.
Piper: Hey sweetie what're you doing?
Looking up her daughter answers.
Melissa: Updating the personal gain entry in the book of shadows so there's a more descriptive view on
what magic can & can't be used for that our future descendants can read so that what happened recently
doesn’t happen again.
Piper nods her head in agreement.
Piper: That’s good yeah.
Melissa: So how did you sleep last time alright then?
Piper: Yeah, I did actually better than I have in a while.
Melissa: Oh right I see.
Leo orbs in from Elder land.
Piper: Hey honey what're you doing here then?
Leo: Looking for Mel actually. I've a message from the Elders.
Melissa: Oh yeah what did they want exactly?
Leo: They want you to teach Paige actually.
Melissa: Teach Paige what?
Leo: How to be half white-lighter & develop her powers.
Piper: Why can't you do that Leo?
Leo: Because I’ve other charges Piper & Mel's more experienced in that area so they thought it was
better if you don't, mind doing it that is.
Melissa: No I don't mind.
Leo: Thanks sweetie.
Melissa: That's okay. God its quiet, without Aunt Prue & Phoebe isn't it? Early & late it's just really, really
quiet.
Piper: Yeah Prue was always the first one up & Phoebe was the last, then Phoebe was the first one down
& Prue was the last. God it's strange, the things you miss. So, how scary was I?
Leo & Melissa laughs. Piper sits next to them.
Leo: Heck, I've seen worse.
Melissa: & I've been worse. But Paige wow.
Piper: She completely freaked.
Leo: No, she handled it... better than most people would. She saved your life. She's definitely a Halliwell,
last name or no.
Piper: I know I haven't been the most welcoming & I don't blame you Mel for nearly shooting me it's just
I miss your aunts so much & find it hard opening up to someone else. With everything that happens in
our lives, love just feels like an invitation for more pain.
Melissa: I know yes but if we’re ever goanna vanquish the Source & Shax.
Piper: I need to let Paige in I get it. So how do I do that then?
Melissa: Well maybe you don't start with love. Maybe you just start with thanks.

Piper walks in holding a basket of muffins. She spots Paige at her desk & walks over to her. She puts the
basket on her desk. Paige looks up surprised at her. She looks in the basket.
Paige: Muffins. Thanks.
Piper: Busywork. I'm best in the kitchen. Prue was the one that chased demons & I & Phoebe followed
her.
Paige sees Donnie.
Paige: Man, he's like a whole new Donnie. Wow that memory dust must really work then.
Piper looks over at Donnie. He smiles & walks past them.
Piper: Yes it does. He's a miracle worker, that husband of mine.
Paige: So, how're you?
Piper: I've had, bad hours.
She sits down.
Piper: & hours that aren't quite so bad. I guess you know how it is.
Paige: Yeah. When my parents died, there were days when I didn't think I'd quite survive the sadness.
It'll never be okay that their gone, Piper. But I promise you it'll get better.
Piper: Yeah that's what Mel said also.
Paige: Hey no wonder her, & Cole get on so well together.
Piper: Well when you were together in the future & had kids also you will do.
Paige's shocked hearing this.
Paige: (Shocked) Mel & Cole were together when?
Piper: In her future years after me, Prue & Phoebe died. She doesn't really talk about it.
Paige: Wow, are there anymore secrets I should know about.
Piper: Not really no.
Piper sees scratches on Paige's neck.
Piper: You know Leo could fix that for you.
Paige: Na it's my first war wound. I think I'll wear it with pride.
Piper: Unfortunately in this family, it won't be the last.
Paige: Well, every family has its pros & its cons. A couple of demon battles in exchange for the power to
clear up my friend's skin, help? I'd say it's worth it.
Piper: The power to what?
They see Lila & Billy chatting across the room. Lila flirts a little.
Paige: He's cute, isn't he? Well, you should've seen him yesterday.
Paige laughs.
Piper: Okay, you saved my life, so I guess we're even on the Book of Shadows swipe, but, Paige, there
are rules to being a witch, rules that you'll have to learn & follow.
Paige: Well, not to be difficult, but... you're married to our White lighter & have a half demon living with
you. So, on balance, maybe my friend can stay cute?
Piper: Okay.
Mr. Cowan comes up to them.
Mr. Cowan: My, my, my. That pile looks about the same size as it did about an hour ago.
Piper stands up.
Piper: Oh, that was my fault. I distracted her with muffins.
Mr. Cowan: & you are?
Piper looks at Paige then back at Mr. Cowan.
Piper: I'm her sister.
Piper smiles at Paige & leaves the office. Paige smiles a little to herself.
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: Episode three sees Piper on a demon rampage & her powers going wonky which land her in
trouble when she's turned into a Fury after been attacked by some of them leaving Paige, Cole & Melissa
to save her. Paige steals the Book Of Shadows & uses it on some of her work colleagues, Cole & Melissa
grow closer together & Melissa becomes Paige's white lighter trainer when the Elders ask her to teach
Paige that side of her.
Episode Three Wednesday Ninth September
Melissa's Green Jeep Liberty
Piper, Cole & Melissa are inside Melissa's new Green Jeep Liberty which screeches round a corner. Cole's
driving up front with Piper in the passenger seat & Melissa's sitting behind spotting a brand new short
golden brown flicked out bob.
Piper:Okay, turn left up here. & can you step on the gas a little?
Cole screeches round another corner, nearly hitting a taxi. Turning round Melissa yelps out as the taxi
driver honks his horn at them. She apologises to him thorough her opened window.
Melissa: Sorry, sorry.
Turning round she pats Cole on the shoulder.
Melissa: Jesus Cole watch, where you're driving will you. I've only just brought this recently you know.
Cole: Okay then you, drive Mel.
Piper: Sweetie, the demon won't wait around for us to go vanquish him.
Melissa: Mom hello we don't even know if we've the power to vanquish him. Scrying for random evil tells
us nothing.
Piper: It tells us where the demons are & since we vanquished two already this week, I say it's working
pretty well.
Melissa: You call wrapping your car around a pole working pretty well.
Piper: Well it got the demon.
Melissa: Yeah thanks to Cole saving our butts. Two witches & a half demon, does not the Power of Three
make.
Piper: So what're we supposed to do? Sit around & wait for them to pick us all off? If we didn't go after
them, they'd come after us.
Cole: They're coming after you anyway, Piper. The Source's coming after you & Shax's still alive.
Melissa: & we won't be ready for either of them because instead of teaching Paige how to be a witch,
we're out hunting for every Tom, Dick & Beelzebub in San Francisco & Kit's missing also which we should
be putting up fliers about.
Cole: Okay guys do we've a plan here or?
Piper: The plans to vanquish the demon.
Cole: Great. Any chance you've mastered your powers yet or are you still freezing & exploding at
random?
Piper looking at him speaks.
Piper: Random, but you know what they say, there's nothing like field practice. Turn here!
Cole screeches round another corner & drives down an alley. Coming out he turns into in a disused area.
Piper: Stop!
Cole slams on the breaks. A bald demon in front of them's strangling a man. Piper, Cole & Melissa get
outta the car.
Piper: Hey! Big scary demon!
The demon turns around & the man escapes from his grip & runs away. Piper tries to freeze/blow him up
but hits a dumpster behind him instead. Seeing what's happened the demon turns round grinning. His
eyes glow bright red.
Piper: Oh, oh.
The demon starts strangling Piper with his power. Holding her neck with her hands Piper coughs loudly &
sinks to the floor. Acting quickly Melissa pulls a gun outta her pocket & aims it at the demon's head.
Melissa: HEY!
Looking at her the demon sees a multiple vanquishing potion bullet fly outta the thingy piece & go into his
head making him groan in pain & feel bloated, His face turns red.
Cole: Whoa he's goanna blow!
He & Melissa run back into the car & close the doors. The demon explodes & green goo splats on the front
windscreen & sides of the doors. Cole turns on the windscreen wipers. Piper alright now walks over to the
car & opens up the passenger door.
Piper: Next!
She grins & gets in the car. Cole & Melissa look at each other not believing what happened, then at Piper,
who's still grinning.

Paige's Desk South Bay Social Services
Paige's at her desk reading Witches & Witchcraft book. You hear her talking in a voiceover.
Paige: (In Her Head) throughout history, witches have been misunderstood, persecuted & destroyed. The
public hanging, downing's, & burning of women suspected of witchcrafts a far more recent chapter of our
history then most people realise.
Her boss Bob Cowan comes up to her.
Mr. Cowan: Paige.
Paige quickly puts down the book & picks up a folder.
Paige: Yeah?
Mr. Cowan: What's the hold up on the O'Brien application?
Paige: Well, at the moment, the only things my boss standing over me distracting me from my work.
She smiles awkwardly.
Mr. Cowan: Nice teeth. Have it on my desk by noon.
He walks away. Paige whispers to an employee standing across the room.
Paige: Lila! What's the O'Brien application?
Lila: Adam O'Brien, the foster kid we're trying to get into the boarding school.
Paige: Oh my god.
Lila: Paige the scholarship applications due, like, today.
Paige: Ah I'm so lame.
Billy, a young guy with bad acne, pushes the mail cart in front of Paige's desk. He puts her mail on her
desk.
Paige: Aw, Billy, I thought I told you to throw anything from creditors in the trash.
He smiles. A man Donnie approaches him.
Donnie: Hi, Pizza-face. Look, I understand how difficult it is to tear yourself’ away from the cleavage in
this section.
He looks at Paige.
Donnie: But I'm goanna need my mail sometime today. Okay?
Billy: No problem.
Donnie: Go, go.
Billy walks away. Donnie gives Paige a sleazy look which she doesn't like & walks across the room.
Paige: Nice rug.
Donnie's toupee orbs off his head & into Paige's hand, revealing his bald spot.
Donnie: What the hell?
Donnie looks around. Paige's shocked & drops the toupee in a trash can. Everyone laughs & giggles at
Donnie. He covers his head with a sheet of paper and walks away. Paige quickly leaves her desk.
Attic
Piper, Cole & Melissa are there. Piper crosses out a page in the Book of Shadows while Phoebe looks on.
Melissa: Okay, I know you're happy we got him mom, but is it necessary to disfigure the book?
Piper: Hmm, this one could choke people & incinerate their flesh with his eyes. Wow that must sting.
Hearing this Melissa looks at the book shocked.
Melissa: (Shocked) Oh my god.
Piper: Yeah I know.
Melissa: Mom this isn't funny.
Piper: Oh come on sweetie.
Cole: Mel's right Piper. You're lucky she shot that demon.
Piper: Hey it's not my fault if she went in all guns blazing now is it?
Cole: Mel had no choice. Her powers aren't active as yours & Paige's are so she needs extra protection.
Piper: Well if she hadn't swapped powers with Phoebe in the first place she wouldn't need them.
Melissa: Hey you know I can't help that mom. Under the circumstances & the way things were going I
had no choice.
Piper: Everyone has a choice Mel.
Cole: Including you Piper. You could've gotten yourself killed. Do you know that?
He walks over to Piper.
Piper: Yes, Cole, I know killed very well.
Cole: Then why do you wanna keep risking your life & Mel's, not to mention mine? There's a legion of
Bounty Hunters on my ass & I'm supposed to be lying low but instead I'm out protecting you guys.
Piper: You know what, Cole? Next time, you can stay home.
Cole: Not if you're going on these suicide missions, I won't because even if you don't think you need
protecting Mel does.
The doorbell rings downstairs.
Cole: & I'm not goanna let her loose, her life or watch her loose her mom's as well.
Melissa goes over to him & touches his shoulder.
Melissa: Cole hey would you mind, go seeing whose, at the door for us, whilst me, & mom have a little
chat?
Cole: Sure. If it's the Source, or Shax I'll just ask them to come back later. (To Melissa) We need to talk.
He leaves the attic. Melissa turning round talks to Piper.
Melissa: Cole's right mom. We have a system for fighting demons which's worked pretty well this last
year.
Piper: I think my sisters being killed counts as a pretty big glitch in the system.
Melissa: Look I know you're angry mom & I understand why you're doing this.
Piper: Then w-why are you fighting me on this? What-what's the problem with getting a little proactive?
Melissa: Because we're not ready to get proactive. We're not ready for anything. I'm still trying to handle
aunt, Phoebe's powers & your ones are going wonky. & then there's our, other lives also.
Piper: Which's, my point entirely. The faster we get rid of these demons, the faster we get back to our
normal lives or at least what's left of them.
The attic door opens & Paige walks in.
Paige: Knock, knock. Hi sorry if I've dropped by unannounced.
She notices Melissa's new hairstyle.
Paige: Wow hey you've changed your hair. That looks great.
Melissa: Thanks yeah & don't worry about it. This's your house now to Paige. You've every right to come
here.
Paige: Thanks. I don't know why I'm here exactly. I suppose I'm just kinder having a hard time being
surrounded by people &.
Melissa: Not being able to tell them your half white lighter/half witch who can orb & move things with
your mind & heal people also with help.
Paige giggles uncertainly.
Paige: (Laughing) yeah it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Piper picks up a map & a crystal.
Melissa: Well being a witch can be tough on friendships. I should know my cousins & I had the same
problem but then been a family we had each other to talk to. My mom, aunt Prue & Aunt Phoebe had that
also which came in very handy.
Turning left she notices what Piper's got.
Melissa: Mom what're you doing?
Piper: Well it's getting a little chatty up here, so I'm goanna go scry for evil in my bedroom okay?
Hearing this Paige looks confused.
Paige: (Confused) Scry?
Piper heads for the door.
Piper: Yeah, it's um. I'll let Mel explain that to you. I'll see you later.
She leaves the attic.
Melissa: It's basically a supernatural Lo-Jack that helps you locate someone you're looking for. You need
a map a crystal & most importantly something that belongs to the person otherwise it won't work. You tie
the person's thing to the end of crystal then hang it over the map & swing it round till the magical energy pulls you to point where the person is.
Paige: Well can't you just use that big book for it? I mean, it's a book of spells, right?
Paige walks over to the Book.
Melissa: Yes but it's much more than that. It's hard to explain though.
Paige: It looks so old.
Melissa: Well actually it dates back to the Salem witch trials so you can't get any older than that then.
Paige: Wow.
Melissa: Yeah our ancestor Melinda Warren first started it then it passed down through every generation
until it reached my mom & Aunts then my cousins & me.
Paige: God it must be very powerful to survive that long. Wonder what its secret is?
Melissa: The book has a protection spell which Melinda cast to protect itself from evil.
Paige: Protect itself. How?
Melissa: If someone evil tries to take it, it flies outta their hand or falls off the pedestal & moves away. Or
if the books open it'll close & do the same thing.
Paige: So someone like Cole can't touch it for example even though he's half human.
Melissa: No because he's half demon also which's what the book senses.
Paige: What about anyone good can they touch it besides us?
Melissa: Yes. Which's why we keep the attic locked when we're not home or someone's here unless it's
dad or Darryl whom we know of course.
Paige: Oh right.
Touching the cover Paige fingers it caressingly.
Paige: What's this?
She points to the triquetra symbol in the middle.
Melissa: That's called the triquetra which symbolises the power of three. The top stands for telekinesis,
the left molecular stasis & the right premonitions or the father, son & Holy Spirit if you wanna go all neo-
pagan like.
Sliding her top down Melissa shows Paige the same image she's got tattooed of that on her back.
Melissa: I have it tattooed on my back also.
Paige: Why?
Melissa: Because it reminds me who I am. My cousins had that also. I've got other tattoos of my future
kid's names one of an angel reminding me of my former white lighter side & another of Sam my former
fiancé which I haven't got removed yet.
Paige's intrigued hearing this.
Paige: (Intrigued) Wow you were engaged? What happened?
Melissa: When my Aunts died I was afraid I wouldn't live to see Shax vanquished so I split up with him
which’s a good thing really considering. Then me, & mom found you of course & things changed.
Paige: Do you wanna get back with him?
Thinking about it Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking Head) I can't. As much as I love Sam we've got the Source & Shax to vanquish which I
need a clear head to do so.
Paige looks at her sympathetically.
Paige: I'm sorry.
Melissa: That's alright. I'm not giving up on men completely just taking a hiatus till that's sorted out. Besides there's plenty of more fish Paige.
Thinking about that Paige answers.
Paige: True. May I?
Melissa: If you want yes. It's your book also so you can look at it anytime you want. I'd walk you through
it right now, but I have to talk to Cole.
Paige: Well, maybe I can take it to my office then.
Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking Her Head) Oh, no, no, no, no. The book doesn't leave the house. That's a big rule here.
But feel free to thumb through it though & I'll be back in a few minutes.
Melissa leaves the attic. Paige flips through the Book & stops at an Instant Karma Spell.
Paige: Oh wow this could solve a lot of problems.
She gets some Post-it notes out & a pen & starts writing down the spell.
Sunroom
Cole & Melissa are waiting there for Leo to orb in which he does soon afterwards.
Leo: What is it? What's wrong?
Cole: You've got to talk to your wife Leo.
Melissa: Cole, remember what I said about being gentle?
Leo: What about my wife?
Cole: She's outta control.
Melissa: Cole!
Leo: What?
Melissa: We're just worried about mom that's all.
Leo: Why?
Melissa: Because she's very, very angry.
Leo: Well, of course she's angry. She's grieving.
Melissa: & if she were punching through walls, I'd happily fix that but.
Cole: Instead she's punching through demons.
Leo: Okay I'll talk to her.
Cole moves closer to Leo.
Cole: Leo she has no regard for her own life or anyone else's. She's Charles Bronson, cubed.
Leo looks at Cole little angry.
Leo: (Angry) I said I'd talk to her.
Melissa stands in between them two.
Melissa: Guys, can we not refer mom to Charles Bronson please thank you. Now Cole can me & dad have
a minute alone please?
Cole: Sure.
Melissa: Thank you.
Cole leaves the room as Leo & Melissa walk in the lounge.
Lounge
They sit on the couch there.
Melissa: It's not just that she's violent, dad. She's not acting like herself. She's completely dismissive of
Paige & her powers are wonky. She would've died earlier had I not shot the demon because she didn't
know he could choke people & incinerate them with his eyes. She had a go at me for that even though
my powers aren't active as hers are. It takes a lot of time, money & effort to buy & make those bullets
dad.
Looking at her he sympathises.
Leo: I know sweetie.
Melissa: But mom doesn't. She doesn't understand that & I don't know what to do anymore.
Leo: Its strange how you used to know what to do been their white lighter & all but now things have changed & you’re having, to do two roles at the moment been their mediator & leader.
Melissa: Yeah & I'm finding it hard to do. In the future I was just mediator between Patty & Ben.
Leo: Well you knew what to do there because you knew & lived with them. Here it's different as you don't
know Paige yet.
Melissa: Which I'd like to do & need to, to form the family bond thing so we can really become the power
of three but mom won't let me.
Leo: Not a lot of fun, huh?
Melissa: There not jobs I'd have asked for. & I'm not sure I'll be any good at them but I just, don't really
have time to worry about that right now.
Leo: I'll talk to her.
Melissa: Thanks, dad.
They hug.
Melissa: Although not to rush this tender moment, but she's already started scrying for evil upstairs in
her room.
Leo orbs out & Melissa falls, head first on the couch. She looks upward.
Melissa: Hey you don't have to show of you, know.
Attic
Paige has Post-it notes stuck all over the Book of Shadows. Running outta Post-its she looks around.
Getting an idea, Paige closes the Book & carries it to the window.
Paige: Okay, book, protect yourself.
She opens the window & drops the Book of Shadows out. It lands on the grass.
Melissa calls up from downstairs.
Melissa: (From Downstairs) Paige! I'll be right up!
Paige heads for the door.
Stairs
Melissa's nearly at the top as Paige comes around the corner nearly bumping into her.
Melissa: Hey!
Paige: Hey!
Melissa laughs.
Melissa: (Laughing) what's the rush?
They walk downstairs.
Paige: Uh, work you know. Lunch break's over. Gotta, go.
Melissa: But we haven't even talked yet.
Paige: Oh that's alright. Don't worry about it.
Melissa: Well maybe you can come by later then.
Paige: Sure yeah whatever. Bye.
She waves & leaves.
Melissa: Bye.
She looks upstairs suspiciously.
Melissa: Hmm that's weird.
Then feels, her dog Lucky stroke his head against her leg. Turning round she strokes him.
Melissa: Yeah boy I know.
Piper & Leo's Room
Piper's scrying there with Leo standing nearby her.
Leo: Honey listen, it's not just that it's dangerous risking your own life but it's dangerous risking Mel's
also.
Piper: Leo, White lighters are supposed to guide. Not judge. Just because I'm doing things a little
different doesn't mean there's a problem.
She drops the crystal.
Leo: Piper, I'm your husband, not just you're White lighter & when you speak to me or our daughter like
that there is a problem. You powers are wonky & I can't help you unless you talk to me.
Piper: It hurts to talk, Leo. It hurts to breathe. So unless you've some idea how to bring my sisters back,
then I don't wanna talk about it.
Leo: Is that what you don't wanna say? Or is it that you blame Mel still for swapping powers with Phoebe
& for elder Sandra not being able to heal her & Prue.
Piper: No, Leo. I don't blame them. I blame evil. Why-why do you think I'm doing all this? For, kicks?
Leo: Honestly, I think you're doing it because it's easier than confronting what you're really feeling.
Piper starts scrying again & the crystal points to a place on the map.
Piper: Demon.
Leo: What?
Piper: I've got work to do.
She walks outta the room shouting.
Piper: (Shouting) Cole, Mel! Let's go!
Copy Room
Paige's there, trying to copy the Book of Shadows. Donnie walks in checks out Paige's butt & fixes his
toupee.
Donnie: Nothing like a copy room with a view.
He pours himself some coffee. Paige straightens up. Billy walks in.
Donnie: Hey Clearasil, what's popping?
Donnie laughs & leaves the room.
Paige: Don't worry about him, Billy. He's a jerk to everyone.
Billy: Yeah, I know. That's why his mail gets lost... frequently.
Paige, smiles.
Paige: Hey, is there something wrong with this copier?
Billy: No I don't think so. I just ran a whole bunch off.
Paige: Everything keeps coming up blank.
Billy: Are you trying to copy a book?
She pushes the lid of the copier down trying to hide it.
Paige: Nah, it's nothing really. It's cool.
Billy: Well, if you need me to do it for you, just say the word.
Paige: Thanks. You're sweet.
He smiles shyly & pours’ some coffee. Paige turns over the Book of Shadows & whispers the Vanishing
Spell.
Paige: (Whispering) LET THE OBJECT OF THE OBJECTION BECOME BUT A DREAM, AS I CAUSE THE TO BE
UNSEEN.
Billy groans as a magical light surrounds his face.
Paige: You okay, Billy?
Billy: Yeah. I just, uh, got a little head rush.
He turns around showing that his acne has cleared to Paige.
Paige: Oh my god, it worked.
She closes up the Book.
Paige: Oh my god.
She picks it up & goes over to Billy.
Billy: Paige is everything alright?
Paige: It will be from now on.
She kisses him on the cheek & leaves. Billy, smiles.
Alleyway
Cole, Piper & Melissa are walking down there.
Melissa: Okay mom, Cole & I do not support this. & if you insist on doing it, then you are going in alone.
Piper: Alright. I'll see you at home.
Melissa: (To Cole) I told you that wouldn't work.
Cole: Well it was worth a shot.
Stopping suddenly Melissa smells something.
Melissa: Wait a minute. Do you smell smoke?
The other two stop then.
Piper: It's coming from in there.
Piper points to a large wooden door. There's smoke rising from underneath it. A man calls out from
inside.
Man:(From Inside) What is that? What is it? Stop! Stop!
Cole walks over to the door.
Cole: Who is that?
He sees Piper moving forward.
Cole: What're you doing?
Piper: Get back, I'll blow it up. Go on.
Cole backs away from the door & Piper freezes Cole & the smoke.
Melissa: Uh, mom.
Piper: Yeah, yeah. Crap. Okay.
Piper takes off her coat & throws it on the ground. She wiggles her arms to relax herself then uses her
power. The door blows up, sending Cole flying across the alley, landing on a car & falling off on the
ground.
Melissa: Mom!
She runs over to Cole.
Piper: What? Oh!
A man runs outside, knocking Piper over. Three furies follow. Phoebe helps Cole up. Piper gets ready to
use her power.
Cole: Piper, let them go!
Piper blows up a car in front of the Furies. They turn around.
Piper: Uh-oh.
Piper tries to freeze them but freezes Cole instead again.
Piper: They're-they're, they're immune to my powers.
Melissa: Unfortunately, Cole isn't.
A Fury attacks Piper but she dodges their hits. Another goes for Melissa. Piper picks up a trash can lid &
the Fury puts a hole in it. Melissa ducks kneeing a Fury in the chest then grabbing it swings it round & kicks the Fury outta the way. A second one comes up behind her as the other Fury gets up off the floor. Seeing them either end Melissa's astral form projects in behind one fury & swipes her leg at it as her real self concentrates on the second one with an athame. The two girls dish out their own brand of justice with an array of fury knife swipes, kicks & punches till getting them close together real Melissa pulls out two multiple vanquishing guns cross ways & fires bullets from them which they dodge smoking out then in behind grabbing both Melissa's & trying to smoke them.
Melissa: (Coughing, gasping) Mom, unfreeze Cole.
Piper: What if I blow him up?
Cole unfreezes. Seeing Melissa he throws an energy ball at Fury one behind astral Melissa destroying
her. Fury two disappears whilst number three knocks Piper down & blows smoke in her mouth. She
coughs.
Melissa: Cole!
Cole throws an energy ball engulfing the Fury in flames. Piper continues to cough.
Hallway
Entering in Melissa deactivates the burglar alarm as Cole closes the front door. Melissa goes off to
retrieve Lucky from outside the garden.
Piper: Okay I'm goanna take out those chain-smokin' cancer bitches if it's the last thing I do.
Cole: It might be the last thing you do Piper.
Piper: That's real supporting Cole. Whose side you on?
Cole: At the moment Mel's.
Piper coughs. Cole follows her into the kitchen.
Kitchen
Coming in Piper, talks as Melissa's feeding Lucky.
Piper: Well, last time I checked, Mel's my daughter, which technically puts her on my side so why are we
arguing?
Melissa: We're not arguing, mom we're discussing. You're arguing. & you're already hurt.
Piper: Mel I'm fine.
She takes a water bottle out of the fridge & has a sip.
Melissa: No you’re not you're coughing like you've got bronchitis.
Cole: & you're out fighting demons when you should be, laying low.
Melissa: Right getting to know Paige & teaching her the craft so that we can vanquish Shax & the Source.
Cole: Whilst sorting out your emotions also so that you can regain control of your powers.
He & Piper walk outta the kitchen. Melissa talks to Lucky.
Melissa: Stay there boy.
She follows them as Lucky continues eating.
Dining Room
They go through the Dining Room.
Cole: Which we need especially with those demons.
Piper: My emotions are completely in check Cole maybe it's you two who should be sorting them out.
Melissa: Excuse me?
Piper: Well you didn't cry at Prue & Phoebe's funeral & you're already bagging Phoebe's stuff up when she
hasn't even been dead five minutes so you tell me who needs help.
Melissa: Hang on you know, already why I didn't cry at their funeral.
Cole: & Phoebe was my girlfriend so it's my decision whether I get rid of her stuff or not.
Piper: No Cole it's mine. She was my sister.
Cole: & you'll never do it Piper just like you won't do it with Prue. We can't hang onto their stuff forever
otherwise we'll never move on which's exactly what you should do with these demons.
Piper: Hey I'm doing this because it's what we do we eliminate evil.
They stop at the bottom of the stairs.
Cole: Regardless of the consequences. Now you sound like Prue.
Piper: Okay, Cole. I'm goanna vanquish the cancer girls with or without your help. So either tell me what
you know or get outta the way.
Cole looks at Melissa. She shrugs her shoulders.
Cole: They're called Furies.
Piper: & those are?
Melissa: They were three spirits of vengeance in Geek mythology. They lived in the underworld &
punished all evildoers either with madness or insanity.
Cole: Exactly but these ones are modern knockoffs though their mo's still the same.
Piper: They punish evildoers?
Cole: Yeah. Although beware these Furies have no temperance. They'll go after a shoplifter as soon as a
murderer & they take great pleasure in the kill.
Piper: Then we'll take great pleasure in the, vanquish.
Piper goes up the stairs Melissa stands in front of Cole.
Melissa: You're worried aren't you encase they, come after you. Have they done that before?
Cole: No but when they focus their thoughts on you, they force you to hear the cries of all your former
victims.
Melissa: Yeah I know. The Greek Furies did that also. Besides you're not the demon who did those things
anymore.
Piper screams from upstairs. Cole & Melissa go upstairs.
Attic
Piper's standing in front of the empty Book of Shadows mouth open in shock.
Piper: Evil got the Book of Shadows. How did evil get the Book of Shadows?
Realising what's happened Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Oh, no.
Piper: Oh, no, sweetie? A demon has the Book of Shadows. Oh no doesn't cover it.
Cole: I'll go see what I can find out.
He turns to leave but Melissa stops him.
Melissa: No, wait. Alright mom, if I tell you what happened will you promise me you won't overreact.
Piper: That depends on what you tell me.
Melissa: Okay well I think it might be feasible that, uh, Paige borrowed the book.
Piper: (Angry) She, she did what? Why would you let her do that?
Melissa: See now this is what I meant about overreacting. It's just that...
Cole: You let Paige take the Book of Shadows outta the Manor?
Melissa: No of course not. She knew we don't do that. It's just she left pretty quickly & obviously threw it.
She looks at the open window.
Piper: (Angry) Outta the window?
Melissa: Mom, I don't...
Piper: (Angry) Mel, why would you even leave her alone with it?
Melissa: Because she's family.
Piper looks at her coldly.
Piper: No she isn't.
She storms outta the room. Melissa shouts out after her.
Melissa: (Shouting) Mom!
She follows her. Cole pulls up a chair & sits down on it. Melissa runs back in.
Melissa: Are you coming?
Cole: To vanquish you're Aunt? No thanks I think I'll sit this one out.
Melissa runs back out & Cole sits there twiddling his thumbs.
South Bay Social Services
Lila's looking at Billy's face.
Lila: It's unbelievable.
Billy: Maybe it was the light from the copy machine.
They start to walk through the office. Billy's pushing the mail cart.
Lila: God, this day's amazing. I mean, you went & got cute...
Billy: You think?
Lila: Totally. & then my car loan comes through, like, outta nowhere.
They pass Paige's desk. Paige's on the phone smiling.
Lila: My credits worse than Paige's. You know, I still can't believe all of this.
Billy: It's amazing.
Billy & Lila walk away.
Paige: (on phone) Sir, I take full responsibility for being late with the application. I'm just simply asking
for a deadline extension.
Man: (on phone) Well, I can't give you a deadline extension.
Paige: Look I'm asking that you not punish Adam O'Brien who's already had a tough enough life for my
mistake. (Listens) Sir, all I'm saying is…
She looks down at the Book of Shadows which's sitting on her lap & says the spell written out.
Paige: THESE WORDS WILL TRAVEL THROUGH THE MINDS OF STUBBORN PARTIES & UNBIND, THE
THOUGHTS TOO RIGID TO BE KIND, A COMPROMISE THEY'LL DISENTWINE.
The spell has an effect on the man on the phone.
Man: (on phone) how does six o'clock on Friday sound?
Paige: Six o'clock Friday's perfect. Thank you so much.
She hangs up.
Paige: Victory!
Lila & Billy look over at her.
Lila: You got the extension?
Paige: Yep.
Lila walks over to her.
Lila: Unbelievable. You're into all that witchy stuff, right?
Hearing this Paige looks at her a little awkwardly.
Paige: (Awkward) Excuse me?
Lila: Well, I'm just thinking there must be something in the stars today. I mean, Billy's face, my car, now
this. Is there a full moon or something?
Trying not to look too suspicious Paige quickly thinks of an excuse.
Paige: I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm goanna call my student loan sharks & take full advantage of
it.
Lila: Ooh yeah me too.
Paige laughs. Lila walks away. Donnie comes up to her & stands behind her.
Donnie: You know, Paige?
He talks in her ear.
Donnie: As a lawyer, I can so easily get those nasty creditors off your back. & if you can't pay me back,
we can always take it out in trade.
Paige: Or I could just sue your ass for sexual harassment & pay you with my fat punitive settlement.
Donnie: The way you dress, the judge would admire my restraint.
He walks away.
Paige: That's it.
She finds the Instant Karma Spell in the Book of Shadows & looks up smiling.
Paige: Perfect. I'll just change demon to dirt bag.
Outside South Bay Social Services
Melissa parks her car up then she & Piper get out & Melissa locks it then they both walk towards the
building.
Piper: I don't understand how anyone can be that stupid.
Melissa: Well I don't understand why you haven't stopped ranting since we left the house.
Piper: You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.
Melissa: Yes, Paige made a mistake.
Piper: A mistake? She stole from us.
Melissa: She borrowed. Okay borrowed.
Piper: She threw our family heritage outta the window!
Melissa: Only because we haven't really explained the significance of the book to her which's part of what
we should be doing by teaching her the craft.
Piper: Okay, sweetie, it's not just a book alright. It's like, part of our family.
Piper coughs. Melissa puts her arm around Piper.
Melissa Paige's not a killer. She hasn't killed anyone. & she's not a demon we're out to vanquish.
Piper: I get that, sweetie
Melissa: I don't think you do mom because the way you're behaving you could wind up killing an
innocent.
Piper: Highly unlikely.
She coughs.
Melissa: You alright?
Donnie runs outta the building with a bunch of women following him.
Donnie: Hey! Hey! Get away from me!
They surround him.
Piper: What the hell's going on?
Lila: Come on. Give Mama some sugar.
He sinks to the ground & they fall all over him. Paige comes, outta the building holding her bag so it
covers her chest. She goes over to Piper & Phoebe.
Piper: You are so...
They notice something wrong & open her coat to reveal her very large breasts.
Melissa: Busted? Whoa hello there as big as mine.
Piper: You stole our sacred book so you could perform magical plastic surgery on yourself?
Paige: You think I did this on purpose? My body was perfectly fine just as it was. Thank you.
Donnie calls out again from underneath the crowd.
Donnie: I mean it! Get away from me!
Piper freezes the crowd.
Melissa: Mom, you could've just blown up a dozen innocent people.
Piper: I took a chance.
Melissa: See? Are you listening to yourself?
Piper: (to Paige) what happened?
Paige: I don't know. They just... grew.
Piper: & you had nothing to do with that.
Melissa: Did you cast any spells?
Paige looks quizzical.
Paige: (Quizzical) Why?
Melissa: Because if you did that would explain everything.
Paige: I may've cast one.
Melissa gives her a look.
Paige: Or Four.
Piper: Four?
Melissa: Okay, then what did you do just before you turned into Betty Boop?
Paige: Well, the last spell I cast was the one on this slime ball I work with so I could give him a taste of his own medicine.
Melissa: Uh-huh.
Turning round Melissa, points to Donnie.
Melissa: That the slime ball?
Paige looks at Donnie & nods.
Paige: Yeah?
Piper: & that's the backfire.
Paige: Backfire?
Melissa: You misused magic to make him the object of ogling, & the spell backfired & did the same thing
to you. It's called personal gain.
Paige: But the guys a creep I mean you should see him.
Melissa: That maybe but we can’t use our powers like that to punish the guilty even if the person is a
creep.
Paige shrugs her shoulders a little confused.
Paige: Why not?
Melissa: Because that's not what magic’s used for Paige.
Piper: Which you would've learned had you'd bothered to ask. But now instead of vanquishing demons,
we're goanna have to spend the afternoon fixing your mess.
Paige sighs out aloud.
Paige: Okay I’m sorry.
Melissa: Alright, mom, call dad & get him to orb whomever home. We'll have to protect him till we figure
out how to reverse the spell. Paige & I will grab the book & meet you there.
Piper looks at Paige & shakes her head. She walks away. Melissa calls out to her.
Melissa: & make sure you don't crash my car.
Paige looks down at her breasts.
Paige's Car
Paige & Melissa are driving down the road in Paige's light green Volkswagen Beetle. Paige's driving whilst
Melissa's sitting in the passenger seat looking through the Book of Shadows.
Paige: Are my boobs goanna stay this way forever?
Melissa: Not if I find a reversal spell.
Paige: What about your mom? Is she goanna stay mad at me forever?
Melissa: No. It's just um... she hasn't really been herself lately. You know a lot of ups & downs since her
sisters.
Paige: I understand. The last thing I wanted to do was add to your guys' stress. I just wanted to get back at Donnie.
Melissa: I know you did Paige. & I understand the temptation, I really do.
Paige: You do?
Melissa: Uh hmm.
Pausing a second she remembers something that happened in the future.
Melissa: In the future after my cousins & my adopted families died & we fought out we were witches all
we thought about at first was getting them back. We fought an ancient book containing dark magic & a
spell which could resurrect people. Of course we didn't know when we cast it that they'd become zombie's
& wouldn't remember anything of their former lives.
Hearing this Paige looks shocked.
Paige: (Shocked) Oh my god.
Melissa: Yeah seeing the way they were we couldn't let them live like that so we reversed the spell &
sent them back but it taught us a lot about personal gain & what happens if you abuse it which's why the
Book Of Shadows never leaves the house.
Paige: Right. Sorry.
She tries to change into third gear but has a little trouble.
Paige: My boobs are in the way. Can you put it into third for me?
Melissa: Yeah sure. Ready? Here we go.
Melissa moves the gearstick into third. The tyres screech.
Paige: Thanks.
Melissa: No worries.
Paige looks at Melissa quickly before turning back & speaks.
Paige: Hey how do you cope like this when you're driving?
Melissa: I drive auto like mom does. Can't, stand gears. & my cars a lot bigger & my seats back further so
it doesn't encroach on my boobs.
Paige: Oh right. Hey have you found the spell yet?
Melissa finds a page about Furies.
Melissa: No, but I have found the demons. Oh sweet lord.
Paige: What? You can't say "demons" followed by "Oh sweet lord". I'm new at this, I'm likely to panic.
Melissa: Okay, uh, fury smoke kills bad guys, but in good people, it looks for a portal of unexpressed fury.
Paige: &?
Melissa: It builds until it consumes your humanity & turns you into a Fury. This must be what Cole meant
about the modern knock off from the Greek myth.
Paige: What?
Melissa: Um, we fought the Furies today & mom got smoked.
Paige: Wait. Are you saying that Piper's turning into a demon?
Melissa: Well from what my aunts told me it wouldn't be the first time.
Paige gives her a funny look.
Melissa: Okay uh, step on it & hit the clutch. I'm going into fourth. Ready? On three. One two three.
She changes to fourth which makes them go faster.
Lounge
Donnie lands on the couch.
Leo: Easy, Piper.
Piper: What're you protecting him now?
Donnie: Wh-wh-what the hell’s going on? & what's with the chicks? They've gone crazy.
Piper: This chick just saved your ass you snivelling ingrate.
Donnie gets up.
Donnie: Do you see what I mean?
Piper: Who said you could get up?
She pushes him over the back of the couch.
Leo: What's the matter with you? Okay, honey look, I don't know what's going on, but we really need to
talk.
Piper: Leo, you know what? I'm sick of talking.
Piper blows Leo up but he reassembles himself & orbs back in. Piper goes over to Donnie. Leo orbs back
in.
Leo: Now we really need to talk. Piper, you do not use your powers on me or a mortal.
He stands behind her.
Leo: Do you hear me?
Cole stands at the doorway.
Cole: Back away slowly, Leo. She's becoming a Fury.
Leo: What?
Piper grows large black fingernails.
Cole: There's no reasoning with her now.
Leo stands in front of her.
Leo: Piper, you're a good witch. Do you hear me? Fight this.
Piper touches his face, & pushes him over the couch.
Donnie: Oh God! Help!
Piper goes over & scratches Donnie. Cole gets a low level energy ball ready. Piper picks up Donnie &
blows smoke. Cole throws the energy ball at Piper which pushes her back. Paige & Melissa walk in.
Melissa: Cole!
Cole: I, well...
Piper looks at the crowd angrily.
Piper: (Angry) that wasn't very nice.
She smokes outta the room.
Lounge
Time lapse later Melissa's looking through the Book of Shadows, as Leo's kneeling beside Donnie, who's
asleep on the couch.
Leo: Cole hit her with an energy ball.
Melissa: Dad it was a low voltage one.
Leo: Oh yeah what about the time he hit you huh?
Paige looks shocked hearing this.
Paige: (Shocked) Cole hit you?
Melissa: He was trying to make sure this gang called The Brotherhood didn't suspect him & he apologised.
Leo: Well he didn't this time.
Melissa: Yeah because he knew what you'd say that's why. Besides would you prefer he'd let her kill an
innocent?
Leo: I'd prefer that he wouldn't use his demonic powers on my wife. I can't believe that you let him go
look for her.
Paige: Oh, this all my fault. I shouldn't have stolen the Book of Shadows.
Leo turns round looking at Paige shocked.
Leo: You stole the Book of Shadows?
Melissa: Dad please you need to calm down & focus okay. Now heal Donnie's wounds.
Leo heals Donnie's scratches.
Melissa: I just hope Cole finds her fast because if this is like the time I turned into a Banshee, she's
goanna be hungry for a kill.
Leo stands up.
Paige: I'm sorry you turned into a what?
Melissa: A Banshee.
Turning the Books of Shadows Melissa shows Paige what she means.
Melissa: Here.
Paige: Oh my god they really look like that?
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: Yep.
Paige: & they really do this?
Melissa: It happened after my future changed completely. I had a hard time getting used to my new life &
one of them sensed that & homed in on me.
Paige: Why didn't it kill you?
Melissa: Because like it says what I wrote at the bottom with witches you turn into Banshee's instead of
dying & if you kill just one person you stay a Banshee forever.
Paige: Okay I need to sit down.
She sits on the couch next to Donnie. Donnie wakes & sits up & stares straight at Paige's breasts.
Donnie: Whoa.
Paige punches him in the face, knocking him out.
Leo: Paige!
Paige stands up.
Paige: What? You only said I couldn't use magic to punish him.
Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Okay, dad, orb Donnie back to his office, heal him there, & make sure he doesn't nark us out for
being witches.
Leo: How?
Melissa: Use memory dust on him.
Paige: Memory dust?
Melissa: White lighter powder that makes people forget things depending how much is used obviously.
Leo: Which can, only be used in emergencies.
Melissa: Which this is or do you want what happened to Aunt Prue & Aunt Phoebe happen again?
Relieving that moment Leo talks.
Leo: No.
Melissa: Right then.
Leo: What about your mother?
Melissa: Well you do your job. & we'll do our okay? We'll get mom back. I promise.
Leo touches Donnie & they orb out. Paige & Melissa sit on the couch.
Paige: Um, I hate to ask, but how're we goanna get his wife back? I mean, she's kinder full-on demon.
Phoebe: No she blew dad up with her witch powers meaning she's a hybrid like Cole & she doesn't have
the talons yet. That comes with the first kill. Besides, if my aunts saved her when she turned into a
Wendigo...
Paige: I'm sorry a Wendi-what?
Melissa: A Wenidgo
She flips the book to the right page.
Melissa: Here.
Paige looks at the picture.
Paige: Err, he looks like a Werewolf.
Melissa: They sorter are but a lot meaner. There killed by fire. My ex fiancée & his brother got one last
year.
Paige: Wow there witches to?
Melissa: No hunters. There humans who kill demons & other supernatural beings like us but with
weapons not powers.
She finds the Instant Karma Spell afterwards.
Melissa: Okay is this the spell you used?
Paige: Uh-huh.
Melissa picks up a notepad & pen.
Paige: Is there some sorter spell I could do, you know, in advance so I could, uh, not become maybe a
Banshee or...
Melissa: Unfortunately not although there are charms & warding tattoo’s which can protect you from
being possessed by demons.
Hearing this Paige looks shocked.
Paige: Wait demons can possess you?
Mel nods her head.
Melissa: Depending on your mood yes which’s what makes you vulnerable to them & how they get in
although there is a spell in the book of shadows that will dispossess them & another one ordained by the
Roman Catholic Church if the first one doesn’t work then which hunters use mainly.
Paige: Wow I don’t believe it.
Mel nods her head again.
Melissa: Yeah. So what word did you sub demon with?
Paige: Dirt bag. Why? Whaddya doing?
Melissa: Trying to write a spell of my own because there isn't one in the book. Although Aunt Phoebe was
the spell master in the family not me. I wish she could help me. Okay Mel get, your thinking cap on.
She writes something down & scrunches up the paper up. Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Right.
She gets Paige to stand up.
Melissa: Paige give, me your hand.
They join hands. She burns the tip of the paper with a lit candle.
Melissa: Okay I hope this works. GUIDED SPIRITS, HEAR OUR PLEA, ANNUL THIS MAGIC LET, IT BE.
Paige: Please let it be.
Paige's breasts return to normal size. Melissa looks excited as the spells worked.
Melissa: (Excited) Whoa it worked great.
Paige looks down & groans.
Paige: Do you think maybe a little too well?
Alleyway
A man pushes another man against the wall. He holds a knife to his throat.
Innocent man: I'll give you anything you want.
Man: Shut up.
Two Furies come up behind him & one scratches his back. He spins around & the innocent runs away. The
man hears voices in his head. He drops the knife & falls to his knees. The Fury blows smoke in his mouth.
He coughs & is engulfed in flames. He disappears. Piper smokes in behind them. They turn around
making purring-like noises.
Piper: I've been looking for you.
Dining Room
Paige & Melissa are there. Melissa's scrying.
Melissa: Come on.
Paige: Why isn't it working?
Melissa: Because mom's not a witch anymore.
Paige: But I thought you said she was a hybrid?
Melissa: She has to be full blood for us to scry for her.
Paige: Well can't you just scry for evil then?
Melissa: Do you know how much evil's running around San Francisco right now?
She stops scrying.
Melissa: Err, mom.
Cole shimmers in. He's bruised & scratched.
Looking up Melissa sees him.
Melissa: Cole. Thank God.
She goes over & touches his right arm.
Cole: Don't thank me yet.
Paige: You didn't find her?
Cole: I didn't get a chance to. Every time I used my sensing powers, a bounty hunter sensed me. I fought
off three of them.
He sits down at the table.
Cole: I'm sorry.
Melissa sits next to him smiling.
Melissa: That's okay.
Paige: How if we can't find her?
Cole: What haven't you tried getting Paige to sense her yet?
Paige: Sense? What do you mean?
Melissa: Cole means that as a half white lighter you have the ability to sense evil as well as good.
Paige: Then why don't we try it?
Melissa: Because mom's angry not evil.
Cole: Great now what?
Thinking Paige comes up with an idea.
Paige: Hey you know that spell Piper cast which found me.
Melissa: The call a lost witch spell? But I said mom's not a witch anymore.
Paige. True, but if I was able to substitute the word 'dirtbag' for 'demon', then why can't we substitute the
word 'Halliwell' for 'witch' since although we're not classed by that namely we are though by blood?
Cole: Would that work?
Melissa: Well, no. Not if she's already looking for a kill. The call won't be strong enough.
Paige: Why not?
Melissa: Because of the pull of evil. When I was a Banshee I felt everyone's pain & the need to kill them
was so great it took my dad to stop me from doing that & without something like that I don't think she'll
answer the call.
There's silence.
Paige: Then we'll add bait.
Paige glances at Cole then looks at Melissa. Melissa looks at Cole & he looks back.
Melissa: What're you kidding me? No.
Paige: The Furies go after evildoers, right?
Melissa: Paige, we can't use Cole as bait. Not when he's hurt.
Cole: Oh, yes we can. It's perfect.
He stands up & goes near Paige.
Melissa: Cole, you've been a demon for over a century. That's a lot of victims. The pain of their cries
alone will kill you.
Cole: Yes, but like you said, I'm not that demon anymore. & if facing my crimes helps saves Piper.
Melissa: Cole, I...
He sits back down next to her.
Cole: Mel I'd do almost anything for your family. I owe that to Phoebe. But I will not be a coward for you.
Please don't ask me to be.
Nodding her head Melissa agrees.
Melissa: Alright then we'll need some of your blood.
Cole: Okay.
Paige: Knife.
A knife orbs from the table & into Paige's hand. She holds it out in front of Cole. Time lapse later Paige &
Melissa are staring down at the Book Of Shadows. Melissa's holding a knife above a lit candle.
Paige/Melissa: POWER OF THE HALLIWELL'S RISE, COURSE UNSEEN ACROSS THE SKIES, COME TO US
WHO CALL YOU NEAR.
Alleyway
The Furies are touching Piper's hair. Piper's wearing fury clothes & has talons on her face. She hears
Paige & Melissa chanting.
Paige/Melissa: COME TO US & SETTLE HERE. BLOOD TO BLOOD WE SUMMON THEE, BLOOD TO BLOOD
RETURN TO ME.
Piper: I know where evil dwells.
Hallway
Paige, Melissa & Cole are there. Cole's pacing as Paige's looking at Melissa's guns down in her side arms.
Melissa notices them.
Melissa: Are you okay Paige?
Paige: Yeah I'm just not friendly with guns.
Melissa: Oh there just for my protection Paige as my powers aren't active as your's & mom's are. Don't
worry I won't use them unless I have to.
Paige: Okay.
Turning round she looks at Cole.
Melissa: Are you sure about this?
Cole: I'm good at a lot of things. Waiting's not one of them.
Paige makes a noise & throws her arms down.
Melissa: What are you doing Paige?
Paige: I'm trying to do that orb thingy you & Leo could do. But I can't seem to get the hang of it, though.
Melissa: You won't, not yet. It takes quite a while to learn to do that.
Cole: Or you can just.
Cole yells in Paige's face which makes her scream & orb out then back in afterwards.
Cole: Do that of course.
Paige: What happened?
Melissa: Cole made you orb by fear response.
Paige: Really?
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: Yep. So you may've to do that until me & dad can teach you how to do it probably.
Paige: Alright that shouldn't be too difficult.
Melissa: Good. Then we'll orb, astral project, & juggle knives if we have to long enough to keep the
Furies distracted from Cole.
Paige: Okay but how do we un-demon Piper when she gets here?
Melissa: Well, we do the same thing dad did with me when I was a Banshee we get her to admit what's
wrong & close the portal of unexpressed fury.
Cole: Unexpressed? She's been raging for days.
Melissa: That's 'cause there's something she's not saying which she needs to.
Paige: Which's what?
Melissa: I think I've an idea what.
Cole yells out in pain & drops to his knees. He hears voices. Melissa kneels beside him.
Melissa: (Concerned) Cole.
Cole: They're close?
Paige gets scared & orbs out again. Melissa stands up.
Melissa: Paige?
Paige orbs back in.
Paige: I did it again.
Cole: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
A Fury barges in through the front door. Melissa goes towards her & kicks her, away knocking her down.
She gets up & attacks Melissa. Melissa blocks a few times & kicks her back down. She pulls out one of her
guns & aims it at the Fury. Piper & the other Fury appear behind Melissa near Cole. Paige calls out.
Paige: Mel!
Melissa spins around & sees them two. Projecting in behind them astral Melissa speaks.
Astral Melissa: Nice decoy, mom but your goanna have to do better than that.
She kicks her away from Cole then does the same with the other. Real Melissa goes over to Cole as her
astral self gangs up on Piper & the Fury.
Real Melissa: Cole. Come on. Come on.
Another Fury smokes in it front of Cole & real Melissa.
Paige: Lamp!
The lamp orbs, out & flies across the room hitting the Fury. She turns around.
Paige: Sorry.
The Fury goes over to her.
Paige: Really sorry.
Cole throws an energy ball at the Fury killing it then aims another at the Fury fighting alongside Piper
with astral Melissa killing that one also. Astral Melissa disappears then Piper pushes real Melissa outta the
way & scratches Cole's chest. Melissa aims one gun at Piper & speaks.
Melissa: Cole's not your problem, mom, & you know it.
Piper goes towards Melissa ready to attack her.
Melissa: Stop right there or I'll shoot.
Not listening Piper continues advancing forward. Melissa fires a warning shoot which just grazes the
couch behind missing Piper. Horrified Paige calls for the book.
Paige: Book!
The Book of Shadows orbs to her. She starts flipping through it.
Paige: Please let there be something in here.
Melissa: I don't wanna do this mom.
She aims at Piper next. Cole gets an energy ball ready to shoot Piper.
Melissa: Cole, don't!
He stops the energy ball. Melissa continues talking to Piper whilst still holding the gun.
Melissa: I know what you think mom. You think I abandoned you. You think it's my fault aunt Prue &
Phoebe died. You blame me only you won't admit it.
Piper grabbing the gun throws it away then sends Melissa flying straight into a cabinet, smashing it. Piper
goes over to Paige.
Paige: You don't wanna kill me, Piper, you don't even know me.
Cole goes over to Melissa making sure she's alright.
Paige: The problem’s not about me or Mel is it really?
Melissa: Dad!
Leo orbs in. Piper tries to scratch Paige, but she orbs out & back in behind Piper. Piper spins around.
Paige: Mel's not the person who abandoned you. It's your sisters, isn't it?
Piper grabs Paige by the neck.
Melissa: Dad, do something.
Leo grabs Piper and Paige and orbs out.
Cole: Where'd he take them?
Melissa: To what mom's really angry at obviously.
San Francisco Monastery
Leo orbs in with Piper & Paige. Piper backs away when she sees Prue & Phoebe's plaques.
Paige: Tell them, Piper. It's all right to love them but hate them for dying also.
Piper tries to get out but the doors are locked.
Paige: You should do. When my parents died, I still loved them even though I hated them for dying also. I was alone, & I love & hated them for it. It is okay to feel that way about Phoebe & Prue.
Piper looks at Paige.
Piper: How dare you!
She runs over to Prue & Phoebe's plaques & bangs on them.
Piper: How dare you both go & die on me & leave me here all alone? Please come back. I need you both.
She starts crying.
Piper: (Crying) Please come back.
She screams & sinks down on the ground. Piper sits there & bawls. She changes back to normal. Leo
kneels down beside her.
Leo: Its, okay honey. It's okay.
Piper: No Leo it's not okay. They risked their whole lives never thinking what would happen to Mel or me
if they went.
Paige starts crying for the sisters she never knew.
Leo: I know sweetie.
Piper: How could they both think I could live without them?
Leo hugs her. Tears well up in Paige's, eyes as she looks at Prue & Phoebe's plaques.
Cole's Room Thursday Tenth September
Cole & Melissa are bagging up Phoebe's things into black bags.
Cole: So everything went alright in the end?
Melissa: Eventually yeah. Paige's a lot tougher than she makes out.
Cole smiles at her.
Cole: (Smiling) yeah well she’s a Halliwell isn’t she so she can take on anything.
Melissa: Yeah she can.
She looks at some stuff laid out beside her.
Melissa: Hey do you want me to bung all this jewellery in there?
Melissa points to the black bag in front of her.
Cole: If you want unless you or Piper, want it of course or anything else here.
Melissa: I don't know. It'd feel weird wearing her stuff you know.
Cole: No that's okay I understand. I was just asking.
Melissa: That's alright. It's good you're donating all this to the Salvation Army.
Cole: Yeah well it's what Phoebe would've done & as I said we can't hang onto their stuff forever
otherwise we won't move on.
Melissa smiles at him.
Melissa: (Smiling) Exactly.
Looking at Phoebe's stuff Cole pauses.
Cole: Its goanna be so final you know when all this is gone.
Melissa touches his right shoulder sympathetically.
Melissa: Yeah but you can still keep some of her stuff.
Cole: Like the picture of me & her in the park last winter.
Melissa: Precisely.
Looking down at the photo he cries.
Cole: (Crying) God I miss her so much.
Pulling him close Melissa hugs him.
Melissa: I know you do. But you'll still have me, mom, dad & Paige.
Cole: Yeah of course.
Pulling away Melissa looks at him.
Melissa: Okay I'm just, goanna go downstairs & get some more bags. Will you be alright here?
Cole nods his head at her.
Cole: I will be.
Melissa: Good I'll be back soon.
Getting up off the floor she leaves the room.
Lounge
Sometime later Mel’s on the couch there updating the 'Personal Gain' entry in the book of shadows for
future witches to read when Piper's walks in with a cup of coffee.
Piper: Hey sweetie what're you doing?
Looking up her daughter answers.
Melissa: Updating the personal gain entry in the book of shadows so there's a more descriptive view on
what magic can & can't be used for that our future descendants can read so that what happened recently
doesn’t happen again.
Piper nods her head in agreement.
Piper: That’s good yeah.
Melissa: So how did you sleep last time alright then?
Piper: Yeah, I did actually better than I have in a while.
Melissa: Oh right I see.
Leo orbs in from Elder land.
Piper: Hey honey what're you doing here then?
Leo: Looking for Mel actually. I've a message from the Elders.
Melissa: Oh yeah what did they want exactly?
Leo: They want you to teach Paige actually.
Melissa: Teach Paige what?
Leo: How to be half white-lighter & develop her powers.
Piper: Why can't you do that Leo?
Leo: Because I’ve other charges Piper & Mel's more experienced in that area so they thought it was
better if you don't, mind doing it that is.
Melissa: No I don't mind.
Leo: Thanks sweetie.
Melissa: That's okay. God its quiet, without Aunt Prue & Phoebe isn't it? Early & late it's just really, really
quiet.
Piper: Yeah Prue was always the first one up & Phoebe was the last, then Phoebe was the first one down
& Prue was the last. God it's strange, the things you miss. So, how scary was I?
Leo & Melissa laughs. Piper sits next to them.
Leo: Heck, I've seen worse.
Melissa: & I've been worse. But Paige wow.
Piper: She completely freaked.
Leo: No, she handled it... better than most people would. She saved your life. She's definitely a Halliwell,
last name or no.
Piper: I know I haven't been the most welcoming & I don't blame you Mel for nearly shooting me it's just
I miss your aunts so much & find it hard opening up to someone else. With everything that happens in
our lives, love just feels like an invitation for more pain.
Melissa: I know yes but if we’re ever goanna vanquish the Source & Shax.
Piper: I need to let Paige in I get it. So how do I do that then?
Melissa: Well maybe you don't start with love. Maybe you just start with thanks.
South Bay Social Services
Piper walks in holding a basket of muffins. She spots Paige at her desk & walks over to her. She puts the
basket on her desk. Paige looks up surprised at her. She looks in the basket.
Paige: Muffins. Thanks.
Piper: Busywork. I'm best in the kitchen. Prue was the one that chased demons & I & Phoebe followed
her.
Paige sees Donnie.
Paige: Man, he's like a whole new Donnie. Wow that memory dust must really work then.
Piper looks over at Donnie. He smiles & walks past them.
Piper: Yes it does. He's a miracle worker, that husband of mine.
Paige: So, how're you?
Piper: I've had, bad hours.
She sits down.
Piper: & hours that aren't quite so bad. I guess you know how it is.
Paige: Yeah. When my parents died, there were days when I didn't think I'd quite survive the sadness.
It'll never be okay that their gone, Piper. But I promise you it'll get better.
Piper: Yeah that's what Mel said also.
Paige: Hey no wonder her, & Cole get on so well together.
Piper: Well when you were together in the future & had kids also you will do.
Paige's shocked hearing this.
Paige: (Shocked) Mel & Cole were together when?
Piper: In her future years after me, Prue & Phoebe died. She doesn't really talk about it.
Paige: Wow, are there anymore secrets I should know about.
Piper: Not really no.
Piper sees scratches on Paige's neck.
Piper: You know Leo could fix that for you.
Paige: Na it's my first war wound. I think I'll wear it with pride.
Piper: Unfortunately in this family, it won't be the last.
Paige: Well, every family has its pros & its cons. A couple of demon battles in exchange for the power to
clear up my friend's skin, help? I'd say it's worth it.
Piper: The power to what?
They see Lila & Billy chatting across the room. Lila flirts a little.
Paige: He's cute, isn't he? Well, you should've seen him yesterday.
Paige laughs.
Piper: Okay, you saved my life, so I guess we're even on the Book of Shadows swipe, but, Paige, there
are rules to being a witch, rules that you'll have to learn & follow.
Paige: Well, not to be difficult, but... you're married to our White lighter & have a half demon living with
you. So, on balance, maybe my friend can stay cute?
Piper: Okay.
Mr. Cowan comes up to them.
Mr. Cowan: My, my, my. That pile looks about the same size as it did about an hour ago.
Piper stands up.
Piper: Oh, that was my fault. I distracted her with muffins.
Mr. Cowan: & you are?
Piper looks at Paige then back at Mr. Cowan.
Piper: I'm her sister.
Piper smiles at Paige & leaves the office. Paige smiles a little to herself.
The End
