Piper, Phoebe, and Prue were curious and dumbfounded. They didn't know what to say, but they weren't included in the conversatiion anyway, so they just looked and listened.
"That was a long time ago. I was controlled." Cole said. he was defending himself.
"A long time ago? Does that make it alright?" Jess asked. For a fourteen year old she was very firey and brave, always the one to stick up for her friends.
"No of course not." Cole said.
"I suppose it's alright then. That you've changed and you can forget it now, right?" Jess was still defending herself and her friends.
"I was controlled. I had to do it. They were making me!" Cole said.
"The little voice in the back of your head, your human half, didn't have any objections? None at all I suppose?" Jess and Cole were the only two fighting, although Lynn and Hallie knew everything that was going on.
"Of course it objected! It objected to high hell!"
"Oh, well what silenced it? Wait I know...evil!"
"Yeah. That's right. I hope you're happy. I admit it!"
"The years of hiding. Do you know what it was like?"
"Of course. I hid and I couldn't..."
"Don't try to act like you know what it was like. Terror and the moving. never could go outside because of the fear. You just hid in the shadows and waited for us to be alone."
"I waited because that's what I was told. I didn't know better."
"It still changes nothing! I was curious about you...for a reason! I hope you feel good about what you did. Seeing the pride on your face must have been a sight. I'm just glad I didn't have to see it."
"It was pride and more than that. A shallow, swallowing pride that took everything out of me."
"Out of you? Ha. The only thing that came out of you was evil. Energy balls flying everywhere. Hiding in the closet while watching you try to find me and kill me."
"It was in the past. It's over now!"
"It will never be over. The nightmares still haunt me. Do they haunt you?"
Cole didn't say anything. He just stood there looking ashamed and and angry, but more ashamed.
"I thought so." Jess said walking back to her friends.
A confused Phoebe asked, "What just happened?"
Lynn was sad and the feeling took her over. She was remembering.
"The hiding." She said. "He was there. We were together, but we couldn't be. We were happy in the afternoon just playing together, but then at night, he came. We hid while he attacked and destroyed everything. I remember just hiding and we huddled together. It was one of the worst moments. When he stopped and stared at the closet, but before he could reach, Jess's mother threw herself on him and said a spell and he was driven away. That's when we were seperated."
The anger had gone from Cole's face and now it was just shame.
Then another memory came back to Lynn.
She was seven. She was playing alone and someone burst through the door.
Sonan's picture flashed in her mind. Then the memory came again.
It was Sonan. Sonan burst through the door and was looking for her. He boasted that the rest of her family was gone and that she should give up now, but her mother came and after a fight she was dead and he laughed wickedly. He left, but swore he would be back after her powers had grown.
Lynn came out of her memory and fell to her knees.
"He's after us. It's Sonan." She said, then she passed out.
