"May she rest in peace.' added Leo quietly as they stood in front of Prue's
graveyard. He could hardly believe that only a few days ago, Prue had been
alive and fighting off demons. He knew that Piper's heart was hearting like
anything in this world. Leo gently untwined Piper's grip of the suffocating
rose in her hand, he gently lay it down onto the grave. It read, Prue
Halliwell, the bravest of us all, may she rest in heavenly peace for
eternity. Piper's tears dropped down with a plop down onto Prue's grave.
Leo gently put his arms around her and they both knelt down in front of the
grave, saying silent goodbyes to Prue.
"Leo," whispered Piper, no longer able to stand the excruciating pain in her heart. She just couldn't believe that her sister was dead. Prue would've died for anyone of us, she thought bitterly. I have to be brave for her and keep this family running. Phoebe and Cole now spent countless hours with each other as if they had forgotten all about Prue. She couldn't understand it but was afraid to ask them because that might break whatever spell they had put on themselves to activate their power of love. Piper no longer blamed Phoebe, she understood their love but still, she couldn't help but feel that a part of her soul was underground with Prue, she could never get that part of her soul back and she knew it. She suddenly felt herself leaning into the warm body of Leo as he orbed them back to the house.
"Come on, Phoebe, open up!" teased Cole gently trying to shove part of his lunch into Phoebe's mouth with a fork.
"Cole!" giggled Phoebe, "I told you not to order the lasagne!" She playfully pushed the fork back towards Cole; she just pushed abit too hard and suddenly heard a plop as the lasagne landed on another couple's table. The couple behind them scowled at them fiercely.
"Sorry!" cried Cole, reaching over and desperately trying to wipe the lasagne off their table. When he turned around again he saw that Phoebe was biting her bottom lip to stop herself from dieing of laughter. Cole blushed, his face full of embarrassment, he suddenly felt self-conscious in front of Phoebe and he felt himself growing shy. Phoebe laughed out loud, no longer able to contain herself.
"Aw, shut up Phoebe! At least I wasn't the one who flung lasagne into other people's tables!" complained Cole, blushing even harder.
"Sorry!" Phoebe finally managed to say after she had stopped laughing. She reached over to put her hand on Cole's when suddenly she knocked a glass of water onto Cole's shirt. There was a silence and they both burst out laughing.
"Let's get out of here, clumsy!" chuckled Cole, signalling for the cheque.
Outside, Phoebe and Cole stepped onto the pathway, Cole's arm was around Phoebe's shoulders and they walked slowly back to the Halliwell Manor. When they got there, Cole suddenly bent down slightly and lifted Phoebe completely off the ground. Phoebe giggled in delight and surprise as she felt herself being carried to the living room. Cole laid her gently on the couch and suddenly Phoebe reached out and pulled Cole down next to her and they wrapped themselves around each other, kissing gently and slowly, slowly enjoying the feeling of love that gently erupted from both of their hearts. Finally, they just rested against each other, something that they did everyday all the time whenever they had the chance. It's funny, thought Phoebe, just feeling Cole next to me or just listening to the steady beating of his heart is all I want to do right now. We don't need to talk and I still feel so comfortable. She sighed as a feeling of deep contentment and satisfaction rushed through her body. Suddenly Phoebe sat up, remembering a thesis that she had to finish. She slapped her hand on her forehead, she had completely forgotten! What was she going to tell Cole?
"Thesis?" asked Cole, smiling as if he had already read her mind.
Phoebe nodded, smiling back, relieved that Cole already worked it out himself, he knew that she was going to be very busy studying for her exams in about three months, she just had to pass these to make up for her average so that she could graduate.
"It's ok, Phoebe!" Cole said reassuringly, seeing the look of worry on Phoebe's face. " I'll just meet you for dinner tonight, k?" he said kissing her gently on her forehead.
"I love you Cole!" exclaimed Phoebe, throwing her arms around him. He was so understanding of her busy life and she felt so lucky that she had found someone as wonderful as he was. She quickly half ran half stumbled to her laptop and started typing furiously. Cole smiled and shimmered back to his office, planning the biggest night of he and Phoebe's lives.
Cole sighed and ran a hand through his hair, what was he going to do about tonight? He was going to propose to Phoebe tonight, and he wanted to make this a night that she would never forget. Should he meet her in a romantic restaurant and then propose? Oh come on Cole! He thought frustratingly, you're magical! Make it something magical! Suddenly he smiled, knowing exactly where he was going to propose.
"Phoebe? You there?" shouted Piper as her and Leo orbed into the front hallway, hanging up their coats.
"Yup!" Phoebe shouted back, frowning as she tried to think of what she was going to type next onto her laptop.
"What are you doing, honey? Is Cole here?" asked Piper as she stood next to Phoebe, her hand on her shoulder.
"Working on my thesis, I have to finish this before dinner, Piper! How am I going to do this? I'm not even half way through it!" cried out a distraught Phoebe, suddenly whipped her spinning her chair around, nearly cutting off Piper's hand in the process. Piper saw herself looking at Phoebe, a worried and frustrated look on her face, tears brimming in her eyes.
"Oh honey! I'm sure you'll get through it if you have willpower! Just calm down and relax, then type, your hands will automatically type anything that you have your mind on!" reassured Piper, whispering in her ear as she hugged her.
"But I don't want half of my thesis to be filled with the word, 'Cole'!" exclaimed Phoebe, unwrapping herself from Piper's hug as she turned to face her. Suddenly, they both burst out laughing and Phoebe whipped her spinning chair around and found her fingers flying over the keyboard as she typed her thesis with ease.
Just as she had finished checking over her thesis, which she had printed out for the a thousandth time, she suddenly saw a rose petal had landed on top of her paper that she was holding. Suddenly, a whole sky of rose petals rained down onto her gently, suddenly, she felt strong arms wrap themselves around her waist from the back and she shimmered. When Phoebe opened her eyes, she found herself in the dark, in front of her stood a lone candle, shining brightly, the flames dancing brightly in her eyes. She walked over to it and suddenly; the candle flickered out, leaving her in the dark. Suddenly, a scene slowly began to unfold in front of her. She turned and saw Cole, smiling shyly in a tux, looking so charming that she just wanted to run over and hug him. She suddenly felt cold and gasped as she saw snowflakes raining down on her and Cole, gently drifting down. She and Cole stood silently, staring at each other lovingly; they were in a snowy desert and Phoebe's heart raced along rapidly, her heartbeats fast and excited. Suddenly, Cole knelt down in front of her.
"Will you marry me?" he asked softly, as snow continue to drift calmly all around them. He held out a ring, the look in his soft brown eyes melted Phoebe away. As an answer she threw her arms around him and screamed in joy. Cole suddenly stood up with Phoebe's arms still linked around his neck and he twirled her around, turning him and her around and around in the snowy landscape and they kissed, the magical, swirling world still rotating around them.
"I love you so much Cole!" whispered Phoebe, snowflakes now on her clothes and some glistening on her long eyelashes.
"I love you too Phoebe." whispered Cole back, embracing her and slowly they began to twirl around, wrapped in each other's arms, dancing to the silent song of love.
"What the hell are you doing Cole?" screamed out Aridella as she shimmered in and watched them from a distance, tears filled her eyes as she watched the revolting love scene between that, that WITCH and Cole. How could he propose to her? How could he? Above all things, a demon, belphasor had proposed to a witch! That was meant to be her, she thought as she shimmered back to her temple. He was meant to love her! Aridella felt the bitter feeling of jealousy and hurt start to burn inside her, wrapping itself around her heart. Suddenly, she felt an intense feeling of rage start to surge through her. I have to take that memory loss spell of that little pathetic witch, she thought, a cruel smile forming on her lips.
"Aridella!" a voice suddenly bellowed through the temple. She jumped violently; she had been feeling the feeling of glee rushed through her as she had imagined the little witch's death. But her sweet fantasy had shattered as she had heard her master's voice ringing in her ears.
"Master," she replied solemnly, bowing low.
"What's this I hear of my evil dark priestess helping the traitor, that belphasor?" snarled her master, practically spitting out the last word right into her face.
Aridella suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and immediately beads of sweat break out all over her body as her mind raced, flipping through different excuses, and trying frantically to think of a good explanation.
"Master, I, uh, belphasor, he begged me to." stuttered a terrified and now shaking Aridella.
"Don't defend him!" thundered her master, slowly advancing towards her, suddenly, he reached out and grabbed both of her wrists with a deadly grip. Aridella screamed out in pain as she could feel her master twisting her wrists around, her bones ready to crack. She felt tears spring to her eyes through the excruciating pain she felt.
"Master! I beg you!" she cried out through tears of pain as she slowly began sinking towards to ground, unable to stand any longer with the pain that was throbbing straight from both her wrists to her head. "Please!" she screamed out, now feeling that her wrists were close to breaking. Her master had done it once before, just to show her of some of the pain she would feel if she ever was unfaithful or betrayed him. She just couldn't bring herself to face that pain again, for years both of her wrists her been broken and each day, she would feel the pain burning straight to her heart. No pain in the world was greater than the physical pain she had been in for several years. Suddenly, her master released his deadly grip, she fell onto the floor, her master towering over her and peering down at her in disgust. He kicked her and she flew to the side of the temple, she felt like every bone in her body had shattered as she landed on the floor, hitting her back and causing a pain that shot through her, leaving her breathless.
"Master, I love Belphasor!" she whispered weakly as blood dribbled from her mouth.
Her master walked over; "You dare to love a traitor?" his voice was hard and cold as his words speared into her heart.
Aridella looked down, ashamed, how could she let this happen to herself? She knew that she shouldn't have helped Cole and that witch of his but she and Cole had shared a certain bond and she had always been willing to be on his side and to help him. Her heart was bitter with anger, as she lay there on the floor, unable to move without feeling a pain burn through her whole body.
"Please master! I beg for your forgiveness!" She cried out, tears escaping from her eyes, as her master kicked her again, sending her hurling into the hard and rough surface of the wall. Her master's face suddenly filled with satisfaction and even glee as he watched Aridella scream in pain, her body now bleeding out from the inside as it saturated her.
"Your precious Belphasor will pay for this!" swore her master to Aridella. "I promise you that." his voice was thick and oily as it oozed the cruel words from his mouth. Suddenly, he threw back his head, letting a shriek and laugh of pleasure that caused Aridella to shiver. Just as quickly as he came, he suddenly shimmered out and Aridella was left alone to cry out in frustration and scream out as the revenge of pain came, sending bolts of torturing pain through her body.
Phoebe and Cole came home late that night, still in a trance from the sweet fantasy that they had experienced. Piper and Leo were still awake, talking in the living room. Cole was carrying a giggling and over-excited Phoebe through the front door, when suddenly she heard Piper and Leo talking. She immediately jumped down from Cole's arms and ran into the living room, as if it was the race of her life.
"He proposed!" shrieked Phoebe as she jumped up and down in front of Leo and Piper, trying to show them the ring on her finger at the same time.
"Oh my god, Phoebe!" screamed Piper, jumping up from the couch and embracing her sister, who was panting violently from the sudden run from the front door and the living room.
Cole slowly stepped into the room, hearing all the commotion and half laughing at how silly his fiancé had looked just then.
"Cole! Congratulations!" cried out Leo as he quickly advanced towards him and shook his hand firmly, a huge smile on his face. Cole beamed back, laughing. They all went quickly to the kitchen. Pop, the cork off a bottle of champagne greeted them cheerfully as they clinked their glasses together. The atmosphere was warm and happy, just the way that it was suppose to be; it was perfect.
"To a happy life together!" cried Leo. Raising his glass cheerfully.
"No," interrupted Cole, raising his glass as well, "To an eternity of love together with the angel of my lifetime."
Phoebe hugged Cole and raised her glass as well; Piper smiled warmly, hardly believing the great news and raised her glass as well. 4 glasses clinked together in unison, sharing the feeling of happiness that exploded in everyone. Phoebe and Cole linked their arms around each other and drank from each other's glasses, gazing into each other's eyes happily, sharing a deep connection of love.
"Aw! Don't get mushy on me!" teased Piper, smiling at the happy couple that didn't even hear her, as they were too busy gazing into each other's eyes.
A/N: dun worry! still not finished! *~!
"Leo," whispered Piper, no longer able to stand the excruciating pain in her heart. She just couldn't believe that her sister was dead. Prue would've died for anyone of us, she thought bitterly. I have to be brave for her and keep this family running. Phoebe and Cole now spent countless hours with each other as if they had forgotten all about Prue.
