A Heart's Cry
Chapter 3 & 4
Phoebe gasped.
"Are you alright?" Miles asked.
"No!" Phoebe gagged. "I have to go!"
"What? Already?" Miles questioned.
"I'm really sorry, Miles. I just remembered something. I have to go," Phoebe called out as she went to the door.
She drove straight to P3 and found that Piper was not at the bar.
"Oh my god!!" Phoebe exclaimed. She thought that Piper and Cole were already together. Phoebe went to the back room and quickly called out for Paige.
Paige orbed in seconds later disappointed. "What ever it is, can it not wait?"
"Fine! If you want Piper and Cole to sleep together than go ahead," Phoebe growled.
"What?"
"Yup! I just had a premonition of them together. I come down here and Piper's not here," Phoebe huffed.
"What? Are you kidding me?"
"I wish I was!" Phoebe practically growled.
"And Piper's not here?" Paige asked.
"She's not at the bar!"
"She could be in the bathroom. She could have stepped out," Paige said trying to excuses.
"Or she could be sleeping with Cole!"
Paige gagged. "Have you asked Jody?"
"Who's Jody?"
"The new assistant manager."
"No."
"Then you can't be sure. Let's go ask her."' Paige grabbed Phoebe and they headed towards the bar.
"Paige, I had a premonition!"
"Not all your premonitions have come true! This one could be from the future or past....
Phoebe purpled. If it was from the past, there was nothing she could do about it. "It could also be happening right now."
Paige got to the bar and waved Jody over. "Hey Jody!"
"Hey Paige. Phoebe. Busy night!" she said.
"Have you seen Piper?" Phoebe got down to the point.
"Yeah. Um...she left awhile ago. I don't know what happened. Leo came by and said something to her and she looked pretty pissed. Then some guy came up and she let with him," she said vaguely.
"Did you know how the guy looked?" Phoebe was turning purple.
"Yeah. Tall and dark, I think." Jody smiled. "Handsome, too."
Phoebe let her breath out angrily.
"I don't blame her. I mean who hasn't two-timed anybody. Besides we're all women and we've got our needs," Jody laughed.
Paige laughed nervously. "Thanks Jody. We'll see you around."
Paige and Phoebe walked back to the back room.
"What do we do know?" Paige asked.
"What do you think we do? Orb to Piper," Phoebe screamed. "I never knew Piper could be so slutty!"
Paige was taken aback. She never knew Phoebe could be like this. She never knew Piper could be like this. This family had some secrets!
"I'm not so sure, Phoebe. What if we walked in on something we didn't want to see? I'm sure Piper has a reasonable explanation," Paige tried to be calm.
"A reasonable explanation she sleeps with other men? Cole for that matter? Paige, orb now!!!" Phoebe screamed. And Paige orbed them.
----------
Cole slowly unzipped Piper's dress. He was going to savor every moment. Last time was too rushed. They were going to enjoy this. Piper was thinking the same thing as she slowly unbuttoned Cole's shirt revealing a sexy body underneath. Piper was shivering from Cole's touch. Never had she felt such tingles from a man's touch. Piper pulled out of her dress showing off her curves to which Cole's mouth fell open.
"What?" Piper laughed.
Cole just shook his head and kissed Piper. He started moving downward to her neck. Piper pulled her head backward and giggled.
"That tickles."
"Huh?" Cole said as he moved upward again to Piper's lips. There was so much emotion and passion in the air.
Cole gently pushed Piper backward until she was lying down. He took his pants off and was on top of her in seconds. Cole kissed her again. He moved slowly downwards as he heard moans escape Piper's mouth.
Suddenly the door burst open.
"OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU"RE DOING?" Phoebe bellowed into the room.
Paige came into the room, gagged, and turned away.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Cole shouted back at Phoebe. He was mad that he was interrupted. He and Piper wanted to be undisturbed, but Phoebe just had to come in. It seemed like something good couldn't last for too long.
"WHAT AM I DOING HERE? WHAT IS PIPER DOING HERE?" Phoebe screamed. She was shaking with anger.
Paige quickly threw towels at Cole and Piper. She couldn't stand this nakedness.
"Phoebe, hold on a second. Give them a minute to get their clothes and I'm sure there's a logical explanation for all this," Paige pulled Phoebe out. "I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this." She said to Piper and Cole as she closed the door. What was going on here?
"Well..." Piper said. She was quiet for a minute as she heard Phoebe screaming at Paige.
"LOGICAL EXPLANTION?? WHAT EXPLANTION IS THERE TO HAVE SEX??
Piper heard Paige quietly saying, "Let's give them a chance." Paige was trembling.
"There goes our chance. We better go head them on," Cole said gathering his clothes and giving Piper's hers.
"Actually, I should head them on. It's my fault," Piper said hastily pulling on her dress.
Cole stopped and looked at her. "It was never your fault. It wasn't mine either. Things have a funny way of playing out."
"Like Phoebe coming here? Like me being married? Like you in love with Phoebe and me with Leo? Things sure do have a way of working out!" Piper said sarcastically.
"Piper, that's not our fault—
"Look, we better go ahead and see them or they'll think something's up." Piper walked closer to Cole. He was buttoning up his shirt. Piper grabbed his hands. She moved them away and she started to button up his shirt. "For what it's worth, I am happy being with you." Piper finished the last button and placed a kiss on Cole's lips.
"But you're not in love with me, are you?"
"Neither are you in love with me," Piper said as she opened the door, still looking at Cole.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Some questions are better left unanswered." Piper turned at was met with a fist in her face. She stumbled backwards.
"PHOEBE? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU"RE DOING?" Paige screamed as she rushed forward to Piper. Cole beat her there. He caught Piper and saw that her lip was bleeding. Paige saw tissue and quickly came up and put it to Piper's lip.
Piper was about to say something, but Paige told her to hush.
"Phoebe, why did you do that?" Paige looked at Phoebe.
"Why don't you ask her what she was doing with Cole?" Phoebe huffed.
"Maybe it's none of your business," Cole said as he led Piper to the couch. Paige was still applying pressure to make the bleeding stop.
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS! SHE'S MARRIED FOR GOD'S SAKES!!" Phoebe yelled.
"Phoebe, we can discuss this calmly and rashly and without yelling," Paige said slowly taking deep breaths between each word. "Sometimes married people have hit a bump in the road."
"That doesn't mean that people can sleep around!!"
"Phoebe, we're being to hurried. Cole's right; this is none of our damn business and Piper can tell us in her own time," Paige said. Cole was surprised at how Paige was reacting. She was always the one to distrust him.
"Thank you, Paige," Piper said quietly.
Paige turned and smiled at Piper, but Phoebe was souring again.
"WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?" Phoebe yelled.
"Phoebe, leave Paige out of this. What ever's going on here is between me, Piper...and ...Leo. I don't see what you're getting so worked up about. We're don't even love each other anymore," Cole said.
"We don't?" Phoebe asked surprised. She tried to cover up her surprise. "Then why are you somehow involved in everything?"
"Because we pull him in," Piper said calmly. Her lip was starting to swell. "And I pulled him back in this time."
"What?" Phoebe asked.
Paige was even more surprised, but she remained quiet.
"Does Leo know?" Phoebe asked.
"No," Piper said.
"Then let's see how he reacts. LEO!!" Phoebe called out.
"Phoebe! No! Wait!" Paige cried.
"LEO!!!"
"Phoebe stop. You're being a....bitch," Paige was surprised to hear that come from her own mouth. Piper and Cole looked at her.
"What did you call me? I'll pretend I didn't hear that. LEO!" Phoebe called.
Leo finally orbed in. He saw that Piper was hurt and he quickly went to heal her.
"Piper, what happened?" Leo asked as he healed her.
"She was about to sleep with Cole for that matter!" Phoebe growled.
"WHAT?"
As soon as Piper's lip was healed, Leo slapped her.
"What's that matter with you?" Cole asked holding Piper closer. Paige held Piper's hand, still not believing that all this was happening.
"Piper, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to," Leo said.
"I'm sure you meant to," Piper said.
"Piper, please tell me what's going on?" Leo asked pleadingly. "Tell me what Phoebe said was not true."
"It is true. I had a premonition about it. Lucky I stopped it," Phoebe growled.
"You had a premonition about it?" Cole asked. He looked at Piper. She looked away from him.
"What the hell is going on here?" Leo asked angrily. He grabbed Piper.
"Let go of me!" Piper said. Leo was becoming enraged to see Cole holding Piper's other hand.
"Maybe it's time we tell them," Piper said looking at Cole.
"Tell us what?" Paige asked.
"The premonition Phoebe had of us was from a year ago," Cole said.
"WHAT?!"
Paige let go of Piper's hand, her hand to her mouth.
"How long has this been going on?" Leo asked angrily.
"It hasn't been going on for a long time. It was just once," Piper said tiredly. She didn't want to be here at a time like this. What she would give just to remain in Cole's arms forever?
Cole loved holding Piper like that.
"YOU LIARS!! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?" Phoebe screamed.
"You don't understand, Phoebe. Everyone was out of the manor that day. It was just Cole and me," Piper started explaining.
"And you guys slept with each other? Piper, how could you do that? To me? To us?" Leo asked. He was breathing very hard.
"Leo, I never meant to hurt you. Cole was helping me with something and we just got caught up in the moment."
"We regretted it afterwards, but there was nothing we couldn't do. We didn't want to hurt you guys, so we just kept quiet and tried to forget about it," Cole said. He could tell this was hurting Piper really bad.
"I've had enough of this. I'm going home. Cole, I can't believe you would go this low to get me back. You must have done something. Piper would never do something like this," Phoebe said shaking furiously.
"Phoebe, when will you realize that everything it not about you anymore. I DON"T LOVE YOU ANYMORE. I LOVE PIPER!" Cole immediately knew that was the wrong thing to say. Everyone looked at him. Including Piper. Cole saw confusion in her eyes.
"I think this has gone long enough. Let's go home. Piper," Paige took her hand.
"Paige? What are you doing?" Phoebe asked.
"What?"
"Paige, Piper isn't going home with us. She's got a new home with her lover Cole. She doesn't need us anymore," Leo said. He glared at Piper and then orbed away.
"Uh...uh..." Piper stuttered.
"Come on, Piper. We're going to go home and sort this out," Paige stood up and pulled Piper with her.
"Paige! NO! You heard Leo! Piper is not coming home. In fact, I don't even know who she is! My sister would never do such a thing!" Phoebe practically screamed.
"Phoebe, don't do this. Let's talk," Piper said calmly.
"Talk about what? How you trap men? How you got Cole? Are some kind of slut or something?" Phoebe shouted. Cole slapped her.
"How could you say that?" Cole asked.
Phoebe regained her composure. She was turning red from anger. "Come on, Paige!"
"But Phoebe—
"We're going Paige! Unless you want to lose another sister. I doubt Piper would want you to stay here. You'd probably be interrupting something," Phoebe said.
Paige looked from Phoebe to Cole to Piper.
"Go on, Paige," Piper said quietly.
Tears ran down Paige's face she took Phoebe's hand and orbed away.
"I'm so sorry, Piper," Cole said placing a comforting hand on Piper's shoulder.
Piper spun away from him. "Don't touch me! This is all your fault!" Piper cried.
"Piper, wait—
"Nobody asked you say anything. Nobody asked you to love me. How could you love me?" Piper cried as she gathered her things.
"Piper, wait! I don't know why I said that. It just came out. Piper please don't leave," Cole confronted her.
"Cole, let me go," Piper cried harder. Cole came closer and hugged Piper. Piper slowly buried her head into his shoulder and sobbed.
-------------
Paige and Phoebe arrived to the manor to find it all a mess. Glass was shattered. The couches looked as if they had been burned.
"LEO?" Phoebe called out.
It was followed by a shatter from the den. Paige and Phoebe ran to the den to see Leo picking up a photo frame of him and Piper and dropping it. Causing the glass to shatter.
"Leo, stop!" Paige cried.
Leo looked up. "Why?"
"It's all right for you to be mad, but this is not the way to deal with it. People do drastic things in their anger, regretting it. Why don't we talk it out?" Paige cried. "Phoebe, say something."
"Leo, I'm with you there," Phoebe said walking over to Leo.
"What?" Paige asked.
"I can't believe Piper would do something like that." Leo grabbed another frame and threw it against the wall.
"I'm sure there was a reason she did. Things happen for a reason. If we giver her the time to explain and talk this all out—
"Paige, stuff it." Phoebe dropkicked a glass case.
Paige sobbed. She put her hand to her mouth she stifled it.
"Whose side are you on?" Leo asked her.
Paige ran up the stairs just in time to miss a book that Phoebe had chucked in her direction. Paige ran to her room and fell onto her bed crying.
"I think something's wrong with Paige," Phoebe said sitting down on a broken couch.
Leo sat down beside her. "You don't think that was Piper's fault, do you?"
"She knew what she was doing," Phoebe huffed out.
"A year ago, Cole was also the Source. What if he had control over Piper?" Leo asked. He put his head into his hands.
"Then that wouldn't be her fault."
"So we have to save Piper from Cole, now. He could have her under a spell or something!" Leo got up.
"We have to save Paige, too."
"Why?"
"She's torn between something. Cole could have her under a spell, too. She could be fighting it," Phoebe got up, too.
"What are we going to do?"
"Vanquish Cole! That should break the spell."
"How are we going to do that?" Leo asked
"Power stripping potion," Phoebe said.
Phoebe grabbed a knife out from under her dress.
"And then we stab him," Leo said smiling.
"I'll go work on the potion," Phoebe ran to the kitchen.
Upstairs Paige was crying harder and harder, until no more tears would come out. She heard shattering and things breaking from downstairs. Then it all stopped. She came out of her room and slowly went downstairs and saw that Phoebe and Leo were in the kitchen. She saw that Phoebe was cooling some sort of potion and Leo was running his fingers along the blade of a knife.
"What are you guys doing?" Paige asked.
Phoebe looked up and saw Paige's tear-streaked face.
"Nothing."
Leo looked at Paige, too. Paige was getting uncomfortable under their stares.
"Are you feeling fine?" Leo asked.
"I feel fine. What are you guys doing? Are you making a potion?" Paige asked looking at Leo.
All of a sudden Phoebe came from behind Paige and knocked her unconscious. Phoebe dragged Paige to a chair and tied her up.
"What was that for?" Leo asked.
"Well, if she's under a spell, she'll be against us," Phoebe said as if that was obvious.
"Ooooh. I see what you mean. Is the potion done yet?"
"It needs to cool for a little bit longer."
------------
Piper slowly pulled away from Cole. She looked up into his eyes and saw blue eyes filled with love. He really loved her, but could she love him back?
Cole looked down at Piper. He saw her brown eyes filled with confusion. She doesn't love me, he thought. She never will.
Piper remembered how Cole stood up for her. Leo wouldn't give her a chance to explain. He slapped her without hearing her side. Piper choked back tears. She saw Cole's blue eyes boring into her. What was Cole looking for? What was she looking for? She already had love with Leo. Or did.
Piper looked for a minute longer at Cole. Cole was about to say something, but Piper put a finger on his lips. Cole closed his mouth. Piper leaned up and kissed him. Cole deepened the kiss. Maybe now they could finish what was started a year ago.
Piper reached for Cole's shirt, never breaking their kiss. Cole slowly slipped his tongue into Piper's mouth as he felt her unbutton his shirt again. Her touch ignited so much passion. Heck, they're tongues were dancing with fire.
------------
Paige finally came to. She heard Phoebe and Leo talking about someone under a spell. Paige was trying to figure out who. Then she heard it. They thought she and Piper were under a spell. They were going to vanquish Cole. Paige was about to say something, when she realized she was tied up. Paige tried to remember how she got here. She was asking Leo something and someone hit her from behind. Who? Phoebe?
Paige gasped. Phoebe and Leo looked up. Phoebe had the potion ready and Leo had the knife ready.
Phoebe walked over to Paige ready to strike her out again, but Paige orbed away and out of the ropes.
"Damn it!" Phoebe screamed.
"We better hurry or she may go warn Cole," Leo said grabbing Phoebe's hand. They grabbed several vials of the potion and orbed away.
----------
Piper finally pulled away.
"This is wrong," she said.
Cole sighed. How many times was she going to say this?
Piper realized how Cole was thinking.
"Not like that. This isn't the right time. Not now. You love me, but I'm not sure how I feel about you. I want us to do this when we're both ready and in love—
Paige orbed in.
"Paige? What are you doing here?" Piper asked.
Paige stumbled for a second.
"Are you all right?" Cole asked.
"NO! HURRY!! PHOEBE AND LEO ARE COMING HERE TO VANQUISH YOU. THEY THINK YOU HAVE—
Paige suddenly stopped. Piper slowly walked closer to her.
"Paige? Are you all right?" Piper got closer to her.
Paige slowly gasped as she fell forward onto Piper. Piper caught Paige and saw Phoebe behind her pulling out a knife from Paige's back and Leo appearing. Cole rushed forward.
"She's been stabbed!" Cole exclaimed.
Phoebe and Leo took a deep breath.
"What the hell do you guys think you're doing?" Piper asked. Cole gently took Paige from her and laid her on the ground.
Paige was still gasping and breathing in hard.
"Saving you from the spell you're under by vanquishing Cole," Leo said as he hurled the potion at Cole.
Piper put her hands to blow it up, but Phoebe knocked her down. Cole flicked his hands so the potion blew up.
"You know you can't vanquish me," Cole said to Leo.
"Don't bet on it!" Leo reached into both his pockets and drew out more vials. He hurled them all at Cole.
Piper pushed Phoebe away and tried to blow them up or freeze them.
Cole didn't have time to react.
Piper blew every vial up.
Leo looked at her. His eyes full of hurt.
"Looks like you ran out," Cole said to Leo.
"No," Phoebe said as she threw one last vial at Cole. "You always need a backup." She said to Leo.
Cole didn't have time to react. Neither did Piper. The vial hit him. Phoebe ran towards him and stabbed him.
"NOOOOO!" cried Piper. She ran over to Cole
Phoebe and Leo waited, but nothing seemed to happen.
"I don't think Piper was under a spell," Phoebe said to Leo.
"GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Piper cried blowing Leo up.
Leo's orbs reformed, but Piper blew him up again. He finally orbed away. Piper cried. Phoebe didn't know what to do, so she quietly let herself out.
Piper sobbed. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" Piper sobbed harder as she saw the two bodies. Life slowly leaving them. Paige's movements were becoming slower. And Cole was sputtering, "I love you, Piper."
Chapter 3 & 4
Phoebe gasped.
"Are you alright?" Miles asked.
"No!" Phoebe gagged. "I have to go!"
"What? Already?" Miles questioned.
"I'm really sorry, Miles. I just remembered something. I have to go," Phoebe called out as she went to the door.
She drove straight to P3 and found that Piper was not at the bar.
"Oh my god!!" Phoebe exclaimed. She thought that Piper and Cole were already together. Phoebe went to the back room and quickly called out for Paige.

"Uh...uh..." Piper stuttered.
"Come on, Piper. We're going to go home and sort this out," Paige stood up and pulled Piper with her.
"Paige! NO! You heard Leo! Piper is not coming home. In fact, I don't even know who she is! My sister would never do such a thing!" Phoebe practically screamed.
"Phoebe, don't do this. Let's talk," Piper said calmly.
"Talk about what? How you trap men? How you got Cole? Are some kind of slut or something?" Phoebe shouted. Cole slapped her.
"How could you say that?" Cole asked.
Phoebe regained her composure. She was turning red from anger. "Come on, Paige!"
"But Phoebe—
"We're going Paige! Unless you want to lose another sister. I doubt Piper would want you to stay here. You'd probably be interrupting something," Phoebe said.
Paige looked from Phoebe to Cole to Piper.
"Go on, Paige," Piper said quietly.
Tears ran down Paige's face she took Phoebe's hand and orbed away.
"I'm so sorry, Piper," Cole said placing a comforting hand on Piper's shoulder.
Piper spun away from him. "Don't touch me! This is all your fault!" Piper cried.
"Piper, wait—
"Nobody asked you say anything. Nobody asked you to love me. How could you love me?" Piper cried as she gathered her things.
"Piper, wait! I don't know why I said that. It just came out. Piper please don't leave," Cole confronted her.
"Cole, let me go," Piper cried harder. Cole came closer and hugged Piper. Piper slowly buried her head into his shoulder and sobbed.

Paige and Phoebe arrived to the manor to find it all a mess. Glass was shattered. The couches looked as if they had been burned.
"LEO?" Phoebe called out.
It was followed by a shatter from the den. Paige and Phoebe ran to the den to see Leo picking up a photo frame of him and Piper and dropping it. Causing the glass to shatter.
"Leo, stop!" Paige cried.
Leo looked up. "Why?"
"It's all right for you to be mad, but this is not the way to deal with it. People do drastic things in their anger, regretting it. Why don't we talk it out?" Paige cried. "Phoebe, say something."
"Leo, I'm with you there," Phoebe said walking over to Leo.
"What?" Paige asked.
"I can't believe Piper would do something like that." Leo grabbed another frame and threw it against the wall.
"I'm sure there was a reason she did. Things happen for a reason. If we giver her the time to explain and talk this all out—
"Paige, stuff it." Phoebe dropkicked a glass case.
Paige sobbed. She put her hand to her mouth she stifled it.
"Whose side are you on?" Leo asked her.
Paige ran up the stairs just in time to miss a book that Phoebe had chucked in her direction. Paige ran to her room and fell onto her bed crying.
"I think something's wrong with Paige," Phoebe said sitting down on a broken couch.
Leo sat down beside her. "You don't think that was Piper's fault, do you?"
"She knew what she was doing," Phoebe huffed out.
"A year ago, Cole was also the Source. What if he had control over Piper?" Leo asked. He put his head into his hands.
"Then that wouldn't be her fault."
"So we have to save Piper from Cole, now. He could have her under a spell or something!" Leo got up.
"We have to save Paige, too."
"Why?"
"She's torn between something. Cole could have her under a spell, too. She could be fighting it," Phoebe got up, too.
"What are we going to do?"
"Vanquish Cole! That should break the spell."
"How are we going to do that?" Leo asked
"Power stripping potion," Phoebe said.
Phoebe grabbed a knife out from under her dress.
"And then we stab him," Leo said smiling.
"I'll go work on the potion," Phoebe ran to the kitchen.
Upstairs Paige was crying harder and harder, until no more tears would come out. She heard shattering and things breaking from downstairs. Then it all stopped. She came out of her room and slowly went downstairs and saw that Phoebe and Leo were in the kitchen. She saw that Phoebe was cooling some sort of potion and Leo was running his fingers along the blade of a knife.
"What are you guys doing?" Paige asked.
Phoebe looked up and saw Paige's tear-streaked face.
"Nothing."
Leo looked at Paige, too. Paige was getting uncomfortable under their stares.
"Are you feeling fine?" Leo asked.
"I feel fine. What are you guys doing? Are you making a potion?" Paige asked looking at Leo.
All of a sudden Phoebe came from behind Paige and knocked her unconscious. Phoebe dragged Paige to a chair and tied her up.
"What was that for?" Leo asked.
"Well, if she's under a spell, she'll be against us," Phoebe said as if that was obvious.
"Ooooh. I see what you mean. Is the potion done yet?"
"It needs to cool for a little bit longer."
------------
Piper slowly pulled away from Cole. She looked up into his eyes and saw blue eyes filled with love. He really loved her, but could she love him back?
Cole looked down at Piper. He saw her brown eyes filled with confusion. She doesn't love me, he thought. She never will.
Piper remembered how Cole stood up for her. Leo wouldn't give her a chance to explain. He slapped her without hearing her side. Piper choked back tears. She saw Cole's blue eyes boring into her. What was Cole looking for? What was she looking for? She already had love with Leo. Or did.
Piper looked for a minute longer at Cole. Cole was about to say something, but Piper put a finger on his lips. Cole closed his mouth. Piper leaned up and kissed him. Cole deepened the kiss. Maybe now they could finish what was started a year ago.
Piper reached for Cole's shirt, never breaking their kiss. Cole slowly slipped his tongue into Piper's mouth as he felt her unbutton his shirt again. Her touch ignited so much passion. Heck, they're tongues were dancing with fire.
------------
Paige finally came to. She heard Phoebe and Leo talking about someone under a spell. Paige was trying to figure out who. Then she heard it. They thought she and Piper were under a spell. They were going to vanquish Cole. Paige was about to say something, when she realized she was tied up. Paige tried to remember how she got here. She was asking Leo something and someone hit her from behind. Who? Phoebe?
Paige gasped. Phoebe and Leo looked up. Phoebe had the potion ready and Leo had the knife ready.
Phoebe walked over to Paige ready to strike her out again, but Paige orbed away and out of the ropes.
"Damn it!" Phoebe screamed.
"We better hurry or she may go warn Cole," Leo said grabbing Phoebe's hand. They grabbed several vials of the potion and orbed away.
----------
Piper finally pulled away.
"This is wrong," she said.
Cole sighed. How many times was she going to say this?
Piper realized how Cole was thinking.
"Not like that. This isn't the right time. Not now. You love me, but I'm not sure how I feel about you. I want us to do this when we're both ready and in love—
Paige orbed in.
"Paige? What are you doing here?" Piper asked.
Paige stumbled for a second.
"Are you all right?" Cole asked.
"NO! HURRY!! PHOEBE AND LEO ARE COMING HERE TO VANQUISH YOU. THEY THINK YOU HAVE—
Paige suddenly stopped. Piper slowly walked closer to her.
"Paige? Are you all right?" Piper got closer to her.
Paige slowly gasped as she fell forward onto Piper. Piper caught Paige and saw Phoebe behind her pulling out a knife from Paige's back and Leo appearing. Cole rushed forward.
"She's been stabbed!" Cole exclaimed.
Phoebe and Leo took a deep breath.
"What the hell do you guys think you're doing?" Piper asked. Cole gently took Paige from her and laid her on the ground.
Paige was still gasping and breathing in hard.
"Saving you from the spell you're under by vanquishing Cole," Leo said as he hurled the potion at Cole.
Piper put her hands to blow it up, but Phoebe knocked her down. Cole flicked his hands so the potion blew up.
"You know you can't vanquish me," Cole said to Leo.
"Don't bet on it!" Leo reached into both his pockets and drew out more vials. He hurled them all at Cole.
Piper pushed Phoebe away and tried to blow them up or freeze them.
Cole didn't have time to react.
Piper blew every vial up.
Leo looked at her. His eyes full of hurt.
"Looks like you ran out," Cole said to Leo.
"No," Phoebe said as she threw one last vial at Cole. "You always need a backup." She said to Leo.
Cole didn't have time to react. Neither did Piper. The vial hit him. Phoebe ran towards him and stabbed him.
"NOOOOO!" cried Piper. She ran over to Cole
Phoebe and Leo waited, but nothing seemed to happen.
"I don't think Piper was under a spell," Phoebe said to Leo.
"GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Piper cried blowing Leo up.
Leo's orbs reformed, but Piper blew him up again. He finally orbed away. Piper cried. Phoebe didn't know what to do, so she quietly let herself out.
Piper sobbed. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" Piper sobbed harder as she saw the two bodies. Life slowly leaving them. Paige's movements were becoming slower. And Cole was sputtering, "I love you, Piper."
