Chapter 36
Colette didn't talk to Cole in weeks. But Cole knew that colette couldn't keep it up and so did she.
For Colette she hated bearing a grudge with someone but for her she was proud of herself for stringing it out for so long because usually she would give up and apologise 24hours later and Cole as you all know isn't the type of guy you apologise too.
She could of course apologise to him but that would be too easy.. That would put her in his clutches forever and then she would never escape.
She was mad with him and he knew it. Mad for killing another life.. Another soul regardless whether he was a demon.
Since Colette had her eyes open to this new world she started believing that everyone deserves to live not die and end up in this never ending war.
She desperately wanted to fix it and if her being silent proves a point then so be it.
She wanted to be in control for once and not him. We all know men have major issues and egos when it comes to power and Cole Turner is no different.. Colette knew that.
Whilst Colette was giving Cole the Cold shoulder, He of course was putting his plan into motion.
Since he met Colette.. His plans has changed.
He decided that he would go ahead with marrying Phoebe and then of course he would eventually marry colette.
I know what you are thinking.. Cole is many things but not a bigamist.
He will spend his entire marriage to Phoebe to prove to Colette that it is her destiny to be his queen.
She knew out of all people that a destiny was pretty much close to a prophecy and this one was one she can't escape from.
Cole flames into Colette's room.
Colette knew he had flamed into the room even when he had coughed to make himself known but still she remained silent and stared out the window with her back to him.
He smiles with his arms folded. "You..Win."
Colette turns around with her mouth open unsure whether she had heard correctly. "What did you just say?.."
He grins. "I said.. You.. Win!."
Colette looks at him in shock. "What do you mean exactly?.. Are you going to let me go?."
Cole nodded. "Sort of yes.."
Colette frowns and folds her arms herself. "Cole.. Either you are or you aren't.."
Cole sits on her bed. "Usually for a witch there's 48 hours for them to choose their side good or evil.. It's something to do with free will and all that.."
Colette nodded. "And?.. What is that to do with me?."
Cole shrugs. "Since that time has already passed and I kind of took your own free will from you.. I'm offering you something."
Colette shrugged. "Yeah you did.. You practically imprisoned me with you for the rest of my life.."
He raised his eyebrow. "Are you listening or not?."
Colette sighed. "Fine.. Get it over with.. Your point is?."
He looks at her up and down unsure whether she would take his offer. "Think of it as a get out of jail free card.. I'll let you go travelling for a couple of months or so and in that time you get to decide whether you want to be with me."
Colette frowns. "So let me get this straight.. If I give the wrong answer.. Basically I'm dead but if I give the right answer I'm stuck with you?.. Gee.. What a decision."
Cole shakes his head. "There is no right and wrong answer."
She looks at him curiously. "And if I refuse to be with you when the month or so is up?."
He raises his hands up in the air. "Then I'll leave you alone but I'll guarantee you won't.. "
Colette sighs heavily. "Okay.. I'll take your word for it..So Where do you want me to go?."
Cole smiles. "Your father Poseidon will be taking you on this.. Little Journey."
He calls in the air for Poseidon and sure enough a few minutes later Poseidon appears in a pool of water from the bath in the bathroom into Colette's room.
Poseidon holds out his hand. "We don't have much time.. Take my hand."
Colette takes one look at Cole's face.
He smirks confidently. "I'll see you when you get back."
Poseidon and Cole nod at each other respectively and slowly Colette takes Poseidon's hand.
It was a strange Journey. She felt like they weren't solid objects anymore but as if they were water itself. They were the current that pulled both Poseidon and Colette herself into the bathroom tub and through the pipes straight out to sea.
They travelled fast. One remark Colette could think of was, "This gives a whole new meaning to sea sickness..Ergh."
At last they arrived at a small village called Godric's Hollow.
They walked together in silence until they came to an old battered house.
Poseidon encouraged her to go inside.
Colette looked at the house horrified. "Are you freaking kidding me?.. It looks like a death trap."
He looked at her sternly. "You will live here for the foreseeable... Go inside.. The family will take care of you."
Colette frowned as she walked toward the house. "The family?.. What is he talking about?..Now I wish I stayed at Cole's"."
She grumbled and moaned all the way up the pathway until she looked up and sure enough a family just stepped outside to greet her.
The woman smiled. "I'm Lily and this is my husband James.." She held a little boy in her arms. "And this is our beautiful little boy Harry."
Colette smiles at the family and then suddenly gasped hearing Poseidon speak in her mind.
"Behave yourself whilst you are here and if you ever need me I'll be there.. Don't forget your decision whilst your at it.. Remember don't get too comfortable.. This isn't what you are here for."
She growled angrily thinking in her mind. "This isn't what I'm here for?.. What the hell is he even talking about?.. You can't just introduce me to a family of strangers with no explanation."
She turned around to give him a piece of her mind but as she was about to give him a long lecture.. He disappeared in a puddle of water again and all she could do was watch.
Lily called for her. "Excuse me.. I don't really know you're name.."
Colette turned around. "I'm Colette.."
James grinned. "Well Colette if I were you I'd come inside before you catch your death.. Unless you have somewhere else to be of course."
Colette shook her head. The temperatures were cold because of all the snow and it was getting colder all the time so she realised she had no choice but to accept their invitation. "Thank you.. I promise that I will be no trouble and try and stay out of your way."
James shook his head as he closed the door. "Nonsense.. Whilst your staying with us.. You are now pretty much one of us.."
Colette laughed. "You don't have some freaky last name do you?."
Lily laughs. "Thankfully not.."
James grinned. "I don't see anything funny about Potter do you?."
James showed her to her room. She looks around her new home and decided she was going to be so happy there and that it was way better than Cole's.. At last just maybe she was wanted.. Wanted for the right reasons.
