"This is the last place she would be," Cole said walking towards a mausolium.
Piper, Prue, Paige and Leo stopped.
"Are you sure she'd be HERE?" Piper asked frowning at him.
Cole gestured with his hand. "She's hates me right now, so I'm thinking she'll go as far away from me as possible. Somewhere where she CAN'T hate."
"Which means coming to her mother's grave." Leo finished for him.
Piper walked towards the door. "Are you coming?" she asked stopping at the entrance. The others quickly followed her into the eery tomb. Silence covered all the walls and faint smells of moss and decay crept up and down the halls. Cole led the way as he searched for what he came to find. He turned another corner and there she was. His strength, his hope and his love, he was amazed at how this one person had such an effect on his life..... There she was. She was sitting by her mothers casket with a far away look on her face.
He motioned for the others to approach Phoebe.
"I don't want to. She might run." he whispered to Prue.
Piper ended up approaching her.
"Phoebe, sweetie, its Piper." she said gently as she walked towards her sister.
Phoebe looked at her with wild eyes. "Where is HE"... she hissed her eyes roaming the small area between them..
"Who?" Piper asked playing dumb.
Phoebe stood up. "You know who, don't play games with me!"
Cole, who was listening, took a deep breath and stepped out from the shadows.
"Phoebe, baby," he said slowly. "Just calm down."
"Calm down," she growled as she turned from Cole towards Piper. "You betrayed me!"
"Phoebe, we're trying to help you." Piper said backing away. "You want to be helped don't you."......
"Whats wrong with her?" Paige asked from where she was watching.
"The hate has manefested in her heart," Leo said watching the two sisters from the distance.
Paige looked at the three in the center. "I thought the book said that the spell wouldn't become perminant unless we vanquished the demon."
"The book is right. But the longer she stays under the spell the harder it is for her to fight it."
Paige looked at Pru and Leo.
"Then what are we waiting for? Lets kick some ass.".....
Phoebe looked back at Cole, hatred shooting from her eyes.
"What do you want to hear? I hate you Cole. I hate the very being of you. I hate the way you made me feel when we were together, I hate the look in your eyes when you look at me, and worst of all, I hate the way you changed me."
Cole looked at her with tears of pain glistening in his eyes. He knew that it was the spell talking and not her, but he also knew there had to be some truth to what she was saying.
"Phoebe, you don't mean that do you.?" Don't you remember everything we have shared with each other?" Cole asked, his voice thick with emotion. "We have shared so many things. Our feelings, our fears, our lives, and our SOULS with each other. Can't you see that all of the things you hate about me, I love about you."
"I... I"..... Phoebe faltered looking confused.
Suddenly there was loud clapping in the background and a hideous demon emerged.
"Well done, I am happy to say that my young protege is learning to hate quite nicely." He said walking over to Phoebe and caressing her cheek.
The sight of this demon this MONSTER touching his wife was unbearable for Cole. He went to summon a energy ball but nothing happened.
The demon turned to Cole. "Whats the matter Cole? Witches have your powers?" He cackled loudly and faced them.
"I have to say Cole, you did a marvelous job with her. I'm was suprised to see so much hurt in such a beautiful person, but it just made more hate towards you."
Piper looked anxiously at Prue.
"What now?" she mouthed to her sister.
Prue shook her head. "Not now," she mouthed back.
They all watched as the scene unfolded.
The demon walked next to Cole. " AHH, Belthazor, It was such a shame when I heard you were no more. I mean to completely relinquish your powers for a girl... better yet a WITCH. I was completely shocked, but tell me, he smiled and whispered. "Is she as good in bed as I hear she is?"
Cole, who was holding on by a thin strand of strength as it was, finally let go. He let his temper go and started pummeling the demon for all it was worth. The demon rolled away from Cole and threw him against the wall and knocked him unconscious.
He laughed and a spear formed in his hand. "It was nice to finally meet the great and powerful Belthazor." He laughed again before throwing the spear aimed directly for Cole's heart.
"NOOOOOOO! Phoebe suddenly yelled running trying to beat the arrow in time. She threw herself in front of Cole just in time for the spear to pierce her own heart.. She went limp in Cole's lap.
Cole awoke to find his wife in her own pool of blood.
"Oh GOD," he cried in agony, cradling her against his chest.
Piper, Prue, Paige and Leo started running towards their fallen sister.
"Oh no you don't," the demon hissed. He started to throw another spear, but Prue sent him flying into the wall.
"Piper, blow him up!" Paige yelled.
Piper stopped a look of fierce hatred on her face."Hey lover," she called. He looked at her with a scowl on his face.
"I think this belongs to you." She yelled as she waved her hands, and sent him into a demonic ash.
Cole was still holding onto Phoebe when her sisters arrived..
"Its my fault!" he cried. "I killed her. I killed the one woman who had my heart."
Phoebe stirred slightly. "Baby, don't say that," she whispered touching his face. "You kept me alive."
Cole looked into her eyes. "Phoebe, you're going to be ok. Trust me."
"I always did,"she whispered. "Cole," she said hoarsly.
"What is it Phoebe?", he asked straining to hear her.
"I love you," she said clearly enough for him to hear. With those words, she passed out of that world and into the next.
Cole looked at his wife's serene face. "I love you too."
"LEO, get the hell over here!" Piper yelled breaking down in sobs.
Leo orbed to Phoebe. He knelt down to check on Phoebe.
"She's.... Dead...." he said finally.
Paige and Piper were holding each other in a tight embrace.
"I can't lose another sister Leo," Piper cried hugging Leo.
"Piper there's nothing else I can do, she's passed. Leo said looking into Piper's painful eyes.
Cole just sat there stroking Phoebe's hair continiously.
"It's gonna be ok," he kept saying over and over to himself.
"I can't believe this is happening," Paige whispered to herself
"It's not," Prue said orbing in. "At least not yet."
"Where were you," she demanded as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
Prue looked at her. "I have been sent back with a message," she said and knelt down to Phoebe.
"It's not your time baby sister." She looked at Cole. "You both have proven that you love each other. Cole, you gave up you immortality for someone you didn't think you would ever get back, and Phoebe, gave up her life for a man everyone else gave up on. That is they both commited acts of pure love."
Cole looked at her tears down his face."What are you going to do?" he asked
"I'm giving you both a second chance, she said and she bent down gently kissed her sister's cheek.
Phoebe suddenly stirred in Cole's arms.
"Cole?" She asked her eyes fluttering open.
Cole started laughing then crying as he held her tight.
"Yes baby, it's me."
"Oh Cole, it was beautiful. I saw Gram's and mom, and I saw someone who had a message for you."
"Who was that?" he asked.
Phoebe smiled. "He said he was your dad and to tell you that he'd be waiting for you as long as it took."
Cole started crying again. "Phoebe, I love you so much."
Phoebe smiled weakly. "I just wish I could have seen Prue."
"I think I can help you with that," someone said and Pru sat next to her sister
Phoebe's eyes widened in shock and she went from Cole's arms to her sister's. She held her tight as she whispered. "You ARE my guardian angel after all.".
