Chapter-3 Sore To The Eye
It was a couple days after Phoebe and Cole had their dinner together. Cole had actually been dreading the anniversary day of when he got the gate. He was afraid that thinking of Kara would feel too painful to bear. But spending it with Phoebe allowed him to remember his daughter as someone to always remember not someone to mourn over.
He smiled to himself, as he sat in his office at his law firm. Since he was one of the top lawyers, his schedule was very flexible which allowed him to vanquish demons, and his work was easy enough. Since he had demonic powers, he was able to tell if a human was lying or if they were guilty of something. He was looking over a file for a case, when suddenly his eye started to itch like hell.
"Ah, what the hell." Cole said, as he began to rub it. He couldn't have pink eye because he had his powers. Suddenly, he realized that the eye that was irritated was the one that held the gate. It became even more irritated, and then it stopped.
He sat there, wondering what had happened. 'Was it just dust that got in my eye? Or was it the gate?' he thought, trying to find an explanation for the irritation of his eye. He shrugged and turned back to his file on his desk.
A week later:
"Ah, dammit." Cole muttered as he walked back to the living room in his penthouse. Phoebe had come over to visit him and catch up.
"What's wrong Cole?" Phoebe asked, when she felt this little annoying feeling through their connection.
"What? Oh, it's nothing. It's just this stupid little irritation that I've had all week." Cole said, taking his seat next to her on the couch.
"Really, what's wrong?" Phoebe asked, seeing that something was bothering him.
"It's just that the irritation, it's coming from the eye that is holding the gate." Cole said, voicing his worry to someone.
"Hmm. Do you want me to ask Leo about it when I get home?" Phoebe asked, now worried because the gate never did this previously.
"Well, I guess so, just to be on the safe side." Cole said as he let out a sigh.
"So, how have you been the past week?" Phoebe asked, after taking a sip from the cup Cole had handed her. "
Oh, I've been fine. You know, trials, cases, murderers, the common demon, you?" Cole replied, smiling a little.
"Yeah, it's been a pretty boring week. You know I just realized that normal people wouldn't be casually inputting 'demons' in their conversation." Phoebe said smiling back at him.
"You know, I was just thinking the same thing." Cole replied. They smiled and talked to each other a little while longer. They discussed the events of their week, and their plans for the weekend. It had been almost an hour, when Phoebe cut their conversation sadly.
"Wow, we were talking for quite a while." Phoebe commented, glancing at her watch.
Yeah, it seems we did. Come over any time, okay?" Cole said, accompanying her to the elevator.
"Of course. Hey, and I'll ask Leo about the gate thing." Phoebe said, turning around slightly so she could see into his eye. She noticed that it was slightly red around the eye.
"Oh, thanks." Cole answered, noticing her inspection of his eye.
"It's fine Phoebe." Cole said unexpectedly. He had felt the concern through their link as well through her eyes.
"All right Cole, I'll take your word for it. Call me if it gets any worse, okay?" Phoebe said, reminding him he could always call her.
"Sure, I will." Cole answered, as the door to the elevators slid shut. He went to the living room and cleaned up their glasses and a few wrappers from a couple candy bars. All of a sudden, pain shot through his eye. He dropped the glasses, which shattered against the floor. His hand flew to his eye where the pain was overwhelming. He dropped to the floor, still covering his eye, afraid that anything outside would hurt him more.
At the manor:
Phoebe had arrived about 10 minutes later from Cole's penthouse. She really enjoyed the talk she had with him. She called out to see if anyone else was home.
"Piper, Paige, Leo? Anyone home?" Phoebe called out.
"Yeah, hi honey." Piper said, as she walked in from the kitchen. Leo followed behind her and was carrying Melinda.
"Hey Piper, Leo. Hi Melinda." Phoebe said to her niece. She simply babbled in response and tucked her head back into her father's shoulder.
"So, how was your visit to Cole?" Piper asked, her tone neutral.
"It was fine. Oh, you reminded me. Leo, could you go find out something about the gate? For some reason, it's been irritating Cole's eye lately, and I said I'd ask you to see what you know." Phoebe said, turning to Leo.
"Oh, sure. I'm just going to put Melinda into her crib." Leo said, as he carried his daughter to the nursery room up stairs.
Cole's penthouse:
It had been almost 15 minutes, when the pain finally subsided into a dull throb. When he picked himself up from the floor, where he'd been rolling around in pain, he found that pieces of glass had stuck to him.
When he looked into the mirror of his bathroom, he saw that his eye was almost completely red, and the pupil was like a dark red instead of black. After changing, and removing the glass from his skin, he decided to blur to the manor.
At the manor:
Cole blurred in, just when Leo was about to orb out.
"Cole!" Phoebe exclaimed, startled that Cole had come so soon.
"Cole." Piper stated without emotion. She still didn't trust Cole, but had to at least tolerate him.
"Phoebe, my eye, it just hurts now. My vision is a little blurred in that eye." Cole said, with pain edging his voice. Phoebe looked closer at Cole's eye, and saw that he was almost completely bloodshot through his eye. His pupil was a different shade of color than it should be it was somewhat red, blood red.
"Leo, could you go up there and find out what's happening?" Phoebe asked scared now. She guided Cole to sit on the couch, because he wasn't quite walking straight due to his eye.
"Do you want anything?" Phoebe asked, as she absentmindedly stroked his hair comfortingly.
"No, I just want this feeling to go away." Cole said, as he clutched his face. He bent down and curled up in a guarding position.
"What is going on here?" Paige asked as she came in the room. When she spotted Cole, she was about to start orbing things at him. She then saw Phoebe next to him, and he was in a curled up position. So she decided to ask instead of throw.
"Something's going on with the gate that Cole has." Piper answered, when she saw that Phoebe was to busy trying to help Cole.
"Yeah, so how does that explain why he's here." Paige said, hatred tinting her voice as she indicated Cole.
"Well, Paige, where else was he supposed to get help with that gate? Up 'there'?" Phoebe said angrily as she heard Paige's voice.
"Oh, whatever. So, what happened?" Paige said in a bored tone.
"I don't know, pain started to shoot through my eye, and then it was too much so I fell to the floor. After that, when I was able to stand, I came here." Cole answered. He had sat back up, but he was still feeling that dull throbbing ache in his eye. Discomfort was written all over his face, and he didn't have the energy to hide it.
"Well, did Leo go to ask what's wrong?" Paige asked, not wanting to really help.
"Yeah, he already left, shortly after Cole arrived." Piper informed her youngest sister.
"Okay, so tell me when he gets back. I've got to go get something." Paige said as she brushed past Piper and headed up the stairs. Phoebe felt the struggle that Cole was feeling and it hurt her more. Suddenly, blue orbs appeared, and Leo came from them.
"Leo, that was quick. So, what's wrong, what's happening with the gate?" Piper asked her husband, worried about the gate.
"Well, I don't know." Leo replied, struggling to hide something.
"What do you mean you don't know? Why'd you come back then?" Phoebe asked, standing up. Cole got up too, but a little more slowly.
"Because, I brought someone who does know what's going on." Leo stated.
"Oh, and who might that be?" Cole questioned. His eyesight was a little blurry on his right eye, but he could still see clearly through his left. Phoebe raised a questioning eyebrow at Leo, as she pondered whom the Elders would have sent. Leo stepped to the side, letting the girl be shown. Piper, Phoebe and Cole gasped, when they recognized who it was.
The girl was wearing what she had been wearing the day they first saw her. She had on a dark blue T-shirt, and black pants. She still had raven black hair, golden tan, and piercing blue eyes. Her voice had remained the same, even after a year as they all remembered her.
"Hi, mom, dad." Kara said, a broad grin spreading over her face.
