Chapter 1
"A hard decision"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
He walked into the dark cave, a demon guard stood in front of him. They stared at each other for a moment as a signal of respectfully asking for permission to get in, then the guard stood aside as respectfully conceding the request. Cole Turner, well known as the mighty Belthozar in this world was about to do a craziness, a suicidal task, but he was doing it for the most important thing to him, Phoebe. So he pulled the hood from his robe over his head and continued walking. He stood when he reached a dark place with a reddish glow. The Source was standing near by. He was wearing a red robe with a red hood covering his head. You couldn't see his face. He had large feathery wings attached to his back, and was wielding a sword. Flames shoot up in front of him as Cole entered. Cole kneeled down and removed his hood.
"I've heard the rumors, I beg you, are they true? Have we been exposed?" he asked acting as if was a concerning matter to him, in fact it was because his love could be in danger.
"And what business is it of yours?" he asked rudely.
"I may have a solution. Tempus's power." Cole suggested.
"Are still weakened from when he last turned back time. Doing so again will destroy him." The Source barked.
"What other choice is there?" Cole dared to ask. Then a deep silence filled the chamber. For him it wasn't any longer the way it used to be, he was no longer Belthozar one of the Source's best demon, now he was just the betrayer you fell under the bedspells of a slutty witch. "Forgive me." He pleaded.
"For your betrayal? Never." He stated as he rested the tip of his sword on Cole's shoulder. "I know of your struggles, Belthazor, of your witch. I know that's why you've come to me. I know everything about you. Tempus will do as you suggest if your witch crosses over, if your witch joins us." He said
"She'd never do that." Cole totally refused. It was insane; HIS Phoebe would never turn evil. Ever.
"Not even to save one of her sisters lives?" The Source asked with a tone of knowledge.
"Has one of them been killed?" Cole raised his head concerned. He knew Phoebe would suffer a lot of pain if something ever happened to her sisters.
"Wait." Was the Source's last reply.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Cole, where have you been? We've been worried. What's the matter?" a sick worried Phoebe asked as he was entering the cave she and Leo had been hiding for a while.
"He knows. About you, about us." Cole informed. It was obvious; they both had been the gossip of the century everywhere, and even though usually bosses never heard to gossip, this was beyond that.
"So, what does that mean?" she asked concerned.
"He's offering a deal. He'll get Tempus to reset time if you stay... here." He explained.
"What, down here? He's crazy." The white lighter totally refused to even think about that.
"Hardly." Said Cole.
"Yeah, well, we're desperate but not that desperate." Leo said.
"Why would he think that I would accept an offer like that?" Phoebe came in, fearing the answer.
Cole can't help but hesitate for a moment. "Because it's the only way to bring one of your sisters back to life." He said, he knew it was way different when it was about Phoebe's sisters.
"What?" Phoebe reacted.
"It's a trick, he's lying." Leo coldly threw.
"No, it's not." Cole said as trustfully as he could.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The bright of the blue sparks let them know it was Leo who was back to break the news, he orbed in while still crying. This hit Phoebe with just one thing " Piper" she said. And she came over to her brother in law and hugged him tightly in a signal of comfort. This even touched Cole because he knew how important her sisters were for her.
"You don't have to do this." Leo still insisted
"Yes I do." Phoebe stated, it was a commitment, if it was in her hands to save her sisters' life she would do it. She turned to Cole and asked, "So, will resetting time affect us down here?"
"No." he softly replied.
"Good. I only have one condition. You must check and make sure they're still alive after we do this, then I'll be all yours." Phoebe said.
"I have to go before time is reset. Phoebe don't do this." Leo said one more time.
"I will and I won't regret it because my sisters will be safe." She said, they hugged and Leo orbed out.
Cole was tearful and felt guilty because he was being the messenger here; he felt guilty because he couldn't do anything to save his love from evil. He came to Phoebe took her hands and his and squeezed them. "You have to know that I only the messenger. I love you and I'd do anything for you but it's not fair you're doing this because you were involved in my life." He said sincerely.
"I love you too, never forget that." Phoebe said as she buried her head in his chest.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Agreed." The Source said to Cole who was kneeling in front of him.
Cole then stoop up; bowed and walked away.
"It shall be done." The Source stated and time reset back. Letting things be the way they supposed to, just with Phoebe condemned to a life by the Evil ways in the Underworld.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"Everything is fine now." Cole said to her.
She silently nodded. From now on everything would be different, she would start a new life.
Cole saw her; quite and scared of what might happen after. He didn't really know what to say or do to make her feel better. All he knew was that after this he loved her even more if that were possible. He loved her for being brave, for being capable to do such a huge sacrifice for the ones she loved. He came closer and wrapped his arms around her in a proof of a supportive comfort. Neither of them said a word. She just held tightly in his embrace welcoming all the care, respect, support, comfort and love he was offering in his arms. They stayed quite for a while till he broke the silence.
"We should get out of here." He said.
She knew he meant out of the cave they were in that moment, since 'out' of the Underworld wasn't possible.
He knew that very hard and touch weeks were waiting for her, she deserved and needed some rest.
She just nodded and he shimmered out somewhere else.
When they reappeared again, they were in a nice place; it looked like a living room of some apartment. This caught Phoebe's attention.
"Are we still in the Underworld?" she asked confused as she pulled away from his embrace.
"Yes." He nodded. "Do you like it?" he asked her.
She then looked and eyed around the place. It was a really spacefull apartment, a penthouse she could say. A nice deco, expensive art, comfortable furniture and the list could go on...and on.
"Yeah." She said with a light smile. "What's this?" she asked starring at him.
"This is my place." He just said.
"Excuse me?" she asked. She wasn't getting it.
"Did you think the Underworld was just a giant underground cave with every kind of creepy chambers?" he asked sarcastically.
"Yeah." She tried.
"The Underworld is in fact another dimension placed in another plain. It's called 'Under' because it's placed underneath the rest of the other dimensions and is where Evil operates." He explained as he paced around.
"But that doesn't answer my question." She stated.
"As in any dimension this is a kind of world Phoebe, it works differently from the one you know, but still life develops here. This is my house in this world." He said.
Phoebe was impressed with the new found information. "I can't believe it, it's just... it looks so... normal." She said looking around. "I mean don't take me wrong, but I never thought it'd be like... I mean you even got windows." She said.
"What about the windows? It's for the sun light to reflect inside." He said.
"Sun?". Phoebe asked.
"Of course, how do you think I can keep this tan?" he asked joking and she smiled at it. "So may I finish the tour?" he asked trying to cheer her up, he knew she was sad and he wanted to make her feel better.
"Oh yeah." She said. "This is definitely yours. It really reflexes you, it's fancy." She added.
"Well, when you have a century living in a place the least you can do is adapt it to yourself." He said and kissed her on the cheek. Then he took her hand and led her.
"Ok this is the kitchen." He said.
"Nice." She said starring around. It was a French style kitchen, with green French cabinets, a marble counter and fancy stools.
They went in another room. She saw a desk, Cole's laptop, a leather chair, books... "This is my Study." He said. She nodded.
Another room, where she could see machines, and training stuff. "Gym." He said. It was obvious he worked out, he always had this sculptural thing going on; maybe the working out was reason of why he looked like 30 when he was in fact more than 100 years old.
Then they went to the Main Hall, from where you could see the sitting room. "That's the Bar, the piano and the balcony over there." He pointed.
Cole opened a door, "This is a guest room. It's not like I have much guests staying anyway." He said.
He opened another door, "This is the bathroom." She heard as she saw a luxurious bathroom. Then Cole opened the last door, "And this is my bedroom." He said.
It was a great bedroom, not less luxurious or impressive than the rest of the place. It had a little sitting room on the left, a vanity, a huge vestier and a king sized bed clothed by silk sheets. Cole led her to another door inside the bedroom.
"This is the main bathroom." He informed at the luxurious bathroom, with golden faucets and Jacuzzi.
Everything in this place was gorgeous, expensive and luxurious; it was definitely Cole's.
"Ok, why don't you lay down while I get you something to eat?" Cole offered as he took off the black robe he was wearing to reveal black pants and a black T-shirt.
"I'm not really hungry." She said looking down. He came closer to her and hugged her tight, then he took her face in his hands, "I promise you I'll find a way to get you out of here." He sword looking at her. Straight in her eyes.
"Don't." she shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to try anything. He could kill them or you, and I wouldn't forgive it to myself if something ever happens to any of you." She said. "I made a choice and I'll stick on it." She determinate.
"Phoebe, I don't want you to go through this... it won't be easy." He said.
"I know, but I have to be strong, it's the only way for all the ones I love to be safe." She said and she sat on the bed.
Cole joined her and sat next to her, "I love you, and we'll work this out. And remember that I'll be there for you. Always." He said and hugged her.
"I love you too Cole." She said and hugged him back.
Then she just started to cry, Cole just stayed there comforting her, he let her cry in his chest while he just stroke her hair to let her know he was there for her.
She was crying because everything would be different now; because she would never see her sisters again, even having the relief they would be safe; she was crying because she would have to become what she had been born to fight; because she felt she didn't deserve the support of the shoulder she was crying on in that moment.
And even then, she keep weeping and he said nothing, he just let her get all out and away from her. The next days would be hard and difficult for her, he knew it, and she had to get all this feelings out so she could be strong enough to resist for what was to come, and it was killing him inside and tearing him apart the fact he wasn't able to avoid it to happen. They stayed like that till she fell asleep.
This is another version; it takes place in the season finale of season 3 "All Hell break loose". What if Phoebe had stayed in the Underworld?
