A/N- Last chapter- finally! The epilogue is set in the 1800's. Cole is 17
years old.
Notice Cole's reaction to the old man- sound familiar?
Part 14
Cole wandered around the Halloween fair with his mother. As he walked past a water filled barrel, an
old man popped out and held an apple towards him,
"Would you like to know the name of your true love, sir?" Cole spun around to face the man,
"Sorry?"
"With the peel of this apple, you will be able to see the first initial of your true love's name."
"And how does this apple know this huge secret?"
"Apples are the fruit of knowledge, Master Turner. Are you sure you don't want to try?"
"Humour him, Coleridge." Elizabeth whispered in her son's ear, "We have time to kill, before other
things."
"How does it work?" Cole asked. The man peeled the apple and held out the peel,
"Blow on it, then toss it into the water." Cole followed the instructions and watched it intently. The
apple peel slowly formed the shape of...
"The letter is 'P'."
"Thank you." Cole replied flatly, "Let's go Mom."
Both of them hurried away.

"By the way, you never answered my question." Cole said to his mother.
"What question?"
"What happened to my father?"
"He died. That's all."
"Mom- I can sense lies, you know that. If you won't tell me, I will find out myself- I've waited long
enough." Cole stopped and put his hand on the side of his mother's head and started a tath meanma (so
that he could see for himself).
Horrid images unfurled before him. He saw his mother kill a blonde woman, and then walk away. He
saw her run after his father, who was carrying a three year old version of Cole. Ultimately, he saw his
mother snatch Cole away and murder Ben. He broke away,
"You killed my dad?"
"He betrayed me."
"Mom- I am not a whole demon. I understand humans- why didn't you just talk it out?"
"I'm a demon. I don't talk things out. I kill who betrays me. You're contaminated- you don't
understand."
"If that's the criteria for being a demon..." Cole shook with anger as an energy ball formed in his hand.
He turned into Belthazor and threw the energy ball at Elizabeth.
She turned into Dakan as she tried to fight it off, but the flames consumed her and she exploded.
Belthazor dropped to his knees and screamed at the top of his lungs.

That's the end! This is the mystery solved from 'The Demon Who Came In From the Cold', when Vornac says to Cole that he got Cole out of a lot of trouble caused by his flippant attitude: this is my explanation. He killed his mother out of loyalty to his dead father, and he was caught by the Brotherhood. Please review!!!!
