A/N: Hey, people!! The second chapter of 'Breaking Away' is officially posted!!

"No, Cole. Don't give in. I know you're still in there. I know that you can break free. You did it before. Please, do it again." Phoebe said.

The energy ball disappeared from Cole's hand as Piper and Paige walked in.

"What's going on?" the eldest sister wondered.

"Cole's being possessed by the Source," Phoebe told her.

"The Source? Didn't we vanquish him?"

"Just…don't ask questions. Help me find a way to get it out of Cole…"

And then with a twist of Cole's wrist, the crystals formed a circle around him, and the cage sprung to life.

"Whoa. How did he do that?" Paige asked.

"Does it matter? We need a spell. Cole, got any ideas?" Phoebe asked.

"You're asking me?"

"Well, how was the source able to possess you in the first place?"

"The Hollow. When you vanquished the Source, he was using the Hollow, remember? And I had some of it in me, so I guess he just… went inside of me, I don't know."

"Okay, we should check the book," Piper said.

"No offense, but I really don't think your ancestors had this sort of problem," Cole told her.

"Well, maybe there's a de-possessing spell in there or something."

"Okay, whatever you say, Piper."

"There's nothing in the book," Piper said, joining the sisters and Cole in the center of the room.

"So, what are we supposed to do?" Phoebe asked nervously.

"You have to vanquish me," Cole realized.

"What? No! I am not vanquishing you, Cole."

"Phoebe, it's the only way. There isn't a potion or spell you can use, and you can't let me go and hope I'll be able to keep control over him. You have to."

"But-

"No,"Cole said, "You have to do your job."

"I love you."

He forced a smile, "I love you, too," and then quietley, "I'll find a way back. I promise."

Phoebe stepped back, and they began the spell,

"Prudence, Penelope, Patricia," Piper started.

"Melinda, Astrid, Helena," Phoebe continued shakily.

"Laura and Grace," Paige finished.

"Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, vanquish this evil from time and space."

There was a small explosion inside the crystal cage, and a sonic wave almost knocked the sisters off their feet. When the smoke cleared, Cole was gone, a burn mark on the floor where he had stood.

Phoebe stepped in front of it. The tears flowed freely.
