Chapter two
Penny looked shocked but quickly covered it up when she noticed distraught Elizabeth
"How did it happen child?" asked Penny gently
"I don't know Mrs Halliwell, One minute I was taking my child to the park the next I wake up to find my husband's blood on my hands" Tears streaming down her face
"Oh honey, I was afraid that was going to happen when Raynor got to you"
"I I didn't want to be a demon and my child to be under the hands of a hundred year old monster"
"The monster is called Belthazar, am I right?"
Elizabeth nodded
"Okay then, Cole is just a boy now, so Belthazar can't do much damage"
"He could hurt Cole, making him witness the destruction that Belthazar will cause" Elizabeth said in a shaky voice
"Not if we keep him away from the underworld and demons"
"Which is why I'm asking you to keep him under your care" causing Penny to stare at her in shock
"Elizabeth I…"
"Mrs. Halliwell, you know I can't take Cole with me, with Raynor still around"
"Elizabeth a son can't be without a mother no matter what the situation is"
Elizabeth tears in her eyes her attention turns to watching her son play with the three girls.
"It's for the best, Cole deserves more than I can give him"
Penny turned her attention to the children. She smiled as Phoebe put mud on Cole's head to resemble a hat. Normally she would scold her but this time it was different.
"Alright Elizabeth you win I will take care of Cole" Penny gave a defeating shrug
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, she knew how the Halliwells witches were stubborn but she knew that Penny loved Cole as if he was her own grand child.
She thought "Now or have your child live a life of terror"
"Cole honey, can you come here?"
Penny became startled as she witnessed Cole orbed himself into Elizabeth's lap.
A tint of anger lingered in Elizabeth's voice
"Cole your not to supposed to orbed in public"
"I'm sorry Mommy" Cole squeaked and shrank back a little
"Evil is starting to affect her mind" Penny thought
"Cole angel your going to live with me for a little while" as she lifted him out of Elizabeth's lap into her own
Cole nodded and eyes facing downward
Anger went away from Elizabeth as she saw her son looking so sad
"I'll visit you sometime little one"
"Promise?" Cole asked in a small voice
Elizabeth laughed and ruffled his dirty black hair
"I promise my little tadpole" referring to Cole's dirty hair causing Cole to giggle
Elizabeth looked around to see if anyone was watching stole a quick kiss on Cole's cheek then shimmered away
Cole then burst into tears and cried. Penny rocked Cole as he wepted
"Don't worry Cole you will see her again" Penny said assuring
"I hope…" she thought
