Chapter 11

Phoebe saw the Mausoleum in sight. She walked steady to it. She remembered when Cole had said that it was the second safest place he knew. She knew that with her he felt the safest. She had felt so good when he had said that. The day had gotten foggier and now the Mausoleum looked like something from a horror movie. When she got to the door she opened it slowly knowing that in a few seconds she'd know if he was there or not; she prayed that he was. She walked down the small flight of stairs. It was pitch black except for a candle that had been burning for hours and a faint glow in the corner. Although she couldn't see much she could still see the dark figure holding the orb. She walked towards it. As she got closer she knew it was Cole. "Thank god," She said quietly. He was asleep. She kneeled next to him and touched his shoulder. He slowly stirred then he looked at her. "Phoebe," He said softly he looked down, "I'm sorry," "For what?" She asked. "You don't know?" he questioned, "What I did," She pulled her head back and said, "What did you do?" "I-I-I killed him," He said still looking down with tears in his eyes, "There had to be another way," "Jason's dead?" Phoebe asked in disbelief. He finally looked at her, "Yes... I killed him, he wasn't evil... he was just, He then said frustrated but not at Phoebe, "I don't know the word," "How?" She said. She then touched his arm Phoebe then had a premonition Jason Grabbed Cole by the neck and pushed him against the window. Cole grabbed Jason's hands. Cole tried to fight Jason off at first. Then Cole planted one foot to the floor, Cole dug his fingers into Jason's hands then moved his foot to kick Jason forward and out the window. He turned over Coughing from the lack of air he had had. Jason fell from the five-story building. Cole turned so he couldn't see Jason hit the ground. Phoebe returned from her premonition in total understanding of what had happened. "Oh," She Said before Cole could say anything, "I understand," "How?" he asked not knowing of her premonition. "It's that whole being a witch with premonitions," She replied. "Oh... So you saw it," Cole said unhappily, "I think now that Jason has some of my powers you can vanquish me," "What?" She asked Angrily, "Why would I vanquish you?" "Because I killed again," Cole replied. "Cole! I'm not going to kill you for that. Yeah I liked Jason and sure maybe he didn't deserve it but what you did..." She paused for a second then she continued, "Cole you were being attacked and you did only what you had too do! If you had done anything else he probably would have beaten you," "Then maybe I shouldn't have won," Cole replied not looking at her. "What?" Phoebe asked in disbelief, "No Cole don't even think that you didn't do what you had to. Jason may not have been evil but if he had killed you then he would have been, and that wouldn't be any better," She looks at his face sensing his self-hatred. She touched his face then said, "Cole, you have no idea how much I still love you now, I told Jason that, I told him that I didn't love him I loved you and I wasn't lying, I love you Cole Turner," He finally looked at her tears streaming down his face, "I love you Phoebe," She hugged him. "Everything's okay," She said hugging him tighter. The small orb in Cole's hand seemed to grow brighter with Cole and Phoebe's affection to each other. Phoebe noticed it then asked Cole, "What's that?" Cole looked at the orb in his hand, "It's my father's soul," "What? Is that possible?" She asked. "Yeah... Remember when I was sent to assassinate you and your sisters?" He said. She smiled slightly, "How could I forget?" He half smiled at her comment, "Well this is what they used to get me to do it, I finally got it when that guy Raynor made me kill that witch. I left it here with his body until I could figure out how to let his soul free," He laughed slightly then said, "I haven't had much luck," "Oh, well maybe the book of shadows knows something about it," Phoebe said, "Shall we go?" Cole replied with a yeah. They got up and walked out of the dim building. Phoebe took his hand in hers.

I Song- everybody hurts- REM I

The fog seemed to be lighter now that Cole and Phoebe were together. Nothing could tear them apart. Although it hadn't been a week yet Phoebe had already fallen in love with Cole all over again. Jason was gone now and he couldn't stop what they had no one could, Paige could insult Cole all she wanted. But it wouldn't stop how Phoebe and Cole felt about each other. It was weird Phoebe couldn't remember how she had ever hated this wonderful man. Although she had good reason but the reason to love him had always seemed stronger. They walked down the street where only cars would go by wondering why the heck anyone would want to be out of the house on a day like this. But Cole and Phoebe only thought of it as beautiful. I mean what's better then a gray sky and a such fog that you couldn't see your legs. Most people like the deep blue sky and a nice beach and yes that is wonderful but the fog is so beautiful and the sky has no hint of the average color of blue. It's unique, it's like the clouds are coming right to you. Cole took his hand from Phoebe, then he gently put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She did the same without hesitation. Rain fell down, which would soon over throw the fog. Cole looked to the sky as to let the rain wash the pain he was feeling away. Air seemed to finally seep into his lungs and made him feel like a full human again. But along with being a human comes unmistakable guilt. Cole looked down again and all the rain that had been on his face fell off. It felt to him as if it took forever before he could remember what him and Phoebe had talked about before. Cole couldn't remember the last time he had seen such heavy rain. Phoebe remembered rain like this, when her and her sisters had been turned into Goddess's and Leo had decided to become an elder. This rain couldn't compare with Piper's. Of course that had been with thunder and lightning. Now both Phoebe and Cole were soaked beyond the telling.

I Song Fades out I

When the two finally got back to the manor a storm of water fell from them. There soon was a lake around they're feet. Cole shook his head vigorously and water hit the walls. Phoebe couldn't help but laugh at this new activity then she mimicked him the best she could. Piper walks in getting hit by sprays of water coming from Cole and Phoebe. "Hey!" Piper yelled while putting her arms up to protect her face. Phoebe laugher while saying, "Sorry Piper," "So you found him I see," Piper noted. Phoebe turned to Cole and began to play with his hair, "Yes," she said with a childish tone. She spiked his hair in all directions. When she had finished her work Cole looked at Piper. "How do I look?" Cole asked. Piper couldn't help but laugh, she pointed to the mirror in the foyer. Cole walked over to it. He smiled and nodded at his extremely spiked hair. "Nice," He said to Phoebe, "I should wear it like this more often," Phoebe walked over and hugged him then said, "I know, that's why I did it like that... Wait" She then ran out of the room, Soon she came back with hairspray. She put a ton of it in his hair, "Now your hair will never fall down," Cole's smile turned into a grin. "What's wrong?" Phoebe asked. He shook his head, "Oh... Nothing," "Okay you both need to get dried off," Piper said poking Phoebe shoulder. Phoebe and Cole left Piper and Ran up the stairs.

The Attic dark and messy Cole slowed as he got close to the door. Phoebe walked through with out hesitation. She opened the book and flipped through the pages. It was a while before she found what she was looking for. "Here," She said grinning at him, "We have to call for his spirit," "I don't think Paige..." He started. Phoebe stopped him "No we call with a spell, We have to set up some candles say a little chant," "Any specific color for the candles?" Cole asked heading over to the Haliwell's candle box. "The same as the ones we use to call spirits" She shrugged. Cole grabbed them and set them in a circle. "Alright... Now what?" He asked. "Well it's the exact same spell as calling spirits so guess we light 'em then say the words," She replied. They lit the candles and Phoebe began the chant.
"Hear these words,
hear my cry,
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee.
Cross now the great divide" A small gust of wind and a man appeared inside the circle. It was Cole's father without a doubt, Phoebe recognized him from a premonition a few years back. Cole looked at the man then to the orb. The orb was dark nothing more then glass. He looked at his father. His father looked at him.

"Cole?" Benjamin asked, "My son?"

Phoebe got dressed in dry clothes. Cole was turned away so not to see her, he was happy he had finally met his father. "Oh come on Cole you've seen me naked plenty of times," She had said but yet he still was turned away. "Alright, I'm done," She said a while later. He turned around. He smiled with playfulness in his eyes. He ran and hugged her. She giggled because she was once again wet. He lifted her slightly and twirled around. They fell onto the bed laughing. There eyes met and the laughing stopped. "What's Wrong?" Phoebe asked. "Oh nothing... just," Cole started. "Just?" She questioned "Just when I was down in the underworld trapped I thought about holding you like this again everyday. I never thought I'd get the chance," She smiled and touched his cheek, "Well now that you have the chance to hold me like this what are you planning to do?" "Hold you like this every chance I get," He admitted with a sweet smirk. She grinned at him, "So how was it finally meeting your father?" She asked. "Good, at least I know half of me came from him," Cole retorted. "Yeah, he seemed like a good guy," She Inquired. The two kissed. Enter Paige: Paige walked in at this moment. "Ugh!" She groaned, "Phoebe! Am I the only one who remembers! This man he isn't good! He's evil," Phoebe and Cole stopped kissing and look at Paige. "I can't believe you Phoebe, you're the one who wanted to kill him so bad and now you have him back in your arms!" Paige yelled, "Can't he just stay dead for once," Phoebe and Cole got up off the bed. Paige kept going. "I mean he killed an innocent woman!" Paige explained, "Am I the only one who remembers this?" Cole looked away knowing that she was telling the truth. Phoebe just looked at Paige. "Paige," She said in a dark tone, "I suggest you get out," "You're defending him?" Paige raged. "She's right," Cole brooded, "you shouldn't stand up for me," "See he even agrees," Paige agreed. "Alright then the next time you get possessed by something I won't forgive you either," Phoebe said while storming out of the room. Paige and Cole looked at each other, Paige with anger and Cole with uncertainties. "I think we need to talk this tiff out," Cole interjected. "Or I need to vanquish you," Paige fumed. "Or there's that," Cole sighed closing his eyes, "But if your going to just make it quick," "Phoebe would kill me... But..." She thought out loud. "Paige... I'm sorry, but I think we need to work through this," Cole repeated. "Fine you want to talk we'll talk. So what's with the hair?" Paige asked. "Phoebe had a little fun," Cole said touching his hair, "So what makes you hate me so much?" "Your evil," Paige replied. "So... what could I do to change your mind?" Cole said rolling his eyes. "Why are you doing that?" Paige questioned. "Doing what?" Cole asked. "That shrink thing," Paige finished. "Psychology? I don't know, so the answer to the question?" "I don't know," Paige admitted while sitting on Phoebe's bed. "Well I know I don't deserve a who knows what chance, but can I try to be good and the second I get out of line vanquish me," he suggested.

Phoebe stomped into the living room to find Piper reading a book. Piper looked up from the novel. "What's up?" She asked. "Paige!" Phoebe fumed. "Oh no... not again!" Piper said setting her book on the coffee table. "Oh yes!" Phoebe stormed, she turned around to look for someone, "Where's Cole?" Piper jumped up, "I can't believe her!" The sister's head to the stairs, they both then stomp up the stairs.

"Fine... But it will take some time for me to forgive you for anything," Paige agreed. Cole Smiled. Then Phoebe and Piper stomped in. "Alright Paige Math..." Piper started, then being stunned by the two actually talking. "Hi," Paige said to the sisters, then she turned back to Cole, "But you get out of line," "Then I expect you to make me a not even a blink on the radar," Cole finished. Paige nodded and left the room Piper followed her. Phoebe smiled at him. "What did you say to her?" Phoebe asked. "Well I told her that if I ever was bad she could kill me without a fuss," Cole replied. Phoebe looked at him suggestively, "Well she'd better get the potion," "Are you implying something," He smirked. They kissed.
