A/N: Joleca, thank you SO much in advance! Without you, there wouldn't be a continuation of this story (or at least a readable one that would make sense).

Everyone needs to start pestering Joleca, she comes up with the greatest ideas but doesn't write any stories! They'd be awesome if she'd write 'em, she's brilliant! So read, enjoy, review and pester!

Cole walked along the street briskly, his sweaty palms thrust deeply into his trouser pockets as he walked as fast as he could back towards the manor. Cole tried to abide the painful headache that pounded at his temples, however after walking for a few blocks, he nearly toppled to his knees and cried out in pain.

He paused, taking a few shallow breaths to steady his racing heart and ran a clammy hand across his pale forehead, ignoring the sweat that cascaded down his face and off his chin. Cole squeezed his eyes shut and groaned when the low rumbling started in his ears again, finally he realized that it was someone talking to him.

"She had to cast a spell to see if she should marry you, Belthazor. She doesn't love you; it was a ploy all along! Listen to me, listen to the Seer, we know what is best for you…she knows nothing!"

Cole shook his head roughly, trying to ignore the low taunting voice of the Source as good and evil raged inside him. Cole began muttering incoherently under his breath as he continued forward, placing the palms of his hands on each side of his head.

"She loves me damn it, she does," he muttered, walking quickly.

"Power of Three spell? Potions? What?" Paige rambled, ticking off ways to kill off Cole, even though Phoebe believed they were ways to save him.

"A Power of Three spell might work, we killed the last Source with one. So we could alter it to save Cole…you know, change some words here or there and presto, Cole is saved!" Phoebe offered, elbows on her knees from her position on the couch.

"Sure, honey, we'll keep that in mind." Piper grimaced when she looked back at Paige; the latter red head just shrugged and shook her head.

"Phoebe, we need to have some," Paige cleared her throat, "Backup plans just in case we can't save him, okay?"

"Paige," Phoebe sighed, "No matter what happens, Cole isn't going to die, I won't let him."

"We know honey, but just in case something goes wr-" Piper began, sitting next to her sister so that she could explain softly.

"The crystals! We could use the crystals to form a cage around Cole so that he can't get out!" Phoebe exclaimed, jumping up.

Piper closed her mouth and sighed before standing up to join Phoebe's side again.

"Yeah, I see that happening. 'Oh, Cole we have to put you in a crystal cage so that we can decide whether or not to-'" Paige was silenced by a glare from Piper.

"How about one around our room?" Phoebe asked aloud, more to herself then her sisters, tapping a finger against her chin.

"What do you mean?" Piper asked, stepping closer still.

"We could put the crystals around the room, hiding them behind furniture and things so that he can't seem them. When Cole arrives he won't know he's in the cage till we place the last one in the doorway. Then we could free him of the Source, it's perfect!" Phoebe exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, uh, no. It has a lot of holes in it." Paige quipped, hands on her hips.

"Such as…?"

"One, getting Cole here willingly after what he overheard. Two, after we get him here and put the cage up how do we kill the Source and save Cole? What about Past and Future Phoebe?" Paige demanded as if it were obvious.

Piper, who was quiet for some time finally spoke, "Well, those two aren't even here anymore, I checked. The spell played out, Phoebe heard what she needed to hear. Right now we can start placing the crystals in the room, before Cole gets here of course, then when Phoebe gets him in there we quickly go in and place the last one behind us. As for actually getting Cole here, that shouldn't be too hard. Phoebe can tell him she wants to talk about what he overheard, then we could," she paused, shook her head and continued, "Maybe we could project ourselves into his head like Alaster did to me and vanquish the Source that way."

It was quiet as the other sisters pondered this new idea, suddenly a smile crept on Phoebe's face as she ran and hugged Piper.

"It's brilliant, Piper!"

Paige nodded, and folded her arms across her chest as she said, "I have to admit sis, it's a pretty good idea."

Piper grinned before looking up at the ceiling pointedly and shouting, "Leo!"

The sound of Leo's arrival rang in their ears as he orbed in a vast array of blue twinkles, "Yes?"

"We have a plan to save Cole and kill the Source, mind helping us?" Paige asked, shrugging nonchalantly.

"Save Cole and kill the Source? What did I miss?" he asked perplexed.

"Oh, that's right you don't know. Okay, here it is in short. Belthazor dead, void in Cole, Hollow issues ensue, Seer tricked Cole, Source went into Cole, Cole is the Source." Piper finished with another one of her trademark, toothy grins as Leo looked at the sisters for help.

"Cole's the Source?" he asked.

"Honey, questions later, action now!" Piper interjected as she pushed Leo towards the attic for the crystals.

"I guess I'll help them," Paige sighed as she trudged up the stairs behind the couple.

Phoebe nodded as she called out, "I'll write a spell to project us into Cole's head, and we all know the Source vanquishing spell right?"

When nobody responded, Phoebe shook her head and muttered, "I guess I'll write that down too."
