Chapter 2
Phoebe tried to hold back her tears as she saw the man that she once loved… or still loved. Phoebe's feelings were all scattered and didn't know were she stood in her relationship with him
"C-Cole?" She stuttered tears rolling down her face
Cole looked up at her with confusion all around his face. He knew who she was and who her sister was but he didn't recognize the women scowling at him. He felt frightened again but didn't know how to express his feelings right then and there. He backed further into the pile.
"I-it's me" Phoebe managed to choke out.
Paige turned her attention to Piper who was holding Wyatt protectively
"Should we vanquished him or something?' asked Paige
"Let's see how he reacts to Phoebe first before we do anything" Piper suggested
Phoebe kneeled in front of Cole who had a look of disbelief across his face
Phoebe raised her hand up to grace Cole's cheek
"Baby, don't you recognize me?"
"A-a little" Cole manage to croak out and Phoebe immediately noticed little tear droplets falling down his face
Phoebe silently wiped them and was startled when Cole did the same thing to her
"I hate to break up this tender moment, but do we have to vanquish him or doesn't want to kill us or something" Paige spoke out to break the silence
Cole and Phoebe looked startled, Paige had a look of anger on her face that made Cole shake down to his toes and immediately started crying then lunged himself into Phoebe's arms searching for comfort
Phoebe became startled at Cole's reaction and almost out of instinct wrapped her arms around him
"Paige" Piper warned and pulled Paige back gently
"He feels warm" Phoebe whispered loudly enough so Piper and Paige could hear
"We will set up the couch for him" Piper suggested
"No my room, he would feel safer there" Phoebe said quietly and rubbed soothing circles in his back.
Piper nodded in agreement
"Paige why don't you orbed them to their room" Piper suggested
Paige immediately wanted to protest but one look from Piper changed her mind
Paige sighed and then walked over towards them and then orbed towards Phoebe's room
Paige orbed them onto Phoebe's bed and she immediately pulled away
Cole froze and started to shake. Phoebe could tell he was afraid, he almost seemed terrified of what happened
"Thanks Paige" Phoebe said sincerely
Paige didn't know what to say so she only mumbled welcome and practically took off into the hallway
Phoebe felt Cole bury his head into her neck and felt not to mention heard his whimpering.
"It's okay your safe now" Phoebe said gently so not to frighten him any futher
Cole looked up and sensed no other presence other than Phoebe and himself then let out a sigh of relief
"Safe… your safe" Cole mumbled and snuggled down into Phoebe's arms
Phoebe looked confused
"Cole, when was the last time you saw me?" Phoebe asked gently
"In underworld" Cole mumbled sleepily
Phoebe let out a gasp, now she was sure that it wasn't her Cole who did all those horrible things to her and her family.
"Yes Cole we're safe" Phoebe told him
"Kept the family safe" Cole mumbled some more
"You did" Phoebe said fighting back tears
"I'm loved…I'm safe" Was the last thing Phoebe heard before Cole drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face
"Yes Cole you are safe" Phoebe said hesitantly
How can she let the former love of her life know that the world as he know it was no more.
