Holy crap (not that I've ever experienced one, but oh well) I got such a good response and I totally wasn't expecting it. I was thinking that people would hate it. You guys liked it though. I'm really sorry about my rant last time. You can always tell what I've just been doing or what mood I'm in by what I write. So anyways, I must give thanks where thanks are due...

.elementbabe.- I'm glad I kept you on the edge of your seat. Did you really say all the no bitch, and what the hells? I do that too sometimes.

s.halliwell- Yeah they can also relate by the fact that they've both slept with him...

Who-will-change-the-world- You loved it? I don't know if it was that good... I'm glad you loved it. Ah, they will find out. I don't think they'll catch her, but they'll find out.

Jenna Sabina- I'm glad you liked it, thanks.

Paige Halliwell- Ah, there's always one... Just kidding. It's okay that you didn't like it. I'm glad that you trust me enough to make things right though.

fanmania- Thanks!

sophswarb- That makes sense now! Cool.

The-Cheese-Fairy- Thanks, I'm glad you were so awestruck by it. I liked the idea of that plot twist. It's good that everyone else did too or else I'd be screwed.

Alyssa Halliwell- I'm not sure how she could. I think it's some meticulous process that I'm not going to go into detail with... Just kidding. Kyle rocks.

SK- Glad to hear from a new person. Actually I was thinking 'who the hell are you' but it was in a good way. Hey, I'm glad you reviewed because if you go through the whole story without so much as a 'it sucks' then that's just wrong.

ethereal girl- Another new reviewer! Yay me! And you of course... It's the best story? Really? I'm flattered. Thanks so much. Why did Paige do it? That will be explained, I promise. How did Cole know she would respond? He didn't know, it was just an impulse really. Once she did react, he went with it as a new sort of torture. Good questions, I like when people wrack my brains. It makes me think.

"Paige, say the spell!" Phoebe yelled to her sister. They had backed Cole into a corner and there was nowhere for him to go. He stared at Paige with his Cole gray eyes and she was locked in his gaze.

"Paige!" Prue exclaimed. Paige shook her head, still keeping her eyes locked with Cole's.

"No," she said firmly.

"What? Why?" Phoebe asked frantically. Paige moved beside Cole.

"Because I love him," she said.

Paige gasped and sat up straight in her bed. She looked around to make sure she was still at home. She was breathing heavily and sobbed, falling into her pillow. She couldn't love him. She couldn't. She couldn't. She couldn't. She kept repeating this to herself, trying to make it true. She wasn't really sure though. Everything in her head was so messed up she couldn't sort out what was real and what wasn't; what was true and what wasn't. There was a light knock at the door.

"Come in," Paige said, wiping at her tears. Prue opened the door and shut it behind her. She went over and sat on Paige's bed. Paige looked at her sister with red puffy eyes. Prue took her baby sister in her arms and held her as she cried. Finally Paige looked up. Prue wiped the stray tears that were escaping her eyes.

"Thanks," Paige said.

"What happened, sweetie?" Prue asked. Paige sighed.

"I don't know," she said.

"What did he do to you?"

"Nothing. He did nothing," Paige said. Prue only looked at her. "I swear."

"I believe you. It's okay that you couldn't do it. Anyone who's been through what you have is bound to have some emotional baggage," Prue said.

"But I should have been able to," Paige said.

"Paige, it's okay-"

"No it's not!" Paige exclaimed. Prue looked startled. "No it's not. I slept with him Prue. He kissed me and I kissed him back. I shed my clothes for him and I slept with him. It is not alright," Paige said. Prue just stared at her, unable to believe what she had just heard. Her baby sister, the only one that had carried on her beliefs of Cole's evil after she had died, had slept with Cole willingly after everything that he had done to her.

"Why?" Prue asked.

"I don't know! I just don't know. It just happened. It was like I wasn't really there, I was just watching from outside of myself. My body reacted and I couldn't stop it. I didn't want it, it just happened," Paige explained. Prue sighed.

"So now what?" she asked.

"I don't know. I had a dream just before you came in. We were getting ready to vanquish Cole and again I wouldn't say the spell. But I said that I loved him," Paige said, a little apprehensive at what Prue would say.

"And do you?" Prue asked, trying to be helpful and understanding. It took every ounce of self control she had to keep from grabbing Paige by the throat and shaking the common sense into her.

"I don't know. I can't work anything out in my head anymore. I don't want to. I really don't want to. I just don't know," Paige replied.

"Then there's only one thing to do," Prue said.

"What?" Paige asked, eager to receive advice from her big sister.

"Kill him. You have to help us vanquish him, Paige. It's the only way to get him out of your head. He's screwing with you, and not just physically. He raped you, beat you, cut you, and then screwed with your head. You can't let him keep doing that to you. You can't. I didn't come down here for nothing, Paige. I'm here to help," Prue said. Paige wasn't surprised at the answer. She knew it had to happen. She had to kill him.

"Let's go," Paige said. Prue nodded and took Paige's hand, leading her out of the room and downstairs. Piper and Phoebe looked up from the kitchen table.

"Are you okay sweetie?" Phoebe asked. Paige nodded.

"Let's just get this over with," Paige said,

"What do you mean honey?" Piper asked.

"I want him gone. I want to vanquish Cole," Paige said. They looked at her for a minute before standing up. They held onto Paige and she orbed them out, heading for the place that she knew he would be.

Cole sat in the same spot where he had been several hours before when Paige had refused to vanquish him. He hadn't thought of anything except for the look in Paige's eyes when she hadn't done it. Was it love? Had that one night of passion and tenderness compared to the seven nights of torture and hate? Had it made a difference? Was it possible? And how did he feel about her? Was it mutual?

"No," his demonic half answered.

"How do you know?" his human half asked.

"You do not love her. You need to take her again," the demon said.

"No. I won't," the human said.

"What?"

"I won't do it. I'm not going to hurt her again. I'm done," he said.

"No you're not!"

"Yes, damn it, I am!"

"I'll kill you."

"Go ahead," Cole said. With that, his demonic half was silent. "That's what I thought. It was never Paige's fault. It was mine. Yours to be exact. You stayed inside of me and waited for the opportunity to come out. When the Source possessed me, you did. That's when we were ruined, Phoebe and I. I've never been able to come back from that. You tricked me into believing that Paige was the problem, but now I see that you were wrong. So I'm done. It's over."

Blue and white orbs filled the room and the four sisters appeared. Phoebe, Prue, and Piper looked angry and determined to kill him. Paige looked scared, but still ready to accept the fact that it had to happen.

"I thought you'd bee here soon," Cole said. Phoebe walked up to him and punched him. Cole did nothing about it. She pulled back, ready to punch again.

"No!" Paige yelled. She ran to Cole and looked him in the eye. "Do you love me?" she asked. Cole looked surprised.

"No. Last night was amazing, Paige. It made me realize that you were never the one to blame for what happened with Phoebe and I. It was my fault all along. I know that doesn't make up for what I did. But I still love Phoebe, and I'll die loving Phoebe. But as my last word I'd like to say: I'm sorry," Cole replied. Paige said nothing; she only walked back to her sisters and looked at the spell. She then nodded to her sisters and they said the spell together.

"The searing wounds of 1000 knives, the painful loss of 1000 lives, the stinging bruises of 1000 hits, the painful results of 1000 fits, the pain you felt you now shall know, to hell forever you shall go, we no longer want you in our sights, and take with you this endless night," they recited. With each word, tears came to Paige's eyes. She stared into Cole's eyes and watched as they filled with pain and turned a nasty yellow and then burned black before they disappeared along with the rest of Cole. His screams still resounded in the air and they all just stood there, staring at the spot where he once was. Paige's tears still fell for everything that would happen. It was the last time she would ever cry for Cole or what her did to her.

I think there will be one or two more chapters. I couldn't make Cole die as a bad guy. I like him too much. Did I scare ya with the 'I love you' thing? I like to scare you guys every once in a while. Paige has some serious emotional baggage to deal with still. Hope you liked the chapter. Till next time...
