Sorry this took a while.

The battle was a tough one. Chimera, Cole and the Charmed Ones all worked together in fighting the demons, but Chimera mostly concentrated on Infernio. Things were crazy.
About 20 minutes later the only demon, besides Cole, who remained was Infernio. He and Chimera stood several feet apart, facing each other. Everyone was breathing hard.
The Charmed Ones started to move toward Infernio, but Cole blocked their way.
"Cole get out of the way," Paige ordered, scowling.
Cole fought to keep his face neutral. "No, this is something that only Chimera can take care of."
At first it looked like they were not going to heed what he said, but then they conceded and just watched.
Infernio, using his supernaturally fast reflexes, threw a fire ball at Chimera.
Chimera, equally quickly raised her hand, it enveloped in electric bolts which surprised the sisters, and used that hand to easily deflect the fire ball.
Infernio smirked. "You are very powerful, you could be more so, we both know it."
Chimera pressed her lips together and her grey-green eyes suddenly became a sharper, firy, pure green, without even a trace of grey.
"And we *both* know my answer to that." Her voice was as sharp as her eyes.
Infernio seemed to sigh in resignation and disapointment. "Well then it looks as though we are at a stalemate. So I shall say, 'Adiue.'"
He turned to leave, but called over his shoulder. "Make no mistake, witch, you will turn or I will have your blood."
He dissapeared in a swirl of darkness.
Everyone in the alley turned to look at Chimera.
Her jaw was clenched and she was shaking as she stared at the spot where Infernio used to be.
Paige opened her mouth to speak.
"We will explain everything to you," Chimera said sharply, not moving her eyes from the spot. "But only once we are back at the house."
Paige closed her mouth.
~*~
The whole group apeared in the sunroom of Cole and Chimera's house.
Before anyone could say anything Chimera briskly left the room.
Cole called after her; she reapeared at the doorway, holding a glass and a pitcher, giving a look that he knew meant, "Say anything and there will be hell to pay!"
She poured herself a glass of the ice tea and setting the pitcher down took a large gulp of it.
She wrapped her free arm around her chest, still shaking. Her nervs were completely raw.
Phoebe wondered what it was about the confrontation that could have gotten the young woman this shook up.
"Are you alright?" Piper looked at her in concern.
"NO! I am NOT 'alright'!" Chimera shouted. She imediately looked guilty for yelling. "I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that. It's just that..." She wapped her arm more tighly around herself and just began to stare out the widow.
"It's just what?" Paige asked.
Chimera blew out a breath and bowed her head. "I guess now would be a good time to explain to you who and what I am, because the fight we were just in all stems from it."
She sighed, walked over to the chairs and sat down on one side the the circle, Cole sat down next to her; the Charmed Ones sat down across from them.
"I guess I should start at the beginning." She looked up at the sisters. "You may want to call you Whitelighter, so that you don't have to explain it to him later."
Piper raised an eyebrow in surprise but called Leo.
Leo orbed in with Mel. "What's wrong -" He broke off at the sight of Chimera and Cole.
"What's up?"
"They are about to tell us what is going on, so you may want to take a seat." Paige gestured to an empty spot on their side.
"So what's the story?" Phoebe asked.
Chimera looked down at her hands. "I don't know how to really say this except: I am a half-witch-half-Whitelighter-half-soul."
