Chapter7
After Cole had finished reading and re- reading Phoebe's diary, Leo orbed into the mausoleum.
"Cole, come quickly, we need you at the manor." with that he was gone again and Cole shimmered right after him, without thinking.
Once he got there, he found Piper, Paige and Leo upstairs, talking to Prue. Prue noticed Cole first and for a second Cole thought Prue was gonna hug him, but realized that even if she wanted to, she couldn't. She was after all a ghost.
"Cole, I'm so sorry." Prue was crying now.
What's wrong, Prue, honey, please tell us." Piper looked worried, but Prue kept talking to Cole, ignoring her sister.
"I should have listened to Cole's heart. We all knew something was wrong, but we all didn't listen."
"Prue, what are you talking about? What about my heart, and what happened?" Now Cole was starting to get worried as well. What if something had happened to Phoebe, even so he couldn't imagine what. She was dead after all.
I'll tell you, Cole, I'll tell you." Finally Prue calmed down and started. "When we found Phoebe's body, we couldn't believe it. We didn't know she was dead, nor did the Elders. Nobody knew. "They" took her body and burned it. I wondered why, but They must have had their reasons. I kept searching for Phoebe, for her soul, but I couldn't find anything. She isn't in heaven."
Now everybody was shocked, esp. Cole. Slowly he remembered his dream, the one he had every night, where Phoebe would call him for help.
Prue started talking again. "Cole has had the same dream ever since Phoebe died. I heard and saw the dream a couple of times, but I ignored it. I was to busy trying to figure out where Phoebe was. Today I went to see Them. They called for me. The body They burnt, wasn't Phoebe's body. Phoebe isn't dead."
Nobody knew how to react to this. Piper cried and Paige just kept walking up and down, shacking her head. And Cole, he didn't know what to do. He just stood there, trying to remember the body he saw on the couch, the body that he thought belonged to Phoebe.
"Where is she?" Leo finally asked and everybody looked back at Prue, waiting for an answer.
"The Source has her."
Now Cole was more than worried. Why would the Source want her for so long, and not kill her? "Why" he asked Prue.
"Well, she took his favorite demon - you - and he never forgave her. And then she came down to the Underworld herself trying to save an innocent, a very important witch. And the Source found her and kept her, sending up the witches' body after he made it look like Phoebe, just so you guys wouldn't look for her. The Elders think that the Source is trying to get her to the dark side, but she still hasn't. I don't know what they are doing to her, but I can feel her pain."
Nobody knew what to say or do. All they could think about was Phoebe, suffering for all these weeks, wondering why nobody came to help her. It was Leo who broke the silence.
"Why didn't the Elders tell us?"
"Well, they warned Phoebe. They sent somebody down telling Phoebe that she wasn't allowed to go to the Underworld to save the witch, but Phoebe didn't listen."
Leo couldn't believe this. It was amazing what "They" sometimes did.
"Okay, let's go and bring her back." Paige said.
Prue wished them luck and left. Not without looking at Cole, forming "Sorry" with her lips. Cole just nodded, he understood.
They agreed that Cole and Leo would go look for Phoebe, so that Piper and Paige would be safe. Of course they both wanted to come, but they knew that they couldn't.
