"Good morning!" Piper greeted Phoebe as she walked into the kitchen. She felt exhausted, having been up until the early hours of the morning finishing the advice column for work. It had been over a year since Cole had left, and since then her workload had increased dramatically.
"Morning." Phoebe replied after a yawn. "Where is everyone?"
"Paige left for work early." Piper explained. "Leo hasn't arrived yet." She pronounced her last sentence loud and clear, as if hoping Leo would catch on. "Breakfast?"
"Nah. . .just coffee." Phoebe said. "I have to get to work in half an hour."
"Phoebe, you have to take a break. You've been working non-stop for ages now." Piper said pouring a cup of coffee. She handed it to Phoebe. Phoebe took the mug.
"It's not like I have anything better to do." She said sipping it cautiously.
"That doesn't matter. Go out, have fun. Ever since. . ." Piper stopped abruptly.
"You can say his name Piper." Phoebe said.
Piper shrugged. "Ever since Cole left you haven't been out much. It's been a year-"
"-one month and three days." Phoebe finished. "I don't want to go through this again." Phoebe put up her hand as Piper opened her mouth to say something. "Tell you what. I'll go to P3 tonight, okay?"
"Alright, but that's not what I meant." Piper said.
"I'm not ready to start dating again, you know that." Phoebe said. "And I have to get to work." She knocked back the rest of her coffee and placed the mug on the kitchen counter. "See you later!" Phoebe said as she quickly left the room.
Cole walked slowly down the corridor before stopping in front of a door. Making sure no one was around he blew it off its hinges with a wave of his hand, and stepped into the room. A small man sat behind the desk, and he jumped up as soon as he saw Cole.
"Balthazor. . .I never expected-" The man was silenced as Cole formed an energy ball in his hand.
"I told you Dartos, I don't go by that name anymore." He stepped forward.
"Of course, I apologise." The man shuddered, taking a step back.
"What's this I hear of a new demon in town? Rumour has it that you've been helping him locate witches around here, yo wouldn't happen to know anything about that. Would you Dartos?" Cole said, approaching him slowly. The man's eyes darted from Cole, to the energy ball in his hand, to the open doorway.
"No. . .no, of course not." The man said quickly.
"Are you sure? My sources aren't usually wrong." Cole said.
"I couldn't help it. He was so powerful, could have taken on you!" The man said quivering fiercely.
"Could he now?" Cole asked smirking. His face grew serious. "Where is he?" Cole asked. The man shrugged. Cole leaped forward and grabbed Dartos by the scruff of the neck, forcing him violently against the wall. He held the energy ball centimetres away from Dartos' face with his remaining hand. "Where is he!?" Cole demanded.
"Alright! Okay. . .he was looking for the location of some witch. . .I don't know." He choked as Cole tightened his grip. "I gave him a file. . .I have copies in my drawer." Cole released him and let him fall to the ground clutching his neck, gasping for breath.
He stepped around the desk and opened the drawer, revealing a thin folder. He opened it and a single picture fell out. Cole's breath caught in his throat as he recognised Phoebe, standing outside the manor. He turned the picture over to reveal the address he had memorised years ago.
"Why her?" Cole asked, not bothering to look at Dartos.
"He never said. . ." Cole glared at him. "I swear! He never said." Dartos said throwing his hands in the air. Cole pocketed the picture.
"Get out of here, and don't come back. If I ever see you again, I WILL kill you." Cole said suddenly. Dartos looked fearfully at Cole, before shimmering out of the room. Cole exhaled deeply and collapsed into the chair.
He pulled out the picture and stared at the woman he had left behind a year ago. He traced her face gently with his finger, before pocketing it again. He hadn't gone through one day without thinking of her, but he had never once thought of returning. He couldn't possibly return now. He ran a hand over his clean-shaven face. He had just managed to get his life back on track, resorted to doing good instead of evil. Or he tried to anyway. Most of the time he released his pent up anger by vanquishing demons. That was counted as doing good, wasn't it?
Cole stood up and started pacing. He stopped as he reached a decision. If he didn't go back to San Francisco to warn Phoebe now, then he risked her getting killed because of his stubbornness. He shook his head and smiled as he realised that he couldn't stay away from her even if he tried.
Hope you like it! Please review, drop one by and tell me if you think something should happen. . .or not. Don't forget now!
Oh, almost forgot. I need your help. Yeah I'm talking to you! I downloaded this 'music video' about Cole/Phoebe, and it has all these things that happened in the show. There's this part where I think they're in the underworld. Phoebe is wearing this white jacket over some light pink shirt with a star on it. Cole has this black cloak thing on. I can't hear what they're saying, but they look like they're arguing. Then Phoebe smashes a potion or something on his back. . .and then they start kissing. What episode was that in? Or when did it happen? I don't have anything on tape so I can't look back. Anyway, if anyone knows, please drop it by in a review. I'll be forever grateful, cos this is killing me.
