CHAPTER 2: Confusion
"Prue! Prue! Are you here?" Phoebe yelled walking into the Manor.
"Phoebe! Demon!" Chris yelled running down the steps with Prue following him.
Phoebe looked at the demon when it shimmered right in front of her and Phoebe gave him a good kick in the chest sending him backwards. He crashed into the wall and Prue flicked her wrist sending him back against the wall when he tried to stand. Phoebe looked around for a sharp object to throw at him coming up empty handed she turned to her daughter.
"Phi, mommy wants you to use your powers now to create a knife."
Phiona looked at her mother with wide eyes, "but but—" Phiona said.
"Now, Phiona!" Phoebe yelled as the demon made an attack for them.
Phiona conjured the knife and Phoebe grabbed it as the demon ran towards her again. She shoved it in his chest making him burst into flames.
"What the hell was that?" Phoebe asked turning to Prue and Chris.
"That was the demon I was trying to tell you about before you left." Chris said dusting himself off.
"Uh huh." Phoebe said looking at her daughter and nephew.
"Thanks, Phi." Phoebe muttered picking her daughter up and hugging her.
"Where's Piper?" Prue asked going over to Wyatt.
"She went out to run some errands." Phoebe replied looking at her sister.
"Prue, I have to talk to you." she added then turned to Chris. "Can you take the kids for a few minutes?"
Chris looked at Phoebe with wide eyes. "Are you serious I can't—"
"thanks Chris." Phoebe said handing him Phiona and Prue did the same with Wyatt.
Chris looked back and forth between Prue and Phoebe and Phiona and Wyatt. "Fine, we'll be upstairs." he muttered heading up the stairs.
"What is it Phoebs?" Prue asked sitting down.
"Well, I got a premonition today." Phoebe said looking down at her lap.
"A premonition? What was it about?" Prue asked confused.
"Well...it was about...Cole." Phoebe said scratching the back of her neck. "Funny, right?" Phoebe said sheepishly grinning.
"Uh, no Phoebe. Cole? What was he doing?" Prue said getting slightly mad.
"Well, he was here, and well, we were talking...and then he was fighting a demon and killed it. Not in that order though, and uh Phiona and I were there." Phoebe said not looking at her sister.
Prue opened her mouth to say something when the door opened and Piper walked in.
"I'm home!" Piper yelled walking in with some bags in her hands.
"Piper!" Prue said looking at her younger sister. "How are you?" Prue asked as Piper sat her bags down.
"Fine, fine, what happened here?" Piper asked taking in the distruction of some of the furniture.
"Oh nothing, just a demon attack." Phoebe said laughing it off. "Phiona saved the day." she added.
"Uh huh." Piper said looking around then back at her sister's faces. "What happened? What's wrong?" Piper asked seeing the weird looks of Prue's and Phoebe's face.
"Cole's back." Prue stated looking at Phoebe. "Phoebe had a premonition."
"Oh...that's bad." Piper said grimacing.
"Yeah, it is." Phoebe said nodding. "It gets worse. Phiona sees him." Phoebe added thinking of her premonition and her daughters face.
"Well we told you from day one of finding out you should've told him." Piper said shrugging.
"It's what I would've done." Prue added.
"Well, you guys didn't want him back." Phoebe said crossing her arms then shaking her head. "Whatever it's in the past we have to think of the future."
"That's what I've been saying all along!" Chris said coming down the stairs.
"Where are the kids?" Prue asked looking at him.
"In their playpen. I have the monitor." Chris said holding the baby monitor up.
Piper nodded then turned back to her sisters. "And what of the future do we have to think about? What do you think he wants?"
Phoebe shrugged looking at Chris. "In the future do you know anything about a demon called Belthazar coming back?"
"Ye–No. I don't. Future Consequences, Phoebe." Chris said looking at his shoes.
"Fine, then. We'll all just be ready for when he comes...or something. By the way Piper what are you doing tomorrow night?"
"Nothing, why?" Piper asked looking at her younger sister.
"Well Jason wants to come over for dinner and meet Phiona."
Piper and Prue exchanged looks then looked back at Phoebe.
"Interesting, timing." Prue muttered standing up.
"Fine, I'll cook and he can come, now let's all—"
A familiar orbing sound interrupted Piper and down from the heaven descended Leo Wyatt, Piper's ex.
"Leo." Piper said bitterly looking at her soon to be ex husband.
"Hi Piper." Leo said only having eyes for Piper.
Phoebe looked at Prue uncertain and Chris looked at all of them wondering what was going to go down.
"Well, uh, I'm gonna go check on the kids." Chris said heading towards the stairs.
"Good idea, Chris!" Prue said smiling and following him.
"Yeah I'll–" Phoebe started but Piper pulled her back towards her and Leo.
"Phoebe tell Leo about your premonition."
"Well I wanted to talk to Piper." Leo started.
"Phoebe tell." Piper commanded.
"Um, ok, well Cole was in it."
Leo took his eyes off of Piper for the first time since getting to the Manor. "What happened?"
"He helped us." Phoebe said shrugging. "And we talked." she added.
"Is that it?" Leo asked turning back to look at Piper.
"Yeah, so I am going to go see how Phiona is." Phoebe said hurrying off to the steps.
"After 3 long years she still isn't over that guy." Piper muttered staring after her sister.
"Piper? How are you?" Leo asked touching her face lightly.
Piper turned away from his touch and looked at the floor. "Leo, I think you should leave." she muttered.
"I need to talk to you, Piper." Leo said hurt from the look on her face.
"About what?" Piper mumbled finally looking at him.
"Well, the Elders said that something was coming. Something that could disrupt this time or something. The details are all very fuzzy, but now that Phoebe has told me about her newest premonition I think that maybe it has something to do with Cole."
"This whole new rising power thing has to do with Cole?" Piper asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm not sure, but the Elders think something is coming, and it's coming soon. I would've had Chris tell you instead of coming down myself, but he never comes up there." Leo said looking into Piper's brown eyes.
Piper looked towards the stairs and shrugged. "Well, ok, then. I'll talk with Prue and Phoebe about it, but like it or not Leo Chris is our new whitelighter and you can't just pop by every time you feel like it." Piper said shaking her head. "And Cole is coming wither everyone wants him to or not, Phoebe saw it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to start putting a list together for tomorrow night." Piper said heading towards the kitchen leaving Leo standing there alone.
Phoebe woke early the next morning to a little lump in her bed.
"Mommy? Are you awake yet?" Phiona whined as she saw her mother's eyes open.
Phoebe laughed and wrapped an arm around her daughter. "Maybe, Phi, depends what you want."
"I want Pancakes! And a story!" Phiona said snuggling next to her mother and giving her a pout. "Pleeease!" Phiona said pouting.
Phoebe rolled her eyes but gave in like she always did when her daughter wanted something and she gave her that look. "Fine, go get dressed. I'll go start the pancakes." Phoebe said rolling over to get our of bed.
Phoebe glanced at the clock and was surprised at the time, 11:30. She walked out of her room as her daughter ran in her own room across from Phoebe's.
"Phoebe? you up!" Chris yelled as Phoebe descended the stairs.
Phoebe glared at him then nodded. "Yes, I am up, Chris now what?" Phoebe asked annoyed and heading into the kitchen.
"We need to fight this demon." Chris said rolling his eyes behind his charges back.
"We did Chris, yesterday." Phoebe said looking in the cupboards for some ingredients.
"What are you doing?" Chris asked watching her look through the cupboards.
"Looking for pancake ingredients."
"Phoebe, you can't cook, not now, not in the future, not ever." Chris said frustrated.
Phoebe turned towards him a hand on her hip. "How do you know I don't cook in the future?" she asked suspiciously.
"Phoebe that's not the point, the point is some demon is trying to avenge the demon we killed yesterday, is trying to kill us." Chris said waving his hands around.
"Well I still wanna know how you know this!" Phoebe whined looking at the young man who rolled his eyes.
"Impossible." Chris muttered. "I'm going to look in the book and try to make a potion for this demon." Chris added orbing out as Piper walked in carrying groceries.
"Good, your up. Now, I was thinking tonight I could make some—"
"Chris is being weird again, Piper." Phoebe said interrupting her sister.
Piper put her groceries on the counter and started to unload them "Phoebe, he's always weird." Piper said not looking up from her what she was doing.
"Well today he was especially weird, like, he said some weird stuff...and he seemed like...familiar...like...you." Phoebe said shrugging then looking at her sister who finally looked up.
"Phoebe, I am not neurotic. He is. Now tonight for everyone and Jason coming over I've decided to make pasta, along with garlic bread, salad, and a cheesecake. What do you think?"
Phoebe nodded not really paying attention. "Sounds great. I'm going to go take Phiona out for breakfast." Phoebe said leaving the kitchen.
Piper shrugged looking around the kitchen. "Be back by 6." Piper muttered going over to the stove to get ready to start making dinner.
Phoebe went up the stairs and into her daughter's room to find her trying to get a very fancy dress over her head.
"Phi, hun? What are you doing?" Phoebe asked going over to her daughter and fixing the dress.
"I want to look pwetty." Phiona said pouting.
Phoebe laughed.
"For who?"
"The man that's coming." Phiona said looking at her mother. Phoebe laughed again.
"Babe, Jason, doesn't care what you look like."
"Not Jason, the other man." Phiona said looking into her mothers brown eyes.
Phoebe felt her heart stop for almost a whole minute before she answered. "Phi? Where did you see this man?"
"I had a dream last night, about a man coming to save me. I think...mommy? Where's my daddy?" Phiona asked sadly.
"Well, hun, I think you are going to meet him...soon." Phoebe muttered wrapping her arms around her daughter. She was very confused. Her daughter could conjure objects not see the future...unless it was something else. Phoebe shuddered and pulled her child closer.
"Let's go get some pancakes." Phoebe muttered pulling away from her daughter a little.
"Ok." Phiona said smiling.
"But first lets change you." Phoebe said a ghost of a smile on her face.
"Ok, but can we talk about my dad?" Phiona asked.
"Well, Phi, how about we go out for breakfast first then we can talk about Cole later."
"Is that his name?" Phiona asked curiously.
Phoebe nodded helping her daughter change. "I promise to tell you all about him after we have dinner with Jason tonight."
Phiona rolled her eyes but nodded. "Fine." she said her voice slightly bitter.
"Good, let's go." Phoebe said taking her daughters hand.
A couple hours later Phoebe walked through the door with her daughter.
"Phoebs? Is that you?" Piper yelled from the kitchen.
"Yeah! I'm home!" Phoebe said.
Prue emerged from the stairs and smiled at her sister and niece. "Hey, Phi? How was breakfast?" Prue asked picking the little girl up and hugging her.
Phiona giggled. "Good, where's Bwane?"
Prue giggled. "Ahh she's so cute!" Prue said hugging the girl closer.
Phoebe nodded smiling sadly. "Yeah, and so much like—"
"Prue! Behind you!" Chris yelled jumping out of nowhere and onto a demon. Prue flicked her hand and the demon was sent into the wall.
"Piper! A little help!" Phoebe yelled as the demon got up and two more appeared.
Prue set her niece onto the floor and flicked her wrist at one of the demons. The demon blocked her attack and Prue backed up slowly waiting for Piper to come.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled as one of the demons attacked her. She grunted as the demon got the upper hand punching her in the stomach then kicking her across the room and against the wall. Phiona ran over to her mother tears streaming down her face.
"Mommy?" Phiona whispered. Phoebe's head was bleeding and her breath was shallow.
"Phiona! Shimmer away!" Prue yelled as she tried fighting the demons who through her against a wall and she was knocked out.
"Auntie Piper!" Phiona wailed as the demons fought Chris who was looking paler by the minute and being beat very badly. Phiona looked towards the kitchen but Piper never came. Phiona looked around the living room scared as the three demons came closer to her.
Just then a tall man shimmered in front of her and sent three energy balls to each demon killing them in a matter of minutes. The man looked around the room his eyes turning to rest on her. Phiona looked at the man not with fear but another emotion, relief.
"Thank you for getting wid of the bwad men." Phiona muttered smiling at the man.
The man looked down at her with confusion and looked around the manor. "What happened?" he asked talking for the first time since getting there.
Phiona shrugged watching him. "I dunno but we have to call for Uncle Leo." she muttered then taking a breath of air and yelling for her uncle who orbed in without hesitation.
"Phiona?" Leo asked not seeing the man and going over to Phoebe beside the girl. "What happened?" he asked healing Phoebe then going to Chris and Prue. "Where's Piper?" Leo asked looking around the room to distraught to see the man.
"Kitchen." Phoebe croaked sitting up slowly she looked up to see the man and her face went totally blank.
"Cole." Phoebe muttered looking at him with wide eyes. He looked back at her with love in his eyes.
"Phoebe." he said stepping towards her.
Prue sat up slowly seeing the man that had hurt her sister and she shook her head knowing now was not the time to intervene. As Prue got up and started to walk away from where she had been laying the bell rang and everyone looked over towards it.
"Oh crap." Phoebe muttered knowing who it was.
(A/n: So? how was it? I hope it was enjoyable and not bad or anything. lol. yeah so...can't wait to hear what you think of it!)
