The 4th Halliwell [ON HOLD]

[1] SOMETHING WICCA THIS WAY COMES

Scene: Serena Fredrick's apartment.

(She puts down a bowl of food for her cat; Kit)

Serena Fredrick: Come on, baby. Good girl. (She walks over to her altar and lights the candles with just a touch of her finger. Someone standing outside her window. She starts saying a spell.) Ancient one of the earth so deep, master of moon and sun. I shield you in my wiccan way, here in my circle round, asking you to protect this space, and offer your sun force down. (Someone walks up behind her. She turns around.) What are you doing here? (The man pulls out a knife and plunges it into her stomach.)

Scene: Halliwell manor.

(Piper walks through the front door)

Piper: Prue, Poppy?

Prue: In here, working on the chandelier.

(Piper walks into the living room to see Prue next to a ladder from trying to fix the chandelier and Poppy sitting nearby doing school work)

Piper: Sorry I'm late.

Prue: What else is new? Piper, I would have been here to meet the electrician myself but you know I can't leave the museum until six. I didn't even have time to change.

Piper: I just didn't realise how long I was in Chinatown. Did Jeremy call?

Poppy: (joining in on the conversation) No, but he had some roses and a package delivered.

Prue: What were you doing in Chinatown? I thought that you had an interview in North Beach.

Piper: I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow.

Prue: So, that wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you then?

Piper: No, but this just may get me the job.

Poppy: Jeremy sent you port?

Piper: The ultimate ingredient for my recipe. Oh my God, I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board?

Prue: Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester.

Piper: (Reading the inscription on the back) "To my four beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of four, forever more. Love, Mom." We never did figure out what this inscription meant.

Prue: Well, maybe we should send it to Phoebe. That girl is so in the dark, maybe a little light will help.

Poppy: (Sighs deeply)

Piper: You're always so hard on her.

Prue: Piper, the girl has no vision, no sense of the future.

Piper: I really think Phoebe's coming around.

Prue: Well, as long as she doesn't come around here I guess that's good news.

(Both Piper and Poppy give each other looks before heading into the kitchen)

(The pointer on the spirit board starts to move)

Opening Credits
