Here's another one, R&R
Phoebe walked in on Piper and Leo kissing making her gag just a little bit.
"Must you do it in front of me" she now expressed as she went towards the fridge to get something
"Ignore her; she clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. She's been snapping at everyone even Rosa"
"I would never snap at Rosa I love her" she now answered from inside the fridge, talking about her personal maid/nanny.
"Sure, what's up with you anyway?"
"Nothing" she now said sitting at the fairly large table. In the middle their was an arrangement of fruits and other things healthy. She sighed some more
"Boys huh" she now heard Prue say as she entered the kitchen also.
"I guess I'll leave you girls to chat" Leo now announced, and with that he exited the kitchen.
"Well I noticed that you were some what distracted on your birthday, care to mention who he is" Prue now asked her, she rolled her eyes at her older sisters prying and now piper took a seat at the table also wanting to hear the information
"Aren't you guys supposed to be married and grown up, why would you be interested in my love life?"
"So there is a love life" Piper now teased
"I've dated more boys than the two of you put together" Phoebe now said, the two older siblings looked at each other.
"Not so amused now huh" Phoebe now said as she finished buttering her bread and slabbing some ham inside.
"Who is he" Prue now asked her completely ignoring her previous comment.
"There is no HE, now if you don't mind I am going up to my room to sleep some more" Phoebe announced, taking her sandwich to go. Piper and Prue looked at each other but said nothing for this was just what was expected of their younger sibling.
Once she reached her room she closed the door and sat on her bed. Cole had if she could say, disappeared off the face of the planet. Not a call or a text since they kissed at the beach 3 weeks ago. It annoyed her how he could just cut himself off from her like that after such a significant action.
"He probably kisses girls all the time" she now told herself.
However that didn't really help her stop missing him. She wasn't even sure what it was she was missing about him all she knew is that she did. A part of her was worried and was tempted to try and ask around about his whereabouts at school. Seeing as those had been very rare and in between. She opened up her notepad and looked at the address scribbled on it. He might think she was a stalker if she just turned up at his place, what if he was really sick or something. What if that girl demon killed him already? She frowned.
"Well he can't stay gone forever, he has to come back" and with that thought she decided to go back to sleep and be a lady of luxury.
Cole wrapped up his hands in tape; he was ready to do some light sparring with the boxing bag. He was fully aware he had cut off all contact with Phoebe but the brotherhood were becoming too suspicious of his activities and he feared they would send a member to follow him and then find out about Phoebe. He had instead decided to keep a low profile and carry on as if he had never met her but that in itself was extremely hard. Hes couldn't forget the kiss they shared and he couldn't forget all the things he felt when he was around her. The worst of all was that he couldn't forget that he was, or what he felt like he was, falling in love with her. He never experienced it but he couldn't put it down to any other emotion. His relationship with his father was too severed for him to ever ask him about the emotion. He was too stubborn and proud to even want to ask about the emotion,
He took his fighting stance and began his training.
"Miss Phoebe, who exactly are you visiting" Tony the driver asked her, she looked out of the window, knowing that he may think she's a stalker but at least she can give him a piece of her mind if he was at home, then maybe she could get some work done and begin socialising again.
"Just a friend, they've been sick and off school for some time. I want to make sure there ok" she now told him, he looked at in the rear view mirror and seemed to accept this. It wasn't like she was lying but she already knew if her sisters or more specifically father found out she was going to visit Cole he would freak out.
She noticed as they descended further into the town, it got less glamorous, she didn't remember this or even notice this as a child. Something nagged her on the inside but she silenced it. The car came to a halt
"Well we are here" Phoebe looked at the line of houses, and she saw the number she was looking for. The house looked normal but she felt a bad vibe coming from it. Did Cole really live there she thought. She stepped out of the car
"Could you wait for me here please"
"Miss, I am not to leave you unsupervised especially as I do not know who you are visiting. None of your usual friends live this side of town and well it is rumoured that a large collective of demons live over this side." He now explained.
That must be where she was getting the dark feeling from, all the evil in the area. How did Cole come out like he did if he had lived here his whole life?
"I won't be long, please I will call you from inside" she now told him because she didn't really want to appear like she was scared because she wasn't. He stared at her with uncertainty
"You call me otherwise I am going in" Tony now told her, she smiled thankfully and approached the front door.
Ben heard a knock on the door and went to answer it, it was strange no one visited so he expected no one. Cole obviously never used the front door because of his powers and well any one he brought in tow was the same. He opened the door and stared at the teenage girl in front of him. Looking at her with an odd familiarity the realisation dawned on him and he feared for what his son had done.
"What's going on" he asked her now directly, he looked passed her to see the black car waiting patiently outside. Was she here to vanquish him
"Umm I was looking for Cole" she now told him he heard hope in her voice and was taken back slightly by the fact she used his real name.
"No" he answered however he knew his son was downstairs in the basement practicing his fighting technique. She sighed
"Are you sure" she now asked him, she clearly didn't believe him
"Princess Phoebe what are you doing here and what do you want with my son" he now established the relationship between the two of them. She didn't seem to like his response very much.
"Look he's done nothing wrong, well not legally anyway. I just want to talk to him so I'll ask you again. Is he here?"
"You want Cole for personal reasons" he was now very confused. Not only had his son not mentioned that he had been speaking to the princess he had failed to mention he had met her again.
"Um Yeah" she now said looking at the floor. He studied her for a moment and decided he needed to know more about this situation. He let her step inside the house and took another look at the driver who was eying him suspiciously.
He took another look at the young girl, only remembering her as a toddler when he used to meet his old friend Victor.
"He hasn't mentioned that the two of you have reunited" he now said, she looked slightly shocked
"He hasn't mentioned me, at all" she asked now. He looked at her, she had no idea he was demon did she. How is that even possible?
"No he hasn't, where did you meet" he asked he now, more importantly
"At school, he transferred to where I attend." She answered truthfully. He 'transferred' a glimmer of hope ignited within Ben's chest. They stared at each other both suspiciously and confused. Then a crash was heard downstairs
"So he is here" Phoebe now said with a slight annoyance. Ben looked at the girl and wondered.
"Yes"
"Can I see him" Phoebe now asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. She really had no clue that his son was a demon well half demon.
"Of course you can Princess, follow me" he changed his tune because he wanted to see, exactly what had prompted his son's secrecy. After all he was certain that Cole was out to kill the charmed ones which meant he was out to kill her too. He'd hate to think this was some sort of demonic plot but his better judgement saw this as something much more. Something much more serious.
"Cole someone's here to see you" Cole turned too look at his father's interruption and was frozen in his space as he saw who stood behind him. He probably couldn't hide the shock on his face.
"So you're not dead and you're clearly not Ill either" Phoebe now clarified as she looked him directly in the eye. He looked at his father, why would he even let her in.
"I'll leave you guys too it" and his father walked back up the stairs of the basement.
"Hey" was all he could manage to say and it was extremely lamed and she wasn't impressed.
"Hey, is that it" she asked him now stepping more into the basement and somewhat into his battle field. He felt embarrassed he had never thought she would just show up at his place.
"Phoebe I can explain" he now started, knowing she wanted to know why he had vanished
"That would be nice, because you just kiss a girl and then give her the cold shoulder. I don't get that if you didn't like me then you"
"No, No I do like you, I like you a lot. I love your company Phoebe, this has nothing to do with you"
"If you like spending time with me then why have you been avoiding me and why haven't you been in school" she now asked him innocently. He couldn't stop his heart from speaking before his mind had time to mask things smartly. He moved in closer to her and took one of her hands. She looked at him
"I'm not avoiding you."
"You haven't contacted me Cole, that's pretty much avoidance" he took her other hand now
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. Theres just a lot happening with me at the moment and I'm just having a bit of trouble dealing with it." She now looked at him concerned with his statement
"What's wrong" she asked him now, he sighed how did he tell her he was a demon and was eventually going to have to kill her and her family.
"Don't worry, I've got it under control but you shouldn't really be on this side of town. Theres all sorts of dangers around" he now told her truthfully
"I know but, to be honest I haven't been able to concentrate I kept thinking maybe something bad happened to you" she now told him sincerely.
"Well as you can see I am good" he almost cringed at his pun. She smiled a bit now. He touched her cheek
"Your very sweet" he now told her, she rolled her eye slightly
"Well I was hoping you would see me as more than sweet" she now revealed. He smiled a bit
"I do, believe I do." They stared at each other and then for second time he kissed her and she didn't pull back she pulled him in. it was short and she broke it off slowly
"I'd rather you not disappear every time we kiss" she now told him, he smiled
"I'll make it up to you. i don't need to be arrested for displeasing you" he now said.
"I'm not just a princess or a charmed one you know" she now told him
"Sorry. Look I'm sure your not supposed to be out here so maybe you should go and I will definitely call you later" he now said because he felt he was tempting fate by having a charmed one in his house, when his brothers could shimmer in at any moment.
"Am I keeping you from something" she asked him now.
"Cole dinners going to be ready in 30 minutes" Ben appeared back in the hallway and Cole tried to as delicately as he can drop Phoebe's hand and put some space between them.
"Will the princess be staying"
"I wouldn't mind" she now announced much to Coles displeasure
"Um Phoebe"
"Its fine son, I'll set an extra plate" Ben said now before disappearing again.
Cole looked at the floor, what was he going to do. What if someone came and saw her there.
"Won't your parents want to know where you are" he now asked her suspiciously
"Oh they think I'm at a friend's house" she now told him.
"We are friends right" she now asked as they walked up the stairs of the basement.
"I was hoping we were a little bit more than friends" he now said and he couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth but it was everything he wanted. She turned and looked down at him.
"Just a little" she asked him now, he stepped onto her step
"Yeah" she kissed him this time and they stood there holding each other in a tight embrace until they were both breathless.
"Come on, stop stalling" he now said playfully as he turned her back around to continue walking up the stairs. He heard her laugh a little and his heart melted.
Ben stood with a grin on his face that he couldn't hide. He had listened in on their conversation and it appeared that his son had feelings for this girl. Even though she wasn't just any girl, no she was a charmed one she was a witch. She was in effect Cole was trying so hard not to be and that was good. Yet his son was trying so hard to protect her from his true identity. He had to wonder if the girl was slightly dense to not string the clues together in the first place or she was actually that in love with his son she could see nothing but good. Yes he had seen it both their eyes, they were in love. As much as it thrilled him to know there was still hope for his son it scared him, if anyone was to find out about this relationship or even friendship his son could be in danger and this he didn't want. He sighed he didn't know what to do now. Did he just leave them until she found out and rejected him, did he call his son on it and endure the thrashing that would follow. He just didn't know.
He sat observant at the table, as he watched them interact with each other. Very natural and very easy. He had not seen his son like this before and he knew that this girl had affected him seriously. He smiled and laughed and when caught in these actions by his fathers gazing eyes he averted them almost ashamed that he was forced to act this way because of her. She seemed not to mind the awkwardness between father and son but as soon as the meal was finished. Cole offered to walk her out to the car. She accepted and he watched them leave.
Phoebe felt a hundred times better having seen Cole and spoken to him. Their future was looking bright and she couldn't wait to see him again. She couldn't help but feel uneasy around his father, at first it was like he was accusing her of wanting to hurt Cole, which then turned into a series of questions about their relationship. She couldn't help notice the shock when he found out it was personal. Maybe Cole didn't have any girls over or none that he knew of. Or maybe because of the way his friendship ended with her father he figured she would only be on her dad's side. She looked into Cole's blue eyes
"Thank you for dinner" she now said, he smiled happily
"Its ok, I would say anytime but I don't think my dad likes you very much"
"I thought so, well you like me and that's all that really matters" she now said hugging him,
"Yeah I do. Your driver is watching me so um I will see you later" he now told her, she raised a brow
"Really" she asked him now about seeing her later
"Yes really, trust me" he now told her, she figured he had to now anyway
"Ok well I know where you live if I don't see you for another year" she now told him, he smiled
"Don't worry baby I wont keep you waiting that long" he said and smiled. Her mind screamed he called her baby. It sounded so good she had to turn and walk down the stairs quickly to stop him from seeing the stupid grin on her face. She entered the car and blew him a kiss.
"Who was that" Tony now asked her, she sat with her head back on seat thinking about how gorgeous Cole was and how good he made her feel.
"My boyfriend" she said in complete bliss.
"What are you looking at" Cole now asked, as he walked back towards his father.
"Nothing, so were you ever going to tell me you had feelings for a witch" he asked him directly.
"It's not like that" he denied so weakly that Ben knew better. He waited for an explanation
"She surprised me at the school, I didn't know she went there I mean I didn't even remember her or think about her up until I saw her that day"
"And now you think about her all the time" he teased, Cole's eyes blazed
"NO, SHUT UP you know nothing" he stated strongly. Pushing past him to go upstairs.
"I know that you're in love Cole. I know that much" he heard nothing but the door slam and retreated satisfied with his conversation.
Cole threw himself down on his bed, his father was right he was in love. How did he stop it he thought? There should be some sort of dark magic to eliminate it right. He groaned in his heart he knew there wasn't.
"Maybe she won't care" he willed himself to think she wouldn't care he was a demon and want to be with anyway but he knew himself this wasn't true. His happiness was numbered he could feel it.
"I guess whatever you want you get huh" Cole now said to Phoebe, she smiled
"Pretty much, but you would know that" she now winked at him, he grinned.
"My friends want to meet you"
"Do they have too"
"Well there going to keep on thinking it's this guy called Coop if they don't" she now told him,
"That's ok" he now told her
"Why don't you want to meet my friends" she now asked pouting slightly she didn't understand why he wanted to be so secretive about their relationship. There was nothing wrong with them unless he was embarrassed because of who she was.
"I do just I don't think they'll like me very much" he now told her quietly
"Baby of course they'll like you, I do" she told him now completely missing everything in between.
"I'm not so sure, look there's something about me that you should know" he now started looking at; she flicked some sand his way and listened to him. He looked as if he was going to tell her something terrible like maybe her cat had died.
"I'm selfish and want to keep you all to myself" he now said after some intense anticipation. She wanted to be convinced that this was what he wanted to say but she couldn't be. She touched his arm and was secretly hoping for a premonition.
"I can't keep us a secret much longer sooooo"
"I know, when the time is right, you can scream it from the rooftops" he said but his eyes said something completely different. She ignored it and then kissed him
"Ok" she now accepted because she assumed he was dealing with something and maybe having their relationship go public wasn't going to help him at all.
He smiled appreciatively.
"Pheebs come quick, it's the brotherhood they have Sandra, Jason and Lily behind the school gates." Max said panicked as he dragged her in that direction
"I thought they binded all magic in the school"
"Outside the school Phoebe" he stressed as he continued to drag her with urgency, they ran outside the school gates and down this alleyway. What was she supposed to do against the brotherhood?
"LEO" she called quickly because if anyone was going to be hurt at least her white lighter could heal them and alert her sisters. Max stopped holding her so she could stop as Leo appeared in his flurry of orbs.
"What's wrong Phoebe"
"Get my sisters, some demons have my friends" she told him quickly, he nodded and orbed away.
As Phoebe got to the scene she saw a small fight going on between Jason and this demon. The demon was slightly chubby and had a blood thirsty look in his eye as he sent an energy ball at her friend. Jason was able to deflect it with his sound wave power momentarily deafening everyone.
"She arrives" she looked at the tall demon with fish shaped eyes that were sunken into his ugly head. She recognised him from school somewhere.
"Let them go" she now told him trying to sound as powerful as possible
"Stupid witches" he now conjured an energy ball and she levitated and kicked him in the head. He fell backwards with a growl and quickly got up ready to attack. She saw him fly backwards and looked behind her to see her big sister hand extended.
"You ok Pheebs" Prue now asked her, she wondered where Piper was but it didn't matter. They weren't the biggest threat in the world.
"More charmed ones" he said, now almost happy at the thought. Phoebe looked at the chubby demon that had knocked Jason out and Lily and Sandra were too unconscious on the ground.
"Where are our brothers" the chubby demon now asked, with energy balls in tow. Prue looked at her and went to fling him across the ally. He threw his energy ball which grazed her arm.
"Prue are you ok"
"I'm fine, go and check your friends, I'll handle these two" she ran quickly to their sides checking their pulses and Leo came over
"Orb them somewhere safe" she told him urgently, he nodded and engulfed them in orbs.
"What's going on" she froze. No she thought to herself as she heard his voice she looked up and at Cole who was now talking. Prue was about to throw him across the way and he grabbed her sister and instead threw her to the ground.
"Belthazor, charmed witches" the fish eyed demon expressed, Cole turned and just like her he stopped. Prue now jumped up and kicked him in the head he fell to the ground.
"BELTHAZOR" Phoebe felt sick but all the pieces fitted together and she couldn't believe how hopeful and stupid she had been. All the signs had been there screaming in her face he even gave her clues. She looked at him unable to move, unable to feel. A dagger appeared in his hand all the same and he shimmered and before she knew what was happening he had grabbed her by the back and raised the knife.
"Nice witch" his voice was so different now she thought. It was cold it held no feeling it was empty and all she could hear after that was her heart breaking.
Cole didn't know what to do, he had to explain it to her so he shimmered with her in tow. He shimmered to one place then another because he needed enough time to talk to her without getting caught in another lie.
"Could you stop that I feel like I am going vomit." She said clearly angry. He looked around the graveyard he had ended up at. His grip loosened for a moment but that was all it took before she sent him flying on his back with a kick.
"How could you" she screamed as she advanced on him, ready to give him the ass kicking of his life.
"Phoebe please, listen to me I" he had a hundred things running through his mind at the moment.
"SAVE IT" she told him now as she attempted to kick him while he was down. He rolled and got up quickly but she was there ready for him. Her eyes holding no mercy for her now enemy
"Phoebe I"
"You lied to me Cole, you lied and you" she couldn't even speak because her voice was becoming choked with emotion. He looked at the ground
"I never meant for this, you just I just"
"What Cole, you were just trying to kill me all this time"
"This is my fault I should have been smarter. Why else would you socialise with a female demon. No witches would do that no matter how liberal, all this time I thought you were human"
"NO I am human"
"No you are not"
"Yes I am well half human, my mother was a demon" she looked at him
"I don't believe you, I remember the way your dad acted, he was scared at first but then I guessed he got hipped to your game and was proud of how you were stringing me along for the kill" she now told him. Everything made clear and painful sense. He shook his head vigorously
"NO he wasn't proud because of that, my dad is human. He's a mortal just like your dad. There friendship ended because he found out that my dad married a demon" he told her now desperately
"He was happy because, he saw that I was in love and that I wasn't lost to evil" he told her now. She stood for a moment believing him then her lack of judgement from before forced her to glare at him. Had he just spoke about love.
"Phoebe I love you" he told her now. She shook her head in disgust
"Your evil, you don't know love and you don't love me. you betrayed me" she told him hurt now.
"It was all some sick joke, the meetings the kisses the" she stopped and felt tears coming down her eyes.
"No it wasn't, Phoebe I tried to stop feeling like this about you but I couldn't, when you came to my house that day I realised I was in love with you. I'm sorry" he told her. Cole loved her she thought. No he didn't love her he was a demon how could he love her.
"I don't believe you"
"You do Phoebe, I can see it. You love me too" he told her firmly, taking large steps towards her, she backed up slowly
"Stay away from me, I don't love you. How could I" she told him now coldly he stopped and looked at her hurt. No she didn't mean that.
"Cole why did you do this"
"I can't control how I feel" he told her, he tried to reach out for her but she was scared. He bowed his head now.
"I'm sorry I'll leave you alone" he told her now.
"Were going to have to kill you" she now told him
"I know but not if I kill you first right" he now said sadly. Before she watched him shimmer away with her heart in his hands.
"There getting stronger" Prue now informed her sisters
"I know they must be putting them in over drive, I knew it was too good to be true when you said they were acting normal at school"
"Exactly this is why we need to get those vanquishing potions asap" Prue now stated clearly
"Pheebs" Piper now called she snapped out of her day dream.
"Yeah" she asked now
"Are you ok, you've been pretty space since the attack last week" Piper now asked concerned.
"I'm fine it's just that my friends could have died and well that's a scary thought" she lied, it was because of what she found out about Cole and unfortunately she had not heard or seen him but unlike last time. She wouldn't go looking for him or so she told herself.
"Well now these demons are coming in left right and centre so we need to be on guard" Piper now told her, which Prue agreed. She remembered hearing Cole's demonic name and wondered if he was in the book of shadows. He was still young though so maybe he wasn't but he was part of the brotherhood so maybe he was. She had not told her sisters of what had happened she was too ashamed. How could she have fallen for him, he was evil. Had he really been plotting the whole time he was with her? Even when he was holding her. She bit her lip and felt more tears about to sting her eyes. How dare he she thought. She hated him for making her feel like this.
Cole sat silently, was he right to just give up his feelings like that. What else could he do either way he would be killed by one side. He couldn't betray his team but he couldn't hurt Phoebe as well. He glared at the floor; this couldn't be it he thought. She had to at least give him a chance it wasn't like he hurt her while they were together. He never had any intention of doing so ever. He hated her for making him feel like this and so he decided he wouldn't feel like this. He just wouldn't.
The battles in school became more frequent to the point that almost all the demons that had come to be in the school had left or had been vanquished. There had been a few. She really didn't care too much anymore. It was like every time they vanquished a demon she just imagined seeing him there in front of them bursting into flames and it hurt. Naturally she told her friends her 'relationship' was over with her mystery man. Cole knew exactly why they wouldn't like him and he still kept it from her.
"Would you have been different if he told you" she wondered and she doubted. She never really thought she could feel like this about a demon or a boy. She knew her sisters would go crazy if they found out she had been secretly meeting a demon. Even though in her defence she didn't know but she should have known is what she kept telling herself. It wasn't as if he was so discreet they did everything normally. She saw him at school she may not have spoken to him but that didn't really matter because they met and hung out at the beach.
She watched the waves and the resembled Cole's eyes in colour. She wondered what he was doing. It was weird for her she went from spending so much time with him too not seeing him at all in weeks. She didn't know what to do,or how to feel about it but she did know that no matter what she felt about him and his lies she just needed to know he was ok.
"Ok look this doesn't mean I care about you or anything like that, but I need some answers so if you can hear and are not too busy killing witches. I would like for you to show yourself" she now said out loud. Minutes passed and she guessed their 'bond' just wasn't that strong. She huffed a little at his no show. They were really through she thought and it scared her because it meant she would have to kill him and she didn't know if she could do that but she also knew her family wouldn't understand. She spent a little bit more time on the beach, just waiting for her dinner to ready before heading back to the palace. When she felt it, turning around she saw him standing there, wearing all black.
"What do you want" he asked her, she noted the attitude and didn't appreciate it.
"You have some nerve"
"You have some balls calling me in the first place, what do you want" he asked her directly. She was quiet for a moment and stared at him
"I wanted to know why you never told me" she now asked her
"I mean there must have been a billion things I said or did that could have had you tell me" she now continued. He took a deep breath and looked away from her
"I don't know, I didn't want to upset you or scare you" he told her now, she looked at him
"I guess I just wanted to act normal for a while and you seem to have missed every clue thrown your way about" he trailed off now.
"You being evil, yup stupid me" she now said annoyed because it was true.
"It doesn't really matter anymore anyway" he now said looking back at her
"What doesn't matter"
"It doesn't matter how I feel because it doesn't change anything I'm still on the other side and you don't feel the same" his last part was more of a question which she could easily answer but didn't want to. She really wanted to say something to make him feel better but she wasn't sure if she should.
After nothing was said
"Look after yourself Phoebe because I won't be responding to you anymore" he now told her with finality. She didn't know how to respond.
"Cole I love you" she suddenly blurted out as she felt him about to shimmer away. He stopped and looked at her in disbelief
"I love you and I hate that you lied to me and that we can't be together but that's how I feel so No it doesn't change anything but YES it does matter." She told him now lovingly.
She took a cautious step towards him and he remained in place not saying a word.
"You did hear me right" she asked him, he nodded slowly
"I heard you but I don't know what to do about it, there isn't a way we could ever be together" he now told her sadly. She thought about this, was she actually thinking about continuing her relationship with him. It had been over a month since the news broke that he was a demon and in that time she had felt so lost and empty without him. She wasn't her self, she was lonely even when she was with her friends or being talked to by a cute boy she was still lonely.
Cole wanted this but he didn't know how to get what he wanted without someone getting seriously hurt. That didn't stop him grabbing her gently. He would protect her no matter what.
"I wish I didn't miss you" she now said quietly, he understood exactly what she felt. He gently stroked her cheek
"Phoebe you don't have to do anything you don't want to" he now told her because he wasn't asking her to make a choice.
"I would have to though wouldn't I, I mean if I let you go and you decide to put your all into being evil I'll have to kill you and I don't want to that" she now explained quietly and sadly.
"I'm not putting my all into being evil, in fact I'm staying as far away from it as I can."
"How can you say that your part of the brotherhood, they killed three witches last week"
"Yeah they killed three witches last week. Not me, I've been manufacturing my kills. I can't anymore, the way I feel about you it doesn't allow me too" he now revealed, she was touched by his statement. She smiled a little.
"What now Cole" she asked him, where did that leave them. She knew if she could just stand here on the beach in his arms she would but she couldn't they had to figure this out.
"I don't know, that's up to you. You're the princess" he now said sweetly. She said nothing and then she kissed him. He was clearly shocked by this action and it took him a moment to respond.
"OK, do we carry on like this? Figure it out together." She asked him
"Um I don't know, do we" he asked in return she thought about it. There had to be a way for them to be together he was half human after all. He wasn't all bad she thought, she bit her lip.
"Can you really not be evil or is it something you cant control because I cant do this if your going to let me down or"
"Phoebe I've sat on the beach with you for over 6 months now, without having one thought about killing you, in that time I've done nothing but act normal much to my teams displeasure. Only that day when you found out was the only day I was willing to be Belthazor" he now admitted. She looked at him
"And your not going to be him anymore" she asked him now
"Not if you don't want me to" he told her.
"You have to not want to, otherwise you might",
"I don't want to be, I want to be with you" he told her now and turned her face up and kissed her softly.
"I've got to go" he looked disappointed with her announcement because she had not told them where they stood. She kissed him
"I need some to just think about this, a lot of people are going get hurt, and definitely not agree. Can you give me that please" she asked him. He was sceptical was she going to change her mind.
"I'm not going to change my mind about what I want Cole, I just don't know"
"Don't know if I'm worth it" he now finished, he took a deep breath trying to hide his hurt and then not be annoyed with her. It had to be hard for her in her position also.
"No I know your worth it, no ones ever made me feel the way you have and I can't ignore that. I just don't know how to tell my family"
"Do you have to tell them straight away" he asked her now, she looked at him suspiciously
"Why, are you scared of what"
"I'm not scared I just know we wont be accepted. Your dad finished his friendship with my father because my mother was demon even though he had met her prior to finding out." He now said bitterly she considered this. He then looked towards the sea
"I've got to go too, the others want me. will you call me" he asked her now.
"What are you going to do" she asked him now, he half smiled at her suspicion
"Nothing evil" was all he gave her
"Phoebe if you want this then you have to trust me when I say I won't turn back" he told firmly she understood this and nodded.
"Ok, bye" she now said to him, he kissed her cheek and shimmered.
With that she already knew she had made her choice. They were going to be together.
"Boy, am I in trouble" she said out loud and started on her way back home.
