Piper stared at Cole; she didn't understand why the powers would ask Cole to help her.

"The powers-that-be, you mean the elders?"

Cole smiled.

"No, something higher then them, something which is beyond what we see, beyond life and death. A power you can not even begin to comprehend, something which needs you too remain a good little witch. It's the same power that brought Chris back."

Piper looked up at Cole; her face was filled with shock.

"Chris came back to help Wyatt"

Cole smiled in thought.

"Did he? Are you sure he didn't come back to try and help you?"

Piper didn't understand, why would she need Chris's help.

"Why would you need Chris's help? That's what you were thinking. You died and left him, he never told you why, never explained it. But the powers have given me permission to tell you, to give Chris's work meaning. In Chris's reality you died because you tried to save Wyatt from turning evil. You did everything you could but it didn't matter, a demon killed you and took your son. Chris thought that if he came back he could change that, the powers thought he could change it. But it as only made you more paranoid meaning that all Chris's hard work as gone to waste."

Piper, who didn't have a clue what Cole was talking about through up her arms in confusion.

"What the hell are you talking about Cole?"

Cole shook his head; his smirked vanished

"You're self-destructing Piper. You'll get yourself killed. Is that what you want, to leave your children?"

Piper shook her head.

"Of course not. I would never be so careless as to get myself killed. Anyway why the hell do you care?"

Cole stepped forward.

"Piper, you hate me I get that. But there was a time, not so long ago when we were family. There was a time when I was human and I suspect you liked me"

Piper turned away.

"Don't delude yourself Cole"

Cole grabbed Pipers arm and they disappeared into a bright light. When the light faded, Piper saw that they were in the mausoleum where Cole's father was buried.

Piper looked at Cole sharply.

"Why the hell are we here?"

Cole sighed and walked over to his father's stone coffin.

"I lost my father when I was young; I was brought up by a demon. I was part demon. It was inevitable I would be evil but Wyatt still has a chance. Chris did his job by coming back and warning you. Leo killing Gideon eliminated threat. But there are lots of threats left. You are one of the main threats. If you let yourself, self-destruct Wyatt will turn evil. Only you can end it."

Piper listened to his words and saw the look in his eyes. He was serious and he cared which shocked Piper a lot.

"What do I do?"

Cole smiled.

"Clear you mind Piper. Shut your eyes and think about your sons. Think about seeing them grow up. Don't make your Chris have to travel back in time as well.

You can do this Piper I have faith in you"

Piper shut her eyes and listened to Cole's voice until she heard it no more.

She opened her eyes and saw Leo, Paige and Phoebe standing over her.

"Piper."

She opened her eyes fully and sat up.

He sisters sat next to her.

"Piper are you okay?"

She nodded and walked over to the playpen and picked up Wyatt in one arm and Chris in the other.

"Piper what happened?"

Piper looked down at her sons and smiled.

"I got a little perspective."

Piper walked down the steps to the mausoleum. It had been two days since her vision quest had ended, since Cole had told her what could happen and she felt strange without his presence around her anymore.

She walked over to the stone coffin and sighed.

Cole telling her the truth was what had gained her trust, made her believe him.

Cole had good in him, she knew that. But life had screwed him up.

She sighed and started up the steps of the mausoleum. She turned round and smiled.

"Thank you Cole"

She smiled one last time before leaving the mausoleum.
