Chapter 2- Secrets revealed
Cole walked toward the broken windows and waved his hand at them. The window shards and broken frame fixed themselves. He looked around and waved
his hand at the parts of his apartment that were damaged by the explosion. After he did that, he walked into a clear part of his penthouse and sat down.
"What's he doing?" Paige asked looking at Cole.
"I'm guessing, preparing? I don't know" Phoebe replied.
Cole then suddenly remembered something and decided to go to the bathroom and shave. He was starting to feel a little uncomfortable of having to go through this initiation looking like he did. So he got up and went into his
bathroom.
Phoebe nudged Piper in the ribs to wake her up.
"Huh? I'm I'm awake" Piper said.
"We've got to stay awake so we know what to do" Phoebe said slightly annoyed. I mean having an invincible ex-husband is pretty scary, she thought.
Cole came out of the bathroom about 10 minutes later, shaved, clean, hair combed back, and wearing black dress pants with a simple black sweater. He sat back down and crossed his legs.
"I wonder why he got dressed up?" Phoebe asked. Piper and Paige shrugged in response.
Cole then pulled off his sweater and closed his eyes and began to meditate.
"Ooh, I mean, huh, why is he doing that?" Paige said trying to cover up her curiosity. This time, it was Phoebe's turn to shrug.
After about 20 minutes of meditating Cole lied down on the floor and seemed to fall asleep.
"Okay" Piper said. "Good idea, why don't we just fall asleep?" Phoebe playfully hit her on the arm and they both grinned. They then both turned their attention to Cole again.
Suddenly, a whirlwind came in, blowing through the windows and stopped in front of Cole. His eyes snapped open and looked up at the person standing above him.
He had a white robe on that covered his entire body. There was a hood attached to the top, which completed covered his face so Cole couldn't look at his face. Cole knelt before the figure and bent his head down.
"You already know why I am here. Your father had asked you the question I shall be asking. You must understand, once you've made the decision, you cannot turn back" the figure stated with a deep voice that encircled Cole.
"Yes, I do understand" Cole replied.
"Now, do you, Cole Turner, accept the responsibility of becoming the Guardian of this gate. To guard and protect the contents inside this dimension. To do everything in your power to do the things stated before?"
"I do" Cole said solemnly.
"Do you know what's going on?" Phoebe asked turning to her sisters.
"No, do you?" Piper said turning to Paige. Paige just shook her head in response as she watched the scene.
"Now, in order to proceed, we will need 3 witnesses" the figure said. He turned his gaze towards the three that were hiding in the next room.
Cole looked in the direction where the figure was looking. The figure waved
his hand and the sisters were pulled from their hiding place and were standing in front of the figure.
"What the." Phoebe started but was stopped by the figure's hand that signaled for silence. Phoebe couldn't understand it, but she felt like she needed to obey him.
"You 3 shall be his witnesses," he said in his deep voice as he pointed at the sisters.
"What are you.Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Cole began but then grabbed his head as an overwhelming pain overcame his mind.
"The process has begun" the figure in white simply said.
Cole writhed and screamed in pain all over his apartment. He staggered around, as if drunk, trying to get away from the pain.
"What's happening. Why is he doing that?" Phoebe asked with a tinge of concern in her voice.
Cole heard Phoebe's voice and stumbled toward her but fell and landed at his feet. He was still yelling, but in between, he whispered her name. Against everything that her mind was saying, she knelt down and tried to help him.
"No" the figure said and Phoebe quickly stood up, startled.
"He must do this on his own."
Phoebe looked back down at Cole. When his eyes flicked open then closed again, she saw his right pupil was fading into white. He started to shed tears, but after a few, they soon turned red, blood red. As they hit the floor, they burnt dents into the white carpeting.
"What's happening?" Phoebe asked now scared for Cole.
"He's is preparing to receive the gate to the demonic dimension as he agreed" the figure answered.
Suddenly, Cole stopped writhing around. Phoebe looked even more scared. Cole wasn't moving and he looked like he was dead, like a mortal. Cole gasped in pain and Phoebe let out a breath of relief. She then saw that Cole couldn't see through his right eye. His pupil had completely turned white.
"Stand," the figure said. Cole complied, though slowly. The figure opened his palm where a simple black pearl lay.
"Keep your right eye open" the figure commanded. Cole simple nodded, exhausted from the preparation. The pearl floated up and came down into Cole's eye where his pupil used to be.
His head snapped back, then he was thrown back. His eyes were shut tight. In his mind, he could see into the dimension he just received. It burned.
Then, he could see another scene, where he was with Phoebe and a little girl was with him. Then he was thrown back into the demon dimension. The change from dimensions to alternate realities sped up and Cole let out a short, but blood curdling scream.
He then all of a sudden and went limp, and then collapsed. The new gate that was placed in him was too much for him to handle for long so his mind shut down to protect itself. Phoebe didn't care what would happen to her if
she disobeyed the figure. She ran to Cole to help him.
"When he wakes up, he will babble due to the new sight that comes with the gate. He is now able to see into other dimensions, as well as alternate
realities. Normally, it would take a person a few days to become accustomed to the sight. In this case though, it will only take a few hours. I advise to stay with him until then. So mote it be " the figure said before fading out in a flash of white.
