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. 5
He looks so lost, so lonely, so hurt. I can't believe I hurt him, so much. But he was the Source.
"Why?" Phoebe asked. "Why did you do it?"
All Cole wanted to do was pull her into his arms and never let go.
"Why did I become the Source? I didn't have much of a choice."
"That doesn't make sense."
Cole walked to the window and sighed.
"The Seer planned the whole thing. She wanted to be the Source. When I took the Hollow, to save you, she put her plan in motion. I don't know how she did it, but she put the Source's spirit, in me. His spirit pushed mine down to a whisper."
"But you, I mean he didn't kill us."
"He tried. He focused most of his attention on Paige. He felt she was the weakest of you three."
"Was it you who noticed Paige was bleeding at our wedding?"
"Yes, that was me. It was also me who volunteered to save her when the Power Broker poisoned her. Whenever you were upset, I came out. He couldn't stop me. My love for you was too strong, even for him."
Phoebe was having a hard time understanding.
"You made me evil."
Cole couldn't believe it. How could she believe that.
"I didn't make you evil, Phoebe, the Seer did. I was transferring the Source's spirit to the wizard, when you killed him."
Phoebe turned away and started to cry. He was right. I stopped him from being good, again. I killed his chance.
"Phoebe, please don't cry. I didn't want to hurt you. I tried, so hard, to be good, but no matter what I did, evil still finds me."
She walked over to Cole and took his hand and led him to the couch.
"I'm sorry I blamed you."
The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you, and that's what I've done. I'm so tired of running..."
Phoebe noticed that Cole had drifted off to sleep. She covered him and went to find Leo.
