Thank all you kind reviewers so much. And give a girl some ideas! Here we go..



Cole lingered behind the group, while the three women took the lead, obviously trying to come up with some sort of game plan in case something went wrong.. The man that they had learned was named Alaskas, was walking in between them. Cole somehow liked this arrangement, because it meant on some level that the Halliwell's trusted him enough to keep an eye on Alaskas. Alaskas slowed down until he was level with Cole.

"Bathazar...is it true that you lost your powers because you..." Cole interrupted him.

Yes. I fell in love in love with a witch, and I don't have my powers anymore. Therefore I am not Balthazar anymore, much less the Source." Cole said, seeming irritated.

"I don't understand why then, you continue to chase the witch, when it is obvious she doesn't want anything to do with you." Alaskas said. Cole glared at him.

"You don't know anything...." He simply stated.

"I know that you are wasting the potential you have to overcome good." Alaskas said.

"I don't have my powers anymore.." Cole started, before Alaskas interrupted him.

"You are as powerless as I am, or the rest of The Quadrant is. Join us Balthazar." Alaskas offered.

"I'm don't do evil anymore." Cole firmly said.

"On account of the witch that refuses to love you?" Alaskas said vaguely smiling. He quickened his pace, leaving Cole behind him. Cole frowned, obviously thinking about what Alaskas had said.



"I still don't think we should have brought Cole!" Phoebe said.

"Phoebe, stop complaining. This way we'll get to see if Cole is evil again. You haven't forgotten that premonition, have you?" Piper said.

"As much as I want to...no." Phoebe said.

"So what are we going to do?" Paige asked. Piper didn't reply, as Alaskas came up behind them. He motioned for them to stop.

"There, that's where we saw them last." Alaskas said, pointing towards an abandoned house.

"Them!?" Paige asked incredulously.

"We only know of one. But we have heard rumours that there is another somewhere." He explained. Phoebe frowned.

"You didn't think to explain this before.." She was cut off as the door to the house slammed open. "Okay...Paige?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm right here." Paige said, gaping at the form of herself that stepped out of the house.

"It's the Cyprus! Do something!" Alaskas yelled. Piper fumbled through her pockets to find the spell. Meanwhile the figure of Paige had converted to the exact replica of Piper. The Piper-form through an energy ball at Cole, who dived out of the way before it hit him. Paige called for a garbage bin which orbed onto the Cyprus' head, but it simply waved it's hand and sent the bin flying into a wall.

"Piper!" Phoebe yelled.

"Okay! Got it!" Piper said. They read out the spell and watched as the Cyprus disappeared in a mass of flames and ashes.

"Well that was easy enough." Cole said dusting himself off. He turned his head, and was surprised to see Alaskas reading a spell of his own. He grinned as he disappeared in a bright orange light.

"Where did he go!?" Paige yelled.

"He got what he wanted." Cole explained. "I'll try and find him." He said walking away.

"Cole!" Phoebe called after him. Cole turned around. "Umm...nothing." Phoebe finished. There was no point in telling him to be careful. Cole frowned, then walked around the corner.

"What now?" Paige asked.

"We find Alaskas." Phoebe said. "He may be part of the Quadrant, but he's still human. And I have a feeling my premonition is going to come into play soon."





Sorry that was so short. I think I might end this story soon. Maybe a few more chapters. Who knows, right? Review and tell me what you think. Give me ideas, throw a few flames. Just give me feedback!
