Sorry it took awhile, i've been very busy. I've been making jump on things, to make the story progress a little faster.
Chapter 5
Her once brown hair was now as white as snow, her face had al lot of wrinkles, but still she looked liked Phoebe.
'Sit down Cole,' she said nicely and waved at a purple chair next to hers.
As he walked to her he saw the that the wall behind her was full of photo's and that the big one with all charmed grandchildren was hanging in the middle. On the right side hanged the photo of Prue, Piper and Phoebe, while at the left side hanged a photo of Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Cole smiled.
'I never go anywhere without those two pictures,' Phoebe said softly, 'When I die they will go back to the manor, where they belong.'
Cole sat down and laid back, 'You're not planning on going right?'
'No of course not,' she snapped.
'So… how did you know I would come?'
'I maybe pushing my ninety's, but doesn't mean that my powers stopped working.'
He laughed, 'Should've known. So when did you get that premonition?'
'Yesterday around breakfast.'
'Wow, I didn't know I was connected to cereal.'
Phoebe laughed, 'Neither did I. But now I'm curious, why are you here Cole? Why didn't you stay away?'
Cole looked at her and shrugged, 'You wonder why I'm not dead?'
'I am. Paige told me that you were really gone.'
Cole sighed, 'Before I made that alternate reality I was a Avatar.'
'O Cole, why would you do that?' she asked softly.
'I was lonely and crazy Phoebe. My body was full of powers I didn't want. I lost you… I had no other way… When I made that alternate reality I regained my powers of Belthazor and stayed an Avatar. Paige thought she killed me, but in fact we were both send back to the real world. Only she came back to you, while I found myself in a dessert.
The Avatars approached me again, asking if I really wanted this. I declined their offer to join them fully and they freed me of my Avatar powers. Instead I became the man you once felt in love with.' He gave her small smile, 'I decided not to return. But then a few years later I heard you gave up on love, so I send my old pal Drake dé Mon to restore your faith.'
'You had sent Drake to me?' She looked at him surprised as she laid her hand on her heart.
'It was too bad he had to die… well I guess that Cupid wasn't a bad deal for you either.'
'He was my soul mate, I still miss him every day.'
'You have beautiful daughters Phoebe. Celia looks just like your mother and Megan…'
'Looks more like my grandmother,' Phoebe laughed, 'But only from the outside.'
Cole nodded silently and muttered, 'But your granddaughters look like you.'
'Not planning on seducing them are you?'
'No of course not,' he said quickly and accidently slipped, 'Not your granddaughter anyway.'
She looked at him serious and then whispered, 'I feel you are conflicted with your feelings. Wait… someone has the same feelings not far from here… O my god…'
'Phoebe…'
'You have feelings for Prue!'
'It's not what you think.'
'O my god… Wyatt is going to kill you.'
Cole sighed, 'He doesn't have to, because I'm not going to act on it. I barely know her.
'You don't have to,' she answered more to herself than to Cole, 'My god… your heart is… and her heart… it's been a long time since I felt such strong feelings…'
'Phoebe please stop it.'
'Cole, I'm a Empath remember and I was married to a Cupid. I know this stuff.'
Cole stood up and looked at her, 'Phoebe I beg you. Don't tell Prue. As soon as everything is over, I will be leaving again.'
'You will hurt her if you will.'
He moaned quietly, 'You know what I am Phoebe. I will not put her trough the hell I have put you trough… I just won't,' he heard his voice breaking apart.
Her old face smiled up to him, 'You won't, I promise you won't.'
He sat down again, put his face in his hands and inhaled deeply. 'I can't believe you…'
'Cole… you know what, why won't you tell me why you are here…'
He almost had forgotten that he was in her presence for a reason. The Queen… 'I eh.. a few months I heard a rumor about a couple demons… I checked in the Underworld and found out about Hecate.'
'Hecate,' Phoebe said surprised, 'We already defeated Hecate a long time ago.'
'It's not the same Hecate. She was a former witch who was seduced to the dark side… she named herself after the human myth. The goddess of Witches.'
'To bad humans don't know that witches are good..'
'As soon as I heard, I knew she has to be vanquished as soon as possible… I lived in Cairo for a long time and that's how I met Matthew.'
'And let me guess, he wanted to help you immediately.'
'Yeah… he sees it as a opportunity for his generation.'
'I can't blame him. Matt wants to make his own mark in the magical community, instead of being the son or grandson from…'
'Anyway he didn't trust at first and it took me nearly a month to convince him. And then today he brought me to Prue. She wants to beat her to, but she thinks ahead. She convinced him that we couldn't do it with just the three of us. So now he is talking to his cousins and Prue has convinced Gwen to join.'
'And what is my role in this?'
Cole smiled, 'They want to teach from the master.'
****
So you want to teach from the master,' Phoebe said as she folded her old lady hands.
Before her stood the next generation; Matthew, Christopher Junior, Jack and Prue Halliwell and her own granddaughter Gwen Winters.
In the background stood a moody Megan, next to a cheerful Celia.
'Can you teach us the stuff we need to know?' Prue asked. Cole was standing next to her. It was quite a surprise for both the daughters of Phoebe and the cousins of Matt and Prue that the before unnamed ally was in fact the former Source of all Evil. He was also the reason that moody Megan refused to leave the room ("Mother, he was your worst enemy") The younger generation and Celia was a lot more accepting luckily.
'There is a spell to vanquish the source and as the Queen has his powers it will work on her to. We used the powers of our ancestors and you can do that to. But you can make it even stronger by adding Piper and Paige to the mix. In that case you will have the power of three in it, because we already used my oldest sister Prue for the spell.'
'That Queen won't know what hit her,' Matt laughed.
'Don't get to overconfident Matthew,' his great-aunt snapped, 'The Queen probably has a lot of bodyguards. Be prepared.'
'I got the bodyguards covered,' Cole said.
'How heroic of him,' Jack mumbled.
'Impressing Prue,' C.J mumbled back and the two cousins grinned.
'Well then, now we just need the spell,' Prue said while clapping happily in her hands.
The Seer clutched her heart as she started to breath heavy.
'What's wrong?' Hecate asked without a caring tone.
'My vision…'
'What vision? The vision about me?'
'It changed…'
Gain looked from both woman, utterly worried. When the Seer told him about the child his Queen was supposed to bare he dismissed her, but she went to the Queen anyway. Hecate was of course intrigued by the vision of her baring the strongest magical being alive.
'What changed,' Hecate demanded.
'It's not clear, meaning things happened that I couldn't foresee.'
'Than it must be a false alarm. I'm ordering you to concentrate on Balthazor.'
Gain put his hand on her shoulder, 'My lady, it's not her fault. Let us go, we will leave alone to concentrate.'
'Will you keep me company tonight?'
Gain smiled and nodded.
When they left, the Seer sat down. Not everything in her vision changed, the child would come to being, only Hecate would not be his mother.
As the group orbed and shimmered in the throne room, a lot of demons immediately attacked. 'This is going to be fun,' C.J laughed.
Prue let a few demons fly across the room, while Jack used his martial arts on them. Gwen went invisible and knocked a few demons out cold.
Matt used his Molecular Combustion powers and blew a few right to hell, 'This awesome!'
Cole destroyed several demons with his powers, standing back to back with Prue. 'You still think this is a good idea?'
'Yeah defiantly,' Prue yelled, 'It's been a while since we had some action.'
'You like action Prue?' Cole asked playfully, as he destroyed a demon she sent across the room.
'Especially in the bedroom,' muttered Prue on a tone that only Cole could hear.
He jumped aside, while turning to her. She looked at him with a small smile and raised her shoulders. 'What did you say?' Cole said surprised, while killing a demon who wanted to attack Prue from behind.
'Come on Cole, don't tell me you don't want it. '
'I..i..'
'WHAT THE HELL!' a woman's voice was heard.
In fraction of a second everybody turned around.
Hecate looked at the group with a little bit of disbelief, 'Can I help you?'
Cole expected everybody to attack, but instead they all stood motionless looking at the woman before them. 'What are you waiting for?' he yelled.
'Belthazor?' Gain said surprised.
'O my…' Hecate smiled, 'Aren't you a treat.'
However Cole didn't pay attention to her, he took Prue's hand. 'Honey what's the matter? Prue?'
'Honey?' Hecate said with jealously, 'Honey!
'Prue,' he whispered, 'Come on Prue.'
'You belong to me!' Hecate growled, 'Gain kill her!'
Gain threw a fireball at Cole, but he caught it with his hand. 'Don't attack me Gain. You don't stand a chance.'
Gain smirked, 'I think I can make a fair shot Belthazor. You have been away for a while.'
Cole leaned in with his full body, making him taller than Gain. 'Trust me Gain.'
Gain charged a fireball, 'Go to hell!'
In a mere second Cole changed in to his demon form. Belthazor, the form he hated, the form that wasn't him.
Belthazor growled and Gain shot his fireball. Belthazor grabbed the fireball and threw it back. Gain evaded the attack.
'Get out of here Gain and that queen of you with you,' he said with his deep voice.
The demons didn't move and Balthazor sighed. 'Suit yourself.'
His big body moved towards Prue.
'Don't touch her,' C.J said.
'Finally one of you can talk again,' he growled, 'Grab your cousins and orb them out of here!'
C.J hesitated, but then did what the big demon told him. He grabbed Gwen and Jack by their shoulders and orbed out.
'Should we stop them?' Hecate asked.
'No my queen. Let them go,' Gain answered.
Balthazor picked Prue up and changed back to his human form. Cole hold Prue close to him and grabbed Matt by his arm. He shimmered out.
****
'What the hell happened out there?' Cole yelled.
They were in the manor. Prue sat on the couch, her head against Gwen's shoulder. Matt stood against the wall, his face hidden in the shadows. Both Jack and C.J sat on the stairs.
'Answer me!' Cole growled, 'What made you all froze like that?'
'Her,' Matt whispered.
'Who? Hecate?'
'Yes,' Matt nodded.
'Why. Do you know her?'
Prue looked up to him, her icy blue eyes watery. 'She's our sister.'
