A/N: Hi everyone! Just so you know I've altered a couple of chapters. Nothing big, just adding a couple of extra lines to conversations etc. Amyway, here's the next chapter and thanks again to everyone who reviewed!

Paige opened her eyes slowly. She hurt all over and it took her a moment to realise where she was. When she recognised her surroundings she started to panic and tried to sit up but found that her wrists were secured behind her back and that moving caused pain to erupt all over her body. It was then that she realised she was naked.

Cole entered the room and grinned down at her. Paige noticed that his jaw had completely healed. "Good, I was beginning to wonder when you'd wake up."

"My sisters will find a way to vanquish you! Phoebe will never take you back if you kill me!"

"Oh, I think she will. You see, when you're dead I'm going to cast a spell over their memories so that they think someone else killed you. Of course I'll have to do it to that pesky whitelighter too. I'm even going to make them all think that I tried to save you! Genius eh? But enough talking. Let's get down to business." He took a roll of tape from his pocket and stuck a strip securely over her mouth to prevent her from calling for help.

Cole then began kicking her viscously over and over again. Unable to protect herself, Paige tried to roll out the way and received an especially hard kick for her troubles. She brought her knees up to her chest and tucked her head down to try and protect herself as best she could. Even so she still felt a few bones snap and break.

After a while, Cole decided that the kicking was getting boring so he conjured a crowbar. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me and Phoebe!" He raised the crowbar above his head and brought it down with such force Paige felt her shoulder shatter. She tried to scream but the tape prevented her from making any noise other than moans and whimpers. Cole beat her some more then the crowbar disappeared and was replaced with an athame.

Rolling her onto her stomach, he undid her hands, knowing that she wouldn't be able to fight back now. He leaned down so that his mouth was by her ear. "I know what you went through before you met your half-sisters. You brought it on yourself you know… You're a whore, Paige, and I'm going to make sure everyone knows it." Putting the tip of the knife to her back he slowly carved the word 'whore' deep into her flesh. Paige cried and struggled but he pressed his knee into her lower back to keep her still until he'd finished.

He flipped her over so that she was lying on her back. "Don't cry, half breed, it's almost over. I've just got one more thing to do before I end your miserable existence." As he began undoing his trousers Paige suddenly realised what he was planning to do and tried her best to get away from him. He punched her hard, breaking her jaw, then positioned himself between her legs. Paige whimpered and a shooting pain shot up through her jaw.

"This is for every ounce of pain you've caused me." Then without another word he shoved himself inside her. Every part of Paige's body screamed in resistance and she felt blood oozing out from between her legs as he pounded into her again and again. She tried to struggle with him but he was much stronger than her and every struggle cost her a punch or slap. Eventually she just lay there limply waiting for him to stop.

It seemed like a lifetime to Paige before he was finished. He lay on top of her for a minute, panting, then slowly pulled himself out of her. Getting to his feet he fastened his trousers back up and left the room. She didn't want to think about what he was going to do next. She was shaking badly from a mixture of shock and pain and she felt like she was going to be sick.

She heard a car screech to a halt outside and begged to any God that was listening that it wasn't her sisters. She couldn't let them see her like this. She was dirty… She was a whore. She didn't want them to see her for what she really was. She'd had a hard enough time getting them to accept her when they first met. Especially Piper. She couldn't stand to see the disappointment and disgust in her sisters eyes. She didn't want to watch yet another person she cared about turn and abandon her.

She heard the elevator doors open and braced herself. She knew that they wouldn't want anything to do with her once they saw what had happened.
