Chapter 22
Phoebe
I felt horrible about keeping another secret from my sisters. I didn't know when I would tell them. Probably when I got back home. They would be wondering how a half demon and as far as they knew a full-blooded witch could have the same blood type. When the nurse took my blood, it was painful, but I lived with it. I would do anything for Cole. It is hard to explain but, when you love some one so much, you just feel that way. The nurse bandaged up my arm and told me to wait in the hall while they gave Cole the blood. A little while later she came back out of Cole's room followed by Cole himself. "Cole!" I said running to him, "Are you okay? Can we go home now?" "He's all stitched up and will be fine in a few days or so. The doctors are letting him go home now. You can check out at the front desk." We started to walk to the elevator and Cole said, "I doubt we'll be able to go back to your house." "Cole we will have to some day. Why not today?" I asked him. "They must blame me for everything Phoebe! I'm just happy a made it through that." We entered the elevator and I pressed the button for the ground floor. "I'm glad you didn't change into Balthazor." "So am I." he said but then stopped and changed the subject to one I particularly liked, "Phoebe, how could you have given me blood?" "Cole. That's something I have to tell you. But, not now, when we're with my sisters. It's a family thing." "I'm part of the family now?" "Well, Cole, we've shared love, secrets, run aways, and now blood. What else is there except family?" The elevator stopped and we both stepped out. Cole had never answered me. We both were silent while checking out and going outside. Cole broke the silence, "Phoebe." he said, and "We don't have a Car." I started laughing, "It looks like we'll have a long walk." Prue "Oh! Oh! Oh!" I started saying as I used my powers to throw the demon out of the window. Piper froze him and shouted, "What are we going to do?! We don't have Phoebe. We don't have L-L-Leo..." then she broke down into tears again. I went over and patted her shoulders, "Piper it will all be okay. Trust me, I know Leo will come back. I don't think that even 'they' can tamper with true love. Which is what you and Leo have. What I wished I had AND what Phoebe and Cole definitely don't have."
Chapter 23
Cole
We had been walking for a while. It was really dark outside and we were talking about little things. Trying to get to know each other better. I liked that; it was almost like we were normal people. Then Phoebe said, "Don't get me wrong, Cole, but couldn't we just shimmer back to the house?" "We could. But, I rather like walking and talking with you. It's normal." I told her. "That's true." she said. I wanted to bring up why she and I shared the same blood type but I knew she wouldn't tell me unless we were with her sisters. "Phoebe?" I asked, "Do you have a watch on?" "Yeah." she looked at the gold link timepiece on her wrist, "It's 2:00." her expression became bewildered, "2:00 in the morning! I knew it was really dark out, I though that it might have been 11!" "Well, Phoebe, we have been walking for a while, we left the hospital at 10:00, and the hospital is pretty far away from your house." I said being logical. "Cole. We have to shimmer back. If we're not there in the morning they might think that we've run away!" "Your wish, my command." I said smirking. I held my arm out for her to stand next to me and I could then wrap my arm around her. "Oh, don't go there Cole. We've had a bad experience with genies." I was curious and asked, "When did you encounter a genie?" "About a month or two before the triad sent you." "Oh, Phoebe don't you go there. I don't want to talk about my past." She stepped into my arm and I held her. I looked around to make sure no crazy person who was up at two in the morning could see us. We then shimmered into her room. "Being suggestive Cole?" Phoebe said smiling. "Phoebe..." I groaned, "What was I going to do? Blink into Prue or Piper's room? Blink into a room that they could be in? I don't want to run into them." "Okay, okay, you win." she said and climbed into the bed. She yawned and said, "I'm tired."
In the morning we awoke to some crashes. "What was that?" I asked. "I don't know." she told me. She threw on a robe and I just kept on the clothes I had been wearing yesterday and all night. We ran downstairs to see Prue and Piper with the hideous demon, as they had kept calling it.
Leo
I woke up, at first not knowing where I was. Then I remembered what had happened and I was upset all over again.
"I hate this." I said out loud to the empty room. I sat up in his bed and looked around. Empty walls, the bed he was on with white covers, a white desk with a single white lamp on top of it. I hated it, everything was so white, and plain. After all, he figured that his bosses wouldn't be such good home decorators anyway. I got up changed into his white lighter robes and walked outside. *I guess I should go to them, see if he could change their minds. * He walked down the path, in the white area on his way. *What's that? * He thought to himself, something was nudging him in his pocket. Pulling it out he realized that they hadn't taken away his wallet. Opening it, he saw a picture of him and Piper and a tear fell down his cheek. *Stay Strong! * He thought to himself and he put the wallet back into his pocket and kept walking.
