Drum roll please...
Here it is the final chapter. Need I say more?
Chapter 9
Flashback
Phoebe had just awoken from an odd premonition.
In the premonition she was tied to a coffin in the crypt. Barbas had had a lower level demon kidnap her. Something Phoebe could have easily avoided but there must have been some reason behind it. She felt herself mutter a distinct spell. Though she did not know what it meant she could remember it word for word. Right when the spell was muttered she heard Barbas. He was saying something to what she supposed was another demon.
It was Cole. But why could she hear him? He was trapped in another realm or at least that is what Piper had told her. It must have been the spell. She heard rustling around her. And Cole screaming something about not harming her. Quickly she used her empathy power to sense the demons that were surrounding her. She felt an energy ball being hurtled her way. Focusing she led the energy ball towards the ropes that bound her. She was free.
The feeling of surprise around her gave her primal opportunity to vanquish these demons. She fought her way through them, stealing an athamay from one and using her skills of fighting on another. Stealing a quick glance at Cole she realized he was watching her with a smile on his face. Yet there was something else she noticed. Barbas was right behind him ready to kill.
"Cole!"
Back at the crypt
Barbas lunged at Cole with an athamay ready in his hand. Phoebe tried to get to him in time but there were too many demons still attacking her. Cole turned but it was too late. With a deathly blow Barbas impaled the athamay into Cole's side.
Searing pain seeped through Cole's being. Clutching his side he fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.
"Cole!" Phoebe's eyes were streamed with tears as anger and hatred raged throughout her body. She ran towards Cole vanquishing any demon that got in her way. Kneeling down by his side she gently laid him on his back. Keeping a hand on his wound she stared into his eyes. Cole raised his arm to sweep that one strand of hair that always seemed to be in her eyes. There eyes were locked in undying passion for one another. Cole and Phoebe were too engaged in the moment to realize their physical contact.
"Emotions, they are stupid but they always lead to fear!" roared Barbas. Afraid of what would happen next Phoebe called for Paige and soon bright white lights filled the room. Standing over Phoebe, Piper and Paige glanced around the familiar surroundings.
"Phoebe, what the hell are we doing in here?" Piper said this with a slight smile in seeing that her sister was safe and appeared to be in a demon free environment.
"Quick! Barbas is here and Cole is hurt."
"Cole? Sweetie he's dead. You know I vanquished him…" That is when Paige glanced at the body lying near her sister. "But what, I-I don't understand."
"There's no time to explain Paige, we have to vanquish Barbas and you have to heal Cole."
"Phoebe where is Barbas?"
"Oh, that's right you can't see him can you? Well he's right over…" Phoebe glanced to where the demon of fear had been only moments ago. "He's gone."
Quickly Phoebe shook out of her shocked state. "Please Paige? Can you heal Cole as much as possible? It doesn't look too deep." Paige placed her hands on Cole's side and soon enough all that remained was a little scratch.
"Phoebe!"
"Cole!"
They pulled each other into a tight embrace. Mutterings of "I love you" and "I missed you so" were shared back and forth. Then they paused and stared deeply into each other eyes. Watching as the two locked in a passionate kiss Piper and Paige turned there backs on them.
"I never thought I would see that again, you?"
"I hoped I would never see that again. Come on let's leave them alone for a bit." Again white lights filled the room as the two sister's departed.
After a few minutes Phoebe broke away from the kiss. "Cole? What's going to happen now? I mean, I still don't fully understand everything…"
"All that matters is that I am here now and I don't plan on leaving you ever again."
"But Cole, it's been like that every time. And each time you make these promises but you either end up dead, insane, or evil. I don' know if I can trust you this time."
"I'm not asking you to put your trust in me but in our love."
"Cole, I'm being serious. What's going to happen if we follow the usual occurrences?"
"Let that be the worries of tomorrow. All I know is that our love has outlasted all. It can do it again. And who knows maybe this time will be different. Hey, it's worth a try."
At that he went back to his one true love and their undying kiss.
