Phoebe

Halliwell manor

Kitchen

One week had passed since Piper's trip to the future and she was concentrated in vanquishing all the demons she could. Her behavior was worrying her sisters. She was acting the same way she did when Prue died.

"I'm worried about Piper," Paige remarked, as she put a cup of coffee. "She's back to her old days as demon hunter."

"Yeah," Phoebe said. "I don't know what to do to help her. She's acting weird and..." she sighed in frustration. "What happened to us? Things are so..."

"Different?" Paige asked frowning. "Yes, they are. And what about you?"

"What about me?" her sister asked, looking at her coffee.

"I mean, what about you and Jason? Are you okay?" Paige asked, drinking her coffee.

Phoebe shook her head. "I don't know... I didn't tell him the truth, you know... that I am a witch and..."

"You should tell him the truth, unless..." Paige sighed.

"Unless?" Phoebe frowned.

"Unless you're not in love with him," Paige said. "It's wrong to build a relationship with lies, Phoebe. And you know that, you lived this situation before."

"I don't know what are you talking about," Phoebe said, rubbing the back of her back.

"Yes, you do... I wasn't here at the time, but I do know how you and Cole started your..."

"Whoa, don't bring Cole to this conversation!" Phoebe said, waving her hands.

"Why not? His name is forbidden in this house?" Paige asked.

Phoebe swallowed hard. "He's in the past, he's dead. I don't wanna talk about him anymore."

"I see," Paige said, looking at the table. "Fine... But... you should tell the truth to Jason."

Phoebe nodded. "I'll tell him tonight, after he comes back from his business dinner. He wants me to move to Hong Kong with him, but I can't, I just can't leave you and Piper here, I..."

"You can't or you don't want to?" Paige raised an eyebrow.

"Paige!" Phoebe shoot a glance at her.

"Fine, fine..." Paige shook her head. "I'm worried about you, that's all. I think you're not only lying to Jason, I think you're lying to yourself."

"You should worry about Piper. She's the only one acting like a crazy woman," Phoebe said, trying to change the subject.

"And she refuses to tell us what she saw in the future," Paige remarked.

"I had an idea," Phoebe said, with a twinkle in her eyes. "Let's go to Piper's room... Maybe I can get a premonition," she suggested.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Paige frowned. "We shouldn't invade her privacy like that," she pondered.

Phoebe rolled her eyes. "It's for a good cause. She's acting weird, we need to help her."

Paige sighed. "Fine... But I warn you she won't like it!"

"She doesn't need to know," Phoebe said with a grin.

The two Halliwell sisters walked to Piper's room and opened the door.

"Phoebe, it's not a good idea. We shouldn't spy on our sister," Paige said, embracing herself. The whole situation made her feel uncomfortable.

"Don't be silly! It's for her own good," Phoebe assured her. She walked around the room, touching some objects, trying to get a premonition. But she suddenly stopped, when she looked at the nightstand beside the bed.

"Phoebe, don't!" Paige said nervously, as her sister opened a drawer.

"Paige, please, calm down," Phoebe said impatiently. "I'm only trying to..." she suddenly stopped, as she saw something.

A photo.

"Phoebe..." Paige looked at her in concern.

"What the hell?" Phoebe winced, as she took the photo in her hands.

Paige frowned, as her sister's face turned pale. Then she moved her eyes to the photo at her hands and moaned. "What is that?"

"Cole..." Phoebe muttered under her breath. "It's Cole, it's him! But how?"

"A wedding..." Paige muttered in confusion.

Phoebe started to breath hard and fast. Then she felt the familiar sensation of being pulled into a premonition.

Piper and Cole were before each other. She was wearing a beautiful wedding dress and he was wearing a black suit. Grams was in front of them and smiled.

They looked at each other and kissed. Cole had his arms around Piper and her sister visible enjoyed it, keeping her mouth on his.

"Phoebe, are you okay?" Paige asked, gently resting her hand on her sister's arm.

"No..." Phoebe said, her hands shaking, her stomach turning with nausea. She never felt so disgusted before. "I'm not!"

"You got a premonition, didn't you?" Paige asked, still in shock.

Phoebe swallowed hard, trying to calm her pounding heart. "I'll kill Cole... and Piper! I'll kill them!"


The Underworld

Piper and Chris were at a cave. Piper just vanquished two demons, blowing them up.

"We don't need to worry about them anymore," she said, walking ahead.

"Wait a minute," Chris said softly.

Piper turned her back to face him. "What's the problem?"

"We should go back to the maor," he told her.

"Go back to the manor?" she frowned.

Chris nodded his head a little. "Yeah, go back to the manor. We need to check the book. I think it's enough for today."

Piper put her hands on her hips. "I don't wanna waste more time. I need to vanquish the demon responsible for..."

"I know," Chris said, raising his hand. "But, as I said, it's enough for today. I'm worried about you."

"Worried about me?! I want to save my son!" Piper shouted.

"I want to save Wyatt too, Piper, you know that," he quietly explained.

She shook her head in frustration. "So what are we supposed to do? Sit and wait for this mysterious demon to destroy my family? If we weren't going after him, he'd be coming after my son!"

"I want to change the dark future too, Piper!" Chris said emotionally. "You have no idea... You spent two hours in my world, but I... I lived everything, I lost everything! Now listen to me! You can't insist on take these suicide missions, you need to stay alive... for Wyatt..."

"And for Cole..." she added, shaking her head.

Chris lowered his head. "I know you're angry... I'm angry too. But you can't lose control now. C'mon, let's go home... We need to be careful. I want to check the book again."

Piper gave him a short nod of understanding. "You're right," she sighed. "I am sorry. I know you're only trying to help."

"Trust me," he gave his hand to her and they orbed out.


Halliwell manor

Living room

Chris and Piper orbed in and found Phoebe and Paige waiting for them in the living room.

"We need to talk," Phoebe said coldly, her eyes full of rage.

Chris cleared his throat. He recognized that look in her aunt's eyes. He saw it numerous times before. It was a look of a woman who was about to losing control.

"Not now," Piper said, ignoring her. " I need to..."

Phoebe grabbed her forcefully by the arm. "We need to talk now!"

"Phoebe, calm down," Paige said.

"Stay out of this," Phoebe said angrily, then turned to Piper. "We need to talk!"

Piper swallowed. She looked at her sister's eyes and knew she wasn't kidding. "What's happening?"

"You tell me," Phoebe said, finally letting go of her arm. She reached for the photo and threw it at Piper. "What the hell is that?"

Piper took the photo in her hands and cleared her throat. It was the photo she brought with her from the future. "Where'd you find it?" she asked, her hands shaking.

"You didn't answer me! What the hell is that?" Phoebe asked angrily.

"Phoebe, I..." Piper muttered.

"I got a premonition about you and Cole..." Phoebe said, clenching her fists. "You were kissing my husband. My own sister kissing my husband! What the hell is that?"

Piper shook her head. "He's not your husband anymore... Phoebe, I don't know what to say... Cole and I... I just... I don't... You need to understand me... This future... I couldn't tell you, I still don't understand..."

Piper's words only served to feed Phoebe's anger. It didn't matter that Cole wasn't her husband anymore. Piper had no right to be with him, to have him in her arms. "Where's he? Where's Cole?" she snapped and shoved Piper against the wall, her hand on her sister's throat.

"Phoebe, please. Stop!" Paige breathed hard and fast.

"I don't know," Piper said, under her breath.

"Phoebe, stop!" Chris warned her. He didn't want to hurt his aunt, but he wouldn't let her hurt Piper.

"I won't let it happen! I kill both of you, do you understand me?" Phoebe shouted angrily, letting go of Piper.

"Phoebe..." Piper coughed, gasping for air. "Listen to me..."

"No, you listen to me. I don't know how Cole escaped from his vanquish in that alternate reality, but I'll kill him this time! And I'll kill you too if you get involved with him," she said, leaving the manor.

"Phoebe..." Piper muttered, falling on her knees.
