Charmed the Aftermath: Season 9 & 10

10x01: When the Levee Breaks

SEASON 10 PREMIERE

10x01: When the Levee Breaks

The sun hovers on the horizon overlooking the San Francisco peninsula as the bright light streaks across the morning sky. Activity within the city is extremely low. The Port of San Francisco is seen in the distance with the time reading 6:25am. A flash and a change of scene later, the Halliwell Manor is seen basking in the glow of the rising sun. Within the Manor, the sun fills in the conservatory and the foyer of the Manor; decorating the empty house with the streak of sunlight pouring in from every transparent oriel. The eerie silence that fills the Manor is suddenly broken with a loud screech of tires heard outside in the street. Car doors are heard being slammed and muffled voices can be heard in the distance, becoming more audible as the shadows of the people outside of the Manor draw closer to the stained glass door. The front door swings open and in walks a doctor, followed by Piper, Phoebe and then Prue.

"Okay, I think we made it. I'm sure we made it. Do you think we made it?" Piper says with a slight panic in her voice.

"I don't know." Prue answers with uncertainty as she closes the door behind her.

"I think he would've attacked by now if we hadn't." Phoebe adds as she marches in the Manor alongside Piper and Dr. Griffiths.

"Who? Who would've attacked?" Dr. Griffiths asks in confusion, "Why won't you tell me what's going on?"

"Because we're busy trying to save your life." Phoebe answers as the whole crew comes to a stop in the middle of the foyer.

"From who?" Dr. Griffiths asks.

"Uh, unfortunately we're not quite sure." Prue answers with uncertainty.

"That's because Phoebe did not give us time to figure it out." Piper says with a hint of irritability in her voice.

"Well, I didn't have a lot of time." Phoebe defends herself, "I mean, I can't control how far in the future my premonitions take place. I saw the attack, we kicked butt, what more do you want?"

"I would like to know more about who we are up against." Piper counters.

"Okay, Phoebe, maybe you should check the Book of Shadows, see if you can find anything else on this demonic hit man, okay?" Prue suggests.

"Excuse me, demonic?" Dr. Griffiths interrupts as his eyes widen in surprise.

"And how to vanquish him, that would be a good thing to know, and do not get side tracked with the Cole potion thingy because the only ones we are concerned about saving right now is ourselves." Piper rambles as her agitation shines through her dialogue.

Phoebe signals her understanding, turns around and heads up the stairs.

"Oh, okay, what Cole potion?" Prue asks in confusion.

"Ah, he told her that he only killed because some demon cast a spell on him. How naive is that?" Piper explains in a blasé tone.

"I thought she was over him?"

"Apparently not." Piper answers.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Dr. Griffiths interjects, "First you tell me my life's in danger, then you abduct me from my work, now you're talking about demons and witches. Who the hell are you people?!"

"Look, I know that this all sounds incredible, but it doesn't make it any less true. Alright, you're a healer, you do good, now either you have saved too many lives or you're about to save a life that they don't want you to save." Prue explains in one breath.
