Chapter 2

When Cole and Piper came downstairs, Prue knew something was wrong.

"What is it? What's wrong?"

Piper slipped her hand into Cole's and smiled, reassuringly at him.

"My mother came to see me. She wants my help, I mean our help in overthrowing the Source."

"I thought your mother was dead." Phoebe said.

"So did I, but I guess I was wrong. The last time I saw her, was when she gave me to Raynor, to train."

"Why does she want to overthrow the Source?" Prue asked.

"They want to be the Source and his queen."

"They? Who's the other demon?"

"Raynor."

"Raynor! The demon who tortured Piper! The one you said you killed! Or was that a lie too!" Leo exclaimed.

"I did kill him, buy my…she brought him back to life!" Cole shouted. Then he stalked out the front door.

"That was uncalled for!"

"Come on Piper, you almost died. How can you stick up for him!"

"Shut up Leo!" she shouted, then she went outside, to talk to Cole.

"I really thought she was…" Cole started to say till piper kissed him.

"I didn't have a great childhood. My mother killed my father, in front of me, when I was two. Then she gave me to Raynor, to train, who gave me to the Source."

Piper held him close and softly said, Poor baby, everyone passed you along and never asked you what you wanted. What do you want?"

"I want to spend forever, with you."

"I love you Cole, never forget that."

While Cole and Piper were outside, talking, Leo saw his chance to get Prue on his side.

"Prue, this is our chance to get rid of Turner."

Prue couldn't believe what Leo was saying. "What are you talking about?"

"It's all his fault Raynor almost killed my Piper. We can get rid of him after we vanquish Raynor and his mother. Then Piper and I can be together, like we were meant to be."

"Stop living in a dream world, Leo. Piper doesn't love you."

"She would if Turner was out of the way."
