Chapter 6: A Turn for the Worst
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
The next day Cole sat at the Mausoleum thinking to himself. He began to sing the song he had been singing the previous day, before he was so rudely interrupted. "I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away, I don't know where my-"
Ren teleported directly infront of him.
"Damn." he muttered, "I should stop singing that song, must be bad luck."
"Ha ha." Ren said sarcastically, "Very funny."
Cole flashes her a fake smile in return. "Leave me alone and don't come back," he said calmly.
"No." Ren said, her eyebrows rising.
"Leave now," he told her with growing edge in his tone.
"No." she repeated, smiling devilishly. She grabbed his arms and pulled his body against hers.
Cole tried to push her away, but one of Ren's powers was ultimate strength. He wouldn't be able to budge unless she was preoccupied and could not focus her energy.
She pressed her lips against his.
"Cole?" came a voice from the stairs.
He recognized the voice, it belonged to Phoebe. He tried even harder to push Ren away.
"Cole?" Phoebe called out again, panic growing in her voice. Hearing no answer she became worried of Cole's safety.
Then she saw them. "Cole!" Phoebe repeated, her voice now filled with pain.
Ren spun around to see Phoebe and Cole managed to push her away. "Phoebe!" he shouted, "Phoebe, it's not what you think."
"Really!" she shouted back, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Phoebe-she-I-" he didn't know how to explain. If only he had told Phoebe the truth at P3. He approached her and attempted to hold her.
"Get away!" she screamed and pushed him away. The tears were now streaming down her cheeks. She ran out of the Mausoleum.
Cole ran after her. By the time he was above ground Phoebe was gone. He didn't know how, but she was. "Phoebe." he whispered falling to his knees. He felt as if he wanted to cry himself. Now, he could never dream of hurting Phoebe, and yet he just did.
After his sorrow, came rage, Cole's second nature. Rage towards the demon who destroyed it all, Renherina. He went back into the mausoleum, only to find himself alone yet again.
Phoebe ran harder then she ever had in her life. Ironically, she was running from Cole, her one true love. Cole. The name burned just to think about him. How could he have done that to her? How could he have betrayed her like that? She thought he loved her. No, she realized now that the feelings weren't mutual, they never were. It was all an act. Acts within acts lies within lies. Is that all he was about? Yes, now she knew that there wasn't one thing he's said that she can believe.
She drove home recklessly, distraught with false truths. The anger and hurt burned like a fire within her soul.
Screeching into the driveway, she arrived home.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
The next morning, Phoebe awoke to a terrible rainy day that mirrored how she felt. The sky was crying her tears, drowning the world in her sorrow. It was raining fear and doubt upon the land. The lightening struck with her anger, her rage. Yet, she couldn't do anything to stop the rain, or even the way she felt inside.
Her insides felt torn up. She didn't want to get out of bed, but she had to. She had a big test at school, one she couldn't miss.
Phoebe knew that she did terrible on the test. During the whole thing she couldn't think of anything accept Cole.
She walked out of the classroom. Her head low and her jaw clenched. She went into the nearby bathroom. She turned a sink on and washed her face, hopping to wash all oh her emotions away with it.
She was suddenly forced forward, she groaned and looked into the mirror.
The red head who had been with Cole was standing behind Phoebe. Phoebe spun around and kicked the girl. "You stay away from me!" she commanded.
"Not as long as you're alive." Ren said, "So, you're Phoebe. Phoebe, you're a witch aren't you?"
"Like it matters." She muttered under her breath, "He planned to kill me anyway."
"He did?" Ren looked surprised.
"Didn't he?" Phoebe asked confused.
"It doesn't matter. I'm the one who will be doing the killing." Ren grabbed Phoebe and threw her against the wall.
Phoebe stood up and put her fists out, ready to fight. Ren tried to kick her in the chest, but Phoebe ducked and kicked Ren's shins instead.
"Leave me the hell alone and I won't vanquish you." Phoebe said, knowing that Ren was a demon, "So were you and Cole sent by some unknown evil or did you go after us on your own?"
"Cole? Oh, you mean Belthazor! And what do you mean by us?"
"Me and my sisters…" Phoebe said giving Ren a weird look.
"Forget the small talk." Ren said, a knife suddenly appearing in her hand. Before Phoebe knew it, her surroundings were turning black, she was passing out, Ren had stabbed her.
"Bye, dear!" she head Ren giggle. Phoebe assumed Ren had left.
She began shouting with all her strength, Leo's name.
Leo orbed in and immediately tended to her.
Once Phoebe was fully healed she thanked Leo.
"Phoebe, I'm afraid you're beginning to make a habit of this." Leo said shaking his head, "Will you be all right?"
She nodded and he orbed out, leaving her alone. She brushed herself off and left the bathroom. As she walked into the lobby she found herself thinking about what had just happened. Why did Ren know so little? Was there something she was missing?
"Phoebe!" she heard from behind her.
Her heart sunk as she turned around to face Cole. "Cole," she hissed, "Please, just leave me alone."
He ignored her, "I'm so glad you're okay! I was looking everywhere for you. I was afraid that Ren had-had-"
"Save it." Phoebe said coldly, brushing past him.
"Phoebe," he said, sounding hurt.
"Cole, I want nothing to do with you." She said without turning around.
"You have to believe me I had nothing to do with that. Ren has some idea that I will get together with her but…" His voice trailed off as she left the building. He started to run after her, but he had nothing to prove himself with. He knew that he needed to show her, some how. His mind found it's way back to Ren. It was definite now. He would have to kill her, infront of Phoebe.
