A/N: sry this is kind of a transition chapter. Am working on the next though I don't know when I will be able to update next. Today was kind of lax with hw, I'm not sure about the rest of the week and I'm taking the SATs on Saturday! O and btw I do not owned Charmed or else I would be living in the Halliwell Manor.

O and thanx again to PhantomFan13 and new thanks to littleone0822. I'm glad you find it awesome!

Chapter 4

Nonchalantly Cole walked down the dark staircase that led to the Halliwell Manor basement. The sense of fear grew stronger as Cole began to make out the distinct shape that was Barbas.

"Barbas, dear old friend," even though the Halliwell sisters were unaware of it Cole and Barbas had been through a lot together, "what brings you to this ungodly plane?"

"It seems to be taking me a little longer to gather enough strength to reemerge in the real plane this time. Somehow I ended up in this plane and heard it was where you resided."

"Your informant seems to have informed you correctly." The two old acquaintances conversed over past vanquishes, including a few of their own. After about an hour Cole remembered the current circumstance with Phoebe and shared the occurrence with Barbas.

"I never understood your attraction with that witch. But I would not wish to get between you and, well, anything. So if you wish to continue spying on her I will not stop you. In fact, I may join you. Maybe I can find a way to build on the Charmed Ones fears somehow. Theirs were always particularly strong."

So the two returned to the kitchen. Neither Phoebe nor Piper were there. They just stepped through the door frame when they heard a familiar crash.
