"Phoebe..." Jason whispered, placing his hands on her shoulders. She shivered, not believing how much this was affecting her. She felt his hands turn her around, and she kept her eyes glued down to the floor. As she tried to remember her premonition, she felt Jason's hand touch her cheek. He brought her gaze up to his. "Hey," he whispered, embracing her against his harder body.

"I'm ok," she whispered, trying to calm herself down.

"Phoebe...it will be ok..." he murmured, "You know that you can talk to me right?"

"I know...I'm just not feeling well," she wanted to talk to him. She leaned closer into him, and he rubbed her back with his hands. Jason didn't say anything, he just held her. He sensed that she was just needing comfort, and he was more than willing to give it to her.

"So...I was thinking...maybe you should just crash here tonight...I can make us some food...and you can relax..." he said, kissing her forehead. "Maybe watch a movie..."

"That sounds so great," she whispered. "Can we drop by my house really quick though?" he nodded his head, and nuzzled her neck.

"Yeah...but I think we can hold off on that for a bit," Phoebe smiled, "How about you try and get some of your advice column? I am going to go to the office, and grab some more things. Do you need anything from work?" he asked, heading towards his pile of clothes.

She went up to him, and then placed her lips on top of his, "Just come back soon," she whispered.

"Don't you worry," he mumbled against her lips, "it will be like I didn't even leave," he promised. He put on his clothes, and walked out of the door. Phoebe looked towards the luxurious looking shower, and frowned. Maybe she should call her sisters, and explain what she saw in her premonition; as choppy as it was. She walked over to her cell phone, and picked it up. As started to stand, she suddenly felt a presence of evil coming near. She shivered, and adjusted her bathrobe, to cover more skin. Why don't I have an active power yet, she groused silently. She turned around just as Cole shimmered into the room.

He put his hands up in surrender, "Phoebe...I just want to talk..." he said calmly.

"Save it Cole," Phoebe growled, "I thought I was clear when you murdered that innocent," she said, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Phoebe...you never let me explain," a wounded look was plastered onto his face, "my Dads-," he started, trying to explain what had happened years ago.

"I don't want to hear your explanation Cole," she whispered, "I just want you to leave," she said, folding her arms across her chest.

"Phoebe, just hear me out," he pleaded.

"Cole...I said no!" she shouted throwing a hand in his direction. A small jolt of lightening exploded from her palm and hit him full on the chest. He groaned as he slammed into the wall. Her eyes widened; she had premonitions and she could levitate. Since when could she throw lightening? She looked at her smoking hand, and frowned deeply. The only time she had seen her power act like that was when she was transported to the future. He coughed several times, and patted out his chest which was currently on fire.

"Are you going to let me talk now?" he wheezed, managing to get up to a standing position.

"Why should I listen to anything you have to say?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at her demon ex. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't vanquish your sorry ass right now?"

"Because what you envisioned in the future...when you and your sisters almost used personal gain for the first time....it may happen again. We need to band together to stop whatever force-," he stopped mid-sentence and suddenly roared, "I was supposed to have more time to convince her!" Phoebe rose her eyes in confusion, who the hell was he yelling at?

He summoned an energy ball, and she ducked as it soared right where her upright body would have been. A yell was let out as a leather-clad demon was vanquished.

"Leave her alone!" Jason shouted from nowhere, tackling Cole to the ground. "Phoebe get out-," Cole easily threw the mortal man off of him. Phoebe felt an unyielding rage hit her mind as she saw Cole growl at her boyfriend. She threw her hand out, letting out a deadly bolt.

Cole jumped out of the way, and she ran over to her boyfriend. "Jason, you need to get out of here-," Cole grabbed an athame out of his trench coat. Did he assume that Jason was a demon or something? Phoebe helped Jason up, and before she could push him out of the room, he ran towards Cole. Cole wrung the knife out of his hands, and Cole let out a hard right hook across the mortal's jaw. "Cole stop!" she yelled at him.

"Phoebe, get out of here, call 911," Jason growled at her. He couldn't stand it if he lost Phoebe; he didn't have anyone else. His family was gone, and Phoebe was the only one he ever let in this close. She sprinted towards Cole, and let herself fly into the air. She let out a vicious roundhouse to Cole's head.

"He isn't a demon unlike you," she growled.

"Phoebe...you need to understand..." Cole tried to reach out for her, but her current boyfriend had managed to get up, and grasped a chair. He hit Cole with the chair, and it broke in his hands. She let out bolt of lightening and hit Cole once again.

"Leave," Phoebe commanded, "now," Cole shimmered out of the room. Jason wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, tightly embracing her. She sagged into his body, and sighed into him.

"Are you doing alright?" he asked, kissing the top of her head.

"Jason.." she looked at his face and saw his lip and cheek were cut, "You're hurt," she whispered, attempting to pull away. He shook his head, refusing to let her go just yet.

"Just...just let me hold you for while...please?" he whispered. She nodded her head, and felt them slump to the floor against the wall. "I was so afraid that..." he couldn't say it. She let him hold her, and she was glad for the comfort. Any other mortal would freak out, and he was just worried about her.

She gently pulled out of his embrace, and went to her purse. Ever since Leo had left, they had to take control of the healing. She pulled out some gauze, and grabbed a herbs crushed herb paste that sped up healing. "Phoebe...I'm ok," he said, trying to push her away. She shook her head, and got out a q-tip as well from the purse. She lightly dipped the tip into the paste, and brushed it on his swollen lip. He winced, but didn't say anything. Just like the healing light of the Whitelighter's touch, it healed it completely. She then put some on the gauze, and put it on his cheek. "Phoebe...what is going on?" he asked, "why was he attacking you?"

"Because..he was a..a...demon," she whispered.

"Phoebe...why was he after you?" he asked.

"I don't know," she answered honestly. "The last time I saw him I should have vanquished is sorr-," Phoebe stopped. There was no way of backing out now.

Meanwhile Piper was just picking Mel up from her elementary school. "Mommy, what are we doing?" Mel asked, as Piper helped her daughter buckle up.

"Well I think we are going to go home," she said.

"Can we go get food?" Mel asked, playing with the folds on her dress.

"No sweetie," Piper sighed, still very angry at the beings that visited her today. "Mommy is going to be making some dinner for us, and your aunties tonight," that made Mel smile. Good, Piper thought, her daughter was in a mood to eat her mom's cooking.

"Ok Mommy," she said, digging in her backpack. The blond little girl grabbed onto her mom's purse and stiffened.

"Mel...what's wrong?" she asked.

"Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Jason...got hurt," she whispered. Piper dug into her purse for her cellphone, and immediately called Phoebe.

"You've reached Phoebe Halliwell-," Piper slammed her phone shut, and got to her driver's seat. She started up the car, and gave her phone to Mel.

"Call Auntie Prue, and tell her what happened," Piper hated that she had to teach her daughter to call one of her aunt's if there was a demon emergency and they were driving. The Middle Halliwell groaned as she hit another red light. What is the deal with today?

"Aunt Prue won't answer her phone," Mel said with a pout.

"Try calling Aunt Phoebe again," Piper said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Aunt Phoebe!" Mel cried in success.

"Melly what's wrong?" Phoebe asked, a little warily.

"I saw you getting attacked," she murmured, "Mommy Auntie Phoebe won't-,"

"Mel...put your Mommy on the phone," Phoebe whispered, and Mel telekinetically lifted the phone to her mother.

"Phoebs, what's going on?" Piper asked.

"Jason...and I got attacked by Cole," Phoebe murmured, "I don't know what he wanted..but Jason now knows our secret," Phoebe said to her sister. "He has been nothing but supportive," she said to her.

"Ok...I think you guys are going to be ok...but maybe you should bring him to the manor," Piper advised. "We can always freeze Cole, and get more of his demon sushi off of him,"

"Yeah...we'll be home soon," Phoebe said to her older sister, hanging up the phone. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders, and she leaned into him "We need to get back to the manor Jason... I have no idea what Cole is planning..."

"Whatever he is planning, it won't work," he assured her, "I won't let him," Phoebe smiled lightly, but shook her head.

"Any chance I get, I am making sure you are far away from those demons," she said to him.

"No..." he said to her.

"Jason, you can't defend yourself against a demon...especially one like Cole," she said to him, "He may seem to 'love' me still, but he is a cold-blooded killer," he just shook his head, but didn't say anything more. "No...you need to understand, he is very jealous...and since he has been down in the Underworld..."

"Phoebe...its going to be ok," he assured her, "you got nothing to worry about,"

"Ha," Phoebe chuckled darkly, "you clearly don't know my family and their problems," she said rolling her eyes. "I'm going to go get dressed...and I suggest you do the same,"

Halliwell Manor

Piper walked into the manor, and yanked out her cell phone one more time. "Darryl, god damn it," she growled. "Fine...if Uncle Darryl won't answer his phone, maybe Aunt Sheila will.." she tossed her hair over her shoulders, and she dialed Sheila. The doorbell rang, and she groaned, hanging up the phone. Dan Gordon on the other side. "Hey Dan..." Piper said, slinging her sleeping daughter on her other shoulder.

"Piper...is this a bad time?" he asked, eying her daughter.

"Dan...I really hate to ask this..." Piper whispered, cringing internally, "but could you watch Mel for me?"

"Piper, what's wrong?" he asked, immediately noticing the fear playing out on her face. He offered his arms up to take Melinda in his arms. She transferred the sleeping girl into his arms, and she unconsciously wrapped her arms tighter around Dan's neck.

"Please Dan," she pleaded, "I'll explain everything later, but please take her for a bit," she whispered.

"Alright I'll watch her," Dan said, touching Piper's shoulder. He pulls out his wallet, and pulled out a card with his cell phone number on it. "Just give me a call when you are ready to come pick her up,"

"Dan...thank you so much...I'll try not to take too long, and I promise I will talk to you later," she said to him. Melinda sighed and woke up, and looked towards her Mommy. "Melinda...you be a good girl for Dan ok?" She nodded her head, and she rubbed her head into Dan's shoulder; like she had always wanted to do with her Daddy. He looked down in surprise to the girl, but hugged her closely.

"Alright I'll talk to you later about this ok?" he asked, walking back towards his car. She sighed; now it was time to make sure her sisters got home so they could vanquish Cole's sorry ass. She tossed her hair over her shoulders. She stomped up the stairs, and headed towards the attic. Piper opened up the Book of Shadows, and started to turn to the page for Belthazor.

"Piper!" Prue shouted, opening the front door. She tramped up the stairs, and the raven-haired beauty looked towards the book. "We got to do as much we can without Phoebe,"

"I agree...do you think we should just summon Cole while I got Melinda away from him. She doesn't need to see that demon being vanquished," Piper agreed.

"You know you guys," Phoebe said, and both of her sisters cringed hearing her voice, "I really don't appreciate what you two are planning. You can't vanquish him without me,"

Sorry it is open-ended, but I really wanted to post a chapter :D Anyways, thanks for the wonderful reviews and hope you enjoyed
