I'll Trust my Heart to You

By: Piper Chris Melinda Halliwell

Chapter 4: A Test of Love—Intervention

The roses Coop gave her sat in a vase on the coffee table in front of her, with the cherry blossom from her hair in the middle. It seemed like months ago when it was only a few days.

She wondered how her planned to help her move on. Part of her thought she had, but in a way, she didn't feel like she could. If she did, wouldn't that mean she'd have to forget him too? No, she knew it was different.

Phoebe jumped slightly as if startled, but she got up and looked around. Nothing was there. Nothing demonic like was usually true of that reaction. It was like her powers were trying to tell her something. As if her Empathy could sense something. She wanted to write it off, but she couldn't.

She turned around…One hit to the back of the head, and she was out cold on the floor. The demon placed a drop of his blood in each palm and stepped back.

"Now we'll see if the next generation exists at all," he said shimmering out as Phoebe lay motionless.

Phoebe woke up in a dark room, completely unaware of where she was. She felt slightly lightheaded and uneasy as she sat up. She was alone in—what felt like—the Underworld, but she couldn't possibly be there. If she was, why wasn't there a demon staring her in the face?

And what was with all the…bubbles? Bubbles were in front of her. Some held her relationship with Cole and others held the one she hoped to, someday, have with Coop.

Curious as to what they meant, she tried to touch one of her with Cole.

"Ouch," she exclaimed, pulling her hand back. The point where her finger made contact with it was bleeding.

Her attention was drawn from her bleeding finger to one with her and Coop. Shaking Phoebe reached out and touched it. Her entire body seemed to heat up. She, at least, knew her temperature rose a few degrees.

The crystal-clear image was so inviting that she wished she could hold it forever. She was lying in a hospital bed with a small pink bundle in her arms. Coop was to one side of her, her sisters on the other, but when she tried to bring it closer for a better look, the image shattered, almost leaving a hole in her heart.

"No," she cried covering her mouth in case someone was there.

The images of her and Cole just now seemed nonexistent. All that mattered was the next one she could find of her and Coop.

She saw one out of the corner of her eye and touched it. Unlike the last, she noticed, she could actually hear voices.

"I'm sorry Phoebe," he told her, tears streaming down her face. "It's just not going to work."

"B—but why? What did I do? We were so happy, Coop, I—" he silenced her with a kiss.

"No, Phoebe. It's not you," he told her cupping her chin. "I just need time…"

The next question that came from her mouth made both of them (the one in the vision and actual cry) "Is—is there someone else?"

His silence said everything as he walked away. She jerked her hand away, sobbing, as the image shattered.

Something wasn't right. That was why she was having doubts.

"Piper! Paige!" she yelled through sobs. This couldn't be right. It had to be wrong…

"Piper! Paige!" she cried in her sleep.

"Phoebe…Phoebe," Piper said shaking her. She lifted her sister into her arms with Paige's help. Paige heard her call and with how frantic it sounded she brought Piper.

"Phoebe, what's wrong," Paige asked.

"I—Coop s—said it won't work because he loves—" even in her sleep she couldn't finish the sentence, but she didn't need to.

"Coop!" Piper called.

"Yes Piper? What is i—oh my God, Phoebe!" he yelled seeing her distraught appearance. "What's wrong with her"?

"We were about to ask you the same thing," Paige told him. "She said she thinks you love someone else."

"I—I don't know where she would get an idea—hey, is that blood on her palms," he asked. "That wasn't there when I left. She was on the couch when I left this morning, I swear."

"Coop, it's okay. We believe you. You're sure she wasn't on the floor," Piper asked. He nodded.

"I'll be right back," Paige said Orbing out. Piper grabbed Phoebe's wrist and turned her hand over, noticing that the "blood" or whatever it was, was red or at least used to be but had since turned yellow.

"When in doubt consult the Book," Paige said Orbing in, "or at least in these situations anyway."

"Why do I have the feeling that whatever you found out isn't good," Piper asked.

"Because it never is in these situations," Paige said, dropping beside her.

"So?"

"Okay, but first, Coop, did you, sometime in the last few days, promise to help Phoebe overcome her fear of not being able to love anyone again," Paige asked. He nodded, unsure of where this was headed. "According to the Book of Shadows, the demon that attacked Phoebe is similar to Barbas in that he makes people's worst fears come true, but…"

"But what? What's the difference," Piper asked.

"He also makes you see your most desired dreams and then crushes them."

"Which would probably explain why she said that," Coop answered.

"Wait, that's not all. The person who sent it is—"

"Oh wait, let me guess. Ah, let's see…the Source, the Seer…oh wait, never mind. How 'bout Cole," she asked.

"You're grasping at straws! Piper, think!" Paige nearly yelled. "Who's the one person who's always interfered in everything we do? No matter what they're always there…"

"Paige, will you quit with the guessing games already," Piper said, "Her life could be at stake here…"

"If I told you, you'd never believe me. We hated them even more because of what happened to Leo…" That statement made everything click.

"Y—you're right, Paige. I don't believe you, but I think it's more of not wanting to."

"Phoebe was right. That is what 'They' are trying to do. But Piper, why this? I don't understand," Paige said.

"Never mind that now. Personally, I think it's more of a question for these two to ask, not us. How do we wake her up," Piper asked.

"We don't. He does," Paige said pointing to Coop.

"What are you two talking about? Who sent the demon on her," Coop asked, brushing strands of Phoebe's hair out of her face.

"Well, according to our sources, the same people who sent you to her," Paige answered painfully. She couldn't believe 'They' would go this far. After all Phoebe had gone through now she had to go through seeing her dreams and having them shattered?

Coop just sat stunned by her side, "I don't—why would they…"?

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out," Piper said, handing Phoebe to Coop and standing. "Leo!"

Nothing happened. "LEO!" Paige yelled, but still nothing.

"No, I can't go, not now," Coop said as his ring flashed.

Paige took Phoebe from him, "Go. If we need you, we'll call."

"Paige, this isn't a charge…" he said standing. "It's the Elders."

"What?" Piper yelled. "This is insane! Leo, get down here!"

"Piper, I think if he could hear your call he'd be here," Paige realized.

"Yo—you think they're blocking it," she asked, Paige nodded.

"The only reason I can hear you is because I'm here next to you. I can't use my Sensing at all," Paige answered.

"Are 'They' calling you too," she asked, Paige nodded.

"They're calling all of us 'up'. Not just Coop. 'They' did this for a reason, I'm guessing."

"Let's go," Piper said.

"Piper, what are you saying? Do you not remember everything we've gone through—"

"Paige, if 'They' want all of us, it's got to have something to do with what happened. I'll admit, I'm not keen on it, but if Coop really can pull Phoebe from that, I'd bet we have to see them first before they'll let him do anything."

"Still not a good idea, but you're probably right. We need to think of Phoebe first," Paige admitted.

"Can you do this," Piper asked, turning to Coop.

"If you mean help Phoebe, then yes. I'll do whatever I have to." Coop walked over and picked Phoebe up. "I still don't see why this is happening. If I was sent specifically for her, why is this happening"?

"I don't know, but I'll corner each and every one of them till I find out," Piper said determined.

"There's the stubborn streak," Paige said, grinning, as she walked over. "That's Piper, you gotta love her for her determination."

"Yeah, from what I've seen, it runs in the family," Coop said walking over.

"Shall we go," Paige asked holding out her hand.

"You bet!" Piper said grabbing her hand as the four of them left to find answers they wanted.

A/N: What's going on? Why did Phoebe see that; what will happen to her? Is she destined to not have everything she's ever dreamed of?

Please read and review, guys! I really want to know what you think! Plus, I love my reviews (and reviewers)! *Winks*
