Chapter Two- Questions and Answers
When Phoebe got home, she went straight to the attic to write a summoning spell. She was determined to bring Drake back, no matter what. "Phoebe what are you doing?" Paige asked who was in the attic at the time. "I'm writing a summoning spell. I'm going to summon Drake and figure out a way to make him mortal." Phoebe replied. "Is that even possible?" "I don't know, but the Elders owe me one, I am going to ask them for help." "But, I thought we agreed no more Elders." Paige said. "I know, but I have to this. I'm gonna have a breakdown if I don't." Phoebe told Paige. "If you don't do what?" Piper asked coming into the attic with Baby Chris. "Phoebe is going to summon Drake and then make the Elders make him mortal." Paige told Piper. "Why? Oh, honey, you don't have to do this. You'll find someone else." Piper said using one arm to hug Phoebe. "Piper, I have to do this. I am sick of everyone I love leaving me. This is the last straw." Phoebe said. "Okay. What do you need us to do?" Piper asked. "Piper! You're actually agreeing with her?" Paige exclaimed. "Yes, Paige, I am. I know how it feels to hurt like she does. It's because of Leo and mine's love that she thinks that she needs to do this. If we survived what we just went through then I think that she thinks she can do this. Let her do this." Piper said. "Why are you acting like this? Did you go crazy while you were out of it?" Paige asked. "No. look I didn't tell you this, but I wasn't alone on that plane I was in. There was someone else there. He helped me let go for Leo to fall from grace. And that helped you believe in love, Phoebe." Piper said. "Who was it?" Phoebe asked. "Well….I don't think you'd want to know…. He's not very high on your Christmas card list." Piper said. "Is it….." Paige began. "Cole. It has to be. What the hell is he trying to do? Damnit. Piper, tell me what he said." Phoebe yelled. "He said that I need to let go and die in order for Leo to hear me and come back. He said that if we get back together, then that would help you believe in love." "But, Drake was helping me do that. Why would Cole want the same thing?" "Maybe you should summon him and find out." Paige said. "That might work. Should we set up the crystals?" Piper asked. "No. I don't think he'll do anything." Phoebe said as she sat down to find the 'to summon a lost love' spell. When she found it she stood up and walked to the center of the room and began to recite:
Wither my love
Wherever you be
Through time and space
Take my heart near to thee
The wind picked up suddenly and then a figure appeared in the room. Everyone was shocked by what they saw. "what are you doing here? The spell wasn't supposed to do that." Piper whispered. "Piper, it doesn't matter, look at Phoebe. It was a good thing this happened." Paige said. Phoebe didn't even hesitate she went straight to the cloaked figure and kissed him. "I thought I'd never see you again…Drake." "Mmm what a welcome." he murmured. "I see you got my letter." "Thank you. But I do have to ask. Why did you come and not Cole. that's who we were summoning." Phoebe asked. Just then two blue orbs came and formed into Leo and the Elder, Sandra. Also another figure shimmered in. "I didn't come because that spell isn't the 'to find a lost love spell'. it's the one to summon a true love. Obviously it didn't work because I am not your true love. He is." Cole said. "We were the ones who decided to let this spell happen this way. Maybe Cole should tell you why." Sandra said. "I was the demon Drake made that deal with. I knew this would happen so I found someone who would be able to make you believe in love again, as well as be able to help you magically." Cole said. "Is this some sick plot to get me back, Cole? Cause it won't work!" Phoebe shouted. "Phoebe, he means it. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here and Piper and Leo wouldn't be together." Drake said. "Look Cole, thank you for helping us, but why? What do you think this will do for you. You won't go to heaven for this." Paige said. "I…I was just trying to help." Cole whispered. "Well, we don't need your help anymore, you can leave." Phoebe said. Cole just looked at Phoebe and turned and shimmered out. "Where did he go? Is he alive?" Piper asked. "No. he has gone back to his plane. But he can not move on." Sandra said. "Why?" Paige asked. "Where does he 'move on' to?" Phoebe asked. "He needs to move on to the wastelands. But he can't do that until you move on, Phoebe. You have to be sure that you don't love him anymore and you have to find a way to prove that not only to him, but also to yourself." Sandra said. "but how can I do that?" Phoebe asked. Sandra just smiled and orbed out leaving the Charmed Ones wondering what to do next.
