[Summary] Phoebe relives a vague memory from her past. She temporarily lived in L.A. before moving back in with her sisters. Cole is missing and Phoebe is dating Jason.

Rated R for sexual content and explicit language. Cole never died. Just disappeared, my story... my rules! PLEASE REVIEW!! THANKS!

Haunted

*Deep Breaths*

Phoebe hurried home. Her hands were shaking and moist.

"Cole, you bastard. Why are you doing this to me?! Now!! When everything was going smoothly! You sick son-of-a-bitch!" she yelled at nothing as she drove home.

"Phoebe, what's going on? I heard about your sweet dreams." Paige said when Phoebe walked through the back door

"Paige," she slammed her bag and letters on the table "There was nothing sweet about them."

Phoebe stomped out of the kitchen.

"It was sarcasm..." she smiled faintly and followed her sister.

"Phoebe what are you doing home? You're supposed to be working and getting your mind off the daydreaming." Piper was sitting on the couch, breast feeding Wyatt.

"Piper... I had another dream. And it was a lot hotter and sweatier and oh so..."

"Please...no details." Paige was disgusted at her mental visual

"Sorry, but we have to know what's going on. I can't let my powers grow like this... into something that's so horrible and unexplainable."

"I talked to Leo about your. dreams... and he's checking with the elders."

A bunch of sparkling blue lights appeared and Leo emerged.

"Hi guys. I have a bit of 'eh' news."

"'eh'? Leo? EH?!" Phoebe was overwhelmed

"Phoebe, Calm down." Paige told her

"Yes. Don't bite my husband's head off, please."

*How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable

So condescending unnecessarily critical

I have the tendency of getting very physical

So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle*

"Well... the elders said this isn't your power. You're not supposed to receive this gift. It wasn't meant for you. It's-"

"I think we get the point Leo." Paige said

"So... I don't understand, how's this happening then?"

"Either someone is sending you past memories or you're remembering them and reliving them.... or..."

"This is your 'eh' news?!" Phoebe began to get annoyed "Leo, you're not helping me at all here. I'm reliving demonic pleasures from my ex demonic, ex source, ex human, EX HUSBAND!"

"I understand Phoebe, but you're going to have to figure this out with your sisters. The elders don't know anything either." Leo said and orbed off again

*You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here

This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear

You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone

Not fit to funkin' tread the ground I'm walking on*

"Okay, Pheebs... do you remember what you did that night of the dream?"

"Uhh," Phoebe tried to get her mind clear. "I went out with Jason, had a few drinks, tasted this really great new drink "Tourniquet", at this new club, and he drove me back home."

"Maybe.... it was the drink?" Paige questioned

"Maybe... I really don't know."

"A 'reliving the past' drink? Is that possible?" Piper asked

"Maybe... I mean there's a youth drink, you know.... the fountain of youth."

"That exists?"

"You're still questioning all of these things after the whole Sirens, Mummy thing, and gypsies?"

"That's true."

"But maybe it has absolutely nothing to do with anything I did that night. It just happened." Phoebe tried to persuade them

"Phoebe," Piper said "everything has a reason. Everything happens for a purpose."

"Yeah, Pheebs. Piper's right. I think, maybe Cole is sending you these things to get you back?" Paige added

"I don't know. I'm so tired. I can't sleep because Cole's there and I can't live life because Cole might be watching me. I need a place to get away. To just leave!!" Phoebe pleaded

"Hey, what about this?" Paige began flipping through the book of shadows "Cloud Nine?"

"Wow, that's real?" Piper asked. Paige gave her an 'everything is real' look. "Oh."

"Since when did the book of shadows become a getaway brochure?" Phoebe asked.

*When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her
dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe*

"No idea. But why didn't we find this before when we were really stressed out after all those darn demon attacks?" Paige asked "So whadda say? A table for three on cloud nine?" Phoebe suggested

"Ow!" Piper yelled

"What?"

"He bit me." Piper stared at her sweet son, Wyatt. "Better make that four."

"Wait... It doesn't feel right. The book suddenly having this great getaway, when we've flipped through that book a hundred times and never seen that. And Cloud Nine is one of those romantic places. I think Cole is up to something. Who knows what'll happen on Cloud Nine..."

"I guess... so what do we do?"

"I don't know."

"This is driving me crazy!" Phoebe screamed holding her head

*What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head

You should know better you never listened to a word I said

Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat

Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did*

"I guess you like what I'm doing..." Cole smiled slyly

"I do. But isn't it my turn to do something for you?"

"There's an idea, but are you sure you won't run away?"

"I never leave my men unpleased." He grinned and undid the rope.

She got up and threw him into the previous position she was in. She tied him to the bed post.

"Now it's my turn." She slid into him. Up and down, up and down.

He moaned but was still hushed. He watched her enjoying herself using him in this game of seduction. Her turn was quick but very pleasurable. She fell next to him, feeling his breath against her face. They began to kiss, first it was hard... but then it slowly got softer and softer. She broke away and turned into the pillow. He began to caress her neck.

"NO!!!" Phoebe opened her eyes. There is was again. Cole. His memory ripped her apart.

"Phoebe?! Phoebe what's wrong?" Piper was concerned

"Are you okay?" Paige asked

"No, I don't think so." She cupped her hands around her neck "Piper... I can't deal with this anymore." She dropped her hands to her lap.

*Does it kill

Does it burn

Is it painful to learn

That it's me that has all the control*

"Phoebe?" Paige was stunned

"What?" Phoebe was sweating, Cole got to her.

"What happened to your neck?" Paige asked as she pointed to a pink spot on her neck

"What?!" She ran to a mirror. "Oh my god..."

Piper looked at her neck. "Phoebe... is that a hickey?"

"Yes... yes it is."

"It wasn't there 5 minutes ago." Paige said

"Yeah, Paige... I know that. I had another one of those dreams with Cole again. And he began to well..." She pointed at her neck

"Phoebe... this isn't getting any better."

"I don't think it can get any worse."

*Does it thrill

Does it sting

When you feel what I bring

And you wish that you had me to hold*
