"Are you sure Leo" Piper asked him seriously, he nodded
"I knew it" Prue then spoke not even caring about her baby sisters feelings.
"There was a tip in magic last night, They slept together, the last time their was a tip in magic, well there has never been. The sources son slept with a charmed one. It was Phoebe" Leo spoke, the guy she had been dating. He thought Cole was strange the first time he met him and shook hands with him, he could of sworn that he was wiping orbs off of his hand after that but discarded the thought as no evil souls could enter the manor due to the spell.
"How did he get in the house all those times, the spell it didn't work?"
"It worked, he just, hes of another nature" Leo explained
"Demon" Prue replied with hate
"Half Human, Half Demon" Leo finished the sisters looked in shock
"Is that even allowed" Piper asked, just then Phoebe stood with a shocked expression after hearing the conversation going on.
"Phoebe hes" Prue didn't even finish before a angry expression crossed her face.
"This isn't happening" She left the attic.
A million and one things crossed her mind, how could she not know, the mood swings the reluctance to be intimate, constant leaving. She thought about all the signs, he tried to warn her last night he tried to warn her, he never revealed his feelings, he never had any. She felt sick, she fell back on her bed, numbed by the pain she was feeling. She loved a demon, she fantasised a future with a demon, and she wanted a demon. Tears started to form in her eyes. Why didn't he just kill her if that was his mission he should of done it. The first night, last night. Plenty of opportunities why didn't he. The one man she imagined herself with had to be a demon he had to be evil. She rolled over on her side, something wasn't right. If he wanted to kill her and her sisters why didn't her do it. Maybe his human half. No that was insane he was a demon he strung her along.
"Phoebe" Prue entered her room, she didn't move or say anything she knew her sister didn't understand and would, she never liked him but that was beside the point.
"We have to kill him & his father" she spoke confidently and coldly, Kill him she thought no they couldn't she wouldn't she needed to talk to him. Her heart hurt and she hated him why did he do this why did he have to bad.
"Do you understand"
"I love him" she replied
"No you don't, its just a faze your get over it"
"I LOVE HIM what don't you understand" she repeated for her sister but it fell on deaf ears
"Hes evil he must be killed, He will kill us, do you really think hes going to threat about killing you , hes a demon he doesn't hold feelings just let it go" she said harshly because she was being irrational .
"If he wanted to kill me he could of done it, hes had more than enough time why didn't he"
"He doesn't care about you" Prue stressed, Phoebe sat up in her bed
"Maybe not but there's a reason" she said as much as it pained her to say that he didn't care about her.
"Were going to summon the source tonight catch him off guard"
"What about Cole"
"Him as well" Prue told her, they looked at each other.
"Don't even think about going any where near him without us who knows what he will do" Phoebe looked at her sister in disbelief. Prue left and she was left not without dropping a potion on her bed.
"Cole Why didn't you kill me" she asked out loud and with that she picked her bag and left the house.
Cole Observed the burn on his cheek from the fireball, he knew she knew. Last night was the final straw. He picked up the knife on the table wielding it skilfully. He let himself slip and was facing the consequences this was his last chance to prove to his father that he wasn't a mistake he wasn't a failure he completed tasks like this in the past he didn't know why he allowed his weak human half get the better of him. NOT ANYMORE belthazor replied to his thoughts. He heard the buzzer go off. He walked to the elevator doors and answered
"Who is it" he asked simply
"Phoebe" He stopped and pressed the button. Now the whole killing him scene played in his head. Why did he let her in? He waited for her to burst through the doors with her sisters with some vanquishing potions.
The doors opened and she walked out calmly. He looked straight at her and she the same. He could see she had been crying, hurt ,anger, pain flooded her features. He crossed his arms across his chest in an attempt to shield himself from her.
"What are you doing here" he asked in a cold tone, there was no use pretending anymore, she looked at him
"Why"
"Its my purpose" he replied the notation that had been drilled into him from birth as if it was natural.
"Your purpose to what be a demon or to kill us"
"I am a demon, killing you was what I was born for" he replied with the same tone. She looked at him in disbelief
"Why didn't you kill me how long does it take you" she then asked him her voice breaking between hurt and anger. She caught a glimpse of the knife in his hand and he followed her eyes
"Would you like me to make it painless" he couldn't believe what he was saying, she stormed over to him grabbing his arm so fast he couldn't react and before he knew it she raised the knife to her neck.
"Do it" she spoke definitely; he focused not on her but on what she was. What he hated witches. Good, Pure. His hand remained still not daring to jog the knife
"Kill me DEMON" she spat at him at that point, he lowered the knife
"Go back to your sisters, they need you"
"Do it Cole kill me that's what you're here for , that's why you did all those things with me because you wanted to kill me your purpose remember, complete your job" she shouted at him, he lowered his head
"I bet your loving this" she said with hate, he looked at her tear stained eyes, he dared not to move any closer to her.
"This wasn't my plan" he then said
"Of course not you just made me fall in love with you" she stopped and tears started to roll down her eyes, this was too much for him.
"Opposites attract" he threw coldly at her she hit him clear across the face. Belthazor roared and he saw the fear in her eyes she took a step back from him.
"You're a monster , were going to kill you" she then told him definitely. He shook his head
"How could I ever" she looked at him thinking how she could still love him.
"What love a demon, you tell me because I was just as shocked" he told her that angered
"Your …"
"Im a demon get over it, my family, your family were destined to kill each other, whether I kill you doesn't make a difference im evil and your good now leave me before I complete my job" Phoebe then noticed the change in his demeanour and it was one of his consistent mood swings but now she could pin it. He shifted between demonic and human nature. She suddenly felt the urge to explore this, it was risky she knew but she needed to know.
"Last night you"
"I know what I did the whole of magic knows what we did" he spoke lowly, ashamed of what he had done
"I meant what I said" she then told him "
"You're going to kill me I know" he replied
"No what I said last night" he looked at her
"Don't" he then told her
"You could of killed me anytime that you wanted but you didn't why not I mean your bloods cold right" she asked him
"Complications" he explained , she then took a step towards him and he took a step back. She smirked at him, the balance tipped in her favour. He looked at her in complete fascination was this witch crazy she was seriously considering making him admit it. NO was all he heard Belthazor saying firmly. Phoebe took another step and completely closed the space between them she looked up at him, right into his eyes and to avoid anything his eyes turned black. He saw the shock then the amusement.
"You can't hide" she told him,
"You're insane" he told her firmly, shifting from her touch, the witch was making him the sources heir the sources son uncomfortable, nervous. GET A GRIP AND THROW HER belthazor took control of him, he grabbed her and she screamed he looked into her eyes his black eyes absorbing her. Her hands went up around his neck instantly her lips touched his, he roared at the connection but she persisted, he tried to shake her but she wasn't letting go. Her tongue slipped into his mouth he lost control, belthazor tried, it wasn't that her hold was too strong; he didn't want her to let her go. He resisted and resisted, until he couldn't anymore her mouth moved over his. She kissed him passionately, once he stopped resisting she looked at him with big brown eyes. His eyes changed back to blue and she smiled then letting go of him.
She stood and looked at him, taking him in , looking for something anything, he frowned at her what was she playing at he could of killed her.
"Really could you" she asked as if she was reading his mind. Belthazor took control and he shimmered.
Phoebe stood in complete awe of Coles behaviour yes it was crazy she knew it was but he had let his guard down when he shifted into belthazor, she sensed love, care, upset, anger, resentment she also had a premonition not of the future but of his past with his father, as boy growing up it shed light on so many things she was intrigued. His mind was strong and his demonic state wasn't about to let him go, he would deny his human half till no end. She knew he did, he was just having a hard time coming to terms with it. They couldn't kill him, it wasn't his fault. She felt burning hate for the source. Where did he go, why did he go. He got scared couldn't handle the human half and retreated.
"I don't lose" she said out loud as if he could hear her.
Cole stood in the chambers; he walked a little bit, feeling slightly sick after his encounter with Phoebe. He walked until he reached his mothers bit. Today she looked human not Evil. She looked at him her eyes locking with his.
"What's wrong, you look ill " she observed her son , he was off colour and looked distraught. The demon and human were battling. She got up as Cole fell to the floor screaming in pain of the halves he had kept under such tight control up until now.
"Mom she's …I cant" he stammered and gibbered as he held his head and shook violently, she watched her son morph between belthazor and Cole. She watched feeling helpless. When he was born she knew this would happen there was no way Ben could have trained him for this, he thought he could numb him but didn't understand her son possessed great power and if not dealt with correctly could result in catrosphotic results. She recited something and he was put to sleep she lay him on a bed and bent down to kiss his forehead and shimmered.
"The crystal" Prue shouted at piper who put it in position the source smiled and threw a fireball at piper who froze it and moved well out the way. Phoebe was dead lock with the creator of her pain, she looked at him as the winds in the attic blew and they fought, they got him in the circle. They began reciting the spell to vanquish him.
"MY SON" he shouted as he felt the power slipping from him, just then the spell was cut off the crystals were burst into tiny pieces.
"What the hell" Prue screamed, the source smiled
"Honey you really do pick your moments" he then spoke loudly, they searched the room, Prue looked confused, they all looked around. Just then a woman appeared in a flame. She was beautiful, her long black hair hung at her back. They instantly knew who she was her eyes scanned the room and then she almost smiled at the girls.
"Cole's sick" she looked at her husband and he looked, Prue used her telekinesis but the woman Deflected back at her,
"Prue" Piper ran to her side. Prue looked up angrily at the scene unfolding.
"The boy is useless to me" he replied simply. The woman looked angry
"Hes still my son" The source was wounded from the fight; she took his hand and flamed just before pipe hit them with an explosion.
"Who was that" Prue asked out loud
"I think that was mummy's dearest" Piper said, Leo shook his head
"Are they serious, A family of evil" Prue then said in complete disbelief,
"She said he was sick" Phoebe then spoke for the first time since the fight.
"Good let's hope he dies" Prue spat and walked over to the book of shadows. Phoebe didn't take offence; she was more worried about what was wrong with Cole.
"His mother burst the crystals and she wasn't even present what do you know about her" Prue directed her question at Leo.
"Nothing the elders no nothing on her, she's it's hard to explain" he then said
"Try" Prue pressed. Phoebe wondered what this was all turning into but what was wrong wit him she hoped he was ok. She sighed as she listened to her sister's hate filled words.
"Were up against so much more than what the elders told us" Prue then said annoyed and angry. She stormed out of the attic. Piper looked at Leo who in turn looked at Phoebe who then got up and walked.
"What's wrong with him" he asked as he looked at his son who was in a complete state.
"Their fighting" she explained
"What do we do" he asked
"Wait" she looked at her son who still changing from belthazor to Cole his body was shaking as if someone was killing him. He was fitting, screaming out. This wasn't the first time this had happened but they said they would control it next time. The source disappeared and she sat by his side, stroking his hair.
"Be strong" she whispered.
