A/N: Thank you for all the reviews. I'm really happy that you enjoyed this chapter. I always read every word you write. Thank you!

I don't know with whom Cole will end up. I hope you, guys, help me with this.

I like Piper and I'm open mind... Let's see how the story goes.

I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.


Darklighter

Up There

"There's something wrong. Can you feel it?", The Elder Odin asked to Roland.

"Yes, I can feel it", the Elder said, frowning. "Emptiness... Like we lost something or someone".


The Underworld

"Remember what I told you before. If I see any sign of danger, I'll drag you out of here", Cole said firmly.

"Understood", Piper rolled her eyes.

"Now, we need to be careful and find some demon who could give some information to us", Cole remarked.

"Sure", Piper muttered.

"Wow, what are we have here? The former Source of All Evil and a Charmed One!", a grey painted demon said, appearing in front of them.

"Cassius...", Cole said, recognizing him.

"You ruined everything. But now we have a new queen and she will be happy with your death!", he said and threw a blast of sand at them.

However, a shield formed around Piper and Cole, preventing the demon's attack. "Oh, good baby", Piper said proudly, rubbing her belly.

Cole glanced at her and formed a fireball in his hand. "Time to say goodbye, Cassius!".

"No, wait!", Piper said, waving her hands and freezing him. "We need to talk to him! He said the word queen. We need to know who she is".

Cole nodded: "You're right... Could you just unfreeze his head?", he asked nastily.

"Yeah, I did this before", Piper smiled and unfroze the demon's head.

"What the hell did you do to me?", Cassius asked angrily.

"Shut up and listen!", Piper said firmly. "You said you have a queen. Who is she?".

The demon started to laugh: "She's our new ruler. The Ice Queen".

Cole stepped back. No, he was lying. This couldn't be true. "The Ice Queen? Is she free?", he asked in disbelief.

"The Ice Queen?", Piper looked confused at them.

However, before Cole or Cassius could say anything, Leo appeared in a stream of black orbs. "I knew you were here", he said.

"Leo!", Piper turned to him and the demon unfroze.

"Dammit", Cole said, trying to throw a fireball at Cassius. Unfortunately the demon managed to simmer out, before the fireball could hit him.

"You're so disgusting, Piper...", Leo said angrily, hate filling his voice.

"Hey, don't talk to her like that!", Cole shouted. "You don't understand... It wasn't our fault".

Leo shocked his head: "Cut this crap, Cole! You are an evil bastard! But I know what to do to get rid of you!".

"Leo, you need to calm down!", Piper said, walking to him.

"Shut up!", Leo said, as fire appeared in his eyes and they turned black.

"Leo...", Piper whispered, her eyes widening in fear. There was something very wrong with her husband and she just didn't understand what.

"You betrayed me... You're just an unfaithful stupid bitch!", Leo let out an evil smile and punched her in the face.

Cole formed a fireball in his hands: "Keep your hands away from her, Leo! Don't force me to kill you".

Leo started to laugh and orbed behind Cole's back: "You? Kill me? You're such an idiot", he said, smashing a vial on his back.

"Cole...", Piper stood up, watching Cole screaming in pain and dropping to the ground.

"The potion worked...", Leo said satisfied, as a black cloud rose out of Cole and floated into him.

"You bastard...", Cole said, trying to forming a fireball in his hand.

"Looking for this?", Leo asked, as a fireball formed in his hand.

"No, Leo!", Piper ran to Cole and put herself between them. "Please, that's not who you are... I saw your orbs, they turned black.. You're a darklighter... You need to calm down...".

"Oh, I'm so much more than that now", he said, looking at the fireball in his hand.

"No, Leo... Please... Don't do this", she begged.

Suddenly, the fireball disappeared from his hand. "Come with me... And I'll forgive you".

Piper shocked her head: "No...", she said, tears brimming in her eyes.

Leo looked angrily at her: "You'll regret it, Piper!", he said and orbed out.

She gasped and knelt before Cole: "Are you okay?", she asked in concern.

Cole nodded, trying to stand up: "I'm sorry, Piper...".

"You did nothing wrong", she said softly, helping him. "C'mon we need to get out of here".

"You don't understand...", he said, looking sadly at her. "Leo stole my powers. I can't fade us out of here anymore".

Piper's eyes widened in terror, as she realized what was happening: "We can't leave this place. We're trapped in the Underworld".
