COME TOGETHER
This story is dedicated to my friend, Vh, who supported my Cole/Phoebe pairing and who endlessly provides info so I can type and she can read. I couldn't do this without you!
A/N: the story might be confusing in the start, but things will be explained in later chapters. English is not my native language. I would like a beta (hint)
CHAPTER ONE
The large Halliwell family had a good time. A different kind of good time then what they the Halliwell sisters would've had sixteen years prior when Phoebe and Cole had yet to turn.
It's funny how things end. All the sisters had their own families. Piper would stay with Leo forever and their children as well as the others were steadily but surely trained as witches. Paige was still a whitelighter and Charmed One and her husband, Henry, had retired from the police the year before because of an injury in battle, (the supernatural kind). Prue and her wizard husband, Logan battled most of the regular demons attacking.
They heard rumours, of course, of the Queen of the Underworld. Phoebe.
The Halliwells checked up on Los Angeles. It was soon rid of light. The Queen searched for the light in every corner of the big city, while the Source did his evil works every other place in this dimension as well as others. But the rumours began to quiver more often, because now the Prince was beginning to show. They didn't even know what his real name was. He was family, he was Phoebe's son and they didn't even know his real name. Every demon they tried to get it from, only called him the Prince. They'd never even encountered him, only seen short glimpses of him in the shadow of his father.
The Halliwell children knew little of what Phoebe and Cole had been like before it all went horribly wrong. They'd fought against the Source their whole lives and knew nothing else, not that they wanted that anyway. They were all powerful in their own way, especially Wyatt, who had some kind of prophecy attached to him. Prue and Logan's eldest child and only daughter, Penelope, better known as Paine, got visions like Phoebe and she was only twelve.

The large manor looked cold and uninviting from the outside and not many dared to come close. Inside was a different matter. Though, not terrible welcome, it was a place to live and for the Turner family that was all it was.
A woman around her forties looked bored at the book she was supposedly reading. Her hair was dark brown and neatly curled so it fell down her back. A dark blue dress hung good on her toned body. All in all the years had treated her well. She was sitting alone in the large room filled with books in darkness.
,,This is boring!'' she stated out loud and the book suddenly set on fire.
She rose and walked out of the room and towards the thrown room, where she new all the fun would be. When she passed a mirror, she stopped and studied herself. Concentrating for a second a silver tiara appeared on the small table beside her. She fastened it in her hair and smiled satisfied.
The large wooden doors opened itself for her and the gathered crowd on the throne room turned to watch who was coming.
,,The Queen,'' one of the Source's minions called out.
The crowd of demons bowed for their Queen, except for the Source himself, who merely smiled. He was standing beside two beautifully decorated thrones, one for himself and the Queen.
The Queen made her way across the old floor, her heels clicking every time they reached the floor. Fifteen years of practise had taught her the grace of the Queen she was and she gracefully sat down on her throne.
She watched the pathetic demons try to suck up to their leader, but he was merciless. She almost laughed when a little green demon fell to his knees and begged. She enjoyed it.
She enjoyed evil.

,,Hey, honey?'' Phoebe Turner said to her husband, when they lay in their large and comfortable bed.
,,Yes?'' Cole Turner replied.
,,Let's take back San Francisco.'' (A/N: the sisters chased them away fourteen years prior)
Cole frowned and looked at her. ,,You sure? The in-laws have an uncanny way of always getting us thrown out.''
Phoebe pouted. ,,But LA is boring.''

Wyatt Halliwell kissed his mother goodbye and orbed out of the manor and into the bathrooms of his school. He checked his hair for the last time in the mirrors and went out. This was the last year he had high school for himself. After the summer his prissy little brother, Chris would join him and he would thankfully be a senior before Paine would join them.
Two years back and he would be enrolled in the magic school full time. He smirked satisfied to himself and opened his locker.
,,Good morning, sunshine,'' the cheerful voice of his best friend, Finn, said.
Wyatt rolled his eyes. ,,Not even close,'' he said and took his books. ,,Demon activity is high again, Paine and Preston have taken over my room so I'm forced to spend unnecessary time with Chris, Paula is all giggles and ponytails with Melissa and mom took my computer.''
Finn frowned. ,,Right, so not good morning?''
Wyatt shook his head. ,,Not a good morning, no.''
,,Man, that blows,'' the slightly taller boy said. ,,I have good news.''
,,Please, let me hear!'' Wyatt pleaded.
,,I saw the new guy and let me tell you, we have got to have him.''
The two young boys looked at each other with a mischievous grin on their faces.
,,The new guy's schedule,'' Wyatt whispered and a piece of paper appeared in his hand. ,,Ups. But now that we have it…''
They checked out the paper.
,,I've got English with him now,'' Wyatt said.
Finn's face fell. ,,That blows.''
,,Everything blows for you,''
,,Yeah, well there must be a reason.''
Wyatt grinned and ran when the bell rang. He found his class and saw a particular tall boy standing beside the teacher. He was dressed all in black without being emo and his hair seemed black too. A couple of the girls giggled when he sent a smile their way.
Womaniser.
Not that it mattered. He and Finn were like that themselves. He would fit right into their little group.
,,Class, settle down,'' the female teacher said.
Wyatt sat down in the back.
,,Everyone, I would like to present Hayden Fierce,'' the teacher said, looking flushed. ,,Would you like to say something about yourself, Mr. Fierce?''
Hayden nodded and without looking nervous, he faced the class. ,,I'm Hayden. I'm almost sixteen, lived in LA till recently, because my mother thought it fun to relocate, got family here I've never met and probably never will. Other than that…'' he shrugged.
,,Thank you. You can sit wherever there's place,'' the teacher said.
Hayden walked purposely towards Wyatt and sat down on the empty chair beside him. ,,Where's all the hot girls in this town?'' he whispered when the teacher began lecturing.
Wyatt smirked. ,,You've come to the right person.''
,,Thought I did,'' Hayden said and smirked back.
TBC.
CHAPTER TWO
,,They're back,'' Leo yelled loud enough for the whole manor to hear, when he appeared in the living room.
Piper and Prue came running from the kitchen.
,,Who's back?'' Piper asked.
,,The Source,'' he said, wide-eyed. ,,Cole and Phoebe are back and they brought the horror of Los Angeles with them.''
