As the rage consumed him he changed into Belthazor, only to quickly change back as the sorrow to his human heart won out.

He starred in despair at the sea of red, surrounding him. Reaching over the side he placed his hand lightly to the gentle lapping surface of the water. Closing his eyes he envisioned her smile and the happy times that they had shared in the short time he had known her.

"I'll always love you." He whispered as the tears ran down his face and fell into the blood red waters. Joining them as one for one final time.

He sat there starring at the blood just watching it. He was frozen in place as he watched it slowly dissipate into nothing. Washed out forever to the ocean, carrying with it the one true person that loved him for who he was. Leaving only a slight pink sheen to the surface, evidence of natures dangers.

His thoughts of despair were brought out as he listened to Keba bark. It was a bark of fear and sorrow. Keba knew that her friend was lost. As Cole turned to the dog he knew what he had to do. Standing up he bent down to pick up Keba only to have her bite him.

"OOWWWW!! Ok dog you may not know me but I can't leave you here. So you'll just have to learn to like me for a split second." Cole said as he once again reached down to Keba. Only his time she did not react yet only to growl at him.

As he shimmered out he dreaded what he had to do next. As much as this was tearing him apart inside, he knew that this would be ten times worse for Piper. First Prue and now Phoebe. That was more then anyone should have to handle in one day. And that was not even thinking about what and where was Leo.


Piper sat on the couch nervous and scared. She didn't care at that point about her stings along her body. She just wanted to make sure that Phoebe was safe. She thought of Prue and the tears filled her eyes. How could she be gone? After everything that they had endured the past five weeks, she was just lost to the sea, due to her weakness of not being able to swim.

Mary came down the stairs and saw Piper crying on the couch. She was bent over her knees, hiding her face from the world. She knew that she had gone through a lot in the last little while but she had a feeling that this was something else. Something larger then even she had gone through. She heard her when Belthazor was there, about her sister on the raft and seeing the shark. The thought scared her and she didn't even now the woman in danger. "Piper." She said softly

Receiving no answer she went to the fallen girl. Lightly touching her shoulder she gently rubbed it. "I have something for your stings Piper." She said

Piper never responded as she thought of her sisters. One lost forever and the other she still didn't know. "What's taking him so long?' she asked innocently as she rubbed her arms

Reaching over she applied the cream to Pipers arms, "He'll be back." She said. She wasn't sure if she was trying to convince Piper or herself.

Piper just sat there, letting Mary apply the cream she had. "She's dead."

"No she's not. He'll get her."

"No. Not Phoebe; Prue. She's gone."

"Prue? She your sister too?"

"Yeah. But she drowned." Piper said quietly between the tears.

Mary looked down to the young witch in front of her, "I'm sorry. I know what it is like to lose someone you love. I lost my brother many years ago."

She was just about to explain to Piper her similar feelings, when she saw the air out of the corner of her eye start to quiver. Under normal circumstances she would have been alert to this kind of movement, but she knew who it was.

Cole shimmered back into Mary's place carrying Keba, dreading what he was about to do as the tears once again ran freely down his face.

Piper saw the air distort to her left. Knowing that it was Cole she waited impatiently for her sisters arms to hold her. Letting her know that it would all be right again.

As he materialized, with his back to her, she knew right then that something was wrong. He just stood there a minute before bending down and letting Keba from his arms. He was afraid to turn and face her but he knew he had to.

"Cole?" Piper looked at him, before he turned around

Letting Keba from his arms she immediately ran to Piper. Jumping up to her she curled herself around her legs. As Piper watched Cole she was scared. He had brought back Keba but he did not shimmer out as if to return for Phoebe.

Cole tried to hold in the tears but he couldn't and he knew that as soon as he saw Piper he would release them again. He turned slowly and their eyes met. As the tears welled in his eyes he tried to blink them away, but he couldn't he just starred at Piper, he couldn't say anything.

Piper watched helplessly as Cole turned slowly. Their eyes met and all she saw was the tears escaping the over flowing well that had pooled in his eyes. She knew what had happened but she needed to hear it. But she didn't want him to say the words. First Prue and now Phoebe, what would she do?

"Piper. I…" he couldn't say it. He had lost the one person that ever loved him, and he loved in return. He didn't know how to go on with out her. "I'm sorry." He finally whispered out.

Piper just starred at him as the tears came freely. She couldn't move, she couldn't process anything at that moment. She watched as Cole almost collapsed to the floor burying his head in his hand and cried for his true love: her sister.

Mary watched the scene unfold in front of her. She watched has Piper seemed to read exactly what Cole was thinking in the short time that he had been there. She also knew what had happened and felt the loss of the woman she didn't know.

Though what really surprised her was Cole. He had fallen to his knee, with his head buried as the tears and sobs cried out of him. She had never seen him like that. Even in the years that she had come to know him, come to love him. She realized at the moment that Leo was right: Cole had turned. And it was all because of the love of a woman: his soul mate.

Piper felt this huge weight sitting in the spot where her heart was. It hurt to even think about it at first, and when she did, she felt like it would never end. That she would never be able to feel anything again. Both her sisters where gone. She was alone.

Cole had cried so much he had no tears left to cry. He just sat on the floor looking at his hands. He felt as if someone had ripped his heart out. He looked up to Mary and caught her gaze at him. He knew then that she understood, that he was no longer the demon that she knew and had turned against them. He realized then that as much as he was hurting inside that he had to be there for Piper. She had just lost two sisters in less then an hour.


"He's gonna be very angry."

"He should be glad."

"The middle one got away, in case you forgot that."

"True and she may help lead us to the traitor but he will be very happy about the outcome of the youngest."

"You tell him then." He said as he turned and walked away from the other, "It's your funeral."

"No actually it would be hers." He laughed a deep evil laugh.


Piper watched through her own tears and the man before her. Gathering her strength she got up and went to him. Resting her hand on his shoulder letting him know she was there and hurting as well.

Cole slowly stood up and stood next to Piper. Pulling her close to him he just held her as she cried for her lose. He felt her pain but he also knew that she was suffering the loss of two people, and him only the one.

As she cried into his chest her thoughts turned to another she held dear. She knew that Leo would not be far behind Cole. If Cole had located them why hadn't Leo?

"Cole?" She whispered to him though not moving

"Yeah." He answered not looking at her.

"Where's Leo?"

Cole looked down at her, she wasn't looking at him and for that he was thankful. He now had to add to her burden and tell her that her Whitelighter husband was now in the hands of Demons.

He had paused long enough to cause her concern. She tilted her head up to look in his eyes. She could still see the redness and swelling from his crying, but she was thankful that he was there for her now. At least she had someone. She wanted to offer him some comfort for he too had lost Phoebe. But she could tell that he was hiding something

"Cole, where is he?" she pleaded

Taking in a deep breath he looked her straight in the eyes, "He was captured by some demons that attacked us."

Piper starred at Cole in disbelief. She knew what would happen if Leo was ever caught by a demon. They would kill him. She could feel her legs get weaker as her world went black.
