Cut to:
EXT. MANOR - NIGHT
The front door of the manor opens and we see Phoebe who is wearing all black.

Phoebe: Hey Paige, you're home early.

Paige (walking to front door): (confused) Am I? I thought I was late.

Paige looks at her watch and Phoebe walks away from the door into the sitting room. Paige follows.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - NIGHT
Paige (Looking around the room): So where's Piper?

Phoebe: Oh she's... around.

Paige: Oh, okay...

Phoebe looks at Paige and smiles.

Paige: What?

Phoebe: Nothing.

Paige: So where are the boys and Leo?

Phoebe: Oh... um... They're at Magic School...

Paige: Okay, bu...

There is a loud crash from the kitchen which startles Phoebe and Paige. They run to see what it was.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - NIGHT
Paige (Looking around kitchen): (Spooked) What was that?

Phoebe: I don't know. (shouting) Piper? Leo? (Back to Paige) Guess it wasn't them then.

Paige: (Confused) Guess not. Phoebe, what's wrong?

Phoebe: What do ya mean? I'm fine!

Paige: I don't think you are, you're all jumpy and I thought you said Leo was at Magic School?

Phoebe: I'm not jumpy and he is... (Changing subject) I'm just happy.

Paige just watches Phoebe for a second. A demon, wearing all black, shimmers in with his back to the sisters.

Paige: (Shouting) DEMON!

Phoebe: I can see.

Paige (Holding hand out): Knife!

Phoebe: No!

Phoebe pushes Paige to the floor.

Paige (Laid on floor): Ow! What the hell is wrong with you Phoebe?

The demon turns around and we see his face. Phoebe smiles.

Paige: Cole! But... how...

Phoebe then wraps her arms around him and kisses him.

Paige (Getting up of floor): Phoebe... What...

Piper and Leo orb in.

Paige (To Piper): I'm so glad you're here.

Piper: (Panicking) Why? What's happened?

Paige points towards Phoebe and Cole who are still kissing.

Piper: What? They are married!

Paige: (Confused) WHAT!

Leo: (Softly) Did you hit your head again Paige?

Paige: No! Leo!... (Softly) Piper...

Phoebe and Cole stop kissing and Cole uses his powers to shimmer Paige outside. Piper and Leo laugh.

Cut to:
EXT. MANOR - NIGHT
Paige lands on the ground with a thud.

Paige: What the hell just happened!

We then see a shot of Phoebe, Cole, Piper and Leo in the kitchen - all talking and laughing.

---------------------------------------------------
Act 1
INT. DEMONIC CAVE - ETERNAL NIGHT
We see Zankou and 2 other demons.

Zankou: So it all went to plan then?

Demon #1: Yes master, it has begun.

Zankou: Good, I'm glad you finally got something right.

The demon bows his head.

Zankou: Now go! I need to do some more research.

Demon #2: Yes sir, we will go and keep an eye on the sisters.

Zankou: Yes, you do that.

Cut to:
Shots of the outside of the manor.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - PAIGE'S BEDROOM - DAY
Paige is waking up and has a small cut on her forehead.

Paige (Getting out of bed): Ow...

She stands in front of her mirror and examines the cut; there is a knock on her door. The door opens and we see Phoebe.

Phoebe: Hey honey, are you okay?

Paige: Stay away Phoebe!

Phoebe (Alarmed): Paige, what's wrong?

Paige: You... you're evil!

Phoebe looks at Paige as if to say she is crazy.

Phoebe (Sarcastic): I love you too.

Piper then walks into the bedroom.

Piper: Hey guys, what's up?

Phoebe: Paige thinks I'm evil.

Piper: Again?

Phoebe laughs.

Phoebe: Yeh.

Paige: I don't think it, I know it! Both of you are! And Leo!

Phoebe walks closer to Paige and tries to put her hands on Paige's shoulders but Paige moves away from her.

Phoebe: Oh Paige, you need to relax. You must have just dreamt we were evil because... (Phoebe looks at Piper) We are not evil!

Piper: How did you cut your head?

Paige: When Cole shimmered me outside and I tried to get back into the house but I cou...

Phoebe (Confused): Cole? Now we know that that really can't have happened.

Phoebe looks at Piper for confirmation but Piper remembers what had happened a few nights ago and just stares blankly for a while before replying.

Piper: Of course. Cole isn't alive - and he never will be... again.

Paige sits on her bed looking relieved.

Paige: I guess. I bet you guys think I'm pretty mad, huh?

The three sisters all laugh.

Phoebe: It's okay, we've all been there before. I mean, if Cole was back - we would know!

Paige: Yeh.

Paige smiles.

Cut to:
INT. DEMONIC CAVE - ETERNAL NIGHT
We see Zankou who is chanting. He walks towards a cage filled with darkness but has a demon trapped inside, and stops chanting.

Zankou: You have no idea what you have caused.

The demon (who we don't see the front of) grunts.

Zankou (Slowly begins to smile): It's brilliant.

Zankou laughs evilly and starts chanting again.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY
Leo is feeding Chris and Wyatt. Piper comes into the kitchen.

Piper: So, are you feeling any better?

Leo: I'm getting used to it. I'm just worried that if either you or your sisters get hurt... I can't heal you anymore.

Piper: We'll cope. If it gets really bad - Wyatt can heal us.

Leo picks Wyatt up and holds him.

Leo: Yeh, (To Wyatt) he's a clever boy for healing Mummy.

Piper smiles.

Piper: (To Wyatt) Our little man is so clever.

Wyatt giggles. Phoebe comes into the kitchen.

Phoebe: Well I have to get off to work. Piper you should keep an eye on Paige 'cause even though she said it must have just been a dream I'm not sure that she truly believes that.

Piper: Yeh, I'll keep an eye on her.

Leo (Who was feeding Chris): What's wrong with Paige?

Phoebe: Oh she just had a bad drea...

Piper: Yeh, Cole was in it.

Leo (Looks at Phoebe then back to Piper): Oh.

Phoebe: I still think that there's something she isn't telling us.

Piper: What do you mean?

Phoebe: I don't know. It just feels like she didn't tell us the whole story of what happened in the dream. And how did she get that cut?

Piper: That's a point. Maybe she did it in her sleep.

Phoebe: Yeh, maybe. Or maybe there's something else...

Piper: Such as?

Phoebe: I don't know. Well I'm gonna be late, so sorry, I have to go.

Piper: Well have fun at work.

Phoebe (Smiling): I always do.

Phoebe kisses Wyatt and Chris on the cheek and walks out of the kitchen.

Leo: Do you think there's something more?

Piper: I'm not sure. But...

Leo: What? You look worried.

Piper: Oh it's nothing. So what have you got planned for today?

Leo (Notices that Piper is still looking worried): I'm just gonna spend the day with my two clever boys and my beautiful wife.

Piper: Oh well you can spend it with the boys but I have to go and get some more ingredients for a potion we're working on.

Leo (Disappointed): Oh, okay. Well, be careful.

Piper smiles.

Piper: I will.

She kisses Wyatt and Chris on the cheek and then kisses Leo goodbye and walks out of the kitchen.

The camera holds on Leo's face who now looks worried as he knows something is troubling Piper.

Cut to:
INT. EMPTY WAREHOUSE - DAY
We see the same two demons that were talking to Zankou earlier.

Demon #2 (Impatiently): Have you set it yet?

Demon #1: Nearly. These things are trickier than they look you know.

Demon #2: Just hurry up or someone might find us.

Demon #1: And by someone do you mean the Charmed ones?

Demon #2 (Snappy): Yes!

We see that Demon #1 is setting a metal device in the centre of the warehouse. He presses a button and a blue light comes on.

Demon #1: Done.

Demon #2: Good. We can get out of here now.

The two demons hear voices outside of the warehouse and quickly shimmer out.

Cut to:
INT. DEMONIC CAVE - ETERNAL NIGHT
We see Zankou again who is now sat on a rock near the cage reading from The Bay Mirror newspaper.

Zankou: (To caged demon) Listen to this; (Reading from newspaper) "Don't let your heart be broken by any man more than once, if a man breaks your heart in the first place, never go back to him as he is destined to do it again". She should listen to her own advice sometimes don't you think? Our Pheebs is such a little hypocrite sometimes.

Zankou laughs but the demon in the cage doesn't respond.

Zankou: I'm talking to you!

Zankou prods the trapped demon with a rusty metal rod that lied on the floor. The demon just 'growls' at Zankou.

Zankou: Well listen next time and you might learn something - something vital!

The camera holds on a close-up of the cage but we still only see the back of the demon.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY
We see Paige looking through the BOS. After a couple of moments she slams the book shut.

Paige (Angry): Nothing! Grams is there nothing you can do? Please… I need help!

She goes over to the sofa and lies down, she begins to cry softly. Suddenly something falls off the shelf next to the sofa. Paige wipes her eyes and goes to see what it is.

Paige: Thanks…

We see what it was that fell on the floor - an envelope with Paige’s name on it. Paige picks it up and opens it up - she finds a letter wrote on a tatty piece of paper.

Paige (Reading the letter out loud): If you are reading this then it must already be too late…

Paige looks confused but reads on.

Paige (Continuing the letter): Your sisters and Leo have turned evil and it won’t be long until you join them along with little Wyatt and Chris… (Paige looks even more confused) There is only one thing that you can do to end this nightmare…

Paige looks shocked and gasps.

Paige (Reading from letter): Kill Cole - for eternity this time. And then you must kill all other infected people - including your sisters...

A tear runs down Paige's face as she drops the letter and runs out of the attic.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - MAIN HALL - DAY - CONTINUOUS
Paige runs down the stairs.

Paige (Shouting): Phoebe! Piper! Damn it where are you both!

Leo comes into the hall from the kitchen.

Leo: Hey, Paige, what's wrong?

Leo puts his hand on Paige's shoulder but Paige moves backwards slowly and his hand slips off.

Paige (Angry): What's wrong! Well either the world is doomed or I’m having the worst nightmare ever where - oh! - the world IS DOOMED!

Leo: Is this to do with you dreaming of Cole? Because if it is, that really was just a dream.

Leo smiles at Paige but Paige just glares back at him.

Paige (Furious now): Leo, you would say that! You are evil too!

Leo: Pai…

Before he can finish her name Paige orbs out of the hall. Leo looks extremely worried and goes to check on Chris and Wyatt in the kitchen.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY - CONTINUOUS
Leo walks up to Chris who is sat in his high-chair.

Leo (In a “baby” voice): Auntie Paige has gone crazy hasn’t she.

Chris giggles. Leo goes to stroke his hair but his hand goes straight through him.

Leo (Alarmed): What the…

Baby Chris fades away and as Leo looks at Wyatt, he does exactly the same.

Leo (Panicking): No! No this can’t… No I won’t let this happen! Paige! I know you can hear me so just get back here NOW! PLEASE!

We hear a banging noise come from the sitting room. Leo runs out of the kitchen.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY - CONTINUOUS
Leo runs into the room. His eyes are filled with tears but he isn’t crying. He says Paige lying unconscious on the floor near the sofa. She has a huge gash on her shoulder.

Leo: Paige! Paige can you hear me? (He shakes her) What happened? (Shouting) Where are Wyatt and Chris?

Leo gets no response so he lifts her up and lays her on the couch. As he is doing this the same two demons from earlier shimmer in. Leo turns around to see that one of the demons is holding an athame that is covered in blood.

Demon #1 (To Demon #2): I knew she was a Charmed One!

Demon #2 (To Demon #1): Shut up! (To Leo) You keep your witch away and we won’t kill her - or her sisters.

Leo (Angry): You did this? What makes you think that I’ll make a deal with a demon?

Demon #1 (Snarling): Just keep her away from us!

Demon #2 drops the athame. Leo picks up the lamp from the table next to the sofa but as he is about to throw it the two demons shimmer back out leaving the athame. Leo puts the lamp down and Paige wakes up and coughs.

Paige (Faintly): Leo. I’m sorry… I don’t know how I could have thought that you were evil…

She tries to put her hand on his shoulder but he pulls back.

Leo (Angry): I can’t forgive you! Not now! (Shouting) Tell me where Wyatt and Chris are! NOW!

Paige (Alarmed): Leo, I don’t know… they were here bef...

Leo: Paige, don’t lie to me! I know you took them!

Paige looks scared of Leo.

Leo: Just tell me where they are and I can make things all better again!

Paige begins to sob.

Leo (Sarcastic): Oh did I upset you. I am so sorry but you have pushed all of us too far this time!

Leo walks to the other side of the room as Paige still sobs.

Paige: Leo… what... this isn’t you. What’s happened to you?

Leo walks back to the sofa, we see Paige look even more scared and alarmed than ever - Leo’s eyes are entirely black.

Leo (Demonic voice): I can’t put up with you any more!

Leo raises his hand and Paige gasps and puts her arms up in front of her face in defence. We see Paige glow orange then we see why - Leo has just flamed out. Paige doesn’t move, she just looks utterly stunned.

Finally got round to writing Act 2!! Sorry it took so long but here it is...
------------------

Act 2[/u]
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY
We see Paige lying unconscious on the sofa, still bleeding.

Cut to:
INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE - DAY
Phoebe is sat typing at her computer. Leo (who looks normal again) walks into the office and shuts the door behind him.

Phoebe (Startled): Leo! What's wrong? What are ya doing here?

Leo: I didn't want to bother Piper so I thought I’d come to you. It's about Paige... she's been saying that I’m evil and she's acting really weird...

Phoebe: Yeh? But there's something else isn't there?

Leo: What?

Phoebe: Look, I may not have my empath powers any more but I can still tell when people aren't saying what they really think... you're holding something back.

Leo: I... it's the boys.

Phoebe looks worried.

Leo: I think... Paige took them.

Phoebe (Panicking): You've lost Chris and Wyatt? Now I can see why you didn't go to Piper.

Leo just looks at Phoebe without moving or blinking.

Phoebe: And how do you know it was Paige anyway? I know she's been acting weird bu...

Leo (Interrupting): I know it was her! I was talking to her then she orbed out and when I went to check on the boys... the boys weren't there, only holograms of them.

Phoebe: I just don't see what Paige would get out of this.

Leo: Well she has been ranting that she saw Cole and she's been accusing Piper, me and you of being evil.

Phoebe: Yeh, but...

Elise enters Phoebe's office and interrupts Phoebe and Leo's conversation.

Phoebe: Elis...

Elise: Phoebe. I've told you before...

Phoebe looks blankly at Elise.

Elise: Look...

Elise shows Phoebe a copy of the Bay Mirror newspaper.

Elise: Can you see what's wrong with your article?

Phoebe: Er... I didn't make it funny enough?

Phoebe looks at Leo and he looks back at her as if to say "Hurry up".

Elise: Phoebe, this is no good. You can't tell someone to get over their ex-husband by having him took out by a bounty hunter!

Leo looks shocked and so does Phoebe.

Phoebe: I didn't...

Elise: First of all - that would be illegal!

Leo and Phoebe look at each other.

Elise: And we could have been sued for this! Luckily none of this edition were released, you better think yourself lucky! And Phoebe, sort whatever problems you have out, fast.

Phoebe: Elise, I didn't wr...

Elise (Interrupting): Phoebe, I don't expect to hear excuses from you. You're a grown woman and well... this (She looks at the newspaper) is just childish! Now get back to work and stop inviting your friends over here. Work isn't for social visits!

Elise leaves the office. Leo looks at Phoebe with a worried look.

Leo: Phoebe wh...

Phoebe: I didn't write that! I really didn't!

Phoebe looks confused for a moment then looks at Leo.

Phoebe: I bet Paige did this! I bet she put a curse on me!

Leo: Now Phoebe, why would she?

Phoebe: Hey! You're the one that's been saying she took Wyatt and Chris.

Leo is speechless.

Leo: We have to stop her!

Phoebe: I agree.

Phoebe stands up and her and Leo walk out of the Phoebe's office.

Cut to:
INT. THE BAY MIRROR - MAIN OFFICE - DAY - CONTINOUS
Phoebe and Leo are walking through the office.

Elise: Hey! Where are you going?

Phoebe (Bluntly): To sort my problem out!

Cut to:
INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE - DAY
The camera focuses on Phoebe's computer screen - all that is wrote is "Paige must die!" over and over again.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY
Paige is still unconscious on the sofa, her mobile is placed on the table and it is ringing. A shot shows that it is Phoebe phoning.

Cut to:
INT. MAGIC SHOP - DAY
Piper is trying to find a specific item from some over-cluttered shelves.

Piper (To the wise looking shopkeeper who is stood behind the counter): Excuse me, (The shopkeeper looks at her) hey Zilo, do you know where the blue mushroom powder is? I need it for a potion and I can’t find it anywhere.

Zilo: I haven’t been asked for that in an age, you must be making a powerful potion, no?

Piper: Yeh, my sisters and I have come across this demon, Zankou, you may have heard of him.

Zilo: Oh yes, I have heard he has great power.

Piper: Yeh, that’s the problem and that’s what this potion is for. We're hoping that we can make it strong enough to displace all of his magic for a moment so that we can vanquish him. Well, we also need to make another potion to get rid of his lackeys too!

Zilo: Oh and I’m sure you will - you always do.

Zilo smiles kindly and Piper smiles back. Zilo then looks at the shelves and gives a smile of satisfaction.

Zilo: Here it is - this should be enough for you to do what you intend.

Zilo hands Piper the small bag of blue mushroom powder.

Piper: Thanks so much!

Zilo: Oh, no problem my dear, anything to help the Charmed Ones.

Zilo smiles and Piper pays for the items that she has collected from the many shelves.

Zilo: Now, you be careful now and remember, things aren’t always as they seem.

Piper smiles even though she doesn’t know why Zilo said that last thing.

Piper: You be careful too, okay.

They both smile to each other and Piper leaves the shop.

Zilo (To himself): Such a sweet witch.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - HALLWAY - DAY
Phoebe and Leo walk into the hallway looking angry.

Phoebe: Paige! Where are you?

Leo: What if she's not here?

Phoebe: Oh she will be.

Cut to:
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY
Phoebe and Leo walk into the sitting room and see Paige still unconscious on the sofa.

Phoebe (Now worried): Paige, honey. Can you hear me?

We hear someone shut the manor’s front door.

Piper (Shouting from the hallway): Paige, Leo. I got the last ingredients we needed.

Piper walks into the Sitting Room. She looks shocked at the scene in front of her.

Piper: What the hell happened?

Phoebe: I don’t know, we got here and she was just laying here, I think that she's seriously hurt Piper.

Piper: Well is she breathing.

Leo checks to see if she is breathing.

Leo: Yes but only faintly.

Piper (Alarmed): Well why are you both just stood there? She could die! Why don’t you get Wyatt to heal her?

Phoebe and Leo exchange worried glances and Piper becomes suspicious.

Piper: What aren’t you telling me?

Leo: Well, see, after you and Phoebe went out, Paige came downstairs saying that "the world is doomed" and that I am evil... then she... well...

Phoebe (Cutting in): Leo thinks that Paige took the boys, Pip...

Piper (Laughing nervously): What? Why do you think that? Paige is lying here, unconscious, how could she have...

Leo (Cutting in): It’s just the way she was acting, like she really believes that we're evil.

Piper looks away and notices something on the floor.

Piper: Whose athame is this?

Piper shows it to Phoebe.

Phoebe: It isn’t ours because this has a weird symbol on it, look.

She shows the symbol to Piper, it looks like the triquetra but one of the points is missing.

Piper: Leo do you know anything about this?

Leo (Looking blank): No, I never noticed it before, maybe Paige brought it here.

Phoebe: Yeh maybe.

Piper (Calmly): Well, if Paige didn’t take the boys after all due to her being unconscious (Looks at Leo), maybe the demon or whoever left this athame behind took them.

Phoebe: Piper... aren't you worried about the boys?

Piper: Of course I am, it’s just I know that Wyatt can protect Chris and himself from evil.

Phoebe and Leo look at each other slightly worried about Piper.

Cut to:
INT. DEMONIC CAVE - ETERNAL NIGHT
The same two demons that attacked Paige and Leo earlier shimmer into the cave. Zankou is pacing up and down.

Zankou (Still pacing): Finally! Have you see anything interesting?

Demon #2: One sister, Paige, is seriously wounded and the ex-whitelighter and Phoebe were becoming suspicious of her but now they are merely worried for her safety.

Zankou (Looking angry): Oh.

Demon #1: But master, the seed is still there, is it not. Deep down, they still believe that some part of her is evil.

Demon #2: Yes and Paige believes that Phoebe, Piper and the ex-angel are evil.

Zankou: That’s a bit more relieving I suppose. What about Piper, is she worried about her children being kidnapped?

Demon #2: She is reacting in a unusual way.

Demon #1: Yes, she says that she is okay because she believes that the powerful one, Wyatt, will protect both him and his brother.

Zankou: So, Paige believed that her sisters and Leo were evil and then she got injured. Do you know how that happened?

Demon #2: Well, we had to intervene to make sure that the ex-angel knew what was at stake if the sisters attacked us.

Demon #1: It is true. However...

Zankou (Looking displeased): There’s a however?

Demon #1 (Looking scared of Zankou): Yes, erm… the athame which was used to injure the witch was left at the manor.

Zankou: What!

Demon #1: We're sorry.

Zankou: I should kill you with my own bare hands... but I won’t yet. The athame that you used had your symbol on didn’t it?

Demon #2: Yes it did, why?

Zankou: Because that means the sisters will probably use either the symbol or the athame to find you.

Demon #1: Is that a good thing?

Zankou: It is, when you have a secret weapon.

The two demons look at each other confused. Zankou walks over to the cage that holds the mysterious demon inside and opens the lock to free the demon. The demon stumbles out from the cage and steps into the light of the fire-torches but we don’t see his face.

Demon #2 (To Zankou): Is that who I think it is?

Zankou: Of course, wasn’t it obvious that he would be the secret weapon against the Charmed Ones!

The two demons begin to kneel on the ground in front of the demon as if worshipping him. The camera slowly moves up the body of the demon and as the camera begins to show the demon's face, Zankou speaks.

Zankou: Cole.

The camera shows a close-up of Cole's face, he looks petrified as if he has been tortured endlessly for centuries.

Cole (Looking distressed): Phoebe...

The close-up shot of Cole fades to black.
