The Demon Who Came In From the Cold
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters as they belong to Aaron Spelling productions or Sam, Dean & John Winchester but I do own Melissa Hale.
Authors Notes: This is series two of my charmed season, which’s continuing on without Dan now he’s left.
Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn’t die Darryl Morris Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who worked for the Triad. I’ll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they’ll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.
Extra Note: This episode’s like “The Demon Who Came In From The Cold” but a little different in that the first scene’s not at P Three but Halliwell Manor as the Halliwell’s, Leo, Andy & Darryl who weren’t originally but are here & the Winchesters are celebrating Melissa & Sam’s engagement party. The other difference’s that Cole doesn’t leave the “Brotherhood On The Thorn” to talk to Phoebe Melissa does that via cloaking herself & spying in on the Brotherhood then passing on the information so Cole doesn’t get caught out. Also there maybe a couple extra added scene’s & Raynor appears more in this story than just at the end.
Second Note: The Winchesters & John won’t be in this episode fully as they’ve a hunt to do so leave early on & because the episode’s Cole centred & so will focus on him more for all you Cole fans. Sorry if this doesn’t agree with a lot of you.
Episode Twenty One
Lounge Wednesday Fifth August
The Halliwell sisters, Andy, Darryl, Leo, John, & his sons are there standing in a circle talking whilst holding champagne glasses. There dressed up nice as they’re celebrating Mel & Sam’s engagement party. Leo taps the side of his glass with a teaspoon as to get everyone’s attention.
Leo: If I could just have your attention for a moment guys.
The others stop talking & turn rounds towards Leo who smiles.
Leo: (Smiling) Thank you. Well I’m sure everyone knows why we’re here that’s because my daughter Mel & Sam are getting married.
The two newly engager’s close together smile at Leo’s remark.
Leo: Which actually came quite a shock to Piper & me because originally they weren’t goanna do it but after the events a couple of weeks ago things changed for the better I think because I know Mel couldn’t have found abetter person to spend the rest of her life with than Sam & that he couldn’t have found a better person to spend the rest of his life with than my Mel. Don’t you agree John?
John: Absolutely Leo.
Leo: So if everyone will raise their glasses.
The gang all do that.
Leo: & propose a toast with me to them. Mel, Sam I hope you both have many wonderful times together as I’ve had with my beautiful wife Piper & that your future’s filled with lots of love & happiness. To Mel & Sam.
Everyone: Mel & Sam!
The gang take a drink from their glasses. Mel & Sam kiss each other after soon afterwards. Then everyone separates & does there own thing. Dean walks up to Sam.
Dean: Well, well can’t believe my little brother’s getting married.
Sam: Yeah I can’t believe either.
Dean: Oh come on Sammy we all know you were the one it would happen to.
Sam: It could happen to you Dean.
Dean: Nah! I’m not the family type besides I’d need to be with a girl long enough for that to happen which doesn’t so there you go.
Dean looks at Sam seriously for a minute.
Dean: I’m proud of you man despite everything’s that happened with us Mom, Jess, Yellow Eye you’ve not let that damage you you’ve found something good that’s worth living for hold onto that Sam.
He & Sam hug.
Sam: I will Dean. That means a lot to me thanks.
Dean: No worries.
John walks up to them & shakes Sam’s hand.
John: Congratulations son.
Sam shakes his hand back.
Sam: Thanks dad.
John: I know if your mother was here god rest her soul she’d be very proud of you to.
Sam looks a bit down at the mention of Mary.
Sam: I know dad. I wish she was here.
John: I wish she was here to son.
Dean: Hey guys we’re here to celebrate not look down right?
John: Yes son we are. Shall we?
Over the other side of the room the Halliwell sister’s are admiring Mel’s engagement ring which was Mary Winchester’s wedding ring.
Prue: Oh it’s so beautiful real diamonds & everything.
Piper: (Happy, Upset) Oh sweetie I’m so proud of you.
Melissa: Mom don’t you’ll run you’re makeup of & mine also.
Phoebe: Now there’s, only me left who’ll be unwed.
Prue: Oh I’m sure that’ll happen to you someday Phoebe.
Phoebe: Only If Cole ever stops coming & going all the time.
Melissa: He’ll come back Aunt Phoebe I’m sure of it he loves you too much to keep away he’s just gotta wait until it’s safe & the Source gets bored ousting out for him.
Phoebe: Yeah I know I just have to hold onto that don’t I.
The doorbell rings.
Phoebe: I’ll get it.
She walks to the door & opens it to find Cole standing there. Phoebe looking happy to see him hugs him.
Hallway
Phoebe: (Hugging Cole) Oh Cole I didn’t think I was goanna see you again.
Cole: (Smiling) That’ll never happen wild horses couldn’t keep me away from you Phoebe.
Phoebe: Good. Wait what about the Source what if he.
Cole touches Phoebe’s lips & silences them.
Cole: Don’t worry I’ve managed to give him the slip for now.
Phoebe: For now? So you’ll have to go away again?
Cole looks away from her mournfully.
Cole: Yes but not yet for now I just want be alone be with you if that’s okay.
Phoebe: Yeah its okay I’ll just have to tell the others I’m going out.
Cole: Oh am I interrupting anything?
Phoebe: Not really just Mel & Sam’s engagement party.
Cole looks at her trying to hide his feelings on that.
Cole: Engagement party? Mel & Sam are getting married?
Phoebe: Yeah Sam proposed to her after the whole Barbas incident.
Cole: Oh that’s good really good.
Phoebe: Yeah I knew Mel & Sam were right for each other. Anyway I’ll just tell them what’s happening & I’ll be right back.
Phoebe kisses him then goes of & does that. Cole looks a little downhearted for a moment.
Lounge
Phoebe comes up to her sisters & Mel.
Prue: Who’s it Phoebe?
Phoebe: Cole he’s back well for now at least he wants to see me for a while if that’s okay with you Mel?
Piper: Phoebe its Mel’s engagement party.
Phoebe: I know Piper but I don’t know when Cole’s goanna leave again & this might be the only chance I can spend some real quality time with him.
Melissa: It’s okay Aunt Phoebe I know what it’s like when you don’t get to spend a lot of time with the person you love go on I don’t mind Sam won’t either.
Phoebe hugs her.
Phoebe: Thanks sweetie.
Then leaves & goes back to Cole.
Hallway
Cole: Well?
Phoebe: Its okay Mel knows & doesn’t mind either.
Cole: Really?
Phoebe: (Smiling) Yeah as of now I’m all yours.
Smiling Cole offers his arm to Phoebe
Cole: Then lets go so we?
Phoebe takes his arm & wraps hers round his.
Phoebe: Okay.
They walk out the door. Phoebe closes it.
San Francisco Street
Phoebe & Cole are walking down the street.
Phoebe: So how long can you stay for?
Cole: I don’t know yet. God I hate this.
Phoebe: Hate what?
Cole: The running & the hiding you know. Even if I stop, where do I go? I'm still half human, but I can't go back. On the other hand there's really no place for me in your world either.
They stop & face each other.
Phoebe: What’re you saying?
Cole: I'm just saying it's complicated. But it doesn't have to be, not with magic on our side. I've been thinking, isn't there some kind of spell or something in the Book of Shadows, you could strip my powers with?
Phoebe: Wait, you wanna give up your powers?
Cole: If I don't have them, I can't be tempted to use them I could just stay good & the Source won’t be able to track me.
She pulls him closer.
Phoebe: You’d do that for me?
Cole: Yes I would.
They kiss as a homeless person near by starts yelling.
Homeless Man: Prepare for ‘The Brotherhood’!
Cole looks at the homeless man.
Phoebe: Cole, what is it?
Homeless Man: The thorn’s coming! Stop ‘The Brotherhood’!
Phoebe: Do you know him?
Cole: No, but if he doesn't watch what he's saying...
A demon shimmers in behind the homeless man & pulls him into a long winding alleyway. Phoebe runs towards the alley.
Cole: Phoebe, don't.
Alleyway
The demon’s killing the homeless man with an athame as
Phoebe’s astral self projects in front of them.
Phoebe: No!
The demon throws an energy ball at Phoebe. She projects out then in behind him dodging it. The demon turns round & goes at her. She kicks him in the stomach. He goes at her with a dagger. She grabs his arm, gets the dagger & stabs him. He’s vanquished. Phoebe's astral self projects out & return to her real body as she comes round the corner surveying the situation. Seeing the homeless guy she goes towards him & bends down.
Cole comes round the corner. Phoebe looks up at him.
Phoebe: Where were you? What happened to you?
Cole: You just vanquished my brother.
Phoebe looks on at him in total shock.
OPENING CREDITS
I am the son and the heir

San Francisco Bay & City
Various parts of San Francisco bay and city are lit up whilst Queen & David Bowie’s hit song ‘Under Pressure’s playing.
Mm ba ba de um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two puts people on streets
Um ba ba be um ba ba be
De day da ee day da - that's okay
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher pressure on people, people on streets
Day, day de mm hm da, da ba ba
Okay chipping' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba um bo bo
Be lap people on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people, people on streets turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why? Love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance why can't we give love give love give love give love give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word & love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night & loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves this is our last dance
This is our last dance this is ourselves
Under pressure under pressure, pressure
Sunroom
Cole & Phoebe walk in there
Phoebe: You know, Cole, there's plenty working against us. I just thought at least I could count on you being honest with me.
Cole: I am.
Phoebe: Okay, so you just forgot you had a brother?
Cole: He's not that kind of brother.
Phoebe: Well how many, kind of brothers are there?
Cole: It's complicated.
Phoebe: You know I hate that word.
The engagement party people hearing something going on in the sunroom come into it.
Prue: Hey you two you’re back early. What’s going on? It’s like someone’s died.
Phoebe: Well someone did thanks to me I just vanquished Cole's brother.
Darryl: What? You had a brother? Whoa!
Melissa: That can’t be right you couldn’t have vanquished Cole’s brother.
Piper: Why couldn’t she have vanquished him?
Melissa: Because Cole doesn’t have a brother he’s an only child.
Andy: He could’ve had a brother you didn’t know about.
Melissa: Uncle Andy I lived with his future self for fourteen years I knew a lot about his life to know he didn’t have a brother.
Andy: Okay then.
Dean: Exactly how much do you know about him?
Melissa: Enough.
Cole: Look I didn't want him to see me.
Phoebe: & we lost an innocent because of it some poor street prophet ranting about ‘The Brotherhood’.
Leo: Brotherhood?
John: Brotherhood who’re they?
Melissa: “The Brotherhood Of, The Thorn” They’re an elite gang who answer directly to the Source. He selects the members himself. Then they take a blood oath, life long pledge of loyalty. Cole became a member after the Source had turned him evil through having his mother kill his father & then taking him down to the Underworld & raising him to be a killer.
Andy: Oh god that’s awful.
Melissa: Sure is.
Prue: Hold on a sec if you were a member of this gang.
Cole: Am still a member.
Prue: Whatever you should’ve told us.
Cole: I've done a lot in the last hundred years, its goanna take a while to catch you up. Anyway all that matters now’s they're surfacing. They must’ve something big in the works.
Piper: So why kill a crazy old street preacher?
Leo: Because not all of them are crazy, or human. Some are magical sears who can pre-see actual events. But they're loud, dirty, so people ignore them. If Darryl, Andy call the station I bet they'll tell you other prophets have been killed too.
Phoebe: For what? Just by talking about your... this gang?
John Winchester’s cell goes off he gets it out his pocket & sees who’s calling. It’s Bobby.
John: Excuse me a moment.
He walks off & answers it.
John: Yeah Bobby go ahead.
Melissa talks meanwhile.
Melissa: ‘The Brotherhood’ can't risk anyone figuring out what they're up to.
Sam: How do you know have you fought them before in the future?
Melissa: No I just knew about them through Cole telling me.
Dean: Okay, so what’re they up to?
Cole: I’ve no idea. I'm not exactly a member of good standing anymore.
Phoebe: The Prophet that I was trying to save was talking about Lexserom.
Piper: The Internet provider? What, the demons want their own website now?
Prue: No, there must be more to it than that. Alright, Phoebe, you check the net, Piper, you got ‘The Book Of Shadows’.
Melissa: I wouldn’t bother it won’t work “The Brotherhood” are much bigger opponents than you’ve ever faced.
Leo: Mel’s right researching & just vanquishing them won’t help.
Phoebe: So we can't just let them go. Okay there's gotta be a way to find out what they're planning.
Cole: There’s one way. I go back.
Melissa: (Worried) You can’t be serious they’ll kill you.
Cole: If you want to know what they're up to we’ve no choice.
Phoebe: Cole you'll be exposing yourself to the Source.
Cole: Maybe not. They've probably already surfaced, set up camp in this world. I won't have to go under completely.
Prue: It does kind of make sense.
Phoebe: No it doesn’t.
Cole: This isn't about her, Phoebe, it's about me.
Phoebe: No, Cole it's about us.
Phoebe leaves the room.
Cooperate Building
A demon Tarkin & a woman Klea are walking towards another demon called Vornac.
Klea: We might’ve a problem.
Vornac: One of the Prophets?
Klea: No, although the ones we've targeted have been taken out, including Triggs.
Vornac: So what’s up then?
Tarkin: Triggs is missing. I haven't been able to find him anywhere, which means someone’s onto our plan.
Vornac: Impossible as long as the Prophets are dead. Keep searching for our brother. I’ve to complete my assimilation, we must move forward.
Nodding Klea shimmers out.
Hallway
The Halliwell’s, Melissa & Leo walk downstairs.
Piper: I'm worried, & not just about Cole but also Phoebe. I mean, sending him back under is like sending an alcoholic to a kegger. It's just setting him up to fall.
Leo: I agree.
They come into the sunroom.
Sunroom
The Winchesters are standing there.
Melissa: Hey guys.
Sam: Hey honey how’s Phoebe?
Prue: Not good.
Dean: Yeah it’s understandable. What a way to break up an
engagement party though.
Leo: Yeah but it can’t be helped.
John: Of course not.
Prue: Hey where’s, Darryl & Andy?
Sam: Gone to the police station to see what they can find out
about the Prophets.
Melissa: Okay.
Dean: So what will you’s do?
Leo: We’re not sure yet.
Sam: Maybe Phoebe can talk him out of it. Reason him with him.
Melissa: Won’t work Cole’s a stubborn man when he means to
do something he means it which’s why we need another plan.
John: Wish we could help you but we can’t Bobby called earlier
he has a hunt for us down in Ohio sorry.
Piper: That’s okay we all gotta a job to do right?
Sam: Yep.
He moves forward towards Melissa.
Sam: Listen I call you when we’re done okay?
Melissa: Okay.
She touches his left cheek with her right hand.
Melissa: Be careful.
Sam: You too. I love you.
Melissa: I love you too.
They kiss each other for a few seconds then break up.
John: Alright boys lets go.
Sam/Dean: Okay.
Leo walks them out to the front door then closes it behind once
there gone & returns to the Sunroom.
Leo: So what’re we goanna do?
Prue: I don’t know maybe there’s something in the ‘Book Of
Shadows’ that’ll help.
Melissa: I know something that can be done.
Leo: What?
Melissa: I’ll know more when I talk it over.
Melissa leaves & goes upstairs to the Attic.
Attic
Phoebe & Cole are there. Phoebe’s getting some ingredients
together.
Cole: Phoebe, I have to go.
Phoebe: Nope, you can't.
Cole: Phoebe.
Phoebe: Remember that power stripping potion you asked me
for, like an hour ago, & everything was still wonderful? Well, I’ve
an idea, I just need some time.
Phoebe stirs some ingredients together using a mortar & pestle.
Cole: Phoebe, I have to go. & I'll need my powers while I'm gone.
Phoebe: Why? What’re you goanna do?
Cole: Just blend in. That's it. I won't do anything evil.
Phoebe: Well let me make sure you can’t.
She continues to stir the ingredients quickly. Cole stops her &
puts the mortar & pestle down.
Cole: I'll be smart, & careful. I'll check in with you every two
hours.
Phoebe: How? They'll track your shimmer.
Cole: Not if we meet in the mausoleum. That's the second safest
place I know.
Phoebe: & what's the safest?
Cole: With you.
Phoebe sighs.
Cole I thought you'd be proud of me.
Phoebe: Of what? Being suicidal?
Cole: I am coming back. I always have.
Phoebe: Yeah, how can you be so sure that you're goanna come
back this time? Cole, you've been hiding from them for months. &
I don't understand, there's a price on your head & now all of a
sudden you're willing to expose yourself? For what?
Cole: For good. You taught me not to walk away & let evil win, to
fight the good fight. That's all I wanna do.
Phoebe: How do I know they won’t find you out & kill you if you
go there?
Melissa hearing this comes in.
Melissa: Because Cole won’t go there I will.
Hearing her Phoebe turns round.
Phoebe: Mel what’re you talking about?
Melissa: Cole will go back there & blend in like he’s goanna & still
let you know what’s going on without ever leaving.
Phoebe: How will he be able to do that on his own?
Melissa: He won’t be on his own I’ll be there hiding in plain sight
listening to everything there saying then two hrs later I’ll check in
with you at the Mausoleum.
Cole: (Worried) No Mel you can’t it’s too dangerous.
Melissa: Oh & what your doing isn’t. If we do it that way they
won’t suspect you of anything ‘cause you never left in the first
place.
Cole: & what if someone there senses you.
Melissa: Then we’ll have to hope somebody doesn’t.
Cooperate Building
Cole’s walking down a long corridor with a sack containing the
dead Prophets head inside it. Melissa’s behind him invisible but
he can still see her.
Melissa: Remember stay calm blend in as you do & don’t make it
look too obvious you know someone else’s in the room.
He turns round & faces her.
Cole: I know how to do my job Mel.
Melissa: I know I’m just repeating so you know. & if anything
happens I’ve got some backup in my pocket that’ll help out.
Cole: But there’s nothing out there that’ll kill ‘The Brotherhood’.
Melissa moves close showing him what she’s got.
Melissa: This won’t kill them but it’ll certainly hurt them.
Cole tries acting calmly round her.
Cole: Um well then we should be getting on hey?
He turns round walking onward towards Vornac's office. Klea
sees Cole but not Melissa.
Vornac’s Office
Klea: Vornac.
Vornac & Tarkin turn around.
Vornac: Well, well look, who’s back.
Tarkin: Kill him?
Vornac: In a minute.
Cole walks in the office with Melissa behind him who goes over to
one side of the room.
Vornac: Belthazor, come in, come in.
A guard shuts the door.
Vornac: Nice of you to come home to die.
Cole: Actually, I came to help. I overheard the Prophets talking.
Afraid they'll spoil your plan.
Tarkin: What makes you think we have one?
Cole: Tarkin, you always have a plan.
Vornac: & after everything you've done, you think you can just
walk back in & pick up where you left off?
Cole: I'm here to do what's right, Vornac for ‘The Brotherhood’.
Melissa continues listening inventively.
Vornac: Really? & what can you possibly offer that will save your
traitoress head?
Cole gets the dead Prophets head out of the sack he’s holding &
drops it on the floor.
Cole: The Prophets.
Coming up behind him Tarkin grabs Cole & throws his head face
down on the table in front. Melissa’s about to do something but
Cole stops her with a look that tells her not to. The others don’t
notice this.
Vornac: You actually expect me to believe you killed the Prophet?
Cole: He was a threat to you.
Vornac: Ahh, a bounty on your head & yet you still think of us.
Cole: ‘The Brotherhood’ comes first.
Vornac: Words to live or die by.
Tarkin: Triggs was assigned to kill that Prophet. Did you see him?
Cole: No. How’s my old friend anyway?
Tarkin lets Cole up.
Vornac: Your old friend missing suspiciously.
Cole: Brothers missing, Prophets talking, & I had no trouble
tracking you down pretty careless. What will Raynor think of this?
Vornac: Raynor thinks you're a disgrace.
Cole: Why? Because I killed the Triad.
Tarkin: Isn't that enough?
Cole: They were plotting to kill the Source so they could take
over, which means they would’ve killed every other demon in his
inner circle including Raynor.
Tarkin: We never did trust the Triad.
Vornac: Then why didn't he come back & explain himself, hmm?
Why run?
Cole: Because I had no proof, that's why. I knew nobody would
believe me.
Vornac: Brothers for a hundred years & you disappeared without
a word, left us with the rumours, the accusations. Were you
thinking about ‘The Brotherhood’ then? Check his story Klea.
Klea shimmers out.
Tarkin: Back to work. So, who we after?
Vornac: Not your concern. Until Klea returns he goes nowhere.
Vornac shimmers out.
Cole: He always was a tight-ass, wasn't he?
Tarkin: Do you blame him?
Cole: No.
Tarkin: It's nice to have you back, Belthazor. I just hope it's for
good.
He quickly steals a glance at Melissa who turns round leaving the
room then turns back to Tarkin.
Cole: Yeah, me too.
Authors Note: Whoa, oh Cole's really got himself into a pickle this time hasn't he. Will he be able to get out or will 'The Brotherhood' find him out? Will they find Melissa out or will the Charmed Ones stop them before that happens. Read on & find out.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters as they belong to Aaron Spelling productions or Sam, Dean & John Winchester but I do own Melissa Hale.
Authors Notes: This is series two of my charmed season, which’s continuing on without Dan now he’s left.
Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn’t die Darryl Morris Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who worked for the Triad. I’ll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they’ll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.
Extra Note: This episode’s like “The Demon Who Came In From The Cold” but a little different in that the first scene’s not at P Three but Halliwell Manor as the Halliwell’s, Leo, Andy & Darryl who weren’t originally but are here & the Winchesters are celebrating Melissa & Sam’s engagement party. The other difference’s that Cole doesn’t leave the “Brotherhood On The Thorn” to talk to Phoebe Melissa does that via cloaking herself & spying in on the Brotherhood then passing on the information so Cole doesn’t get caught out. Also there maybe a couple extra added scene’s & Raynor appears more in this story than just at the end.
Second Note: The Winchesters & John won’t be in this episode fully as they’ve a hunt to do so leave early on & because the episode’s Cole centred & so will focus on him more for all you Cole fans. Sorry if this doesn’t agree with a lot of you.
Episode Twenty One
Lounge Wednesday Fifth August
The Halliwell sisters, Andy, Darryl, Leo, John, & his sons are there standing in a circle talking whilst holding champagne glasses. There dressed up nice as they’re celebrating Mel & Sam’s engagement party. Leo taps the side of his glass with a teaspoon as to get everyone’s attention.
Leo: If I could just have your attention for a moment guys.
The others stop talking & turn rounds towards Leo who smiles.
Leo: (Smiling) Thank you. Well I’m sure everyone knows why we’re here that’s because my daughter Mel & Sam are getting married.
The two newly engager’s close together smile at Leo’s remark.
Leo: Which actually came quite a shock to Piper & me because originally they weren’t goanna do it but after the events a couple of weeks ago things changed for the better I think because I know Mel couldn’t have found abetter person to spend the rest of her life with than Sam & that he couldn’t have found a better person to spend the rest of his life with than my Mel. Don’t you agree John?
John: Absolutely Leo.
Leo: So if everyone will raise their glasses.

Dean: Well, well can’t believe my little brother’s getting married.
Sam: Yeah I can’t believe either.
Dean: Oh come on Sammy we all know you were the one it would happen to.
Sam: It could happen to you Dean.
Dean: Nah! I’m not the family type besides I’d need to be with a girl long enough for that to happen which doesn’t so there you go.
Dean looks at Sam seriously for a minute.
Dean: I’m proud of you man despite everything’s that happened with us Mom, Jess, Yellow Eye you’ve not let that damage you you’ve found something good that’s worth living for hold onto that Sam.
He & Sam hug.
Sam: I will Dean. That means a lot to me thanks.

John walks up to them & shakes Sam’s hand.
John: Congratulations son.
Sam shakes his hand back.
Sam: Thanks dad.
John: I know if your mother was here god rest her soul she’d be very proud of you to.
Sam looks a bit down at the mention of Mary.
Sam: I know dad. I wish she was here.
John: I wish she was here to son.
Dean: Hey guys we’re here to celebrate not look down right?
John: Yes son we are. Shall we?
Over the other side of the room the Halliwell sister’s are admiring Mel’s engagement ring which was Mary Winchester’s wedding ring.
Prue: Oh it’s so beautiful real diamonds & everything.
Piper: (Happy, Upset) Oh sweetie I’m so proud of you.
Melissa: Mom don’t you’ll run you’re makeup of & mine also.
Phoebe: Now there’s, only me left who’ll be unwed.
Prue: Oh I’m sure that’ll happen to you someday Phoebe.
Phoebe: Only If Cole ever stops coming & going all the time.
Melissa: He’ll come back Aunt Phoebe I’m sure of it he loves you too much to keep away he’s just gotta wait until it’s safe & the Source gets bored ousting out for him.
Phoebe: Yeah I know I just have to hold onto that don’t I.
The doorbell rings.
Phoebe: I’ll get it.
She walks to the door & opens it to find Cole standing there. Phoebe looking happy to see him hugs him.
Hallway
Phoebe: (Hugging Cole) Oh Cole I didn’t think I was goanna see you again.
Cole: (Smiling) That’ll never happen wild horses couldn’t keep me away from you Phoebe.
Phoebe: Good. Wait what about the Source what if he.
Cole touches Phoebe’s lips & silences them.
Cole: Don’t worry I’ve managed to give him the slip for now.
Phoebe: For now? So you’ll have to go away again?
Cole looks away from her mournfully.
Cole: Yes but not yet for now I just want be alone be with you if that’s okay.
Phoebe: Yeah its okay I’ll just have to tell the others I’m going out.
Cole: Oh am I interrupting anything?
Phoebe: Not really just Mel & Sam’s engagement party.
Cole looks at her trying to hide his feelings on that.
Cole: Engagement party? Mel & Sam are getting married?
Phoebe: Yeah Sam proposed to her after the whole Barbas incident.
Cole: Oh that’s good really good.
Phoebe: Yeah I knew Mel & Sam were right for each other. Anyway I’ll just tell them what’s happening & I’ll be right back.
Phoebe kisses him then goes of & does that. Cole looks a little downhearted for a moment.
Lounge
Phoebe comes up to her sisters & Mel.
Prue: Who’s it Phoebe?
Phoebe: Cole he’s back well for now at least he wants to see me for a while if that’s okay with you Mel?
Piper: Phoebe its Mel’s engagement party.
Phoebe: I know Piper but I don’t know when Cole’s goanna leave again & this might be the only chance I can spend some real quality time with him.
Melissa: It’s okay Aunt Phoebe I know what it’s like when you don’t get to spend a lot of time with the person you love go on I don’t mind Sam won’t either.
Phoebe hugs her.
Phoebe: Thanks sweetie.
Then leaves & goes back to Cole.
Hallway
Cole: Well?
Phoebe: Its okay Mel knows & doesn’t mind either.
Cole: Really?
Phoebe: (Smiling) Yeah as of now I’m all yours.
Smiling Cole offers his arm to Phoebe
Cole: Then lets go so we?
Phoebe takes his arm & wraps hers round his.
Phoebe: Okay.
They walk out the door. Phoebe closes it.
San Francisco Street
Phoebe & Cole are walking down the street.
Phoebe: So how long can you stay for?
Cole: I don’t know yet. God I hate this.
Phoebe: Hate what?
Cole: The running & the hiding you know. Even if I stop, where do I go? I'm still half human, but I can't go back. On the other hand there's really no place for me in your world either.
They stop & face each other.
Phoebe: What’re you saying?
Cole: I'm just saying it's complicated. But it doesn't have to be, not with magic on our side. I've been thinking, isn't there some kind of spell or something in the Book of Shadows, you could strip my powers with?
Phoebe: Wait, you wanna give up your powers?
Cole: If I don't have them, I can't be tempted to use them I could just stay good & the Source won’t be able to track me.
She pulls him closer.
Phoebe: You’d do that for me?
Cole: Yes I would.
They kiss as a homeless person near by starts yelling.
Homeless Man: Prepare for ‘The Brotherhood’!
Cole looks at the homeless man.
Phoebe: Cole, what is it?
Homeless Man: The thorn’s coming! Stop ‘The Brotherhood’!
Phoebe: Do you know him?
Cole: No, but if he doesn't watch what he's saying...
A demon shimmers in behind the homeless man & pulls him into a long winding alleyway. Phoebe runs towards the alley.
Cole: Phoebe, don't.
Alleyway
The demon’s killing the homeless man with an athame as
Phoebe’s astral self projects in front of them.
Phoebe: No!
The demon throws an energy ball at Phoebe. She projects out then in behind him dodging it. The demon turns round & goes at her. She kicks him in the stomach. He goes at her with a dagger. She grabs his arm, gets the dagger & stabs him. He’s vanquished. Phoebe's astral self projects out & return to her real body as she comes round the corner surveying the situation. Seeing the homeless guy she goes towards him & bends down.
Cole comes round the corner. Phoebe looks up at him.
Phoebe: Where were you? What happened to you?
Cole: You just vanquished my brother.
Phoebe looks on at him in total shock.

San Francisco Bay & City
Various parts of San Francisco bay and city are lit up whilst Queen & David Bowie’s hit song ‘Under Pressure’s playing.
Mm ba ba de um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two puts people on streets
Um ba ba be um ba ba be
De day da ee day da - that's okay
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher pressure on people, people on streets
Day, day de mm hm da, da ba ba
Okay chipping' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba um bo bo
Be lap people on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people, people on streets turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why? Love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance why can't we give love give love give love give love give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word & love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night & loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves this is our last dance
This is our last dance this is ourselves
Under pressure under pressure, pressure
Sunroom
Cole & Phoebe walk in there
Phoebe: You know, Cole, there's plenty working against us. I just thought at least I could count on you being honest with me.
Cole: I am.
Phoebe: Okay, so you just forgot you had a brother?
Cole: He's not that kind of brother.
Phoebe: Well how many, kind of brothers are there?
Cole: It's complicated.
Phoebe: You know I hate that word.
The engagement party people hearing something going on in the sunroom come into it.
Prue: Hey you two you’re back early. What’s going on? It’s like someone’s died.
Phoebe: Well someone did thanks to me I just vanquished Cole's brother.
Darryl: What? You had a brother? Whoa!
Melissa: That can’t be right you couldn’t have vanquished Cole’s brother.
Piper: Why couldn’t she have vanquished him?
Melissa: Because Cole doesn’t have a brother he’s an only child.
Andy: He could’ve had a brother you didn’t know about.
Melissa: Uncle Andy I lived with his future self for fourteen years I knew a lot about his life to know he didn’t have a brother.
Andy: Okay then.
Dean: Exactly how much do you know about him?
Melissa: Enough.
Cole: Look I didn't want him to see me.
Phoebe: & we lost an innocent because of it some poor street prophet ranting about ‘The Brotherhood’.
Leo: Brotherhood?
John: Brotherhood who’re they?
Melissa: “The Brotherhood Of, The Thorn” They’re an elite gang who answer directly to the Source. He selects the members himself. Then they take a blood oath, life long pledge of loyalty. Cole became a member after the Source had turned him evil through having his mother kill his father & then taking him down to the Underworld & raising him to be a killer.
Andy: Oh god that’s awful.
Melissa: Sure is.
Prue: Hold on a sec if you were a member of this gang.
Cole: Am still a member.
Prue: Whatever you should’ve told us.
Cole: I've done a lot in the last hundred years, its goanna take a while to catch you up. Anyway all that matters now’s they're surfacing. They must’ve something big in the works.
Piper: So why kill a crazy old street preacher?
Leo: Because not all of them are crazy, or human. Some are magical sears who can pre-see actual events. But they're loud, dirty, so people ignore them. If Darryl, Andy call the station I bet they'll tell you other prophets have been killed too.
Phoebe: For what? Just by talking about your... this gang?
John Winchester’s cell goes off he gets it out his pocket & sees who’s calling. It’s Bobby.
John: Excuse me a moment.
He walks off & answers it.
John: Yeah Bobby go ahead.
Melissa talks meanwhile.
Melissa: ‘The Brotherhood’ can't risk anyone figuring out what they're up to.
Sam: How do you know have you fought them before in the future?
Melissa: No I just knew about them through Cole telling me.
Dean: Okay, so what’re they up to?
Cole: I’ve no idea. I'm not exactly a member of good standing anymore.
Phoebe: The Prophet that I was trying to save was talking about Lexserom.
Piper: The Internet provider? What, the demons want their own website now?
Prue: No, there must be more to it than that. Alright, Phoebe, you check the net, Piper, you got ‘The Book Of Shadows’.
Melissa: I wouldn’t bother it won’t work “The Brotherhood” are much bigger opponents than you’ve ever faced.
Leo: Mel’s right researching & just vanquishing them won’t help.
Phoebe: So we can't just let them go. Okay there's gotta be a way to find out what they're planning.
Cole: There’s one way. I go back.
Melissa: (Worried) You can’t be serious they’ll kill you.
Cole: If you want to know what they're up to we’ve no choice.
Phoebe: Cole you'll be exposing yourself to the Source.
Cole: Maybe not. They've probably already surfaced, set up camp in this world. I won't have to go under completely.
Prue: It does kind of make sense.
Phoebe: No it doesn’t.
Cole: This isn't about her, Phoebe, it's about me.
Phoebe: No, Cole it's about us.
Phoebe leaves the room.
Cooperate Building
A demon Tarkin & a woman Klea are walking towards another demon called Vornac.
Klea: We might’ve a problem.
Vornac: One of the Prophets?
Klea: No, although the ones we've targeted have been taken out, including Triggs.
Vornac: So what’s up then?
Tarkin: Triggs is missing. I haven't been able to find him anywhere, which means someone’s onto our plan.
Vornac: Impossible as long as the Prophets are dead. Keep searching for our brother. I’ve to complete my assimilation, we must move forward.
Nodding Klea shimmers out.
Hallway
The Halliwell’s, Melissa & Leo walk downstairs.
Piper: I'm worried, & not just about Cole but also Phoebe. I mean, sending him back under is like sending an alcoholic to a kegger. It's just setting him up to fall.
Leo: I agree.
They come into the sunroom.
Sunroom
The Winchesters are standing there.
Melissa: Hey guys.
Sam: Hey honey how’s Phoebe?
Prue: Not good.
Dean: Yeah it’s understandable. What a way to break up an
engagement party though.
Leo: Yeah but it can’t be helped.
John: Of course not.
Prue: Hey where’s, Darryl & Andy?
Sam: Gone to the police station to see what they can find out
about the Prophets.
Melissa: Okay.
Dean: So what will you’s do?
Leo: We’re not sure yet.
Sam: Maybe Phoebe can talk him out of it. Reason him with him.
Melissa: Won’t work Cole’s a stubborn man when he means to
do something he means it which’s why we need another plan.
John: Wish we could help you but we can’t Bobby called earlier
he has a hunt for us down in Ohio sorry.
Piper: That’s okay we all gotta a job to do right?
Sam: Yep.
He moves forward towards Melissa.
Sam: Listen I call you when we’re done okay?
Melissa: Okay.
She touches his left cheek with her right hand.
Melissa: Be careful.
Sam: You too. I love you.
Melissa: I love you too.
They kiss each other for a few seconds then break up.
John: Alright boys lets go.
Sam/Dean: Okay.
Leo walks them out to the front door then closes it behind once
there gone & returns to the Sunroom.
Leo: So what’re we goanna do?
Prue: I don’t know maybe there’s something in the ‘Book Of
Shadows’ that’ll help.
Melissa: I know something that can be done.
Leo: What?
Melissa: I’ll know more when I talk it over.
Melissa leaves & goes upstairs to the Attic.
Attic
Phoebe & Cole are there. Phoebe’s getting some ingredients
together.
Cole: Phoebe, I have to go.
Phoebe: Nope, you can't.
Cole: Phoebe.
Phoebe: Remember that power stripping potion you asked me
for, like an hour ago, & everything was still wonderful? Well, I’ve
an idea, I just need some time.
Phoebe stirs some ingredients together using a mortar & pestle.
Cole: Phoebe, I have to go. & I'll need my powers while I'm gone.
Phoebe: Why? What’re you goanna do?
Cole: Just blend in. That's it. I won't do anything evil.
Phoebe: Well let me make sure you can’t.
She continues to stir the ingredients quickly. Cole stops her &
puts the mortar & pestle down.
Cole: I'll be smart, & careful. I'll check in with you every two
hours.
Phoebe: How? They'll track your shimmer.
Cole: Not if we meet in the mausoleum. That's the second safest
place I know.
Phoebe: & what's the safest?
Cole: With you.
Phoebe sighs.
Cole I thought you'd be proud of me.
Phoebe: Of what? Being suicidal?
Cole: I am coming back. I always have.
Phoebe: Yeah, how can you be so sure that you're goanna come
back this time? Cole, you've been hiding from them for months. &
I don't understand, there's a price on your head & now all of a
sudden you're willing to expose yourself? For what?
Cole: For good. You taught me not to walk away & let evil win, to
fight the good fight. That's all I wanna do.
Phoebe: How do I know they won’t find you out & kill you if you
go there?
Melissa hearing this comes in.
Melissa: Because Cole won’t go there I will.
Hearing her Phoebe turns round.
Phoebe: Mel what’re you talking about?
Melissa: Cole will go back there & blend in like he’s goanna & still
let you know what’s going on without ever leaving.
Phoebe: How will he be able to do that on his own?
Melissa: He won’t be on his own I’ll be there hiding in plain sight
listening to everything there saying then two hrs later I’ll check in
with you at the Mausoleum.
Cole: (Worried) No Mel you can’t it’s too dangerous.
Melissa: Oh & what your doing isn’t. If we do it that way they
won’t suspect you of anything ‘cause you never left in the first
place.
Cole: & what if someone there senses you.
Melissa: Then we’ll have to hope somebody doesn’t.
Cooperate Building
Cole’s walking down a long corridor with a sack containing the
dead Prophets head inside it. Melissa’s behind him invisible but
he can still see her.
Melissa: Remember stay calm blend in as you do & don’t make it
look too obvious you know someone else’s in the room.
He turns round & faces her.
Cole: I know how to do my job Mel.
Melissa: I know I’m just repeating so you know. & if anything
happens I’ve got some backup in my pocket that’ll help out.
Cole: But there’s nothing out there that’ll kill ‘The Brotherhood’.
Melissa moves close showing him what she’s got.
Melissa: This won’t kill them but it’ll certainly hurt them.
Cole tries acting calmly round her.
Cole: Um well then we should be getting on hey?
He turns round walking onward towards Vornac's office. Klea
sees Cole but not Melissa.
Vornac’s Office
Klea: Vornac.
Vornac & Tarkin turn around.
Vornac: Well, well look, who’s back.
Tarkin: Kill him?
Vornac: In a minute.
Cole walks in the office with Melissa behind him who goes over to
one side of the room.
Vornac: Belthazor, come in, come in.
A guard shuts the door.
Vornac: Nice of you to come home to die.
Cole: Actually, I came to help. I overheard the Prophets talking.
Afraid they'll spoil your plan.
Tarkin: What makes you think we have one?
Cole: Tarkin, you always have a plan.
Vornac: & after everything you've done, you think you can just
walk back in & pick up where you left off?
Cole: I'm here to do what's right, Vornac for ‘The Brotherhood’.
Melissa continues listening inventively.
Vornac: Really? & what can you possibly offer that will save your
traitoress head?
Cole gets the dead Prophets head out of the sack he’s holding &
drops it on the floor.
Cole: The Prophets.
Coming up behind him Tarkin grabs Cole & throws his head face
down on the table in front. Melissa’s about to do something but
Cole stops her with a look that tells her not to. The others don’t
notice this.
Vornac: You actually expect me to believe you killed the Prophet?
Cole: He was a threat to you.
Vornac: Ahh, a bounty on your head & yet you still think of us.
Cole: ‘The Brotherhood’ comes first.
Vornac: Words to live or die by.
Tarkin: Triggs was assigned to kill that Prophet. Did you see him?
Cole: No. How’s my old friend anyway?
Tarkin lets Cole up.
Vornac: Your old friend missing suspiciously.
Cole: Brothers missing, Prophets talking, & I had no trouble
tracking you down pretty careless. What will Raynor think of this?
Vornac: Raynor thinks you're a disgrace.
Cole: Why? Because I killed the Triad.
Tarkin: Isn't that enough?
Cole: They were plotting to kill the Source so they could take
over, which means they would’ve killed every other demon in his
inner circle including Raynor.
Tarkin: We never did trust the Triad.
Vornac: Then why didn't he come back & explain himself, hmm?
Why run?
Cole: Because I had no proof, that's why. I knew nobody would
believe me.
Vornac: Brothers for a hundred years & you disappeared without
a word, left us with the rumours, the accusations. Were you
thinking about ‘The Brotherhood’ then? Check his story Klea.
Klea shimmers out.
Tarkin: Back to work. So, who we after?
Vornac: Not your concern. Until Klea returns he goes nowhere.
Vornac shimmers out.
Cole: He always was a tight-ass, wasn't he?
Tarkin: Do you blame him?
Cole: No.
Tarkin: It's nice to have you back, Belthazor. I just hope it's for
good.
He quickly steals a glance at Melissa who turns round leaving the
room then turns back to Tarkin.
Cole: Yeah, me too.
Authors Note: Whoa, oh Cole's really got himself into a pickle this time hasn't he. Will he be able to get out or will 'The Brotherhood' find him out? Will they find Melissa out or will the Charmed Ones stop them before that happens. Read on & find out.
