"Leo!" Piper called from the attic. As Phoebe and Chris flipped through the Book, Leo orbed in.
"What's going on?" He asked.
Piper explained what Chris had said. And Leo replied,
"What? How?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out!" Paige said.
"Hmm..."
"What? What are you thinking?" Piper asked Leo.
"Well, I was supposed to come down here and tell you guys that a demon has been conjuring up vanquished demons. Maybe Cole's revival is connected to that."
"Maybe. Do you guys know who the demon is?" Phoebe asked.
"No."
"Well, it's only a matter of time before we run into Cole. He's going to come here sooner or later." Paige said.
"Wait. Why did he attack you?" Leo asked Chris.
"I don't know. I ran into him and then this weird dazed look came on his face. The next minute, he was throwing energy balls at me." Chris replied.
"But he doesn't know that you're our whitelighter or that you are my son...why would he attack you if he doesn't know you?" Piper said.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm not going to sit around and fathom the motives about Cole." Phoebe said heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Piper asked.
"To find Cole. I'm not going to sit around and wait for him to attack us."
"Do you want one of us to come with you?" Paige asked.
"No. I'll be fine alone."
When Phoebe arrived at Cole's penthouse, he was nowhere to be found. She checked in his room but no one was there.
"Cole? Cole, I know you're here." Phoebe said looking warily around.
Cole appeared from one of the rooms.
"Phoebe...what are you doing here?" He said. His voice was calm.
"What am I doing here? What the hell are you doing here, Cole?" Phoebe said angrily.
"What does it look like? I'm back from the hell you and your sisters sent me to."
"How? How did you get back?"
Cole furrowed his brow and said,
"I don't know...I just suddenly appeared..."
He was confused now. Cole didn't remember how he got back at all.
"You suddenly appeared?" Phoebe said sarcastically. "That's a load of bull, Cole, and you know it. Why did you attack Chris?"
"Chris...that must've been the whitelighter. I saw him and then the next minute I was whirling energy balls at him. I don't know what came over me."
"I can't believe that you're lying to my face." Phoebe said. "Stay away from us, Cole." She walked towards the elevator. "We don't want anything to do with you."
She left the penthouse, leaving Cole to his thoughts.
Cole was sitting on the couch in the living room. Someone had to have brought him back and he was going to figure out whom. As he sat there, deep in his thoughts, a demon shimmered into the room. Cole looked up and saw Barbus, the demon of fear, staring at him. Barbus looked surprised to see Cole here. He had been using this penthouse to gather demons for his new plan, which was to rule the Underworld.
"Well, well, well..." Barbus said. "If it isn't Cole Turner. What, might I ask, brings you here?"
"Barbus...how did you get out of Purgatory?" Cole said, on his guard. He knew what Barbus was capable of.
"Easily, my friend. And I've been out for quite some time and now I have the chance to rule the Underworld!" Barbus was now pacing around the room.
"You? Rule the Underworld? I can't believe what I'm hearing. It's a joke. The Charmed Ones will defeat you before you can form enough followers."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to fail like you and the previous Source did. I'm going to attack them with something I know they can't beat."
"And what's that?"
"Their late sister."
