Disclaimer: I do not own the concept of the televisjon show Charmed, or any of the characters mentioned. Those are the property of Constance M. Burge, Brad Kern, Aaron Spelling, WB, and probably some othersī.
Summary: Cole's punishment is that he have to be in limbo, seing Phoebe go on with her life, but unable to interact with her. But Phoebe have lost her faith in love. This is a short story about Cole's experiences in limbo.
Author's Note: My first multichaptered story! And my first English one!
One note: Cole staged the attack on Piper, and sat Drake up with the warlock. So he has to be able to interact a little with the world, right? Anyway, in my story he's able to appear a short while in the mortal realm.
Prologue
"She won't do it, will you, Phoebe?" Cole said, trying to sound confident. She had done it before. Would this Phoebe, from an alternate reality, give in to her sisters? In this reality she hadn't been influenced by her half-sister, so maybe he had a chance. He locked eyes with her, desperatly looking for something, something that would tell him. He hoped...
Chapter 1
Cole was standing in the middle of the Halliwell living-room. He was looking at the shaking form of Phoebe Halliwell, the love of his life. His only love actually.
She was lying on the couch, hugging a big pillow. She was shaking with sobs. She wasn't looking her best, Cole had to admidt, but he still thought she was beautiful. Damn that Jason Dean, for making her so sad! Cole ached to be able to go to her, gather her in his arms and tell her that everything was going to be alright. But he couldn't, he had lost his chance a long time ago.
He was in limbo, and therefore completely invisible for her. He was unable to do anything at all. Or, actualy he could do something.
He was able to appear a few minuts in the real world, but somehow he thought Phoebe wouldn't be overjoyed seing him. She had vanquished him twice, after all, and she would probably freak out if she found out he still existed somewhere. She would send Paige after him, he thought forlornlyHe was sure thatthat...witch would eagearly jump at that chance. Paige was even worse than Prue, for heavens sake!
Jason Dean. The reason Phoebe was so sad. Cole wanted to strangle him.
So what if she hadn't told him she was a witch! It wasn't like he gave the impression of a man ready to handle something like that! Hell, he even denied he belived in magic! (And Cole was perfectly aware he shouldn't follow Phoebe everywhere, hearing what her current boyfriend had to tell her, but he had only resently gotten over his obsession over her, and the madness. It was only natural to be curious!)
And so what if she had ruined his merger. It hadn't been her fault, she was possessed! Cole knew what it was like, and he hated the thought of Phoebe going through all that. He knew how it was like o nearly kill someone you loved...and Jason had reacted the same way as Phoebe had to Cole. Rejection.
It didn't seem like Phoebe would stop crying anytime soon. He couldn't stand here anymore, just watching her, seing her losing her faith in love. He quickly faded out.
Chapter end
So, that's the first chapter! This will be a short story about Cole in limbo, and how he try to help Phoebe. Cole/Phoebe, Drake/Phoebe (I don't know anything about Leslie, so I can hardly write him).
NEXT CHAPTER: Cole meets Drake! Will probably take some time before I post that. I'm currently rather uninspired.
