The next morning everyone was eating breakfast in the kitchen.
"Do you want to trim the tree in the evening?" Piper asked.
"Yeah!" Phoebe and Prue said.
"I hope that we won't have any special 'visitors'." Cole said.
"Stop it! Do not jinx it!" Piper told him.
"No, I think it's good that Cole brought this up. We have to keep that in mind, cause let's face it, demons attack us on a daily bases." Prue insisted and Piper sighed.
"Yeah, but we won't let it spoil our Christmas!" Phoebe cheered them up.
"Right." Leo agreed.
"Cole, do you want to trim our pretty Christmas tree after we finish breakfast?" Phoebe told him and smiled.
"Sure." Cole answered.
"Here are the decorations!" Phoebe said to Cole.
"Black balls?" Cole asked surprised.
"Yeah, for you!" Phoebe winked at him and they both smiled.
"I'll put some Christmas music on." Phoebe said, but someone shimmered in the room and threw a fireball towards Phoebe.
"Phoebe! Watch out!" Cole shouted and Phoebe ducked the fireball, which burned the stereo. Cole threw the demon an energy ball and vanquished him.
"Oh God!" Phoebe said angrily.
"Are you ok?" Cole asked her worried.
"Yes I am, but the stereo is not! You had to jinx it, didn't you?"
"Well, it's not my fault." Cole said, but thought about it again, "Or maybe it is." Cole said and looked down.
"What? Baby, of course it's not your fault!" Phoebe told him surprised, "I didn't mean it that wa…" She told him, but he interrupted her.
"Maybe I should leave." Cole stated looking down.
"What?" Phoebe cried again, "Why?"
"He was a bounty hunter looking for me. More are to come and I know that you love
Christmas and I want you to have a great time demon free." Cole finished.
"No! Listen, I've told you that I don't care about the demons that might come after you and you said that you wouldn't leave me again. Besides, I won't enjoy Christmas if you aren't here!" Phoebe told him frustrated.
"But, Phoebe…."
"No, I don't wanna hear it." Phoebe told him and turned her back to him.
Cole paced towards her and placed his arms around her waist and whispered to her ears,
"Please Phoebe. I want you to be safe."
Phoebe turned around, "Are you kidding me? Whether you are here or not, it doesn't change the fact that demons will keep on attacking."
"Maybe, but he tracked me down here and that means that more demons will come. I should move so they can lose me again." Cole tried to explain.
Phoebe looked at him and shook her head, "Perhaps he didn't come for you. He threw the fireball at me."
"It would be better if I left for a while." Cole told her again.
"For how long?" Phoebe asked him with a sad face.
"I… I don't know." Cole told her.
"Cole, I…"
"Sh… I'll try to return before Christmas." Cole told her and caressed her cheek.
"Cole today is the 20th of December! Do you think you'll be away for 5 whole days?!" Phoebe asked exasperated.
"I don't know." Cole told her and smiled lightly and a tear fell from Phoebe's eye.
"No, no, no! Don't cry, please!" Cole begged her, "I don't want you to cry." He added and hugged her tightly.
Suddenly another demon shimmered in the room.
"Belthazor hugging a witch?" The demon said surprised and laughed.
"Patsifiko." Cole said and looked at him with hate. Phoebe got startled and Cole let her out of his grip.
"You know him?" Phoebe asked scared.
"What's the matter little witch? Scared, are we?" Patsifiko asked her.
"Leave her out of this." Cole warned him.
"Or else?" Patsifiko asked ironically and Cole threw at him an energy bolt and he fell down, but didn't got vanquished.
Before he got up Cole shimmered Phoebe downstairs.
"What happened?" Piper said anxiously as they had heard strange noises from upstairs.
"A demon is upstairs!" Phoebe said scared
"I love you." Cole told her quickly.
"Cole wh…?" Phoebe started, but Cole had already shimmered out.
"Cole!!!!! No!!" Phoebe yelled.
"Did the demon hurt you?" Prue asked, but Phoebe ran upstairs to her room.
"Wait!" Piper yelled.
"Phoebe!" Prue shouted.
"Let's go!" Piper said and ran upstairs. Phoebe opened her bedroom door.
"Cole?" Phoebe called him.
"Phoebe, are they here?" Prue asked her.
"No." Phoebe said overwhelmed, "Where did they go?" Phoebe was on the verge of crying.
A few minutes ago Cole and Phoebe were going to trim their first Christmas tree together. They were so happy and suddenly everything fell apart. Two demons had ruined everything. Cole was about to leave and he indeed left, but no one knows where he is or how he is.
