Phoebe watched as Leo orbed back to the Manor after Cole came sprinting down the dark runnel. "Cole what's wrong?" Phoebe asked as she put her hands on his chest, leaning into his embrace.
"The Source, I realized that he would do anything to destroy the power of three. He is setting back time, but he wasn't going to set it back long enough for you to protect your sisters from Shax." Cole closed his eyes. No, this can't be happening. Not now, not when I just got Phoebe...
Cole's thoughts were interrupted by a couple of the Source's men, who were dressed in black robes with their hoods drawn. There was one in the middle and two behind him off to the sides. The one in the middle Cole recognized as Dafton. He said, "Step away from the witch Belthazor."
Cole tightened his grip around Phoebe's shoulder.
"Fine have it your way then," Dafton informed him. The three figures all produced fireballs in their hands.
Cole pushed Phoebe aside as he dodged the fireballs. However, he didn't notice the other three figures that appeared behind him and grab Phoebe as he approached his attackers, trying to keep Dafton from getting Phoebe.
"Cole!" Phoebe managed to scream as one of the figures cupped his hand over her mouth.
Cole turned around, "Phoebe! No!" he yelled as the three figures that had Phoebe shimmered out. Cole turned around to face his three attackers that were still in front of him.
"The Source will not be happy about your lack of cooperation Belthazor," Dafton told him.
Cole, in a furry of ragged replied, "Oh yeah, fuck the Source!" as he came closer to Dafton and his two men with his fists instead of magic. Focused only on delivering pain to the trio that distracted him from Phoebe's abduction, Cole lunged at Dafton with his fists swinging wildly in front of him.
Dafton swiftly put up his hand and caught Cole's punch. "Come now Belthazor, at least your still alive," Dafton commented with a sly grin before returning Cole's punch. Dafton watched as Cole flew straight back into a wall and then hit the floor.
Cole felt as if he had just been hit a train, with every thing that has been going on. Great! Cole thought as he recognized the familiar taste of blood in his mouth. He didn't need to open his eyes that were still closed to know that the blood was seeping out of his mouth as well. He could feel it tricking down his chin and onto his shirt that was getting wetter with blood by the second. That's gonna leave a mark.
Dafton and his two minions disappeared as Cole slowly started to make his way off the filthy floor and onto his own two feet. His only concern now was to get Phoebe safe, but first he had to inform Leo and tell him what happened to Phoebe.
Cole shimmered into the Manor. No one was in living room. Good Cole thought that must mean that Leo got here in time to save Prue and Piper. Well if they are alive, there is only one place they can be, the attic. So, Cole shimmered into the attic to find three faces staring at him with fear and anticipation written all over their faces.
