Two days later.

Prue sat on the sofa in the sitting room, both her sisters wrapped up in huge blanket that their grandmother had knitted those years ago. Prue looked into the flames of the fire, her body was healed, but her mind was in turmoil. She hadn't really got over the shock of what had happened to her.

She glanced down at her sleeping sisters; they hadn't left her side since she had come hame. For that Prue was grateful. She turned her head towards the sound of feet walking on the floor. Cole walked softly in from the kitchen, he sat on the chair and offered Prue a smile. She smiled back half heartedly.

'How you doing'? Cole whispered as not to wake the other two sleeping in their sisters arms.

'Yeah I'm ok, thanks'. Prue said softy.

'Prue, you can talk to me. Anytime you need to, I'm here for you, all of you'. Cole said.

Prue looked at him and saw concern in his eyes. He got off the chair and walked over to Prue and placed a hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes and sighed. She felt him run his hand down her face and lift her chin so she was looking at him.

'I don't want anything to happen to you Prue. I wish you didn't hate me'.

'I don't hate you'.

'Really'?

'Well hate is a strong word'.

Cole smiled at her attempt of humour. She is so brave. He thought. As he looked into her eyes, and beautiful. Cole began to walk away and felt her grip his arm.

'Thank you...for saving my life'. Prue whispered looking into his eyes.

'You're most welcome Prue Halliwell'. Cole said with a warm smile.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Cole thought as he walked away.

Prue watched Cole leave the room. She sighed, kissed both her sisters in turn on the head, lay her head back on the sofa and closed her eyes. Kit jumped onto the table and gave a soft meow and Prue drifted off to sleep.

THE END! XXX
