An Evil Love Triangle

by Joanna


It was morning at the Halliwells, and Piper was making breakfast for herself and her sisters.

"Prue! Phoebe! Breakfast is ready!" Shouted Piper to her sisters, they were always in a rush, weather it was work, school, or demons for that matter they never seemed to spend a lot of quality time together, time that doesn't involve a vanquishing potion.

"Coming!" they both replied as they came rushing down the stairs.

"Hey Prue, can I borrow your car today?" asked Phoebe between mouthfuls of eggs and French toast.

"Why? Don't you usually walk to school?"

"Yeah, but I was gonna swing by Cole's after."

"Oh, well I need it for an important photo shoot today, sorry sis."

"That's ok, Piper, what about you?"

"What about me?" Asked Piper

"Can I borrow your car today?"

"I guess, but I need it back by five, I have to get down to P3 we've got a new band coming in, ok?"

"Yeah sure, thanks Pipe!"

"Well I better get going, I'm going to be late for school, see you guys later!" said Phoebe as she hurried out the door.

"Bye!" shouted Prue and Piper after her.

"Hey Prue? U never said anything about a photo shoot today, I thought we were going to lunch?" asked Piper.

"We are" replied Prue.

"Then why did you tell Phoebe you had a photo shoot?"

"Well, you know how I feel about Cole, I don't like her seeing him."

"So you lied to Phoebe?" Piper asked a little disappointed with her older sister.

"I wouldn't call it lying, I'd call it protecting the innocent! Anyway, you ruined my plan letting Phoebe borrow your car, so it doesn't matter anyway right?"

"I guess" answered Piper.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a dark alley.

"So, Jalon, you think you can destroy the Charmed Ones do you?"

"I know I can."

"But you know every demon who has tried has failed, what makes you so sure you can defeat them?" asked The Source

"I will get in through the sisters hearts, then literally destroy them."

"The last demon who tried that ended up falling for one of the witches, how do we know that you won't do the same?"

"I'm guessing you're referring to Belthazor? He was half human, unfortunately his human side took over, I'm a full blooded demon, I can handle it"

"Very well, but if you fail, it will cost you your life."

"I will not fail."

"Oh my god, I'm so late, I can't believe that policeman pulled me over for speeding! I was like 5mph over the speed limit!!" Phoebe muttered to herself while on her way to collage.

Finally, she parked the car and ran to her class just in time. After collage let out, Phoebe went to Cole's apartment. There was no answer at the door.

"Cole? Are you in there?"

Still no answer.

"Well I may as well go home." Phoebe thought to herself.

On her way down the stairs, she bumped into a handsome stranger.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry ma'am! Here let me help you with that" referring to the books Phoebe had dropped during the incident.

"Thanks, but I'm fine, really"

"I'm Ja... er Jake, I'm Jake, and you are?"

"My names Phoebe"

"Wow, you're name is as beautiful as your eyes."

"You're pretty forward aren't you?!" replied Phoebe

"Look, can I buy you lunch?"

"But its already 4:45!"

"Ok then, an early dinner?"

Phoebe felt dazzled by the effect of his eyes, they were almost as if they could swallow her whole.

"Sure why not?"

"Great, lets go!"

Back at the manor

"I cant believe Phoebe hasn't bought my car back! Its 5:25, I told her I needed it by five!" said Piper, in a very unfriendly tone.

"Don't worry Piper she'll be here!" said Prue.

Just then Leo orbed in.

"Hi honey, you ok?"

"Hi Leo, and no I'm not ok! Phoebe was supposed to have my car back by now!"

"Oh, I see, well I could orb you to where ever it was that you wanted to go."

"You could, that would be great! P3 is our stop!"

"No problem." replied Leo.

"And Prue? Tell Phoebe I need to have a little talk with her ok?"

"Yeah, sure thing" answered Prue.

At a restaurant near Cole's.

"I'm having I really good time Phoebe!"

"Me too Jake. Wow its really late, I better go"

"Wait! Don't go, why don't you come back to my place?" asked Jake

"Erm, your place?"

"Yeah, I thought we were hitting it off, why end the relationship now?"

Phoebe caught Jake's eye, it was like it took over her completely.

"Ok, lets go back to yours!"

"Great!"

At P3

(Piper on the phone) "Look, I told you 4 cases of vodka, not 14! Where am I going to put it? Now you listen to me buddy, I'm not paying for the extra ten cases, so I suggest you have someone pick them up ok?" and Piper slammed down the phone.

"Everything ok?" asked Leo.

"No, but I can handle it, I'm just a little stressed right now, the bands late, I've got too many cases or liquor, and my heads about to explode!"

"Hey, don't worry," said a comforting Leo, and gently kissed her.

"Oh Leo, you always make everything seem so much better, thank you."

"No problem."

Back at Jake's place

"So, Phoebe, I take it you're not seeing anyone"

Phoebe wanted to say yes, how could she forget Cole?

But all that came out was: "No"

"But your so beautiful, any man would go crazy for you."

"Thank you, that's really sweet."

Jake leaned over and kissed Phoebe, passionately, caressing her neck with his gentle hands. It was Phoebe who broke the kiss.

"Phoebe, that was amazing."

"Yeah, it was." Replied Phoebe

Phoebe pulled him closer, shocked at her own actions, she couldn't resist, she started to unbutton his shirt.

He untied the back of her laced top, and they started to kiss again.

The next morning Phoebe woke up, not remembering where she was at first, then let out a sigh as she saw Jake bring her breakfast in bed.

"Phoebe, last night was, well it was one of the best nights of my life!"

"Really? I feel the same."

Just then, she remembered about the car, she was supposed to bring it back to Piper last night!

"Oh Jake, I have to go! I'm sorry!

"Wait, can I call you?"

"You better!" said Phoebe as she rushed out of the house

Back at the manor

"Piper, did Phoebe come home last night?" asked Prue

"No, I hope she's ok"

"I'm home!" said Phoebe as she ran into the house

"Piper, I'm so, so , so, so, so, sorry! I totally spaced! I know I was supposed to have your car back, but I met this guy, and one thing led to another.."

"You didn't!" asked Prue excited she'd found another man besides Cole.

"I did! And it was amazing! He was amazing!" replied Phoebe

"What about Cole?" asked Piper

"I don't know, but I just totally fell for this guy, I mean he has the most beautiful eyes!"

"Well I'm happy for you Phoebes, I really am, but I have to go to P3"

"At this time?" asked Prue

"Yes, I have to make sure those suppliers picked up those extra cases of vodka. See you later!"

At P3

As Piper got out of the car, a man was standing in front of her

"Er, can I help you?"

"Well I was just wondering, do you own this club?"

"Sure do" replied Piper

"Wow, that's great, it looks amazing!"

"Do you want to take a tour?"

"You bet! I'm Jake by the way"

"Piper"

"What a beautiful name!

"Thank you Jake!"

Once inside, Piper knew instantly Jake was flirting, but for some reason, she liked it, she liked him!

"What am I doing! What about Leo? Oh yeah, that cute whitelighter who I married a couple weeks ago!" Piper thought to herself

"Jake I have a lot to do, would you mind leaving?"

"Oh, I see, can I just tell you one last thing?"

"Sure"

Jake pressed Piper's body against his and kissed her slowly, gently, passionately. Piper didn't pull away, in fact, she pulled him closer, not wanting the kiss to end, but eventually it did, they were both out of breath by the end of it.

"Piper, that kiss, it was great!"

"I know, it really was!"

"Piper?"

"Yes Jake?"

"Is there a back room in here?"

"Yes there is, It's that way"

Piper points behind the bar.

"Would you like to, you know..." asked Jake

"Wow, you're being a little forward aren't you?" suggested Piper

"Oh Piper, I was going to ask you if you wanted to have a drink in there with me, you know, a nice romantic time, just you and me."

"Sounds wonderful" replied Piper.

But while they were drinking, Piper could help but think that there was something she'd forgotten, no, it was more like someone she'd forgotten.

"Piper, honey, are you ok?" asked Jake

"You seem a little distracted"

"No, no, I'm fine, really, I'm having the best tI'me with you!"

At the manor

Leo orb's in as Phoebe and Prue were having lunch.

"Hey ladies, do any of you know where Piper is?" asked Leo

"Yeah, she went to P3" replied Prue

"But I was just there, and it was empty"

"Did you check the back room, or the office?" suggested Phoebe

"No, I didn't think of that, thanks you guys" and Leo orbed out.

"Hey Prue? Jake hasn't called yet, he said he'd call."

"Don't worry Phoebes, he'll call, he obviously likes you!"

At P3

Piper and Jake were making out, and Leo orbed in.

"Piper! What the hell are you doing?" shouted Leo, trying to hide the fact that he was hurt by what he saw.

"Leo! Oh my god Leo, I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!"

"Piper, I don't believe this, who is this guy? I take it marriage doesn't mean as much as I thought it did to you." Asked Leo

"No, Leo wait!" but It was too late, Leo had already orbed out.

"Piper? Who was that?" asked Jake

"Jake I haven't been completely honest with you, that man was.."

As Piper gazes into Jake's eyes, something came over her, she couldn't hurt Jake, she liked him too much, in fact, she was falling in-love with him!

"He was who?" asked Jake

"He was my brother"

"But what was he saying about marriage?"

"Um, he meant, that he was having some problems with his marriage, and I guess he's just jealous that I'm in a relationship."

Piper was surprised at what she had just said.

"So, we're in a relationship?" asked Jake, curious but very happy

"I guess we are!"

As Piper got home, she found, Prue, Phoebe and Leo all sitting on the couch waiting for her.

"Hey guys, who died?" asked Piper, with a sheepish grin.

"Piper? How could you do this to Leo? Are you out of your mind?" shouted Phoebe.

"Do what? Oh you mean Jake? I couldn't help it, he had the most amazing eyes in the world!"

"I can't take much more of this, I'm outa here" Leo said as he orbed out.

"Did you say Jake?" asked Phoebe

"Yeah, that's his name, why?"

"Does he have dark hair, hazel eyes, and an earring?"

"Yes! How did you know?"

"That's my Jake! How could you do this to me Piper?"

"What do you mean your Jake?" asked Piper

"He's the guy I kind of SLEPT with last night! Remember!"

"No way, Phoebe, he's too romantic to have slept with you on the first date!"

Phoebe holds up a picture of Jake from her purse

"This him?"

"Yes, it is! But wait, that means.."

"It means you stole my man!" Phoebe cut in

"No way! He's my man! Not yours!"

"Hold on you guys! Are you both completely out of your minds??? This guy Jake has ruined your relationships! Piper remember Leo? He clipped his wings for you, he took you to heaven! And this is how you repay him? And Phoebe, Cole almost died for you! How could you both do this, what's got into you two?" Prue asked a little angry at her sisters.

"I don't know, but I think I'm in love with him!" said Piper

"So Phoebe, you keep your slutty hands of my man, understood?"

"Excuse me, I found him first!"

"Whatever, I'm going to see him now!"

"Not if I get there first!"

Phoebe pushed Piper out the way and jumped into the car.

"That little witch!"

"So to speak." Said Prue

"Piper? What bout Leo, don't you love him anymore? What happened?"

"I don't know Prue, it just feels right with Jake, you know?"

"No I don't, Piper you need to get your head out of the clouds and back to reality! Your married!"

"Whatever Prue, I'm outa here, I'm going to Jake's, so he can tell my little brat of a sister that he loves me!" with that said, she jumped into Prue's car and drove to Jake's place.

At Jake's Apartment

"I've got them right where I want them, there as good as mine!!"

"But what about the other? Prue?" asked The Source

"With the other two out of the way, the third one will be easy to kill!" replied Jalon.

There was a knock at the door

"Jake? Its Phoebe! Open up!"

"Hi Phoebe! Your looking beautiful today!"

"Really thank you! Um Jake? my sister seems to think your in love with her, your not are you?"

"Piper? No of course not!"

"How did you know her name was Piper?"

"The same way I know that you're the Charmed Ones!"

Jalon's eyes went red

"Oh my god" you're a, a .. A demon!"

"Wow, your clever!"

He grabbed Phoebe and tied her to a chair.

"I take it Piper's on her way round?"

"How did you know that?"

"I know everything Phoebe! Look into my eyes, not very romantic now am I?"

"Let me go!!! Please, don't hurt me! Or my sisters!"

"Too late, witch!"

At the manor

Leo orbed in

"Hi Prue, I've got news, very, very bad news!"

"Oh Leo, are you ok?"

"No I'm not, and neither are your sisters"

"What's wrong with my sisters?!"

"A demon, called Jalon, known as the demon of possession he'll make someone fall in love with him, and cause rivalry between his two victims, in this case, Piper and Phoebe, until they are vulnerable enough for him to take advantage.

"Wait, so Jake is, Jalon?"

"Yes! That's what I'm trying to say!"

"Makes sense, wait, Phoebe and Piper are on there way to Jake.er, Jalon's place now! We need to get there, how do we vanquish him?"

"I don't know, you need to look in the book of shadows, now!"

"I'm on my way"

"Jake, let me go, please!" pleaded Phoebe

"No chance!"

"My sisters will figure out what' happened, then they'll vanquish you for good!"

"Who? Oh you mean Prue, she's on her own, and when I've finished with you and Piper, she'll be next! ha ha!"

"Leo" I found it!, Jalon, demon of possession, it says everything you told me before, there's a spell, and it doesn't require the power of three. If I can find out where they are, I can destroy him."

"Have you tries scrying?"

"Great idea, hang on you guys, we're coming!"

A few minutes later

"Ok, there on highclifs avenue, that's only a couple of minutes drive, but they both took the cars!"

"We can orb there, don't worry there gonna be ok, I promise."

"Come on, we have to go!"

Jakes place

There was a knock at the door

"Ah, that must be Piper, come in!"

Prue slammed the door open with her powers

"Phoebe! Thank god your ok! Where's Piper?"

"Prue!! She's not here yet! Help me Prue!"

"Well, well, well, this is easier than I thought!" chuckled Jalon

Jalon took a knife and held it to Phoebe's neck.

"No! don't, please! Take me instead, just let her go!" said Prue

"Move, and she dies, now, hands behind your back, you don't think I know what your powers are witch?"

"Ok, just drop the knife"

Just then, Piper came through the door

"Oh my god, Phoebe!" shouted Piper!

"Jake?"

"No, Jalon, he's a demon." replied Leo

"A what?!"

"Piper freeze him quick!" said Prue

With the flick of her hands, she froze Jalon

"Ok, don't worry Pheebs, its ok."

Prue untied Phoebes hands with her powers and Phoebe ran to hug her two sisters.

"Its ok now Phoebe!" said Piper

"Now its my turn" and Prue began to read the spell to vanquish Jalon

"evil demon, go back to hell,
leave no trace so no one can tell,
surrender now, and disappear,
somewhere very far from here.

"No! no!! noooooooo!!!!"

The demon, vanished not even leaving a trace of dust where it was standing.

"Oh guys! Thank you so much!"

"I'm so sorry Phoebe! I didn't mean to shout at you before." Said Piper

"Hey, its over now, I'm just glad to be alive!"

"Leo!"

"Hey Piper, you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm great, Leo, I'm so sorry about."

"I know, and it wasn't your fault" Leo cut her off.

"I love you Leo, always."

And Piper gently kissed Leo.

"Hey, that reminds me, I forgot about Cole!" said Phoebe

"Oh, yeah, Cole.." said Prue a little disappointed.

"I know you don't like him Prue, but could you try to be a little supportive?"

"The last time you said that, we found out he was a demon! But I guess I could try, I mean, you never liked any of my boyfriends either!" said Prue

"That's very true sis!"

The next day at the manor

"Morning Piper, Prue!"

"Morning Pheebs!" they both shouted

"So, Piper, everything ok with you and Leo?" asked Phoebe

"Yeah, I think so, I just wish it had never happened you know?"

"Well he wouldn't give up on you that easily Pipe!" said Prue

"I know, but I still feel really guilty, and a little pissed that a demon could make me fall in love with him, and almost wreck my relationship!

"Yeah, well, Piper, can I borrow the car?"

"Why Pheebs?"

"I wanna go to Cole's again, and see if he's in, pleassseeeee?"

"Hey Phoebe, you can borrow mine if you like" suggested Prue

"Yeah? Thanks Prue! See you all later!"

Phoebe lest the house

"Well, that was a change of attitude Prue!" said Piper

"Well, I thought I should give Cole a chance."

"Good for you!"

At Cole's place

"Cole? Cole are you there?"

"Yeah, come in, doors open."

As Phoebe opened the door, what caught her eye wasn't Cole, but a table with two candles, two plates, and two wine glasses.

"Table for two madam?" said Cole in his best French accent

"Wow! Cole, how did you know I was coming round?"

"Well, Prue called just after you left and told me you were on your way, sorry I couldn't get dressed up, I only had five minutes to prepare!"

"Are you kidding, this is amazing!"

"I knew you'd like it, shall we?" Cole said, as he pulled out a chair for Phoebe, then kissed her gently.
