Chapter 10

Phoebe woke up in her own bed in her own room. She knew that what had just happened wasn't a dream, she had the bruises to prove it. She got up slowly, holding her hip, which had been the main part of her that had smashed into the wall. She looked out the window, it was light and foggy out. She wondered what had happened. She was surprised Cole wasn't at her side, ever time that should could remember getting knocked out when she knew him he was always at her side. She made her way out of her room and down the stairs. Piper was downstairs drinking coffee. Every time Phoebe got up and went down the stairs Piper was drinking Coffee. "Phoebe," Piper said noticing her presence, "How are you doing?" "Where's Cole" Phoebe asked ignoring Piper's question. "I don't know," Piper admitted, "He called up to pick you up and he wasn't there when we got to you," "What?" Phoebe said in disbelief. "Yeah, he sounded pretty shook up," Piper added while taking another sip of coffee. "Was Jason there?" Phoebe asked. "No... he wasn't," Piper replied, "He left my Car there so he didn't drive anywhere. Though it was weird because I was pulled over because I was pulled over because I had been speeding but the officer said the description of the person in the car was a man in his thirties," "Cole was speeding I see," Paige said walking into the room still in her Pajamas, "Sounds like a real hero," She added sarcastically. Phoebe grew angry with this but managed to keep her cool, "he was," She turned to face Paige, "You should have seen him," She got up and walked back up to her room. Piper glared at Paige. "What?" Paige asked. "You know Paige I think you need to think before you say anything," Piper said glaring. Paige sighed, "What happened to us trying to kill Cole? Now you two can't even stand insults about him,"

Phoebe looked in the mirror, she still had the cut marks on her face, and the blood had been wiped off and bandaged. She knew Cole had done that probably because he wasn't very good at it.

The Night Before...

Cole was turned from the window. He didn't dare to look. He breathed heavily. He didn't want to kill Jason. But now that the deed was done he regretted it immensely. He knew there had to have been another way. He just had acted on instinct. In Cole's stomach it felt as if he was going to vomit. He was scared of what Phoebe would think about him. Although he knew he should worry more about what had just happened. His hands were shaking and his hair was a mess. There was a rip in his shirt a few bruises but he couldn't seem to care. He crawled over to Phoebe and touched her cheek. "I'm so sorry," Cole said sincerely. He watched her steady breathing he wished he could breathe like that right now. Tears were not something that people saw from manly men like Cole, he would if he wasn't so scared of what came next. He a picked Phoebe up, she would have woken up from Cole's shaking if not for being knocked out. He set her on a couch he pushed a little of her hair from her face then kissed her gently. He slowly walked into Jason's bathroom. He looked for bandages. He found them and also a towel. He turned on the water and dampened some of the towel. He brought it into the living room and sat near Phoebe, he wiped the blood off her cheeks gently. He hoped she wouldn't wake to see what he had done. He had failed at being good. He bandaged her face and any other place that she was bleeding. He then got up and went to the phone. He dialed the Halliwell's number. Piper answered, "Hello?" "Piper," Cole said swallowing, trying to suppress the shakiness of his voice, "You need to come pick Phoebe up," "Can't you drive her home?" Piper asked, "Are you too okay?" "She's unconscious but okay," Cole replied, "I just need you to pick her up, please don't ask me why Piper," "Alright," Piper said, "How's my car?" "It's fine, I'm leaving it here so you can take it home," Cole said no longer able to hide his shaky voice. "Cole, what's wrong?" Piper questioned. "Oh... Um... nothing," He replied, "I've got to go, will you be orbing?" "Yeah, we'll be there in a few minutes," Piper replied. "Okay, bye," Cole Said quickly hanging up. He walked over to Phoebe and gently kissed her lips. He touched her hair. "I'm sorry Phoebe," He said softly, "I love you so much I hope you always know that," He got up and walked out of the apartment. Just seconds after he left Paige and Piper appeared in the room.

I Song- Fallen- Sarah McLachlan. I

Cole walks out of the Apartment. He couldn't look back. He couldn't believe that he had killed again. Phoebe could never love him after this. He was a bad person. It seemed he could never redeem himself. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets, .a frown on his face. The Moon was large this night and it made Cole feel even worse. It was as if it was looking at him and telling him he was evil. He didn't want to be evil. But it seemed as if he couldn't change. He flipped the Collar of his jacket up as if to hide his face from peering eyes. He didn't want anyone to know what he had done. Time passed and he kept walking he walked miles all the way to the second safest place he knew, the Mausoleum. He walked into the dark building. He fished in his pocket, he found a lighter right were he had left it a few years ago. He didn't know how he knew it was still there. He flipped up the cap and lit it. He squinted his eyes looking for a candle of some sort. He found one and lit it. Then he took the candle and walked over to his fathers coffin. He set the candle down close so he could still see what was in front of him. He slightly lifted the top. He could see his father's bones. Imbedded in the middle of them was a small orb it glowed slightly. He picked it up. "Hi Dad," He said softly. He lowered the Coffin lid and then he sat next to the coffin and held the small orb close. He finally let the manliness go. He cried.

Later...

Phoebe looks at picture of her and Cole, while applying makeup. Wondering where he was. She had to find him. She had a hunch were he was. She wondered also what had become of Jason. Maybe that's where Cole had gone. But if he had gone some where to dispose of Jason she would be very angry. She got up, she was going to have faith and Cole. She stormed out of her room while grabbing a coat then she pocketed the picture. She grabbed a cute knit hat. She pulled it on then headed out of the house past Paige and Piper. She ignored they're questions. She walked down the street.

I Song Stops I

Jason woke up in a dark place. He looked around. It was rocky and there was a hint of red light coming from somewhere. "Hell?" Jason questioned to him self. "Your quite correct," A man said, "I'm Eyard an Avatar and this is hell" "I'm Dead?" Jason Questioned. "Oh God No," Eyard smiled. "God?" Jason Questioned, "You say oh god know in Hell?" "Well...um," Eyard said, "Never mind that," "What am I doing here?" Jason asked. "Because, Cole Turner, we know you met with him and fought," Eyard replied, "Although you didn't win, we believe you can with a little help and motivation," "Cole Turner," Jason repeated, "What do I get?" Eyard just smiled.
