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

Chpt. 8

"Paige, we need to talk." Phoebe said.

"What about?"

"I don't like the way you're treating Cole."

"Phoebe, he was the Source. He would have killed us.'

"No! Cole would never hurt us! He'd never hurt me!"

Paige just shook her head.

"Just give him a chance."

"No, I can't. He made you evil."

"That wasn't him that was The Seer. She made me evil. She made me kill the wizard."

"I don't trust him. What makes you so sure that he won't turn evil, again?"

Phoebe sighed. "The same way I can't be sure you won't turn evil, either."

"Are you okay?" Leo asked as he helped Cole up.

"I think so." He said, walking over to the window.

Piper was worried. Cole seemed drawn to windows. She wondered why.

Samuel was watching them.

"She not supposed to take him back! He's mine! I need to get Turner back to the Wasteland. I have better control from here."

Just then he noticed Phoebe walking up the attic stairs.

"I just found what I need."

Phoebe couldn't believe how unreasonable Paige was being. Leo explained to them what really happened and yet she still holds Cole accountable for all the trouble the Seer caused.

"What will it take for Paige to accept Cole?" she whispered as she walked in the attic.

Phoebe gasped when she spotted Cole by the windows. He turned and sighed, when he heard her. He walked over to her and took her hands in his.

"I'm not giving up. I'm not letting him win."

"Who?" Leo asked.

"Samuel. He's the guard of the Wasteland. He's been trying to get me to end it, since I was...vanquished. There's a creature, who feeds on the demons."

"Why didn't you..." Piper started to say.

"Die? I have something to live for." Cole said, smiling at Phoebe.

"What happens to the vanquished demons' powers?" Phoebe asked.

"The creature devours them and becomes stronger."

"Well, it's late. We'll talk in the morning. Good night."

After Piper and Leo left, Phoebe lead Cole to the couch.

Phoebe was worried about Cole. He says he's not giving up, but he seems so lost, so despondent.

"I want you to stay here, tonight. I'm afraid, if you go back to the Wasteland, I won't see you again, ever." Phoebe said, with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Cole wiped her tears with his fingertip.

"I hate seeing you cry. I'll stay. As long as you stay with me. I need to touch you, to hold you."

Cole lay down and Phoebe covered him with a blanket.

"We have been through so much, together. So much pain and sorrow. But I need you in my life. I love you Cole and that will never change."

When Phoebe turned around, she noticed Cole had fallen asleep.

"I'll be right back." She whispered to the room.
