This is the second part of walk away, sorry I've kept you in the blue for so long, I kind of had a writers block, but I think I'm well on track again, Hope you like it. Oh, um, I don't own Charmed or the characters, except David, Desra and Jim.

Leo stood stunned as Jim walked away, leaving him with so many doubts, not only for Cole, but for Phoebe, he knew how she felt about him, he noticed how she looked at him, how she talked about him. This would kill her, and she never did anything to deserve this pain, and to be truly honest with himself, neither did Cole, he doesn't even remember he is a demon, he has no blame in this. Leo thought about this for what seemed an eternity, examining all the possible solutions to saving Cole for Phoebe's sake, and protecting this secret. He heard a scream from what seemed to be Piper, his emotions were thrown into complete panic, what was he going to tell piper? She could tell when he was lying and when he was keeping something from them, he had wished Jim had never told him about this. He swallowed his fear and pondered what he had to do next. He paced slowly as he heard his charges calls, he ignored them for a while and than decided he would have to keep his mouth shut, it wasn't his call to decide on this, he orbed slowly trying to delay his dishonesty. He saw the blue lights from the orb disappear and Piper's face come into view. "what is it?" he asked.

Piper called and the minute she saw Leo she knew something was wrong. The last five minutes had past in agony of what to do next, she saw the pain in her little sisters eyes, and the impotence that developed in her. Her eyes darted to Paige, who was sitting on a chair staring blankly at Cole, Phoebe in a corner also watching Cole and Cole, tied to a tube passed out on the floor. "what is it Leo?" she asked concerned, "what? No nothing, just work stuff" he explained, "what did they tell you?" Phoebe chimed in concerned, "they know nothing about it" Leo said with a sigh, "ok, so what do we do?" Paige asked, "you can't do anything" Leo said, "what do you mean we can't do anything?" Phoebe asked, her voice hitting a high point she never knew she had, "what you heard Phoebe, just let it go, you can't do anything, you just have to let him die", Leo said, avoiding her stare. Phoebe stared incredulously at him, it was the first time Leo gave up so easily, "what? No, I won't let him die, Leo!! For all we know he could be our innocent!!!!" she screamed at him, Leo flinched slightly but regained his composure quickly, "he's not an innocent Phoebe!! Jesus, let it go, we can't do anything, there is nothing, ok, you lost him!!" he screamed back at her, he didn't mean to scream at him like that but he was very stressed out, Phoebe looked at him and blinked back the tears that were forming in her eyes, she turned her back on him and headed down the stairs to her room. Piper looked at him and shot him a glance, just before she went after her sister, leaving Paige and Leo alone.

Phoebe sat on her bed, letting the tears slowly fall down, she wiped them when she heard the door creak open, "hey" Piper said, "hey" phoebe responded, "we'll save him, pheobs, Leo is wrong, we will be able to save him" piper said quietly, Phoebe smiled but nodded, "no we won't, he's right, we no nothing about this, what's doing this to him, I think all that's left to do is walk away" she said quietly, "phoebe, don't be so pessimistic, we can do it, we've saved so many people before, this isn't any different" piper stated, "there is something different, I don't know what, but I feel like somebody is hiding something from us, something that's keeping us, or me from saving him" she said, "like what?" Piper questioned, "I don't know, but I do know it has something to do with Cole, with the elders and with David" she stated seriously, piper looked at her intrigued, "what makes you think they have something to do with this?" Piper asked, "well, David was never the jealous type right?" phoebe began, piper nodded, she knew for a fact that David had never been threatened by any man that approached Phoebe, "Cole comes in my life and he goes crazy, he snaps, I mean, he was never violent and look what he did" phoebe explained pointing to the cut on her head, Piper nodded, encouraging Phoebe to go on, she knew her little sister was on to something, she always had a detective bone. "Somehow, I know, that they're linked, but I don't know why. Plus, I could've sworn that I have met Cole before he crashed my car, and the weird thing is, he feels the same way, I mean he told me so, I feel like I know him" she explained, Piper got up and faced Phoebe, "they could all be coincidences, I mean, yeah, David was never jealous, but maybe he recently noticed what a great catch you were and suddenly became afraid of losing you, and the whole you meeting Cole thing, I mean, Dejavu, past lives, there could be millions of explanations" piper explained, Phoebe nodded, "no, Piper, I know, something is going on, and Leo, he was all nervous and jittery, and all pessimistic, you're his wife, has he ever been like this?" Phoebe asked, what Phoebe had just said struck a nerve, "you're right, he's never been like that" piper said, "see, something is going on, I don't know what, but there is something, I mean, everything just points to it, and oh!! The name and his house!!" she screamed, Piper jumped at her sudden excitement, "when we met, he never told his name, he said so, and I knew it, I knew he was Assistant District Attorney Cole Turner, and his house, the day me and David had our fight, I drove off and I found myself knocking on this door I didn't know, or recognize, but somewhere in my soul or in my heart, I knew it was Cole's" she said, Piper listened to her sister, at first she thought that Phoebe was crazy, but something told Piper that it was true, that Phoebe was on to something, something that involved them all, something that would change Phoebe's life. "Phoebe, honey, but how do you know if this is true, I mean, who can tell you if it's right or not?" Piper asked, Phoebe contemplated this, "I don't know Piper, god this is so frustrating, it's like I know, It's like I know what's going on, you know when you have something on the tip of your tongue but you just can't get it out?" phoebe said, Piper knew the feeling very well, and nodded, she was surprised to see David orb in behind phoebe when she did.

David watched through his magic ball, he observed the agony he had put Phoebe through by doing this to Cole, he regretted having done everything he did. He lowered his head in shame, "that's right, you should be ashamed of yourself boy" Jim said, as he came in his room, David turned and found himself staring at his father, "father…" he began but Jim cut him off, "tell me boy, are you crazy or are you just plain stupid?!?!" he screamed, "do you have any idea of what you're putting her through, what you're putting that man through, what you're putting me through?!!" Jim asked, "I could lose my post for this!!" he screamed, "tell me, are you crazy or just plain stupid?!?" Jim screamed, as his fist connected with David's jaw, he fell to the floor and looked up at his father, dabbing his lip with his finger, "no, I'm just a man very much in love" David stated calmly, he got up and looked Jim straight in the eye, "don't blame this on me father, you were the one that gave him a second chance" he said, Jim smiled sarcastically at his son, "do you know what you're saying? You have no idea boy, if you had let things flow we wouldn't be in this mess, if hadn't gone crazy, she wouldn't have looked for comfort in Cole, and you wouldn't have had to call upon Desra, we wouldn't be in so much trouble, and you wouldn't have planted the first seed of suspicion in Phoebe about something going on" he explained, David suddenly retracted his brave attitude, "I don't understand, how did I do this?" David asked, "son, I know you love, but she's not yours, you have to know that. The plan was for them not find out, she would leave you and go to him, it would have been so simple, but you complicated things, you gave the green light for signs to be sent out, signs that they have been together, that something is going on" Jim explained. "I have n idea what this has to do with the boss" David said, "David, you know very well signs are not under his disposal, he too, like many of us follows the signs, he already knows something is going on, because like your girl, he's not stupid, he doesn't ignore things, he'll find out, and the only ones that will lose are the elders, not you, I bet you never considered that" Jim said sadly, "what now? What can I do to make things right? To stop this, I don't want this to keep on happening, I'm sorry" David said desperately, "there is no sorry in this game, there is only redemption" Jim said, he looked once more at his son and left. David knew what he had to do, he had to help the girls, he had to tell them, he no longer cared about anything, he had lost Phoebe, he had lost his father, he had lost the trust of the people that saw him grow, he had nothing else to lose. He began pondering how he could help, just telling them wouldn't be enough, he had to do something else, he began thinking about the potion had once been made by Phoebe to eliminate Cole's demon half, he searched in the back of his head for the ingredients and wrote them down, he was beginning to orb but a voice called to him, "it won't work", it said, he turned to find Desra, "what? Why?" David asked, "that won't work on a demon that has been bound, we used very powerful magic to unbind him, he's immune to all that, we not only freed Balthazor, we made him more powerful" he said, "but how? I can't help them now" David said, "yes, you can David, think my friend, you know you can, it's all in here, acceptance is the key, evol will make him come back, no spell or potion will ever save him" Desra said pointing to his heart. Desra disappeared leaving David with doubts not only on what to do, but why he was helping, Desra was on the other side.

That's all for now, I'll write some more soon
