TrueLovelivesForever, you'll find the answer in this chapter.

Thanks for the reviews. :) I actually don't have much to say now, so hopefully you'll enjoy this story and let me know what you think...

"That's you?"

Phoebe looked at the boy, his innocent blue eyes, turned-up nose and the slight smile on his mouth. She saw the resemblance between the little boy and Cole.

"That can't be," she gasped.

"Well, I was a child once."

"You're sure? I mean...how...how...," Phoebe stammered, not knowing what to say.

Cole observed their location and the boy again, but now closer.

"Well, unless I have a double who wears exactly the same idiotic clothes as me when I was young and walks into the same looking forest where I used to live in the neighbourhood, it's me," Cole commented while he looked with a smile tothesurroundings he seemed to remember.

Phoebe still looked at Cole, the grown-up Cole, in confusion.

"Hm...I probably must have been 7 or 8 years old now. So we've travelled more than 100 years back in time," Cole continued.

"Over 100 years!" Phoebe shrieked, finally enable to say something again. Everything was going wrong today.

"Is everything alright?"

Cole and Phoebe were startled when they heard the young Cole saying these words to them. Phoebe had been in such a surpisement and Cole had been looking at the forest that they hadn't paid attention to the boy. He had found them after hearing Phoebes scream and now he was standing right in front of them.

"Wow, you look beautiful," The boy said to Phoebe in amazement.

Phoebe looked surprised at young Cole and then she looked at Cole, who grinned.

"I guess my taste didn't change in all those years," Cole said.

"What's your name?" Phoebe asked to make sure it really was Cole in his younger years.

"I'm not going to tell my name to strangers," The boy answered. Then he looked frightened to the sun who wasn't shining as brightly as before.

"I have to go," He shouted, while he already ran away.

"He sure is just as mysterious as you," Phoebe said, watching where the boy ran to.

Phoebe and Cole followed the boy carefully who headed toa village. Cole recognized his old house where the boy was now. Cole hid with Phoebe behind a couple of trees.

"Cole, where have you been? I told you to be back in time," They heard a voice say, that was coming out of the house.

A woman walked out of the house to the boy who gave her a scared gaze. She looked back at him with her light blue eyes. Her long brown hair moved because of a slant of wind. She looked around to see if anyone was watching. When she didn't see anyone her shape changed. Her brown hair became white, her face turned dark red, her hands were red as well with long yellow nails. Her blue eyes changed as last into a dark color.

"Don't let it ever happen again," She said to her son, who still looked scared at her.

Her red face changed back to her friendly human face. The boy nodded and followed her willingly back into the house.

"That was my ex mother-in-law? If anyone ever is going to complain about their mother-in-laws again to me..." Phoebe said started at the sight of the woman.

Cole looked at the front door which his mother had closed. It was very strange to see his mother again. It had been a long time since he had seen her for the last time. She hadn't taken care for him for a long period of time. Demons usually have children to increase their powers. Evil couldn't love after all.

"Why did we go back in time to this moment?" Phoebe asked, disturbing his thoughts.

"The spell was

Return to where it all started, that day

when all powers were by the owners

when the dangers were little

when the people and the world were okay," Phoebe tried to answer her question.

"Wait, I remember this...this is probably the day I used my powers for the first time," Cole remembered, when he saw the dark sky and one of the trees beside his house which was cut down.

"For the first time?"

"Yes, this is the day I shimmered for the first time. Three or four demons attacked my house. You know demons among each other fight a lot. They probably came for me, for my powers. The demons attacked my mother and she was wounded. So I shimmered with my mother, but the demons waited by our house and when my father came home...they killed him."

"I'm sorry," Phoebe said, wondering why they never had talked about Cole's past when they were together. Probably because it were only awful memories. She never had wanted to see him as a demon who killed a thousand innocent people for a decay. The past didn't matter, they lived in the here and now. Unfortunately she hadn't seen he was also evil in the here and now.

"I've got an idea, do you remember the ingredients for the potion that stripped my powers?" Cole suddenly said.

"I think I can," Phoebe answered, looking in doubt to Cole. What was he up to?

"We'll use the potion on me...my younger me, so I'll be human and I'll never bring a wounded woman to your lifes. It will bring you back to the future."

"But that means..."

"I'll be dead before I even have the chance to meet you, but that's a good thing, right? All I ever did was making you hurt in the end. You don't even believe in love anymore," Cole saidsadly to Phoebe.

"I don't..."

"Do you have a better idea? We can't stay here forever."

Phoebe didn't know another way to get out of here, so she kept silent.

"What were the ingredients?" Cole asked.

Phoebe remembered the day she was making a potion to strip his powers. She then had made the potion to be with him forever, to have everything from him and now ironically she would make the potion to lose everything from him. A potion to erase everything they had, she would never even meet him.

Phoebe named the ingredients and together they searched for them in the forest and the village. Cole knew the place still very well and it didn't take a long time to find them all. They walked back to Cole's old house and saw the young Cole sitting in the grass. They went towards the boy, who didn't see them, because he was sitting with his back to Phoebe and Cole.

"Throw the potion now," Cole said.

Phoebe had the potion in her hands and looked doubtful to both Coles.

"I can't."

"What!" Cole looked at Phoebe with wide open eyes. Young Cole turned when he heard Phoebe and Cole talking and followed their conversation.

"I ended up lonely and hurt, but I don't want to forget you. I mean, you were the love of my life and we had bad times...a lot, but I can't remember I was ever happier with someone else. I just don't want to lose those memories."

"We have no choice."

Cole grabbed the potion out of Phoebes hands and threw it at the boy, who looked scared at the two grown-ups and the incoming potion. He tried to protect himself through holding his hand before his eyes.

"No! Cole!" Phoebe yelled, watching the potion and the boy.

He felt a cold breeze, like a slant of wind. He opened his eyes and then slowly removed his hands away from his face. He looked at his arms and legs, but nothing had changed. He looked in front of him, expecting to see the woman and man in the strange clothes he had met today, but there were only trees to be seen in the distance.

He stood up, looking if there were some signs left of the couple, but they truly were gone like they've never had existed.

"Cole..."

"Cole...?"

Phoebe heard herself mumbling. She opened her eyes and looked into a bright blue sky. A couple of birds were chirping and she also heard the noise of someone who was mowing the grass.

Little by little she started to remember what happened. Everything what happened. Grams, her mother who passed away early, the cooking skills of Piper, the death of her sister Prue, the meeting with her new sister Paige...everything what happened till today, the day Cole came and threw the potion. She wondered why she still had all those memories, while the moment when Cole threw that potion he should have changed the past. It probably was a weird twist of faith or maybe nothing had changed.

Phoebe got up when she realized she was still laying on the ground. She removed some blades of grass out of her hair. She had the same clothes on as she had been wearing all this day. She looked around. She apparently was found again in someones garden. She walked out of the nicley looking garden and hoped no one had seen her. Then she recognized the surroundings, she was just a couple of blocks away from the manor.

She began to walk towards the manor and to her relief the manor still stood there on the same place as always, safe and solid. She rang the bell and waited eagerly to see her sisters again.

But an older woman who she never had seen before opened the door.

"...who...Piper... Paige," Phoebe stammered.

The woman looked surprised and she started to understand thereupon.

"You mean the Halliwels? They moved out two years ago."

A/N: Siamese, you're going to have to wait a couple of chapters before Cole is going to use some other powers of Paige.
