Haunted

*Sweet Dreams*

"Phoebe, are you okay?" Piper walked into the kitchen. Phoebe was shaking; she could barely drink her mocha latte in her hand.

"No... Piper... I'm not. I'm just not." Phoebe put down her cup, her hands still trembling.

Piper took Phoebe and sat her at the kitchen table. Phoebe's eyes widened and seemed confused and unsure.

"Tell me what's wrong."

"I... had... this... dream last night, Piper. But it didn't feel like a dream... it felt so real."

"What was this dream about?"

"Well... first I have to tell you something, before I came to the mansion. I lived in Los Angeles for a really short time, as far as I can remember. Something happened and I was in a short concussion, and I don't remember much. But then... I ended up here. And that's it."

"What happened?"

"It's all a blur. but I ended up in a hospital and back to my old tricks before ending back here."

"What does this have to do with the dream?"

"Well...in the dream, I was going back to my old apartment in L.A. and then I was attacked."

"By a demon?"

"Worse... Cole." Piper was stunned. Could Cole have attacked the Charmed Ones before they even became charmed?

*There was a time when men were kind

When their voices were soft

And their words inviting

There was a time when love was blind

And the world was a song

And the song was exciting

There was a time

Then it all went wrong*

"Oh my gosh..." Those were the only words that Piper could say

"Piper, that wasn't the worst part... he raped me and by the end of the dream I wanted him to continue. I wanted him, Piper." Phoebe began to tear.

"How can you tell this dream was not really a dream?"

"I woke up this morning with blood on my bed."

"Maybe you just got you're period." Piper gave a phony smile and tried to reassure her.

"But I just got it last week... Piper, I think my powers are growing. I think I can see the past, too."

"But why this?

"I don't know... I don't know..."

"What don't we know?" Paige walked in her eyes staring curiously at her sisters, whose faces were in shock.

Phoebe and Piper didn't say anything. The story could only be told so many times.

"Hello? Earth to my charming sisters..."

Phoebe got up and just left for work, leaving Piper alone at the table.

"Piper?" Paige sat down. Piper was worried.

*I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung, no wine untasted*

"Paige, I think Cole raped Phoebe. I think he tried to stop us from becoming the Charmed Ones even before we knew it."

"He raped her? How?"

"When she was younger..."

Wyatt's cries interfered in Piper's sentence. Piper got up and went to tend to her son. Paige stayed where she was and waited for an answer.

-------------------

Phoebe arrived at work and was greeted by a simple peck from Jason.

"There's something wrong, you're kissing is off." He punned. Phoebe didn't laugh, her mind was still on Cole.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Jason... I'm fine." She lied and he knew it "I just need to be alone for a bit okay?"

"Sure..." she went into her office "I guess."

*But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

And they turn your dream to shame*

Phoebe sat in her chair.

-I can't keep thinking about this. I need to take my mind off of it, maybe a nap."

She placed her hands on the desk and let her head lie on it. Soon enough she was dreaming again.

"Cole..." she moaned

He continued to speak best with his tongue, caressing her inner thighs and working his way towards the center.

She continued moaning and tried to hold in her excitement.

He could see her trying to hold back "Don't try and keep everything in... let it out..."

*He slept a summer by my side

He filled my days with endless wonder

He took my childhood in his stride

but he was gone when autumn came*

She didn't want to let it out. She wanted it to soft and quiet, but there was something about he was doing that made her scream.

Jason ran into the room "Phoebe what's wrong?" he was worried

Phoebe awoke, there it was again. She was enjoying Cole touching her, feeling her, continuing to please her.

"Phoebe, are you okay? You were screaming."

Phoebe nodded "Umm... yeah... I'm fine."

"Maybe you should go home Phoebe. get some rest maybe."

*And still I dream he'll come to me

that we will live the years together

but there are dreams that cannot be

and there are storms we cannot weather*

She picked up her bag and some letters "Yeah, rest... that's what I need."

She left work, still feeling the heat from her dream.

*I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.*
