Chapter 13

Piper was sitting by Cole's body when Grams and two Whitelighters orbed in. They rolled out a long white sheet and placed Cole's body on it.

"What are you doing? Where are you taking him?" Piper asked.

"They're taking the body away." Penny said.

"But I wanted to give Cole a funeral."

Penny sighed as she hugged her granddaughter close. "I know, but the Elders are afraid magic will be exposed. It's better this way."

"You mean easier, don't you?" Piper asked. Then she ran up to her room.

"leave her alone Prue, she needs time alone." Penny said when Prue started towards the stairs.

"It's so unfair. Not only does she lose Cole, but now she can't even give her a proper funeral." Phoebe said.

Piper couldn't believe they took Cole away. She picked up a picture of Cole and herself and ran her finger around the frame.

"I'm sorry I couldn't give you a proper funeral. I'll never forget you. I love you."
