Chapter 6 the Reunion

"You will bow!"  A red and green striped demon growled yanking her to her knees by yanking on her hair. 

"When hell freezes over."  Phoebe growled out. 

"Foolish female."  The nightmare king laughed and it was anything but a pleasant sound.  In fact it brought a shiver to her skin.  He sounded so much more evil than any other demon she'd ever faced, even worse than the source.  She thought of how Cole had fought that devil for her and how she'd repaid him and pain ripped through her once more, it had all been in vain… 

"Go ahead kill me you'll be doing me a favor!"  She shouted not caring what they did to her.  Still she'd not bow for evil then she'd really be dead, all she was and all she stood for. 

Suddenly there was a crash of sound like a bullet and then the demon king went flying backwards.  Then the rest of those in the room froze.  She freed her hair from the demon's hold and looked around for the cause of the disturbance.  What met her eyes had her freezing. 

"Cole…" 

"Honey I'm home."  He smirked and she felt herself falling.

"I wonder how it's going."  Piper said looking at Leo who shook his head. 

"They don't know anything." 

"What else is new?"  Pru asked sarcastically. 

"Ok well what if we write a…" 

"A counter spell?"  Page asked thoughtfully. 

"I'll get on it."  Piper said and found Leo already holding a piece of parchment.  "Thanks Leo, Pru give me a hand?" 

"Sure thing."  The eldest Houliwell sister replied and moved to the work table set off in a corner.

As she watched Patty knew that this was for the best, it gave the sisters one last chance to work together and a chance to say goodbye, not to mention it would make Phoebe happy.  Heavens how she missed her little Phoebe, she'd barely even gotten to know her little girl.

The first thing Phoebe felt when she woke was the last thing she'd ever expected to see again. 

"Cole…" 

"Hey angel, how do you feel?" 

"I…  You're…  I killed you…"

"You're telling me."  He rolled his eyes and she felt tears filling her eyes, how could this be happening?  Cole was dead, she killed him herself? 

She felt the gentle hand on her cheek, the warmth of it and the solidity.  Could this really be?

"Yes it's real, now do you think you can sit up?" 

"I don't know."  She said and he slid an arm behind her to help her up. 

"Thanks."  She smiled at him weakly. 

"No problem."  He said and she lifted her hands and   cupped his face.  It too felt real, stubbled, and a little sweaty but all Cole. 

"How can you be here?"  She asked but his mouth covered her in a rough and long overdue kiss. 

It was more than he remembered and yet all he could ever want, tender bout passionate, wild and yet controlled.  In a word, perfect. 

Phoebe felt it was right too, kissing him with everything she had within her soul, wanting him to take it all away, all that had happened to them, to her family to everything… 

*** 

Soul of a warrior, heart of fire, show us now what we desire."  Piper and her sisters changed and in the bowl of water they saw a little more than they'd bargained for. 

"Can they hear us?"  Page wondered and Pru rolled her eyes. 

'In that lip lock I doubt they'd hear a lightening strike."  The eldest sister rolled her eyes. 

"How can she just forgive him like that after he put her through so much?"  Piper asked the question that had worried her all morning. She understood their love, felt her own but what if… 

"Love, it will take time but they'll build up something strong again."  Penny replied resting a hand of reassurance on her granddaughter's shoulder. 

"I hope so."  Piper said thoughtfully as she then motioned to the others.

"You know you two might want to join the rest of us before the demons wake up again."  Page called to them and the couple broke apart guiltily and looked around. 

*** 

"Page?" Phoebe asked in confusion as she kept trying to find her little sister. 

"Yes, I'm here." 

"But y0ur dead too." 

"So are we but we thought it was time you stopped acting like you were."  Pru put in and Phoebe's eyes widened, even though she couldn't see her big sister she knew that voice. 

"I don't…" 

"Cole you have the return spell?"  Piper asked and he nodded to his invisible audience.  Then pulled it from his pocket just as a fire ball hit him in the shoulder.
