Charmed1s-halliwells: Thanks for your review. Paige and Prue will have a heart to heart talk alone soon. I'll try and not make it seem so rushed.
PhoebeColelovers: Thanks for your review. Sorry it didn't end the way you wanted but the story is not over yet and as for me killing Cole you'll have to read on and see.
Return of the Dead
Chapter 8-Will the Coronation still go ahead?"I don't believe Phoebe takes this long to get dressed," Cole said, "I'm going to check on her."
"No!" Calder shouted.
Cole raised his eyebrows.
"I mean give her another minute," Calder said calmly
"Okay, what's going on," Cole asked suspiciously eyeing Calder weirdly.
"Okay now my Liege don't overreact but em…err there was an attack, the Charmed Ones burst in, we have the best demons taking care of it." Calder said quickly as if it wouldn't sound as bad said quickly.
"WHAT!" Cole bellowed.
"My liege, calm down everything is under co…" Calder began
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Cole yelled angrily.
"We didn't want you to do anything stupid, without all of the Sources powers you are vulnerable and the Charmed Ones can vanquish you," Calder reasoned.
"That's where you are wrong they don't have the power of three without Phoebe," Cole said.
Calder shook his head "The oldest is back"
"Prue?" Cole said questioningly
Cole abruptly took off out of the coronation dungeon.
"My liege where are you going?" Calder ran after him
"To get Phoebe, the power of three can do almost anything," Cole said walking at a very fast pace.
"Please just listen," Calder said breathlessly trying to keep up.
When he finally caught up the look on Cole's face told him all.
"She's gone," Cole whispered.
"My liege the coronation is still on isn't it?" Calder asked inconsiderately
"You" Cole snapped "This is all your fault, if you'd told me sooner I could have stopped her."
"It was for your own safety, you don't need her, you'll make a better Source without her distracting you,"
"You fool without Phoebe there will be no Coronation," Cole shouted throwing an energy ball at the dungeon wall that it shook violently.
In the Manor
A while later after returning from the Underworld, Leo came down the stairs after just putting Wyatt and Chris down for a nap.
Prue, Piper and Paige were standing at the bottom staring into space.
"I just put the boys down for a nap," Leo said pausing when he saw what they were doing, "What are you doing?" he asked.
"We're just worried about Phoebe," Piper sighed.
Once they had gotten back from the Underworld Phoebe had waited for Leo to heal everyone then she had gone up to her room without a word and had not come down since.
"Why don't you all go and check on her, she'll need you all right now," Leo encouraged.
They smiled at each other before climbing the stairs. Once they had reached Phoebe's door they paused for a moment wondering what do you say to your sister who's ex-husband turned into the Source of all Evil and made her evil aswell…twice.
They opened the door to find Phoebe lying on her bed silently crying.
They all went over to her and lay on the bed beside her, not needing any words.
They were all silent for a moment.
"I can't believe he did this to me again," Phoebe sobbed.
"Hey sweetie, shh, it's okay now," Piper comforted.
"Yeah we're not going to let him hurt you again," Paige said putting her arm around Phoebe.
"We've said that before but he keeps coming back," Phoebe cried
"This time we'll vanquish him for good," Piper said confidently
"It was all my fault you guys could have been killed and…" Phoebe began but was cut off by Prue
"It's not your fault you were under a spell,"
"But…
"No buts the only reason we are alive is because of you, you were so strong you broke the spell and took out all those demons," Paige interrupted
"Thanks you guys," Phoebe managed a small smile.
"Thanks to you too," Prue, Piper and Paige said together before they all hugged grateful they had each other.
In the Underworld
"My liege you can't be serious how do you suppose you'll win the witch back without the Sources powers," Calder reasoned
Cole shrugged deep in thought
"The Charmed Ones will come here straight away and vanquish you and I… I mean we did not work this hard to get you here for you to throw it all away," Calder explained.
Cole still didn't say a word.
"Just listen have the coronation become all powerful and then you can win the witch back easily," Calder said hoping he was getting through to him.
"Okay," Cole said quietly
"Think about the power and…wait did you just say okay," Calder asked
"Yes lets have the Coronation," Cole said louder
"That's great news," Calder said enthusiastically.
"Lets go now quickly," Calder said quickly "I mean before the Charmed Ones attack," He actually meant before he changed his mind again.
"Okay," Cole repeated emotionless
"I'll be with you in a minute," Calder said.
Cole left the dungeon leaving Calder alone.
"Everything is going according to plan," Calder said.
"Good," a woman said appearing before him.
"The witch has gone back and he is getting coronated as we speak," Calder explained. "I was just wondering when I will…" Calder started.
"Soon," the Seer said and they both grinned
