Chapter 5… Unprepared

Phoebe was being squeezed in Cole's arms as they came into the vision of Paige, Piper and Leo. They were speechless. Cole was back, Cole? They had rid of him for sure. They didn't understand.

"Here, have her." Cole said sternly pushing Phoebe in there direction. "Surprised to see me?" He remarked with a cheesy smirk. He lit a fireball in one hand and an energy ball in the other to show he wasn't playing any games. It was them or him. He was ready.

"Cole? What are you doing back?" Paige asked hesitantly

"Oh… you know the usual. You vanquish me so I build up a huge amount of hate for all of you and now I'm here to finish you off good and proper. I think you're used to the routine now." Cole replied sarcastically.

"Haha, you're a funny guy Cole I forgot what a weird sense of humor you have… it's pretty sick now coming to think of it." Leo chipped in.

"Who asked you white lighter?" Cole asked spitefully.

Leo just glared at him, but Piper was concerned about a different thing than Cole…

"Phoebe! Are you okay? He hasn't hurt you right? Because if he has I swear…"

Phoebe interrupted "I'm fine and he hasn't hurt me, there's no need to worry… but he might be interested in hurting us now?"

"You read my mind Phoebe, you read my mind." Cole butted in with a huge grin on his face. "You have been very quiet haven't you Paige? Any reason for that?" he added.

"Just thinking that's all." She replied and then pulled a potion out of her bag and aimed it in Cole's direction. It missed by inches and it got Cole really fired up. She had pushed it now. Let the game begin.

"Want to play it this way witch?" He said to Paige. "Then fine… we'll play it this way." He still had his fireball and energy ball in each hand. "Who to hit first?" He said puzzled. He looked at Piper ready to through it at her when he decides to trick the sisters and hit Paige… but to his annoyance Leo jumped in front of Paige and it hit him in the shoulder instead. It was a really strong energy ball as the cut was deep and it left Leo unconscious.

"Leo!" Piper cried.

"Not now Piper! We need to stop Cole!" Phoebe said. She gave Cole the evilest look he had ever seen. But they should know not to mess with Cole Turner. They were going to get it.

"Who's next?" He asked.

"You," Phoebe replied.

Cole was sick of Phoebe's cockiness and so he pushed her so hard she flew across the room. She began to feel so weak. Cole had become so strong she doubted if they could beat him. Her vision was really blurry he could only just make out who was who. Piper had thrown a potion at Cole and he hit him badly and his defense went down. This was their shot. They were going to beat him. Paige and Piper had him cornered with vanquishing potions in each hand. They brought their arms back ready to hit him when Phoebe screamed…. "No, you can't do it. I won't let you." They all turned and looked at Phoebe, they couldn't believe what she had just said. Especially not Cole, he was shocked. Why would she want them to stop? He had told her he was going to kill them and she stopped her sisters from killing him? He was really confused.

Phoebe paused… when she first saw her premonition she didn't understand why she had stopped them. She thought that maybe if she would have waited for it to come true she might understand. Everyone was so confused for different reasons. Paige and Piper were confused because they couldn't understand that the guy wanted to kill her she wanted to stop them from killing him. Cole because he was thinking she might have feelings for him again, and Phoebe because she didn't understand the meaning of her premonition. Everyone had just paused. They were all looking at Phoebe… except Leo who was lying on the floor unconscious of course.

They were just staring right at her. She looked each one of them right in the eye as her vision began to become clear again. She stood up and wiped the blood from her lip. She just stared right at Cole. She felt anger burst through her veins, she had never felt this way before. Her fists were clenched and there was evil in her eyes. She thought she still loved him that little bit. She slowly walked towards him pushing Piper and Paige out of the way. It was like something had taken over her body. She continued walking until she was touching chest to chest and she hadn't lost eye contact with him. They were looking eye to eye and Paige and Piper were looking with confusedness. She felt that old spark again and kissed him passionately. Paige and Piper were disgusted with shock and they were watching with their mouths wide open.

"Phoebe what are you doing?" Piper shouted and dragged her off Cole and pushed her to the floor.

"This man wants to kill you and there you are snogging his face off? What are you playing at?" Paige said

Phoebe looked up at Piper evilly and then got up and walked over to Paige and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Paige replied with a nod and left them to go and see Leo. He was hurt really bad. Paige started to heal him and she was afraid it wasn't going to work. "Come on Leo, fight it. Think of Piper and the boys." She said to him with tears in her eyes. "Come Leo please." She added. After 10 minutes of trying to heal Leo his wound slowly began to close. Paige felt so relieved once he had woken up.

"Paige?" Leo asked.

"Yeah it's me. I thought you were a gone for a minute then" She replied with a smile and helped him up.

"Where's that Cole? He's going to get it big time." Leo said angrily.

"Ah! Mr. Leo Wyatt has woken! Hope my little energy ball hadn't hurt too much." Cole said giggling. He was holding Phoebe at his side and they both smirked evilly and then they shimmered away.

"What is that girl playing at?" Piper asked.

"Piper she knows what she's doing." Paige replied.

"I don't care if she does we're going to find her can any of you sense her?"

"Yeah," Leo said weakly, "She's at the Manor." He and Paige grabbed Pipers hand and orbed to the manor.

"Phoebe? Phoebe!" Paige shouted.

"I'm up here, in the attic." She shouted back.

Paige and Piper rushed up to the attic to find Cole in a ring of crystals being shocked.

Phoebe moved one crystal away and asked Cole, "Why are you doing this?" He didn't reply. "Why are you doing this?" She asked once more.

"You know why Phoebe! You know." He said quietly and then went into his pocket and pulled out 4 potions. He hit them all one at a time.

Piper laughed, "What was that supposed to do?"

"You'll see, try and blast me Piper, Paige and Leo try and orb, Phoebe try and levitate." He said smugly.

They all tried and it was no use. He had bounded their powers for the time being. "You're not laughing now are you Piper?" He said and laughed himself and quickly stepped out of the crystals.

"Ah… It might not be as much fun if you can't fight back. We'll see though." Cole said

"You think you're great don't you Cole? You think you're being skillful don't you Cole? You think you're going to win don't you Cole? Well let's just wait and see shall we? You wouldn't dare hurt the girl you love so much would you Cole? You wouldn't hurt the girl who was pregnant with your son would you Cole. You haven't got the guts. Have you Cole?" Phoebe said patronizingly.

Cole's breath began to get heavier and he clenched his fists, why was she saying this? He began to get angrier every time he looked at Phoebe. You haven't got the guts. Kept running through his mind, he didn't want to hurt Phoebe. His plan was the hurt Paige and Piper to make her feel pain like he did.

"Go on Cole, this is your big chance. Finish us off. Go on." Phoebe said.

He really didn't want to hurt Phoebe but she was trying his patience and he knew sooner or later his anger would take over. If she wouldn't stop he knew he'd end up doing something he regretted. He had to make her stop. He had to.

"Not such a hard man now are you?" She said.

"Phoebe stop." Cole said.

"Why should I big boy?" She replied

"Just stop!!" Cole said and hit her with a fireball which like Leo knocked her out.

"Phoebe!" Paige cried and they all ran over to her.

"You moron, she isn't breathing!" Piper screamed at him.

"We have to get her to a hospital!" Paige said with tears falling from her eyes.

"I told her to stop, I really didn't want to hurt her." Cole said with guilt.

"That's a bit late now isn't it?" Leo answered back.

"Come on Phoebe don't leave us now please." Piper said in tears. She couldn't leave them now. They needed her. Cole felt so much guilt looking at her led on the floor. He hadn't intended any of this to happen. He loved her, he just wanted her to feel pain. He didn't want her to die. Was it too late?
