I'm glad you guys like the idea. As much as I love Paige, she's just so easy to put in these sucky situations. I think it's going to be a pretty good story though. So anyways, here's the next chapter…

Alyssa Halliwell- I'm glad you like it. The summary's a kind of put off though...

Linn-LovesPiperLeo- That's great. I've got to say, no one's ever told me that my stories were super duper.

tvspaz626- No, I like torture fics too. They are very emotional and it's like the lowest point in anyone's life, but somehow they pull through... or maybe they don't.

acdecnerd- Thanks.


Phoebe bounced down the steps cheerfully. It was a bright and sunny day and she was determined to make sure that nothing went wrong. As soon as she walked in the kitchen though, that determination fell apart.

"What's wrong?" she instantly asked as her empathy powers kicked in and she felt Paige's stress and Piper's worry.

"Nothing," Piper replied, her head snapping up. She and Paige had been talking in hushed whispers, trying to make sure that Phoebe couldn't hear them talking about Paige's dream.

"Then why do you guys feel so stressed and worried?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh you know, just this whole thing with that demon we ran into yesterday," Paige quickly lied.

"Yeah, we couldn't find anything in the Book and you know what that means: it's probably some big bad that's going to be hard to kill," Piper said. She too was lying. Her and Paige had checked the book yesterday for the demon and found tons of information on it, including a vanquishing potion. Phoebe looked at them skeptically. She knew they were hiding something, but if they didn't want her to know, then she wouldn't let it ruin her day. She just may have a good day after all.

"Okay," she said, giving them her sign of defeat. She heard them both let out a small sigh of relief, but ignored it. "So what's everyone got planned today?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Well, I was actually thinking of going to check on P3 for once," Piper said, eager to get away from the conversation as well.

"And I was going to look for some more information about that demon. What about you?" Paige asked.

"Oh I have a deadline today. I figured that I would go in, lock my door, read some letters, and take some time to respond the best I can to them instead of rushing to try to get some answers out there," Phoebe replied.

"Well that's great honey, I think that will be good for you," Piper said. Phoebe nodded.

"I need to get to work," she sighed. Paige nodded.

"Yeah, you wouldn't want Elise to have a fit now would you?" she asked. Phoebe shook her head.

"I'll see you guys later," she said, getting up and giving each of her sisters a kiss on the cheek before walking out. Paige and Piper heard the door shut a few seconds after.

"She felt us," Paige immediately said.

"Yeah, well what did you expect? She's an empath, remember? Just be glad she didn't try to go any further with it," Piper said. Paige sighed.

"I just feel so bad for her. She was finally getting back on her feet and forgetting about Cole and then I have to have this stupid dream and screw it all up," she complained.

"You didn't screw it up. As long as she doesn't know, then she'll be fine. We just have to be careful and keep her out of it at all costs. If Cole is trying something, it's most likely to get to her," Piper advised.

"Ugh," Paige exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table, "that asshole just never knows when to quit!" she yelled. Piper put her hand on Paige's.

"Don't worry sweetie, we'll figure it out. Everything's going to be okay," she said. Paige nodded, trying to convince herself that it was true. She wasn't so sure though.

"I'm tired," she announced.

"You look like it. Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap? Come on," Piper said, standing up and helping her sister up as well. She led Paige upstairs and into her room. She was still in her pajamas and Piper had her lay down on the bed, tucking her in. She sat down next to Paige and stroked her hair, getting her to quickly fall asleep.

Piper hadn't known Paige for very long, and she had truly considered her a sister for even less time. She realized though that she was in many ways a Halliwell. She had just come into the family at the wrong time. The day after Prue's funeral, Piper and Phoebe had found out that Paige was her sister, and things had gone to hell from there. Piper had taken advantage of Paige at first and she felt bad about it, but could anyone really blame her? She had been so shaken up by suddenly losing her oldest sister and being thrown into the position, she just wasn't used to it. Getting to know Paige had been hard and they had both made some mistakes along the way, but they were good now. Piper just hoped that Paige's dreams were wrong. She didn't want to lose another sister, and dealing with Cole Turner could very well make that happen. Lost in her thoughts, Piper fell asleep next to her baby sister, holding her protectively as if to make sure that nothing bad happened while they were dreaming.


Cole Turner sat in his beautiful penthouse, thinking up more ways to commit suicide. It was his favorite activity since he had realized that there was no way he could get Phoebe back. He didn't want to live without her, so he wouldn't. He had tried just about everything. He had even blown the place up a few times. He was becoming hopeless. Nothing would kill him. He would have to stay on this worthless planet forever, drowning in his misery. Or would he? Why was he like this in the first place? He and Phoebe had been fine, everything was good. They had such a perfect love and then it fell to pieces for some reason.

"The Source," Cole mumbled to himself. Phoebe had vanquished him because he was the Source. But no, she had loved him still, she had been with him still. She had been convinced to kill him, she never really wanted to.

"Paige," Cole whispered, his eyes hardening. She had been the one. Ever since the beginning she had been trying to sabotage their love. She was even worse than Prue. Cole had been sad when Prue died. As much as they couldn't stand each other, he had still felt sorrow for her death. But Paige; if she died, Cole would be happy. He would rejoice for days and days and be the happiest man alive. He would love it. In fact, he would be even happier if she were tortured to death. If he could watch her scream and cry and plead for her life, that would be even better. Cole's thoughts suddenly stopped and a small smile spread across his face.

"I'll make it happen," he told himself, "Paige Matthews will pay for what she did, and I will finally be at peace."

Uh oh... We all remember that period when Cole was a crazy bastard trying to get Phoebe back. I loved that scene where Piper and Phoebe walked into his apartment and he was like blowing things up and trying to kill himself and one of them suggests cutting his head off and he's like, oh that's a good idea. I loved that one, it was hilarious. Anyways, review me please. Hope you liked the chapter.
