AN: Glad you all liked the chapter and I'm sorry about the cliffhanger. I thought I wouldn't leave writing this chapter too long to make up for it. So here's the new chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 6… Is She Dead?

Leo quickly grabbed Phoebe and raced to the car with Paige, Piper and Cole following. She was bleeding too much from her stomach and if they didn't hurry she was going to die. They couldn't lose another sister. Piper looked behind and saw Cole rushing with them. "You did this to her. She might be dead because of you! You are not coming anywhere near us again, especially not Phoebe." Piper said she was heartbroken. Cole stepped back and with tears in his eyes watched the car speed away. He had to make sure she was going to be safe.

Paige, Piper and Leo tried as hard as they could to speed to the hospital but got caught in a huge traffic jam. Leo beeped his car horn thousands of times but it was no use. They were stuck and they were so close to the hospital. He had to think of something.

Leo turned to Piper and Paige and said "You two stay here and take the car to the hospital, I'll take Phoebe." He got out the car and grabbed Phoebe from the back seat. "Leo what are you doing?" Paige asked.

"He's taking her to the hospital." Piper answered and took control of the wheel.

The hospital was now about 10 minutes away on foot and Leo ran as fast as he could holding Phoebe on his arms. After 5 or 6 minutes he began to tire out but he knew he couldn't give up. Phoebe's life was literally in his hands and he couldn't leave her to die.

He was eventually at the ER room (Emergency room) and ran breathless to the reception. He started to say to the receptionist taking breaths in between each word, "Help… you… have… to help… she… isn't breathing… I don't… want… her to… die."

"Ok sir we will do the best we can." She replied and rushed off to go get help. Within two minutes 3 nurses and 2 doctors circled around him and Phoebe and he led her on the bed. She looked so helpless. She didn't deserve to die.

Another nurse came up to Leo. "Hello sir, please may I ask you what relation you are to this young lady? She asked.

"She's my sister-in-law. Her sisters are on their way."

"Ok sir, follow me and I will show you to the relatives room." She said politely

"What… so I don't get to see her?" He asked sounded confused.

"No sorry sir, not at the moment. Please follow me."

Leo exhaustedly just nodded and followed the young nurse. The second he got there he sat down and put his head in his hands. "You won't let her die… right?" Leo asked hesitantly.

"We will try our very best to save Miss Haliwell." She answered with a nervous smile. "I will come and let you know if there is any news." She added.

Leo wasn't alone long before Piper and Paige came through the door. "Leo! Honey you look exhausted." Piper said hugging him tightly and in return Leo just sighed. His mind was full of doubts if I ran quicker she might have more of a chance. If I didn't tire out we would have been here faster. If she dies it's my fault. He was so worried, but he knew he did his best.

After two hours of worrying a doctor finally came in to tell them about Phoebe's condition,

"Hello, I'm Doctor Mason and Phoebe Haliwell is my patient. There is some bad news. Her wound was very deep so we had to rush her into surgery. Thankfully the surgery was successful but there is some temporary damage. Phoebe's condition is stable for the time being but she is in a very critical coma. I am really sorry to say this but she may not wake up."

Piper and Paige immediately started crying, Leo had tears in his eyes and knew he had to stay strong and hugged them both tightly.

"So you mean… she may… die?" Leo asked.

"That may be the case Mr. Wyatt, but there have been people that have woken up and made a full recovery. I don't want to get your hopes up she may be like his for a long time. We will study her brain reactivity and hopefully this will give us some sort of estimate of how long it will take Phoebe to wake up."

"Can we see her?" Paige asked.

"Of course follow me." Doctor Mason replied and showed them to Phoebe's room. She looked so weak led there, so helpless. Paige and Piper sat along side her and took her hands.

"You're going to be okay sweetie." Paige whispered.

"We're going to get Cole. He is going to pay don't you worry." Piper added.

Paige began to run her fingers lightly around the bandages of her stomach. She could feel the stitches and where the hold had been and it made her quiver. She felt so angry. How could Cole do that to her sister, and he said he loved her? What a joke.

It was now 1.30 in the morning and Doctor Mason came back into Phoebe's room. "You all look exhausted, go and have some sleep. We will call you if anything changes. You will be the first to know."

Leo nodded and slowly got up and Paige and Piper quickly followed suit. They said their final words to Phoebe and then left her, they were coming back first thing in the morning.

Just moments later Cole arrived at the ER reception. "Hello is there a Miss Phoebe Haliwell?"

"Your relation to her is?" The receptionist questioned.

"I'm her fiancé." Cole lied, "I've been at work and her sisters have left me thousands of phone calls on my mobile. Can I see her? Please?"

The receptionist bought Cole's lie and showed him direction to Phoebe's room. He looked at the bandages and felt sudden guilt once more. She looked terrible, weak and in so much pain. He did that to her, it was his fault. He sat beside her and took her hand, "Phoebe, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you this much." He began to get a lump in his throat and a single tear rolled down his cheek, "My demonic side got the better of me and I am so sorry. Please don't die."

He sat there for hours watching her until he fell asleep, he relived that moment in his dream when he had hit Phoebe with the energy ball and woke up in a sudden sweat. He calmed himself down and gently rubbed Phoebe's hand with his thumb. "You're going to be okay." He kept whispering in her ear, "You're going to be okay."

For the first time in hours Cole stopped looking at Phoebe with guilt and looked at the time on his watch. It was 8.30 and he realized the sisters would be here soon. He kissed Phoebe's forehead and shimmered away.

He knew it would be risky but he shimmered into Phoebe's room back at the Manor. He ran his fingers down her dressing table and found a pen and a piece of paper. He sat down the side of Phoebe's bed so nobody could see and started writing to Phoebe. It said…

Dear Phoebe,

This is for if you make it out of hospital ok. I know you're lying in hospital in a coma but I needed to tell you how sorry I am. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. It was a big mistake, and if I could turn the clocks back and start over I would. I didn't want to kill you Phoebe, that wasn't my plan at all. Why would I kill somebody I love so much? You know how much I love you and I am deeply sorry for what is happening to you. But the Doctor said you might make a full recovery so you might be able to read this. I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am and I regret the whole thing.

I love you Phoebe.

Cole x

He folded the paper in half and wrote Phoebe x on the front. He walked over to her dressing table and placed it in the centre. He turned around and accidentally knocked over a photo frame and it made quite a loud noise as it crashed down to the ground. He heard footsteps along the corridor and quickly snatched the letter and hid in Phoebe's wardrobe.

"What the?" Piper said as she bent down with Chris in one arm to pick up the frame. Chris started crying so Piper didn't think about how it fell she just picked it up and walked out trying to calm Chris down. Cole knew why he was crying. Chris knew he was there.

As quietly as he could Cole came out of the wardrobe and decided to place the letter in a not so obvious place. He walked over to the dressing table and hid it in the draw where there was a hairbrush, comb, lip stick and a few more girly accessories. He kissed the letter with his finger tips and closed the draw. He took one last look around and mouthed I'm sorry Phoebe. I'll see you soon, and then shimmered away once again.

"Paige? Leo? Come on already the boys are fussing! Hurry up!" Piper shouted down the stairs as she was getting Chris and Wyatt ready to go to her dads, they were going to see Phoebe and needed a babysitter and Piper thought this was the best opportunity to tell him what had happened.

They eventually arrived at the hospital and found Doctor Mason in Phoebe's room,

"Is everything ok Doctor?" Paige asked.

"Well I have just checked Phoebe's brain reactivity and it isn't very high. It has gone up over the night. It must have been when she heard that young man. He needs to come see her more often."

"What young man?" Paige asked suspiciously

"Oh I think it might have been her fiancé." The Doctor replied. "He was quite a good looking fellow." She added.

"Phoebe isn't engaged." Piper butted in.

"I'll ask the receptionist. She might know." Doctor Mason said.

After a few minutes she came back in, "She said it was a man named Cole Turner? Does he know Phoebe?" She inquired

"Yes, she's his ex-wife and what the hell was he doing here?" Piper said raising her voice.

"Please Mrs. Wyatt don't raise your voice, well he came to see her and it looks like he has helped her. He should visit more often. There was something else I had to inform you on. When Phoebe is strong enough we need to send her in for a brain scan. To see if the coma has left any remaining damage."

"You mean to say she could have brain damage?" Leo asked.

"That might be the case but we won't know until further tests. Wow, when we talk about this man, Cole Turner? Phoebe's brain reacts. He could possibly help her out of this coma. Please get him to visit. If Phoebe's brain reactivity is like this more often, we should see her waking up quicker then we thought." She added.

"So she's going to be ok?" Paige asked.

"Hopefully." Doctor Mason said with a smile.

Hey what do you think of the new chapter? Chapter 7 will be coming very soon and it has a bit of a twist. Something you probably wouldn't guess. Please keep reviewing. Thanks Vicky x
