Chapter Seven: Words Traveled Fast
Silence filled the room; you can hear the house breathing. Phoebe soon gathered all her thoughts together, and broke the silence between them.
"Why are you here? How?" Phoebe asked, suddenly with anger filled her voice. Through all the heart aching years she had put up with to get over him, he just suddenly appears back in her life, with an addition of Junior's. Angers and hatred of him leaving her and their child, had suddenly build up inside of her. And now he's just back like nothing had happened.
"When you and you sisters vanquished me, I was still held back my love for you, and I still do. So, I ended up in a wasteland, where demons go. There I had picked up a few powers. I have been investigating in the underworld, and I just heard that they are planning to kidnap Junior..." He explained.
"What? Who?" Phoebe interrupted, her attitude changes.
"Demons. They're taken over the Underworld. And they had this competition that whomever captured Junior will get the throne to be the next Source. And uh, words that they probably will attack when you least expect it." Cole clarified.
"Oh God, Junior." Phoebe rushed back to her room. "Junior!"
"MOMMY!" A shriek was all she got.
"Junior!" She was a second too late. " Cole, where's Junior?" She turned to him with tears wells up her eyes.
"I'm guessing they've already taken him." Cole said, too calmly.
"How can you be so calm? Do something!" Phoebe got angry.
"Ok, here's what we'll do. You go to your sisters, and I'll track them down and bring the information back." He planned.
"No, Cole. I want to come with you. I want to see the bastard that took my son and vanquish its sorry ass with my bare hand." Phoebe retorted.
"Well, then, you'll need your sisters. Demons now are not like demons you have dealt with in the past. They are far more powerful now. Demons who served the Source had picked up a few tricks through the centuries and decades. You won't be able to go up against them alone. Not even I can. Just stay at the Manor. I'll make sure they won't do anything to Junior." Cole calmly sways her.
"I..." She was about to protest, but Cole wouldn't hear of it.
"Please Phoebe. I don't want to lose you and Junior at the same time. Just go to your sisters and you'll be safe there." Cole pleaded; she could see it in his eyes. He was scared for her and Junior. She then come to a conclusion and gave in with a little nod. "I'll shimmer you there." He slipped his strong arms around her petite waist; as she leaned closer to him, smell in his masculine aroma. She'd missed him; she'd missed days that they would spend staying in each other's arms. As for Cole, he held her tightly, like he had once used to. The fresh rosy fragrance of her hair swept to his nose. It was sweet and light. It'd seemed like they had spent eternity in each other's embrace before shimmering away.
Meanwhile Junior struggles trying to break free of the demon's grasp. But the more he fight it, the tighter the demon's grip gets. They were in the Underworld. The world of darkness, only fire to lit up the room. It was so deserted, dry, and dead. As they shimmered in, demons of all kind gathered around, as one of their toughest competitors bring in the Charmed Ones and Underworld prophecy.
"Let me go!" Junior tries to wiggle out of the demon's grasp.
"Look what I brought." The demon evilly smirked in victory; he'd let go of Junior and grabbed his hand, not letting him get away.
"Well, well, well, look who it is." Another demon, with white strips down with arm, which is very uncommon because he was in his human form, wearing a black shirt short sleeves shirt with collar, and a pair of black pants, speaks.
"My Mommy will get you!" Junior spout.
"Ooh, a feisty little one. We'll see who get who." The demon got the hold of him laughed.
"Look like the little witch raised him well." One of the other demons snorted. "You know, I heard that Belthazor has surfaced again."
"That's old news. Where have you been? Don't worry; I'll take care of Belthazor. You just take this little twerp and put him in the cage till I get back." He growl, then throw Junior to the crow demons. " And little man, don't waste you energy in shimmer, 'cause I've already binned your power."
Phoebe anxiously trying to scried for Junior, but the stubborn crystal wouldn't make it landing. As for Paige and Piper, they're thumping through the book of shadow. Leo had orbed up "there", and Cole is on a mission of an investigation.

Ok, I have another title in mind for this chapter, " And The Secret's Out", which one do you think is better? "Words Traveled Fast" or "And The Secret's Out"?
