Part 15 of
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
"Ugh.. Ugh... What? What are you talking about?", Phoebe asked, trying to act all innocent, like she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Come on... Don't make this hard for me. Please?" He begged silently with his eyes, hoping that he would be able to make her tell him with ease. "I really don't want to have to tell Prue that you know a demon."
"Ok, ok.... Don't tell them. This was the thing that I wanted to talk to you about. You should sit down." She showed to him a chair even though Leo knew where the chair was. "You see, I casted a spell. To see if Cole was something...." Phoebe searched for the right word. She wasn't sure what had possessed her to do the spell in the first place. "Let's go with demonic. So I cast a truth spell and he told me and he also told me that he loved me. So you see, you don't need to tell my sisters because he doesn't know who we are and he doesn't want to kill me-us... Whatever."
"No, Phoebe. If he ever found out who you were, he would kill you. He is one of the most powerful demons ever. You wouldn't be able to win if you were caught alone with him. Your sisters need to know. Now. Prue, Piper!", he called out.
"Leo, no... They don't need to- Hey, guys!" She cut herself short when both older sisters entered the room. "We were just talking about you."
"I see that... What do you want? I need to get to P3.", Piper quickly said.
"Well then, this can wait. It's not that important!" At this point in the conversation, everyone is in a mix of frustration and anger. For Phoebe, it's panic. And fear. Fear of what her sisters would say or think or even do. What if they insisted on vanquishing Cole- Belthazor... Whatever.
"Phoebe!", Leo warned.
"What?", she asked innocently.
"Will someone please just tell me what this is all about?", Prue demanded.
"Gladly! Phoebe's boyfriend-"
"EX-boyfriend, thank you very much..."
"-is a demon!", Leo finished.
Both Prue and Piper stopped what they were doing and simaltamiously, "What?"
Phoebe's hands flew through the air- trying to single she didn't know what to say. "Well, I found out yesterday... That was sorta the thing that I needed to talk to Leo about. Maybe we should go see the B.O.S. while I'm telling you this."
Phoebe pulled her sisters up the stairs to the big book in the attic and started the long tale of what happened with Cole...
(Don't worry! Not the end of this chapter!)

"So you see, it wasn't personal gain because I was protecting us. And if he doesn't know who we are, and if he loves me, why can't we leave him alone?"
"Because you don't know if he really doesn't know!", Prue said immediatly.
"Hi, truth spell!", Phoebe argued.
"Look. We need to get rid of this demon, Phoebe. Now. But if he doesn't trust you, then he's gonna figure out that you know and who you are. Let's cook up this potion. Call him, make a date, and just when he's weakest, vanquish him. It's that easy and you never have to worry about him getting hurt!", she said as if it were any other demon..
"Prue, this isn't just a normal demon. As much as I hate to say this- I love him. With all my heart. And I know that he loves me. I can't be a part of this plan. Vanquish him if you must. But I'm not helping." She stood there for a few minutes and then quietly left the room.
Everyone watched her leave, awe-stricken at what she had said. After a minute or two of just wandering in Phoebe's words, getting lost in everything that she had actually said, the silence was broken by Prue. She knew exactly what had to be done- something that she had always had was a level of professionalism. She started speaking about how to persuade Phoebe into reconsidering what she had said.
"So all we need to do is tell her that it's his life or hers. She'll realize that we can't do this without her and that we out vote her. All we need to do is push it-"
"She won't do it, Prue.", Piper said quietly. She played with a necklace that lay upon her shirt. "I wouldn't vanquish the man-"
"But that's just it! He's not a man! He's a demon... Why am I the only one who can see that? If this were the demon boyfriend of mine she would have no problem."
"Because she wouldn't know what it felt like. Next time this happens to you, she'll know.", Piper argued back, her voice getting louder.
"You know what. I agree with Prue. If we don't vanquish him now, he'll kill us. We need to control this. Somehow we have to-"
"Fine. You two do what you want. But I won't have any part of it." Piper slammed the door on her way out.
The four had split evenly: two on two. With no way of swaying anybody on either team, Prue knew they were screwed. She began to worry; and not just for her life.
"So what do we do now?", Prue asked.
Leo shook his head and whispered, "I don't know."
