Chapter 3

Phoebe stirred as she felt Cole untangle himself from her arms. She yawned and he turned around, "Morning Phoebs," he whispered. Phoebe just snuggled into him, not really wanting to talk about what had happened earlier in the morning. The conversation she had with Paige kept replaying in her head. Cole smoothed the hair out of her face, and she smiled at him weakly. "Phoebe is something wrong?" "Well of course something is wrong! You body snatching son of a bitch!" Cole shouted in his mind.

"What did I tell you about that temper Belthazar?" The Source asked smugly as he placed an arm around Phoebe, infuriating Cole more. "Cole," she started but stopped. Was her asking what was going on his head so hard to do? "I'm worried about you," The Source put his face in a mask of confusion, but he knew what was going on. She was getting suspicious; he was not acting like Cole enough. "You have been distant lately, and then you thrashing while you are sleeping, but then acting like nothing is happening. Are you ok?" Phoebe asked putting a hand on his cheek.

Cole managed to take over his body for an instant, grabbing Phoebe's hand, "Phoebe," he whimpered, his face contracting in pain.

"Cole, baby what's wrong?" Phoebe almost flinched on how hard he was gripping her hand. "Dammit Belthazar!" The Source screamed, once again taking control of Cole's body. "You're burning up," Phoebe said, as his faced flushed.

"I'm fine," he snapped, pushing Phoebe's hand away. The Source was starting to get pissed off now; the witch knew the signs of being possessed. He needed to get her off his tail, and onto something else.

"Cole, you are not fine, something is wrong," Phoebe said, instantly on her feet. The Source instantly had tried to get away from her. "Cole don't you walk away from me," Phoebe shouted after him, as she followed him out the door. Paige gave them a grumpy look as she poked her head out of her room, but Phoebe ignored it.

"I may not be as strong as I once was yet Belthazar, but I can still summon a demon to get your witch off my back," the Source thundered inside of Cole's mind.

"No, I am not letting this happen," Cole roared back.

"Try and stop it Belthazar.." Suddenly a demon shimmered in. He looked at Phoebe.

"Witch, why did you summon me?" clearly this demon was peeved.

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't summon you!" Phoebe shouted getting in a fighter's pose. "Paige, Piper demon!" Phoebe shouted, and instantly the demon summoned a fireball, and threw it towards Phoebe. She levitated out of the way, but didn't notice Cole behind her, and the fireball grazed his shoulder.

Paige emerged from her room, fully awake and the demon summoned another energy ball. "You are kidding right?" Paige asked groaning. The demon tossed the energy ball in Paige's direction, and Paige called out, "Energy Ball," and orbed it into her hands. Piper finally came out of her own room, and Paige tossed the energy ball back at the demon. He jumped out of the way, and Piper froze him.

"God, does this idiot have a death wish? Can't they wait like a month after the Source is vanquished to start attacking again?" Piper whined. Piper instantly flicked her hands blowing the frozen demon up. Phoebe levitated back down to the ground, and found that Cole had been hit with an energy ball.

"Oh my god Cole," Phoebe said, "Leo heal, you need to heal Cole now!" She was worried.

"I'm fine Phoebe," The Source snapped back.

"Cole, you are not fine. A fireball grazed your shoulder. You are lucky that didn't hit you full on," Phoebe said in a hurt voice. She couldn't believe how flippant Cole was being right now. Cole wished he could reach out and apologize to Phoebe, but the Source wouldn't let him even do that.

"I don't need to be healed, Leo," he snapped, with Cole's agitated voice. "I am going to head out for a walk," he said, more agitation creeping into his voice. He shook off Phoebe's hand, and headed down the stairs.

"Oh no you don't," Phoebe shouted at him, now pissed off. She headed down the stairs, and caught Cole's shoulder. "Now I do not know what is going on in that head of yours Cole, but you need to tell me now. You can't just walk out in broad daylight with a demonic wound," The Source stopped in his tracks knowing she was right, especially since the wound didn't even look remotely human. He needed to find a weakness Cole had about being human, and use that to his advantage before the witch got even more suspicious. He felt himself being turned around by Phoebe a flare of anger still settled in her eyes, mixing in with some confusion. "Cole, do not make me use the truth spell to find out what is wrong," she said, Prue's glare set into her features.

Cole was glad to see that the Source possessing him was giving her a clue that he was not acting the same was already set in place. "Cast the spell Phoebe!" Cole cried out in his mind. The Source instantly shushed him, and decided to play on Cole's fear on not being able to protect Phoebe since he was human.

"Ok," the Source said trying to imitate Cole's calm voice, but it sounded odd to Phoebe. "It is just…" Source said nervously.

"What is it Cole? You know we can't hide anything in this family of mine," Phoebe said calmly, wrapping a hand in one of Cole's. She felt an odd coldness coming off from him, which hasn't happened since she first started dating Cole.

"That demon attack, I couldn't even do anything to help you, and if your sisters weren't here…"

"I would have been able to fight off the demon fine Cole," Phoebe said, mildly offended that Cole implied that she couldn't fight a demon on her own.

"I know you can Phoebe, but you don't know how empty it feels, no powers…and then seeing someone you love fighting demons, and not being able to help…" The Source tried again, but Phoebe could tell he was lying.

"Cole, I thought you got over this already…this is not even something that is bothering you right now. Why are you dodging my question and not even giving me a straight answer?" Phoebe said in a hurt voice.

"It is just…" Source tried once more, feeling his control on Cole loosening.

"Why are you holding something like this from me? I have given you my complete trust, but you aren't going to do the same with me?" Phoebe asked tears brimming on her eyelids. Cole finally broke the Source's control over him for the moment, and accidentally shouted, "I am not letting you hurt her!" Suddenly he felt a pull on his whole body as he felt himself being forcibly being shimmered back down to the Underworld.

"Phoebe!" he shouted as he was swept away by the evil magic inside of him.
