Chapter 2
“What was that?” winced Prue rubbing her neck. “Leo?”
“I’m not sure.” Cole snorted, his contempt growing for the whitelighter.
“Ok, go check then,” Prue alisema impatiently squatting Leo away before throwing Cole a dirty look.
Leo orbed out. “Ok. Piper? I’m going to check the book, to see if we can find a way to reverse all this, any of it,” she paused looking at her sister who nodded silently. Prue paused, and walked up to her to a couple of sekunde later and hugged her.
“It’s gonna be ok, Piper. I promise.”
Cole watched Prue, with hope stirring inside him.
“How can wewe say that?” asked Piper thickly. “How can wewe be so sure?”
“Because we’ve always found a way around it – “
Cole looked away blocking out Prue’s voice, his mind in overdrive. Yes, they’d always found a way but why did he feel in his moyo that this was different? That Leo might have been right? That this was meant to happen? That Pheobe had to pay for the sins of his years work as Belthazor? Cole looked down at his hands involuntary, Lost in a deadlock with himself. A mixture of hatred and fury was swirling inside him, making the air seem zaidi claustrophobic than ever. Cole felt his mind start to shut down as the raging emotions took over, and he passed almost blissfully into a neutral state of oblivion. Something called to him and he was walking away inside his mind.
Belthazor however though, was pretty much active, not caring for Cole’s contempt au of the emotions of his weaker human half. The demon had listened and heard things that the humans could not. His instinct told him that there was something wrong with the order, the air in the Manor. The energy it was changing... Cole’s head snapped up and he turned around just as a time hole appeared just feet away from them. Instinctively, conjuring up a fireball, he was ready to launch it at whatever scum came through. Sadly, a distinct “No!” rang out from both sisters as a young woman was thrown from the hole at their feet.
“OW!” she exclaimed sitting up after ten sekunde of playing dead. “Man, that thing is rough. Definitely a minus three for consumer comfort,” she grimaced at them in the heavy silence.
“Who the bloody hell are you?” exclaimed Piper just as Prue got ready to lift her hand.
“Piper it’s me,” squinted the girl concerned.
Cole looked at the girl closely,
'no... it can’t be... the same brown hair, her eyes...'
“Paige. Your sister.”
“What was that?” winced Prue rubbing her neck. “Leo?”
“I’m not sure.” Cole snorted, his contempt growing for the whitelighter.
