"Hey Paige." Phoebe greeted with a smile as the petite redhead entered the kitchen yawning. Paige walked over and poured herself a cup of cocoa. She didn't feel like coffee that morning.
"Hey." Paige said taking a sip of her cocoa.
"You aren't drinking Coffee this morning?" Phoebe inquired raising her eyebrow.
"No, I'm not…I just don't feel like it."
"Oh right? Long night with Glen?" Phoebe grinned.
"Yes, for your information." Paige said haughtily. "Speaking of guys, how are you dealing with the divorce?"
"I'm fine. Cole can no longer bother me anymore. And besides that I have the new empathy power so I trade in the bad and get something good."
"Yeah that's usually how it works. Still you aren't worried about Cole trying to get revenge?"
"Revenge for a break up? Doesn't that seem a little far fetched?" Piper asked entering the kitchen.
"Aren't you up a little later than usual?" Phoebe asked checking her watch. "It's like eight which reminds me that I have to go and write that column for the paper." Phoebe said grabbing a piece of toast and rushing out the door.
"Yeah, aren't you up a little later?"
"I am, but it's because Wyatt kept me up all night." Piper said rubbing her eyes. "Why are you still here? Don't you have to be at work?"
"Not until nine."
"I see."
"But I can stay and help you with the hunting and everything if you want." Paige said shrugging.
"Paige, what's with the change of attitude? Is there something you're trying to avoid at work?"
"Yeah we have a case about a little girl who's being molested by her father and cases of that sort always bug me."
"Well you're more than welcome to put up lavender, apples and sage around the house. I know people are going to be after Wyatt and Cole may be too."
"I thought he wasn't going to hurt you guys because he loves Phoebe and everything."
"Yeah well me too but he was the source of all evil too so I wouldn't put it past him."
"I guess you're right. I've got some sage in my room that'll work for that protection spell Phoebe made up." Paige said exiting the room and climbing the stairs. She turned into her bedroom and shut the door pealing off her pajamas. Paige sported nothing but her bra and skirt. She brushed her hair and curled it up. Just as she was about to slip on her shoes she saw something in her mirror's reflexion. Cole had just shimmered in there.
"Mirror!" She said throwing it his way he shimmered away and reappeared behind her. Cole grabbed her around her neck. Before Paige could orb out of his grip he shimmered into the underworld. "Let go of me." She commanded to Cole attempting to orb. She realized she couldn't. Cole threw her to the ground and she stood up. "What do you want with me?" She asked trying to orb again.
"Give up Paige, I made sure that you can't orb out of here."
"Boulder!" She said tossing it his way. It connected with his face. She smirked at the scratch at his face. "I thought I couldn't orb." She mocked.
"Something must have gone wrong with the spell." He said looking her up and down. "Although I kind of like what I got out of it." She covered herself with her arms and gazed at him reproachfully
"Since when are you interested in the littlest Halliwell?" She inquired glaring at him. "If I'm not aloud to orb can you at least get me some clothes?" Paige asked resisting all urge to orb something large and pointy at him.
"Fine, I'll be right back." He shimmered out. Paige tried to orb again and failed falling on her back. She felt a sharp pain on her back and winced. "Tried to orb again didn't you?" Cole asked throwing the preplanned ensemble at her. She caught it clumsily and attempted to put on the top. She winced again due to the large gash on her back that had torn when she lifted her arms. "You okay?" Cole asked.
"Why would you care?" She snapped.
"Just let me help you out." Cole said earnestly. He grabbed her arms and shimmered her to his flat.
"Why are we here?" She asked.
"I have medical supplies here and by the look of that cut you're going to gauze and band aids and peroxide." He said.
"Don't touch me." She said snatching the stuff from his hands. Cole batted at her hand and everything fell out. He shoved her against the wall and pinned her there.
"Like it or not, you're stuck with me, because I'm not letting you out of my sight." He gently dabbed her porcelain back with peroxide and dressed the wound.
"So like I said before, why are you so interested in the littlest Halliwell?"
"You're going to bring her to me. You're going to bring back Phoebe." He said shoving her against the wall and shimmering out of the room.
AN: Now I haven't seen very much of the episodes to really get a sense of the Characters except Piper, Phoebe and Paige, I know them kinda well…I tried to capture depressive spiteful Cole the best I could but like I said…I have no idea how he was…this is eventually going to be a Paige/Cole flick…Anyways, R&R.
