The Voice in Her Head

All the important info was covered in chpts 1-3

I want to thank Julie for all her help with this story. You're been a great help with my Cole & Phoebe stories.

Chpt. 4

"It still looks the same." Phoebe said, closing the door.

She walked around the apartment, touching things, remembering how happy she and Cole seemed.

"Things were so simple back then. I was so happy."

"So was I."

"You're following me?" she asked Cole.

"To make sure you're safe."

"Then show yourself."

"You're not ready yet."

Phoebe didn't understand why Cole wouldn't show himself. What was he afraid of? Rejection? Anger? Hurt?

I'll summon him tonight and get my answers, she thought to herself.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked when Phoebe ran into him.

"Sorry. I have something important to do."

"What?"

Phoebe wasn't ready to tell them that she wants to summon Cole. They'll only try to talk her out of it. But hell, she needed answers to what happened.

"I'm going to summon Cole." She whispered.

Leo didn't know what to say. He felt he should tell her to forget Cole, but he couldn't.

"Be careful."

After Phoebe ran up the stairs, to her room, Leo went in search of Piper.

"What's the matter?" Piper asked, when she saw Leo's face.

"I'm worried about Phoebe, she wants to summon Cole."

"She what!" Paige exclaimed.

"Paige, calm down."

"He'll hurt her!"

"I think she should talk to Cole. Maybe it will help. They still love each other and have overcome many obstacles. Maybe this is another hurdle, for them, to overcome." Piper said.

"I can't believe you think being the Source of all evil an obstacle to over come." Paige replied.

"He has done a lot of good. He's helped us vanquish a lot of demons. He's helped save our lives, at one time. So, there has to be good reason why he was the Source."

"I'll go talk to the Elders." Leo said.

Phoebe spent an hour writing a summoning spell.

"I don't know why it's taking so long to write a two line spell. I wrote hundreds of them, thousands of them, so why can't I write it."

"Phoebe, are you okay?" Piper asked.

"I'm having a hard time writing a spell."

"Just remember what you want to accomplish with the spell and work from there."

After Piper left, Phoebe set 5 white candles in a circle and lit them, counter clockwise.

"I hope this works. I need to see him."

"Magic forces, dark and light,

Please return my true love to me, tonight."

When the smoke cleared, Cole was standing in the circle. It was weird to see him, in front of her, standing there with his handsome features. She missed him, so much and it took all her willpower not to run to him and hug him tight. She wanted to be in his arms, she wanted him to take away the feeling of all those lonely nights, without him. She realized, her love, for him had never died and that she probably would love him for the rest of her life, evil or not.
