PROGENY 105

Set 18 years after Charmed Season 8, based around Wyatt and Chris. Wyatt is now 21 and Chris is 18. There is also 16-year-old Prudence Melinda.

Demons haven’t caused many problems over the past few years, but it hasn’t stopped the boys from preparing, just in case.

Suspicions rise when a top business man is found murdered, and an athame is found at the crime scene.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, a new Source has been created, after marrying a witch. And to top it all off, the Source’s bride is Paige’s charge and Wyatt has fallen for the Source’s powerful daughter, who’s not all she seems.

EPISODE 5: EBONY runs into her brother, causing more trouble. PRUDENCE meets ‘NICK’ while at working at the health spa. She soon finds out there’s a reason for his love of water.

DAMIEN

Just alive, that way she’ll lead her brother here. Then kill them both.

NICK

And why am I doing all the hard work?

DAMIEN

Well, I wanted to apologise for that. You’re my sister, how can I kill you?

EBONY

What are you up to, Damien?

DAMIEN

Who said I had to be up to something to make up with my twin sister?

EBONY

You hate me. We’ve always hated each other.

DAMIEN

EBONY

We both know it. Damien, get out, there’s more important things going on.

DAMIEN starts laughing

EBONY

Where is she Damien?

At this point CHRIS is walking into the room, but neither of them realise

INT SWIMMING POOL. DAY.

PRUDENCE and NICK are still sat by the side of the pool. There is nobody else in the pool.

NICK

PRUDENCE

But then I’m leaving you on your own.

NICK

But you came here to swim, don’t let me stop you.

PRUDENCE

Are you sure? I’ll only do a few lengths.

NICK

Sure.

PRUDENCE gets into the water. She starts to swim away from NICK. NICK looks over at the lifeguard who is watching PRUDENCE. NICK waves his arm towards the water. The water near him starts to bubble. The bubbling water gets closer to PRUDENCE, until it reaches her. PRUDENCE screams in agony. The lifeguard dives into the water after PRUDENCE, but is overcome by the hot water. We can see the steam rising from the water. NICK walks by the side of the pool and stands over PRUDENCE. He stops the water from bubbling. The lifeguard is dead, PRUDENCE is barely alive. She is covered in burns. NICK pulls her out of the water.

EBONY

Chris, it’s not that simple.

CHRIS

Oh really. So you’re not a demon.

EBONY

I’m half demon, Chris.

CHRIS

Only half demon? Your brother is the Source!

EBONY

What! No he’s not. My dad is…

CHRIS

Your dad…wait, you’ll know where my Aunt Paige is.

EBONY

Your Aunt Paige?

CHRIS

Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what’s going on. You weren’t kidnapped from Magic School were you?

EBONY

Chris…

CHRIS

You weren’t, were you? You’ve got yourself right where you and your family want you.

EBONY

I’ve ran away from my family. They were manipulating me. Yeah, I started off trying to lead Wyatt to the underworld but I’m not anymore. I changed Chris…

CHRIS

Demon’s can’t change.

EBONY

I’m only half demon.

CHRIS

You were brought up as a demon…

You’re ok though, right?

EBONY

Yeah I’m fine.

EBONY is unsure of CHRIS.

WYATT

So, nothing’s been found then?

Mom, I’m 15 years old! I’m only a few months younger than Prue, and she’s been practising her more advanced magic for a couple of years.

PHOEBE

You mean like a premonition?

WYATT

Yeah.

PHOEBE

EBONY

I’m not gonna turn him evil, Chris. I’m turning good. I know if doesn’t sound right, yes I started off trying to bring you down but things have changed.
