Chapter Three: Save Me

By: Mage

Spring turned into summer and the sun came out in all its glory. The days became hotter and longer. Everything had been going normal for Cole and Liam. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened to them since the day Wyatt was born and they lost their powers. Cole continued to help people and rid the city of demons and all dark creatures that come out at night.

Cole and Liam sat on the couch watching TV. The news suddenly interrupted the movie they were watching.

"Sorry to interrupt this regularly scheduled program," said the news anchor. "This just end. Three women have been spotted all over the city today. People are calling them the 'Godiva Girls'. They have appeared in various parks throughout the city." The screen changed to a clip of three girls dressed in short green dresses dancing around a fountain. "No one knows where they have come from. They don't appear to be dangerous but we advise you to be careful if you encounter them. Now we will return you to your regularly scheduled program."

"Wood Nymphs," said Cole talking to himself.

Liam looked up at Cole. "What is a Wood Nymph?" he asked hearing the words his father had just spoken.

Cole took a minute to think of a good way to answer. "A Wood Nymph are magical women that live in a forest. They help and protect the forest they live in," explained Cole the best way he could.

Liam frowned. "What are they doing in the park if they are supposed to be in the forest?"

"That is a very good question that I would like an answer to," said Cole. He turned to Liam. "Want to go and find out?"

Liam nodded. Cole grabbed his hand and they faded out of the room. They appeared in the shadows of the park that they saw on the news. It was nighttime and everyone was gone from the area. The two of them didn't have to wait long for any action. The nymphs appeared from the trees and began to dance and frolic around the fountain.

A man shimmered in front of the trio. "Ladies." He held out his hand and a stream of fire shot out and engulfed one of the nymphs. Her screams of pain echoed through the air till she disappeared in the inferno.

The man smirked. "Last chance. Where's the spring?"

Cole looked at Liam. "Stay here," he commanded. Liam nodded obediently. "Okay Daddy."

Cole sprinted from his hiding spot. At the same time Piper and Paige came running from the opposite direction. The nymphs saw them before they saw Cole. "Please help us! Please!" a nymph pleaded to the women.

Cole thrust his arm out and a blast of icy air shot out. The demon dodged at the last moment.

"Cole!" Piper and Paige both said in surprise.

Piper got over her surprise and got to business. She threw her hand up and sent a blast at the demon. It hit his arm and hand blowing it to bits. He grunted in pain. Paige orbed the nymphs and Piper out just as the man sent a stream of fire at them. It passed harmlessly through the dissipating orb lights.

Cole slipped back to his hiding place and faded Liam and himself back to the penthouse. Cole sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. He couldn't believe he ran into Phoebe's sisters. He made a vow to himself that he would leave them alone. Liam sat on the couch next to his father and laid his head on his lap. "Daddy did those women know you?"

Cole smiled down at his son and ran his hands through his hair. "Those use to be my sister in-laws."

"You were married?" asked Liam surprised.

Cole nodded. "Yes. But our love wasn't strong enough to overcome things in our path. So we split up." More like she killed me, thought Cole resentfully. He always thought his and Phoebe's love could work miracles. But he was wrong. It wasn't strong enough.

"They sounded surprised to see you," commented Liam.

"They thought I was dead."

Liam sat up and looked into Cole's eyes. "Do you need to see them. I think they probably will need an explanation," he said wisely.

Cole ruffled his hair and smiled down at him. Liam laughed and swatted his hand away. "When did you get to be so wise little guy?" retorted Cole.

Liam scoffed playfully, "It's not when did I get so smart. I have always been smart." He squealed loudly as Cole tackled him. They began rolling around the floor wrestling each other.

*************************

Paige and Piper stood in the main hall of the manor discussing what they had seen. Leo was there too. The nymphs were all over him having a grand time rubbing their hands all over him.

"How can Cole be alive again!" said Piper putting heavy emphasis on again. Paige shrugged. "I don't know. But why did he try to kill Xavier. It was almost as if he was trying to protect the nymphs."

"Maybe Cole is good," said Piper confused by the whole situation.

Paige turned to Leo. "Do you know anything about Cole being alive?"

Leo shook his head. "No. This is news to me. I don't think no one up there knows anything about it."

Piper glared at the nymphs rubbing on her husband. She looked at Leo and her gaze softened. "Can you go and find out?"

"Sure," he orbed out of the hall. The nymphs sighed and looked downcast at losing their favorite pet. Piper suddenly got a grief stricken look on her face. "What are we going to tell Phoebe?" she asked Paige. Paige expression mirrored her own.

The door opened at that moment. "Tell me what?" asked Phoebe walking into the house closing the door behind her. She walked into the hall carrying a vase of red roses. Paige looked at Piper and nodded her head at Phoebe.

Phoebe sat the roses on the table in the main hallway. "Tell me what?" she repeated.

Piper grabbed her hand and led her to the living room. "Phoebe there is something we have to tell you. It might not be good news." Phoebe looked at the two nymphs frolicking in the hallway. "I thought there was two of them?"

"Yeah. The demon got one," said Piper absently.

"Yeah, but on the plus side, you got some really pretty flowers," said Paige trying to dig for information forgetting what they were going to talk about.

Phoebe waved the probing off. "Yeah. See, I don't want to talk about that. Tell me about the demon."

Paige looked sideways at Piper. "Well, Piper let him get away." Piper's jaw dropped and she glared at Paige. "Oh come on. I blew up his hand, didn't I?"

"Yes, but the rest of him got away," reminded Paige.

"Yeah, well, ok, demons don't always go "poof" when you want them to, you know," retorted Piper. Phoebe looked between the two of them watching them banter back and forth.

"Okay," she said raising her voice. "What the hell is going on with the two of you?"

"Paige thinks she's lead witch all of a sudden," snipped Piper.

Leo orbed into the room just as Paige was going retort. "The Elders don't' know anything." He said. "Anything about what?" asked Phoebe. Paige and Piper looked at each other guiltily. They had originally tried to tell Phoebe that Cole was alive, but they sidetracked by their pettiness.

Piper took her hand. "Honey, there is no easy way to say this. But Cole is alive."

Phoebe stood up quickly and looked at three of them. She suddenly busted out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. Paige raised an eyebrow and leaned over to Leo. "Is she in shock?" she whispered. He shrugged looking at the laughing woman in concern.

"That's a good one guys," she giggled.

"We're not joking," Paige said gently.

Phoebe sat down heavily accepting the truth. "Where did you see him?" she said her voice resigned. "In the park where we found the nymphs," answered Piper.

"I thought we vanquished him in that other reality," Phoebe said her voice heavy with emotion. The girls shrugged.

**************************

"Do I have to go Daddy?" whined Liam.

Cole rolled his eyes heavenward. "Yes. I don't wont to leave you by yourself." Liam sighed and nodded giving in. He knew when his father used that voice it was time to give in. They left the penthouse and went down to the garage. They got into the BMW and drove off into the night.

"Are they nice?" Liam asked curious. He didn't know the first thing about the women his father was going to talk to.

Cole bit his lip thinking about what he should say. "They might not seem nice when we met them because when we last saw each other we had a fight. So, they might be kind of mean to us."

Liam frowned not liking the answer. They better not be mean to his Daddy or they will get the shock of their lives.

They pulled up along the street to the manor. He turned off the car and got out. He went to Liam's side and helped him out. They walked up to the front door in silence. Cole held Liam's hand in his and took a deep breath. He pressed the doorbell and waited. The door opened and on the other side was Leo.

"Cole!" he said in amazement.

"May I come in Leo," he asked politely. Seeing his hesitation he sighed. "I won't try to kill you. I'm just here to explain."

Leo looked down and was surprised to see Liam clutching Cole's hand. "Who is this?" he asked.

"I will explain when we come in," said Cole. Leo nodded and opened the door letting them in. He walked behind him into the living room where the girls were. Cole entered the room with Liam clutching his hand like a lifeline.

The girls saw him in the doorway and gasped. "Cole," Phoebe breathed. Cole nodded at her and gave her a small smile. It was good to see her. But he couldn't feel that spark that he use to feel when he was near her. The love they once had for each must really be gone. "What the hell are you doing alive!" growled Paige.

Cole frowned. "I appreciate it if you wouldn't swear in front of him." He looked down at his son who was looking at the witches fearfully. The girls gasped just now seeing Liam for the first time. Paige crossed her arms. "Whose kid have you kidnapped?"

Cole narrowed his eyes. "I didn't kidnap him. He's my son," he bit out.

Piper threw her hands up and froze time around Cole. He raised his eyebrow. "I came here to explain."

"How are you still moving?" asked Piper incredulously. "I just froze you."

"How can you have a son?" Phoebe asked staring at the boy in wonder. Liam was standing in front of Cole as if protecting him. He glared at the girls who were being mean to his father. "First, I have a son because I adopted him. Second, I didn't freeze because I am a witch."

"WHAT!" yelled Piper, Paige, Leo, and Phoebe at the same time.

Leo shook his head. "That's impossible," he said.

"Go and ask the Elders," said Cole simply. Leo looked at Piper who nodded showing her consent. Leo orbed out.

"Start talking," Phoebe said her voice hard.

Liam glared at Phoebe. The anger he felt at the moment triggered his powers. White electricity started to crackle and circle around his clenched fists. "Stop talking to my Daddy like that!" he yelled.

The Charmed One's stepped back in fright. Cole's eyes widened in surprise. He had never seen his son get angry like this before. He grabbed Liam and picked him up holding him close to his chest. "Its alright sunny," he comforted. "There are just confused. They don't understand right now."

Liam sniffled and wiped his eyes. "I won't let them take you from me."

Cole kissed his forehead. "They wont."

The girls watched the heart-warming scene with wonder on their faces. They never had seen Cole act this way. Phoebe had once upon a time though. But only to her however. That's when they decided they had to hear him out and find out the whole story.

Cole sat down on the couch with the sisters standing around him. He sat Liam on his lap and started at the very beginning. "It started when you vanquished me. I was taken to a higher plane and the higher beings there calling themselves the Powers that Be gave me a second chance. They told me I was to become one of their Champions of good. They stripped me of all my powers and demon side. They turned me into a human. A witch. They told me it was always my destiny to become a witch. I adopted Liam after I found him in an alley after his mother was killed by a demon. As you found out he is a witch also. An electrokinetic."

Leo orbed into the room just as Cole finished. He looked at Cole with a new level of respect. "Cole is a witch. He was telling the truth—"

"Why didn't the Elders know he was alive?" interrupted Paige.

Leo was still looking at Cole in respect. "That's because he doesn't work for the Elders. He works for the Powers that Be."

"Who are they exactly?" Phoebe asked looking at Cole speculatively.

"They look after all dimensions. The Elders work for them."

The witches gasped and snapped their heads around to look at Cole. Liam stuck his tongue out at them. "That means Daddy is more important than you."

That's all for Chapter three. I hope all of you liked it. As you all can see Liam is very protective of his daddy. I hope you all like it. What should happen next?
