**I kind of messed up and forgot a chapter in between this. So if anyone was wondering why it didn't make sense it's because I'm such a doehead! And to the person who thinks Joel will marry Phoebe. Not quite. But it's a really really good idea.**
"I just knew this would happen!" Piper complained to Phoebe. "Now with Cole on his brother's side what do YOU propose we do Phoebe?"
The two stopped where the rest of the halls headed in two directions.
"Well..." Phoebe told her sister slowly. "You go one way I go the other."
"Phoebe! No!" She looked at the hallways. The left one was almost pitch black while the other was lit by something far away that she couldn't make out. "I'm not going to get stuck battling a demon without you!"
Phoebe grabbed her sister's wrist and looked at her watch. "Ok. It's 1:00pm. We have time! But without Cole it's going to be more difficult. So please don't argue just hustle your bustle down that dark scary hallway sister!" Phoebe said in her babyish voice.
Piper rolled her eyes. "I love how you make everything a joke."
"It's my job I'm the youngest, smartest most beautifulist sister!" She gave her sister an innocent smile and headed down the right hallway.
"Phoebe!" Piper called out in a loud whisper.
Phoebe spun around and looked at her sister.
"What if we meet up with Gresha? What if we find Prue? How are we going to get back?"
"Cole. I believe in him."
Phoebe felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She felt as though she was falling slowly and helplessly to the floor. The last thing she saw was Joel hovering over her with a large stick in his hand.
"Phoebe!" She looked at the figure standing over her sister's almost lifeless body. "Cole! I will kill you!"
"You think Cole would do that to Phoebe?" He pointed to Phoebe.
"Well... yeah"
"No he's getting stronger every time I try to use him to do my work. All I can make him do now is watch Prue which is why you and you sister need to be locked up somewhere. Your sister is just too much temptation for Cole to be good." He put his hand through his hair. "You two will do just fine a sacrifices for Prue."
"What?" Piper slowly backed away from him as he talked.
"Once Prue is resurrected she will need to kill and innocent soul. Sacrifice to her. And I was going to let Phoebe live down here with Cole but I don't feel like it today. So you two will just have to come with me." He motioned for her with his hand.
Piper sprinted the opposite way as fast as she could. He breath picked up pace rapidly and her feet burning from the pounding of her feet off of the ground. All she knew was that she was her sister's last hope.
Piper turned down another corridor and before she knew it darkness and a strong urge to sleep surrounded her. Whoever this Joel guy was he was really powerful because within ten seconds Piper was sleeping almost as peacefully as Phoebe.

Phoebe could hear drumbeats from somewhere in the distance. She slowly opened her eyes. Her head throbbed like nothing she had ever felt. The first thing she noticed was not the fact that she was chained against the wall but that she was wearing dirty rags that only covered her private parts. Piper was chained to the wall beside her still unconscious, wearing almost the same thing as Phoebe.
"Piper!" Phoebe shouted to her sister.
Piper's face slowly rose and she opened her eyes. "Pheebs?" She asked weakly.
"Yeah Hun right next to you."
Piper looked at her sister and gave her a weak smile. "Drumbeats? Is it too late?"
Phoebe broke eye contact with her sister instead looking at the ground. "We still have-"
Piper cut her off before she could answer. "Don't even say Cole! I don't see him here now helping us! He failed you Phoebe. He failed us all."
"Piper?" Phoebe was surprised once again by Piper's words. They hurt. But it was true. Where was Cole?
******
Prue watched and listened as they prepared for the sacrifice. She could hear drumbeats from everywhere and could see about half a dozen demons. Joel entered the room and walked over to the table where Prue was chained. He leaned over close enough to Prue that he almost kissed her.
"Half an hour my soon to be bride."
"Like that's going to happen? The power of three is going to kick your ass!"
"Like that's gonna happen." He mocked her. "Your Charmed sisters? Well lets just say they look Charming chained up to the wall ready to be killed." He paused. "By you!"
"You can't make me kill them!"
"No but once you're evil it's different Prue. You won't mind killing them. Actually it gives you a certain satisfaction knowing that you can make peoples lives a living hell." He smirked and pulled his face away from hers. "Cole!"
Cole shimmered in next to his brother. They looked so much the same that Prue found it freaky.
"Sharpen the sacrificial knife." He ordered. Cole grabbed the knife and shimmered away. "See Prue there isn't anything you can do. You're powerless and sister less."
******
"Pheebs. Please talk to me! I'm sorry I have been being quite a bitch. I don't know what's wrong. I think it's just that I feel like Cole still can't be trusted."
Cole shimmered into the room. "Did I hear my name?"
"Cole!" Phoebe cried out.
He stepped closer to her with the knife tucked into his pants. "Hope you didn't miss me... too much." He kissed Phoebe lightly on the lips and took the knife out of his pants. With the knife he pried open the hand buckles and then the ones around her feet. Next he did Piper.
"Cole... What a surprise." Piper said reluctantly.
"How do we get out?" Phoebe said looking around the room. "I don't quite see a door."
"The way you came in. Shimmering."
"Oh." Phoebe smacked herself upside the head with her palm. "Ditsy Phoebe strikes again."
Cole put his arm around Phoebe.
"Give me a break." Piper remarked. "We have other stuff to take care of."
Cole then put his arm around Piper "What's the plan?" He asked her.
"Ugh! Get Prue... Shimmer out!"
"Sounds like a darn good plan to me Piper!" Phoebe said gleefully. "Should be easy enough."
"If we're lucky." Piper commented as they shimmered out.
******
Prue looked up through the crack in the ceiling. She could see the night's sky and a part of the moon.
"What you're looking at Prue is a timer like thing" Joel said suddenly making Prue jump. "Right now you have 15 minutes till your rebirth."
Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone shimmer in. She looked to see who it was and sure enough it was Cole and her sisters. Piper quickly stepped out of Cole's grip.
"Dear dear brother!" Joel said. He approached Cole and grabbed Phoebe by the throat. She was paralyzed. "Now..." He made another knife appear in his hand. "Kill Piper."
Cole grabbed the knife from his pants. He grabbed for Piper but she backed away.
Joel tightened his grip on Phoebe. "Hurry Cole. I'm about ready to just snap her neck!"
"No Cole!" Phoebe forced out. She was immediately cut off by Joel's grip becoming almost unbearable.
Cole stood frozen. Either way he'd be without Phoebe. One way he wouldn't be able to live with himself for. She other Phoebe wouldn't be able to live without. But he knew what phoebe would want him to do.
"I love you Phoebe..." He said.
Phoebe knew what Cole was about to do. She nodded. Her face began to turn red as she felt the last breathes escape her.
Cole grabbed Piper and then quickly threw the knife at his brother who reflected it. Cole dashed for Prue and shimmered away leaving Phoebe behind.
To continue or not continue that is the question.
TBC maybe....
