A/N: This is a play on the show, "As The World Turns". This is also a short chapter. Sorry! moonfirefairy, PrUe AnD AnDy!, and winter blaze, The-Cheese-Fairy: Thanks for reviewing! wyatt333: Cool. Glad you liked the play on the name. ;) charmedsisters: Sorry, but they make for good writing tactics. C.C. McKenna: lol Aw, I love your humor. Hey, maybe I will go get a cup of hot cocoa. That sounds so yummy at the moment! money makes me smile: Yep. rjf2004: Cool. I'm not sure when I'll have it ready to be put up, though. It might take a little while. But I'll be sure to let you know anyway. peanut2lb: Cool! She's a lot like Pam, stubborn and all. I like her, though. It's too bad the show never delve to deeply into Cole's past, with his mother. lol Zythe: Well, that wasn't exactly what I had planned for this plot, but I may do something of that nature later on. (I'm glad you'll be posting the next chapter soon, I can't wait to read it!)
The Children Of Light
Chapter 12: As The Underworld Turners
Phoebe grabbed the piece of paper from the table. "A spell?"
Cole glanced over his wife's shoulder. "A summoning spell."
"Book of Shadows?" Paige asked.
"No." Cole stated, firmly. He quickly snatched the summoning spell from his wife and stuffed it into his jean's pocket. "Leave this up to me."
Phoebe's chocolate eyes narrowed. "But.."
"Phoebe, she's my mother. I know how to deal with her."
"Apparently not!" Paige fumed. "You let your mother take my niece!"
"Hey, I didn't see you doing anything about!" Cole fired back. As his anger overtook him, he fired an energy ball straight into the wall, causing a large hole to form. "I said I'd take care of it!" He turned on his heel and shimmered out, mid stride.

"Do you know where we are?" Evilyn asked, as she kept a gentle hold of Pam's hand.
Pam looked at the large room, squinting her eyes, as if to search her memory for records the building.
"You feel it, don't you? The pull?" Evilyn asked, curiously. She waved her hand and a door formed a few feet away, seemingly out of nowhere. "Come with me, child."
Pam blinding followed Evilyn, acting dazed, as her eyes searched the massive room. Her feet shuffled across the floor, making a calming noise, as she entered the door. A cool draft rustled the child's dark hair and tickled her perfect little nose.
"It's cold down here, isn't it?" Evilyn asked, in an almost caring tone. Definitely different from the one she'd used at the Manor. She helped Pam down a long, winding cement staircase, eventually ending in a vast room. An emerald green light was freely glowing, in the center of the otherwise desolate room. Evilyn's lips curved into an almost devilish grin. She glanced down at Pam, whose eyes were fixated on the emerald light. "It's calling to you." She whispered, as her slender fingers slid away from the child's hand. She was confident that Pam wouldn't leave now. "Go to it."
Pam looked up at Evilyn, with unsure eyes.
"It's okay, it won't hurt you." Evilyn bent down to the child's eye level. "I promise, it won't."
Taking Evilyn's words at face value, she slowly nodded, and followed the pull of the light. She made her way over to the glowing light and stared into it, feeling empowered by just being near whatever it was. "What is it?"
"Your heritage."
Pam's hands slowly reached forward, grasping for the emerald illumination.
"No! Don't!"
TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: BTW, to all of you Cole lovers out there, GUESS WHAT!!!! I heard/read the other night that Julian will be guest starring in the 150 episode ("The Seven Year Witch")! I hope this actually happens and that Phoebe & Cole can make up and have a proper goodbye. Because we all know that Cole was a good guy and that Phoebe really loved him, despite the evil writers. It was the power that was corrupt. And they sure as hell better not do something like they did with Drew Fuller and make it some small, cheesy clip of Cole (or anything where Phoebe hates him). Now, I'm not a Drew/Chris fan, so that really didn't bug me, but if they pull that crap with Phoebe's true love.... ::takes a few deep breaths:: I hope that it proves to be an awesome Cole & Phoebe episode, where Cole can depart the way he should have, with love in the air!
