Part 10
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The importance of being Cole Turner.
Piper fell on Cole feeling a heat and a piercing pain spread over her body. She couldn't say anything, but hoped he have enough time to escape before Deputy Source pieced himself on. Cole pushed her out hastily then got up on his legs to run away. The flute slipped out of her hand lying on the ground. "He's false." – realized Piper, as much as she wanted him to go away, she believed he would never leave her in the lurch.
Deputy Source – the REAL Cole - regrouped from fragments, he rushed to her and held her on his lap.
"Piper! Hold on please!" – called him in fear – "Don't go like that! You're not leaving me alone!"
He seemed to lose his mind holding her tightly in panic. Fortunately, he thought of a saviour and flamed back to the manor. Prue and Phoebe were fighting with 2 demons.
"Leo! Call Leo! She's dying." – cried Cole.
"Leo!" – called Prue and Phoebe loudly.
He orbed in and started to heal Piper. Cole stood up throwing energy balls to the demons vanquishing them.
"What is demon-free agreement?" – shouted Prue.
"Zeany betrayed The Source for a long time. He and his underlings don't obey his order anymore." – answered Cole.
"Why on earth we keep an agreement once he can't control his inferiors?" – argued Prue.
"You think I didn't know what you did behind my back?" – Cole raised his voice – "The agreement is just for diminishing direct confrontations."
"I see how you said we're family. You're more than eager to defend for evil." – commented Prue sternly.
Piper stood up.
"Cole!"
He turned to her, his eyes flashed a ray of joy seeing her in a good state, but they turned cold the moment later. He was hurt and despaired considering she couldn't recognize him even after what they had spent last night.
He flamed out.
"I go up there. We'll talk soon. A big matter." – said Leo before orbing out.
"What's happened, Piper?" – asked Phoebe.
"I've protected the false one." – she went to her bedroom quietly.
It's too cold that night. She remembered how he seduced her in the morning and under the dining table. It's just him, her real husband. How couldn't she recognize him???
"He hates me now." – sobbed her.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Wow, you look amazing." – smiled Prue.
"Thanks."
"Where are you going?" – asked Phoebe.
"Making peace with Cole." – answered Piper.
"Um, it's time to talk about it." – started Prue – "I don't think you should fall for him, Piper. He's a demon."
"We know he won't hurt us. That's why we tried to distinguish the true from the false."
"He's still a demon. Nothing can change that." – insisted Prue.
"Maybe. But I believe he can be good." – said Piper – "He saved us several times. Nothing can change that either."
"You know where he is?" – asked Phoebe.
"I'll try." – Piper got out.

Piper came to his office but the secretary said he was having a meeting. So she had to wait in the waiting room. Cole didn't show up until twelve. She stood up as he appeared around the corner.
His secretary left for lunch, he entered his office letting the door open. Piper followed him and closed it.
"Cole!"
"Are you sure I'm him?" – asked him frostily.
It's the first time she'd come there, he got their wedding picture on his desk, they had never taken photograph together except that event. And the flute was nearby, he had returned to the mausoleum last night for it.
"No." – answered her frankly – "But I love Cole Turner, my husband. I was so overanxious and afraid I would lose him. That's why I couldn't let any of you get hurt."
He turned to scan her face.
"I might save the false one. But I couldn't stare at someone had your appearance, and your voice got killed. I'd rather die before that. If he'd attacked you, I would've done the same thing."
He pulled her to his embrace. In fact her molecule exaggeration couldn't vanquish upper level demons. It's stronger than her Gram's that it could shatter them in pieces momently.
"I love you." – stated Piper.
Cole found her lips and kissed her ardently, then lifted her up to his desk.
"Right here?" – whispered her.
He flamed them back to their bedroom.
"How so horny a demon you are." – giggled her.
"Save your energy."
He sucked her buttons off.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Cole dressed Piper on, paused now and then for kisses. He seemed more passionate since she had admited she loved him. Piper thought she'd been stupid to suspect he hadn't been himself because of that. After he was done, she did the same to him, he looked so sexy in nakedness, all of his scars had completely vanished.
"I want to go out with you tonight." – whispered Piper.
Cole grinned.
"Wherever you want." – added her.
They kissed each other.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Cole and Piper walked in the kitchen hand in hand. Her face was blushing while he looked happy.
"Lunch!" – said Phoebe.
"Thanks. I'm late." – said Cole. He kissed his wife one more time.
"See you tonight." – mumbled her. He flamed out.
"Good job, Piper." – said Prue.
Piper smiled.

That evening,
Cole and Piper were bathing and playing in the sea. Their laughters mingled with each other into a happy melody. An hour later, they got back on their yacht making love. After he had her all roused, Piper gripped his shoulder:
"My favorite style for starters."
He laid on his back to let her get on the top of him.
. . . . . . . . . .
"What's the most important aspiration in your life?" asked Piper.
They were totally naked lying beside each other. She was resting her head on his chest.
"To be with you." – answered Cole stroking her hair.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Would you accept to leave everything to be with me?" – her hand wandered around his hairy chest.
"Yes." – answered him without a thought.
"Even your status in the Underworld?"
Cole changed their position to look at her.
"You want to tell me something?" – asked him.
"Answer me."
"Yes." – his eyes looked absolutely serious.
Piper held him tightly.
"The Source wants me, three of us, dead." – whispered her.
"And you want the same thing to him."
"We'll vanquish him. Will you help us, then. . . leave the Underworld?" – suggested her.
"I will. I've already been on your side." – said Cole.
"After that we can be together." – said Piper.
He kissed on her hair and her forehead.
"But I'll become old year by year. And you. . ."
"Can you make the potion to strip my demon half off?"
Piper raised her head up to stare at him.
"Will you regret?" – asked her. If he did it , he would lose all of his powers, and it wasn't easy to adapt.
"I'll grow old along with you." – said him.
His decision touched her deeply. The demon half helped him get a long life and no disease could affect him. That's all people ever wanted, but he's willing to take it off because of her. She kissed on his lips.
"Promise me one thing." – whispered him suddenly.
Piper looked at him waiting, she thought she would accept whatever it was.
"Be with me forever." – said Cole – "I can't live without you."
She climbed on him.
"That's what I have to say to you. I need you in my life."
She bent down to share another kiss with him. . .

"We've got a thing to discuss here." – said Leo.
Everyone sat on their places.
"The Elders showed me their whole plan of vanquishing The Source." – started him – "Belthazor got his promotion as they had predicted before. He's finished his role in this plan."
"What do you mean 'finish' ?" – Piper cut him off.
"He helped us to go through the first stage. Now we start the second one without him."
"Without him?" – asked Phoebe.
"It's time to vanquish this demon." – answered Leo briefly and coldly.
"And break the agreement?" – asked Prue.
"The Source's birthday is coming. They'll have a big party in the Underworld." – said him – "It's our chance."
"Care to elaborate?" – asked Phoebe.
"We cast a spell over a series of crystals creating a power grid that is capable of keeping demons inside without their powers. Then we put them around the hall where the party is taking place. Finally three of you chant the spell to draw all magic from Halliwell line to vanquish The Source and his council." – explained Leo – "I'll change into Belthazor to set our trap. The hall is taken strict security precautions, only upper level demons who got names in list are allowed to enter after passing a check point. Deputy Source is able to come there before it's started that they don't dare to check him."
"Cole can do it. He'll help us in this role." – said Piper.
"We can't trust him." – resisted Leo.
"I trust him. He's a reliable ally." – emphasized Piper.
"But they don't, I don't, and ask your sisters, neither of them trust him." – argued Leo.
Piper turned to Prue and Phoebe.
"He saved me." – said Prue – "But sorry, Piper. I don't think we should entrust him with this mission."
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders.
"The matter isn't just that. Think if The Source is vanquished." – continued Leo – "Demons will need another one to lead the Underworld. You've vanquished outstanding demons after they failed in destroying you during last year. Lychy got killed recently. Everyone can say Belthazor is the only promising demon left, and he's coveted the throne for a long time. We just enjoy our lives in peace after vanquishing him."
"Cole doesn't want to be The Sourse anymore." – insisted Piper – "He's promised me to help us, then I'll strip his powers off."
"He asked you to do it?" – asked Leo quickly.
"Yeah."
"Has he told you about the amulet?" – Leo looked frightened.
"Which amulet?" – asked Prue.
"Belthazor used to kill three witches who owned three pieces of an amulet. Each of them can protect you from common demons, combining them together makes you invincible." – expounded Leo – "However, it doesn't work on evil. If he's human, it will. Next, he'll get the book of shadows to be powerful again. Too perfect, isn't it?"
Prue and Phoebe gasped, Piper shook her head.
"If he really loved you, he'll give it to you." – said Leo to Piper – "But he never did it, even when you lost all of your powers."
"He didn't keep them. If so, he would give me." – said Piper trustfully.
"Has he made you stupified?" – asked Prue.
"My heart told me that." – said Piper.
"Use your mind, Piper." – shouted Prue.
Leo felt lost.
"I won't kill him. Never." – stated Piper firmly.
