A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. Already not enjoying the fifth season, but I'm sure once I get used to the idea that Cole's leaving I'll get over it. Fanfiction will have to do! Okay, there are two different scenes in this chapter. They both take place at the same time.
Cole fell to the floor in a heap. Piper and Paige looked up, tears flowing freely from their eyes. Leo knelt down next to him. "He fainted. . ." He said.
"Good. This was all his fault." Paige said bitterly.
"Paige. . ." Piper said slowly, she sniffed. "He loved her as much as we did." Piper looked at Phoebe's lifeless body. She climbed off the couch and crouched down next to Phoebe, taking her hand. "I'm sorry. . .I'm so sorry. . ." Piper said, breaking down into tears again. Leo knelt down next to her, and pulled her into his arms.
"It wasn't your fault." He whispered into her hair. "Or yours." He said to Paige, who was curled up on the couch, her arms wrapped around her knees.
"Or his. . ." Paige murmured, looking at Cole's form lying alone metres away from her. She stood up and made her way slowly to him. She pulled his arms out from under him, trying to get him into a more comfortable position. "You did love her. . ." She whispered in a voice that was barely audible.
Cole opened his eyes and saw. . .black. He blinked. Black. Blinked again. Black. Nothing but black. He had to resort to the fact that either he was blind, or in a place where everything was. . .well. . .black. He sat up and looked around, wondering what was going on. He tried to remember where he was before he was here, and it all sunk in. Phoebe was dead. He clenched his teeth together. He vividly remembered the look on Leo's face, the sound of Piper and Paige's sobs. He rubbed his hand over his face. He remembered everything going black, and then waking up here. Wherever 'here' was.
"Don't worry, you're not dead." Cole spun around to face the figure that appeared out of nowhere. The familiar woman he had known years ago.
"Prue?" He breathed, shocked. He closed his eyes and opened them again, not believing it.
"You're not dreaming either, in a matter of speaking." She said, half smiling.
"What's going on, where am I?" Cole asked, not taking his eyes off Prue.
"You're in a plane, your mind is anyway. Your body is where you left it. In the manor. . ." She said. Cole inhaled deeply, wondering if she knew about Phoebe.
"I do know about Phoebe." She said, as if reading his mind. "That's why you're here." She said matter-of-factly. Cole frowned.
"I don't understand." He stated. Prue looked away for a second, before meeting his gaze again.
"What would you give, to have Phoebe back?" Prue asked.
"It doesn't matter, there's no way. . ." Cole started.
"What would you give?" Prue asked again, Cole noticed the urgency in her voice.
"You don't need to ask. I would give anything. . ." He said, finally looking away.
"They," Prue said, as she looked up, "have a proposition for you." Once again, Cole frowned.
"What kind of proposition?" He asked, confused.
"Phoebe gets her life back, if you. . ." Prue started. Cole put his hand up to stop her.
"Wait. I thought it was against the rules to bring people back to life." He said, his eyebrows furrowed together. Prue smiled.
"It is, unless there's no other option. When I died," Prue started, "it was a major fall for the side of good. But they knew that there was someone out there to take my place in the Power of Three. Seems we're all out of long lost relatives. If Phoebe dies, then the side of good is at a major loss." Cole nodded, understanding.
"What do they want from me? And why me?" Cole asked, surprised at the fact that the 'powers that be' wanted anything to do with him.
Prue shrugged. "I don't know why, I'm just the messenger. As for what, Cole. . .they want your powers." She said. Cole frowned.
"That's it?" He asked, wondering if there was something else.
Prue nodded. "That's it." She said. "But. . .you have to realise that your powers are strong now, extremely strong. To the point where you are practically invincible. If you give them up. . ." She paused.
"There's a chance that I might not survive." Cole finished. Prue nodded slowly. "But Phoebe will?" He asked.
"She will." Prue nodded again.
"Okay. I'll do it." Cole said firmly.
"Are you su--" Prue started.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life." Cole interrupted her. "What do I have to do?"
"Just wake up." Prue stated simply. She smiled. "I know we never really got along Cole. . ." She paused.
"I regret that too." Cole said, predicting what was coming. He smiled gently back at her.
"I can't see the future - that was Phoebe's domain -but if it ever happens, I'd be glad to have you as my brother-in-law." She said.
"That means a lot." Cole said. His surroundings were growing lighter, and Prue began to fade away. "Prue?" He called for her softly. "Thank you."
She shook her head. "No. . .thank you. . ." was the last thing he heard before everything went a blinding white, causing him to clench his eyes together, before once again he only saw black.
Okay, there's another chapter done. Review and tell me what you thought.
