Return of the Dead

Chapter 13- Bye Cole

Phoebe had just finished healing Paige; the other two had already been healed

"What happened?" Paige gasped the minute she sat up then seeing Cole she asked, "What the hell is he doing here?"

"It's okay he's human but we have bigger problems, Calder another demon got Cole's powers," Phoebe explained

"How can we trust him?" Prue asked coldly

"He was under a spell when he tried to kill us," Phoebe explained

"A likely story," Paige spat

"He saved my life, he almost died but I healed him," Phoebe said

"Oh yeah how did you heal us?" Piper asked at the time not thinking about it at all

"The Elders gave me the power, now Piper don't panic but darklighters have Leo trapped in the Underworld," Phoebe said calmly

"What!" Piper cried, "Let's go to the Underworld now!"

"I'll go with you," Cole offered

"No!" Phoebe said quickly "Your human you'll be killed, wait here until we get back,"

"Okay," he agreed pleased that Phoebe seemed to care about him

All four sisters orbed to the Underworld.

"I can sense him," Paige said before taking her sisters hands again and orbing them to a small dungeon where they found Leo lying on the ground a darklighter arrow sticking out of his stomach.

"Oh my God Leo," Piper cried going over to him.

"Leo, Leo can you hear me?" Piper frantically shook him

"Piper," Leo breathed

"Yeah I'm here, hold on Phoebe can heal you," she said stroking his head

"Orb us home before any demons come," Phoebe told Paige

They appeared in the attic in shimmering lights where Phoebe noticed Cole wasn't there but she was busy with Leo to worry about that.

"Stand back everyone," Prue instructed waving her hand at Leo's wound, the arrow immediately shot upwards

"Ahhh!" Leo screamed in pain

Phoebe knelt beside him and held her hands over his wound and soon it was gone.

Piper immediately pulled him towards her and hugged him hard

"Thank God," Piper said relieved

"Pheebs want to explain the whole healing thing?" Leo asked

Once they had all explained everything that had happened from Cole to Calder to healing Zenus appeared before them.

"Phoebe I will need that power back now," he said

"Okay," Phoebe said a little reluctant, she quite liked having that power "What do I do?"

"Just relax, close your eyes and hold out your hands," Zenus instructed

Phoebe did as she was told and a golden aura came out her hands and went into Paige.

"Woah, what happened," Paige asked confused.

"For all your hard work over the years battling demons, risking your lives, losing loved ones we have decided to reward all of. Paige you now have the power to heal. Piper we are giving you Leo and we promise not to take him away again."

Piper smiled gratefully at the Elder probably the first time she had ever smiled at an Elder.

"Prue," Zenus continued "the chance to see your sisters again not just for demon battling but you will be allowed to come and visit them every so often,"

Prue looked up at her sisters and they all smiled happily back at her.

"Phoebe you will find out yours soon enough." Zenus said before orbing out

"What do you think he meant by you'll find out yours soon enough?" Piper asked Phoebe

"I don't know only time will tell I guess," Phoebe said

"Wait where's Cole," Paige asked "Not that I want to see him but if we don't keep our eyes on him he'll probably get up to something evil like maybe he'll turn into Belthazor again."

"I think I might know where he is," Phoebe said leaving the room before they could stop her

"Do you think we should leave her alone with him?" Prue asked worriedly

"No but we can't stop her," Piper said

Phoebe stood outside her bedroom the door was slightly opened and she could see Cole standing holding the same photo she had been that morning.

"Hi," Phoebe said walking in

Cole got a fright and dropped the photo smashing the glass in the frame

"I'm sorry," Cole said bending down to pick up the small pieces of glass

"What about breaking into my bedroom and going through my things or breaking my frame," Phoebe said bending down to help him

"Both," Cole replied

"I'm just kidding it's fine," she replied

"Ah," Cole groaned as he cut himself on a small piece of glass

"Here let me help you," Phoebe said as she went over to her drawer and got out a box of plasters

"Really I'll be fine," Cole said

"Don't be silly," Phoebe said as she covered his cut in a plaster

"Thanks," he smiled

She bent down and put the rest of the glass in the bin and picked up the photo.

"It's a great photo isn't it," Phoebe commented

"Yeah we were so happy then what happened?" Cole asked sighing

"Where have you been?" Phoebe asked incredulously

"No, I just mean why did it all have to happen to us," Cole said

"We obviously just weren't meant to be together but hey you're human now you can have a proper life now and finally move on," Phoebe encouraged

"Yeah your right," Cole said trying to sound happy.

"Phoebe I promise I won't hurt you again I'll leave and you won't ever have to see me again," Cole said seriously

"Okay then," Phoebe answered

"Yeah okay," Cole said

"Phoebe are you okay up there?" Paige shouted up

"I'm fine," Phoebe shouted back

"I'd better go," Cole said to Phoebe

"Where will you go?" Phoebe asked

"The Penthouse after all I still own it," Cole said "Bye Phoebe,"

Cole left the room and Phoebe heard the front door slam shut.

She sat on her bed holding the photo

"Bye Cole," she whispered.
