She keeps tossing and turning in the bed, Cole may not care about her but he let her have the bedroom and she sleeps on the couch. She sits up as her heart slams against her chest, she pushes her hair back and tries calming down. She looks up when she feels him enter the bedroom, "what's up" she asks. "You're screaming is keeping me up" he says, "sorry it's just a nightmare" she says. "What is it about" he asks walking in the bedroom sitting at the edge of the bed, he has bad hair and is only in a tank top and black pajama bottoms. His blue eyes half close as he is still asleep, "my death it's like I can feel myself die over and over" she says. "You know that's not possible right" he says, "I know Cole but I can't help the feeling that something is going on" she says pulling her knees up to her chest looking out the window as a rain storm makes the branches of the trees hit the balcony door. "Are you scared of storms" he asks, "no..I am just scared of the lightning. I know it's a silly fear but hey it's mine" she says shrugging. Cole crawls up on the bed beside her climbing under the sheets, "what are you doing" she asks holding the sheet closer to her body.
"Don't flatter yourself..you're scared of lightning I'm just here to keep you calm. Because I can't sleep with you screaming so either sleep and shut it or I will put tape on your mouth" he says putting his arms under his head.
"So romantic" she says sarcastically before lying down on her side as his eyes close. She makes sure to have her fingers resting on his bicep with is firm with muscle but this is just for her to feel safe.
Cole wakes up the next morning feeling warmth on his stomach and see Sky has managed to wrap her arm around his stomach, he just looks at her for a while. He takes in her caramel complexion and the shape of her eyes with her little pouty mouth, he glistens out from under neath her so he is standing by the bedroom door. He walks out closing the doors behind him going into the kitchen to make them breakfast.
Sky wakes up seeing she is standing in the alley way where she was killed, she turns around feeling power rise at her finger tips when a fire ball comes crashing at her chest sending her flying back into the brick wall behind her. Her breathing stops and her fingers lie motionless on the ground, Sky looks up seeing she is now in the kitchen with Cole. "Hey can you hand me a spoon" Cole asks her, "here" Sky says picking up a spoon holding it out to him. Cole looks at her shocked as he grabs the spoon out of midair, "how did you get your powers back" he asks. "I don't know I was just inside my body at my death and I felt power at my finger tips" Sky admits looking at her hand, "see can you touch the wall" Cole says. She walks over to the wall focusing, her hand comes up and it's glistening as she places her hand on the concrete wall. "I can feel it" she says smiling proudly, "so if you can get your powers back I should be able to also" Cole says.
"But you um have been vanquished a lot of times" she says.
"I go back to my last vanquish...when I started over time when I was Balthazar" he says looking at her.
"Fine but I'm going with you" she says.
"No" he says not wanting her to see what he did but then again why should he care.
"Yes as I know what to do" she says firmly leaving no room to argue before she walks over holding his arm.
"What do I do" Cole asks?
"Think about that time from the back of your mind and feel yourself appear in that body" she says.
Cole closes his eyes letting out a deep breath before thinking about the Manor, he feels the room spinning and when he opens his eyes he sees he is inside the manor dining room. "Here I am" he says throwing an energy ball at Piper, Leo and Paige throwing them back against the bar. Piper and Leo fall on the floor unconscious as the potion rolls out of Paige's hand and he flies it into his, "what did you do to them" Phoebe asks running over to them. "The same thing they were going to do to me" Cole says, Paige checks Piper's pulse. "She's still breathing grab her hand" Paige says, "what" Phoebe asks. "I don't know how you got here Paige but if it's any consolation I know exactly where I'm going to bury you. Right next to herself" he says, Paige glares at him as she holds Piper's hand. "Grab her hand" Paige says firmly again to Phoebe, the middle sister grabs Piper's hand a blue light wraps around them like a shield. Cole throws an energy ball at them but it bounces off of it and comes back right at him, Cole dunks as power fills through him. It's like he is witnessing his death over again and he can't stop it, the light stops and Phoebe and Paige stands up.
"The power of three" Phoebe whispers.
"That's us! Potion" Paige says holding out her hand and the vanquishing potion orbs into her hand. "Well I do hate long goodbyes" she says about to throw the potion.
"No" Phoebe says grabbing the potion out of Paige's hand.
"Phoebe what are you doing throw the potion" Paige says.
"She's not going to throw it. Not after everything we been through, our love is so strong nothing can destroy it. Not even this" Cole says with a gentle voice full of love.
"Yeah I don't think so" Phoebe says and throws the potion, Cole feels his skin burning as his skeleton flashes before his body explodes shattering the windows.
Cole appears back in the cosmic void and Sky let's go of his arm stepping back. Cole looks at her before forming an energy ball, he closes it and looks at her.
"You love her" Sky says.
"No I did love her but the last eight years spent here...I see that our love was never meant to be either was our child. We were doomed from the start but we didn't want to believe it" Cole says sadly.
"Love makes you do crazy things" she says before handing him the spoon, "let's finish cooking. I'm starving" she says.
They share a brief smile and continue their breakfast. Cole is thankful she didn't say anything about what she saw.
"Thank you...for not judging me" he says.
"No problem it's not my job to judge you" she says.
"Maybe you're not so annoying" he says gently nudging her, she laughs along with him.
"And maybe you're not a jerk, dumb ass, and asshole either" she says.
