[Scene: Manor. Phoebe starts to gasp. Prue is still shocked, looking at the spot where Kyle stood moments earlier. Everyone else gets up on their feet and goes to Phoebe.]

PIPER: Phoebe. Phoebe.

LEO: Get her to sit down.

(They sit Phoebe down on the couch.)

PIPER: Phoebe, look at me. Phoebe.

COLE: She's in shock.

PAIGE: Can't we do something?

PIPER: It's okay, sweetie. Just take it easy, take a deep breath.

(Prue starts to cry.)

PHOEBE: She-killed-he-was just-I-can't!

(Cole holds her.)

COLE: Phoebe, It's okay.

PAIGE: She needs to be stopped.

LEO: Anything on that?

PAIGE: You won't believe what I've found. I need you to go to the Elders and find everything you can about the Fiend.

LEO: How is that gonna help?

PAIGE: Leo, just do it okay? I know what I'm doing. And Cole, you might wanna check with your sources down in the underworld. We're gonna need all the information we can get about this thing. (Leo orbs out and Cole shimmers out.) It's alright, Phoebe. We'll make this right.

(Piper turns to Prue who's still standing there.)

PIPER: Prue?

PRUE: How could we let this happen?

PAIGE: No time for that now. We have a serious enemy chasing after us here.

PIPER: (To Paige) Did you find anything about the Lilims?

PAIGE: I don't think that's their real name, Piper. At least it's not what they were known as. (She pulls out her notes from her purse and hands them to Piper.) This is some of what I found. I lost the other notes when the Fiend decided to grace me with his presence. It was a prophecy of three powerful sisters who would become the most powerful witches in the world.

PIPER: Are you sure this is not about us.

PAIGE: No, Piper. Is says that those three witches denied their destiny when they turned evil and helped the Fiend initiate the world of black magic.

PIPER: What are you saying?

PAIGE: I'm saying they are those witches, Piper. They are the Evil Charmed Ones.

PRUE: No. The Evil Charmed Ones were three male warlocks. They were vanquished seven years ago.

PAIGE: What if you were wrong about that, Prue? What if those weren't the evil power of three. This is more serious than any other demon or warlock we've ever come up against.

PIPER: You know how to vanquish them?

PAIGE: No. But I know what they're after. It's the nexus.

PRUE: What would they want the nexus, they're powerful enough.

PAIGE: I don't know.

PHOEBE: It's the Fiend. The two came from the same power source. They're connected.

PIPER: What does that mean?

PHOEBE: The Nexus is the only part left that's neutral. Uniting it with the Fiend would give the Lilims the ultimate power to kill us. I should've known.

PAIGE: Book of Shadows! (The book flames out from the attic and into her hands.) There's gotta be something in here about protecting the nexus.

PIPER: You sure we can do that?

PAIGE: I don't know, but we gotta start somewhere. (The manor lights go out) Uh, did someone forget to pay the bills?

PHOEBE: I don't think this is normal.

PAIGE: Well, what is going on?

PIPER: Quiet.

(They hear strange voices. The four walk to the sitting room and look around them.)

PRUE: What is that?

PIPER: I'm not sure.

PHOEBE: It's the Fiend.

(Paige suddenly flies back and crashes into the stairway window and falls out of the manor.)

PIPER: Paige!

PRUE: They've taken over the manor.
(Phoebe suddenly goes flying through the foyer. The manor's front doors open on their own. Phoebe flies out of the manor. She tries to levitate but hardly avoids her fall. She lands on the grass. Piper flies through the dining room and crashes into the window and falls outside. Prue flies through the sunroom and crashes into one of the windows and falls into the garden outside. Phoebe gets up in front of the manor and runs to the right.)

PHOEBE: You guys? (Prue and Piper walk from the side.) Where's Paige?

PAIGE: Over here. (She comes from the left side of the manor. She's still grabbing the Book of Shadows.) It's a good thing we got the book.

PIPER: And we lost the house?

[Scene: P3. The place is empty. The four Halliwells walk in. Paige is looking through the book.]

PAIGE: Can't you guys use the power of three spell?

PRUE: It won't work this time, it's over.

PHOEBE: You're damn right about that.

PRUE: What is that supposed to mean?

PHOEBE: This is all your fault you know.

PRUE: Excuse me?

PHOEBE: If you had gone to the manor like you said you would, none of this would've happened.

PRUE: Well I am sorry for trying to keep my job. And now, thanks to you I had to quit.

PHOEBE: And thanks to you I lost my innocent.

PRUE: How was I supposed to know that the Lilims were gonna trick us?

PAIGE: Guys, maybe we should just…

PHOEBE: Oh, spare us, Paige. You've had all day to help us protect Kyle but you didn't do anything about.

PAIGE: I'm not gonna be a part of this.

PRUE: Oh, so you're just gonna walk out on us?

PAIGE: You know what? I have been working my brains off to prove I can be of help and you never appreciate…

PIPER: Oh, Paige. It's not like we don't appreciate…

PAIGE: I tell you that we are going up against probably the most powerful evil witches the world has ever known and you're still fighting about this? Don't you realize that this is exactly what they want from us?

PIPER: It's hard enough that we lost the house.

PAIGE: Yeah? Well, let me make this easier for you guys. (She shuts the book and throws it on the floor then stands up.) I quit.

PHOEBE: What are you doing? You can't possibly think that this is gonna make things better?

PAIGE: Well, it's certainly better than watching you guys tear each other apart. Got a better plan?

PHOEBE: How about we start by protecting the nexus and get our house back?

PRUE: Oh, look who's trying to be the boss again.

PHOEBE: You know what, Prue? If you have something you need to say to me then just say it. I am so sick of being taken for granted here. You wanna be the boss here, Prue? Then go ahead.

(Phoebe walks up the stairs.)

PIPER: Phoebe! Where do you think you're going?

PHOEBE: Anywhere far away from this.

PIPER: If you're abandoning us, Phoebe, then don't you think of coming back!

(Phoebe leaves.)

PRUE: Oh, nice job, Piper!

PIPER: This is what you wanted. Happy now?

PRUE: Don't you try and blame this on me!

(Leo orbs in.)

PIPER: If you're so perfect, why are you still here with us then?

LEO: What is this?

PRUE: I can't believe this. I can't believe that after eight years we've come to this. We lost our lives, we lost our house and now we lost each other.

(She storms out. Paige is crying. She then runs out moments after Prue leaves.)

LEO: What just happened?

PIPER: (Crying) The power of three is gone.

(She feels dizzy and loses balance.)

LEO: Piper!

(He quickly holds her before she falls. The triquetra on the Book of Shadows glows then suddenly cracks.)

[Cut to the dark Halliwell manor, stairway. In all the pictures on the wall, all four Halliwell sisters magically move away from each other.]

[Scene: Alley. Phoebe is walking alone. Cole shimmers from behind her.]

COLE: Phoebe!

PHOEBE: Go away, Cole. I wanna be alone.

COLE: What have they done to you? You can't let them win.

(He walks with her then stands in front of her.)

PHOEBE: I don't wanna talk about it.

COLE: Phoebe, you can't do this.

PHOEBE: Just leave me alone, Cole.

COLE: No. (Phoebe slaps him. Cole doesn't move. She slaps him again then keeps hitting him on his chest until she finally breaks down. Cole comforts her as she cries.) It's okay. It's okay. (Phoebe starts to calm down.)

PHOEBE: I didn't mean for this to happen.

COLE: I know.

PHOEBE: What do we do?

COLE: I was trying to get some info from the oracles down there.

PHOEBE: Did they show you anything?

COLE: You might wanna see this yourself.

(He pulls out a picture of her, Piper and Prue. In the picture, the three are standing apart.)

PHOEBE: How did you get this?

COLE: I've seen what's happened to the manor. Luckily it wasn't disturbed by my demon half. You need to see this future, Phoebe. It's not looking good.

(Phoebe touches the picture and has a premonition. First she sees Cal Greene shooting Paige with a gun. Then she sees herself killing Cal Greene with her future power. Then she sees herself being burned at the stake in she sees Piper becoming a demon hunter after the death of her sisters. Then she sees Piper losing a fight with a demon and she ends up drowning. Then she sees Prue and Connor in front of their three tomb stones. Then she sees Prue battling the three Evil Charmed Ones by herself and they vanquish her. The premonition ends.)

PHOEBE: I saw it.

COLE: Any idea how to stop this?

PHOEBE: We start with the Evil Charmed Ones… the Lilims. Paige told us about it. They're planning to take over the nexus so the Fiend can complete itself with it. I think I know how to stop them.

(Twelve demons appear around them, trapping them.)

DEMON#1: I guess there's no need for introductions. (He creates a fire ball) I'm sure you know all of us.

PHOEBE: Council Demons. We already vanquished them four years ago.

COLE: (Whispers) The Fiend must've sent them back to kill you.

PHOEBE: Doesn't wanna waste any chances, does it?

(A few more demons create fire balls.)

COLE: (Whispers) We have to get outta here.

DEMON#2: Brothers! (All the other demons create fire balls.)

COLE: (Whispers) Phoebe, you'll need your sisters.

DEMON#3: It's time to end the Charmed Ones once and for all.

(All twelve demons prepare to attack.)

[Fade to Paige driving her car. She's still crying.]

[Fade to P3. Leo is sitting with Piper. The Book of Shadows is still on the floor. The triquetra is a bit cracked.]

[Fade to Prue walking alone in a dark street. She is still covered in Kyle's blood.]

[Fade back to Phoebe and Cole in the Alley. The demons are all around them.]

PHOEBE: (Whispers) It's not over yet.

(All twelve demons throw their fire balls.)
