CHAPTER 1 : PAST-LIVED LOVE.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Part 4.
Phoebe was working in her office. She opened an envelop and took out the letter, a premonition overwhelmed her.
A couple were in a bedroom. They're kissing each other passionately and going to make love. Suddenly the man heard a fluting and he ran out of there immediately leaving the woman in stun and disappointment. His eye turned in red and he kept walking unconsciously.
Phoebe calmed herself down and read the letter, the woman had written to her to confide that she's wondering what her husband's hiding from her. She knew firmly he loved her, but he sometimes left her in the evening and turned back in the next morning exhaustedly. He swore that he didn't know what'd happened. She asked Phoebe how she should do, her husband still kept his life and work normally and refused to see a psychiatrist. Phoebe understood she would handle that case in her capacity as a Charmed One. She called Paige.
"Check the book for someone that use a fluting to tempt the human and make his eyes turn red." – asked Phoebe.
"For what?" – asked Paige.
"I don't know anything else. Just try and call me back."
"OK."
About an hour later, Phoebe's phone rang while she's preparing to go out for lunch.
"Hello?"
"Pheebs, I've found nothing from the book. Your imformation's too little. Do you think we should call Leo?"
"No. Maybe he's busy now." – sighed Phoebe – "Ask Cole!"
"Yeah, so do it!"
"Not me! I'm having a lunch date. If I phone him now, he'll ask me to go with him." – refused Phoebe.
"Well, you two are well-matched!" – said Paige sarcastically – "Piper's going to talk to him."
"OK, talk later." – Phoebe hung up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the attic of the Manor,
"I'm Piper, his sister-in-law. Please put me through him!" – asked Piper on the phone.
She waited for a while before heard him.
"Piper?"
"Cole, hi! I want to ask you something about. . . demon."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know someone tempts people with a fluting and turns their eyes red?"
"Yes," – answered him after a few seconds thinking – "I heard a warlock named Erotis, she uses a flute to call her slaves who get the red eyes when hearing her fluting."
"Slave? She uses them for what?" – asked Piper.
"Kidnap virgins for her. You're going after her?"
"Maybe a man in town is her slave. I don't find anything in the book." – answered Piper.
"I'll take my lunchtime to go around and see if it's really her."
Piper heard Cole hanging up. She turned to Paige:
"I think Phoebe should talk to him. She's the one got this premonition." – she assumed Phoebe could describe it more details.
"She's got her lunch date." – shrugged Paige – "But she's already told us all she knew."
"Since when having lunch is more important than saving innocent?" – scowled Piper.
"When it's involved to Cole." – smirked Paige – "Come on! She just doesn't want to see him."
Piper sighed. Paige left the attic. Piper flipped through the book and happened to reach the page of the demon that she'd crossed to mark he'd been vanquished. It's when Prue'd just died, and she'd been hunting down demons around the town in fury. Phoebe and Cole had opposed her idea but they'd kept on helping her since they'd been afraid that she would've met danger being alone. They'd sharply agued there in a family quarrel at that time. Now they're very kind together but it's just false.
"If you insist on taking these suicide missions, you force me to be there because there's no way in hell I'm about to let Phoebe lose another sister."
It's Cole who's always willing to risk his own life to save his love Phoebe and her family. He had saved Piper several times and she's joining hands with his wife to kill him. Leo'd told he's insane, everyone considered he's dangerous. But if not what The Halliwells had caused to him, he wouldn't've ended up what he was now. Leo always reminded her of his betraying them to be The Source. When they hadn't found out he'd been The new Source, he'd had so many chance to kill them, but he hadn't. She had no idea that he'd been possessed, but he deserved a chance to redeem for all good things he'd done. Even if they had to vanquish him, he deserved an open and straight battle. She had agreed the plan since she thought her family was the top priority. Unfortunatly, Cole didn't had a family to stand up for him.
"I don't know if I'm doing a right thing." – murmured Piper to her baby.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cole blurred invisibly in a room where Jason Dean and a voluptuous woman were having lunch on the bed. She's feeding him with a small spoon and his hand was wandering on her body. Suddenly his cell phone rang.
"Jason Dean"
"It's me." – said the other side.
"Uh. . . uh!" – the woman was nibbling his ear.
"How about our lunch?" – said Phoebe, the woman on his phone, angrily.
"Oh, I forgot."
"You remember now. When will you show up?" – asked her.
"Nah, I'm having lunch here with the love of my life." – Jason dropped the phone and turned to kiss her woman.
A few minutes later she broke his kiss and took a vial out of her breasts. She poured the liquid to his wine and gave it to him. He grinned and emptied it without hesitance. They started to kiss again.
Cole blurred out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Phoebe came home in rage. She shutted the door with a bang and called out:
"Hello?"
"In here." – answered Piper from the kitchen.
"I thought you're with your date right now?" – asked Paige.
"Yeah. He's just left off me." – snapped Phoebe.
"Why?" – Paige again.
"I'd like to know why. He's with the bitch of his life now." – scolded her.
"What've Cole said about the demon?" – Phoebe changed the topic.
"Maybe a warlock, Erotis, he's checking if he's right." – replied Piper.
Cole blurred in.
"Phoebe!" – said him once he saw her.
"So what's going on?" – asked Phoebe.
"I guessed right. It's Erotis." – answered him.
"Care to elaborate?" – asked Paige.
"She's just got a humble position in the Underworld. She turns a few men into her slaves under a charm. Then orders them by a fluting to kidnap virgins for her. She makes a kind of philter from their hearts to seduce rich men. She's known as Eros here." - explained Cole.
"Eros? A model?" – asked Paige.
"Yes." – said Cole.
"She's got married three times. All of them ended dead. She's a millionairess now." – commented Paige.
"She's aiming Jason Dean who paying interested in The Bay Mirror." – Cole looked at his wife.
"Oh my God, he's under her charm." – gasped Phoebe.
"Pheebs!" – reminded Piper.
"I didn't want to expose myself in front of him." – continued Cole – "Moreover, I want to take care of her and everything at her cavern. Don't worry for her victims, they'll forget all the things once she's dead."
"It's supposed to be our job." – said Piper.
"It needn't the Power of Three. I can do. Although you're invincible, you're pregnant. It's not necessary for you to go." – resisted Cole.
"What're you going to do?" – asked Paige.
"I'll dispose of her, and turn the corpses into ashes and scatter them since they've been dead for a long time. We can't inform their family and the slaves will be in trouble."
"Do you think she's somewhat like The Siren?" – worried Piper.
"No. Her power doesn't rely on love." – answered Cole.
"Sound good." – concluded Phoebe – "OK, I back to work."
"Me too." – said her husband.
"Hey! We all haven't had lunch yet. Why don't you stay a little while to eat something?" – Piper pointed the clock indicating that they wouldn't be too late if being there a bit longer.
Phoebe agreed and took a seat, Cole followed her.
"I'm sorry that something isn't ready." – said Paige hinting she hadn't prepared the potion for Cole that lunch.
"Paige, I think it's enough." – Piper raised her voice.
Certainly, she and Phoebe knew what their youngest sister's talking about.
CHAPTER 1 : PAST-LIVED LOVE.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Part 5.
Cole and Phoebe were dancing at the P3. He had finished vanquishing Erotis successfully, it's obvious that he had no difficulty doing it with his powers. Piper's looking at them from the counter, she hoped they could turn back together and ignore the plan. Maybe she became more sentimental since she'd been pregnant. But she really didn't want to end the problem by killing Cole anymore.
"Phoebe, there's something you misunderstood about The Source and me. It wasn't my free will. . ." – whispered Cole to his wife.
"Cole, it's the past. Let bygones be bygones. I don't want to rake over the old ashes." – she cut him off – "We're trying to heal the wound, I'm afraid those bad memories will dig the hole between us larger if we still talk about it."
They stopped dancing, looking at each other, Phoebe hoped he would accept what she told, she wasn't interested in finding anything about them. The only thing she wanted was to get rid of him once and for all. She used to adore him extremely but she'd had him two years to savour, and it's enough, Jason's attracting her attention now. Unfortunately, Cole didn't have the empathing among a huge number of his powers. He just nodded, and took out a ring.
"So you'll wear it again. It's purified now." – suggested him.
"OK." – Phoebe took it and wore it to her finger.
He smiled, and they kissed each other. Piper felt glad to see them. Paige came to her.
"I go home." – Piper got her handbag and left. She didn't stay there until close hour as before. She needed to go to bed earlier, and Paige would take care of the club for her. She glanced at Cole and Phoebe the last time before going out. Paige followed her look and pulled a wry face seeing the couple were in each other's embrace sweetly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next evening, Paige was at P3, Phoebe's with Jason at his place, Piper's sleeping, and Cole's working at his and Phoebe's room. The dream came back to Piper again.
That time she didn't see she's running along the corridor, but she herself was running, she's trying as fast as she could, if not she would miss the last chance to see Cole. She's feeling clearly the death were separating them forever, and she still had so much to talk to him, she ran through many room and reached to him finally. He's lying on the ground, lifeless. . .
She knelt down and laid his head on her thigh.
"Cole!. . . Cole!. . ." – shouted her.
He opened his eyes weakly:
"Piper!" – whispered him.
He lifted his hand and she grabbed it immediately, his hand's cold but holding her tightly.
"Don't leave us, please! Our baby and I need you, Cole!" – sobbed Piper.
"Don't leave us. Do you hear me? Cole! Cole!" - her face's dimmed by tears.
"Piper!" – she's feeling he's holding her hand and called her name.
"Cole!" – murmured her.
"Piper, wake up! I'm here!" – answered him.
She opened her eyes and saw she's on the bed again, he's really grabbing her hand at that time. She pulled it out.
"Nightmare?" – asked him.
"Yeah."
"Are you ok? I'll take you some water."
"No, thanks. I want to find something to eat. I'll go to the kitchen."
Cole helped her leave the bed and blurred them to there.
"Thank you." – said Piper. She went to the fridge and brought out some pies and a glass of fruit juice.
"You want anything?" – asked her.
"No."
Piper tried to elude his eyes, she wondered how much he had heard, and why that dream turned back to haunt her. They'd never loved each other, why were they so close in her dream, she even told she's pregnant with him. It made her ashamed to face him. Actually she'd just wanted him to leave her alone when saying she would've gone to the kitchen.
"How about your morning sickness these days?" – asked Cole.
"I think that period's over. It's better now." – answered her.
"I wondered if Phoebe used to feel sick like that last… year."
Piper realised he wasn't easy to talk about it, he probably had no idea where his baby was after coming back. But he didn't had any chance to ask her.
"The Seer stole your baby from Phoebe to take the throne. But he destroyed her and the council and. . . himself."
His eyes were moist with tears, he pushed his chair out and stood up walking to the living room silently. At last Piper had her own space, but Cole was being hurt, and she understood it thoroughly, she's going to be a mother, it made her feel his feeling exactly. She'd never seen Phoebe mourning for her baby since all of them had thought he'd been Lucifer's spawn. But now his father was distressed for losing him. She didn't know whether she should share the sorrow with him, she's a Charmed One, and the baby'd been evil. There's always a wall between them, she and her sisters were good, and Cole was evil. She surprised that she still kept that thought in her mind after all sympathies she'd grown for him. She'd had a prejudice against him for a long time. Learning to accept him wasn't easy.But how come she had to learn, her family didn't intend to take him in permanently.
About an hour later, Piper got out of the kitchen seeing Cole still sitting on the couch in the living room. She came to him.
"Perhaps it's his destiny. You two remain a lot of chance to have children."
She sat down and gripped his hand tightly. It seemed that the dream had got her close to him, he looked at her in misery. Although everyone said he's dangerous, Piper's seeing he's so emotional.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoebe was dressing in her room, she took her bedgown off and put her blouse on, while she's managing the zip which set behind her back, Cole came to help her.
"Thanks!" – said her, she continued with the skirt.
"Phoebe! Are you free tonight?" – asked Cole.
"Huh? Uh, maybe not. I'm having a lot of work." – refused her. She didn't date Jason that night, but she's planning to find someone new at P3.
"On Sunday night?"
"Yeah!" – insisted her - "Let's go!" – she grabbed her bag and left the room.
They entered the kitchen for breakfast.
"Hi, guys!" – cheered Phoebe.
Piper glanced at Cole, he looked so bad. Paige offered him a glass of orange juice.
"Thanks!" – stammered him.
They just talked something together and Cole's the first one left the table.
"What's up?" – asked Paige after he's out.
"How should I know." – answered Phoebe.
"Do you think it's time to test again?" – suggested Paige.
"Too early." – said Piper, she wanted to delay it – "Phoebe, is his birthday in January?"
"Yeah, nineteenth!" – she took a full spoon – "Oh my God! Today is nineteenth?"
"That's why he looks so wry." – fleered Paige.
"So what's your plan?" – asked Piper.
"Which plan?" – questioned Phoebe.
"Phoebe, you won't want him to be mad right in your house." – reminded Piper. In fact, she wanted her younger sister to do some thing to perk up him.
"OK. So I have to go now to spare the night for him." – said Phoebe – "Piper, could you prepare a private dinner for us?"
"All right!" – promised Piper.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night. . .
Phoebe rushed through the door and walked straight away to the kitchen.
"Am I late?" – asked her.
"No. He hasn't come home yet." – answered Piper.
"Thank God!" – she looked the dinner with candles were ready on the table – "And thank you!"
"Where's the gift and the cake?" – asked her.
"Over there!" – Phoebe had phoned Piper to help her get them since she had been unable to take care of them as planned. She looked toward the direction Piper pointed and picked the present up. It's look lovely.
"Very perfect!" – smiled her.
"OK, I go." – Piper went out.
"Hey! Which his glass?" – Phoebe called after her. She thought the glass for Cole had the potion as usual.
"Left." – answered Piper, actually she didn't soak any glass in that potion.
Phoebe made up again and changed clothes.
Cole entered the house and found it's silent. He looked through the kitchen and saw his Phoebe wearing a black dress standing in the shimmering of candle light.
"Hey, baby!" – smiled her.
He's amazed, then grinned. It really warmed his heart.
"Happy birthday to you. . .
Happy birthday to you. . ." – sang her.
He hugged her passionately.
"Thank you! I thought you'd forgotten." – whispered him.
"How so?" – wheedled her.
She tugged him to the birthday cake with a bright candle on it.
"Say your wish and blow it." – proposed her.
"I just have only wish." – smiled him – "I wish to gain your trust again."
"My trust for you is growing." – she caressed his cheek, her eyes looked very seductive.
They kissed each other deeply, his hand started to fondle along her back. She pushed him back, grinning:
"Dinner!"
They turned back to the table, she quickly chose the right seat.
"Out of patience?" – asked her while they're eating.
"Huh?" – suddenly he remembered the moment ago and laughed.
She laughed too, then held his arm:
"Please give me a little more. We still have a lifetime to enjoy it."
"OK." – murmured him.
