"I'm so sorry, " Phoebe says throwing the fire ball into the trash can. It lights up the room as the papers inside of it burns. We all just sort of stand there for a moment.
"I-" I start but I have no clue what I want to say.
"Phoebe, you can't keep that baby," Piper says. I nodd my head in agreement. A single tear slides down Phoebe's eye because she knows it too.
"I'm stronger than it is. We'll raise her to be good." Phoebe tries.
"Drink this," Piper says taking some of the Belthazor Vanquishing potion out of the fridge. Phoebe puts the bottle to her lip but it bursts into flames before any of it touches her mouth.
"Oh man," Phoebe says. Piper picks up another bottle from the fridge and while Phoebe is still shocked from the first bottle explosion she throws it at Phoebe's stomach. It makes contact soaking through her white shirt.
I cringe as I see Phoebe's skin bubble. Phoebe whimpers and screams as she clutches her stomach. She runs into the bathroom and we can hear her puking. Lovely.
Leo goes after her to heal her burnt skn.
"You think that's dealt with?" I ask Piper.
"Well, the devil baby may be dealt with, but Phoebe certainly isn't. AndI can't say thatI really think Cole will stay vanquished." Piper says
"Story of our lives," I mutter. I look up at the clock that's above Piper's head and see that it's four thirty in the morning. What a long day.
"Tea?" Piper offers. I accept a glass asI sit at the table with her. Then another and another as we wait for Phoebe and Leo to come back or for an ounce of tiredness.
"Shh" Leo says as he enters the kitchen carying a shirtless Phoebe. In anyother family this would not be a happy sight, but were extatic to see them come in.
Her stomach is obviously healed, but still a bit red and raw. Her face looks numb as she sleeps.
"I'm going to take her upstairs." he whispers. Piper and I share a releaved look.
"I'm going to go to bed." I say. Not so much because I'm tired, but because I can't drink another ounce of tea and Piper and Leo probobly need some husband and wife time.
I lay awake in bed for a while before I feel my eyelids become heavy.
I wake up less than an hour later. I sit up, and look at the clock. My agravation triples as I realize I've only been asleep for thirty four minutes.
Now I have to get up and go to the bathroom, damn all the tea. I slowly stand up, and squint my eyes so I can get used to the dark. When I open the door to my room I hear whispering.
I orb without even thinking it scares me so much. I open the door trying to be as quiet as possible. I follow the noise to outside of Phoebe's door then I stop to listen.
And ofcoarse, I have to step on a creeky flore board. The noise stops abruptly. I wait a minute or two to hear who ever is talking. I wonder if it's a demon...
Then I hear that Phoebe's crying. I'm about to kick open the door, but then I hear her talk.
"I missed you." I hear Phoebe whisper, "I didn't think I'd be able to see you again,"
Oh, no. Oh, no. Please don't say Cole is back.I stay for another moment to hear the other voice talk again, but I hear nothing, and as much as I'd love to sit hear and listen in I have to go to the bathroom.
I move on wondering what it means if Cole's back. I really thought my sisters vanquished him, if not for good well, atleast for a few days. I guess I trusted them.
I wonder if they lied to me about vanquishing him, or if he really came back all that fast.
Once I get back in to bed I know I'm not going to fall back asleep. Now that I know that Cole may be back.
Somehow though, my thoughts drift and eventually I fall asleep.
