“ yes paige . . . ? ”

“ i-i mean i was , but as you can see i’m back and . . . alive. i might not be in my old body , but i’m still me , and my hatred for cole is still as strong as ever.

“ yeah, they are . . . i mean i haven’t used them yet — cole would be a good start . but i was told, everything would be the same . i mean, apart from the power of— three . . . ”

“ coles no where to be seen— thank god . he’s either given up , or been scared away . . . ”

“ i don’t think you’re capable of that humour . ”

“ they do say love is blind . ” she replied sarcastically , followed by a laugh . just know if you hurt her cole , you’ll be dealing with myself and paige . ” she warned him— having bonded with her younger half sister over their hatred for him .

“ paige— cole’s back , i think it’s time we deal with him . . . ”

“ i mean when it comes to you , who wouldn’t be ? ”

“ phoebe where are you ?! ”

“ cole , there’s nothing gentle about you . ”

“ we’ve been over this before , paige even told me how you treated phoebe when i was gone . ” it was true— paige had told her eldest sister all about cole and the source , every last little detail was revealed to her .

“ cole , for once you’re making me— laugh . ”

“ but your history seems to repeat itself cole , multiple times . ” it was true , multiple times cole had failed to change his ways— it had only latest a few months before he craved more power .

“ i mean , from what you’ve always shown us , that seems very likely . ” prue wanted to believe cole , though she would never trust him— but she also didn’t want to fail the protection of her sister , any of them in fact .

“ where do you think you’re going ? ” prue called out as she followed cole up the stairs . “ do you think I’m just going to let you walk freely through the manor ? ” for all prue knew this could just be an act for cole to get his hand on the— book of shadows.

“ and . . . joking like that is why i don’t trust you , cole . ”

/ replies will come sometime later— tonight .

“ cole ! ” prue shouted as she followed him into the bedroom— “ there’s no way i’m leaving you in the manor alone ! ” she spat in reply to him . “ if you want to rest , to go your apartment , ” she firmly demanded.
