ON with the show...er..story (I gotta lay off Moulin Rouge!)
Chapter 6

Paige, Piper, and Phoebe sat quietly, waiting for what was to come. They were all scared to death, but each kept a brave appearance up for the sake of the others. Cole shimmered into the room and stared at the sisters, deciding which to take first. Paige and Phoebe turned their gazes to the floor immediately after he came in, but Piper watched him steadily. "I'll teach her to fear me," he thought to himself. He bent to untie the bonds on her feet and was kicked in the face for doing so. Piper smirked at him. Cole swallowed his rage for the time being and contented himself with yanking her up by her long brown hair. "You'll learn not to anger me," he said, voice calm. Piper smiled. "and you'll learn to keep what you value away from my feet," she returned evenly. Cole looked at her, exasperated. "She'll soon be begging and crying," he thought, satisfied with the image. He dragged Piper painfully by her hair towards the door, then reconsidered. "No, I think your beloved sisters will enjoy watching this," he said. Paige's head snapped up at this comment. "Every once of pain you cause my sister, I will personally make sure you experience times three," she said, voice trembling with anger. "Cole, let her go," Phoebe said, speaking up, "hurt me, but leave her out of it." "Ah, Phoebe, my dear, don't you see? Watching your sweet sister writhing in agony WILL hurt you. So it all works out," Cole said, smiling, "Now, on your knees witch.", Cole said, then shoved her down. Waiting until she looked at him, he slapped her, hard. Her face stung a little, but she forced herself to look at him, face emotionless. Cole kicked her in the stomach and she doubled over in pain, but no sound came across her lips. Still, slowly, she raised her eyes to his. Cole made a frustrated sound, then punched her. Piper's lip split and her nose began to bleed, but she gazed at him, refusing to give up. Cole pulled her to her feet and bodily tossed her into a wall. Her head hit the hardest, and blood trickled into her eyes. Piper whimpered softly. "I see you are finally coming around," Cole said cruelly. Paige and Phoebe were horrified. Both swelled in pride for their big sister, but they also ached seeing him beating her. When Cole kicked Piper once again, they heard a crack. Piper screamed as her ribs shattered. Paige begged him to stop, and Phoebe kept her eyes trained on her sister and watched with crying eyes.
An idea struck Cole as he watched Piper drag herself away from him, each movement drawing out a tortured cry. He went to her, evil glowing in his eyes. Piper cringed from him, trying to make herself small,invisible even. He reached down and grabbed her bonded hands and she balled them into fists. She was so weak though, and he easily pried them open. Taking her pinkie in his hand, he twisted until he heard it break. The sickening crunch and the scream that followed made her sisters wince. He continued with each finger, until Piper fell unconscious. Disappointed that the fun was over, he turned to look at Paige, eyes glittering. "You're next," he whispered, then shimmered out of the room.
"Piper", Paige choked out and inch by inch made her way towards her. When she reached her, Paige lay beside her. Wishing she could hold her, she watched her sister closely, taking in every breath along with her. "I'm sorry, Piper. I'm so sorry," she said, sobbing. Phoebe's thoughts were on Cole. She would make him pay. No matter what, he would pay for this. She rocked gently back and forth as her mind turned over the possibilities. She would kill him with her bare hands if she had to. In the back of Paige's mind, she remembered Cole's last words. "You're next." Paige involuntarily shuddered.
Cole waited three days before coming back. Piper had finally regained consciousness towards the end of the second day. The girls were weak with hunger, although he had sent demons with water twice a day. They hadn't forgotten his promise, so when he shimmered in, they just looked at him disinterestedly. "Paige, I've come back for you," he said mockingly. Paige smiled up sweetly at him. "Oh, how kind of you," she said sarcastically, words dripping with disdain. "I though you would be happy," he returned. A couple of demons shimmered in behind him. "Grab her and follow me," he commanded and walked out of the room. "Love you guys," she whispered before being rudely jerked up and carried out. They went down a long hallway and finally stopped in an open area. "I've just got to be strong..like Piper," she thought to herself. Cole was waiting for them. "Strap her on boys," he said, enjoying this more than a little. After they untied her and strapped her to the machine, she found herself being lowered into a large tank of cold water. It jerked to a stop when the water was about waist deep. Letting out a breath, she relaxed a little. They weren't going to drown her. Cole leaned against the wall, waiting for something. "Oh no! I'm getting cold, and wet too," she screamed in mock terror. Cole smiled knowingly. Paige didn't really notice they temperature change at first, but eventually she noticed the water was quite warm. "I must have adjusted to the cold," she thought. Soon, however the water was hot enough to steam. Cole watched her eyes widen as she realised what was going to happen. "You bastard," she screamed at him. Cole smirked at her. "What's the matter? Afraid?", he asked her. She glared at him. Her skin began to scald and Paige could do nothing but wait as her skin burned. The water got even hotter, and she felt her skin beggining to peel off. They brought her up before her skin burned enough to slide off the bone. The change in temperature threw her into shock. She never even noticed them tying her back up and dropping her on the floor where her sisters were. She vaguely heard her sisters calling her name before she drifted into the much needed sleep. Piper and Phoebe cried for their baby sister for hours before falling asleep next to her.
