Ice
Last Chapter :
"Ahh, but you see this is not the witch I want. If you get me the witch I truly desire then I shall grant my end bargain." He smiled a bit.
"You see, this witch" he pointed at Paige again. "is no longer of any importance, you see, the witch I desire, is Phoebe."
The Underworld
As soon as his guests left Cole turned to her again.
She looked at him with hate and disgust. "I knew you were up to something, we should never have trusted you!" she yelled. "You sick asshole, if you go near her, I swear"
"Now, now, Paige. There's no need for you to be so angry." He said casually.
"Why don't you just give up?! She doesn't love you anymore, she's moved on!"
"You're wrong, Phoebe loves me and she always will."
"You're crazy, do you know that?! You had your chance with her and you screwed up, get it?! She loved you, she married you, she was going to have your baby, but you chose to be the Source instead. You lost her, and it's your own fault." She spat angrily.
"But this time I won't. See, Phoebe left me, because of you, because of her natural urge to help innocents, to be a Charmed One, so by, and this is were you come in, eliminating the Power of Three there won't be any Charmed Ones anymore, no more saving innocents, leaving Phoebe to once again become my Queen."
"So, you're going to use me as bait, and then kill me?"
"Yes, I thought it would be harder for Phoebe to understand if I killed her 'full' sister, and Piper also has a husband and a child."
"....." In her mind Paige tried to process everything he just told her. She felt scared, hurt, angry. She didn't know whether to attack him or to cry. A part of her wanted to fall down on her knees and beg him not to kill her. 'Be strong Paige, be strong. Fight this.' She thought. "She's not going to fall for it. If you kill me she'll never love you. And anyways, once they show up, we're going to vanquish you." She said angrily
"You're wrong Paige, she won't be able to kill the person who was to be the father of her child."
"That baby died, it was never even born"
"Because you vanquished me!" He yelled in frustration.
Paige looked at him in shock. "You think the baby died because you died?" She asked. He looked at her, for a moment it seemed he was confused. "Phoebe was pregnant for almost two weeks after you died! The reason that baby wasn't born, was because the Seer took it from her, and we in return vanquished her!"
Halliwell Manor
"Vanquishing Potion?" Piper asked
"Check." Phoebe replied
"Vanquishing Spell?"
"Check."
"Whitelighter?"
"Here." Leo said, Orbing into the kitchen.
"Let's go, we can't waste any more time." Phoebe said. "Piper, first thing you do when we get there is to freeze everyone there okay? We'll find Paige easily seeing as she's the only one who isn't frozen."
"What about Cole? The Source doesn't freeze as long as the other demons." Leo asked.
"We just keep freezing him until we find her. Then we say the spell and we get out of there."
POP!
"You heard that?" Piper asked casciously
"Yeah. I'll check." Leo said. "You two stay here."
(AN: If anyone's wondering Wyatt's with the sister's dad.)
He made his way into the living room as quiet as possible. From what he could see everything seemed to be alright. Then he heard a scream from the kitchen.
----'----
"WHAT are you four doing here?!" Piper yelled at Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione.
"We...we came to help." Hermione said slowly.
"No! No, no, no, NO! You are going back to school now, or you're going to be in so much trouble." Phoebe warned them.
"We just want to help Professor." Ron said.
"You CAN'T help! This is none of your business!" Piper argued.
"We care about Paige too." Draco retorted.
"That doesn't matter! Paige is our sister, our responsibility." Phoebe said.
"You have to understand, we've lost one sister, and we are not doing anything that might jeopardize Paige. You have to stay." Piper added.
"Piper, is everything okay?!" Leo asked bursting into the kitchen. "I heard scream....What are they doing here?" He asked referring to the four British teens.
"They came to help us save Paige." Piper started.
"They can't. It's too dangerous." Leo interjected.
"Yeah, we already told them that, but they're a bit stubborn." Piper said sarcastically.
"We are not!" Ron said defensively.
"Actually, Ronald, you are quite stubborn." Hermione told him.
"Whatever." He muttered, his face turning red.
"Point is, you four are leaving now!" Piper said. "And I mean NOW!"
"You have to let us help you!" Harry said angrily.
"No! God, we are wasting so much time, Piper, Leo, let's go." Phoebe said determined.
The four kids looked angry and sad.
"Stay here." Leo told them. "We might need you when we get back."
And then the three of them Orbed to the Underworld.
Back to the Underworld
Cole looked at her blankly for a few seconds, then he turned and yelled.
"SEER!" He hollered into the darkness of the cave-tunnels.
The Seer appeared by his side moments later.
He immediately grabbed her by the throat, holding her up levelling her eyes with his, who had now turned charcoal black.
The Seer on the other hand showed no sign of emotion or feeling.
"You took the baby from Phoebe?" He hissed.
"Do not listen to her. She is trying to corrupt you." She said with no difficulty, sounding as if he was not cutting of her air-supply.
"I'm NOT lying!" Paige shrieked.
"I would never harm the heir of the Source." The Seer said softly. It sounded like she was putting him under some sort of transce.
Cole let go of the Seer.
He was fighting an internal battle in his mind, trying to find out what to do next.
He turned to face Paige again, his eyes cold and empty.
He raised his arm and opened his hand. In it formed a fire-ball.
"You lied to me."
He attacked.
The last thing you heard was a painfull scream, and then she disappeared into dust.
