CHAPTER 2 : MURDER IN BED.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Part 3.

Phoebe walked to Piper's room and knocked at her door angrily.

"Piper!. . . Piper! Come here!" – shouted her – "You can't live in there all your life."

The door opened and Piper got out, she ignored her younger sister walking downstairs. When she came to the living room, Paige entered.

"What do you want, Piper?" – asked Phoebe when she running down – "Now you team up with Cole to ruin my life?"

"You know I don't. But I won't let my sister kill her husband in this house." – retorted Piper.

"Hey, where's he?" – asked Paige.

"I'm not stupid to cry this aloud if he's here." – fumed Phoebe – "And where were you, Paige? If you'd kept an eye on her. . ."

"I'm not a kid or a prisoner, Phoebe." – interrupted Piper – "I'm your sister, I don't allow it happen. You can kill as a witch vanquishes a demon, you have no right to kill as a wife kills her own husband."

"He's the very demon I've ever known." – Phoebe clenched her teeth.

"I'm wondering. . ." – intervened Paige – "Why did it take you so long to stab him, Phoebe?"

"I have to wait the right time. If I did it early, my plan's failed."

"It's failed now." – commented Paige.

"You're so sick! Do you know how they call this action? It's make love. You know what it means?" – asked Piper – "You're easy-going to make it to every men you meet. That's why you can't understand its meaning."

"Piper!" – Paige pulled a wry face.

"OK. I'm a slut, and you're a saint. We don't need to look at each other from now on." – Phoebe stomped up the stairs, but paused in midway – "Don't waste your time to try to warn him. I've already told him you want him. He'll never believe you."

Piper seemed to blush for hearing her sister's words. The reason she gave her sister wasn't true, she resisted to kill Cole not because he's Phoebe's husband, but she loved him. Paige opened her mouth, she didn't think Phoebe would say about Piper like that. She intended to call Phoebe back, but she thought it would be better if they talked after their anger reduced.

"Piper!" – called Paige, seeing her oldest sister being dumbfounded.

"No. I want to be alone." – stopped Piper.

Paige's about to step up.

"Paige! Am I wrong?" – asked Piper.

"Totally." – answered her.

"Cole's saved all of us more than one. We owe him." – persuaded Piper.

"That's why we accepted him to get married to Phoebe. And now we're in big trouble." – argued Paige – "Piper, when you said good bye to Dan, he respected your decision and left you then. You can't understand how annoying your ex's stalking you. But I have experienced that, my ex's just a mortal but I couldn't stand him. So I'm deeply sympathy to Phoebe with Cole-stuff."

"Have you ever experienced loving someone and risking your life to save him and his family, then all of that family were of one heart to kill you?" – questioned Piper.

"He isn't this innocent, he's evil." – emphasised Paige.

"You're being evil too."

"Piper, don't let him break our bond." – Paige shook her head – "Everything will end tomorrow. We'll talk later."

She left. Piper sighed, she realised she'd stood up for Cole absolutely. But it wasn't just because of her past memories. She had felt guilty for cheating on him in the first place. It'd made her pay much attention to him than before, she saw him trying to fit in the family, proving his good will, and always willing to help them. It reminded her of the past, he had been a big help for them until he'd become The Source. He had tried to kill her and Paige, but he had tried to keep the Power of Three and saved Paige too. "If I were Phoebe, I would give him another chance." – thought Piper. Her baby was a pacifist, the baby had influenced her mind and shown her a different way to judge the things. She's seeing everything objectively and clearly from many aspects. She saw Cole wasn't as purely evil as they'd thought. He needed support to be good. He needed a hand stretching out to him, but she couldn't help him. She's considering him as an ex lover that she still loved so much, but each of them had their own spouse now. The feelings when they'd been on the boat still hung around her. The love for him was still intact in her heart.

It's too late now, she'd been married, but maybe in next life. . . "I'll keep my belief." – promised her. She didn't confuse her lives. Three of her lives had been unstopped, and merging into one life with three phases. She had loved Dan more than Leo in second phase, and chosen Leo over Dan in current phase. If she'd done the contrary, she could've still found happy in someway. They couldn't compare to Cole, she easily chose one of them since both were not Cole. "I have to do something. You have to be alive, Cole!" – whispered Piper.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Piper tried to phone Cole from the morning to the afternoon but his secretary always said he'd got out. She tried his cell phone, she even called his name loudly as the way she'd called Leo, maybe he didn't hear her, he never answered.

"Piper, I'm waiting for a phone, but you're monopolizing it." – complained Paige.

"You know where he is." – said Piper.

"How should I?" – protested Paige.

"So I have to use it." – Piper raised the phone in her hand.

"Fine, he can call to my cell."

Piper glanced at the clock and picked her handbag, preparing to go out.

"Where're you going?" – asked Paige.

The phone rang at the same time.

"Answer your phone." – said Piper when she opened the door.

Paige grabbed the receiver.

"Hi. . . Chris?" - cheered her merrily hearing the voice of the man she'd just met last night.

She lets Piper go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Underworld, Chris is with two demons after talking to Paige on the phone.

"The Dreamer you sent were good at nothing." – commented him.

"You're the one who've suggested us to use him first." – snapped one of those demons.

"Yes." – Chris looked straight at them – "But you sang the praise of his talent too much."

Two of them observed the expression on his face, Chris looked so young, but self-confident, and extremely powerful. The Source of All Evil had been nothing in comparison with him. They recollected when they'd first met him.

---------------------------------------------------------- Flash back -------------------------------------------------------

Chris orbed in their cavern,

"Hi, buddies!" – greeted him.

"Who are you?" – asked one of them.

"Whitelighter!" – said the other one. He sent an energy ball to him, but Chris just stood still bearing it. They gaped seeing it disappeared once hitting his chest.

"I'm not your enemy." – smiled Chris wryly – "I come to help."

They watched him sceptically.

"You want the throne. I'll help you to take it." – continued Chris.

"Who are you? And what's your purpose?" – asked them.

"It isn't important who I am. Of course I have my own goal, but I think you want this throne at all costs?"

"What we have to do?"

"Steal an embryo, you used to do it once. This embryo'll give you more strength since it's the one of the oldest Charmed One." – answered Chris.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"They're strong, the Dreamer couldn't finish his job." – said one of two demons.

"This time you're doing it by yourselves." – ordered Chris.

When they're about to open their mouths to protest, he continued:

"I know they're stronger in the real life with the Power of Three and that Cole Turner's willing to help. But you absorbed the powers of a half whitelighter/half witch embryo."

"Yes. We've got the power of orbing and healing. But we're afraid that we're totally dead before having a chance to heal ourselves."

"That's why you have to upgrade your powers." – smiled Chris scornfully – "I'll give a magic shield to protect you from all their powers."

He chanted a spell and a shield appearing around them, it disappeared then.

"You'll get it permanently after stealling this embryo." – said Chris.

"Will it protect me from Cole's?"

"Sure." – assured Chris – "I need you to do it tonight."

"Why?"

"If not, our alliance's broken up." – he orbed out ignoring their question.

CHAPTER 2 : MURDER IN BED.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Part 4.

Piper came to the law firm "Jackman, Carter & Kline" where Cole's working for to see him. She found the door had the plate "Attorney Cole Turner" with no difficulty. When she's about to open it, a woman called her:

"Madam, may I help you something?" – asked her.

"No. I've found the right door." – answered Piper.

"Uh, I'm afraid that Mr. Turner isn't here at the moment."

"When will he be back?" – frowned Piper.

"I think he won't come here today. Would you like to make an appointment?"

"Really?" – Piper rotated the knob and pushed the door out.

"Oh!" – gaped his secretary, but both she and Piper saw nobody inside.

"I told you he's not here." – repeated the secretary. The fact was Cole'd asked her to say that to Piper as well as refuse her calls. So she thought Piper would see him if she opened his door.

Piper walked into his room, looked around disappointedly. She didn't know where she would find him, his penthouse was empty too.

"Where're you?" – murmured her.

She walked out silently in despair. His secretary closed the door again and looked after Piper.

Cole turned into visible again. He came near the window looking out.

---------------------------------------------------------- Flash back -------------------------------------------------------

In a village, a local man threw an apple peel to a bucket of water.

"Why can this peel divine it?" – asked Cole.

"Apples are the fruit of knowledge." – replied the local man.

They gazed at the peel and it formed to the shape looked like the letter "P".

"P. The name of your true love begins with a P."

"I don't know any girl had the name begins with P."

"Not yet." – smiled the man.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He thought his true love was Phoebe, since her initial was P, and the name of her true love began with C, his initial. He never doubted he might have been wrong.

"I do love you, and I always will." – said Phoebe.

Cole turned back to his desk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Piper and Paige were having dinner together, actually Piper couldn't eat anything. She's in a state of anxiety. If she did nothing, Cole would be dead.

"Come on, Piper! You have to eat not only for you. You're carrying your baby. Are you sure he didn't put a spell on you?" – said Paige.

Piper glared at her sister.

"What will he do if a demon attacks Phoebe right now?" – asked Piper.

"He'll vanquish it. But it doesn't mean we'll be killed without him. We're the Charmed Ones. We're strong enough to save ourselves. We don't need him." – answered Paige.

"Everything's easier with his help. Such as Erotis, and The Dreamer."

"He isn't always help, he's trouble too." – defended Paige.

"You're mistaken. I'm not talking we may use him for our sake. I think our tasks are not only vanquish demons, but also help who being mislead back to the right way."

"Piper," – sighed Paige – "I'm too tired of what you keep talking endlessly. I told you several times that we'd helped him before. Maybe he's already been vanquished now."

She stood up and left the kitchen.

---------------------------------------------------------- Flash back -------------------------------------------------------

"You've helped us before, and we've helped you." – said Piper when she's asking Cole to save Phoebe who turning into a Banshee.

"Oh, is that what you were doing when you called me this morning. Helping me? Or trying to vanquish me?" – smiled him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Feelings like that don't just die, Cole."

Piper heard her own words resounding. She'd always believed in his love for Phoebe, in the other word she'd always believed in the power of love. Maybe Phoebe was unfair to him, or broke up with him, Piper believed he wouldn't blind his eyes to her while she's at the peril of her life, since love was strong and permanent. However, that love hadn't existed in Phoebe, Phoebe's love was soon ripe, soon rotten. But Cole loved her by that love, and it made her unpleased.

Suddenly two men orbed in, smiling evilly.

"Who are you?" – asked Piper.

A man formed an energy ball and threw it to her, but it wasn't able to harm her. Her baby healed her from inside. They exchanged their looks satisfactorily. Piper'd never seen someone could orb and throw energy ball before.

"Paige, demon here!" – shouted her. She tried to blow them up but a magic shield appeared around them hindering her power. Paige orbed in time to see it. Piper freezed them but nothing happened. The other man threw an energy ball to Paige.

"Energy ball." – called Paige. She returned it to him but it disappeared hitting the shield.

Each of them came to each of the sisters. The one came to Piper just grabbed her and orbed out. The other fighting Paige to keep her far from her sister orbed out right after his partner'd left.

Paige gasped. She orbed to Phoebe, hoping Cole's still alive. They had to ask him to save Piper.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cole walked out from the bathroom, just wearing a towel. Phoebe'd refused to have a bath with him again. She's sitting on the bed, smiling:

"Come here!" – said her.

He's going to push a pillow back to take a seat, but she put her hand on it, and pointed him the other side.

"When will I come home?" – asked Cole.

"Tomorrow." – said Phoebe - "I'm afraid that you won't be alive to come." – she thought to herself.

"Is she really ok?"

"Yeah! Everything's ok now." – grinned her.

"How did she tell you?" – asked him warily.

"Nothing important. She's had a row with Paige, and wanted to talk to me, but because I didn't answer the door." – lied Phoebe.

He thought about his wife's answer. He knew she's telling lies. If she didn't know anything, why didn't she talk she didn't know? And if she knew. . .

Phoebe cut his thought by kissing him. he still didn't feel aroused to respond it eagerly.

Paige tried to be polite by orbing in the front room and knocking the bedroom's door.

"Phoebe!" – called her.

"Oh my God!" – Phoebe opened her eyes. She pushed Cole away and stomped off.

"Are you kidding me?" – shouted Phoebe after pulling the door out.

"Two demons have taken Piper." – answered Paige.

"What?" – said Phoebe angrily – "Are you sure she didn't give herself up to them?"

"No, Phoebe. She's fought them, but they're immune to our powers." – retorted Paige.

"What are they?" – asked Cole.

"Are there half demon half whitelighter?" – Paige stared at him recognizing he's so hot in his situation.

"You're saying they can orb and throw energy balls?" – asked Cole.

"Correct." – said Paige.

"I'll get them." – he stood up.

"What are they?" – asked Phoebe.

"No time to explain. They want Piper's baby. You two come home and wait there. I'll deal with it myself."

"Fine for me." – said Phoebe.

"Oh no. We'll go with you. We won't be your burdens, we may help somehow. It's better than letting you and Piper alone." – when she said the last sentence, she stared at Phoebe.

Phoebe got what her sister's implying, they couldn't give Piper a chance to disclose their plan.

"Uh, I think I'm angry with her, but she's my sister after all. I'll be on her side in peril." – said Phoebe.

Cole nodded swaying his fingers and Phoebe's well dressed as she'd first come there. She touched Paige:

"Let's go." – they orbed out. She had to make certain Piper wouldn't have a second with Cole without her.

Cole looked them turning into orb dust and disappeared. He picked the pillow up and threw it away. A sharp knife was revealed. . .

A/N: It's the ending for Cole/Phoebe relationship !!!
