Thanks for the reviews. I know the last chapter was rough, but this one is lighter, I promise.
The-Cheese-Fairy- So you liked it? Wow, it just felt so wrong writing that. Paige isn't pregnant, she can't hold the demon seed. It's like when Cole had to give Phoebe that chocolate to get her pregnant. I still don't know what I'm doing for AoW2. I think I'm gonna finish this one up and then do some serious thinking about what I want to do for AoW2. I'm just not sure what I want the plot to be. Do I want conflict, or do I want it to just be a little fluffy and be about their time off of demon hunting? You tell me what you want. Your wish is my command.
s.halliwell- Wow, you really get into this don't you. Lol! I'm glad you liked it though. Thanks for the review.
It had been a week since Paige was taken. Piper barely left the attic, let alone the house. Many times she just sat up there and cried for her baby sister. She missed her so badly and the guilt had not yet lifted, nor would it ever until they had Paige back home safely.
Phoebe had gone to work only to pay the bills. Otherwise she would have been up in the attic with Piper, trying to find a way to get their sister back. She had wrote a thousand spells to vanquish him in her spare time, each one giving him a more violent and vicious death. Her advice column was definitely paying for the stress she was under. She was giving people horrible advice lately and Elise didn't like it. Phoebe was at risk of losing her job, but she didn't care. She just wanted her sister back.
One thing that both Piper and Phoebe had wished more than anything else was to have Prue there. She would have found Paige and had her back safely by now. Neither of them could find the strength to get away from their guilt to do anything useful. But Prue would never come, nor would Paige if they didn't do something. They had gone to Cole's apartment once or twice, but he was never there. They were both going crazy, though neither one would ever admit it.
Paige lay on the cold hard ground of the cave. She hadn't moved for quite some time now. It was one of the few times that Cole had left her alone. He came in every now and then and beat her up some more, before having his way with her. Paige had given up trying to struggle. She had given up all hope. She would probably die here one day and no one would know. But her mind was blank and she was asleep from a mixture of exhaustion, hunger, pain, and many other things that no normal human could ever endure. That's why she didn't hear anyone approaching.
Kyle Brody crept silently along the dark passageway. He had been tracking Cole for many years now and his searches had led him here. He had no clue what he would do if he actually met up with him, seeing as how he had no potions prepared or any defense for that matter. Nevertheless he kept going. He reached a large opening and checked to make sure that no one was there before going into it. His eyes scanned the room (if that's what you would call it) for any clues that Cole had been there. They didn't fail him.
On the floor was a young girl, about mid twenties. She was curled up in a ball and appeared to be sleeping. Kyle walked over to her to examine her. She was completely naked, her body covered with an assortment of scars, bruises, dirt, and fresh wounds. She was chained to the wall. This was what he was looking for. Only Cole Turner could do something like this. He shook her lightly, but she didn't stir. She looked like she was knocking on Death's door and he was ready to let her in. He guessed that she hadn't eaten for days, if not weeks.
He sighed, trying to decide what to do. Finally he picked her up and cradled her in his arms. She wasn't heavy at all and he quickly made his way back out of the cave and to his car which was parked right next to it. He gently laid her in the back seat and went around to the front, driving out as quickly as he could. Through the whole journey back to his place, he listened for any signs of her stirring. None came. When he finally got back inside San Francisco and to his apartment, he covered her up with a blanket and carried her inside, instantly putting her in the bathtub so he could clean her up and better examine her wounds.
He filled the tub up with warm water and held her up so she wouldn't sink underneath. He then got a washcloth and lathered it up, gently scrubbing the dirt and dried blood away. When he was finally done, he saw that her skin was milk white. He wasn't sure if it was naturally that way or if it was from lack of sun. Whatever the case, she was beautiful. Kyle couldn't understand why anyone would do this to her.
The water was brown now and he drained it, drying her off and picking her up again. He set her on his bed, but figured it would be better if she had clothes. He didn't have anything for a girl to wear, so he went over and picked out a t-shirt and some boxer shorts to cover her up a little. He had never experienced how hard it was to dress someone who was dead weight, but he got it done anyways. Finally he laid her down on his bed and covered her up. The only thing he could do now was wait for her to wake up so that he could feed her and get her story.
Cole shimmered into the cave, ready for a day's worth of tortured. He walked over to the spot where Paige was and looked down to see it empty. He stared at it for a moment, as if not believing that she wasn't really there. His brain suddenly caught up with him and he yelled at the top of his lungs, kicking the wall.
"How could she escape?" he asked himself angrily.
"Because you didn't watch her you idiot," his other half replied.
"What do I do now?" he asked, trying to clear his head so he could think.
"Find her," he answered himself before shimmering out.
Yay! Paige is saved, Paige is saved. And I cleverly integrated Kyle. I hated the fact that those two had to split up on the show. They were so cute together. Anyways, I hope a big weight has been lifted off your shoulders now because it had on mine. Till next time…
