A/N: Really really sorry I haven't been updating very regularly, I have my GCSE's in May so it might actually become even less regular but don't let that put you off reading. Please review, all the reviews make me so happy thanks for the reviews I've already gotten and a special thanks to Willow120 who has reviewed every chapter.
Cole was determined to know what was going on, so he returned to the place he had spent part of his childhood and young adulthood. He knew his attempts would probably be futile there would be nothing but empty rooms.
He walked through the secret chambers until he reached the room he was searching for. He entered and to his surprise the room wasn't empty.
Cole: Who are you?
Demon: I'm your older brother Cole and I'm here to bring the dark charmed ones to greatness once more.
Cole: WHAT!? Andy is dead, the power is gone and I am not returning to evil.
Suddenly Leo entered from another room.
Cole: (Shocked) What are you doing here?
Leo: He's telling the truth, he is our brother.
Cole was surprised that Leo had acknowledged him as his brother. It was not to be mentioned, if the elders ever found out of Leo's dark past the consequences would be severe.
Leo: It is okay to talk freely; the protection barriers have been replaced. No one can hear.
Cole: That still doesn't explain what you are doing in the underworld seemingly trying to regain the evil power of three. (Cole said getting angry.) I can't believe you were in on this, I know we never talked about it but I thought it was understood that we were both good now, and how do you even know that he's our brother…
Leo: Cole calm down, there are reasons for everything (Cole saw the look of sorrow in his eyes and decided it would be best to stay and find out what was really going on) I know he is our brother because mother told Andy and myself of him, his name is Oradice you weren't told because you were too young to understand.
Oradice: It is not a matter of choice you shall rejoin the dark charmed ones whether or not you wish to do so. So the circumstance of this is irrelevant. You know the mightiness of Ishrok, and as I am his master I must have power of great proportions must I not?
Cole: I suppose you must but that won't sway me towards evil; the lure of power no longer has an effect on me. I gave that up for Phoebe.
Oradice: (Sarcastic) Aww how sweet, and how human. I know how to change your mind and convince you to do my bidding. Thereby placing me in my rightful place as the leader of the dark charmed ones.
Cole: I doubt it (he said scoffing)
Oradice exited.
Cole: Well he's completely full of it, even if you did turn back to evil I wouldn't picture you working with him let alone believing he was our brother.
Leo: I have my reasons, and what makes you think I haven't turned evil again?
Cole: I'm your brother, I know you.
Leo: You wont be so sure of which side I'm on when you find out what Oradice was talking about.
Cole wanted to pry Leo into telling him what was going on but by the way Leo was acting he decided it wouldn't be the best time and decided to change the subject to something else he needed to know.
Cole: Speaking of him, what did mother tell you of him?
Leo: You'll know parts of the story but I'll start from the beginning so you understand better.
You know when the source found out three hundred years ago that the good charmed ones would be born of the warren line he knew that the dark charmed ones would be born of the Rowe line. He wanted the dark charmed ones to have great power and obey him, to want what he wanted. Without trying to overthrow him.
Cole: I know all this.
Leo: Just be patient. Anyway he decided that he should be the father to enhance the powers and ensure that we followed him and not one of his opposition. He watched the Rowe coven closely with the seer and when she pointed out to him who the mother of the dark charmed ones would be he kidnapped her and locked her in a dungeon because he knew the Rowe coven wouldn't approve of his decision, two forces of very powerful evil very rarely did see eye to eye.

The manor, kitchen. Piper is finishing off a potion. Phoebe and Paige enter.
Piper: Hey what's the rush, did you find any of the books?
Paige: A couple but then we had a demon to deal with. We'll go upstairs to check the book of shadows.
Phoebe: I was thinking it might be one of Ishrok's minions.
Piper: Well I have a few potions ready lets just hope they work.
Phoebe: I have this feeling that this is all going to end up a lot bigger than what it seems.
Piper: Well we are going up against an extremely powerful demon.
Just then a demon shimmers in and begins to attack.

Back to Leo telling the story. (A/N: I decided to do this part of the story from Leo and Cole's mother's perspective so it's kind of a flashback. It coincides with what Leo is telling Cole but there are parts that Leo doesn't know about so he obviously can't mention them but you wont no which parts he doesn't know about until later.)
Sitting alone in my cavern ignoring the ritual like the rebel I am. I hate her, she's the worst sister ever. There is supposed to be an equal chance that either she or I are going to be the mother of the dark charmed ones although everyone is absolutely convinced it's going to be her. In their eyes I couldn't possibly be anyone that special. When I try to rebel it's just seen as a pathetic attempt to be seen as being evil and disobeying them. It's so hard to rebel when your parents are already vastly powerful evil. It's seen as a good thing but then a bad thing for not obeying them. No matter what I do it will never be bad enough and then I cross some lines and receive punishment for disobeying, it seems an impossible balance to hold. But my sister manages to hold a perfect balance with her suave killings and perfectly evil yet beautiful appearance and just the way she is. She probably is the mother of the charmed ones after all she had her first kill at twelve and I only had mine eight months ago, its pathetic I'm fifteen and only killed for the first time a few months back.
I hear that the source has just entered my coven's chambers. I leave my cavern, there is a high chance there will be a good fight to watch. The source approaches me before anyone can react he grabs me and flames out. I'm in his dungeon; he has thrown me into a cell where my powers don't work. I cringe in disgust as I realise my cellmate is a white-lighter. I am not worried, they will come after me however much they don't care they wont take the risk that I might just be the mother of the charmed ones…
Leo: and her cellmate was a white-lighter
Cole: (Cutting him off) and that white-lighter was our dad, what does this have to do with Oradice.
Leo: I have to tell the whole story or you wont get it.
A whisper: The dark charmed ones father is a whitelighter!
Leo: What was that?
Cole: I don't know, (suspicious he suddenly reaches for something and it turns into a chameleon demon) Ah ha!
Leo: There must be another one. Show yourself. (As Cole vanquishes the first Chameleon demon another one tries to run for it and gets caught in the path of an energy ball coming from another direction and gets vanquished.)
Leo: That was close.
Cole: Did you just throw an ENERGY BALL?
Leo: yes.
Cole: I thought you had stopped using your demonic powers, and I thought it drained you since it counteracts the whitelighter powers you use so often.
Leo: It does drain me, I need a rest I'll tell you the rest of the story later.
Cole: No way you haven't answered any of my questions, I know you are tired but I need to know. It's unfair that you kept the fact that I had a brother from me all these years.
Leo orbs out and Cole shimmers following him determined to keep on at him until he got some answers. When they landed Cole opened his mouth beginning to speak then realised Leo had orbed straight to the manor and into the same room as the girls were in. Cole sighed as he realised the conversation would just have to wait.
