CHAPTER 2 : MURDER IN BED.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Part 5.

Paige and Phoebe orbed in and Cole blurred in a cavern where Piper was being held in a cage and the demons were chanting a spell to take her baby.

"Cole!" – murmured Piper. Despite of her situation, she felt happy seeing him.

"Let her out!" – cried Paige.

One of two demons threw an energy ball at Paige, Cole flicked his hand changing its direction back to them and fired his one to them at the same time. Their shield activated protecting them in time. Phoebe jumped up to fight them but she wasn't able to kick them, Cole tried some more higher voltage energy balls, all of them couldn't penetrate the shield. Paige ran to check the cage, it didn't had a door or a lock. Piper paid most of her attention to Cole, seeing him being hit by several energy balls from those demons. He even covered Phoebe by his body to keep her safe while reaching the cage. Piper was glad that he's still able to heal himself. He stroke that cage with a huge energy ball, but it wasn't damaged a bit.

Two demons grabbed the cage and orbed out. Cole ran along the tunnels to trace them, Phoebe and Paige followed him closely. They searched for a while and the tunnel divided in two before them.

"Which way?" – asked Paige.

"Both. We'll split." – answered Phoebe, she tugged Paige running to a direction.

Cole looked after her. It's obvious that she didn't think much about that decision, she just chose Paige to go with her by feeling. She didn't want to be with him. He turned to the other direction.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Nooooooo. . ."

Cole heard Piper screaming on the other side of the wall. The demons were proceeding their ritual to take her baby's power by taking it out of her. He conjured the hugest energy ball he could to make an entrance.

Two next ones flew to the demons, they paused, their shield activated again. They didn't bother being attacked, but they didn't know how to dispose of Cole to finish their ritual. Meanwhile, Cole formed a flaming fireball, and threw it to the cage making an explosion. Piper was free, she ran to him. The demons fired both of them with energy balls by natural react since they did know they wouldn't get hurt. Cole held Piper in his arms and blurred out.

The couple blurred to another realm. It's daytime here. It's the first time Piper'd been in Cole's embrace, but she had a familiar feeling as if they'd got that close before. It reminded her when they'd held together on the horse running away in previous life. She leaned on him realising that's all she'd ever waited for.

Cole staggered once they materialized near a stream. She held him back.

"Cole!"

He looked tired, lacked of energy. Piper knew it's the effect of the potion. He'd been drinking it nearly a month. Suddenly, the demons shimmered behind him. He hoped to have a bit of time to get back his strength by blurring to that realm. But they caught him sooner than he wished. Orbing couldn't travel from realm to realm, the demons had to use their shimmering but they're demons who got whitelighter and witch powers making them move faster. They hit him two energy balls right after their body became steady. Piper immediately tugged Cole exchanging their positions and suffering those energy balls.

"Piper!" – stunned him.

He threw two large fireballs to them, their shield activated to protect them but it's broken up, they fell on the ground. The same-sized ones emitted from Cole's hands vanquished them.

"Piper?" – whispered him.

He's passing out on her arms.

"Cole! Cole!" – she helped him to lie down.

Paige and Phoebe found the fragments of the cage finally.

"He's rescued her." – cheered Paige.

"Where're they?" – asked Phoebe worrily.

"Home?"

"Let's go."

They orbed back to the Manor finding nobody there. Phoebe's more anxious.

"Orb to them." – ordered Phoebe.

"I can't."

"What? I think that's how your orbing works." – scowled Phoebe.

While all of demonic transportations moved to where they wanted to come, the orbing moved to who they wanted to see.

"Yes. But they're out of this world. I think they're in another world." – explained Paige.

Phoebe opened wide her mouth. She remembered the knife in their room at the hotel.

"Orb me to the hotel. I clear it up first." – said Phoebe.

Paige took her hand and orb them inside the room. Phoebe ran to the bed sighing of relief seeing the pillow still kept its position, she lifted it up and pulled out her knife.

"He hasn't noticed it." – said her.

"Has he? Piper's telling him." – said Paige.

"He won't believe her. I'm the love of his life, I have my way to persuade him."

"Good luck!" – smirked Paige.

Phoebe packed up her stuff.

"Change to his form. We're checking out." – asked her.

Paige turned to Cole's form, they walked out hand in hand.

Cole's lying on a large rock, his head on her thigh. Piper kept her position still, her hand held his one, she threw her look to the stream and recollected their floating boat, she couldn't describe how much she loved him. He loved Phoebe, her sister, but she knew he was originally hers.

"Cole!" – murmured her while tightenning his hand.

She wished he could remember their memories, she wished they could reunite together so that she would heal his broken heart. They're like who had amnesias and got lost from each other. Her love for Leo was real and honest, but it wasn't as deep as her love for him. If Phoebe had loved him as Leo loved her, she could've tried to suppress her love, but. . .

He blinked and opened his eyes. Realising the situation, he sat up.

"How long was I out?" – asked him.

"About a couple of hours." – talked Piper.

"Are you ok?" – both of them asked at the same time.

They stared at each other overflowing with a lot of feeling.

"I'm fine. So is my baby." – said Piper.

"Me too." – said Cole after few of seconds later.

"Thank you." – spoke Piper.

Cole just looked at her, a little surprised.

"You think I don't know how to say these words?"

"No." – his look seemed enigmatic – "I have to thank you for receiving those energy balls for me."

"Just because I knew they wouldn't harm me." – said her – "But when you gave yourself up to The Source for Leo finding me,"

She's speaking of when The Source'd taken her to manipulate her mind enticing her to cast The Charmed Ones' powers off. Leo hadn't been able to sense her, Cole'd had to expose himself to the bounty hunters and let them knock him out so that they'd brought him to where The Source and Piper had been in.

"You didn't know if you would survive." – continued Piper while looking at him intensely – "I never said thank you."

"No need." – he turned to evade her eyes – "I did it for Phoebe."

She paused a while.

"You should stay away from us."

Cole stood up looking to the stream.

"We don't really want you to live with us." – confessed her – "We want to poison you."

"I know." – said him in a low voice. Piper felt a piercing pain in her heart.

"That potion's colourless and tasteless. But my sense's sharper than you think." – said him.

"Why have you drunk it?" – choked her.

"I need the chance to prove that I never want to hurt all of you of my free will."

Piper just saw his back, but it's good for her, she wasn't brave enough to face him.

"If we don't believe you. . ."

"Then you can vanquish me." – answered him in impassivity.

Piper knew he's honest, he didn't want to live without Phoebe. He'd been trying to commit suicide, and they're giving him that opportunity. How should she dissuade him now?

"But it's just Paige and. . . Phoebe," – said him reluctantly – "You don't agree with them."

"How you know?"

"The birthday dinner, You prepared it, Phoebe doesn't know how to cook those food. My glass was clear."

"She's had a new plan. She wants to kill you on the bed when. . ." – sighed Piper, she felt uneasy speaking against her sister, although she's really dissatisfied with Phoebe that time.

"I've known it today." – Cole turned to looked at her – "I've seen the knife. That's the reason you broke us last night and tried to contact me all the day."

It seemed she just got another sharp stab on her heart. He knew, how should he suffer that pain. No one expected the danger on their own bed, while making love to the one they loved. Her tears were welling up, she wanted to share his feeling, comfort him, and give him her love, the love she'd kept for him for centuries.

"Is there anything else you know?" – blurted her.

His blue eyes gazed at her ardently making her melt. Unexpectedly, he stretched his arms out. . .

"He knows." – thought her.

Piper threw herself to his embrace immediately. She held him feeling his arms around her. He was hers, he was really hers. She rested on his chest while he stroked her long hair, and pressed his cheek on her head. Her tears were falling down, though she's smiling happily. . .
