Chapter Four: Wake Me Up

By: Mage

Paige cocked an eyebrow at Liam. "Someone needs to get the kid a muzzle," she muttered.

Cole heard her and glared at her. "How about someone tell you that you look awful with red hair." Paige narrowed her eyes and took a threatening step forward. Piper stepped in front of her.

"Stop it you two," she said frustrated. "We do have a crisis on our hands. And you arguing with each other isn't going to solve it."

Cole perked up a bit. "Are you talking about the demon who killed the nymph in the park earlier?"

The sisters and Leo looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know anything?" asked Piper.

Cole rolled his eyes. "If I did I wouldn't be sitting here. I would be out trying to kill the demon before he does any harm."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot your good now," said Paige flipping her hair.

Liam started to pick his head up from where it lay on Cole's lap. He was about to retort but his father pushed him gently back down. "I didn't come here to convince you of anything," Cole growled. "I just thought you should have an explanation."

"Fine. Whatever," said Paige storming out of the room.

Phoebe had been silent for a while. She was contemplating all she had been told. It was a little hard to swallow. She gave herself a mental shake. Cole was Cole and he would never change. His heart was black and would never be truly free of evil.

"Cole I don't trust you. I don't think I ever truly will," said Phoebe finally.

"I didn't ask you to trust me," Cole retorted. "I was just trying to be a good friend and give you an explanation."

Piper crossed her arms defensively. "What if we don't need a friend."

Cole smirked, "I didn't say I was yours."

Liam snickered at the sour looks that crossed the sister's faces. Score one for Daddy and zero for the Charmed Ones.

***********************

Paige stalked into the kitchen. The two nymphs looked at each other and nodded. Paige humphed and sat down heavily on a stool.

"Look at me. I work for the Powers that Be. I'm a Champion of good," she murmured angrily.

The nymphs giggled and grabbed each other. As one they frolicked over to Paige. They surrounded her on both sides. Paige noticed them, but doesn't pay them any attention. They did everyone like this. She thought this time wasn't any different.

The brunette nymph twiddled Paige's hair between her fingers. "You know, Paige, we think you need to get back to your . . ."

" . . . Wild side," the other nymph finished.

Paige sighed heavily. "Girls, you might just have a point."

The two nymphs smiled at one another secretly. The brunette looked at the blonde happily. "You're right she is the one."

Paige snapped her head up. She looked at the two women curiously. "The one for what?"

Each nymph both kissed Paige on the cheek at the same time. Paige's eyes widened as she felt her body change. Her hair suddenly became longer and became a sea of flowing red waves. Her modern clothes shifted and morphed into a scandalous revealing green dress. Paige's face quickly changed from one of shock to sultry admission.

The brunette looked at Paige joyfully. "The one to help us find our new Satyr."

*********************************

Back in the living room the situation hadn't gotten much better. They believed Cole but because of recent history they were still somewhat weary around him. Liam regarded the people with a guarded gaze. His Daddy said they might be mean but he didn't actually expect them to be.

The ringing of the doorbell startled them. "I'll answer it," Phoebe said hurriedly. She was desperate to leave the scene. Being around Cole was bringing up memories she didn't want to remember. She opened the door. Jason Dean, her new boss, stood on the front porch.

"Hi," he greeted smiling.

"Jason!" said Phoebe in surprise. She closed the door slightly so he couldn't look into the manor. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Well, we never got to finish our talk," he said seriously.

Phoebe looked down at the ground nervously. Shit, she forgot all about Jason. "Yeah. Uh, now is not a real good time, though," she said in a rush. "I'll call you."

Phoebe reached for the door and started to close it. But Jason put his hand up and stopped her. He stepped into the manor. "Did you get the flowers I sent you?" he asked softly.

"I did. They were beautiful. That was very sweet," she said sincerely.

Jason looked into her eyes feeling as nervous as she was. "Look, uh, I know this is awkward for you because of work and all, but I--I--I think we can work this thing out," he said straight from the heart.

Phoebe's lips quirked into a small smile. "It's a lot more complicated than that. Believe me," she said ruefully.

"Phoebe we have to talk."

"I know. We will soon, I promise."

"Phoebe, what's wrong? Is there something going on here that you're not telling me about?" He looked deep into her eyes searching for the spark he knew was there. The spark that appeared when they were near each other.

Phoebe looked away guiltily. "No. Of course not."

From the kitchen the sound of giggling was heard in the hallway where they stood. Jason snapped his head around towards the noise. "What was that?"

Phoebe immediately moved in front of his gaze. "Uh . . . What was what?"

Giggling could be heard again. Jason looked at her. "What was that?" he said pointedly. Phoebe looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Oh . . . that? It . . ."

Before she could say anything the nymphs including Paige frolicked out of the kitchen and around the hallway. Phoebe's jaw dropped as she got a good look at Paige. "Oh, my god. Paige! Hello!"

The Nymphs ignored her and continued to dance around. They spotted Jason and began to dance around him. Phoebe placed her hands against her cheeks in shock as she watched them leave through the open front door.

Jason looked at the door they left out of. He turned back to Phoebe. "Isn't that your sister?"

Phoebe groaned and nodded. "Yeah. Paige."

Jason looked at Phoebe in amazement. "She's one of the Godiva girls?" Phoebe shook her head and hit Jason on the arm. "No she is not."

Phoebe marched to the door and swung it open. "Paige! You get back here right now!" she yelled outside. Jason looked at Phoebe with an expression of hurt. "Phoebe what's going on here?"

"I don't suppose you could just forget everything you just saw here?" she asked sheepishly.

"Personally or Professionally? Phoebe . . ."

"Both? Ok, look, just promise me you won't do anything until we talk. Ok? Please –for me." She pleaded.

"Talk? Talk when?"

"We're gonna talk later," she promised. She grabbed his hand and led him out the front door. "Ok, thanks for the flowers. I like your jacket. Ok, bye."

She slammed the front door. "Piper! Leo!"

Phoebe went into the living room and told everyone what had happened. They all went into the kitchen to look for clues as to what happened to Paige. Piper looked at Leo. "Can you sense her?"

He closed his eyes and concentrated. "I can't sense her. Probably because she isn't a witch anymore," he said apologetically.

Piper looked downcast. "Of course not. Thanks to me now she's a nymph." She went and sat beside Phoebe who had the open Book of Shadows in front of her. Cole and Liam were sitting on one of the stools. They hadn't said anything since Phoebe's news about Paige.

Both the sisters each went into blame mood. They each blamed themselves for Paige becoming a nymph. Phoebe shut the book and put her face in her hands. "Thanks to my sleeping with Jason my paper's going to get an exclusive."

Leo, Piper, and Phoebe suddenly turned to Cole. He almost rolled his eyes. "Phoebe I get it. We're over. You can say you slept with what's his name. I don't particularly care."

"Are you sure?"

Cole looked down to make sure his son was asleep. He didn't want Liam to hear what they were talking about. Children shouldn't hear about stuff like this. "Phoebe I think I became sure after you killed me for the second time."

Leo pinched the bridge of his nose. "Can we try and get back on the subject at hand," he admonished. "We need to find Paige before the demon does."

"It's not gonna do any good unless we come up with a vanquishing potion," said Piper.

"Paige already did that," Phoebe corrected.

"She did?"

"Yeah."

"Paige has really came a long way in such a short time," commented Cole. He was actually impressed by the red head. Not many well-experienced witches have become as good as Paige, who has only been doing it for a year and a half.

They looked at Cole in amazement. The Paige and Cole fights were legendary in the manor. They couldn't believe that he had just paid the witch a compliment. If Paige were here that might have made her see Cole in a different light. The phone began to ring. Leo being the closest answered it.

"Hello . . . Oh . . . Oh . . ." He hung up the phone. "I think we have just found Paige."

"Well where is she?" asked Piper.

"P3."

****************************************

Cole let the sisters deal with capturing Paige. He went home that night. He had to get Liam to bed because he had school tomorrow. And he had to be at work. He would let the Charmed One's deal with their own problem. If he were to be involved he would receive a vision or something creative from the Powers that Be. Probably a vision that was more their style.

Cole tossed and turned in his bed. He was in deep sleep. But his erratic movement showed he was having an intense dream. Cole was dreaming all right. But it wasn't an ordinary dream. He was getting flashes and glimpses of images. They came so fast that he could only make out a few clearly.

An old woman

Wyatt

Paige

Phoebe

Piper

Liam

Men and woman dressed strangely

Gods Goddess

An unrecognizable face

A young man – unknown

Whitelighters all around him – all dead

Leo – Elder – Leo – dead

An explosion – Fire – Blackness

Cole eyes snapped open and he shot up. His brow and hair was covered in sweat. He looked around trying to recognize his surroundings. He had never had a dream like that. It was unreal. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced. He tried to remember it. But the details of the dream were fading from his mind the more he thought about it. It just kept fading as if it was never there.

He put his hand to his forehead and wiped off the sweat. Cole frowned trying to remember something about the prophetic dream. He came up empty. With a frustrated sigh he laid back down. He closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep. When he awoke in the morning he wouldn't remember ever having the dream or waking up in the middle of the night.
