Chapter-7
Unscheduled Encounter.Or was it?
Phoebe walked, going along a small park close to the manor. She liked this park, mainly because it brought back a lot of memories. Like when the whole family, including Cole had come here to relax after they defeated Yen Lo. The thought of Cole brought tears of sadness. She quickly brushed them away.
'God, I miss him so much' she thought.
Thinking of Cole distracted her and she wasn't looking where she was going. She bumped into a man accidentally.
"Oh, sorry" the man replied.
"No, I'm." Phoebe began, but she recognized the voice. She nearly gasped in surprise when she saw the handsome face she had just been thinking about.
"Phoebe" Cole breathed out. He had been out by this park to clear his mind.
Though this particular park brought to many memories. And all those memories surrounded the woman who was in front of him. "God, she looks so perfect' he thought as he stared into her face.
Phoebe on the other hand soon got over her surprise and she became infuriated.
"Cole! What are you doing here? What are you stalking me now?" Phoebe asked. She was deadly mad at him. If he had turned evil again, she wouldn't know what to do. She would vanquish him, but her failed attempt the other night proved she couldn't.
"No, of course not. I was just around here walking. Trying to clear my mind," Cole said trying to defend himself. Though he was still madly in love with her, he was starting to get irritated like hell every time she accused him.
"So, you just happened to walk in this park?" Phoebe asked, in total disbelief.
Cole couldn't answer Phoebe because he really didn't know why on Earth, heaven or hell he chose this park.
"Well, I think I kind of had something to do with that," a voice said.
Cole spun around, and looked from left to right, expecting a fight. He really didn't know why, no one could really hurt him anymore anyway. Phoebe had mirrored Cole's reaction though the other direction.
"Oh, relax. It's not like I'm gonna attack you. Though I am happy that the info. and reflexes I put are working," Kara said as she stepped from a curtain of light blue light.
Cole let down his defense posture. He was looking at Kara confused. Phoebe was pissed off and her look towards her showed it.
"What?! You're telling me that you had something to do with this?" Phoebe asked not believing it.
"I'm not as mad as Phoebe here, but, why are we here Kara?" Cole asked calmly of Kara.
"Well, I needed a private moment with the two of you. I didn't want anyone else to know about it. Not your sisters or Leo," Kara explained turning to Phoebe.
"But how." Cole started but was intercepted.
"How did I get you two here?," Kara said, " Oh, remember that whole lesson this morning?"
Cole and Phoebe nodded.
"Well, I included a small impulse for you two to suddenly need a walk. I just planted the idea of here and Kara said making a 'so here we are' movement with her hand.
"Oh. Wait. There was something I was planning on asking you when I got home from work. How did you do that lesson anyway? We can't seem to remember what you taught us," Cole asked suddenly remembering.
"Yeah, how did you do that anyway?" Phoebe asked. As much as she distrusted Cole, she still agreed with him.
"Oh, well, I just kind of put the information inside you're cortexes. The information is floating around in there. It'll come out as reflexes, feelings, instincts, etc. etc. It's a lot easier than having you to memorize the stuff. A whole lot quicker too," Kara explained. Cole and Phoebe just stared at her.
They both knew it took a lot of magic to be able to do that. To actually plant information and connect them to the brain as impulses was very difficult. It just proved further that she was very powerful, magic wise.
"Uh huh. So, why did you want us here," Cole said, indicating Phoebe.
"Well, there was the little matter of the connection between you four," Kara said.
"Wait, connection? What connection?" Phoebe asked. The thought of being connected to Cole sent shivers down her back. Though in the back of her mind, she kind of liked the idea.
"Well, since you and your sisters are Cole's witnesses, you four are connected. I thought you would have known that. I mean you would be connected by this particular magic. Did you forget what happened when you were connected to Bo Lightfeather and Cole help save you?" Kara asked, thoroughly astonished. She thought that they would've remembered that incident.
"Well, if it involved him, I've been trying to suppress those memories," Phoebe said glancing at Cole.
"Now, wait a minute Phoebe. Don't be." Cole started but was quieted by Kara.
"Stop! You two would bicker even more if I weren't here to referee. Personally, it's just stupid. I mean, you two are like soul mates. Phoebe, would you just get over it already? Sure, he made a few mistakes," Kara said. Phoebe looked at Kara.
"A few mistakes?" Phoebe said accenting few.
"Okay, a lot. But, Phoebe, c'mon, he's not perfect. There's been only one guy who's actually ever been perfect. That'd be Jesus. He's not him. Give him a break, like what I said in our conversation before I did the lesson, remember?" Kara said, looking at Phoebe with a 'so what' look.
Phoebe was once again caught speechless.
"Okay. What were you going to say about this bond that the four of us share?" Cole said coming in between the two.
"Oh, yeah. Well, you see, since your souls were bonded in your marriage, though however short it was, makes the bond between you two even stronger," Kara said smiling at what that means.
Cole thought about that solemnly while Phoebe stared in horror. She was trying to separate herself from Cole, not get closer.
"So, what does that mean?" Phoebe asked, barely making it out.
"Well, you'd be able to sense each others feelings, injuries, anything like that. It would allow you to guard the gate a little better. Phoebe will always be the first to sense if something was wrong with the gate along with Cole," Kara said, still smiling. Usually, Phoebe liked that smile, but at that moment, she was just pissed at it.
"WHAT!" Phoebe exclaimed. Cole bit back a smile that was about to erupt over his face.
"So, why can't we feel each other now?" Cole asked quietly.
"Well, the connection takes about a day to connect, so very soon," Kara smiled at the things that might happen.
"Wha.wha.Ugh! I have a headache," Phoebe said sitting down on a bench that was close to the walkway.
"Well, that was all I really wanted to say. We will begin the physical training tomorrow. Oh, and you'll be the witness Phoebe," Kara said before she turned to leave.
"Wait, why? I thought we could switch with the other witnesses?" Phoebe said getting up quickly.
"Oh, no. I need to train you two first. The info. has already been passed onto your sisters because, well, you're sisters. I planned on doing the physical training separately with the other two," Kara said. With that she left without another word.
"Ugh," Phoebe grumbled again.
Cole looked at his watch and noticed that he had to get back.
"Well, I have to get back now. I guess I'll see you at the next training session," Cole said. As he turned, he let out the smile that he had been holding back. He took out a CD player and began singing along to the song:
In this darkness, I'm alive, but I'm alone,
Part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone.
So hold me when I'm here, love me when I'm gone,
Hold me when I'm scared, love me when I'm gone,
Everything I am, everything in me,
Must have been the one you wanted me to be,
I'd never let you down, even if I could,
Give up everything, if only for your good.
Phoebe recognized the song as 'When I'm Gone' by 3 doors down. She smirked at his choice of song as she watched him blur back to his office. She then found herself feeling these different emotions. She shrugged them off, and decided to go back to the manor.
