Cole had carried Phoebe back to his room, where he delicately placed her on his bed. Lying beside her, he stroked her cheek affectionately while gazing down upon her. He heard footsteps echoing through the hall and stop before his open door. "You're the one that killed her. I know you did," Cole stated almost unemotionally, even though he was battling the rage and loss inside him.
"It had to be done. Remember, you belong to me now," the Seer responded, taking a step closer to Cole.
Cole tore himself away from Phoebe and stood carefully with a dagger placed delicately behind his back in his waistband. "You're right! Phoebe had to die."
"I'm glad you saw things my way," the Seer told him, taking yet another step closer. Leaning in slowly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips leisurely. Cole let her but did not respond even half as fiercely as he would with Phoebe. Slipping the knife from his waist band, he plunged the dagger into the soft flesh.
The Seer backed up a step, staring at her blood covered hand and then at Cole in astonishment…
Back at the cave, the Seer watched the same turn of events on her little screen. Muttering under her breath she whispered, "Worst part of this fairy tale." Turning back to the sleeping couple, she stared at them intensely. "But I can assure you; I made sure that fairy tale didn't have a happy ending. I'll make sure this one won't end happy either."

At the Manor, Piper, Leo, and Paige took cover in the attic. An insistent banging was coming from the door as the door seemed to be about to budge.
"We need Phoebe, Leo. Please, try to sense her again," Piper pleaded to her husband.
"Piper, I've tried, the Seer has hidden her location. I can't find her."
"Leo, why can't you orb us out again?" Paige asked, cowering behind the sofa.
"If I try to orb us out, the wizards will be able to drain all of our powers, then we will truly be helpless. As long as we're alive, we're together, and we have our powers, we will survive."
"Oh, Leo! Enough will the pep talks, don't you get tired of always being optimistic and helpful and… just being… you!" Piper snapped as the door fell to the floor and the wizards stormed in. Piper grabbed Leo to her. "I'm sorry, Leo. I'm just so scared. I love you," Piper whispered. "Paige. I'm really proud of you, I know I've been hard on you but I do love just as much as Phoebe. You're as good as Prue was."
"You're just saying that because you're about to die…" Paige tried to joke.
"Maybe…" Piper joked back as the wizards grabbed them and hauled them to their feet.
"Awwww. Sister moment, love those things… so kind and sweet." One wizard remarked sarcastically while sneering at them.
"Phoebe, we need you," Piper silent plea went unheard to Phoebe as her mind was still conjuring tormenting images of her past life.
What do you think? I'll try to update soon.
