Primose Empath Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa.
Authors Notes: This is my series of charmed going from season two to seven all stories will be the same as that on the show except seasons two and three, which will class as one year because of Dan and Cole the rest will continue as normal.
Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn’t die Darryl Morris Triad Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who works for the Triad. I’ll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they’ll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.
Extra Note: This episode’s the same as Primose Empath except for a few added or changed scenes and the fact Melissa’s the one cursed with empathy not Prue also U2 play at the end not Idol.
Episode Six
Kitchen Tuesday Sixteenth December
Melissa’s sitting on a stool drinking coffee by the cooker in the middle of the kitchen Phoebe comes in.
Phoebe: Look at Mel I’m a fashion blunder a mademoiselle don't.
Melissa: You look fine Aunt Phoebe.
She holds her hand against her jaw.
Melissa: Ohh!
Phoebe: Oh my god your tooth’s still hurting sweetie you really need to see a dentist.
Melissa: I know but I can’t I mean I’m from the future so technically I don’t exist not on paper and without I.D well you do the math.
Phoebe: So why not just cast a spell to remove your pain.
Melissa: You crazy? That’s personal gain.
Phoebe: How’s it personal gain when your tooth’s aching and it’s the only way to solve your problem?
Melissa: Because the spell might not completely remove the pain that’s why it could come back three hours later hurting even more.
Phoebe: Okay what if you used a spell to shape shift into someone else that’s not personal gain.
Melissa: And who would I change into?
Phoebe: Why Prue of course.
Prue walks in and grabs a cup of coffee.
Prue: Who would change into whom?
Phoebe: You think about it Prue phone’s her dentist and says something’s wrong with her tooth Mel shape shifts into you via a spell and goes there I.D sorted they fix your toothache you come out say a reversal spell shape shift back into yourself problem solved.
Prue: Great idea Pheebes I can call them now for you if your want don’t worry there okay dentists they’ve always been good with me.
Melissa: (Relenting) Alright then.
Prue: Good.
Prue phone’s her dentists on the cordless Melissa gets up to leave.
Phoebe: Going out?
Melissa: Shopping yeah I need some new clothes and shoe’s no offence but wearing your same old things over and over they started smelling.
Phoebe: Oh thanks and here I thought they were designer.
Melissa laughs Prue gets off the phone and writes something down on a piece of paper.
Prue: Okay I’ve fitted you in as an emergency so they’ll see you in an hour here’s the address.
She gives the note to Melissa.
Prue: Just ask for Dr Timmons when you get there.
Melissa: Right thanks see you later.
She leaves.
Phoebe: Bye.
Prue: Alright now that’s sorted out we can concentrate on Belthazor the source and the triad couldn't have sent us a worst demon.
Phoebe: Or one with worse skin I’d hate to find myself alone with this guy.
Prue: Yeah well you wouldn't last long with him trust me none of us would which is why we seriously need to train where’s Piper?
Phoebe: Over at Dan’s.
Prue: Wait she still hasn’t split up with him?
Phoebe: Nope and she hasn’t told Leo about Mel either.
Prue: What? What’s wrong with her doesn’t she know by not splitting up with Dan she risks Mel been half builder instead of half white lighter I mean what is it doesn’t she except Mel as her daughter or something?
Phoebe: Oh no Piper does except Mel as her daughter Prue it’s just actually speaking to Dan without saying the truth and hurting him too much she finds hard doing.
Prue: Why? All she’s gotta say to him is “Sorry Dan but I love Leo more than I love you I hope we can stay neighbours and friends” now that’s not hurting the guy or saying too much is it?
Phoebe: Yeah you try being Piper telling him that oh men what to do.
Prue: What’s wrong?
Phoebe flops down onto the breakfast table.
Phoebe: I’ve a date with Cole.
Prue: You say that like it's a bad thing.
Phoebe: It is I’ve never done things this fast before.
Prue: Oh come on Phoebe you’ve been out with loads of guy’s before.
Phoebe: Not one’s like Cole who you think might be the one you only have to look at our kiss last week to see what I mean.
Prue: You really think he’s the one?
Phoebe: I don’t know he could be Mel said we had kids in the future what if one of those was by me and Cole.
Prue: Then I’d say Carpe Diem seize the day and go for it.
Phoebe: That’s what’s I’m afraid of.
Triad’s Lair
Cole’s taking with the source and a triad member.
Cole: Why do you need to go after her again I mean you tried that with Troxa and look what happened there.
Source: Troxa’s only fault was going after Melissa to late and not getting her on her own this time things will be different the Oracle’s had a vision a way to bring about Melissa’s downfall.
Triad One: You Belthazor will lead Melissa to Vinceras.
Cole: Vinceras? But he’s cursed with empathy.
Source: Yes he is and now he’ll curse her so unless you want to end up like Troxa Belthazor I’d do exactly as I say oh and encase you get cold feet I’ll be right there with you.
Cole bows and shimmers out.

Melissa: Yeah, yeah I know.
The tram approaches a stop the conductor comes over to Melissa.
Tram Conductor: Final stop miss.
Melissa: What? This isn’t the final stop.
Tram Conductor: Sorry miss tram doesn’t go any further.
Phoebe: Hello Mel?
Melissa: I'll call you back.
She puts the flap down and gets off the tram.

Prue and Phoebe are there.
Prue: Did she tell you what the problem was exactly?
Phoebe: Not really she wanted to tell us altogether when she got home.
Prue: Well that blows her dentist appointment its way past eleven I’ll have to reschedule.
They hear the open and Piper comes in looking deshrivalled.
Phoebe: There you are Piper Mel was trying to call you.
Piper: Yeah I know she got me on my cell phone.
Prue: She didn’t know you were at Dan’s right?
Piper doesn’t answer.
Phoebe: She did? Piper I thought you were splitting up with him?
Piper: I was but before I could say anything my cell rang and Dan asked who it was and Mel overheard it and then hung up.
Prue: Well no wonder she did after hearing that Piper what were you thinking? Why wasn’t your cell turned off?
Piper: I didn’t turn it off encase you needed me or something.
Phoebe: Piper if we needed you we would’ve phoned his house uh you’d better change before she gets in and sees you like this.
Piper: Fine.
She goes upstairs to change Melissa and Cole walk into the living room.
Melissa: Hey everyone.
Prue: Hey what you two doing together?
Melissa: Oh Cole was parked outside when I came up the porch.
Cole: Good timing huh.
Phoebe: Very good you’re just in time for our lunch date.
Cole: Yeah sorry I'm late got held up on a case you look amazing.
Phoebe: It's all part of my master plan.
Melissa: Uh Phoebe I wanted to talk to you Prue and Piper about the signs... uh the assignment that we were talking about on the phone.
Phoebe: Where did it lead?
Melissa: To this incredibly tragic guy who's scared to leave his own home which might be okay if it weren't about to be torn down.
Cole: Was a social worker there?
Melissa: No but I was told a deputy was going over there this afternoon to evict him and he has no place to go.
Cole: Let me make a call see what I can do.
Prue: Kitchen.
Cole: Thank you.
Cole goes into the kitchen as Piper come downstairs Cole walks in and picks up the phone he dials a number his shadow behind him starts moving away.
Cole: Whoa, whoa, whoa where you going?
His shadow puts his hands on his hips.
Cole: We don’t need the source or the triad knowing about this not until their plan succeeds I can't be associated with anymore failed attempts.
Phoebe walks in.
Cole: (Shocked) Phoebe.
Phoebe: Hey.
She walks past his shadow.
Phoebe: I was just getting Mel an aspirin she’s a toothache.
She gets the aspirin out of the cupboard.
Phoebe: Water.
She gets a bottle of water out of the fridge and walks over to Cole.
Phoebe: You alright?
She kisses him.
Cole: Yeah I just got disconnected.
Phoebe: Oh okay.
Phoebe leaves the room he talks with his shadow again.
Cole: Look I’ve done what the source and the triad wanted okay I gave Mel the signs and led her to Vinceras there plan will work so you don’t have to rat me out alright.
His shadow bows his head and walks back into place.
Lounge
Piper: So who do you think this person’s then?
Melissa: I pretty sure my shut-in's a future empath.
Phoebe: An empath? Who’re they?
Melissa: They're mortals who actually feel what other people feel It's a rare gift when they die they often return to earth as empaths where they blend into society as councillors elders teachers they use their sensitivity to guide mortals ease their pain even heal them the reason I know this is because I knew one who worked as a social worker at the same hospital as me in the future.
Prue: I don’t think from what you’ve told us about this guy Mel he’d call it a gift sounds more like one big nerve ending I mean look how he reacted to your toothache.
Melissa: He’s probably rejecting his gift fighting the emotions he feels instead of embracing them.
Piper: He sounds like an innocent to me.
Phoebe: It'd be a shame to lose him you know all the good he’ll do.
Melissa: Yeah but if we don’t do something soon this guy’s heads goanna pop and he could have a nervous breakdown.
Prue: What I don't understands who sent the signs that you followed.
Melissa: It's hard to say could be the elders another witch or the source and the triad
Cole walks in.
Piper: Cole.
Cole: I know a guy at housing authority who will relocate your shut-in if he leaves voluntarily.
He writes a number down on a card.
Cole: Give this to him and have him page me.
He hands it to Melissa.
Melissa: I will thanks.
Piper: Uh Mel do you want us to go with you?
Melissa: No this guy could barely deal with one person let alone three but thank you.
Melissa walks out the front door Cole looks on worried.
Cole: (To Phoebe) Ready for lunch?
Phoebe: Sure yeah we just have to wait for Prue and Andy.
Prue: We do?
Phoebe: You said you were coming with us remember?
She gives her a look Prue relents.
Prue: Of course I’ll just go call him.
Phoebe: You don’t mind do you Cole?
Cole: Course not.

Vince/Vinceras: I can't I can't go outside.
Melissa: It’s okay Vince I know what it's like growing up a normal child then suddenly getting gifts you never asked for something you don’t understand and can’t control and living with that‘s hard really hard.
Vince/Vinceras: You tell me what's hard you avoided your pain and I feel it.
Melissa: Alright let's talk about blessings then three words that come from having this gift I mean you can't even begin to imagine.
Vince/Vinceras: Words just empty words you don't feel them in your heart I know you feel fear panic 'cause something's coming after you something you're afraid you can't stop are these blessings you want me to be thankful for?

Vince/Vinceras walks over to the Deputy.
Deputy: What's the matter with you?
Vince/Vinceras: Nothing I’m just wondering what you're feeling right now.

He leaves the table.
Vince/Vinceras’s Building
Cole shimmers in.
Vince/Vinceras: Belthazor.
Cole: I got your page.
Vince/Vinceras: I owe you for sending me the witch her spell worked like a charm.
Cole: I didn’t make her your saviour Vinceras the source and the triad did I just led her to you so you made physical contact with her during the spell.
Vince/Vinceras: Of course I could feel the empathic cancer pass right out of me and into her how did they know that would happen?
Cole: That's how you got it isn't it? (Uneasy) How long do you reckon she’s got?
Vince/Vinceras: She's mortal she won't be able to fight it like a demon can I give her a day until the weight of human emotions crush her by then she’ll either top herself have a nervous breakdown or be easily demon prey doesn’t matter she’s dead anyway and you Belthazor have the enjoyment of watching it all.
Cole: I'll be out of town I don't need to see the charmed one’s suffering the loss of their relative.
Vince/Vinceras: The witch’s their relative even better but compassion from you Belthazor? I think you've been undercover too long.
Cole: That’s not your concern.
Vince/Vinceras: True my only concerns the empath who cursed me Father Thomas and I know just where to find him.
Cole grabs Vince/Vinceras and pushes him against a wall.
Cole: No I can't risk the witches finding out about you and me.
Vince/Vinceras: You've forget who I was before I was an empath Belthazor I'm immune to their powers.
Cole: Maybe but you're not immune to mine.
Dentists Reception
Melissa transformed into Prue using a shape shifting spells talking to the receptionist there’s a couple standing behind her cuddling and making googly eyes at each other.
Melissa/Prue: Look I’m sorry I missed my appointment this morning but I couldn't get out of works there anyway
Dr Timmons can fit me in?
Receptionist: I’m not sure we’re pretty booked up.
Melissa/Prue: Alright but my tooth’s killing me and I need to.
The guy pinches the girls butt and Melissa/Prue feels it she gasps and turns around.
Receptionist: You okay Miss Halliwell?
Melissa/Prue: Yeah that was my tooth I'm having a really bad day because it hurts so much.
Receptionist: Alright I’ll see what I can do.
Melissa/Prue: Thank you I really appreciate it.
Melissa/Prue starts laughing.
Melissa/Prue I'm so sorry I don't my tooth’s been hurting a long time
She bursts out laughing.
Melissa/Prue: Why aren’t you guy’s laughing?
Another receptionist opens the door to a room where a woman’s there laughing her head off.
Dentist: Don’t worry Mrs Freeman that's just the nitrisoxide.
Melissa/Prue: Nitrisoxide laughing gas? Ha.
Receptionist: The earliest I can fit you in is four fifteen.
Melissa/Prue realises something’s up.
Melissa/Prue: No, no that's okay I have to go.
She walks past the guy and pinches his butt the girl pushes him.
Oh that Source is so nasty isn't he making Cole send Mel to Vinceras so he can curse her with empathy. Can her family save her from a fate worse than death? & poor Cole he has such a heavy burden on him. Can he redeem himself or will his guilt be too much to handle?
Authors Notes: This is my series of charmed going from season two to seven all stories will be the same as that on the show except seasons two and three, which will class as one year because of Dan and Cole the rest will continue as normal.
Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn’t die Darryl Morris Triad Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who works for the Triad. I’ll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they’ll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.
Extra Note: This episode’s the same as Primose Empath except for a few added or changed scenes and the fact Melissa’s the one cursed with empathy not Prue also U2 play at the end not Idol.

Cole bows and shimmers out.

Prue: She didn’t know you were at Dan’s right?
Piper doesn’t answer.
Phoebe: She did? Piper I thought you were splitting up with him?
Piper: I was but before I could say anything my cell rang and Dan asked who it was and Mel overheard it and then hung up.
Prue: Well no wonder she did after hearing that Piper what were you thinking? Why wasn’t your cell turned off?

Cole: Yeah sorry I'm late got held up on a case you look amazing.
Phoebe: It's all part of my master plan.
Melissa: Uh Phoebe I wanted to talk to you Prue and Piper about the signs... uh the assignment that we were talking about on the phone.
Phoebe: Where did it lead?
Melissa: To this incredibly tragic guy who's scared to leave his own home which might be okay if it weren't about to be torn down.
Cole: Was a social worker there?
Melissa: No but I was told a deputy was going over there this afternoon to evict him and he has no place to go.
Cole: Let me make a call see what I can do.
Prue: Kitchen.
Cole: Thank you.
Cole goes into the kitchen as Piper come downstairs Cole walks in and picks up the phone he dials a number his shadow behind him starts moving away.
Cole: Whoa, whoa, whoa where you going?
His shadow puts his hands on his hips.
Cole: We don’t need the source or the triad knowing about this not until their plan succeeds I can't be associated with anymore failed attempts.
Phoebe walks in.
Cole: (Shocked) Phoebe.
Phoebe: Hey.
She walks past his shadow.
Phoebe: I was just getting Mel an aspirin she’s a toothache.
She gets the aspirin out of the cupboard.
Phoebe: Water.
She gets a bottle of water out of the fridge and walks over to Cole.
Phoebe: You alright?
She kisses him.
Cole: Yeah I just got disconnected.
Phoebe: Oh okay.
Phoebe leaves the room he talks with his shadow again.
Cole: Look I’ve done what the source and the triad wanted okay I gave Mel the signs and led her to Vinceras there plan will work so you don’t have to rat me out alright.
His shadow bows his head and walks back into place.
Lounge
Piper: So who do you think this person’s then?
Melissa: I pretty sure my shut-in's a future empath.
Phoebe: An empath? Who’re they?
Melissa: They're mortals who actually feel what other people feel It's a rare gift when they die they often return to earth as empaths where they blend into society as councillors elders teachers they use their sensitivity to guide mortals ease their pain even heal them the reason I know this is because I knew one who worked as a social worker at the same hospital as me in the future.
Prue: I don’t think from what you’ve told us about this guy Mel he’d call it a gift sounds more like one big nerve ending I mean look how he reacted to your toothache.
Melissa: He’s probably rejecting his gift fighting the emotions he feels instead of embracing them.
Piper: He sounds like an innocent to me.
Phoebe: It'd be a shame to lose him you know all the good he’ll do.
Melissa: Yeah but if we don’t do something soon this guy’s heads goanna pop and he could have a nervous breakdown.
Prue: What I don't understands who sent the signs that you followed.
Melissa: It's hard to say could be the elders another witch or the source and the triad
Cole walks in.
Piper: Cole.
Cole: I know a guy at housing authority who will relocate your shut-in if he leaves voluntarily.
He writes a number down on a card.
Cole: Give this to him and have him page me.
He hands it to Melissa.
Melissa: I will thanks.
Piper: Uh Mel do you want us to go with you?
Melissa: No this guy could barely deal with one person let alone three but thank you.
Melissa walks out the front door Cole looks on worried.
Cole: (To Phoebe) Ready for lunch?
Phoebe: Sure yeah we just have to wait for Prue and Andy.
Prue: We do?
Phoebe: You said you were coming with us remember?
She gives her a look Prue relents.
Prue: Of course I’ll just go call him.
Phoebe: You don’t mind do you Cole?
Cole: Course not.

Vince/Vinceras’s Building
Cole shimmers in.
Vince/Vinceras: Belthazor.
Cole: I got your page.
Vince/Vinceras: I owe you for sending me the witch her spell worked like a charm.
Cole: I didn’t make her your saviour Vinceras the source and the triad did I just led her to you so you made physical contact with her during the spell.
Vince/Vinceras: Of course I could feel the empathic cancer pass right out of me and into her how did they know that would happen?
Cole: That's how you got it isn't it? (Uneasy) How long do you reckon she’s got?
Vince/Vinceras: She's mortal she won't be able to fight it like a demon can I give her a day until the weight of human emotions crush her by then she’ll either top herself have a nervous breakdown or be easily demon prey doesn’t matter she’s dead anyway and you Belthazor have the enjoyment of watching it all.
Cole: I'll be out of town I don't need to see the charmed one’s suffering the loss of their relative.
Vince/Vinceras: The witch’s their relative even better but compassion from you Belthazor? I think you've been undercover too long.
Cole: That’s not your concern.
Vince/Vinceras: True my only concerns the empath who cursed me Father Thomas and I know just where to find him.
Cole grabs Vince/Vinceras and pushes him against a wall.
Cole: No I can't risk the witches finding out about you and me.
Vince/Vinceras: You've forget who I was before I was an empath Belthazor I'm immune to their powers.
Cole: Maybe but you're not immune to mine.
Dentists Reception
Melissa transformed into Prue using a shape shifting spells talking to the receptionist there’s a couple standing behind her cuddling and making googly eyes at each other.
Melissa/Prue: Look I’m sorry I missed my appointment this morning but I couldn't get out of works there anyway
Dr Timmons can fit me in?
Receptionist: I’m not sure we’re pretty booked up.
Melissa/Prue: Alright but my tooth’s killing me and I need to.
The guy pinches the girls butt and Melissa/Prue feels it she gasps and turns around.
Receptionist: You okay Miss Halliwell?
Melissa/Prue: Yeah that was my tooth I'm having a really bad day because it hurts so much.
Receptionist: Alright I’ll see what I can do.
Melissa/Prue: Thank you I really appreciate it.
Melissa/Prue starts laughing.
Melissa/Prue I'm so sorry I don't my tooth’s been hurting a long time
She bursts out laughing.
Melissa/Prue: Why aren’t you guy’s laughing?
Another receptionist opens the door to a room where a woman’s there laughing her head off.
Dentist: Don’t worry Mrs Freeman that's just the nitrisoxide.
Melissa/Prue: Nitrisoxide laughing gas? Ha.
Receptionist: The earliest I can fit you in is four fifteen.
Melissa/Prue realises something’s up.
Melissa/Prue: No, no that's okay I have to go.
She walks past the guy and pinches his butt the girl pushes him.
Oh that Source is so nasty isn't he making Cole send Mel to Vinceras so he can curse her with empathy. Can her family save her from a fate worse than death? & poor Cole he has such a heavy burden on him. Can he redeem himself or will his guilt be too much to handle?
