Piper looked at her reflection in the mirror. She hated the way she looked. She had bruises and cuts all over her face. She had bruises and cuts all over her body. Andy had only healed her worse wounds. She let out a sigh and walked into her bedroom. When she walked in she saw Cole sitting on her bed.

"Hey." She said sitting next to him. Cole put his arms around her small body. "Hey." He said placing a small kiss on the top of her head.

"Are you OK" He asked gently.

"Do I look ok?" She asked bitterly. "Leo beat the shit out of me, Cole!" She said with tears threatening to fall. She placed her head on his chest.

Cole let her cry. He didn't want her to get any more upset. He gently stroked her hair. "Piper, I want you to know that I would never hurt you...in any way." He said desperately wanting her to know that.

Piper placed her finger on his lips. "I know that. You are amazing Cole."

Cole grinned. "I love you." He said.

Piper smiled at him and placed a deep kiss on his lips. She stood and started walking off towards the bathroom. "I'll be right back. I'm going to take a shower." She said to Cole who had been confused on why Piper was leaving.

AN HOUR LATER – 9:00

Piper walked out of the bathroom, wearing a robe and her hair was blown dried and neatly combed. She looked around and didn't see Cole. "What did I expect? To have him wait a whole hour for me?" She asked herself out loud.

Just then Cole shimmered in out of breath and sweating. "Cole, what's wrong?" She asked worriedly.

Cole didn't say anything. He looked around the room. Then an energy ball formed in his hand. A bounty hunter appeared in the room. "Hey!" Piper yelled toward the demon. She flicked her wrists and he exploded. "Well, that was easy." She said.

Cole gave her a half-smile. "I didn't mean to bring him here." He said apologetically.

Piper narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?" She asked. She prayed Cole wasn't working with demons again.

Cole wiped the sweat away from his forehead and sat down on Piper's bed. "Somehow word got around the Balthazar is back. Now every bounty hunter out there wants me dead. I kept dodging them but one followed me here." He explained.

"Well, we'll fight them together." She told him. "Wait, don't bounty hunters work along side the Source?" She asked.

Cole nodded. "I found out that the Underworld is getting itself a new Source. This one will be extremely powerful...more powerful than the one you fought last year." He said.

Piper groaned. "Well, we'll vanquish his sorry ass later. Right now all I care about is you." She said with a smile. She leaned over and gave him a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Cole kissed her back. Piper pushed him down on the bed so he was laying down. She crawled on top of him. She kissed him again. Cole pushed her away slightly. "Are you sure you want to?" He asked.

"Absolutely." She said. Cole wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her down to him. Piper took off his shirt never breaking the kiss. She then undid his pants and pulled them right off. Cole reached up and took off Piper's robe. Piper slid off Cole's boxers.

Cole rolled over so Piper was under him. He placed his elbows on either side of her and he supported all his weight on them so he wouldn't crush Piper. He made a trail of kisses down her neck and down her chest. Piper let out series of moans.

Cole then entered Piper. It felt like fireworks went off to Piper.

AN HOUR LATER -10:00

Piper was now laying on Cole chest, she was asleep. Cole wrapped his arms protectively around her. He was watching her sleep. What neither of them knew was that even more drama and problems lie ahead of them.

DOWNSTAIRS

Phoebe was pacing around the kitchen. "Hurry up with that potion, Paige!" Phoebe said anxiously. Paige was making a potion that -hopefully- would replicate Piper's exploding power since they didn't want her to come along. Phoebe had made one a few moments ago to replicate Piper's freezing power. They prayed the potions would work.

"I'm hurrying! This potion is harder than the last one." She said. She grabbed the mandrake root and dropped into the cauldron. It made an exploding noise and Paige fell to the ground. "Ump!" She said as she fell. Phoebe helped Paige up.

"It's done now." Paige said wiping a piece of hair out of her face. She poured the potion into a vial. "Now what do we do? We still have 2 hours until we need to be at the cemetery." Paige asked to Phoebe.

"We work on a spell to summon Leo." Phoebe said matter-of-factly. She grabbed a pen and piece of paper of the kitchen counter.

Paige gave Phoebe a strange glare. "Why do we need a spell? Why don't we just call for him?" She asked.

"Because I know Leo. He is pissed off and angry right now. He isn't going to come when we call him. A spell is the only way to bring him to us." She said jotting down words to a spell. Paige nodded understanding.

Ten minutes passed and Phoebe finished the spell. "Call Cole down. I want to tell him we are leaving...just so Piper doesn't flip out not knowing where we are." Phoebe said. Paige nodded and yelled out Cole's name.

"Paige! Piper could hear you!" Phoebe hissed. Phoebe knew that Piper would then come down and ask what was going on. Then Piper would find out what was going then.

"Sorry, but how else do you want me to get Cole?" Paige asked placing her hands on her hips. Cole then shimmered in wearing only his boxers. Paige looked away and covered her eyes. "Did you have to shimmer in half-naked?"

Cole just laughed at Paige. He looked at Phoebe and saw the pain in her eyes when he came in. "I guess I should have changed, huh?" He asked to no one in particular.

Paige patted his chest. "No. You look really...nice." Paige said blushing ten shades of red when she said that. She didn't like Cole in anyway other than a friend...almost a brother. She couldn't deny though she thought that Cole was attractive. "Phoebe is fine. She is only..." She trailed off, not knowing what to say. Cole laughed at Paige.

Phoebe cleared her throat and faced the floor. "I'm fine. It's just still weird for me that you're with Piper now. It was always you and me, you know?" She said to him, not being able to look him in the face.

Cole nodded his head. "Yeah, it was weird for me at first also. It was different. I am really happy that it happened though." He explained with a smile on his face.

Phoebe felt her heart break into a million pieces. She wanted to the one that made him happy, that he loved. She knew that Cole loved Piper now, not her. So she tried to be happy for her sister.

Paige tried to break the tension by changing the subject. "Pheebz and I are leaving. We wanted to tell so you can tell Piper." She said.

"Why are you telling me?" He asked. "I mean, no offense or anything, but why don't you tell Piper?"

Paige understood why he was asking that. "Because we don't want Piper to know where we are going and if we tell her than that will bring up a whole lot of questions." She explained. She quickly grabbed Phoebe's hand and orbed them to the cemetery before Cole could ask anymore questions.

"Damn witch that can orb!" He swore. He wanted to know what they were up to.

AT THE CEMETREY

Paige and Phoebe arrived in the mausoleum where they planned to meet the darklighter.

"You think he'll show?" Paige asked her sister, referring to the darklighter.

Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. "Who cares?" She said in an emotionless voice. She leaned up against the wall and shoved her hands into the pockets of her jacket. Truth was, she was angry and hurt about Piper and Cole's relationship. She was angry at Piper for taking Cole and hurt that Cole loved her sister.

Paige stared at her sister with a confused gaze. "What's gotten into you?" She asked. She walked over to her sister.

"Cole. Paige, I love him." She confessed.

"No! Really?" Paige said in a sarcastic voice. She knew Phoebe loved Cole. She always did and probably always will. Killing Cole a few months ago only erased him physically to her. Cole lived inside Phoebe all the time. Her love for him never died. She knew that Phoebe was really hurting but that didn't excuse her for trying to ruin Piper and Cole's relationship.

"Paige, do you know how much I would give to be Piper? I want to be the one he makes love to, the one that makes him happy, the one he is madly in love with. Like Piper is to him." She explained. Tears were brimming in her eyes.

"You were that. He was madly in love with you. But you threw back in his face and abandoned him. This isn't his fault. You could have had that but you lost it." Paige said. She didn't mean to sound so cold but that was how she felt.

Phoebe understood what Paige was saying. "I wrote a spell to summon Zurich (the darklighter)." She pulled out a piece of paper. One that had both spells on it.

Paige and Phoebe chanted the words written down:

Magic forces black and white

Reaching out through space and light

Be he far or be he near

Bring to us the darklighter, Zurich.

Suddenly he appeared in a gust of wind from the spell. "Can I help you?" He asked with a sly smirk on his face.

"We are ready to kill Leo." Paige said assertively.
