�This has been my week of hell,� Prue said but no one was home.
She tossed and turned for the last hour trying to take a nap before her sisters got home. I have to find away to let Phoebe Know I forgive her but what. Not really knowing what to do Prue decided to go for a walk. She got up, changed in to a Knee length black shirt, that dark blue short sleeve blouse with black pumps, her was pulled back in a French bun. She didn�t know where she would go but she needed to take some time and think and walking sometimes helped her.
Prue had just started walking and saw a boy holding his sister hand helping her on the bench, she wished she brought her camera. She didn�t really know where she was going, but found her self in front of Bucklands. She opened the doors and went into the main part of the buildings.
�I�m sorry Jack Sheridan is busy, no Prue Halliwell is not here either, I know, Yes sir,� the woman said.
�Cindy, Let me,� Prue said.
�Hell-O this is Prue Halliwell�yes I can�no about $1045.00�Yes�No�I understand�no�yes, Thanks,� Prue said.
�So,� Cindy said.
�He will be dropping off a 4 painting that come to the estimate cost of $1000.00,� Prue said.
�Miss Halliwell that no very much,� Cindy said.
�Each�each painting cost around 1000.00,� Prue Said.
�Oh, are you here to see Mr. Sheridan, Cindy said as she wrote a few things down.
�Yes, and it important,� Prue said.
�Miss Halliwell I�m sorry but why are you here now, you�ve own half the building for almost a year,� Cindy said.
�I sign the paper with reading them, I found out I own this building a week ago,� Prue said interrupting her and then Cindy pointed to the door.
�Unless we hear from Ms. Halliwell, we can not sign this paper�I�m sorry,� a man said.
�Well than I�m glad, I came in back from my vacation early,� Prue said walking to the men.
He looked her up and down and smiled. Prue looked around the room she picked up the papers reading them over a few times and Prue couldn�t help but notice Jack�s smile.
�Prue this Ben Saunders, Mr. Saunders this is Prue Halliwell,� Jack said as they shook hands.
�Well Mr. Saunders, I believe we have a deal�you have as many auctions here as you want, but Bucklands get 40% of the profit,� Prue said.
�Mr. Sheridan said 20,� Ben said.
�Well I say 40, you still get 60 and that is over half. If you need to thank about it, but most will say you get 40,� Prue said.
�Well, Ms. Halliwell you drive a hard bargain, but you got a deal,� Ben said signing the papers after Prue did and then left.
�Prue you are a life savor. What are you doing here,� Jack asked.
�What besides keeping a client and getting around 4000.00 in art goods,� Prue said and Jack looked a little confused.
�4000 dollars where and when,� Jack said.
�Jack why don�t we have lunch and I�ll explain why this is the first time I came here,� Prue said and he agreed.
�So you just now found out that you co-own Bucklands, Jack said.
�Yes, so is there room in the building for me,� Prue said.
�I thought you wanted to be photographer,� Jack said.
�I do, I can�but I want to open up my own Photography business, but I need to get a good job, I�ll make more working here than I do at the magazine,� Prue said.
�Ok we have a meeting on Wednesday, and an auction on Friday, I need you to look at these items and tell me what you think,� Jack said.
�Ok but I�ll need Saturday off,� Prue said.
�You know it wont take you long before you can open it up, hey maybe you can call it Bucklands Photography,� Jack said.
�You know Jack I missed you,� Prue said with a small smile.
�I�ve missed you too,� Jack said.
They ate and talked for a while, she�d forgotten what it was like to be with a guy she really liked. He said he�d take her back to her house and she agreed if they could walk. They did, this time unlike any other they just talked to each other finding out what the other�s life was like.
�Here we are The Halliwell Manor,� Jack said as started to leave when she grabbed his arm.
�Jack are seeing anyone,� Prue asked and he smiled,
�No, I�ve had a few off and off again relationships but nothing serious, you,� Jack asked.
�No, that why I asked you,� Prue said he lead in and gave her a kiss, it was not long, but held meaning.
�I�ll see you tomorrow at work,� Jack said then left.
She walked into to see Piper running around the house and getting ready for something.
�Hi,� Prue said to Piper.
�Where have you been, I've tried to contact you for the last hour,� Piper said.
�I was in an important meeting,� Prue said.
�A meeting, with who?� Piper asked.
�Um�Jack,� Prue answered.
�I thought he was of no importance to you,� Piper joked.
�I went for a walk and ended up at Bucklands, I help him with a client and to get a few painting and now I work there again�and we kissed,� Prue said.
�Prue here's the thing, you like him, he still likes you, so ask him out,� piper said.
�Piper, why were you trying to get a hold of me,� Prue asked.
�I'm meeting Leo and Phoebe for dinner, you want to come,� piper asked.
�No thanks hun, I've spent the last 2 hours eating dinner with Jack,� Prue said.
�Prue you had dinner at 4:30,� Piper said giving her a look.
Piper gathered her stuff and went to meet Leo and Phoebe at the diner. Prue went up stairs to her room, if I want to find someone who can shimmer anywhere what would I do. Then it came to her she would make a spell that was the answer she was looking for. She started her way up to the attic and wondered what she would do. She knew she had to find Cole, that the choice she made and she flipped a few more pages. She than flipped another page and saw a spell and she looked at it for a few moments.
�To transport yourself to a person�well he's not an innocent but hey sometimes you have to break the rules,� Prue said to herself.
She said the word and suddenly she saw a light come around her. I hope I don�t get killed for this, were her last thoughts as she left the attic. Then she could only imagine the thoughts the elders were thinking right now and Phoebe what would she do to her.
She found herself in a dark place. Where she saw demons and warlocks alike. There were no humans she noted and thought she might be in a demon hang out realm. There were fights by demons seeing who were more powerful, smell of dry blood and rotten food came threw the air and a few conversations about killing the charmed ones. Actually she heard a lot of demons talk about how they planned on taking on the charmed ones, she noted to her self to be more careful when meeting people.
�Hey sweetie� a southern voice said and she turn to look at man who seemed to be in his 30�s, with bright red hair and hazel eyes.
�Yes,� Prue said.
�I haven�t seen you before are you a new warlock, or have I just been blind,� he said.
�Not now,� Prue said even warlocks have lame pick up lines she thought, and began walking off,
�Get back here,� he ordered and she turned around and remembered a spell that got rid of warlocks.
�Warlock be gone by this witches demand,� Prue whispered and began her search for Cole.
The spell didn�t vanquish him, but put him far away from her. She wondered where he was she hoped some witch didn�t die because she did that. Then again she was here for a non-personal gain this was to help Phoebe. Well it wasn�t that selfish she really did want phoebe to be happy.
�Get away from me,� Cole said to the demon before him.
Prue saw Cole with the demon and noticed how upset he looked and started to walk towards him this was no his friend she knew that. And there was no way was she going to let some demon scum kill him after she had went against everything she believed in to find him. She rushed up to him making sure no one saw her do so, but still making sure she ran fast.
�I don�t think so Beltazore,� he said.
�I think you heard him,� Prue said putting up her hand and sending him flying to the other side, and Cole look at her in surprise while move a few steps back.
�Thanks�what do you want,� Cole asked a little scared and making sure no other demons or warlocks were after him.
�I want to talk to you, if I can,� Prue said still keeping her distance.
�By talking you don't mean a spell that will vanquish me do you,� Cole said.
�No�look Phoebe doesn�t even know I'm here.� Prue said and Cole nodded still keeping his distance.
�Really,� Cole said.
�Cole she so depressed, I had to do something and finding you was they only thing I could think of,� Prue explained.
�Die, witch,� the demon said getting up and holding up his hand.
�Excuse me we�re talking here,� Prue said in a sarcastic tone, and she sent him fling again.
�Lets get out of here,� Prue said.
Cole knew she wouldn't try to kill him because she would of tried it before now. He looked at her for a few more moments and noticed the demon was starting to wake up again. He took her hand and shimmered out there, they were back in the living room of the manor. Prue noted that simmering was a lot alike how she transported herself to the realm she was in.
�Thanks,� Cole said letting go of her hand,
�I wasn't happy with her lying to me, but I can see how much you love her, or you would of killed us by now, Prue said.
He looked straight at her and noticed she was telling the truth, by know after how many people he's encountered he can tell if a mortal is lying. He was at a loss was she apologies for something she didn�t do or was she up to something he had no idea of.
�I should go,� Cole said turning to leave.
�NO,� Prue Yelled and he look at her once again.
�Look I love Phoebe with all my heart and soul but staying with her will only get her hurt,� Cole said, thinking of what could happen to her.
�Your leaving will only hurt her, she loves you more than anything, believe me Phoebe doesn't let people in her heart easy, ask cupid he'll tell you. So if you truly love her more than anything in this world, be at P3 at Seven on Friday,� Prue said.
Cole noticed how she was making sure he understood every word, but could he risk everything for her would their love be strong enough to last. After a few second past he shimmered out of there not knowing what he would do. Only that he had a lot to think about. After Cole left, Prue had to write down what happen so she could never tell herself it didn�t happen.
Dear Diary,
I can't believe I just helped out a demon, and can you believe it was Beltazore. But I know that Phoebe will be truly happy with it. If you would have told me I would help a demon, I would of said you were crazy, but I kind of even trust him, but that just between me and you. I know now that he truly loves her and if this doesn�t show I forgave her, I don�t know what will.
I know Phoebe loves me, and I love her more than anything or person I�ve ever loved before. I also know that if I go back to her more demons will come after her and I will be the reason for her getting hurt. Cole kept fighting with himself, like this over and over. Shimmer after shimmer he only thought of her and what Prue had said. Then he thought of everything they�d been through. He thought of there first kiss how he never wanted to break it, or there first date, when he confessed his love for, or when she betrayed her sisters for him. Then Prue came to his mind, she�d went against everything to bring him back, and he had to see what the fates had plan for his life now.
�Hey Phoebe,� Prue said walking hand-in-hand with Jack.
�Hey I'm going to have to go, I have a big exam tomorrow, and I want to study,� Phoebe said getting ready to leave.
�No it only 7:05, you should stay for at least 10 more minuets, besides your class don�t start until 10:00 am,� Prue said.
�OK, Only for 10 minutes, though,� Phoebe said seeing how much Prue wanted her to stay.
Jack had seen how since 7:00 she had been watching the door and he wondered if she had an old boyfriend coming. Then she saw what she wanted to see. Prue look at the doorway and smiled since Cole walked in the doorway and he smiled at her.
�Maybe longer� Prue said.
�What, I told you Prue I have a big test a I need to go, in now what's 8 minuets, not you or any cool band is going to keep me here,� Phoebe said trying to also convince herself while Cole heard the whole thing smiled.
�What about me,� Cole said moving closer to her.
�Prue, I'll be right back,� Jack said leaving the group and Prue smiled gave him a quick kiss.
Phoebe couldn't believe her eyes, and was totally speechless. She just stood there looking at him and he looked at her giving her his sweet smile he had so many times. She in return gave him her winner smile, but was afraid to move closer to him.
�Cole�how�why,� Phoebe said.
�Prue found me and told me that I should come and see you,� Cole said moving a little closer.
�Yea, after I saved his butt from a demon,� Prue added.
�I Love you,� Cole said giving her a kiss.
�Thanks Prue,� Phoebe said not letting go of Cole.
�Well as I see it you and Cole aren't any different from Leo and Piper, so I made a choice, one I'd never thought I'd ever have make but did,� Prue said smiling.
�Thank you�I owe you one,� Cole said.
�If you'll excuse me I have a date,� Prue said with a grin.
Phoebe never let go of Cole that night and she knew that some how they would make their love work. It was take a lot of work, but for Cole she would do it and so would he. Now that both Prue and Piper accepted him, it wouldn�t be that hard. She knew that each day would bring a new demon, but nothing could take her love away. If Prue could accept him then anyone could.
