Phoebe: How did I get here?

Cole: I brought you here.

Phoebe: This isn't happening. This can't be happening. This goes beyond stalking.

Cole: I'm not stalking you. Paige sent me. I know why you ran, Phoebe.

Phoebe: You don't know anything about me.

Cole: You thought you could escape into this big ocean, that the waves would wash away your pain? But they won't. Not until you admit what drove you here in the first place.

Phoebe: I know what drove me here. You.

Cole: Yeah, but why? And don't say because you're scared of me, because you're not. Come on, you don't want to spend eternity alone just to avoid the truth. If not for me, be honest for your own sake. Don't lose yourself because of me.

Phoebe: What do you want me to say?

Cole: You don't have to say anything. All you have to do to free yourself is admit how you truly feel about me. In your heart.

(They are silent for a moment and Phoebe turns back into a human. He helps her up and takes off his coat.)

Phoebe: How could you be so sure?

(He wraps his coat around her.)

Cole: I had a feeling.

Phoebe: I do love you, and I always will but it doesn't change anything, it doesn't matter. It's over between us.

Cole: Phoebe we need to talk, talk about what happened, how we ended up here.

Phoebe: Cole, I can not do this, please you have hurt me enough (she starts to cry and Cole takes her in his arms). Why, why did you do this to me? Why was I not enough for you? Why did you want power more then me? (She continued to cry and scream this to him as she pounded on his chest).

Stepping back to look at her, his face marked with confusion and disbelief. He did not understand how she could think that he had wanted the Source's power, he only took in the Hollow to save her, so they could be together and now he was losing her because of it and he would not let her believe that he did it voluntarily.

Cole: NO! no, no, no. I did not want power nor did I want to be ruler of the Underworld, all I have wanted since the day I met you was a life with you. How could you think that I would ever hurt you intentionally?

Phoebe: What? How can you stand there and deny what you did, for heaven's sake you were the Source of all evil, my sister's and I had to vanquish you. Do you have any idea how much it hurt to have to vanquish the love of your life?

Cole: I have not the Source; I was POSSESSED by the Source. And I may not know what it is like to vanquish you but I do know the pain of being vanquished by the one person who means everything to you, who holds your very heart and soul in their hands and fails to see that it is not you in control of your body. How could you not have known there was something wrong? I thought you love me and knew me but when I needed you, you weren't there for me.

Cole was now fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall and had moved away from Phoebe and standing with his hands in his pockets looking longingly out at the blue sea. Phoebe stood silently, shell shocked by Cole's outburst, thinking about what he had just said and slowly realized that things may have been different then what she thought but could she trust him to tell her the truth or is this one of his tricks – a story that he concocted while in the Wasteland. She looked at Cole, the man she loved, who she once trusted more then anything and knew that she would never move on unless she listened to him.

Phoebe: Cole, (there was no response) COLE – slowly she walked over to him and reached out to touch him when she was pulled into a premonition. She saw Cole and the Seer in the Underworld

Seer: Don't be afraid. (He spins around. The Seer walks in.)

Cole: Who are you? Where am I?

Seer: Back in your once and future life... Balthazar.

Cole: Belthazor? (The Seer moves closer.) Seer.

Seer: Even now I can see the void where your demon half used to exist. It craves to be complete again.

Cole: How'd you know I was still alive?

Seer: I had a vision. One where you and I do great things together.

Cole: I don't work with evil anymore.

Seer: You might reconsider if you hope to save your precious witch. Only you and I can help to beat the Source.

Cole: I'm listening.

Seer: If you take in the Hollow, you can absorb the Source's power when he attacks. Once powerless, they can vanquish him.

(She picks up the Hollow box.)

Cole: And what happens to me after?

Seer: The witches and I will banish the Hollow back to its crypt. You will return to normal.

Cole: How do I know this isn't one of The Source's tricks? Or one of yours for that matter.

Seer: The Source has been corrupted by the Hollow. And is going to destroy us all. He can not be allowed to continue with this path of madness.

Cole: If I do this, what do you see then?

Seer: A future for both sides.

(He walks across the room.)

Cole: Is this the great thing you saw us doing together?

Seer: Perhaps. However, you won't even know unless the Source is stopped first. It's your only chance to save your love.

The scene ends and Phoebe comes back to find herself wrapped in Cole's arms sitting on the beach. It takes her a few moments to get herself together and process what she just saw while Cole is looking at her helplessly.

Cole: Phoebe, Phoebe please talk to me, say something (the tears that had threatened to fall earlier were now staining his cheeks). Baby please, please, just says something.

Phoebe: Cole, (staring into his face as she relives the promotion, tears start to fill up her eyes) oh Cole,

Cole: is it the baby? Are you all right? (Cole is so consumed with thinking about everything that had just happened that he does not realize that Phoebe had a premonition and thinks that she collapsed because of the pregnancy Phoebe does not understand at first and just stares blankly at him. She is thinking about what see just saw and does not realized at first that he said "baby", then it hits her, he does not know that the Seer stole their baby, no it was not their baby or was it. How can I tell him?

Just as Phoebe was about to tell Cole what had happened, the sound of chimes was heard and Leo is standing there with the sisters who race over to Phoebe with great concern. Cole is still holding Phoebe when Paige pushes him away and starts yelling at him, telling him he is evil and to stay away from Phoebe. Cole is speechless, still in shock about Phoebe's collapse before he can do or say anything Leo orbs away taking Phoebe with them and leaving Cole to glaze at the empty space.

A little cliff hanger, hope you enjoyed the second installment. I will update again this weekend. The next part will start off with the sisters and Leo back at the manor.
