Once again, thanks to all of you who reviewed. I'm pretty sure I'm digging myself into a really big hole here, because I have absolutely no idea where this is going, I'm just babbling on. Well..then let's babble away.
"Phoebe!" Cole had just witnessed some guy grab Phoebe and inject her with something. Before the guy could run off, Cole had dropped the flowers he was carrying and pounced on top of him. Hearing the commotion from upstairs, Paige, Piper and Leo had made their way to the front door. Piper froze everything.
"Oh my god, Phoebe." Paige ran forward and looked at Leo. "What's wrong with her?" Leo bent over Phoebe, and a few seconds later he said,
"I don't know. She's not hurt. Seems to be unconscious though." He helped carry her inside while Piper unfroze Cole.
"Umm, Cole." Piper said. Cole looked up surprised, then back down at the frozen man underneath him. "Bring him inside. And don't think this means that I trust you."
"I wasn't thinking that!" Cole shouted after Piper's retreating figure. He grabbed the mans leg, and then dragged him up the front stairs and into the manor.
Phoebe's head hurt like hell. Her arm hurt and her mouth tasted vaguely like sawdust. Then she remembered the man outside the door and her eyes flew open. She was surprised to find herself in the familiar confines of the manor. But even more surprised to find a worried Cole leaning over her.
"What are you doing here!" She yelled at him, pushing him away and sitting up.
"I just saved you. That's gratitude for you!" Cole yelled back.
"What's going on! Can't you two be in the same room without killing each other. No pun intended Cole." Piper said. Cole faked a smile.
"Oh yes Piper, that was hilarious." He said sarcastically. Phoebe rolled her eyes, then noticed the unconscious man tied to a chair.
"So who's he?" She asked.
"Well. He's human. Cole proved that by poking him with a pencil to see if he bleeds. Or that was his excuse anyway. He has no I.D on him at all. The only thing we could find was this." Piper said, holding up a small piece of paper. "It's a spell. So I'm thinking our friend here is part of that cult, 'The Quadrant'". Just then the man rolled his head, before opening his eyes. He looked wearily around the room before his eyes rested on Phoebe.
"Who do you work for? Why would you come after a charmed one?" Cole asked, stepping closer to the man. The man grinned.
"A charmed one? It gets better." The man said. Cole grabbed him by his collar and lifted him and the chair off the ground.
"Who sent you!" He yelled.
"Cole! Stop it!" Leo yelled. The man had stopped smiling now.
"Balthazor? Or is it the Source now?" The man asked. Cole frowned and dropped the man with a thud. The man turned towards Phoebe.
"I came here with no intention to harm you. We need your help." He said.
"That's why you injected me with something?" Phoebe asked.
"I had a feeling you wouldn't come willingly. Our faction is being terrorised by a demon known as the Cyprus." The man said.
"Cole?" Paige asked.
"I vaguely remember a demon by the name of Cyprus. He has the ability to take the form of anything." Cole explained.
"He has killed a number of our faction. All we want is to get rid of him." The man explained.
"Why should we help you?" Piper asked.
"Because we know what you are. Any one of us could expose you as witches. This way, you help us get rid of the Cyprus, and we help you continue living." The man said. Piper froze the man.
"What are we going to do?" She asked. Phoebe shook her head.
"We have no choice. We have to help him." Phoebe said.
"You can't trust him. You know that right?" Cole asked. Phoebe frowned.
"We can trust him as much as we can trust you." She said, ignoring the quick look of pain that flashed across Cole's face, but disappeared within seconds.
"Fine. But I'm coming with you." Cole said.
"No you're not." Phoebe threw back.
"Yes I am."
"No you're not."
"Yes I-" Cole stopped in mid sentence as Piper froze him.
"We might need him. The more the merrier, right?" Piper said.
"Fine! I'm going to find out more about this demon." Phoebe said as she trundled up to the attic." Piper sighed, then unfroze both Cole and the man.
"-am!" Cole finished. He stopped when he realised Phoebe was gone. Then glared at Piper. "Can you please stop doing that?" He asked. Piper smirked before following Phoebe up to the attic.
Two spells and one potion later, they both came downstairs to find everyone in basically the same position as they were before.
"Okay, Paige. Call Darryl and tell him what's going on." Piper said. "And you," She indicated towards the tied up man. "Where can we find the Cyprus?"
"Let me go and I'll show you." He said.
"Fine. But one wrong move and you'll have three witches and a whitelighter on you." Piper said. Cole cleared his throat.
"Oh, and a presumably good ex-demon. Or so we think." Piper said, ignoring the glare look Cole gave her.
"Actually honey, I have to go. They're calling." Leo said. He gave Piper a quick kiss before orbing out. Piper growled. "I'll be back...as soon as training's over." He orbed out before Piper could complain.
"Untie him already. Let's get this over with." Piper said.
Okay, so they're getting shorter. But hey..at least I haven't fallen into my hole yet. Or so I think..why don't you review and tell me? hint...hint...hint..wink..nudge..okay, I'm over it.
