Chapter 3

Phoebe pulls in to the driveway turns the key and puts her head on the steeringwheel. Finally she just lets the tears roll down that had threatened to fall all the way home.

"God let them be okay". She sighed. She gets out of the car and drags her self op the stairs.

________

Strange the door was open. It was not like piper to not the door as a matter of fact piper was the only whom ever locked the door. Her self and prue never saw the use of it . piper on the other hand had said that it was the small things that made her life normal. Well nothing normal today. "Please don't let there be demon or warlock in there we really can not use them today " !!! as she walks in to the house ready to attack whatever or whom ever was there. She even felt sorry for them because in the state she was right now he or it was going to get a really ass kicking. She can hear pots and pans ratteling in the kitchen. Great a demon who can cook that's all I need. She qiuetly walks to the hall closet. To take out the baseball bat that was stored in there. It was kept there for just this reason the girls never played the game anymore since they had found out phoebe had killed a baseball player in the future the apeel of the game was gone after that. Armed with the baseball bat Phoebe jumps in to the kitchen.

Cole drops the pot he was holding in to the sink with a clatter. When the door hits the back of the wall startteled he turns around.

"Phoebe what the hell". He says as he looks at her.

"OH cole ". As a crying phoebe throws herself in to his arms. "Thank god ". She sobs. "Phoebe baby what's the matter ". Cole asked concern written all aver his face. "what happened to you" Phoebe tries to talk . but all Cole can hear are sobs and a few words that don't same to make much sense right now. She looked liked someone had torn her heart out. It was making him scared it seemed as if she was never going to stop. "And we where laughing". Sobs. "And piper said we should help". Another sob. "But I had to go". Sob. "And she was so mad". And then there was all the blood there was so much of it". Another sob escapes form the shaking body .

"Who's blood sweetie. He asks now really getting worried. But it seems like phoebe can't even hear him. "And in the hospital broken arm,ribs,and so many bruises O God" and piper is so mad she is so mad cole'. She blames me.

________

"What " cole doesn't understand who had been hurt was it piper or was it prue. He had to get her to calm down to get the whole story all he could think was what ever had happened it was big and it was bad. "okay honey you have to calm down "come and sit down". As he pulls her over to the table and on to his lap. She looked so pale and white it scared him. What the hell had happened to put her in this state he wondered.

"Okay pumkin "I know that this is very hard for you but you have to tell me what happened. Phoebe tries to smile. She was so happy that he was here. She wipes her nose on the back of her hand. As she tries to calm her self down. Slowly she tells Cole what had transpired that day. Tears falling down her cheeks. "And now Piper blames me and Leo and no doubt the elders phoebe finishes the dried up tears being replaced with fresh once. "Cole she looked at me with so much hate I was scared". I have never been scared of piper before she was always the calm one the sensetive one the one who would stay calm as everything fell apart".

___________

Cole looked at her he now was suppose to give some words of wisdom and he was going to ,but he could not believe that piper could be that cruel. As a matter of fact he had always liked piper better of phoebe's two sisters. Piper was a lot like phoebe but had just enough of prue in her to balance it out. "honey I don't know why, she lashed out at you". "But I do under stand how she may feel". "She has been shocked in her believes". "Prue has always been the strong one the protector". "You the take charge one and piper the calm and relaxed one". Now that prue has been hurt the strong one the protector piper does not know where she fits in anymore and with you not doing anything this morning the role of the take charge one was gone to. So by not doing anything this morning you failed in pipers eyes" not "that you have. But that is the way she sees it now and she needs to figure out what to do now. Take the role as the protector or the role of the one that takes charge of everything. Not that you have done anything wrong it is just the way piper sees it now. And I think that we have to give her time to do so. "Maybe she is right cole maybe we should have done more to stop prue this morning". " Phoebe honey love of my life" Just because piper!!!!!!! said that you failed doesn't mean that that is true." Prue knew that she could have told you guys but she chose not to do that and go to brents anyway. That was her choice not yours. Besides when was the last time prue did anything that that she didn't want to do believe me, short of strapping her to a chair you, piper and even Leo could not have stopped her. "I know that you are right it is just that my heart is telling me different". Cole gives her a little kiss on her cheeks this to shall pass he said. Phoebe, looked at him those eyes she could get lost in them and forget for a few seconds the rest of the day.

Reluctantly she gets of his lap. "I have to get some of prue's stuff and take it to her in the hospital". Phoebe says. Do you need any help cole wants to know? "No thanks I'll be okay. She answers. Then she walks out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She bypasses her and pipers room and straight to prue's room. She knocks on the door out of habit. When she sees her sisters room she starts crying. Clothes where all over the place. Clearly stating that prue had taken her time to find the perfect outfit to meet Brent. The bastardt! She thinks as she starts to pick up the clothes and putting them back on the hangers. What a switch she thought as she is putting the last of prues sweaters in her draw. When they had been little it was prue who had helped her pick up her clothes so she wouldn't get in to trouble with grams. Oh how carefree they had been not knowing the where the all powerful charmed ones. After she was done cleaning her sisters room she picked prue favorite pj's and dottie of the shelf and headed for leo and pipers room.to pick a new set of clothes for piper since she was still covered in prue's blood. And headed down the stairs. Cole was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. He had heard Phoebe cry when she was in prue's room and then again when she was in pipers room.

__________

Phoebe had reached the bottom of the stairs. "I have to go" she says. I m going with you he says. Are you sure cole. In this house you are safe since we cast the protection spell. I don't want zotars to find you I need you to much right now. "I don't care phoebe I m going with you I m not letting piper vent out on you anymore. "No cole". If piper wants to vent let her!!! Better me then Leo or godforbid prue. "Idont think she would do that even in the state that she is phoebe". Okay you can come but you have to promise that you will behave. She says as she tries to smile at him. It looked more like a grimache. But cole decides not to say anything about it.he just takes her sad looking face in his hands and gives her a soft kiss on the lips. I promise he says. "Phoebe I love you". He says before they go for the front door. "I love you to and I m happy your coming.

He takes the bag from her hand as they walk out of the door. This time phoebe looks the door. Cause it looks like they are going to be away for a few days. "O No phoebe says as she stops half way down the stairs. "What cole wants to know. "I forgot about kit". "But I didn't "cole smiles at her. "I gave her enough food for the next three days and I left the sink going in a slow drip so that she has water. Phoebe gives him a kiss on the cheek "Thanks". "Your welcome" cole says as he looks at her it was the least he could do he felt helpless at the moment. They got in the car and headed for the hospital.

When they get to the hospital they run into darryl. "Hey pheebs how are you doing"? "Fine thanks darryl phoebe says as she recieves his hug. "Where is piper"? "She is upstairs with prue did you find out anything"? "Not much we went to his appartement but hasn't come back I doubt that he will but I have some officers staking out the place in case he is stupid enough to show up. Cole he says as he nods his head. Darryl cole replies. Any idea where he might have gone? cole wants to know. "Nope but we are checking on a few leads. "I will find this bastardt even if it is the last thing I'll ever do on the force. "Thanks phoebe says again. They had reached prue's room phoebe knock on the door and walked in. Even though she had seen prue already. Her breath got caught in her throat again. Prue laid there so quit and so pale. For a second phoebe's knees started to buckle but cole was right behind her with his hand in the small of her back. It gave her just enough insentive to keep going. Piper was still holding her sisters habd and was slumbed over the railing fast asleep. And Leo was sitting right next to his wife with his hand on her back also fast to sleep. Phoebe has walked over to the other side of the bed and took what looked to darryl and cole like a rag and put it lovingly on the pillow next to prue. "Hi prue I m back ". As she strokes prue's hair. Just then prue opens her eyes. Hi phoebe she whispers. "Hi sweetie how are you feeling" she asks prue hard not to cry. " Im feeling okay " but you can clearly see that it takes all her strenght to do even answer phoebe. "Hey phoebe"? "what prue? What happened to me? How did I get here? "What do you mean prue you don't rember what happened?????????????
