Chapter 2
"Commitments"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The next morning Phoebe rolled over, searching for Cole in the bed. Despite her fears and her insecurities, being with Cole always made her feel safe. But the moment she realized he wasn't in the bed with her, she panicked. She didn't know how to be alone in this world, which was new, strange and unknown for her. She sat up for a few minutes, and quickly made out the outline of Cole standing in the door, holding a tray of food with a rose in the middle.
He smiled at her and nodded, "Morning." he said, as he walked to her.
She smiled and sat up straight so that Cole could place the tray on her legs. He gently kissed her and stroked her hair, "how are you doing?" he asked.
Phoebe smiled and nodded, "You seem to make it better." She said kissing him back near his earlobe as she caught his scent. "Mmm... looks like some one just shaved and got a shower." She said capturing the smell of his 'men after shave lotion'. She always loved when he was flesh, just shaved.
"For you." He smiled and gently lifted up the glass of orange juice to his lips and nodded.
"What?" Phoebe asked noticing him starring at her, as she examined the red rose carefully.
"I'm just...I'm a little worried about this whole thing." he lightly replied looking at her. He still couldn't believe everything had gone way so far.
"Well...me too." Phoebe said, taking a bite of her toast. She just wanted to avoid the whole thing for the moment. "You look tired..." she started to avoid the subject.
He just looked down. "I'm just... worried, you know." He said. Truth he hadn't sleep at all the night before. After she had fallen asleep he just stayed there and watched her sleep all night long. He stayed watching her while thinking and reproaching to himself the fact that his Phoebe, the love of his life was going through all this and he couldn't do anything. It hurt him that she had to turn evil and he couldn't stop it. He had stayed awake in a chair beside the bed trying to figure out a way to stop everything and face the Source and for them to escape and be happy together finally. But it was an impossible.
"Cole, why didn't you take off your clothes and sleep with me last night?" she gently questioned. She had noticed it.
"I was... I was just thinking of a way. This has gone way so far, this is all a mess... I'm sorry I didn't find one. I failed you because somehow this is all my fault." He said sadly.
"No." Phoebe put her finger in his lips. "Don't say that, is not your fault ok?" she said.
He nodded, took her hand in his and kissed it. "Honey... all this will be incredibly hard...living down here is not like living up there." He said.
Phoebe smiled and nodded, looking at the luxurious bedroom, "Definitely not.." she said.
Cole chuckled and nodded, "You don't seem to understand, baby." He lightly insisted.
"Cole.." Phoebe said, before Cole could say anything, "I'm completely aware of what I'm doing, this is my choice and as long as I'm with you, I know I can go through with it. You're all I have left." She explained, "I know you'll always keep me safe." she said lightly.
Cole nodded and looked at her, and gently pressed his lips to hers, letting her know that he would NEVER go away. If Phoebe had had any worries before, she definitely didn't have them anymore, Cole was really everything she needed.
She gently pushed the tray off of herself, careful not to spill anything and to not separate herself from his lips, if she did, all the worries and doubts would definitely come back.
Suddenly they were interrupted by a knock on the door and they broke apart. "I'll get that." He offered and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before leaving the room.
Cole opened the door and a demon guard was there.
"The Source wants to see the witch." He said. Cole nodded and closed the door.
"Phoebe... we have to go." He softly said. "He wants to see you."
"Cole I'm scared." She said as she wrapped her arms around him.
"I'll be with you." He said as he kissed her hair, trying to convince her be to be confident when he was so scared as well.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"You do understand there's no way back, from now on you'll serve me." The Source stated
"I do." Phoebe accepted, "I only have one petition."
"You have no rights to ask for petitions."
"I think I do, after all I'm part of the most powerful force of good." She explained trying to sound strong even when she was showing subjection at being kneeled before him.
'Honey what the hell are you doing?.' Cole thought. Phoebe could be so impulsive and risky at times.
"I'm listening." The source led her to continue
"I want to insure my status among the demonic factions, after all I'm a Charmed One, and without me my sisters are sitting ducks anyway." Phoebe started. She had something in mind, if she was doing this; she wanted to make sure of a few things first.
"Even thought you're the one with the weakest passive powers, you might be right." The source considered. "And how do you think you can do that?." The Source challenged.
"Marrying an Upper Level demon." She just said as if it wasn't an important matter.
Cole was listening to the dialog but he didn't get it yet. He didn't understand why Phoebe...
"You can smell power I see." The Source said nothing for a while.
'Power... she wants power. Oh no she's already been corrupted by evil.' Cole thought, it was all his fault he felt.
"I have a better idea. You marry me, you'll become my Queen, Queen of the Underworld and you'll be even more respected and powerful." The Source proposed.
"NO!" Cole shouted. He would NEVER allow something like that.
"Of Course not. Let me handle this." Phoebe mouthed to Cole.
"I can't accept that." Phoebe turned to the Source again and firmly declined the offer.
"And what do you have in mind exactly?" He asked
"I want to marry Belthozar." She firmly stated.
Cole's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it. Why all of a sudden Phoebe said she wanted to marry him. He never thought about that. He knew he loved her, more than life itself, and what he wanted more than anything was to be with her. But still he was impressed. Marriage? He never saw himself married... he knew that probably someday he would have to access to an arranged marriage by convenience, but... he was really confused, why Phoebe was doing this?
"I'm sorry that can not be allowed." The Source completely refused.
"Why not?" Phoebe insisted.
"Because I don't want to." He replied, "Besides Belthozar is about to be judge for Betrayal."
"But that's not fair." Phoebe said
'Phoebe... please, don't get in more troubles' Cole thought.
The Source shook his head, "Do you think this is about being fair?"
"But Belthozar just got you a Charmed One to your side, doesn't that count in among to talk about forgiveness?" she stated
She was smarter than he thought. "Alright, there's not way back anyway. By this time the next Full Moon, you'll be commemorated as a demon, after that, you can marry Belthozar." He determinate as a plan started to form in his mind. "Now leave, the guards will led you to your new home. I want to have a little conversation with your husband to be." He said.
Phoebe nodded and left escorted by two guards.
"Well, well, well... so Belthozar..." The Source started and Cole just stayed unmoved and quite. "I know it wasn't your idea about this marriage thing. I can feel it... but I'll allow it." He said.
"Why?" Cole asked fearing what the Source could have planned.
"Because, I want her to turn Evil and to stick to it, and you could be the key for that." He replied.
"What do you mean?" Cole respectfully asked.
"I want you to bend her, lure her, entice her, to seduce her with evil, greed, power... that'll be your mission and you know I can make you do it." The Source said in a threaten tone. "Then, I have other plans for both of you."
Cole was frozen, he didn't know what to think, he was confused for the way the Source was leading things. He was supposed to trust the Source, but he couldn't find himself doing it, there was too much in risk.
"Do not look like that Belthozar." The Source ironically said. "I'll know the way to manage things."
Cole didn't know what to do. He only knew he had to take Phoebe out of there someway.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Phoebe was taken to an apartment. It wasn't as luxurious as Cole's but it was still fancy. There was a sitting room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom inside of it.
"This will be your new home, at least for now. You can find anything you might need inside of the closet. You can clean up, change and you have to dress fancy for tonight." The demon guard instructed.
"What is it with tonight?" she asked.
"There will be a ceremony...party I think you call it." He just replied and left.
Phoebe just starred around. She didn't know what to do, she just decided to wait for Cole.
Some hours later, he shimmered in.
"Cole..." she came over him and kissed him.
"This is what they got you?" he asked.
"Yes." She nodded. "What happened?" she asked concerned.
"Phoebe... you have to get out of here. It's pretty dangerous..." Cole started as he nervously stepped around.
"Cole..."
"No, Phoebe, I have to get you out of here. I'll get you out of here I-" he quickly spoke but she cut him.
"Cole... listen to me." Phoebe tried to get his attention.
"No, Phoebe you don't understand." He said, he had tears in his eyes.
"Cole... he said it, and he's right-"
"NO! he's not right, you can't be evil!" he protested.
"Look, there's no way back. If I escaped, they would go first to you and he would kill you... and even if it's not easy to leave my sisters, I can't let him kill you... I love you too much to let that happen." Phoebe explained.
"I love you too, that's why I want to get you out of here." Cole softly insisted.
"I already made a choice. Now tell me what happened when I left." She said as she rubbed his arm.
"For now, you have to dress for tonight. The Source wants to celebrate the triumph of gaining a Charmed One on his side." He said with a light of irony.
"Celebrate the triumph of gaining a Charmed One on his side? Are you kidding me? That's what the party is for? Come on..." she said while entering the bedroom. "He didn't really do anything." She complained.
"Well, you know he wants to impress the demonic factions and high elite, you know to win support." Cole said. "Politics' move."
"Great. So now I am an object used for demonic politics' practice?". She commented frustrated.
He followed her in the bedroom. "Phoebe... let's do it. I'll get you out of here before this goes farther." He said.
"No. It's too late. He would kill them or you." She said. "There's no way back." She said looking at him.
He knew this was unfair but he could see in her eyes that she was doing it for love. It was a release that at least she still loved him just like he loved her...but still he had these doubts and confusions in his mind... he still didn't understand something... Cole looked at Phoebe and wondered, what exactly had possessed her to tell the source she was going to marry him, and what exactly had possessed her to actually WANT to marry Cole. He still was shocked....
He walked up to her and tapped her shoulder, she turned around and smiled, "Phoebe..."
"Yeah?" she asked.
"There's something I want to ask you..." he started and she nodded. "Why did you tell the Source you wanted to marry me?" he asked softly.
"Cause...I do..." she said looking at him a bit frightened, what if he didn't want to marry her?
He looked at her and nodded, "I mean, don't get me wrong..." he began, as if he had read her mind, "I love you...but I just...I don't understand how that makes things easier, and not to mention I've never pictured myself married, I mean...I'm a demon." He said, looking down at the floor.
"I thought demons got married..." she threw.
"They do..." Cole affirmed.
Phoebe looked at him and nodded, "But if you don't want to marry me..." she said with disappointment, maybe she had made a wrong move, but he cut her off.
"I didn't say that." He said, "I just want to know how that makes things easier." he said.
Phoebe looked at him and sighed, "Because if I'm doing this... stay here, and my life is changing outside around, and never be in my world or be with my family again, at least... I want to have the release I'll have you with me. And I want to make sure of that." She said. "It makes things easier because we would be together." she sincerely said, almost sadly.
After this, he was speechless; he didn't know what to say, what could he say after all this anyway? He felt silly and stupid. 'Great done, you fool...' he snapped to himself mentally. Of course he wanted to do this.
He kept looking at her, trying to read her expression and mostly her heart and smiled, "It's settled then... you and me... get married, just because." He said, as he gently kissed her. "We'll be together."
"Really? Are you sure?" she said.
"More than anything." He replied. She then broke apart.
"So... who exactly will be at this party?" she asked making chattering.
"All the Elite of Upper level demons, the high members from the Brotherhood and The Source, of course." He said.
"Oh great. It'll be so funny." She sarcastically complained.
"Phoebe... we still have a chance, I'll get you out of here." He proposed one more time.
Phoebe just shook her head again, "We already talked about this. I already told you. I can NOT do that."
"You're so stubborn." He said as he sat on the bed.
She ignored it. "Please, don't go away. I'll take a shower, I didn't want to shower when I was by myself, I was scared of someone getting in." she said and he nodded, sat arms crossed on the bed. He was kinda mad, because he didn't want her to do this.
Some minutes later, she got out of her shower and had taken a look on her new wardrobe. She just put on underwear and came pissed to the vanity in the bedroom.
"What is it with demons and black outfits?" she asked almost mad.
Cole just stared at her. "Everything in that damn wardrobe is black!." She complained. "Even the underwear is all black." She added.
Cole just eyed her well. He stood up from the bed and came to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered. "I have no complains at all about black lingerie." He seductively whispered in her ear. "Actually I can grow fonder to it." He added making her blush. It was incredible the way she still could blush at him. He gently slipped his hands down her waist, and she moaned slightly, pulling him closer. She smiled and let him bury his head in her neck; licking her ever so softly, but with the right amount of pressure to ignite every bit of her body. She could feel his hardness pressing onto her, and that could have never excited her more, she wanted this so badly, she just needed him, right then and there but she also knew they couldn't, not there, not now. She had to get ready, and as much as she wanted this, she just couldn't let him. She pushed away from him and shook her head in letting him know they couldn't in that moment.
"I know." he said, passing a hand through his hair.
Phoebe sighed heavily, and nodded. "You got me all riled up." She said playfully, as she picked up the dress and slipped it on.
Cole smiled and nodded, "Tell me about it." he sad, looking down at himself, in awe at fast he had risen.
"Could you please...." she asked for him to zip up the dress in her back
He took the zipper and kissed her back instead of zip it. He made a line of light kisses from down in her back till he reached her neck. Her skin was so sweet and soft that he couldn't stop kissing it. She almost regretted her early words, but they had to stop.
She gently hit him, playfully and smiled, "Not now, really."
She felt his disappointment, he sighed and zipped the dress.
"I better go get ready for this thing." he said, pushing the lustful thoughts of Phoebe out of mind and smiling, "oh, wait... there's something we have to do first." He said. "I need some of your blood."
"What for?" she asked.
"I'll cast a protective spell on the room, so no magic can get in, just yours." He explained. "I did the same in my room."
Phoebe nodded and gave him her hand. He took it and cut her finger and led the blood to a bowl. Then he put his lips on the finger and kissed it. She smiled.
"You'll be the only one who can get in here." He informed. "Would you mind if I borrow some of your blood and take it to my place." He asked
"What for?" she questioned again.
"To do the same in my room, you'll be the only other person who'll be able to get in." he explained.
"Of course." She nodded.
"Ok, I'm ready to cast the spell." He said, closed his eyes and started chanting.
"Wait..."she said. He starred at her with a 'what' look. She took the athame and took his hand. "I want you to be able to get in here whenever you want." She said and he smiled. She took his blood and led it to the bowl; so he chanted the spell.
After that, Phoebe sat in his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck, "You know, in the human ways, we just changed the keys of our apartments." She said and they kissed.
"Ok, I have to go to my place... to get dressed." He said as he broke apart.
"Wait... you are not thinking in leaving me here by myself are you?" she fearfully asked. She really was scared this place, she didn't know what to do without him.
"Phoebe, I'll just go, change and I'll be here in no time." He said.
"Hold on..." she went and took a pair of black high heels shoes, a little black purse, the make up set and the dryer and then hold tight to him. "Ok, take me with you, I'll finish my hair and make up while you get ready." She said
He didn't argue and shimmered out to his place.

"Great. So now I am an object used for demonic politics' practice?". She commented frustrated.

"Really? Are you sure?" she said.
"More than anything." He replied. She then broke apart.
"So... who exactly will be at this party?" she asked making chattering.
"All the Elite of Upper level demons, the high members from the Brotherhood and The Source, of course." He said.
"Oh great. It'll be so funny." She sarcastically complained.
"Phoebe... we still have a chance, I'll get you out of here." He proposed one more time.
Phoebe just shook her head again, "We already talked about this. I already told you. I can NOT do that."
"You're so stubborn." He said as he sat on the bed.
She ignored it. "Please, don't go away. I'll take a shower, I didn't want to shower when I was by myself, I was scared of someone getting in." she said and he nodded, sat arms crossed on the bed. He was kinda mad, because he didn't want her to do this.
Some minutes later, she got out of her shower and had taken a look on her new wardrobe. She just put on underwear and came pissed to the vanity in the bedroom.
"What is it with demons and black outfits?" she asked almost mad.
Cole just stared at her. "Everything in that damn wardrobe is black!." She complained. "Even the underwear is all black." She added.
Cole just eyed her well. He stood up from the bed and came to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered. "I have no complains at all about black lingerie." He seductively whispered in her ear. "Actually I can grow fonder to it." He added making her blush. It was incredible the way she still could blush at him. He gently slipped his hands down her waist, and she moaned slightly, pulling him closer. She smiled and let him bury his head in her neck; licking her ever so softly, but with the right amount of pressure to ignite every bit of her body. She could feel his hardness pressing onto her, and that could have never excited her more, she wanted this so badly, she just needed him, right then and there but she also knew they couldn't, not there, not now. She had to get ready, and as much as she wanted this, she just couldn't let him. She pushed away from him and shook her head in letting him know they couldn't in that moment.
"I know." he said, passing a hand through his hair.
Phoebe sighed heavily, and nodded. "You got me all riled up." She said playfully, as she picked up the dress and slipped it on.
Cole smiled and nodded, "Tell me about it." he sad, looking down at himself, in awe at fast he had risen.
"Could you please...." she asked for him to zip up the dress in her back
He took the zipper and kissed her back instead of zip it. He made a line of light kisses from down in her back till he reached her neck. Her skin was so sweet and soft that he couldn't stop kissing it. She almost regretted her early words, but they had to stop.
She gently hit him, playfully and smiled, "Not now, really."
She felt his disappointment, he sighed and zipped the dress.
"I better go get ready for this thing." he said, pushing the lustful thoughts of Phoebe out of mind and smiling, "oh, wait... there's something we have to do first." He said. "I need some of your blood."
"What for?" she asked.
"I'll cast a protective spell on the room, so no magic can get in, just yours." He explained. "I did the same in my room."
Phoebe nodded and gave him her hand. He took it and cut her finger and led the blood to a bowl. Then he put his lips on the finger and kissed it. She smiled.
"You'll be the only one who can get in here." He informed. "Would you mind if I borrow some of your blood and take it to my place." He asked
"What for?" she questioned again.
"To do the same in my room, you'll be the only other person who'll be able to get in." he explained.
"Of course." She nodded.
"Ok, I'm ready to cast the spell." He said, closed his eyes and started chanting.
"Wait..."she said. He starred at her with a 'what' look. She took the athame and took his hand. "I want you to be able to get in here whenever you want." She said and he smiled. She took his blood and led it to the bowl; so he chanted the spell.
After that, Phoebe sat in his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck, "You know, in the human ways, we just changed the keys of our apartments." She said and they kissed.
"Ok, I have to go to my place... to get dressed." He said as he broke apart.
"Wait... you are not thinking in leaving me here by myself are you?" she fearfully asked. She really was scared this place, she didn't know what to do without him.
"Phoebe, I'll just go, change and I'll be here in no time." He said.
"Hold on..." she went and took a pair of black high heels shoes, a little black purse, the make up set and the dryer and then hold tight to him. "Ok, take me with you, I'll finish my hair and make up while you get ready." She said
He didn't argue and shimmered out to his place.
