I'm sorry this chapter is soooooo crappy, but just got bored with the
storyline.
Part 11 of
Phoebe and Cole- Another AU
Phoebe stomped into her house, slamming the door and her jacket. She couldn't believe what Cole had said. How he had said it. Like it was just a normal every say conversation starter. Most of all, she couldn't begin to understand what knowing would do to their relationship. Not that they could have one anymore. She knew that she had to vanquish him despite the love they shared. It was then the horrid truth of what was to come hit her. She fell to the ground and began crying into her purse.
Piper came into the room when she thought she heard the door slam. She ran to her sister's side and began hugging her on the floor. She smoothed out Phoebe's hair even though she tried to stop her. Prue walked in and flew to them almost at the speed of light. They questioned Phoebe on what had happened and if she had a fight with Cole, but all they got was "It's not fair...."
"Hunny, what's not fair?", Prue asked, whispering into her ear. "Did you two brake up?"
"No... But we'll have to." She stood up and ran up the stair. She was almost to her room when she mad a sudden turn. She went straight to the attic, locking the door behind her. She flipped the pages of the Book Of Shadows frantically, looking for the demon that Cole claimed to be. As she spotted the page with red lettering, she stopped and began to cry furiously. Her tears spilled onto the paper as she asked aloud again why they couldn't be together. She knew he loved her and she loved him.
Phoebe felt dizzy. She slowly picked up the B.O.S and quickly sat down on a sofa nearby. The springs stuck out and scratched her skin, but she didn't feel the sharp pain that was created against her soft skin. Swirling lights of blue and white appeared in front of her and she knew that it was Leo being sent onto the battle feild of sister troubles. She felt tired and had a headache from all the crying that she had done on the way over. She avoided his eyes.
"Phoebe.... What's wrong? Why is Piper ordering me to check up on you?"
"Because I wouldn't tell her what was wrong with me. I found out something about Cole and we can't be together anymore."
Leo appeared at her side, pulling away the rusted springs. "What? What's wrong?"
Tears increased as she shrugged. "I can't talk about it."
Leo rubbed her back in comfort staying silent. He gave her hug after a few minutes and left her alone. She stopped her crying and fell asleep on the old couch.
~*~*~*~
Cole paced his apartment, worried to death about Phoebe. He had called her house and they said that she locked herself in the attic. They asked him what was wrong and he just told them to call him if anything came up. He thought about simply going to her with his demonic powers, but he didn't want to scare her. Especially if she had cooked up the vanquish.
He called her cell phone, but she didn't pick up.
His phone began ringing repeatidly. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't ignore the insistent noise.
"Hello?"
Silence. He heard breathing on the other end of the phone, but nothing else. He knew exactly who it was even though he could only hear her slight tone of inhaling and exhaling. He had memorized it and heard it every time she lay in his arms. He knew it was his love because he would have called her if the situation were reversed.
"Phoebe?", he asked hopefully. "Please.... Please say it's you."
"It's me.", a weak voice said. But that was it. She said nothing after that, but the two words were enough for him.
"Thank god you are ok... Look we need to talk about us. But not over the phone. Can I come over?"
"I suppose so... Please hurry, though. I... I-. I miss you."
"I miss you, too." He stopped, just rejoycing in her voice. "I'll be there as soon as possible." He hung up the phone and grabbed his jacket.
~*~*~*~
Phoebe walked around the neighborhood. She wished she had never agreed to meeting him. Five minutes ago all she needed was to hear his voice. Now she needed him to hold her and tell her everything was going to be ok. Yeah... Everything was going to be as normal as it could be.
She wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she had grabbed a jacket. She looked up when she heard a horn beep. It kept sounding over and over and over again.... It didn't stop, it only got louder. And louder. Phoebe began to panic, but as the car came to a stop, she calmed down. Her feet ran underneath her legs, and somehow her brain picked up on the message and moved the rest of her body. The driver stepped out of the jeep, revealing himself to her. His face was covered by a rain slicker even though it wasn't raining. Phoebe's jaw fell to the ground as she recognized him. A silent scream let out and then a hand was forced across her face, knocking her out. The next thing that happened was blackness.
~*~*~*~
Ding, dong.... Ding, dong.... Ding, dong....
Cole hit the doorbell over and over and over again. It was at least ten minutes before anyone opened the door, and it was a guy when it creaked open.
"I take it you're Leo... I'm Cole Turner. Phoebe called me about a half hour ago and said to come over. Can I see her?"
Leo shook his head, his eyebrows curving in confusion. "No.. She left twenty-five minutes ago. Why would she do that?"
Cole's face turned to panic as he took in Leo's words.
"Come on in..." Leo opened the door for Cole and let him in. The two men walked to the living room where they each took a seat and thought about the possibilities that could be going on to her right then. "Where could she be?"
Cole shook her head. "She could be anywhere and anybody could hurt her..."
"Cole, I wouldn't worry about that too much. She knows how to take care of herself."
"Yeah, yeah. She's a witch, she can take care of herself."
Leo's face turned to shock. "How did you know?"
"I saw them using their powers... I didn't realize that I had falled in love with a Charmed One until it was too late."
"You've known each other for a week."
Cole turned to him and said, "I know what I know! Try using your sensing powerd."
Leo was about to argue with him, but he knew that this was painful for everyone. "Fine. I'll do that and you go get her sisters."
Cole stood up and walked across the room. Leo had to do his part of the plan, then. Closing his eyes, and focusing his thoughts on Phoebe, he tried to locate her. He found her a couple miles away from the house. "Cole, Piper, Prue! Let's go, I found her!" He grabbed everyone's coats and then waited at the bottom of the stairs. As everyone appeared, Leo handed out their jackets. The group was out of the house soon enough.
~*~*~*~
"Tell me again why I can't use my powers to go to her?", Cole asked. "Leo said that she was staying still, right? Well, she could be in trouble."
"You know, you and Phoebe are perfect for each other.", Prue said annoyed. "Just stay with us, Cole. What if it's a demon.... Then two witches will be lost." Cole laughed at her assumption. Then he turned more serious when he caught the glare that was aimed for him.
"So anyway.... I can protect myself. You needent worry about me."
Piper looked at Cole and then said, "What I don't get is why you couldn't just tell her that you knew she was a Charmed One. I don't think what you are would matter to Phoebe in the least. She of all people would understand. It's just a peice of the puzzle that I don't get."
"Well.... You never know what she will do and-" Cole stopped when they reached an old abandoned warehouse and heard a scream emitting from the insides. He immediatly recognized the voice as Phoebe's. "Phoebe..." Cole ran to the door immediatly. He stopped when he failed to open it. "It's locked. Damn it!"
Prue looked at it and said, "Stand back." She concentrated on the object and pictured it opening. Magically, what was in her thoughts happened. She took it off the handles and opened it furiously. She flew the door opened and she walked through them in a hurry. "Phoebe?", she called out. Her sister and the boys came in next to her. They spread out in hopes to find her sooner.
Cole ran up some stairs. He looked around furiously, searching for any sign that would lead him to her. He saw her shirt on the floor and ran to it. From there he spotted some other cloths. He crouched down to examine them as if they would give him a clue. He looked up and saw a room. He ran to it and opened it up. He couldn't believe what he saw in the room. Closing his eyes, he wished he weren't there.
Phoebe seemed to be on a couch; naked. Some guy had tied her hands and feet to either end of it. He could see some blood on her stomach and her face was all scratched up. The guy was on top of her, forcing himself onto her and kissing her with passion. He could see her flinch every time that he touched her. He stood there for only a second before pulling him off of her. He held him by his neck and then threw him across the room. He crouched next to Phoebe, untieing her hands and then pulling her into his arms. Phoebe looked behind him and Cole turned around to see someone coming at him. He stood up and stopped him. He threw him against the wall again and called for the rest of the group. He saw them appear and turned back to his beloved.
"Phoebe? You ok...." His breathing grew heavy. He signaled Leo over to her side. "Heal her."
"Evil didn't do it, Cole. I can't.", Leo painfully admitted.
"Screw the ruled, Leo! She'll die without your help!"
Leo waved his hands over her, healing all the scratchs and cuts. In the background, the sisters were containg the guy that had done these horible things to Phoebe. Cole cuddled the love of his life.
"Phoebe.... What happened?"
"It was Jake...", she whispered into his ear. "Cole.... It was him, I swear it!" She looked down at herself. "Can I have your jacket?"
Cole removed his jacket as Phoebe sat up. He wrapped it around her and she closed it tightly around her. Cole looked over his shoulder back to the group. Jake seemed to be frozen. "Leo, orb him to the station and have him put in jail. Prue, Piper. You guys get in the car and I'll bring Phoebe home. Go!" Everyone did as they were told.
After everyone was gone, Phoebe cried into Cole's shoulder. "Cole! It was aweful.... I can't believe it..."
"Shhhhh... It's ok. Phoebe, it's ok. Come on. I'm taking you home."
She looked up at him, her face tear-stained yet again. "But how?"
He smiled shortly at her and touched her shoulder. He felt her melt into him and then reappear. "That's how. It's one of my powers.... Shimmering."
Phoebe lifted her face to his for a milli-second. "I still love you, Cole Turner. Thank you for saving me."
"It wasn't just me. I still love you, Phoebe Halliwell."
He hugged her tightly as her sisters burst through the door. He pulled away and stood up. "But.... I don't think that they would be too happy if we were together. Not to mention you can't be with an evil agent...."
"What does he mean, Phoebe?", Piper asked. "What does he mean?"
"He's a demon...", Phoebe answered obeidintly. "A non-evil demon, you guys! He had plenty of chances to kill me and he didn't. He loves me!"
"I should just go...", Cole said.
Prue answered ,"I think that is wise", as Phoebe answered,"No, don't!"
Prue glared at her youngest sister. "What? Phoebe, you can't be kidding me!"
"I'll leave you guys alone if you don't come looking for me. I love you. Phoebe." He bent down and kissed her cheek. "Keep the jacket. Bye." He shimmered out of the room, leaving Phoebe crying. Her sisters hugged her and comforted her all night long.
~*~*~*~
Phoebe sat at the bar of P3. It had been almost a month since Cole had left and it was her first night out of the house. She noticed her sisters join her and place some water (with the lime twist!) in front of her. She smiled at them, drowning in her thoughts. She looked over her shoulder at the band that had been there that night. The music was great, but she was in no mood.
A man caught her eye. He looked familiar ans she couldn't decide if she was dreaming or if her eyes were just decieving her. But she blinked and he was still there, watching her. She lept up and excused herself from the bar she was at. She ran to the guy who now had his arms open to her. She through hers around him, smiling so wide that one could count all of her teeth.
"Cole!", she nearly screamed. He spun her aroound, her arms still clasped around his neck. "Oh my god, Cole! What are you doing here?"
"I just came here.... I was hoping to see you."
"Why? It's not like you think we can be together."
He put her down and looked her in the eye. "Phoebe, I'm here forever. Loosing you was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I love you with half of my heart.... The human half. I highly doubt that Belthazor loves you. But son't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Phoebe smiled up at him. "What are you saying?"
"That I want to be with you forever. I'm going to stay here with you no matter what."
Phoebe flashed another grin and hugged him. Her smiled widened and she said, "I love you."
"I love you, too!"
She smiled even more, if that were even possible. She cried with joy and Cole rocked her from side to side. She felt her heart flutter and soar, and she could tell that his was doing the same. The scene focuses on her face as the screen fades to black.....
