Thank you so much for your reviews! Glad to know you didn't like Centennial Charmed either.

I've got this whole story already figured out, so I'm going to try to finish one chapter every week . Unfortunately (well not for me ;) )I'm going on holiday for a week,the next update is probably going to be on Sunday in a week. Now, let's go on with the story...

"I...can you heal her?" Cole asked Leo.

The eyes of the woman in Cole's hands were closed and she could hardly breathe. She had striking red hair. Leo looked again at the kitchen where Piper, Phoebe and Paige were, then he nodded and let Cole into the house. They walked to the living room, where Cole put the woman on the couch.

"Hey Leo, do you...," Phoebe who just walked into the living room stopped her sentence when she saw Cole.

Cole and Phoebe glared at each other for a few seconds. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. Cole brought his attention back to the wounded woman on the couch and Phoebe stared with disbelief to Leo, who avoided her gaze.

"Oh, no. This can't be...," Phoebe said, not believing what she saw. She held on to the wall to have something to hang on to.

She finally had started to pick up her life after all those months, after her life with Cole. And now he returned again...how could he just be sitting so calm and alive here in the manor? He was supposed to be dead. She felt anger coming in herself now she realized this wasn't a nightmare. Anger, because she hated him. Anger, because she loved him.

Piper and Paige walked into the living room, seeing a shocked Phoebe, a worried Cole, a wounded woman on the couch and Leo who was thinking of something to say to explain everything, but couldn't think of anything.

"Aren't you shocked?" Phoebe asked, when Piper and Paige had seen Cole and didn't say anything.

Piper and Paige didn't know what to answer.

"Hello? My demon ex we vanquished just pops in here and that's normal?" Phoebe raised her voice, trying to pervade her sisters.

"Do there ever happen normal things in this house?" Paige asked.

Phoebe stared at Paige, that wasn't the answer she wanted to hear. Piper walked towards Phoebe to tell the truth.

"We've heard Cole returned a few days ago and believe me...I didn't like to hear that," Piper said, while she looked at Leo.

"You knew!" Phoebe asked with even more disbelief. Cole returned and her sisters had kept it a secret for her. It was getting too much for her.

"Can we focus on the most important thing now? Somebody's dying here," Cole interrupted them and he looked concerned at the young lady with the wound in her stomach.

Everybody looked at the woman on the couch who was breathing her last breathes.

She was heavily bleeding. Her eyes were still closed and sweat sparkled at her forehead.

"What? Is that your new girlfriend or something?" Phoebe asked before she realized it sounded jealous.

"She was attacked by a demon and I witnessed it. I only came here because I thought Leo could heal her before she dies. After you heal her, I'll be gone for good," Cole answered. He still had his face pointed at the woman.

Leo wanted to put his hands at the wound of the woman, but stopped because of Phoebe.

"This got to to be a trick or something," Phoebe said.

"So you're just going to let an innocent die, because you don't trust me?" Cole asked, knowing that the charmed ones would always help an innocent in danger.

"I didn't say that. We should talk before we do anything, Piper, Paige!" Phoebe said annoyed, while she stormed off back to the kitchen, followed by her sisters.

"We're sorry, Phoebe. We just didn't want to...," Paige started to explain nervously, but Phoebe cut off her sentence.

"I don't want to hear it, okay? The first thing we're going to do is get rid of that problem in the living room. He must go away out of our house as soon as possible."

Piper nodded and Paige looked slightly up to Phoebe, they still felt guilty for not telling their sister.

"He said he would go away if Leo heals that woman," Paige tried to help.

"Like we can trust him. It's just one of his idiotic plans."

"If he tries to do something, we'll stop him. We always do," Piper said, ready to fight demons.

For a moment it was quiet in the kitchen. Phoebe sighed as a sign to give in. She really didn't want to help Cole in any possible way, but if it was the only way to banish him out of her life, she had to.

"So, you had a fight with Piper?" Cole asked to Leo, who were in the living room.

Leo was about to answer, but stopped when he saw his wife coming back from the kitchen with Phoebe and Paige.

"Hey, don't you two even dare to whisper about me," Piper said.

"Or about me," Phoebe warned. She gave a cross look at the two men.

"And don't whisper about me either," Paige added.

"Why would we whisper about you?"

"Well...I'm...eh cute," Paige said before she sat down on the couch.

"You can heal her, Leo," Piper said to her husband.

Cole gave a gaze at Phoebe, slightly thankful, but Phoebe ignored his gaze completely. Leo held his hands above the wound of the woman. The always shining blue sparkles healed the wound in an instant. The woman opened her eyes and smiled. Then everything went very fast. A light, an attack, a demon. A demon shot electric energy and Piper could duck just in time.

"Table," Paige yelled and she threw the table at the electric demon, but the table went through him.

The grey monster went to the just healed woman and Cole. With one move he threw Cole away from the frightened woman. Phoebe tried to kick the demon, but this attack went through him as well and she landed at the floor. Paige ran to the woman and the demon. She touched the woman with her hand and wanted to orb, but somehow she didn't manage to use her powers. The evil creature screamed and shimmered with Paige and the woman, leaving Piper, Leo, Phoebe and Cole helplessly behind.

"This is al your fault," Phoebe pointed at Cole who was just standing up again.

"I don't know anything."

"Oh, yeah, it's a great coincidene that a demon shows up right at the same time you're here," Phoebe said, not really believing it was Cole's fault, but more to express her anger.

"Yes, because demons never come in this house," Cole answered sarcastically.

"Phoebe, Paige is taken away by a demon. We must find her," Piper intervened, after she had looked with horror at the burnt furniture. The insurance company probably wouldn't cover that.

Phoebe nodded and kept silent.

"Where did Paige's powers go?" Leo asked.

"We'll go look for that demon in the Book of Shadows. Maybe it's a demon who absorbs powers or something," Piper said, while she had walked to the stairs yet.

"We can handle this ourselves. Could you go?" Phoebe looked irritated at Cole.

"It will be my pleasure. Can I have my coat?" Cole asked Phoebe, who was a few metres away from him, already standing with his coat that he had left on the couch in her hands. He reached his hand out to his jacket. Bright blue lights appeared around his hand. The four of them looked shocked at his hand, where his coat now was instead of in Phoebe's hand.

"Oh, crap."
