"Why haven't you killed them" the source asked his son who stood a couple feet away from him. Cole looked at the floor then at his father. Memories of being a little boy training for this purpose pained him to no end. His father would never love him unless this task was completed he thought about it and thought about it. He was a demon and demons didn't fall in love.
"There're smarter than I predicted the oldest has got layers of force fields protecting their house amongst other things." their bond as sisters was stronger than he had expected.
"The youngest and yourself seem to be getting close" The source then sat down looking his son in the eye.
"She's" he found himself at a loss and stuttered he inwardly kicked himself.
"Shes what, you could of killed her by now what are you waiting for" he asked him impatiently, then he looked at his son, when he was in the underworld his eyes were never blue why were they blue now.
"Is that human I sense BELTHAZOR" he stressed the importance of his identity to his son. While growing up Cole had been a rebellious kid he often strayed to the mortal world and he had a hard time honing his demon half to be the more dominant of the two. Mental torment he put the boy through was all part of the process he needed to know there wasn't hugs and kisses in the realm of magic he was evil and evil didn't believe in love. His mother weakened him by falling victim to her human qualities but more so her beauty he was captivated by. The source let out a roar of frustration after his only son didn't reply.
"Im not human" he replied in a mono tone
"KILL HER"
"I cant I want them all dead" he lied
"KILL THEM"
"Not yet"
"Why not"
"HUMAN" the source attacked him, after the frustration of his son allowing his human half to get the better of him. Expect the unexpected, the law will be broken, destroyed & they will rise in unison. He remembered the some of the prophecy. Cole didn't move after the attack his face was burnt slightly from the fire ball but he still just looked at his father.
"I will kill them"
"I need more time"
"6 months" the source reminded him
"Its harder than that their"
"Getting under your skin" the source finished.
Cole sighed remembering the conversation with father and asked himself the same question.
"Why haven't you killed her" Cole splashed water over his face as he looked in the mirror only seeing belthazor as his reflection staring angrily at him. Ever since that night he was at a complete loss of what to do, he knew he had to kill her it was evitable his father was depending on him the whole of evil was. The charmed ones were to be destroyed, killed, and erased.
The years of torture he had been put through training his mind body soul for this moment. To tip the balance of magic. He was born for this purpose alone. Belthazor looked straight back at him. He wiped his face and walked through his penthouse. He sat down on the sofa turning on the TV. 3 months had passed between them, they had dated flirted kissed talked. STOP GETTING COMFORTABLE AND GET THE JOB DONE belthazor was screaming in his head. He blocked him out for the second to think about his current situation. She was a witch he had killed them before. She is no different; other witches didn't leave their scent all over your apartment. He sighed to himself he was going to kill her soon he would. The electricity he thought to himself what was it since it had passed through him like a shot he had been feeling different almost…he dismissed the thought with disgust. He would never be human it was too late. He shimmered a knife into his hand and looked at it momentarily seeing one of her sarcastic smiles daring him to do it. He opened his mouth rolling his tongue on his bottom lip while thinking about killing such a beautiful person...Creature he corrected himself immediately. His thoughts were jogged by his phone going off. He looked at the message and killing disappeared with it.
Demons were bouncing in and out of the manor more and more the source was really piling the pressure along with the elders. The source wouldn't win no matter what they would destroy him at any cost. She thought about Cole he was a dark figure he excited her, he was funny, cute, flippant, handsome & mysterious. When the spoke she just felt so in tune with him like he could see her for who she was and accept her being a witch. She smiled at the moment where they would finally make love not fuck, she felt they had gone passed that stage it was something more. She had become so jealous when she found out about his other 'friends' they had fallen out and in the end he cut every other woman that wasn't her off, however he did get the occasional phone call or message from certain ones. She was confident he wouldn't stray again now knowing how she felt about him and other women.
Flashback
She sat on the pillows on the floor that he had neatly arranged for them, they had been talking really close she felt to just jump on and take him but she wanted him to make the move. He walked back over to her with some strawberries and cream as she had requested. He bit his bottom lip and then let it go when he sat down next to her.
"Why do you lick you lips so much" she asked him he smiled and licked them on purpose
"I like to taste" he replied he lifted up a strawberry dipped in cream for her and she took half in her mouth and smiled.
"Close your eyes" he said she looked at him and he made a pleading look and she did so
"Why"
the music played softly in the background he had burned a jasmine incense and all she wanted to do was to be with him completely. She never waited this long with a guy before which intrigued her more why did he make her wanna wait for the perfect moment.
"Relax, how you feeling"" he said softly she felt him move then she felt his breath on her neck, his hands massaged her shoulders softly. She leaned back into him eyes still closed.
"I feel good, really good" she replied
"I wanna know exactly what im getting into" his voice was ran over her ears and into her body through her mind everything.
"Getting into"
"Well, ive never waited this long to be with a woman before I would like to be close to you emotionally before I am physically" he said
"Why not" she asked she was loosing all control when around him .
"I wouldn't run my" he whispered the rest in her ear and she couldn't even help the passion growing for him, she dismissed her sisters warnings against him. she wanted this. she needed this she thought as she listened to his sexual promises.
"Opposites attract don't you think" he then dropped"
"Are we different" she asked
"Do you like to think you know me" he then asked out of curiosity.
"What if I did" she asked him she knew she was treading on deep waters with this conversation.
"How much" he asked wondering where he was going with this. He pulled the knife from his side and kissed her neck to distract her from the metal running against her flesh.
"What's that" she asked, he rolled his eyes.
"Trust me" he said.
"Love me" she replied so fast she didn't even register it with her brain. Maybe he would see the sexual meaning to her statement. Suddenly he stopped and at hearing this. She opened her eyes and turned to look at him
"Im not playing anymore" she then told him firmly about more than one thing.
"Do I win" he asked running his fingers over her lips forgetting his knife, she smirked
"No"
"Then we keep on playing" he then said. he grabbed her and she put a finger to his lips that separated the space between them .
"Or just a time out" she kissed him softly he smiled and pushed her back onto the pillows, his hands roamed over her breasts his kisses became short and sweet. He then suddenly broke all connection with her. This was the second time during their relationship that he had done this to her the first time she had been completely confused but understandably it was their first kiss. Now though she thought why she looked at him slightly hurt but then saw something she hadn't seen before he looked hurt and suddenly upset he got up.
"Im coming" he disappeared.
End Flashback
He was never open about any aspects of his life but he was improving with all their deep felt conversations. She had tried to put her psychology degree to the test but he caught onto her. She sighed sadly not quite sure if she was at a loss because she didn't know his intial feelings towards her or because she was longing for something she couldn't have.
"Baby are you asleep" she asked into the phone
"Huh are you ok" he sleepily groaned into the phone, making her smile a little
"No" she replied , they were going to have this conversation now.
"What's wrong who's upset you" he asked , he thought if anyone had upset her they would get it from him personally, however her tone wasn't upset in any way. He looked at the time it was 2.00am. after contemplating his assassination of her , it was better to be done sooner rather than later.
"You have" she replied. He was shocked he opened his eyes a little wider when she said this.
"What did I do" he asked her
"You haven't been honest with me" she then said, his mind raced, did she know he was demon, was she going to suddenly burst through into his room with her sisters and vanquish him. He sighed their time was ended he thought.
"What are you going to do" he asked her regret creeping into his voice, she wouldn't kill him he would kill her first.
"I just want to know why"
"It wasn't meant to be like this"
"Can I come over" she then asked, was she planning to kill him but something abut her voice was genuine. Even if she did try to kill him he would kill first destroying the charmed power.
"Yeah" then their was a knock on his door, he rolled out of bed wearing next to nothing. He only had boxers shorts on he grabbed the jeans on the chair and quickly put them on not bothering with the belt. He opened the door; she looked up at him and smiled shyly
"Sorry for waking you up"
"Come in" he gave her a small hug, when she stayed in his arms he wondered what was wrong with her, why the strong feeling to protect her came from and why he couldn't kill her. Everything he had worked for, KILL HER belthazor kept screaming in his head.
"What's wrong" he asked her looking down at her, she let him go and he remembered that he should put a top on. Even though they had been dating, he didn't allow them to go to completely intimacy not even semi it was too risky. He was demon an heir to the sources throne he couldn't not to her it was unethical if their was such as thing in the underworld. She sat down on the large sofa, she was wearing some jeans and green jacket, her hair was in a messy bun. He sat down next to her and she put her hand on his arm and looked at him.
"You wanna know something" she then asked him suddenly edging close to him, her scent engulfed him and her eyes caught him. He then closed his eyes, one scene he could see her blasting his ass to kingdom come but for some reason he wasn't scared if this was to be the outcome.
"You closed your eyes"
"Im waiting for you" he replied
"I know im not meant to be doing this but we been dating each other for a while now and not once have you told me where we are going with this relationship" He eyes opened wide with shock she wanted commitment. Was she completely insane? A part of him smiled at this thought it would be nice if he wasn't a fucking DEMON. He had to think fast. Break it now and kill her. She looked at him waiting for his answer he couldn't disappoint her
"Were progressing baby" he offered kicking himself on the inside her she raised and eyebrow
"I don't want progression"
"What do you want"
"You" she kissed him taking his breath away, her hands ran up his sculpted chest which had been formed from days on end fighting, training and killing, slowly exploring a part of him he hadn't shared. His eyes closed and he ran his finger up her side up to the back of her neck where he gentle pushed her back as their kiss deepened. His emotions bubbled on the surface of danger.
Every time they got really close he would lock her off not this time she thought, she never wanted someone so bad and she was going to have him, even if it wasn't forever just a small time in his arms was all she wanted all she needed. She had needed him lately she didn't know why but she was falling hard dangerously hard. She almost sensed him about to break and instead she broke before he could. He looked at her
"Why do you always do that" she then asked she wanted to know, what was wrong with him.
"What"
"Stop what's wrong with you" she accused
"I" he started then he let her go and sat straight again, then he got up went to his room she heard him rummaging and took it upon herself
"Cole why are you being like this" she walked into his room , he looked up from the box he was going through and she walked behind him running his fingers up his back he stood up slowly following the lead of her fingers.
"You don't want me" he said
"Wanna bet" she asked him, he let out a sigh of frustration because she wasn't getting it
"Just listen to your sisters, I'm not what you want I'll" he stopped; he wasn't seriously considering having feelings. Was he out of his mind then he felt her cover his eyes with her hands
"Don't you want me" she asked him hurt hat she had to ask
"Yeah I do"
"im not waiting for you to decide on how you feel about me if you feel anything at all" she spoke passionately. She was going to be so hurt he thought and his heart bled at that thought.
"What if" she started then stopped
"What if" he repeated?
"I said I loved you" His heart jumped and plummeted at the same time he felt the outrage of belthazor banging against his head threatening to come through and kill her for that revelation he took a deep breath and turned to look at her. She looked into his eyes her hands falling to his neck
"Don't say it back" she then told him.
"Don't say anything" she then instructed she kissed him deeply. Cole felt everything crash around him she had single handily foiled his plans to kill her. He lifted her up and their kisses became intense and hot. He lay her on his bed, removing the last of her clothes. Kissing her, hearing her moan and knowing he caused her such pleasure desire love. Moved something inside of him the electricity passed through him as he connected with her. Instead of rejecting the impulses to leave her he embraced it. She whispered she loved him and he could hardly believe it. They made love both needed each other desperately.
Morning.
Phoebe could was in heaven she woke up feeling amazing, last night was everything she thought it would be and more, she rolled over to see a sleeping Cole, he looked sweet. She smiled to herself she could see herself like this. The thought didn't scare her as much as it would have done a couple of months ago. She looked at the time; she never told anyone she was leaving last night as it was a spur of the moment thing. She got up and found one of his shirts to put it on enjoying her new found feelings. She didn't want him to say it back because she knew he probably didn't feel the same she couldn't believe she had said it to him in the first place that wasn't part of the plan. Nothing was ever part of the plan with him. She walked out to the front room looking over his things. What are you looking for her inner voice asked her she didn't even know? As she walked her fingers running over cds, magazines, papers. He did confuse her with his consistent mood swings but that was ok she was young she had time to play around and find out about him.
"Find anything interesting" his voice made her turn around she smiled slightly embarrassed at getting caught snooping. He smiled a knowing smile; his smooth muscular chest had her wanting a repeat of last night. She walked up to him and stopped, he smiled and she wasn't even about to give him the satisfaction of knowing she was snooping around his stuff even though he knew it.
"Good morning" he then smiling widely she shook her head at him and hit him
"Stop it"
"What"
"Smiling" he looked then frowned then just smiled again, she walked through to the kitchen and he followed closely behind her.
Cole knew what he had done; he knew why he had done it. Now he was in trouble he could feel the tip in magic when they made love, he could feel the betrayal of evil and the curse of good. He wondered if she felt it how could she still not know that he was demon, her sisters were suspicious but he had been able to enter their house even after the their protection spell. When she found out she would hate him, then her and her sisters would kill him, or he could kill her. Truth was he had given up on killing her, last night had proved too much for him, the electricity that passed through him the first time had been the reawakening of his human side, feelings he never had to deal with things he never had to experience were about to ruin his life ruin his family's life about to betray evil. His father would kill him his mother would kill him, no excuses, no second chances nothing he would be killed. He looked over at her and noticed that he must of zoned out judging by her amused expression.
"How you feeling" he asked bringing her in between his legs, she rested her hands on his chest, she looked at him
"Hungry"
"Hungry" he asked laughing at her response
"Yeah it is like 10.00am what do you eat for breakfast" she asked him, he shrugged
"Nothing …We can cook" she smiled at him
"Can you cook"
"A little bit….what do you want some toast" He made his way over to his fridge he didn't even see anything,
"Toast it is" he then announced
"Are you crazy you better order something" she told him, he held his hands out for her to take and pulled her in , kissing her
"What would like"
"Hmmmm" she kissed him some more and she pushed him back against the sink, kissing him passionately he lifted her up and she smiled seductively
"Toast is off the list" they smiled and he carried her back through to his room for a repeat.
Cole got out of the shower looking at phoebe that was looking so perfect in his bed. She smiled at him and he sat on the edge and they kissed.
UNDERWORLD NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! The source came through his ears, he almost shimmered instantly.
"You're weird" she then told him he smiled
"I have to go take care of some business, do you want me to take you home" she looked disappointed at this but nodded, he kissed her and they left shortly after.
"Bye" she waved as she went into her house. He didn't walk back to the car he shimmered once he got to the corner.
