Part 4

'Gone but not forgotten?' he grinned moving slowly closer to the witches. Billie looked between Phoebe and the intruder.

'What are you...How is this even possible?' she glared at him, never once breaking their eye contact, she knew better than that.

'Well I never thought I'd see you again; guess some people are just lucky.'

Billie looked over at the kitchen knives. She pointed her hand toward one and then back towards Cole, sending it flying towards the Demon present in their living room. Cole dodged the weapon with ease and began to laugh.

'Who's the new girl Phoebe? Not another sister hidden under the woodwork?' he laughed, 'She's lacking a little isn't she.'

Billie furrowed her brows at the intruder; not only had he just insulted her but he had also just referred to Phoebe as if he knew her.

'Take it easy Billie,' Phoebe said putting her arm protectively in front of the blonde, 'He's my ex-husband.'

Billie's eyes widen in shock, she knew Phoebe had been married previously and that he'd been killed, but no one really talked about it, she'd figured it caused too much hurt for the sister's to talk about it.

'I just came by to make my presence known Halliwell,' he smiled, 'But don't worry, I'll be back'

And with that he simmered out in a fizzle of black smoke.

Phoebe's leg felt weak, and before she knew it she was falling, only to find herself being caught by Billie. The blonde lowered Phoebe onto the sofa behind them, and Phoebe felt safety in the blonde arms. She didn't have to say anything to the younger girl; Billie just instinctively knew and called for Paige.

'Wait...So you're saying Cole was in your living room...as in ex- husband Cole? Crazy Cole? Source of all Evil Cole?' asked Paige in disbelief.

Paige had orbed the two girls back to the manor, and Billie found herself sitting with Paige, Piper, and Phoebe more confused that she was before. 'Wait he was the source?' questioned Billie, 'and you married him?...You do have bad taste in men.'

'This isn't the time for a trip down memory lane, or judgment on Phoebe's awful taste in men.' Sighed Piper leaning back in her chair, 'What are we going to do?'

The three other witches just stared back at her, none of them had an answer, all were still trying to adjust to the idea of Cole being back, Billie more so than anyone else.

'He said he was going to be back.' Offered Billie trying to focus more on the task in hand rather than the burning hatred she felt growing for the demon who'd just caused so much havoc among the witches with only one short simple appearance.

'I'll go check with the elders,' suggested Paige, 'Maybe they know something about this.'

'I'll check the book, but I'm pretty sure there can't be anything we don't know about Cole by now, at least nothing that would be in the book anyway.' Stated Piper standing just as Paige orbed out.

Billie moved closer to the older brunette and placed a comforting arm around her. Phoebe looked up and gave her a weak smile.

'So you're ex-husbands a demon huh? Bet all that evil really got in the way of your sex life.' she joked. Phoebe let out a small smile, glad for the comforting words.

'He was just one of many big mistakes I've made when it comes to men.'

Billie pulled the older witch closer to her, wrapping her arms as tight as she could without hurting her. She felt Phoebe relax into her body, causing a feeling of content to wash across Billie's whole body. Neither one was sure how long they had stayed in that position, but Billie knew she didn't want to move. She wanted to take full advantage of this moment, she wanted Phoebe to feel safe with her, she wanted her to feel at ease, to feel comfort in her arms, but she also loved the feeling of the brunette's body against her, the closeness, the warmth.

It was only when Paige returned did they break apart, but even then Phoebe kept a firm hand on the blonde's thigh, almost for reassurance that she was still there.

'They don't know anything,' sighed Paige falling back into one of the arm chairs, 'Do they ever have any clues about anything?...They just sit up there all high and mighty, leaving us to work it out on our own.'

Phoebe's head dropped in disappointment, causing Billie to grab her hand immediately and squeeze it tightly for reassurance.

The night went on, they had no leads, and the four witches were becoming increasingly agitated through the mix of stress and tiredness. There had been no sign of Cole again, but they had made some potions just in case, something to hold him off until they could figure out what they could do.

'I think it's best if everyone gets some rest.' Piper said finally. There was a unanimous nod across the room, as not one of the witches had the energy to argue. 'We have a few potions for now, a little defence until we can figure something out, tomorrow we'll start again, fresh minds might bring something new to light.' added the oldest sister with hope.

Paige and Piper headed off to their bedrooms, while it was agreed it was best for Phoebe and Billie to stay in the manor, and the two could share Phoebe's old room.

'I'm sorry for all of this trouble Billie,' Phoebe said as they pulled back the sheets to get into bed. Billie looked at the brunette with slight confusion, then a warm smile followed.

'Phoebe, I'm a witch too you know, I am use to all of this, late nights at the office.' She grinned. Phoebe smiled back, turning to lie on her side so she could face the blonde.

'I know, but with Cole being my ex-husband, he's a lot trickier to kill than he looks, as you can probably tell, because apparently we didn't vanquish him the last time! And all your assignments you have for the coming week, just feels unfair to you.'

Billie moved a little closer lifting her arm to stroke her hand across the brunette's arms soothingly. She beamed a smile her way before stating, 'Where's the fun in an easy vanquish?'

Both witches laughed a little, before silence fell over the house, and sleep engulfed them.

How was that? :)
