"Whatever! This had better be a good explanation." Prue stated, dragging a chair from near the window and sitting down, arms crossed. Phoebe slowly resumed her seat next to Trina and Cole. Her face was bereft of emotion, but her eyes were icy.
"Oh, it will be. First off I have to say I'm disappointed in you Prue,. . ."
"Now, hold on......"
"I'd like to get through this uninterrupted, if you don't mind." Trina frowned and muttered a few choice words but stayed quiet.
"As I was saying, I'm disappointed in you Prue, because I really thought you come to accept Cole eventually. I thought that if you could see that he really wanted to be good and would help us then you'd come to accept him. I was wrong, You were just waiting for him to make a mistake so you could point a finger and say, ' See I told you! I was right all along!'. Well you're wrong. He's good and for you sake, I hope you see it someday." Phoebe looked at Cole, then Trina who gave her a disapproving look. Phoebe ignored the look and continued.
"Second, Trina is Cole and MY daughter. She comes from the future. Cole did nothing that is reprimandble, and yet you've condemned him for something he didn't do." Phoebe shook her head. "How can you trust me, if you don't trust Cole? He's a part of my life that won't change." Prue stared coldly at Phoebe while she spoke.
"You're right, Phoebe. We can't trust you." Everyone was quiet. Trina rubbed her head like she had a headache, Amy rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath that earned her a glare from Piper. Lila glanced at Leo before saying,
"Don't you guys think that it's a little harsh? I mean, like come on, you're family. Granted we have a problem that she doesn't trust him, but that's . . . " Prue turned to look at Lila and blinked.
"Excuse me, but who are you to tell me what to, and not to say to my sister? You know nothing of our past or what happened! You know nothing of the betrayal and hurt he's caused this family! He is in no way family! He's a demon! Born and bred killer!"
"Well, that puts us in our places doesn't it girls?" Trina said sneering. She looked at Prue with a raised eyebrow, her eyes steely. She gracefully rose from the couch to stand and confronted Prue.
"NEVER! And I mean NEVER, speak to her like that again! Are we clear? And as for Dad, keep in mind that I am half demon and I don't take kindly to people who plot against my family. ANY of my family."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I don't need to threaten you." While Trina and Prue were arguing, Lila had started to frown and she tilted her head like she was listening for some faint noise. All at once her head snapped up and she looked at Amy a silent message passed between them and Amy turned to Trina.
"Hey stop your bitching for five minuets, will yeah? We . . . " That's all she go out before she and Lila
were orbed out. Leo looked at Piper before he too, was orbed out. By this time Cole and Phoebe were on their feet. Trina looked Cole.
"Do you know?"
"No, but it must be something big that everyone was summoned."
"That's what I'm thinking." Trina swung around to Prue. "Be ready, for what I don't know." Cole reached for Trina putting his arm around her shoulder he turned to Phoebe.
"See ya, Phoeb's. I'll be back soon." Trina coughed, Cole turned and grinned. "My mistake. "We'll" be back soon." With that father and daughter, shimmered out.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The room was dark with torches on the wall and a table in the middle. Some candles were lined up on the table along with stuff Trina had never seen before. Cole watched her look around.
"Is this really your room or quarters, Dad?" She look around and made a disgusted face. Cole laughed at her face.
"Yeah, don't like it?"
"The least you could do is make it more homey. I don't know maybe a bed, or mattress. How about some sheets?" Cole glanced around and waved a bed into existence in one corner. Trina rolled her eyes at the plain four poster bed and groaned.
"You have no sense of imagination, Father." She thought for a moment the smiled and flicked her wrist. The room transformed into a glittering chamber, with blood red silk hanging from the walls and black carpet on the floor. The be was a four-poster canopy, with a shimmery black fabric, that was intertwined with red so that it gave off the illusion of water. The comforter was black with red lining and pillows were a mixture of red and black. The table was the only thing that remained the same. Trina surveyed her work with a triumph expression.
"Well what do you think?" Cole was silent for a moment.
"We're going to need a bigger house." Trina laughed. Then surveyed his cloths comparing them to the rest of the room. Cole saw her intent and stopped her before she could change him too.
"No, I need the Brotherhood cloths for this." Trina shuddered and slowly, while running her hands along the wall, walked toward the bed. Cole tossed his cloak on the bed missing Trina by an inch. She frowned at him.
"Change." He suggested
"Into what? I have no sisterhood outfit." At her tone Cole glanced back and saw her glaring at his cloak.
"Something long and black, something formal."
"How about I just sit this one out? I'll meet you back here?" Cole had finished dressing and came over to putt on his cloak. He stood staring at her, shocked. She sat cross legged on the bed fiddling with her ring and not meeting his eyes. He moved his cloak to sit down next to her, taking her icy hand in his warm one, to stop her from rubbing her ring finger raw and asked.
"Are you sacred to see the source?"Trina huffed a sigh.
"No. He won't kill me."
"Then why do think you should sit this one out?"
"I just don't think you need me, that's all." He knew she was lying.
"I'll always need you and Phoebe. You're my women." Trina's head turned and she snapped,
"You know damn good and well what I mean! And we're not your possessions either!" Cole chuckled.
"Your right I do. Now what's all this upheaval about?" Trina flopped back on the bed looking at the canopy.
"This will be my first face to face meeting with him. I'd just as soon not know him as having a first meeting."
"Wouldn't we all. Come on it could be worse, you could be alone." Cole rose and taking Trina's hands tugged her off the bed, she landed in a heap on the floor. Grumbling and chuckling she got up and looked her self over, with a sweep of her arm her jeans and tank disappeared and was replaced with a midnight blue, floor length, long sleeved, off the shoulder dress that skimmed down her body hugging her hips and flowed the rest of the way down. When she looked up to meet Cole's eyes, he smiled and softly whistled.
"And I settled for the mom!" He joked.
"You're nasty, Dad!" Shaking her head, she laughed.
"Hear." He handed her a cloak like his, with a pagan symbol for a clasp done in silver. She reached out to feel the fabric when one of the brotherhood shimmered in.
"The source is waiting Belthazor, who is the woman?" Trina edged closed to Cole, eyeing the new comer with as much wariness as he had appreciation. Draping the cloak over her shoulders, Cole used it to draw her closer to him.
"She's my Daughter, Trina." A new light came to the man eyes.
"The one with the witch?" he asked
"You know about that?" He looked her up and down lechery evident in his gaze.
"That's part of the reason you're here. And now that I've seen her I'll make sure she has full..... protection."
"You bastard! You fucking pervert! I'll blow your God-damn ass into next year, Prick!" Trina exploded stepping closer to get in his face.
"Please try. It will be, shall we say, enticing?" His eyes darkened and Trina was revolted to see that her outburst did nothing but bring on a full-fledged arousal complete with a large erection. She retreated at such speed that she nearly knocked Cole over when she plowed back into him. His arms came around her waist and he set her beside him before addressing the man.
"I'm not leaving her, therefor she'll have no need for your protection, and you'll have no reason to be near her," Cole said calmly before his eye turned to flint and he said, "And if you find reason to be near her, just remember she's my flesh and blood." With that he dismissed the man with a wave of his hand and the man who shimmered out of the room with a smirk on his face. Cole turned to Trina.
"Shoulders back, head high lets go."
"I'm gonna be sick,"
"No, you're not. Your going to get your act together and we're going to go." He said sharply. She nodded.
"Thanks Dad." Cole watched as she took three deep breaths and wondered if she did that consciously or if she noticed the significance of that to the power of three.
