Chapter 2: When Demons Attack (A Dying Cause)
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
And so, the new triad was formed.
Few applied for the position upon hearing how easily the former members had been killed. Even though, some still applied, perhaps in arrogance, in false faith that they can do better and are stronger. They too will end up in defeat. None the less, the new triad was formed.
Their first meeting was to discuss the Belthazor situation.
"We should send one of our best to kill him before he kills us." The first proposed.
"No!" the second shouted, "What a waste! It would only result in one of our best being dead. Belthazor has killed the previous triad and many other demons as well, besides, we don't even know if he is alive!"
"You both have a point." The third stated, "But I think we should still give it atleast one try."
And so, a new demon was sent after Cole.
"Mm." Phoebe said tasting the brownie Piper had made, "I sure am glad my sister is a good cook."
"Yeah Piper, their great!" Prue said with a mouthful of the brownies.
Cole shimmered into the manor's kitchen. "Knock, knock." He said sarcastically.
"No!" Prue said, "You knock on the door. How many times do I have to tell you?"
"Why?" Cole asked slyly, "Leo never uses the door."
Prue rolled her eyes and Piper stuck up for her recently wed husband, "He's allowed. We're married."
"He did I before then." Phoebe mumbled jokingly, "Come on Cole, lets go somewhere."
Phoebe gets up and goes to the closet to grab her jacket. "Ready!" she says, "Bye, Piper. Bye, Prue!"
"Bye." Cole says and he walks with Phoebe to the door.
They leave the house together, and stand on the front porch.
Phoebe smiles up at him.
He returns the smile and kisses her cheek, "So," he said, "Why don't we go the fun way?"
"What fun way?"
"Come here." He said with a smirk and put his arms around her. She smiled and leaned on his chest, knowing what he had meant. Cole then shimmered them into a small excluded area over looking the ocean.
"Wow." Phoebe said admiring the view, "It's beautiful."
"Just like you." Cole smiled and kissed her.
Phoebe sat down on the ground and hung her legs over a cliff that led to the beach. The cliff wasn't too high, maybe about ten feet high. Cole sat down beside her and put an arm around her. She looked at him and he smiled.
They sat cuddling, gazing at their surroundings for a while.
Suddenly there was a supernatural wind behind them.
Cole's heart sunk, he hoped it wasn't a demon. He slowly turned around and yes, there was a demon. But thankfully it wasn't Ren.
"What's wrong-Oh…" Phoebe said while turning around, "Don't they ever leave us alone?"
"Cretz." Cole said sternly, he turned to Phoebe, "I can take care of him, Phoebe, just stand back."
"But you're not sup-"
"Stand back." He repeated, interrupting her. Phoebe listened, Cole rarely told her to do something, so she decided it was better to listen.
"Why, Belthazor?" the demon asked, "Why does she have to stand back? She's gonna die anyway. Who is she Belthazor? No-no what is she? A mortal? Have you told her about your powers?"
Cole held back a smile, he was relieved that Cretz did not know Phoebe was a witch, never mind one of the charmed ones. "Cretz, leave or you will be sorry."
"What makes you think that?" the demon said throwing a fireball in Cole's direction.
"I killed the triad didn't I?" Cole said, almost smirking and sent the fireball backwards, towards Cretz.
"There's a new one." Cretz simply stated and destroyed the fireball.
It had caught Cole off guard. Cretz blinked behind him and sent a new fireball towards him.
Phoebe couldn't stand watching this, "Cole!" she said to warn him.
He turned around just in time and destroyed it with one of his.
"Bitch!" Cretz shouted at Phoebe, "I almost had him." He stepped in her direction and she backed up. That was a mistake. Phoebe had been at the edge of the cliff, she fell over the edge.
"Phoebe!" Cole exclaimed and rushed to the edge of the cliff, only to see her land in an awkward position. Her leg was bent under her and her arm was twisted around. He immediately shimmered to her side and saw her unconscious, luckily she was still breathing. Realizing he had to get her to Leo or Leo to her he started to shout Leo's name.
Apparently Leo had heard, because the next thing he saw was a flash of blue light and Leo himself appear.
"Cole." Leo said with a solid tone. Then he noticed who Cole was leaning over. "Phoebe." He said solemnly and bent down next to Cole and placed his hands over Phoebe's body. He began to heal her.
Cole remembered the demon and looked upwards towards the cliff. Cretz was gone. Cole franticly looked around, but Cretz was nowhere to be seen. He had no doubt that the demon would return. He turned back to look at Phoebe, she was awake. "Phoebe…" he whispered.
She looked up and smiled, "I'm fine." She told him.
Leo stood up and brushed his hands on his pants, "Well, you two should tell Prue and Piper what happened. It may happen again." With that, he orbed out.
"We can't." Phoebe said.
"No, we shouldn't, but Phoebe Leo knows. If we don't tell them, he will, then they will be mad." Cole told her and put his arms around her.
"We'll just have to get rid of him and not say anything. If it works, they'll never know."
"Phoebe, I know I can get rid of him…but…if your sisters find out we lied."
"We didn't and we wont. We just wont mention anything."
Cole sighed, it was his turn to give in to her. "So I guess our day at the beach is ruined."
"Not it's not," Phoebe said smirking, "We can still stay." She looked at him and kissed him passionately.
Cole smiled and they sat there together on the sand until the sun went down.
