What Use To Be

Phoebe sat there in the underworld trying to digest what she has just done. Cole had just gone to inform the Source of Phoebe's decision, which left her alone with Leo. She stole a glance in his direction. Phoebe though that that he looked like someone had just beat the crap out of him, someone may as well have.

"Leo," Phoebe replied softly, not meeting his eyes. She saw him glance in her direction. "Do me a favor. Don't tell them what happened."

Leo was now gawking at Phoebe. "Phoebe, they have a right to know what happened and what you did for them."

Phoebe turned her head towards Leo, and is when he saw that her eyes were full of tears. "I can't get the image of Prue out of my head before we left. She was upset, and the last thing I need is for you to tell her that all this happened because I wanted Cole back. I don't care what you tell them, just don't ell them the truth. Please Leo."

At seeing how upset Phoebe was Leo agreed to her request. Leo moved closer to comfort Phoebe.

Cole entered the Source's chambers. "My Lord, she has agreed to your proposal."

The Source sat high up on his throne and replied, "Thank you Belthazare. I shall ask you to remind your witch of the repercussions of crossing me."

"As you wish my lord," Cole replied as he bowed in front of the dark towering figure. He rose, turned, and walked out of the Source's chambers. As Cole was walking back to where he left Phoebe and Leo, he realized what the Source was planning to do. He sprinted back to Phoebe and Leo.

Cole rounded the corner that held Phoebe and Leo. He had them in his site. "Leo, get up there now. He's going to go back to right before Shax attacked. Hurry, get back now!" Cole saw him whisper something to Phoebe, then orb out.

Leo orbed into the Manor right behind Prue and Piper as they were fighting Shax. He touched their shoulders and orbed them up to the attic.

Prue shoved Leo's hand off her shoulder and yelled, "What the hell did you do that for?"
"I did it to save your lives. Shax could have killed you otherwise." Leo wasn't exactly sure how much he should tell them. He figured he would just wait and see if they even asked.

"Leo," now it was Piper's turn, "where is Phoebe? Prue called to her a couple of seconds after she ran up to the attic and she didn't answer. Now, we are in the attic and no Phoebe."

Oh shit! Leo thought. Great, what am I suppose to tell them? "Well, Phoebe called me when she couldn't find a spell. When I got here I asked her to run an errand for me and I came down here to save you two." Phew, that was a close one.

Piper and Prue stole a glance at each other, then turned to Leo and burst into s small fit of giggles. "Yeah right Leo. No offense but you are a horrible liar, now where is my sister?" Piper asked, still in a slight fit of giggles.

Leo, upset by his inability to make up a good lie on the spot, decided to tell them something partly true. "I can't tell you," Leo said truthfully.

"What do you mean you can't tell us? Why not?" Prue demanded.

"I promised Phoebe I wouldn't tell you," Leo said in his defense.

"Phoebe told you not to tell us," Piper said while glancing at Prue, "that could only mean one thing."

"That Phoebe is doing something we wouldn't approve of, which means that she is in trouble. Leo where is she, this could be life or death?" Prue asked anxiously.

"Look Prue, I know you are worried about her, but don't be. She is fine cause she's with Cole." Leo stated, forgetting that the two ladies standing before him didn't remember having helped their sister go save the man that she loved.

"She's what?" Piper asked loud enough to wake the dead. She started pacing the room and mumbling to herself.

Prue walked up to Leo, "Leo I don't think it was such..."

All of a sudden, someone shimmering into the room interrupted Prue, a filthy and slightly bloody Cole looked around at three faces that were looking for someone else. His pained eyes came to rest on the one he was looking for. He slowly walked over to Leo and whispered, "They took her."

Leo listened as Cole backed away, and turned to see the expressions of waiting and fear mixed together on two of the three people he loved the most. Oh my gd, what am I suppose to do now?
