Chapter 9
Paige woke up the next morning refreshed. She spotted her outfit and sighed. She opened her bedroom door to see Cole an another man talking. Then the man shimmered away. Paige walked out.
"Who was that?" asked Paige.
"That's our new guard" said Cole.
"A guard" cried Paige. "We're going to be watched"
"Dezax doesn't want anything to happen to us" said Cole. "But I told the demon to tell Dezax that won't be necessary"
"Good" said Paige.
"But there is one more thing" said Cole. "There is going to be demons popping in and checking on us. So we have to sleep in the same room and be an actual couple"
"As in have sex?" asked Paige.
"No" said Cole. "We don't have to go that far"
"I don't know Cole" said Paige. " I still can't trust you fully"
"Paige obviously you have insecurities" said Cole. "But we have to finish this"
Paige crossed her arms. "I hope you don't sleep in the nude"
Cole threw up his hands and went into his room. Paige cried out and tugged her hair. She wondered what her sisters were doing and felt guilty for lying.
Dezax and Cole were drinking brandy.
"The coronation is in two days" said Dezax. "I need you there by my side"
Cole smiled. "Of course buddy"
"Remember when we were kids and we played the best practical tricks" said Dezax laughing. "Those were the best times" said Cole. He finished his brandy.
"What do you have planned for The Elders?" asked Cole.
Dezax put his glass down and sat back.
"First I'm thinking of kidnapping The Charmed Ones' whitelighter" said Dezax. "Then I'll threaten his wife's life so he can do my bidding. With Paige and Leo they could spy on The Elders and start picking off the whitelighters"
"Nice plan" said Cole. "Leaving the other Charmed Ones defenseless"
"Takes planning" said Dezax. "Before you went crazy and betrayed is you were damn good at what you did. So I want you to head up this little plan. Then after this is over I want that whitelighter of yours dead"
Paige was rummaging through some silk. A woman shimmered to her and brought some jewels.
"You may go" said Paige remembering what Cole said.
The woman shimmered away. Paige turned on the tv. She flicked through the trash tv. Cole shimmered in with a bottle of wine.
"I don't drink" said Paige eyeing him.
"I know" said Cole. "This is from Dezax"
"Oh" said Paige. "So what did he say?"
Cole told him what Dezax told him but left out the part about killing him.
"The coronation is in two days" said Cole. "That's when I want to do this"
"Ok" said Paige. "So are we done?"
"Almost" said Cole. "But we should start our planning and signals"
"Fine" said Paige. "You want to order out"
"Chinese?" asked Cole.
Paige looked in the drawer and found several menus. "Here we are"
Cole saw Paige on the couch asleep. She looked so beautiful. He looked down as Paige stirred. She opened her eyes.
"What time is it?" asked Paige.
"12:43am" answered Cole.
Paige looked at him. "What are you doing?"
Cole realized he was gripping an athame. Paige stood up quickly.
"I can't do this" she said. "I can't ignored what you did to me last year and this"
Cole sighed. "Hello possessed by the Source"
"It doesn't matter" cried Paige. "You made my sisters think I was bitter and I almost went insane and bit by a vampire"
"Oh and I saved you petite ass didn't I?" screamed Cole.
Paige was startled. She started to walk towards the bedroom. Cole grabbed her arm.
"Get it together" said Cole.
Paige glared at him as she slammed the bedroom door shut.
Next afternoon
Paige came out she saw Cole had his shirt off and long pants on with boots.
"We need to train" said Cole.
"The last time I trained with you it didn't work out" said Paige.
"We'll your on your own body now so maybe you will be better" said Cole.
Paige went back into her room and changed. She stared at Cole.
He's so hot, she thought.
She shook the thought away. Paige got into her fighting stance. Her and Cole sparred for a little while. Paige went into the kitchen and drank some water. Then she proceeded with her training.
"Your better than I thought" said Cole shrugging.
Paige kicked his feet from under him and they both collapsed on top of eachother. They breathed heavily. Paige looked into Cole's eyes. And before she did anything she would regret she stood up.
Next chapter will be the final flashback. Unfortunately that will likely be Monday. Depends if they have internet in the hotel. Please REVIEW! Blessed Be!
