Phoebe slowly slid down from the couch and sat like a statue on the floor,
rocking slowly back and forth, time seemed to freeze and she was trapped
into this world where she was stuck in this hell forever. She never knew
that the impact of Cole disappearing on their wedding day could have this
much of an effect on her. Closing her eyes, Phoebe tried to melt into the
world of happiness and safety that she had once lived in. But she was like
a survivor from a shipwreck, floating in a violent sea of her own
desperation and clinging by her fingertips onto the last splintered pieces
of her life. Soon she would lose her strength and drown deeper and deeper,
sinking into a bottomless pit of pain and torture, a world without Cole's
love, without Cole basically… how could she let this happen? Where had Cole
gone? The worry electrocuted her and sent shivers rippling from the tip of
her head to her feet. The ground suddenly seemed like the floor of a prison
and she felt chained, weighed down by worry and depression.
"Oh god Cole," she whispered through her dry cracked lips, "Please come back to me, please still love me."
Suddenly a blue light sparkled into the room and Leo and Piper appeared, both wearing masks full of expression, which were unreadable. Phoebe looked up and struggled to stand up, her body weight pulling her to the ground and she felt gravity win as she collapsed back down onto the floor of her own prison. Piper and Leo immediately kneeled down to help her. Piper took Phoebe's hands into her own and suddenly, it made sense. It was like an instant sparkle of electricity rush through Phoebe, everything clicked and she knew in an instant that Cole was gone, forever.
"I'm so sorry, honey." Whispered piper, slowly embracing Phoebe.
No word came out of Phoebe as she sat there staring into space, her mind lost somewhere in the middle of her own tornado of shock. She was being sucked into her own vortex of pain. The abundance of her own shock was too much for Phoebe and suddenly, everything morphed into a blur. She felt the icy glaciers of devastation freeze her body and mostly her mind; it closed in on her, like a lion closing in on his prey. She was helpless, lost and stripped of all happiness. Reality ripped out of her last grasp and soon she saw nothing but black.
Cole's eyes gleamed black as he shimmered to Aridella. Ah, it felt so good to be surrounded by the intoxicating perfume of darkness and evil. It rested onto his skin and tingled, anticipating and waiting for his mind to be polluted with the perfume so that he could be fully evil again.
Aridella glanced up on reflex as she felt someone beside her. Her bruises still painted black and blue blotches all over her and she winced as she felt someone roughly spin her around. Her head pivoted around and she found Cole's eyes spearing into her own. No longer did his eyes sparkle with the fire of warmth. The clear ocean-blue eyes, which had so much depth and meaning in them, were gone. Instead she witnessed two black ovals, no longer deep but seemed almost shallow. No longer could she read the expression in those two ovals and when she tried to look for even the slightest ghost of those clear passion-filled eyes she was only greeted by those two empty black eyes. Those eyes, which could only see the world in red, in blood.
"Cole!" her hoarse whisper drifted out from her blood-red lips, "What's happened to you?"
Cole's face drew nearer; his skin colour seemed darker, shadowed by evil and coldness. It made Aridella's skin tighten and she leaned back, not wanting to have any contact with this new Cole. Where had the smile that he always wore on his face gone? Had it disappeared to a town called evil? Suddenly, Cole thrust his lips onto Aridella's. He kissed her with intensity that electrified through her body, sizzling the blood through her veins as she felt him press harder and harder until her mind became numb as the sense of panic drained her energy. She felt herself weaken against his incredible strength and she grew limp like a rag doll. As quickly as the sudden surge of electricity had come, it was gone and Cole withdrew. The copper taste of blood trickled onto Aridella's tongue and she shivered in fear as she felt the pain from her lips burn her. Laughter echoed around the room as Cole chuckled to himself and he shimmered a knife into his hand pressing it tightly against Aridella's smooth skin. The cold blade caressed her skin harshly and Cole shimmered behind her.
"Take the spell of the witch." Crooned Cole in a cool collected voice, "It's either this way…"
He pressed the blade harder into her throat and a solitary tear of blood shed down her neck.
"… Or the easier way" he continued, not missing a beat.
Aridella screamed in pain as the blade dug deeper into her throat.
"I will! Please stop Cole!" Her screech bounced from wall to wall in the room and at last, the coldness of the blade slid from the inside of her throat as quickly as it had come.
Cole shimmered out slowly, "I owe you one." He whispered in a voice that cause waves of chill thunder through Aridella's heart. His smile was cold and left her standing alone, feeling naked like he could see right through her. Quickly, she scampered around to remove the spell from Phoebe.
Sweat broke out on Phoebe's forehead as she snapped her eyes open. She gazed around and saw the familiar comforting images of her room. The soft covers of her pillow were stained and saturated with her own salty tears and she cried out for Leo and Piper in panic. They orbed into her room immediately.
"What happened?" screamed Phoebe. She felt a stab of pain shoot through her and left her gasping for breath.
"Oh my god, Leo! What the hell's wrong with her?" cried out Piper as she saw Phoebe's face was white and her face glistened with sweat.
Leo placed his hands on top of Phoebe, a yellow glow appeared but nothing happened. Her slowly turned back to Piper who's eyes flashed with panic and fear.
"The spell Piper, the spell's been taken off Phoebe!"
Piper's hands flew to her mouth as she almost felt her heart skip a beat. It was like the world had stopped around her and she felt time almost freeze. The sinking realisation that her little sister was going to die whipped her across the face and the hand of fear groped her heart, leaving her short of breath.
"Leo! There's got to be a way to save her!" Piper couldn't even remember moving her lips but somehow she found her voice inside of her and her strength as she heard her own voice scream to Leo. Leo replied with a tight embrace as tears trickled down his face and the droplets dangled on the edge of his chin, seeping into Piper's shirt as they held each other for comfort.
Phoebe screamed shattering the tender moment between them as she arched upwards, her eyes rolling back, her expression showed nothing but excruciating pain. Then she sank back heavily onto the bed, Piper knelt beside her on the floor next to the bed, squeezing her hand encouragingly. Suddenly it hit Phoebe, she remembered everything, she remembered Prue and her killing Prue. He pain of guilt whipped her over and over again and all she could do was scream and cry out but nothing could stop the pain. The fire of pain burned through her skin and Phoebe felt the coldness of fear wash over her body as she realised that her only destiny was death. The monsters of guilt consumed her insides, her mind as it slowly ate away her sanity.
1 Phoebe's POV-
I can feel myself falling, I keep falling but I feel like my soul is still metres above me, it feels like it's been wrenched out of my body through force. Why won't anyone catch me? Why can't I feel strong arms around me? Who's arms were they that I longed for? I can feel my mind itch in annoyance that I can't remember. I can only remember two blue clear eyes. Two eyes which drew me in, they called out hungrily to me. The depth in those eyes gave me a blanket of safety. I see those eyes darken suddenly into empty black pits, pits which I'm falling into and still I wait for two strong arms to catch me, to fly me and lift my soul. I wait to feel the wind blow away all my troubles, to feel the soft wind caressing my hair and make contact with my skin. I long for that feeling of soaring high above the world with no troubles weighing me down. IF only I can remember who's strong arms I long for but all I see in my mind is blood, my insides are red…blood-red. My world revolves around blood being shed. I hear a voice calling out to me, softly lullybying my name. PHOEBE…PHOEBE it whispers. I scream but no voice comes out, I'm getting pulled into that pit of evil. Don't let death take me! I beg, I scream, I struggle but no one can hear me. Please! Don't let me die! Why can't anyone hear me? Why am I still falling into that world of darkness and death? The 2 voices, one high and one low is fading. Oh god! It's fading away, all my hopes morph into nightmares chasing me around and around and still I fall into that pit. No longer do I wait for those strong arms because I can feel my dreams shredding, like paper being shredded into thin strips of nothingness. My life is over, all that I've known is over. My sanity is gone as well and suddenly reality seems like a distant land, far away and out of my reach.
Piper paced around the room as she watched Phoebe squirm around in her bed, her eyes shut tight and her mind trapped into her own nightmare. She knew that Phoebe would soon die now that the power of love had been broken between her and Cole.
"Leo! I can't do nothing and watch my sister die!" screamed out Piper, no longer able to control the fear squeezing her heart. She longed to rescue Phoebe out of this nightmare but she can't because she doesn't know how to.
"Piper, there's nothing we can do." Leo's reply was soft and his voice was filled with sorrow.
"I can't handle losing another sister! Cole's evil, Phoebe's dieing, what do I do?!" her voice shook as her eyes danced with a pleading look at Leo.
"Well… we can try to get this Aridella to break the spell for Cole as well." Leo said thinking out loud.
"What good would that do? That would only make Cole die as well!" Piper threw a cold look at Leo as she snarled in disgust at his suggestion.
"But don't you see Piper? They might be able to help each other, I mean.. If Cole is in pain, he can't remain evil. We can bring him here to comfort Phoebe and hopefully, they can make it through together." Leo ignored Piper's cold tone as he continued to reason with Piper.
Slowly, as if the sun had risen out from behind a dark thundering cloud, Piper's heart filled with hope again. Without a word, she held tightly onto Leo as they orbed out of the room to find Aridella.
A bright blue glow of light flickered against the walls of the underworld and Aridella whirled around. She came face to face with a witch and a white lighter.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing here?" She cried out in shock.
"Listen to me!" Piper screamed out in desperation. She took a deep breath and visibly recollected herself. "Look, I know you took the spell off Phoebe and now we want you to take the spell off Cole! Before you say anything, we know that you care for Cole and now that he's evil, well, if you want him to be happy you'll do the right thing. I don't want to lose another sister, please!" Piper almost begged Aridella and her eyes filled with tears at the thought of Phoebe lying cold and lifeless in her grave.
"I've seen Cole." Whispered Aridella, wincing at the pain at her still bleeding lip.
"You have?" the surprised voice of Piper came as she anticipated for Aridella to continue.
"He's so cold to everyone, the evil has consumed his soul and his eyes…they…" Aridella suddenly shivered as if a cold chill had shot through her body, she reminised in the emptiness in those black ovals.
"Then will you help us?" Leo asked softly, his heart thumped inside him and he bit his lip as he prayed with every single strand of strength he had in him.
"Yes" came the solitude answer. "Wait…"
Leo and Piper clung onto each other as they watched Aridella scramble about getting ready to make Cole good again.
"You should've seen her master!" said Cole in glee, his voice dripping of coldness. "She's losing her mind, her sanity is disappearing and deteriorating!"
The Source didn't reply but merely smiled with a coldness, his belthasor was back and stronger than ever. Suddenly Cole doubled over in pain and he screamed holding his heart. He sank lower and lower onto the ground and suddenly, there was a blue glistening light that orbed him out.
The Source screamed in anger as he lost his most powerful servant to good again.
