Halliwell Manor

"Phoebe what?" Prue asked in disbelief.

Piper looked at her sister and sighed. "She turned evil, Prue... Unfortunately, she's the new Source."

"This can't be true... Are you sure is she really our sister? I don't know, maybe the demon you saw is actually a shapeshifter..." Paige said, frowning.

Piper shook her head. "No, it's definitely Phoebe... The way she looked at me because..."

"Because?" Prue raised an eyebrow.

Piper cleared her throat. "Because of Cole. She's feeling..."

"Betrayed..." Paige finished the sentence for her.

Piper lowered her head. "She stabbed and kidnapped him. She was angry because he defended me, because we're together..."

"She would never hurt him... She likes him," Prue said.

"Our sister is evil now... She said that she wouldn't let him die, but I don't trust her," Piper said, frowning.

"But I do," Paige said, clenching her fists. "I think she was only..."

"Only what?" Piper suddenly asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Cole is her fiancé, Piper... Under the Source's influence or not, she has feelings for him. I think she only wants to work things out with him," Paige explained.

"Work things out?! I told you she stabbed him!" Piper said in disbelief. "She's evil and she has him..."

"Calm down, you both," Prue said, noticing the anger in Piper's eyes. "We need to find a way to save our sister..."

"We need to find a way to save Cole," Piper said with hurt in her voice.

"And we will," Paige said firmly. "But we can't forget who has him now. Phoebe's our sister! We can't just go down to the Underworld and try to vanquish her to free Cole!"

Prue nodded. "Paige's right. If she's really the Source now..."

"She is!" Piper said angrily. "She is the new Source!"

"Whatever," Prue shook her head. "The Source of All Evil or not, she's still my sister and I won't risk her life. We need to find a way to make her go back to normal first."

Piper raised an eyebrow. "And what will happen if we can't save her?"

Prue stepped back. "What are you insinuating?"

"You didn't see her eyes..." Piper said sadly. "I want to save my sister, but I don't want to see her hurting people... She's evil now and we need to find a way to stop her."

"Are you saying that we need to vanquish Phoebe?" Paige asked angrily.

"No," Piper shook her head vehemently. "I'm only saying we can't sit down and watch what's happening. We need to do something to help Cole, he has no powers and he's trapped in the Underworld. I want to save Phoebe, but I want to save Cole too. He deserves better than that."

Prue gasped. "She won't kill him... My sister is not evil, she's a victim."

"If she kills him..." Piper said.

"She won't," Paige assured her. "As I said, she loves him. That's why she took him with her. We need to have faith. I will check the book, maybe there's something in there to help us."

Piper sucked in a deep breath and closed her eyes.

It didn't seem right at all.

The Underworld

The queen's chambers

In the Underworld, Phoebe and the sorcerer looked up at Cole, who was still lying over a large rock.

Then Phoebe started to mutter some ancient spell. A black cloud rose above Cole's head.

She smirked, as the black cloud hit him in the chest and disappeared.

"It's done, he has his powers back," she said proudly, then she turned to face the sorcerer. "Are you sure he will obey me?"

The sorcerer nodded. "I assure you, my queen. He turned again... His loyalty is yours."

At this moment, Cole opened his eyes and picked himself up, looking up at Phoebe. "My queen," he said, lowering his head.

Phoebe smiled at the sorcerer.

She could see in Cole's eyes the difference, she could feel the coldness in his gaze.

He turned evil again.

She walked to Cole and caressed his face. "I missed you," she said quietly. Then she sighed and said loudly. "I have a mission for you."

Cole nodded. "What need I to do?"

"I want you to kill a witch... One of the Charmed Ones, Piper Halliwell," she said nastily.
