Coles On going Pain

[*Sammi!*]

Cole grabbed her hand, and shimmered her to the Manor.
Cole was getting tired with this.
“Whoa!” Phoebe said as she tried to get her bearings back.
“Phoebe…” Cole started. He looked at the woman he loved.
He loved her so desperately, so much! He just wanted her to understand that he was feeling neglected with this whole thing with Coop!
Phoebe stared back at him, her big brown eyes still a little blood shot from crying.
“Hey Phoebs!” Piper said as she walked into the sunroom. “Cole” she continued.
“How can I help?” She asked. Piper looked from her sister to Cole and back again.
“What am I interrupting again?” She asked.
“Nothing” Cole snapped.
“Jeez! I cant go anywhere in my own house without interrupting something” Piper moaned.
“Piper, do you have that potion?” Phoebe asked her sister.
Piper looked at her, and nodded.
“Yep” She replied.
“Can you go fetch it for me?” Phoebe asked again.
Cole was confused.
“What potion?” Cole asked. He thought back to when he had seen Piper concocting a potion, though she had explained it to be a potion for Coop.
“Oh, just a little… simple… truth potion…” Phoebe explained.
Cole was again, confused.
“Don’t you normally cast a spell for that?” He asked.
Cole remembered the truth spell well. Phoebe had used it on him once before for fun. Had completely ruined the surprise he had installed for her.
Cole shook his head.
“Why are you giving a truth potion to me anyways?” He asked.
Phoebe looked at Cole.
“Are you kidding me?” Phoebe mocked.
“After all the lies that you have told Cole, its no wonder we’re using a potion instead of a spell” Piper interrupted as she walked into the room.
Phoebe walked over to her sister and looked at Cole.
“We need to do this for you” She said.
Cole looked at her, and saw that she looked very sympathising. It gave him some kind of comfort, though he didn’t understand why they were doing it when he had just told them the truth.
“How will you know if it works?” Piper said to Phoebe.
“He just told me what he claims to be the truth, I assume he will say the same when this works.”
“It doesn’t always work…” Piper said as Phoebe threw the potion at her fiancé.
“Ouch!” Cole exclaimed. “Why throw it at me?” He campaigned.
He looked down and saw the potion burn through his jacket and shirt and seep through his chest.
“And now Im going to need a new jacket…” He rubbed it as much he could to get the burn stain away before Phoebe shot a question at him.
“Who are you?” She asked from the other side of the room.
“Cole Benjamin Turner” He replied straight away. That was an easy one he thought. Come on Phoebs, I know what you have.
“Who am I?” Piper asked.
“A pain in the-” He started, and then saw the look on her face.
“Piper” He finished.
“Where is Coop?” Phoebe asked.
“I think the witch killed him, not quite sure on that one yet though.” Cole answered. He sat down on the sofa, hoping that Phoebe would stop soon.
“The witch, is she the Seer” Phoebe asked again.
Piper looked at her “What?!” She exclaimed.
“Later” Phoebe snapped.
“Yes she is, and Ramone is the new Source” Cole replied.
“WHAT??!!” Piper screamed.
Phoebe threw another potion at Cole, which didn’t burn his jacket this time.
“Coop is dead?” Phoebe asked him again.
“I don’t know! I think so” Cole answered as truthfully as he could.
He watched as Phoebe broke down into tears and Piper paced around the room ranting to herself about the Source.
He stood up and walked towards Phoebe. He placed his arm around her but she shrugged it off.
“Phoebe!” He cried as she ran off out the front door.
“Leave her” Piper said as he was about to run after her.
“Theres a new Source?” Piper asked him.
“Yeah, but he doesn’t have all his powers yet” Cole replied.
Piper took a deep breath.
“Wow” She said.
“Why is Phoebe still wanting to make Coop happy?” Cole asked Piper, hoping she would shed some light on the issue.
“Cole, she still loves him.” Piper replied.
Cole turned round and looked at Piper. His heart dropped like a stone into water.
“She says that she wants to marry me!” Cole said. He sat down and placed his head in his hands.
Piper walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Its not easy for her to just switch her feelings off for him. She does love you, but you have to appreciate that Coop was a part of her life.” Piper reasoned with him.
Cole nodded.
“I know, its just, Im here and she just rejects me!” He felt a tear fall down his face.
“She just discovered that a guy she loved may be dead, and you’re here thinking about yourself!” Piper exclaimed.
She shook her head.
“I have to go and figure out how to stop the Source from being coroneted” Piper said as she walked away.

[*Sammi!*]

Cole shimmered back into the Mausoleum hoping to find Phoebe there again. He discovered that she wasn’t, but decided to stay there for a bit.
He slid down the wall onto the floor.
He closed his eyes and thought about Phoebe. Thought about what the Seer had told him about a new Source. Thought about Coop.
“Coop…” He muttered out loud.
Cole stood up suddenly.
“I need to get Coop back!” He said out loud. Then maybe Phoebe would be able to get over him properly, and we could get back on with our lives! He continued to think.
He shimmered back to the apartment.
He had a quick look around there to see if Phoebe was around. She wasn’t.
His heart ached, but he carried on working anyway.
“Maybe I could strike a deal…” He said as he looked through his case notes.
Cole didn’t know what he was looking for, but he knew that when he found it, it would be obvious.
He shuffled through the papers for a while longer, until he got too frustrated.
“Argh!” He cried. He threw some of the papers across the room.
He stood up, picked up the papers and walked through to his bedroom.
Cole looked at the clock and decided it was time to go to sleep. He needed all his rest for the following day.
He led down on the bed and looked up to the ceiling.
“Cole…”
Cole looked around the room. He was sure someone had just called his name, but he couldn’t be sure. Must have just been the wind, he thought.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
“Cole…”
Cole sat upright. He had definitely heard it that time. He looked around the room thinking that Phoebe was here somewhere.
He climbed out of bed, and looked around the apartment. There was no one there.
“Hello?” He called out. He could almost laugh at himself for being so suspicious.
“Im armed!” He called out. So help me, Ill set Belthazar loose! He thought to himself.
After a couple minutes of no noise, Cole put it down to an overactive imagination and climbed back into bed.
“Its Coop…” The voice said again.
“Coop?” Cole called out loud.
“Help me!” The voice came again.
“Where are you?” Cole asked. He desperately strained his eyes trying to see where he could be hiding.
He listened carefully for the next half an hour, but no more information was being whispered to him, so he led back down and tried to get some sleep.

When Cole woke he was greeted by the sound of rain pouring on the windows.
“Oh what a lovely day!” He said out loud sarcastically. He tutted as he thought about what he had to do.
As he got dressed he thought about what he had heard the night before and wondered how Coop had the power to project himself, or rather, his voice to send a message.
Cole had only just had enough power himself to do that when he was in the Wasteland, and now Coop was doing it too.
“Coop cant be there though…” He muttered to himself. He wasn’t a demon after all. Cole reasoned logically.
He picked up his briefcase and shimmered into his office.
“Oh man!” He exclaimed as he saw a head of blonde hair in his chair.
“Give me a break!” Cole cried.
“I’ve come to collect my reward!” Lyndsey told him as she stood up and walked to him.
“Seer, why don’t you just leave me alone?” Cole asked. It was obviously a rather stupid thing to ask as it was obviously not going to happen, but he thought if he asked nicely, she just may do.
He put his papers down on the desk and sat down.
“Whats the reward?” Cole asked as he sighed. He may as well entertain her, as she had gone to the trouble of coming in early to see him.
“You have to let Ramone go Belthazar” Cole rolled his eyes.
“Not this again” He said. “Do you really think Im going to sacrifice my career for this? That I would risk the Source rising to power and then killing my fiancée? Risk my fiancée’s sisters finding out and then have them kill me?!” He rambled to the Seer.
“We had a deal Belthazar” The Seer cooed to him as she walked up to him and looked him directly in his eyes.
“No, I do believe we didn’t!” Cole exclaimed as he walked away from her.
“You took it upon yourself to kill my fiancée’s ex husband, and now you’re expecting me to unleash the Source!” He laughed. It was incredulous!
“Why don’t you bust him out? It would be simpler for me, and then you would have it your own way” Cole told her.
“Because, this Source needs to be able to walk around the mortal world, and with this identity. We need him without conviction, and we need him to be free” The Seer informed him.
“Oh” Cole replied. He did a double take. “Why would the Source need to be able to walk around on ground?” He asked her. He never had done much before, and when he did, he had assumed the identity of other people. Or rather, he possessed other people.
“Because we have a plan” The Seer told him mysteriously.
Cole stared at her. He couldn’t believe that she was leaving vital details out.
“At least come down and see Ramone. You will get to see how powerful he will become, how much you would love him being your leader!” The Seer informed Cole.
“He will not be my leader, as I will not be using my powers for evil ever again.” Cole told her in a matter of fact way.
Lyndsey laughed evilly.
“What?” Cole asked her.
“I think its funny that you’re still do delusional!” She mocked him.
“Right, Iv had enough of this. Out!” He demanded.
“As you wish, though Belthazar?”
“What?” Cole snapped as he turned to look at her.
“I do think you should go and talk to him.” She said as she disappeared.
Cole rolled his head backwards and sighed again.
“What am I going to do?” He asked himself.
He sat down at his desk and stared at a picture of himself and Phoebe.
“Help me Phoebe!” He cried at the photo.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Wow! A truth potion. That was smart to get the truth out of Cole. & I do understand COMPLETELY about loving a man you wanna get married to, but still have feelings for your Ex. I've actually been through it. So I can relate a lot with Phoebe. That is really sweet of Cole to wanna bring Coop back, even though he was jealous in a way.

So, Cole wants to make a deal. With whom I wonder. Hmmmm!

Anyway, excellent story so far Sammi. I'm enjoying this as much as the first story. I can't wait to read more.

[*Sammi!*]

Thanks Melissa! I appreciate it!

Cole looked around in desperation.
He knew that shouting at a picture wouldn’t get him anything besides strange looks from his Personal Assistant, so he left the office and headed for the cells.
He didn’t know what he was going for, or what he was going to do, but he needed to get Coop back so that Phoebe would continue her grieving process.
“So you’re here” Ramone greeted him. Cole grunted.
“Let me in!” Cole demanded from the guard, and shifted his hand to influence the guards decision.
“How can I help?” Ramone asked as Cole entered and sat down on the seat.
He looked around the cell. It was cold, and bare, with just a bed, seat, toilet and basin. Cole shuddered.
“What can I do to help Coop?” He asked. As he heard the words leave his mouth, he knew that something bad would happen, as he had practically given himself away.
Ramone laughed evilly.
“You’ve finally cracked?” He asked Cole. Cole gave him all the evil looks he could muster.
“No, Im doing it for Phoebe!” Cole snapped at him. He watched as Ramone stood up and paced around the cell.
“Ah, the little witch…” He started.
“Just tell me” Cole snarled. He wanted to get this over and done with so that he could plan where to go from here.
“You have two choices Belthazar. You can either assume my identity as this criminal for me, and I take your place and be the Source, or you let me possess you, and then when Im out of here, Ill leave you alone.” Ramone explained.
Cole looked at him confused.
“That’s it? You will bring Coop back?” It seemed too easy. He felt uneasy.
“Yes. Simple. You will have done everything that the Seer and I originally wanted you to do.” Ramone answered.
“Why couldn’t you have asked someone else?” Cole asked.
“Because you were the lawyer on my case, so it seemed simpler. Besides, how many other demons are there acting as Lawyers?”
He had a point, Cole thought. It was Cole’s turn to stand and pace.
“Bring Coop back first, so I know that you are for real” Cole demanded.
“As you wish. He shall be returned immediately.” Ramone informed him.
“Im going to go and check it out, to make sure you’re not lying.” Cole informed him.
“Ok, hurry back. I have an Underworld to organise. Sounds like stressful work!” Ramone called after him.
Cole swore at him as he left the cell and walked out of the prison.
He couldn’t believe what he was risking to get Coop back for Phoebe.
He shimmered into the Manor.
“Phoebe?” He called.
“Yeah!” Came the reply. Immediately Cole felt relieved that she was here, and she sounded fairly happy.
Cole was almost knocked off his feet as Phoebe came bounding at him.
“I love you!” She whispered into his ear as she hugged him.
Cole smiled.
“What this in aid of?” He asked, surprised by her reaction. Only a couple hours ago, she had been furious at him.
“Coop is back!” Phoebe told him gleefully as she led Cole into the kitchen where the whole family was stood. Cole felt left out again.
“Good to hear it!” He said.
“He told me that you saved him! Thank you so much!” Phoebe told him as she leant up to kiss him again.
“Its… ok…” Cole replied as he looked around the room.
Everyone looked happy, except Paige who was analysing Cole again.
He looked at her as she looked back. She could tell that something was up.
Im sure she can read my thoughts, Cole thought. He shuddered at the thought.
“Phoebe, I have to go out” Cole told his fiancée.
It was like she hadn’t heard him, as she was prancing around the kitchen, obviously deliriously happy that her ex husband was back on the scene, and not dead, as previously thought.
“See you then” He muttered as everyone ignored him.
He sighed and walked up to the attic.
As Cole looked around, he found a pen and some paper.

“Dear Phoebe,
I am sorry about everything that has happened in the past couple of days. The truth is, I don’t know what came over me when the Seer came into my life again.

In order to get Coop back for you, I had to make a deal with the new Source.
If I don’t return, you will understand that I did this for you, so that you would be eternally happy, if not with me, with someone else.

I love you Phoebe. Always have, always will, and I hope that you understand that this is why Im doing what Im doing.

Cole”

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Oh wow. I know tell this is hurting him so much. He is doing this all out of his love for Phoebe. Sad, but very very sweet at the same time. I'm happy to see Coop is back. Now, I'm curious to know how Cole is gonna get out of the situation he is in, & if Phoebe is going to help.
Oh Sammi, excellent update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A++++++++++++++++++++++

[~.:Alysha:.~]

Sorry I havnt been reviewing much lately, been busy!! But I loved your updates! Oh and poor Cole! I'm glad he left her a letter! I was thinking why doesn't he tell her, it would be easier..but a letter is good, i like letters! He is hurting soo much, it must be sooo tough to have his loved one still in love with her Ex What's going to happen I wonder?? Will Pheebs get the letter in time and be able to help Cole?? Dm Dum Dum Da!! Can't wait for some more Sammi!

[*Sammi!*]

Hey Lysh! Dont worry! A late review is better than no review! Thanks both for your comments!

Cole wiped a tear away, folded the letter up and placed it on top of the Book of Shadows.
He knew that Phoebe would come up to the attic when she realised that Cole was missing to see if she could find a spell to get him back.
He smiled slightly, took one last look around and shimmered back to the prison.
He walked into Ramones cell and took a deep breath.
“Id rather you possess me. I don’t want to spend the next twenty years to life in this place” Cole told the future Source. His voice was monotonous. Just a continuous drone, as he dreaded what was about to come next.
Ramone cackled, sending a chill up Cole’s spine.
“You’re doing the right thing Belthazar!” Ramone praised him.
Cole sighed. He didn’t like being praised for something that could potentially ruin his life again.
“With you, we could rule the Under World brilliantly!” Ramone said.
Cole took a step back.
“Im not ruling the Under World!” He cried.
“You have no choice!” Ramone informed Cole. With that Ramone launched forwards quickly and jumped inside Cole.
Cole fell onto the floor, and felt like he was about to gag.
His head was pounding.
His eyes were blurry.
His stomach was heavy, like he was about to throw up.
“Get up!” Ramone cried from inside of him. Cole felt himself being lifted up. He tried moving his arms and legs himself, but couldn’t. Ramone was controlling him.
“Let me move by myself!” Cole shouted. He was infuriated at being used.
“Im not having you causing any funny business. Call the Seer for me” Ramone demanded.
“Seer!” Cole called, in hope that she didn’t come. He needed to fool Ramone into contacting Phoebe so she could help.
“Lets go.” Ramone said as he directed Cole around.
It felt strange for Cole. Like he was a stranger in his own body. Not being able to control anything.
“Which one is your car? And call the Seer again!” Ramone again demanded.
“No!” Cole refused, and immediately regretted it, as his entire body felt like it had just erupted in flames.
“Don’t deny me Belthazar!”
“Im not doing this!” Cole cried as he collapsed again. He couldn’t deal with this. It was only supposed to be a transformation possession, and now he was being controlled.
Ramone had tricked him, and he had fallen for it hook, line and sinker! He could almost kick himself for being so stupid.
I did it for Phoebe, he thought to himself.
Oh yeah, because Phoebe would be so proud of you know! He thought sarcastically.
Cole felt his body fire up again.
“Get up!” Ramone cried.
“Why cant you make me do that?” Cole asked. He was aware that he was being stared at by people around him, so he swiftly stood up and walked over to his car.
“I don’t know” Ramone answered. “But don’t get up to any funny business.”
“You cant demand that! Its my body!” Cole laughed at him.
“I can demand what I want. Call the Seer!” Ramone shouted inside Cole’s head.
“No” Cole answered defiantly.
He immediately regretted the decision to deny him as he felt a hot searing sensation through his body.
“Seer!” He called, having felt Ramone’s wrath.
The Seer materialised before them.
“Finally!” Cole groaned. “Can you leave me now?” Cole asked Ramone.
Ramone laughed again.
“Don’t be absurd. We have you now Belthazar! We need you coroneted, but we need something to impress the Under World…” Ramone was saying.
Cole felt strange. It was weird having someone talking inside his head, besides his own thoughts ofcourse.
“Seer!” Ramone shouted. Cole winced, and the Seer looked at him.
Ramone can still talk as though he was outside? Cole thought. He groaned. This was going to be his worst nightmare yet!
“Yes my Lord?” Lyndsey turned around to face Cole.
“Get Belthazar well equipped. We’re going to kill the Charmed Ones.”
Cole felt fear strike through his heart.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

That darn Ramone/Source. He tricked Cole. We should of figured he would. WOW WOW WOW! He did this all because he loves Phoebe. He brought back Coop, but now it seems he is gonna lose the one people he loves most. His love Phoebe. You got me on pins & needles Sammi. I love this update. Excellent!!!!!!

Can't wait to read more & see what happens.

[~.:Alysha:.~]

Cole was tricked! Well they are demons of course there would be a catch!! How is he going to get of this one and will Phoebe be able to help him in time?? Will The Charmed Ones realise he is possessed by Ramone? And Ramone telling him they were going to kill The Charmed Ones..his precious Phoebe..he would of felt a knife go through his heart! A blunt knife at that! The things this poor guy goes through for the Love of his dearest Phoebe! She better realise all this and end things with Coop officially, so she can truly be with Cole in her heart and head! I wonder what's going to happen next??

[*Sammi!*]

Thanks guys!

"No!” Cole cried. “NO!” He then shouted.
He couldn’t deal with this. He wasn’t about to kill his fiancée.
“Don’t fight me! There is nothing you can do” Ramone taunted him.
Cole roared.
“Ill tell the sisters” Cole threatened.
Ramone laughed.
“Ill get you to kill them before you have the time”
Cole felt like he was about to break down.
He couldn’t kill the sisters. He definitely couldn’t kill Phoebe!
Cole looked around as he was being transported somewhere.
He landed on the floor with a hard bump.
When his eyes adjusted, he looked up.
Ramone had left his body. Cole tried to move, but he seemed restrained somehow. He struggled as much as he could but nothing seemed to work.
“Don’t try and move Belthazar, it wont work” Ramone told him.
Cole couldn’t do anything but watch as Ramone and the Seer planned how they would make him kill the sisters.
All sorts of thoughts were going through his mind while he tried desperately to think how he was going to save Phoebe this time.

Minutes turned into hours as Cole sat there. He had tried so desperately to escape that he had worn himself out, and got caught many times, and had energy balls thrown at him.
Officially warn out Cole still continued to watch what was happening.
He heard a voice calling him from somewhere. He sat up and looked around, being careful not to arose any suspicion.
“Cole…”
He heard it again, just like he had when Coop had tried to contact him.
That’s odd, he thought. How were they reaching him?
“Writher my love, wherever you be, through time and space, take my heart near to thee." He heard someone chanting.
Phoebe appeared infront of him.
Cole shook his head at her as she started to talk.
She looked around and then looked at Cole and signalled at him as if to ask what was going on.
Cole was thankful that the Seer and Ramone were so engrossed into what they were planning that they didn’t notice Phoebe in the room.
Phoebe bent down to grab his hand.
Cole tried to signal desperately to Phoebe, but it was too late. In slow motion Phoebe’s phone fell out of her top pocket and hit the floor, and had the same effect of the sound of fireworks on a silent night.
The future Source and the Seer jumped round, in time to watch Phoebe grab Cole and disappear.
Ramone roared and flew forwards to where Cole had just been sitting.
“Don’t worry my Lord, we will get him back” The Seer reassured him.

Cole and Phoebe arrived back at the Manor.
“Cole, what happened?!” Phoebe gasped at him as she took the time to stare at her fiancé.
Cole let out a little breath mixed with a sarcastic laugh.
“Where do you want me to start?” He asked her.
“Start at the beginning” Phoebe said as she sat down next to him.
“Yeah Cole! Start at the bit where you had Coop killed, and then set the future Source free to kill us!” Paige said as she walked into the room.
“Paige! Leave him be!” Phoebe said as Paige stood infront of them, with her arms crossed and tapping her foot.
Cole took a deep breath.
“I don’t know what happened. Lyndsey is the Seer, and she killed Coop – off NO instruction from myself!” He reiterated as Paige started to interrupt.
“And then they decided to bribe me. When I went to get Coop back for you, they said that I had to either take Ramone’s place – the new Source” he explained seeing the looks on their faces.
“In prison, or I could let him possess me to get himself out of prison. That seemed like the easier option, as I didn’t want to stay in prison, and I thought he would leave me alone after Id done that for him” Cole kicked himself again.
I still cant believe I fell for it!
“Only, he completely tricked me, and continued to possess me…” Cole left the conversation there as he saw Phoebe trying to digest everything that he just told her.
Phoebe stood up and walked around the attic.
“Ok, so its nothing too bad” She started.
“Nothing too bad?!” Paige screeched “He’s let the Source loose!” She continued to screech.
“Paige calm down!” Phoebe demanded.
“Calm down? How do you expect me to do that?” Paige asked again.
Cole stood up, but Paige pushed back down again.
“You great big FOOL!!” Paige cried at him. “Oh my God Piper is going to freak out!”
Cole stood back up once again, moving swiftly away from Paige so she couldn’t do anything else to him.
“We can just vanquish the Source! It shouldn’t be too bad, I mean, he hasn’t been coroneted yet… Has he?” Phoebe asked Cole, looking him right in the eyes.
“No, not yet, but Phoebe theres something you should-”
“Good, right ok, so what powers does he have?” Phoebe asked him. She was rambling to quickly try and get it dealt with.
“I don’t know, he can possess, but I don’t know if he has any others yet” Cole informed her.
“Right, well its simple then!” Phoebe said. Cole could tell she was avoiding what was really bothering her.
“Phoebe?” He asked.
“Yes Cole?” She replied, not meeting his eyes.
“Phoebe we need to talk about the Source, he-” Cole didn’t have chance to finish, as he found himself being summoned somewhere, and he didn’t like where he would end up.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Wow Sammi. Good update. I liked Phoebe using a spell to find Cole & she ended up rescuing him. I'm glad she gave him the chance to explain exactly what is going on. & Paige is the way she normally is. She doesn't trust Cole. I love you keep the characters personalities the same. Oh no, Cole got summoned somewhere right when they were gonna get a plan set. Who summoned him? The source, the Seer.
I'll have to wait to find out, but like I've said a million times already Sammi. Excellent story so far. I love it!!!!!!

[*Sammi!*]

Cole appeared back into the Source’s layer.
He groaned as he again found that he couldn’t move.
“Well, good to see you again Belthazar. Did you honestly think you would get away with it?!” Ramone taunted him again.
“Tut tut, you’re losing your touch Mr Demon!”
Cole sighed as if to try and fool the Source into thinking that he was troubled, though he knew that Phoebe would find a way to help him somehow.
“Oh and for the record, Iv cloaked this place now.” The Seer told him as she walked towards him.
He rolled his eyes at her, and she smiled evilly.
Cole didn’t like that look.
“Don’t smile at me” He spat at her.
“Ever the happy one Belthazar?” The Source said as he also walked across the room.
“Now, we’re just about ready for you.”
“No! Im not going to kill them!” Cole shouted. He tried to walk away, but forgot that he couldn’t actually move, and therefore fell flat on his face.
The Source picked him up by the scruff of his neck and once again placed him on his feet.
“We can rule the Under World, you and I! You tried before and almost succeeded. You can again with my aid!” Ramone hailed him.
“I am not losing Phoebe!” Cole protested.
“Can I remind you that you don’t really have a choice?” Ramone said.
Cole barely had chance to breathe as Ramone stood forwards and walked into his body again.
“GET OUT OF ME!” He roared at Ramone.
Ramone just laughed easily as he started to control Cole’s movements again.
Cole fought him as much as he could, but it just wasn’t working.
“Which one shall we kill first?” Ramone spoke to Cole inside his head.
“We’re not” Cole still insisted.
He tried with all his might to push Ramone out of his body.
“What are you doing?” The Source asked him. “Stop that” He demanded as he sent fire through Cole’s body again.
Obviously that works! Cole thought. Success! Ill have to try that.
Cole suddenly found himself stood in the attic in the Manor with The Seer closely in tow.
There wasn’t anyone there, but he could feel the dread mounting in his stomach and he did not know what to do.
“Shout someone up” Ramone demanded.
“No” Cole refused. Again he felt a flashing pain and fire throughout his body. He ignored it as he looked around the room looking for something sharp. He wasn’t about to let the Source kill, and he wasn’t going to let Belthazar loose under any circumstance.
He spotted an uneven edge of a mirror that Phoebe had broken a couple months back and put it up here.
“Hello?” Someone called.
Coles stomach dropped. Someone was coming upstairs.
“Don’t come up!” Cole shouted, feeling the wrath of the Source.
“WHY must you insist on doing this?” Ramone asked as he tortured Cole.
“What do you mean don’t come…” It was Paige, who stopped talking once she saw Cole in the room with Lyndsey.
“What are you doing with her again?” Paige asked. She walked up to Cole, looking into his eyes.
“Cole, are you ok?”
“Help me!” He whispered.
“Help you? What?” Paige asked as Cole backed away from her.
“Belthazar, do as you’re told” Lyndsey told him.
“You shush!” Paige told the Seer. “Don’t you think that I don’t know who you are!”
The Seer laughed evilly.
“Do it, or Ill do it myself” The Seer threatened as she moved closer to Paige.
“PAIGE GO!” Cole shouted, as he could feel the Source pressuring him into turning into Belthazar.
Paige looked alarmed.
“Cole whats going on?”
Cole roared and morphed into Belthazar. He felt at ease, but didn’t like what he had to go.
He roared again.
“DO IT BELTHAZAR!!” The Source shouted inside of him. “You know you want to do it!”
“Whats going on up-” Piper started “Oh My God…”
“Oh great, I get two for one” Ramone said, controlling Cole’s speech.
Belthazar let out a cry and summoned a fireball, and launched it at Paige.
He watched as it hit her right in the chest.
Watched as Paige fell to the floor.
Watched as Piper jumped across to her sister.
“Paige! Paige!” Piper shouted. She looked up at Cole. “You son of a b*tch! What have you done?” She cried.
Coles heart was pounding.
“Kill the other” The Source encouraged.
“No!”
“DO IT” The Source demanded again, and then laughed gleefully as he controlled Belthazar’s actions and summoned a fireball for him.
He threw it at Piper and it hit her in her head.
He morphed back into Cole and broke down.
“Why?” He cried at himself.

[~.:Alysha:.~]

I don't get it.. wasn't Paige just there when Cole was telling Phoebe how Ramone possessed him? She could see that Cole was there with Lyndsey so you would think she would put two and two together and figure out the Ramone must be in Cole hence the reason why he was struggling and fighting himself? She should of left when she had the chance then she wouldn't be in this mess lol!! Whats going to happen now?? They cant die Phoebe has to come save the day again! You keep us on the edge of our toes Sammi! I hate those bloody Cliffies haha

[*Sammi!*]

“Call the other one” The Source demanded.
Cole stood up, strong and defiantly.
“No” He said firmly.
The Source exited Cole’s body, and witnessed the scene around him.
Cole felt relieved, like a case of bad heart burn had finally let up.
“Im proud of you Belthazar. Just one more, and we have finally defeated the Charmed Ones”
The Source bent over the sisters and kicked them to see if they were just playing. When he discovered that they didn’t, he laughed evilly.
“Ahhh! I can hear the cheers now!” He gloated.
Cole felt his anger rising, when he finally took the chance to think about what had been done.
“You just made me kill my family” Cole muttered.
“What?” The Seer said as she walked over to him.
“What we did is for the greater good for us all!” The Seer continued.
“The greater good for who? Evil?!” Cole shouted.
“Yes, once we kill the other little witch, we can rule in peace!” The Source said. “Congratulations Belthazar!” He praised.
“No, I am not killing anymore. Besides this!” Cole said.
The Seer tried to disappear as she realised what Cole was about to do, but Cole grabbed her arm to restrain her.
He summoned a fireball and threw it at the Seer. He watched as the she screamed and went in flames.
He laughed and turned to the Source.
“This is what I was talking about Belthazar! You’re evil! We can rule together!”
“Yes, Belthazar!”
Cole spun around and saw the Seer stood there again.
“Did you really think I didn’t know you would try and kill me?” she said to him.
“Still so naive” she tutted as she walked to Ramone’s side.
“Can we do something about Phoebe?” Cole begged. “Im not going to kill her!” He said.
“Belthazar, we cannot let one live, she will reconstitute the Charmed Ones and then come to kill us.” The Seer explained.
“Or, we could have her as our Queen…” The Source said. “I like that idea”
“Phoebe won’t do that. That was a bad time of our life together.” Cole said.
“I also remember that you produced a powerful heir” The Seer said, clicking onto what the Source was thinking.
They jumped round as they heard someone coming up the stairs.
“Hello?”
It was Phoebe. Cole started to panic as he looked around and saw the scene infront of him.
The Source jumped back into Cole and The Seer disappeared.
Phoebe walked into the room and smiled as she saw Cole.
“Whats…” She started as she saw the look on Cole’s face. She then looked around the room and saw her sisters there, dead.
“Cole, what happened?” Phoebe asked him, not believing what was infront of her.
“Cole!” She cried as he didn’t answer. She ran over to her sisters.
“Did you kill them?” She screamed at him. Cole ran across to her ignoring the searing pain running through his body.
“Phoebe! Im possessed!” He told her “Its not too late!” He called out as the Source shimmered them to the layer.

Had a chance to sit down and read from the beginning -- and I've only got one word.... You have done an absolute fantastic job with this sequel thus far -- and needless to say, I'm hooked.

And as much as you don't like doing it, you really do know how to torture your favorite guy, sweetie. Poor Cole just can't win for losing and I totally feel for him in this.

Lyndsey being the Seer and Ramone the Source? Was not expecting that little twist at all. Cole working out a deal (even though he knows full well that deals with demons always end badly) to save Coop, whom he can't stand? Brilliant -- as is the letter that he left Phoebe explaining exactly why he's doing what he's doing.

If that scuzzbucket Ramone trying to possess Cole and make him kill his fiance wasn't bad enough, he gets interrogated by Phoebe and Paige, and now he's summoned off to Lord only knows where.

Although I've got an itching suspicion where he's going (and that it can't be good) I'll patiently await the next update -- which will hopefully be soon...right?

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

WOW WOW WOW SAMMI! Those were 2 excellent updates. I'll start with the first one.


Poor Cole. He didn't help the source get out of prison to kill his family. Especially Phoebe. That is so sad. It's gotta be breaking his heart. This chapter makes you a cry at the end a little bit. I hope Paige & Piper are gonna be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh No! Phoebe has to show up & witness seeing Cole there with her sisters lying on the ground. I can only imagine how she is feeling. I'm glad Cole got the chance to ask for help before the source shimmered them out. What is Phoebe going to do to save her sisters? What is Cole gonna do to get rid of the source & the seer? Excellent updates girl. I LLLOOOOVVVVEEEE this story. You're one of my favorite writers.

I can't wait till your next update.

[*Sammi!*]

Thanks guys! It means alot that youre reviewing it!

“Belthazar, I’m proud of you!” Ramone praised him once they appeared underground again, and he had exited Cole’s body.
He walked round to the Seer, and stood next to her.
“Though we need to teach you not to try and kill Lyndsey, try to be a good little Demon”
Cole rolled his eyes.
“Don’t patronise me” He growled.
Cole couldn’t stop thinking of Phoebe’s face. He collapsed on the floor and put his head in his hands.
He had ruined everything.
I always do this! He thought. Am I not meant to be happy?
He was beginning to think not, and kept thinking about Phoebe and what she would be doing presently.
He had tried his best to tell her that it wouldn’t be too late to heal the sisters, if only she can figure it out.
Cole couldn’t help but feel relieved by something.
He had to admit to himself that hurting the sisters, even though hurting Phoebe, had somehow made him feel free.
Keeping Belthazar under control had becoming increasingly hard for Cole, and he knew it. It scared him that he felt happy about hurting someone.
His half demon side wanted to play, and he wanted to play with it.
Cole looked at Ramone and Lyndsey as they planned to bring the important Demonic leaders to a meeting.
“Which ones are you planning to invite?” Cole asked intrigued in the conversation.
“Tempus, the Grimlocks are as far as we’ve got so far. All the other seem to have been vanquished by the Charmed Ones over the years. The Under World has taken a serious hit!” Ramone sighed as he sat thinking about who else he could alteast try and resurrect.
“Oh yes, and Barbus, ofcourse” Ramone added.
Coles heart plummeted.
“Barbus? Barbus has been put in purgatory right?” Cole asked.
“Well, yes, and I hear you made sure that happened” Ramone looked at Cole and raised his eyebrows “However Barbus is one of our strongest Demon’s. We need him back.”
Cole shook his head.
“No, no I’m not co-operating with him. He screwed me over”
“You don’t have much of a choice. You can either reign the Under World with me, or you can be killed. Simple” Ramone sneered.
Cole decided he would play along and see how far it got him.
“You may want to try the Furies.” He added.
Ramone looked at him suspiciously.
“Yes, we may do. Add them to the list Seer.” The Source demanded.
“Belthazar, if you’re going to be on our side, you need to sort your little witch out. I let you spare her, but she will be trying to bring her sisters back.” Ramone told him.
“My Lord, may I go and see her? I may be able to persuade her that this is a good thing” Cole asked. He obviously knew that he wouldn’t be able to persuade Phoebe into anything knowing that she knew he just killed her sisters, but if he could get some time with her, he could explain, and help her.
“Do you think I was born yesterday Belthazar? You know as well as I do that she will not come to our side.” Ramone sniped at him.
“No, I don’t think you are stupid, however I have convinced Phoebe to join me before, I can do it again, if she truly loves me” Cole lied.
“The love that they shared was once my most power premonition” The Seer informed the Source.
Cole looked around at her. Why was she siding with him? He thought. Unless she has an ulterior motive also.
“Yes, I suppose that’s feasible” Ramone said to him.
“Ok, however, if you’re not back in a couple hours, I will come looking for you Belthazar.”
“That’s more than fair, I appreciate the opportunity.” Cole said as he got ready to shimmer away.
“And Belthazar, no funny business. Ill be watching” Ramone said, his eyes flashing as he did so.
Cole felt invaded as he knew that the Seer would be watching him, which made him feel slightly ill.
He had to think quickly, and he thought he knew how to do it.

[~.:Alysha:.~]

I thought he wasseriously thinking about joining them for a moment, but then he wants to go see if Phoebe can help so he must not want to! I can't believe the Seer agreeg with him?? They must have something up their sleave..and well they will be watching him constantly so thats probably why they let him go! Hmm how is Cole going to get out of this one?? You've put him in a tough situation here, hopefuly you can get him out! Will have to wait and see I guess! As always a fantastically brilliant update! I'm loving every bit of each read!

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

No no no Cole, don't enjoy the fact you hurt someone. That isn't you. Control it, control your evil side. Now, you need to think fast since they are watching you. Excellent update girl. I love it. I wanna know what happens next

[*Sammi!*]

“Phoebe!” He called as soon as he reached the Manor. He had shimmered into the attic, and upon seeing that it was still smashed up he reached the realisation Phoebe was on the war path somewhere.
He also noticed that Piper and Paige had disappeared.
“Thank God!” He muttered as he made his way through the attic and down the stairs.
He looked into Phoebe’s room, and saw that she wasn’t there.
Instead Cole found her in Pipers room packing some of her stuff.
Phoebe stopped when she saw Cole walk in. She looked petrified.
Cole took a deep breath and walked towards her.
She didn’t fight him. She didn’t stop him. She let him embrace her as she cried.
“Well this is something” Cole whispered to her, as she cried on his shoulder.
Phoebe pulled away and looked at him.
“Why would you want to help him Cole?” She asked. Cole groaned.
“Phoebe, I thought you had figured it out, after everything that I told you before” He said to her.
He sat down on the bed and watched as she continued to pack Piper’s stuff up.
“What are you doing?” He asked. “And where are your sisters?” He remembered that he hadn’t seen them in the attic.
“Im packing Piper’s stuff. I did figure out what you said Cole. Its just, whether you are possessed or not, you have the choice to say no!”
“I don’t have the opportunity to say no, he was torturing me!”
He knew it sounded pathetic, but he thought it would have been worth a try.
“Where are your sisters?” He asked again, scared that they were actually dead, even though he hadn’t intended on killing them.
“They’re at dads” Phoebe informed him. “They weren’t dead, thankfully”
“I know, I only hit then with a low voltage energy ball. It was enough to fool the Source though.” Cole told her.
“Yeah, they said that they had figured something was up, so they played dead”
Cole had to hand it to the sisters, they even had him fooled he had seriously hurt them.
Phoebe looked at him.
“Cole, I don’t know what to do.” She told him.
“What do you mean?” He asked her. She wasn’t looking him in the eyes, which wasn’t a good thing when it came to Phoebe.
“Coop…” She started.
“This isn’t the time to be thinking about him” Cole replied shortly, and more viciously than he meant.
“When is a good time Cole?” Phoebe asked him, looking fairly defeated. “Ever?” She asked again.
“The Source thinks Iv come here to get you on the evil side, he thinks I killed your sisters”
“What? Why would he think you were coming to turn me evil?!” Phoebe exclaimed.
“It was the only thing I could think of to say to him so I could escape and come and find you” Cole explained to her.
“Well Piper and Paige are going to lay low, so that he does think they’re dead. We need to think of a plan” Phoebe informed him.
“The only thing I can think of, is you coming to the layer and vanquishing him. He literally doesn’t have any powers besides possession, and that is easy to overcome.”
“No Cole” Phoebe protested. “Im not going down there” She backed away from him.
“Phoebe…” He started, but he knew it was useless.
“Pheobs, it may be the only way” A voice said from behind them.
They turned around and looked. It was Paige.
“What are you doing here?” Phoebe gasped. “The Source can find you here!”
“We’ve battled him before, we can do it again.” Paige gloated.
“We need to hurry up, he’s being coroneted tonight” Cole told them hurriedly.
“Ok, we need a spell, and a potion… Is Piper here too?” Phoebe asked Paige.
Cole smiled. He loved it when the girls took charge and acted to their destiny.
“We’ll be downstairs Cole” Phoebe told him as she walked out of the attic with Paige.
Cole sat down on the bed, and thought for a couple of minutes.
He needed to decide what he was going to do.
He loved Phoebe with all his heart, but he also loved being Belthazar. He loved being able to use his powers openly and not having any consequences.
He didn’t, however, wish to become the Source.
“Belthazar…” He heard another voice, and rolled his eyes as he recognised it to be Lyndsey’s.
“Yes?” He said.
“Iv come to check you’re doing as you said you would” The Seer informed him as she moved closer to him.
“Ofcourse. I have Phoebe fooled” Cole replied to her. “She thinks I have come to help her with the sisters, and that she should admit defeat, and join me” He continued to tell her.
“Good job” She replied to him.
“We don’t have much time and we can coronate you and Ramone as the Source together. You need to get her across with us”
“You need to go” Cole rushed her as he could hear someone coming up the stairs.
The Seer smiled and disappeared, just in time to watch Paige come into the bedroom.
“Cole” She said as she walked in. “Who were you talking to?” She asked.
“Oh, no one, just myself. Silly habit” Cole brushed it off, though he could tell that Paige knew he was lying.
“We need you downstairs” Paige demanded as she continued to look at Cole suspiciously.
“Ok, come on then” Cole said as he followed her out.
He took a deep breath as he needed to keep appearances up, which may prove hard infront of the girls.
