A/N: Thank you for the reviews.
Here's another chapter (I know, I'm updating fast). I have to explain to you, guys, that when I started to post this story, I had sixteen chapters written (in Portuguese). I just translated them. I had this story all planned. I just changed some things, because of your reviews. I learned so much written this and you are so receptive that I will give to you guys the end you asked me. That's my way to say thank you.
This chapter will be a bit more somber. Ranya finally will confront Phoebe and she won't be so understanding when she finds out what the Charmed One did to Cole at the mausoleum.
She wolf
"C'mon, Phoebe... We need to be fast", Kaliel said, entering the dark room.
"What are you talking about?", Phoebe asked, as she stood up.
"I'll take you out of here...", Kaliel held out his hands to her.
"But... and Cole?", she asked, frowning.
"Cole's doing a stupid thing, he made a deal with Despina for your freedom", Kaliel explained to her.
It took only a few seconds for Phoebe understand what Kaliel was saying. "No... Cole... I have to do something...", she whispered.
"We don't have much time... Take my hand, before I regret it", she said softly.
Phoebe nodded. She took Kaliel's hand and he faded them out of there.
They appeared on the manor. To Phoebe's surprise, she find Ranya there. She was with her sisters and Jack, the new Whitelighter, trying to understand what happened to her and Cole.
"Phoebe!", her sisters hugged her fondly. "We are so worried...", Piper said, with tears in her eyes.
"Kaliel!", Ranya said in anger, pointing her weapon at him.
"No, Ranya, wait! He helped me to escape! I know it's hard to believe that, but he's good now", Phoebe put herself between the guardian and Kaliel.
Ranya noticed the bruises on Phoebe's body: "What happened to you?", she asked nervously. "Where's Cole?".
"He's alive, but he's with Despina now. I couldn't help him...", Kaliel honestly said.
Ranya felt her blood turned into ice. "He's with Despina...", she whispered. "How it happened?", she asked out loud, looking angrily at Phoebe.
"It was my fault, Ranya... And I'm sorry...", Phoebe said, blushing a little.
"We don't have time for this", Kaliel put his hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "My que... Despina took Erebus powers. She was completely delusional. We need to stop her".
"We? What are you planning, Kaliel? I don't trust you...", Ranya raised an eyebrow.
"A long time ago I made a mistake, Ranya... Let me help you and who knows find some peace on mind", he said, raising his head.
Ranya nodded. "If you're lying to me, I'll destroy you...", she said coldly.
"I would not expect less from you...", he glanced at her.
Jack approached Phoebe and healed her, as Paige asked to Kaliel: "You said that she has Erebus powers?".
"Yes, she stole them in the river Styx", Kaliel said coldly.
Ranya looking at him terrified. Despina would be very powerful now.
"Erebus, the Greek God", Paige smiled. She had a simple idea which would save them: "Ranya, there's a spell we used on the past to remove Gods from mortals. We can work on it to remove Erebus powers from Despina!".
"Are you sure?", the guardian asked, skeptically.
Paige rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm sure. Piper, you come with me to the Magic School. You guys hang on!".
"Paige, wait... I want...", Phoebe started to say, but Paige and Piper orbed out of there.
"She's very impulsive...", Jack remarked.
"Do you think this can work?", Kaliel asked to Ranya.
Ranya raised an eyebrow, she still didn't trust him: "I have no idea, Kaliel. But we have to wait... Jack, do me a favor, orb to Adila and explain what happened to the High Council...".
"Me?", the Whitelighter asked in surprise.
"Yes, you", she said firmly, before turned to Phoebe: "I need to have a little talk with Miss Halliwell. Alone"
Jack nodded and orbed out of there. Kaliel stepped back, seeing Ranya's expression: "I'll wait outside".
"Good idea", she had fire in her eyes, seeing he leaved the place.
"Ranya, I...", Phoebe tried to explain herself, when Ranya pushed her against the wall.
"Now, you'll explain to me what really happened. So why is this your fault?", Ranya asked angrily.
"I... never...", Phoebe found no words to explain what happened at the mausoleum.
"Spilled it, Phoebe! Your sister told me everything! I know that you're obsessed with Cole... That you were trying to convince him to come back to you and couldn't deal with his rejection. She even confessed me that you used the Mirror of Fate to spy on him like a pervert! So tell me now, how my husband ended up as prisoner in the Land of the Shadows?", Ranya clenched her fists.
Phoebe gasped. She needed to take the responsibility for her mistake. "I tried to convince Cole that we belong together, but he reject me... I was blind and I couldn't accept that. So I went to the old mausoleum and... I summoned him... again. But this time I made a crystal cage to guarantee that he would listen to me... I trapped him there. You need to understand that I wasn't think clear...".
"Continue...", Ranya crossed her arms.
"But he rejected me again. He denied his love for me. But I prepared myself for that. I had a potion in my pocket and I throw it at him... It was when Despina appeared...", Phoebe was breathing heavily, remembering her terrible mistake.
"What kind of potion?", Ranya asked, trying to calm down.
"I thought... thought... that I could use the potion to make him remember his love for me... The potion... I'm sorry...", Phoebe didn't want to confess that. It was too embarrassed for her to say that.
"I had the right to know what this potion did to him", at this point Ranya was almost losing control.
Phoebe took a deep breath and looked at the floor, before explained: "He would do everything I wanted under the potion's influence. I missed him so much... I wanted him... I wanted him in my arms again. And I thought that if I could, even it's only just for a couple of hours, make him accept me, he would remember our love...".
Ranya's eyes became very somber, when she understood the meaning of that: "Are you telling me that you trapped him at an old mausoleum and throw a potion at him, so you could... you could rape him?", she asked completely disgusted.
Phoebe felt offended: "What? No... No... That wasn't what happened... I love him... I knew that he wanted me too. He just wasn't accepting that... But you need to know that I stopped. I couldn't do this. I love Cole, Ranya. I really love him".
The guardian started to laugh: "Oh, you stopped... You're so good person... Do you love him? Since when? When you kill him because he was possessed? When you treated him like trash? No, of course not. You proved your love for him, trapping him against his will and trying... how can I say that, without offend you.. to force him to accept your love...", Ranya pushed Phoebe again and she fell on the floor.
"I'm really sorry for that...", Phoebe said with tears on her face.
"Feel sorry don't change the fact that Cole was trapped because of you!", Ranya grabbed her by the hair: "You listen to me, if something happen to Cole, I swear, I'll kill you... You are a selfish and arrogant bitch who thinks that everything is all about you. You took advantage of the good feelings of Cole and put him in this situation. But you don't fool me... When this battle is over, you'll stay away from him, Phoebe... Because if you stalk my husband again, I will make you regret having come back home!", she said, pushing Phoebe against the floor again.
"Ranya... I'm sorry", Phoebe was crying as Ranya faded out.
I'm sorry.
