Phoebe sunk into the warmness of Cole's arms and buried her head into his chest. With a sigh Cole closed his eyes and wrapped an arm around Phoebe holding her tightly.
The two sat in the living room this cold night in December. It was bitterly cold despite they were in San Francisco. Prue was stuck at the airport in New York while on a shoot for the magazine and Piper was at the club working.
"Cole..." Phoebe mumbled.
"Phoebe?" He replied back.
"Do you ever regret... you know us? Your decision?" Phoebe asked. She pulled away from Cole and stared into his eyes.
"No. Not even for a second." He smiled and pulled her close again.
"I'm so happy with you!"

ATTIC
A demon shimmers in. He looks exactly like Balthazar only blue and black. As he reached for the book he gets electrocuted and thrown to the wall.

"What was that?" Phoebe stood up and started towards the stairs.
"It's him... He's come for me."
Phoebe stopped in her tracks and turned to Cole. "Who? How do you know?"
"My brother Joel. Well that's his human form. He is evil Phoebe."
"You have a brother?" Phoebe's gaze dropped to the floor. "Well he's upstairs and I am going to get him Cole."
As Phoebe ran up the stairs Cole shimmered in front of her. Quickly changing into Balthazar.
"Cole?"
Without a word Cole swung his fist at Phoebe knocking her down the stairs. Slowly everything fades for Phoebe, as she becomes unconscious.

Prue put the phone down and turned to the TV. It had been a day since she had talked to her sisters. Phoebe said she would be home all day but she hadn't answered the phone.
She leaned over for the phone but decided against it and laid on the bed of the hotel room she was in.
