A.N After being asked to write another Paige and Cole story an idea popped into my head. I doubt this will be as long as "The Angels Devil" but we shall see. I'm thinking 2 chapters, then again if you want a third I'll see hehe.. By the way I didn't like Henry so I changed what happened between them, because I'm evil and it's my story.

Disclaimer Obviously I don't own Charmed

A Sinner Kissed An Angel

"A charge? Does the fact that I'm a charmed one and a sister and also very single not register with you?" Paige Matthews stood centerfold with her arms folded. Her dark hair was pulled up behind her head and her tracksuit bottoms and top hung loosely from her body. "And did the fact it is almost quarter past eleven at night just happen to escape your relatively short minds? Just because you don't have a life doesn't mean the rest of us don't either" It was beyond obvious Paige was past being pissed off, she stood stiffly staring at the three elders that stood in front of her.
"Paige, you were sat alone watching television when we called for you. I hardly call that 'having a life'" The elder replied using his fingers as mock commas, Paige narrowed her eyes but knew what he had said was true. Phoebe and Coop had gone out for a meal to celebrate their '8 week anniversary' and Piper and Leo had gone to bed early tired out from Chris and Wyatt deciding to have a magical fight which consisted to Wyatt orbing Chris's toys away and Chris orbing spoons of food into Wyatt's direction. Each mini battle ended with one of them crying, and Piper or Leo rushing to their distressed child. She didn't want to spend time alone but after Henry had been promoted and moved to another station in New York and Paige had broken-heartedly decided to stay in San Francisco she had no other real option than to stay in and feel sorry for herself. Finally Paige looked at the elder and rolled her eyes, letting her arms fall to her sides
"You don't have a life, apart from wrecking other peoples so you wouldn't know if I had one or not" The female elder raised a thin eyebrow at the young witch which only caused Paige to shake her head showing she wasn't too bothered by what she was saying "Who is this charge then?" The elders looked between themselves; they all knew who he was. Someone Paige truly hated, but in their opinions was now worth at least one chance.
"You will find out tomorrow Paige" The female elder informed her, she reached into her robe and pulled out a scrap of paper "This is where to meet him and when" Paige looked at the paper and put it into her pocket,
"Fine" She said "Now I'm going to bed, need to look good for tomorrow" She told them before disappearing into a swirl of blue lights.
"This should be interesting" The oldest elder mused before detaching from the other two elders.

Piper bounced down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, a smile spread over her face. As she walked in she saw her two sisters already there, both sat at the table with cups of coffee in their hands talking about something Piper couldn't quite make out.
"Good-morning my two favorite sisters" She chirped happily, making her way to both of them and sitting down, Paige eyed her curiously as Phoebe took a long sip of the black liquid in her cup
"Guess she got some last night" Paige remarked smiling at Phoebe, who laughed gently after swallowing the warm drink. Piper blushed underneath her long dark hair, she reached forward and took the red cup from Paige's hand and drank some before putting it down on the table in front of her. Paige glared at her eldest sister playfully before getting up,
"I would argue but I have a charge to meet today" She said to each sister, Phoebe glanced up at her
"A charge?" She questioned
"That's what I said" Paige replied raising her hands in the air dramatically, Piper smiled and picked up the cup once again, basking in the heat that emitted from it "Anyway I have to meet him in five minute in Café Laurence or something so I better get orbing" Phoebe and Piper nodded at their baby sister who gave them a curt wave and orbed out to her charge.

Paige orbed in behind the cafe, making sure she didn't expose magic to passerby's walking on the street oblivious to the evil and of course good around them. Paige ran her hands down the green top she was wearing and made her way out of the alley and towards the meeting spot of her next charge. Table three, wasn't so hard to remember. Her brown eyes scanned the eating area and found table three, the man sat there his back to her, and unaware he was being watched by Paige. Confidently she strode up to the man and put a hand on his broad shoulder.
"Hi I'm Paige I was told to meet you here..." She knew it was forward but if this wasn't her charge she would have to search for him and she wasn't entirely in the mood.
"I know who you are" The male voice replied. Butterflies swarmed Paige's stomach and she pulled her hand away quickly from the man's shoulder. It couldn't be. It shouldn't be. It was impossible. Paige felt dizzy as the man turned around and faced her, his handsome features looking at her delicate face. "After all I was part of the family once"
"Cole..."

Piper stood up when she heard Leo in Chris's bedroom, failing to calm his son down as Wyatt was in the background shouting 'Daddy play'
"Wont be long Pheebs" She said smiling as she walked out of the room, Phoebe nodded and looked down at the newspaper that she was reading before she got talking to Paige. Her eyes glanced up as she heard footsteps coming into the room, before she could turn around she felt strong arms around her from behind, she lent back and smiled
"Hey gorgeous" Coop's deep voice said, Phoebe tilted her head and looked at her boyfriend who stood above her. She hated being so small sometimes but as tall as Coop was she always felt safe around him,
"Hey thanks for taking me out last night" She grinned at him, he smiled back and lowered his head, kissing her soft lips gently.
"It's okay sweetie as long as your happy" he said, pulling away from her and going to the counter to get a drink,
"I'm always happy with you" She replied honestly.

"This is not…You are not real" Paige spat at the demon who sat in the chair in front of her, Cole quickly grabbed her arm gently but she pulled it back, her eyes trained on him "You're supposed to be dead" the remark caused an elderly woman to look up from her breakfast and glance across at them. Cole noticed the lady and gave her a friendly smile and after a few moments she looked back down at the table.
"Paige could you be just a little bit more subtle please" He asked but Paige let out a laugh,
"Yeah easily" She said, turning on her heels and walking out of the café slamming the door behind her, causing the glass in the door to reverberate in its holdings. Cole sighed and stood up; he looked around the café and saw two or three people looking at him he raised his eyebrows at them and reached into his pocket. He put a few dollars on the table plus a tip and went out of the café after Paige. He saw her turn left up an alley and walked after her, his long legs quickly catching up to her.
"Paige wait a minute let me explain" Cole called out, Paige continued walking going far back so her bright orbs couldn't be seen from the street "Damn it Paige just listen" he stopped where he was stood as he saw Paige spin around and face him.
"No I won't 'just listen' Cole. You're meant to be dead, gone, never to return. What the hell are you doing here? How many demons and mortals did you kill to return to your pathetic existence this time?" She walked a few steps towards him, her heels echoing in the deserted alleyway, apart from the two enemies staring at each other.
"I didn't kill anyone" he protested, Paige smirked at him and looked at him. She was shocked at his appearance, he was older but better looking; his clothes were smart and presentable and his hair though was still the same.
"So how come your back? Did some demon give you powers?" She folded her arms; they were close together too close for Paige's liking. Cole shook his head and put his hands in his pockets, he looked almost innocent.
"If I had demonic powers why would the elders send you to protect me?" He asked her, Paige eyed him confused.
"You're my charge?" Cole nodded to her question and let a lame smile cross over his lips, Paige almost let out a shocked laugh but instead she took a step back "How?" Cole sighed and pulled his hands out of his pockets and looked at them, he had finally taken off his and Phoebe's wedding ring but he kept it in his pocket "Well?"
"When you killed me all that time ago, I went to limbo. I could see Phoebe, you, Piper, Leo, Chris and Wyatt but I couldn't contact you. That was my punishment for what I had done in my life, but after I helped Piper the Elders must have decided I had some potential and sent me back as a mortal. Without the charmed ones behind me though I needed some help and I guess they chose you to be my whitelighter" Cole explained slowly, Paige looked dumbfounded but shock came over her face and she narrowed her eyes at him,
"What do you mean you helped Piper?" She fired at him, the burning hatred in her eyes was not leaving and Cole knew she had every right to hate him.
"That time with the thorn demons, I was the one behind it" He answered, he lowered his eyebrows "Did Piper not tell you?" Paige raised an eyebrow
"Obviously not…" She trailed off "If that was you then prove it" She wasn't going to let Cole back into her life, not after everything she wanted to catch him out, prove him wrong so he would leave them alone, Cole took a deep breath.
"The reason I did it was for Piper and Leo to be together, they belong together their love cannot be broken, unlike mine and Phoebe's." He looked down obviously hurt by what he had said, but he knew the words he had spoken where the truth, he paused before continuing "I convinced Piper to die so Leo would feel her and come back to her" Paige stared at him in disbelief this couldn't be true, she knew his was capable of lying but if it was a lie how did he know about it? There had to be some truth behind it. "The real reason I did it was so that Phoebe could believe in love again, I sent Drake to prove love still exists and he helped her, which is all I ever wanted, even if it meant she fell in love with him" Paige rubbed her temples, this was giving her a headache. Cole watched her; he could see why Henry had fallen for her. She had so many good qualities which she played on, but then again she had so many not so good, one which included she hated him. "Are you okay?" he asked carefully, Paige cast her gaze up to Cole the hatred in her eyes almost gone.
"Okay?" she laughed "The one man in this world I hate more than anyone has come back telling me he is good and a mortal and to top it all off I'm his whitelighter. No Cole, the answer to your question is I'm not okay. I'm not okay at all" She sat down on one of the crates that stood beside a wall, she put her hands in her lap and looked at the damp floor, "Why me?" She mumbled bitterly "I'm not in the mood for all this right now" Cole looked at her, he couldn't understand why he had hated her so much in their past. Yeah, she had tried to split him and Phoebe up, but she was right. He was worthless back then, he didn't deserve to even be hated by her and yet he still stuck around. If he didn't then maybe this meeting wouldn't have happened and maybe he and Phoebe could be civil if nothing more. Everything happens for a reason he thought bitterly. He knew it would be nothing more, he saw Coop and her and decided to move on, she was happy, more than happy. Coop gave her everything he couldn't and she deserved that. He broke his train of thought and walked towards Paige gingerly and sat on a blue crate next to her,
"I know this hasn't come at the right time with Henry leaving and…" he stopped as Paige flashed look, that if looks could kill he would be pushing up the roses right now.
"You have no right what-so-ever to talk about that" She hissed "What makes you even think I want to be your whitelighter? I hate you. I was glad when you died, and I was happy in the knowledge that you were never coming back. Why did you have to ruin it? Why?" Cole couldn't look at her, her words stung deep; he was a different person now. He didn't have powers and he didn't want to hurt her, but everything he had done to her buried itself inside her and fueled her anger. Paige saw a flash of hurt in his eyes as he looked away, and for a second felt a pang of guilt in the pit of her stomach., which quickly left when she realized who she was feeling bad for.
"I'm sorry Paige. For everything, what I did to you, what I did to your sisters. I wish I could turn back time, I wish you would forgive me but it's obvious you wont ever" he sighed, Paige felt an uncomfortable silence coming on and shifted where she was sat. "Guess the elders thought it would be good for you to be my whitelighter with our past knowledge of each other, seems they were wrong though"
"Obviously" She said bluntly she wasn't going to let him guilt her into anything. Cole stood up and put a hand at the back of his head, unsure of how to reply to that. He looked up the wall pretending to find something interesting, if Paige wanted to leave then fine but he wouldn't be the one who turned around and said he didn't try. He wanted so badly to prove he was done with his past and he wanted to try again.
"Paige can't we put what happened behind us? I'm not that demon anymore. I'm not even a demon" he let his hand fall beside him and cast his eyes to her, Paige looked up at him meeting his gaze
"What are you then?" She asked getting up in front of him, Cole swallowed hard.
"A mortal that's all. A 30 year old mortal who knows about magic and needs help adjusting" He said putting his hands on his hips, Paige smiled. Her first genuine smile since she found out it was Cole she was meeting. For a start he looked ridiculous with his hands like that and secondly his comment amused her almost as much as his stance.
"30 years old?" She questioned, Cole felt the mood relax and took the opportunity to try and get on Paige's right side
"33" He answered, Paige raised an eyebrow "35?" Paige shook her head, he looked 37 at least
"Getting warmer though"
"Fine 38" he smiled "To say I would be turning 120 or something soon I didn't do too bad for my looks" Paige couldn't help but laugh, she didn't want to but she was starting to see Cole in a different light. Usually it was him being the one who she felt like had the upper hand, but watching him almost beg proved to her he was trying to change even if hadn't. Cole saw his chance and moved closer to her"Look I'm not saying you should help me, or that you even have to, but I'd rather it was you than some other whitelighter" Paige cocked her head to the side and looked at him,
"Why me? Why not some whitelighter who doesn't have a history with you?" Cole shrugged and pulled at his jacket which was open to the chilled breeze,
"I trust you I suppose" He paused "Even if you don't trust me" Ah, so he was playing the trust card with her, guessing it would work. Surprised at her own reaction though it did work and Paige found herself nodding to his statement.
"Well you never really proved to be trustworthy to me in the past Cole, or any of us for that matter" She admitted, Cole knew it was true but still couldn't help feeling sorry for himself that the only friend he could turn to was no-one else but himself. "I guess the elders wouldn't have done this if they didn't think it was worth it" Cole looked at her and smiled,
"You're giving me a chance?" He asked hope in his voice, Paige nodded again but she wanted to set everything in place.
"Just one, and everything is to be done on my terms. What I say goes" She told him, Cole agreed thankful he was getting the one chance
"I know how to look after myself Paige, just spend the next few hours with me, tell me what I should and shouldn't do and all that crap then you can go back home and live your life I wont call you for anything. I'll stay away after this" Paige's glazed eyes looked at him, "You don't even have to tell your sisters" he regretted saying it, he wanted to see Phoebe again but he knew it wasn't worth the risk. If he saw her then he would fall in love all over again and probably end up ruining their lives once more.
"Fine. I'll stay with you for the rest of the day then at least the elders can't complain. We'll go to yours if that's okay" Cole nodded "Good" Paige held out her hand but before Cole could grab hold of it she changed her mind and put it on his shoulder.
"Aren't whitelighter's meant to hold their charges hands?" Cole questioned a slight smugness back in his voice. He was back to his usual self.
"I really honestly dislike you" Paige muttered orbing out with him, ignoring the tempting smile on Cole's face.
