Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. If I owned it (which would be superb) I wouldn't have to study civil law at the moment. (Oh, I just rememberred that I should learn instead of write! But who cares! ;)
This story takes place at the end of the season 3 episode „Exit strategy". A few days after Phoebe sends Cole away but before he goes back to the Underworld and kills Raynor. So in a way this is an AU. (But isn't every fanfic an AU?)
Summary: The Charmed Ones judge quickly and it – as always – has consequences. But maybe its not too late to change their mind and with that their future, and of course the future of one Cole Turner.
Please, please review!

Prologue
He decided that he would make a last attempt to win Phoebe's forgiveness. If she says no again then he will leave and won't come back. He didn't have his hopes high though. He knocked on the door of the Manor and then waited nervously.
The door was opened by Phoebe, but the smile that was on her face vanished immediately as soon as she saw who the visitor was.
„What do you want?" she asked coldly.
„Just to talk."
„We have nothing to talk about!"
„Don't you want to know what really happened?"
„I know what happened, because I was there. You killed a witch!"
„I didn't do it on my own will..."
„I didn't see it that way!"
„You don't know what Raynor is capable of!" Cole said desperateley. „You don't know what he's like and what he meant to me!"
„You are right, Cole! And you know what? I'm not interested at all!"
„But Phoebe... I tried so hard..."
Meanwhile the two other sisters joined them as well but this only decreased Cole's chances.
„You had your chance, Cole!" Phoebe said. „Please go!"
Prue stepped closer emphasizing her sister's words.
„I'm sorry Phoebe! I just wish you could understand me better..." he whispered and shimmered out.
Just in that moment a strange whirlwind rose in the hall and the world started to spin around the girls. All three of them stumbled and looked at eachother stunned but then it seemed as if they were flying in different directions and a few seconds later everything went black around them.
