"Come on in," Paige said as they led the boy inside the manor. He stepped into the foyer, and looked around uncertainly.

"Let me take this," Piper said, pulling off his jacket. She hung it up on the coatrack, and motioned for the boy to go into the parlor. He sat down on the chair by the fireplace, and the sisters sat across from him on the couch.

"Do you want to tell us your name?" Paige asked.

"Cole," the boy replied slowly. "Cole Taylor."

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "Cole, huh? That's funny, you have the same name as my former husband..." She looked around suspiciously, half expecting her ex to pop up any minute.

"Hey, we vanquished him, remember?" Paige prompted.

Phoebe shrugged, and nodded.

"Okay, I told you my name," Cole interrupted. "The least you can do is tell me yours."

"The least we can do?" Paige repeated. "After we picked you up off the street and brought you home? You little-"

"Paige," Piper interrupted warningly. She glared at her sister, then softened her expression for the boy. "I'm Piper Halliwell, and those are my sisters, Phoebe and Paige."

"Now, do you want to tell us what happened back there? With the whole wall of ice." Phoebe asked.

"No. First you tell me about what you three did back there," Cole replied in a tough tone of voice.

"Okay then," Paige said with a sigh, "We're witches."

"Yeah right, that's some lame ass lie," Cole told them bitterly.

"Hey, watch your mouth," Piper told him as her motherly instinct took over.

"Really, we are witches," Paige said. "Here, watch this."

Paige orbed from in front of Cole to behind him. Cole couldn't believe what he just saw.

"What the f-" Cole started but was quickly stopped by Piper.

"Hey! Language."

"Now, this might be hard to understand, but we are not going to hurt you," Phoebe reassured. "We're good witches.

"Oh no," Cole said. He felt what happened in the alley coming on again, but this time it was different. He brought his left hand to his forehead trying to stop the pain from spreading in his skull. A ball of ice appeared in his right hand. He couldn't believe this, without looking he threw the ball of ice. It went in the direction of Piper.

"Hey!" she exclaimed as she brought her hands up and froze the ball.

"D-did, you just stop that?" Cole asked, dumbstruck.

"Yeah, that's what I do," she told him, "Now no more-"

She was interrupted by Cole's reaction. He stood up and knocked over a chair. He staggered a bit because the alcohol and drugs he had taken had started to kick in.

"Easy Cole, its all right." Phoebe said noticing that he was freaking out.

Cole started to run when all of a sudden a man appeared in front of him. This was too much for Cole. He passed out from all of the events of the night.
