Chapter 10
Cole entered Dezax's chambers.
"What's the emergency?" asked Cole.
"I need a sacrifice" said Dezax.
"Ok" said Cole.
"That whitelighter will make the perfect one" said Dezax smiling.
"Don't we need her for our plan" said Cole.
Dezax shook her head.
"But if you like the twit" said Dezax.
"No" shouted Cole. "I'm just saying that killing her would be a mistake"
"Well I suggest you get me a sacrifice" said Dezax.
"It will be done" said Cole.
"You can't do this" said Paige.
Cole paced in the living room.
"I don't have a choice" said Cole.
"So you are going to deliver him an innocent" said Paige angrily.
They both glared at eachother.
"You are such a Halliwell" muttered Cole.
"And you are such a demon" retorted Paige. She stopped talking. Cole laughed.
"This was such a bad idea" said Cole. "We are never going to like eachother. You don't know anything about me. The only person who knows me is Phoebe, but I don't think so anymore"
"She doesn't love you" cried Paige. "She's over you and she's dating now"
Cole looked at her angrily. "You know Paige you and your sisters preach about saving innocents and you will go out of your way to save strangers, but I was apart of your family and when I needed you the most you guys turned your back"
"That's not fair Cole" said Paige calmly. "We didn't know."
"and didn't try to find out" said Cole. "You killed me. My human self was stuck in the wasteland for months"
"I'm sorry" said Paige. "I should've trusted my instincts to find out what happened. Instead of trying to find out why you were so differently after we vanquished The Source. I was trying to get you out of the family"
"Why?" asked Cole. "Not to sound rude, but I was there for a year before you came along. Phoebe and I went through hell and back to get the happiness we deserved"
"I guess I was scared because of your past" said Paige. "It was hard being a witch and having a demon in the house after seeing what you could do"
"I can be pretty scary" said Cole smirking.
Paige smiled. "I feel lots better"
Cole softened. "You know what, so do I"
"Everything had to be aired out" said Paige. "Cole your not going to use an innocent. Your going to use me"
"No Paige" said Cole.
"Yes Cole" said Paige. "We are going to use me as bait. I'm sure you'll find a way to make this work, but I don't want to know about it. The less I know the better"
With that she entered the bedroom leaving Cole to think.
Next Night- Coronation
Demons piled into a room excited. Cole helped Dezax put on his robe.
"Do you have my sacrifice?" asked Dezax seriously.
"Yes" said Cole.
"Where's the dark priest?" asked Dezax to his guard.
"Awaiting you" answered the guard bowing.
"Are you ready?" asked Dezax.
Cole nodded. They left together and entered a huge room where demons were talking excitedly. Cole took his place, so everyone was quiet. Cole nervously watched as Dezax made his way to the alter. Demons bowed as he passed them. Dezax stepped up to the alter.
"Where's my sacrifice?" asked Dezax.
Cole waved his hand and Paige appeared tied and gagged.
"Changed your mind?" asked Dezax.
"Well she was bothering me" said Cole. "Plus you and me together can take down The Elders"
"Good choice" said Dezax. He looked at Paige who was squirming. "Untie her legs only"
A guard stepped toward Paige and cut of the ropes on her legs. Paige kicked the demon to the ground.
"Feisty one" said Dezax. He propped Paige up and held out his hand. The dark priest opened a box, which contained an athame. Cole and Paige looked at eachother. Dezax raised the athame.
"I will be the second demon to kill a Charmed One" said Dezax. "And will lead my people into power"
The demons cheered. Cole saw Dezax place the athame on Paige's neck. Paige cried. Cole didn't move, no emotion on his face. Everything happened in slow motion. Dezax swiftly cut Paige's neck. Blood tricked down her neck and Cole turned away as her body dropped to the ground. Dezax handed the bloody athame to the dark priest. Cole tightened his fist as he saw Paige's blood forming a puddle. He looked at her. She was pale and her lips were turning blue. Cole shot a huge fireball at the dark priest. He erupted in flames. Dezax turned around and looked at Cole shockingly. Cole punched Dezax knocking him down. Cole was shooting fireballs everywhere. A lot of demons erupted in flames. It was a blood bath. Cole picked up Paige and placed her in a corner. Chaos was going on. Dezax looked at Cole angrily.
"Once a trader" said Dezax. "Always a trader"
They fought. Dezax kicked Cole in the groin. He fell over and Dezax kicked his chest furiously. Cole grabbed his leg and Dezax fell on the ground. They both spotted an athame. Cole pulled Dezax away and slammed him into the wall. They both were bloody and bruised. Cole fell to the ground. Dezax was choking him and Cole was very weak and drained. Dezax took the athame and stabbed Cole on the side. Cole screamed and pulled it out from his side. Dezax cried out as Cole put it through his heart. Blood trickled from his mouth. Dezax smiled.
"Good job, brother" coughed out Dezax. With that he exploded in flames. Cole let himself go. His last thoughts were not on Phoebe. but on Paige.
Cole woke up on his bed. He was at the apartment. His body was bandaged up. He still ached and he looked to his side. A bloody washcloth sat in a bowl of water. The bedroom door opened and in came Paige Matthews. She was perfectly fine and her neck was fine. She ran to his side.
"Your awake" said Paige. "You've been out for 24 hours"
"That long" said Cole.
"Your not superman" said Paige. "You need to heal and rest. You killed Dezax and I used memory powder on the demons that knew about us. Thank you"
"For what?" asked Cole.
"For enhancing my healing powers" said Paige. "If it wasn't for you I would be dead, once again"
Cole sat up. "I wasn't going to just let you die"
They looked into each other's eyes.
"And why is that?" asked Paige with tears in her eyes.
Her hand touched his. They both looked down and Cole lifted up Paige's face.
"I think we both know what is happening" said Cole.
Paige kissed Cole passionately. Both of their tears joined together. Cole ignored the pain shooting through his body. Paige healed the inside of him and tomorrow morning she will heal the outside.
Next afternoon
Paige orbed in the kitchen. Phoebe was typing on her laptop. She saw Paige and jumped up.
"Paige" cried Phoebe.
They hugged.
"Where is everyone?" asked Paige.
"At P3" said Phoebe happily. "We really missed you"
"I did too" said Paige.
"How was training?" asked Phoebe.
"Breathtaking" said Paige as she thought of Cole.
