AN: Hiya, sorry it's took a while to update, I've been busy with school and other things and I also had a big writers block which hadn't helped things but hopefully you'll enjoy the new chapter. So here it is….
Chapter 4… You love me?
"I'm just going to check on your sisters, see what they're up to. Don't move now." Cole said and chuckled. "Not like you can." He then shimmered away and left Phoebe alone in the underworld.
He had shimmered into the Halliwell Manor, and Paige just missed him as he swerved round a corner. "Piper Honey, you ready?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, I'm just getting Leo to send the boys to magic school because he's coming with us and making the last touch to the potions." She replied.
Wait a sec, potions? Have they found where Phoebe was? Or is it just another demon hunt? Cole had to find out more. He shape shifted into Paige, he had stolen this power when he was building his strength back up to return to the real world.
"Piper, do we know where Phoebe is?" He asked.
"Of course we do, what are you playing at Paige?" Piper replied suspiciously.
"Oh… erm… nothing… I just meant… do we know exactly where she is?" He said with a sigh of relief.
"No, but like I've already told you, we know she's in the underworld. Now can you stop being funny?" Piper said as she passed Wyatt and Chris to Leo.
How do they know? They're bringing Leo? Damn he'll be able to sense her. Stupid white lighters. That's how they know. Damn it! Cole thought to himself, and then heard Paige coming down the stairs.
"Erm, yeah… sure… just erm… one sec." He said and rushed off. Piper just looked confusingly at Leo. Cole ran into the living room, looked around cautiously and then shimmered away back to the underworld.
"You're lucky Phoebe. They know you're here. But you aren't getting away that easily come on dear." Cole said. He untied her legs from the chair and heaved her up over his shoulder. It was time they got out of here.
Just seconds later Paige, Piper and Leo arrived at Coles' hideout. They searched everywhere for Phoebe and couldn't find her. "Damn it we've missed her." Leo said angrily.
"I can't believe we have. Only if we were quicker…" Paige began but Piper interrupted.
"Look Paige. There is no point blaming ourselves. We've missed her now. But we will find her." Piper said doubtfully. Paige knew she was worried. She could see it in her eyes. They took one final look around and Piper saw the photograph of Phoebe that had been missing from her bedside table. "Guys." She said. Leo and Paige looked at her.
"Look, it's the picture of Phoebe from my room, what is it doing here?" She asked in a confused manner and picked up the photo. The others just looked at her and shrugged. No one understood. Why would the picture of Phoebe be here? It didn't make sense. Piper took hold of Leo and Paige's hand and orbed away. They had to find her.
BACK WITH PHOEBE AND COLE
"You son of a bitch." She said, "Why are you doing this to me?" she questioned.
"You're so funny Phoebe. You're like a Martian. You really don't understand do you?" He asked. "I still love you. Never stopped loving you, and I hate myself for that." He added.
Phoebe looked speechless. She didn't know what she was supposed to say… but from all the time she had been thinking about him she realized, she never really stopped loving him either. "You still love me?" She repeated.
"Yes. I always have Phoebe Halliwell. You've hurt me so much. Marring that daisy Coop? Yes, I know about him. So now I've decided to… lets just say to take revenge." He smirked evilly at her. Phoebe felt a rage of anger burst through her body. Even though she hated this man to pieces, she still loved him slightly. That's what made her so angry. She will never be able to get Cole out of her life, and it made her want to scream inside. She looked straight into his eyes. They were cold, they were evil but yet, they were innocent.
Cole couldn't risk the sisters finding Phoebe… well, not just yet anyway. It wouldn't be too long before they found her in the underworld. So he decided to make a potion, like a force field to shelter him and Phoebe from any unexpected visitors. He needed her to understand why he was doing this, he wanted to show her his pain.
"Cole please," Phoebe begged, "Just let me go. I've moved on now. I'm a married woman now. In the future I…."
Cole interrupted, "You have a little girl. Just as you have always wanted, Steph? I know." Cole was getting angrier, she just couldn't get it. He yelled and threw a fireball towards the wall, missing Phoebe by inches. At that moment he realized when he looked at Phoebe's scared face why she didn't love him, she was scared that he was going to hurt her. "Do not move." He said sternly and then shimmered away.
WITH PAIGE, PIPER, LEO AND COLE
"Where is she?" Leo asked quickly looking around. Cole shimmered into Leo's view but quickly dodged out of the way before he could recognize him, but Leo swore he saw something. So he decided to go look, he began to feel tense and awkward. It was like a weird feeling like somebody was watching him. But they had just vanquished all the demons and it wouldn't be long until the word got around they were there, it didn't make any sense. He started looking around cautiously…
"Leo, what are you doing?" Whispered Cole,
"Who said that?" Leo questioned.
"Do you not remember me?" Cole asked lighting a energy ball, "You know me, come on, does my voice not sound a little familiar?" Cole said in a patronizing voice. He knew he was getting to Leo, this was exactly what he wanted.
"Stop playing games, who are you?" Leo said getting agitated,
"Now now Leo, I don't want you getting stressed now." Cole couldn't help but laugh to himself. Leo was looking everywhere trying to find Coles voice, and he just found it amusing.
"You're getting closer Leo Wyatt, but not close enough. You're still pretty cold. I'll ask some questions whilst I wait for you to find me. How are the boys? You didn't tell me Piper was expecting did you? When did Paige get married, and Phoebe? All 3 girls taken, a lot has changed since I was last here hasn't it?"
Leo was getting closer to Cole, and the more he spoke the more familiar his voice became. He had defiantly heard it before. A lot of times, but whom does it belong to?
"Leo honey, who are you talking to?" Piper asked.
"Sssh" Leo replied. "Somebody is here." He carried on, "But I can't think of who it is."
Cole still had his energy ball lit and decided to throw it at the wall, purposely missing Paige, but it looked like it was aimed at her. He then quickly shimmered away and Leo could only see his shimmer.
"Paige? Are you ok?" Piper asked sounding concerned.
"Yes I'm fine, it missed me anyway. What was that?" Paige replied.
"My biggest guess is an energy ball." Piper answered.
"His voice, so familiar, but I can't think of who it is." Leo said, he was very confused, it had to be somebody he knew. But who?
WITH PHOEBE
With Cole gone, it was Phoebes best shot of getting away, she started looking around looking for exits. It's the underworld, there had to be one linking to another place somewhere. But Phoebe's time was limited. She had to hurry.
She noticed a footstep trail on the floor. She knelt down to see if it was fresh, she ran through it with her fingers and weirdly got a premonition.
She could see Paige and Piper with Cole. They had him cornered with 2 vanquishing potions each and Cole had a fireball lit in both hands. Leo was on the floor with what it looked like an energy ball wound in his right shoulder. She then heard a voice out of nowhere saying "Don't! You can't do it. I won't let you."
Her vision slowly came back into the room and she was looking at a pair of feet. Coles.
"I thought I told you to stay put." He said angrily. Phoebe got up slowly and faced Cole. She looked at him for a while, examining him from head to foot and then just stayed looking right into his eyes which made him squint and look away. She slowly backed away. She wasn't scared of him, she knew he couldn't really hurt her. Well, that's what she hoped.
Cole was looking away, but eventually made eye contact with Phoebe. He saw the fear in her eyes. She looked so scared and Cole began to feel guilty and thought, Cole you can't do this to her, you love her too much. Just let her go. He stayed looking at her, with her looking right back and then thought, what are you thinking? She deserves this. She's hurt you so much. She deserves this. She deserves this. He thought that over and over again a pinned her against the wall.
"You really don't get why I'm doing this do you Phoebe?" He asked. He just watched as Phoebe slowly shook her head. "Well, it won't be long until you do." He did that evil smirk and then whispered, "It's because I love you Phoebe, that's why." And once again they shimmered away.
