He watched her. Her every move he knew. She was his next victim; the fact that she was a charmed one was an added bonus. He could feel her every move, her pain and anguish. Those were the very emotions that would turn her against the one she truly loved..

He quickly said an incantation and summoned a glowing orb that floated aimlessly. He smiled and with a wave of his hand, sent the ball directly into Phoebe's back. Phoebe gasped and her body lunged forward as the orb took its evil effect. As her body stiffened, so did her heart.....

"What in the world just happened?" She wondered to herself. "It probably had something to do with Cole" She mused walking back up the street to her house. The more she thought about him, the angrier she became. She thought of all of times he put her and her sisters life in danger. Of course the times he saved them out numbered the others, but she wasn't thinking of that at that moment.

Back at the house Cole and Leo were still discussing everything that was going to happen, or supposed to anyway and Piper was away finding the right ingrediants for the spell they were going to perform that night.

Phoebe entered the kitchen where Cole and Leo were talking.

Phoebe's eyes narrowed and she felt something she had never quite felt before. Hate.

"COLE", she said incrediously."What in the HELL are you doing here? I thought I said you were to be GONE by the time I got back?"

"Ummm..... Cole fidgeted nervously. " Change of plans?"

Phoebe rolled her eyes dramatically. " I cannot BELIEVE I was married to someone as annoying and overbearing as you are!"

Cole's eyes widened in shock. "Phoebe, what has gotten into you?"

Phoebe smirked. "You know very well what has gotten IN to me Cole. The question is... Can you handle what's coming out?"

Leo's mouth was hanging wide open. "Phoebe, I don't think you're being fair here."

Phoebe glared at him."What's fair? Better yet what's NOT. I'll tell you. I gave my heart and SOUL away to an all powerful demon who has all the power in the world and what is he doing? He has nothing better to do than stalk his ex wife!"

Cole opened mouth to answer, but at that moment Paige walked in, her arms filled with grocery bags

"Ok guys, I know everyone here has their own little life, but how about helping everyone's favorite little sister out for once"........ Paige trailed off as she saw her flaming mad sister, her deeply hurt looking husband and a bewildered Leo looking at her like she lost her mind.

"Paige the only person that truly understands me. I should have listened to you before and not given Beezelbub a chance." Phoebe ranted as shewalked towards Paige."

"Whoa there sister, I know your PMsy, but I think this going to take more than a couple of midol to fix. Paige retorted as she backed away from her sister her hands held high."

"You know Cole I do realize one thing though." Phoebe turned again to face him, her finger pointed high. I realize I've been fighting the wrong thing inside... I've been fighting to love you. I just realized I can't love you when I HATE you."

Cole closed his eyes once more before opening them. When he did he had fire inside of them. "Phoebe, I don't know what cat crawled up your broomstick, but your acting like a two year old."

"Ahh yes the two year old who slept with 100 year old... Sounds yucky doesn't it?"

Cole growled. Phoebe, I love you dearly, so I am going to acknowledge your wishes and disappear... for now." and with that he vanished without a trace.

"Hey Leo..... What should I cook for dinner?" Piper asked walking into the kitched and looking around.

Paige flashed them a million watt smile and started opening and looking under cabinets and shelves. "Well, I'm pretty sure there is a piece of Cole's heart around here somewhere, wouldn't you think so Phoebe?"

Phoebe rolled her eyes "Really Paige, I was just getting rid of some unwanted trash."

"So you decided to RECYCLE him I see. Well once he's been modified, be sure to put your seal of approval on him for his next witch... er... Wife..... Paige said unpacking her things from the store

"Leo, whats going on here?" Piper asked clearly peturbed by the strange look on Phoebe's face.

Leo rubbed his face and looked at her."It's a long story Piper... A LONG story."
