"Phoebe" Cole whispered again still staring at me wide eyed in shock.
The silence was unnerving as everyone stared questioningly at Cole who unfortunately was still standing amiss the wreckage that was once our kitchen.
It was in this moment of silence that two rogue demons shimmered into our pit of destruction-there eyes focused on Cole they threw dazzling balls of energy at him collectively.
They hit there mark one hitting him in the lower abdomen, one in the face sending him flying over the shattered table to smash into the already destroyed potion cabinet and finally falling into a crumpled heap among the many potion ingredients scattered across the floor. A bloody mass unmoving.
Screams tore through the air killing whatever silence there was left, and it was as if time had restarted.
Piper threw up her hands and the kitchen rocked sending everybody to there knees our hands over our petty heads as shards of glass rained down on our unsuspecting skulls.
I heard one of the demons curse as I lay on the still trembling floor and I looked up to find the culprit but as fast as they had come they had fled. Cowards I thought glaring at the space they had occupied.
The room continued to shake violently as I screamed "Piper what happened?" there was a faint reply of
"I don't know"….
The room stoped trembling and I slowly stood up and looked around-man I don't wanna clean this up I thought but instead said, "where's the party?" um ok I thought what was that about?
As my gaze continued to roam about the room or rather what was left of it I suddenly remembered!
"COLE!" I said urgently… there was no reply.
I rummaged through the assorted junk and found him still lying unmoving. I shook just as violently as the kitchen had a moment before as I slowly knelt down beside him.
He was a mess…
His hair was mattered with shards of glass and sweat and his face, oh god his face. What had they done to him I had never seen a demon do this…
His flesh hung off his face in great agonising chunks showing the white of his skull within, bits of tissue strained to hold the remaining flesh together some even snapping oozing blood as they broke unable to cope with the pressure giving him a disoriented look. This stomach wound wasn't much better except it gave off a fishy odour. The worst thing was that the wounds seemed to be spreading like a disease, consuming his whole body as if sucking it dry.
There was a moan from behind me as one of the strangers got up and staggered over to me, glanced at what was left of Cole and quiet prominently gagged. I looked up into Giles eyes and found sorrow and doubt, I couldn't handle that.
"LEO!" I cried.
There was a display of white and blue light and I glanced up from watching the disease roll over Cole and saw that same doubt when I demanded, "heal him!"
"Phoebe"… Leo began
"I don't care!" I resorted cutting him off, I knew what he was going to say and I didn't want to here it.
"But you know im not aloud to Phoebe. Its against the rules." Leo tried again.
"Screw the rules!" I shouted then sighed running my hands that were drenched in Coles blood through my hair "please Leo" I wined
"I can only half heal him," Leo said giving into my pleases "you know that, only his human half" he finished.
"Um" I small voice said, "I can help?"
I looked around for the speaker and my eyes came to rest on a red head. I stared at her.
Flash back-Sunnydale, the Bronze"You wanna hear my motto?" I asked the small shy girl why nodded vigorously.
"Yea" she managed to pipe out.
"Life's short!" I said "you never know what's going to happen I mean tomorrow you could be dead" I finished as I thought yea I could be dead tomorrow if I have to be the slayer in this town!
"I like that" she said breaking my thoughts as she contemplated what id said.
"You should seize the moment ya know?" I replied. She looked up and gave me a smile.
End flashbackI opened my eyes, the room was spinning and I couldn't stop it. After a while I realised I was on the floor beside Cole and I was drenched. I gazed down and realised sadly that it wasn't water I was drenched in, it was blood… Coles blood. I started to panic and a voice broke through to me, I looked up into the cool calm eyes of Leo and found that he was crouched before me.
"Phoebe?" Leo asked. His hand was reached out as if to touch me.
I didn't reply I merely looked around for the girl, Willow…that was her name Willow.
My voice came out as a whisper as I asked "Willow?" she looked at me in shock but nodded tears coming to her eyes. Her hair was red now and up in a ponytail the one I favoured, she wore a pink sweater and snug jeans, trainers completed the outfit.
I glanced back at Leo and asked "can Willow help you?" I glanced at Cole again. He was getting worse the disease had now consumed his entire face and his stomach he was unrecognisable if you hadn't seen him before it happened you wouldn't know who it was. He was decomposing from the outside in. Leo saw my worried look and got to work.
"Willow come here please." He asked gently "concentrate your power so that it flows through me to Cole" he said once she was kneeling down beside him.
I watched them work "nothings happening" I said after a while "why is nothing happen…" I stoped talking, something was happening.
The tissue in Coles face was knitting itself together and the blood surrounding him was slowly shrinking. He opened his eyes moaning as he did so and stared at us crowded around him. "What happened?" he asked trying to get up at the same time. I helped him up as I replied,
"Two demons attacked you"
He pause staring at us all and demanded, "Did they hurt anyone?"
"No" I assured him "something happened when Piper tried to freeze them" I explained.
"So that' explains what the bleedin' hell happened!" a blond guy burst out.
I glared up at him and he said, "loves got guts!"
"It doesn't explain what happens," I said through clenched teeth.
"Bloody hell I was being sarcastic lo've" he stated "even the git' know's that!" he finished. He had an English accent the old kind.
I stared at him his blond hair was cropped short and was gelled back-a lot. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt, black jeans and what looked like black army boots. A long leather jacket toped it off, surprisingly it was black.
"What a're you looking at?" he asked
"SPIKE SHUT UP!" I yelled surprising everybody including myself. "Cole" I said turning to him. I was starting to freak myself out. "Can you confirm something?" I asked urgently.
Cole stared at me questioningly for a moment then said "yea"
I sighed and asked, "Is there such thing as a slayer?"
He was quiet for a moment then replied "yes"………..
My ears were ringing, I was feeling faint. My vision blurring I stood up and stumbled over the chaos and out the kitchen door and headed toward the front door. There was pressure on my arm and I was turning-facing someone. I stared into his eyes and felt tears coming fast and I couldn't stop them.
I turned away tugging my arm as I went, the person hung on I lunged out and my fist connected. The person grunted but hung on. My confusion turned to anger and I faced him and began to scream.
