Chapter 46-Lay me down

Colette could barely hold herself together by the time the funeral came around. She had hoped that the fire was a part of some crazy dream and that it was'nt real but in reality she knew it was real. She could'nt ignore what she had witnessed that day.

Her Children's screams and Lucas's last words going round and round in her head. She concentrated so much on those last words and final moments so much that she barely heard a word of what the priest was saying.

She looked at Cole on her right standing up just like her but on the opposite side of the church. She was standing in front of the left pew and he was standing on the right.

She stared as each coffin with their names were brought down the aisle.

.

She could'nt do this..She could'nt bury her kids and the worst thing for her was that Cole was not even supporting her. She felt that the only reason Cole was there was because he had to be there otherwise people..Mortals and demons included would ask questions if he was'nt there.

She stared as each coffin was laid on a table side by side each other then turned on her heel and ran down the aisle out of the church.

Cole sighs looking at the worried priest. "I'll Go after her."

Cole ran after Colette and when he caught up with her..He yelled at her annoyed. "Colette..What are you doing?!..You Can't just run out of your own kids funeral."

Colette turned around equally as frustrated and annoyed as he was. "Oh really?..It's not like you care either way because your acting like you don't even wanna be here.."

Cole gasped fakely in surprise. "I can't believe you would say that.. They were my kids."

Colette snapped. "They were my kids too!.. I watched them die!.. You don't even care anyway

"Because all you care about was them becoming the next source."

Cole shrugged. "It's their destiny though..And for your infomation I did care about them."

Colette growled in frustration. "If you cared about them, You would spend less time focusing on making them the next source and playing Demon yourself and actually spending time with them but No..You wouldn't do that."

He folded his arms. "I tried my best..You knew what you was getting into when you got with me in the first place.."

She nodded. "You'r right I did but If I left you and took the kids with me then they just might still be alive."

He shook his head. "I'll leave you to calm down for a bit and then we will carry on with the service."

Colette walked to the edge of the church whilst Cole went inside the church.

Cole placed her back on the wall of the church and fell toward the ground in tears. She started to remember the weeks and months of when she first became involved with Cole Turner.

Standing in Cole's Penthouse facing Cole..She stared at him as Cole had made a shocking admission.

"The Truth is I've grown bored of Phoebe and I've come to the conclusion that she wouldn't make a suitable queen..You However would.."

Colette frowned. "So..What are you saying exactly?."

He leans forward and kisses her passionately.

He breaks free from the kiss and smiles at her. "I'm saying that I like you."

As the memory fades, Another memory comes to her mind but this time its 6 months later.

Colette is standing in an alleyway in san fransisco standing with cole secretly.

"Cole..I know you said you was gonna leave Phoebe in your own time but I can't wait any longer.. I love you and I want to be with you."

Cole sighs holding her chin in his hand. "I know..I love you too but I can't break her heart."

Colette groans. "Cole!..There's no other way around this..You have too."

Cole frowns. "Colette you're just gonna have to trust me..I will leave her I promise."

Colette rolled her eyes. "Cole..If You don't tell her..I will.."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Once again that memory faded and another memory arises in her head again.

This time this is 3 months after Colette's threat to Cole.

Colette is pacing in Cole's penthouse talking to herself.

"I can't go on like this..Everytime I see him with Phoebe and knowing that I'm sleeping with the guy hurts like hell..I can't lie to her anymore..I have to tell her the truth."

Just then Cole flames into the room.

Colette grabs her bag and walks to the door. Cole frowns as he watches her leave and grabs her arm. "What are you doing?."

She looks at him sadly. "I can't go on like this anymore Cole..I'm telling her thr truth..I'm telling her everything.."

He looks at her desperately. "Don't..Please.."

Colette breaks free and walks into the lift, As the lift doors close she says, "I have too."

Colette exits the lift and heads straight for the manor.

Phoebe answers the door. "Hey is everything okay?."

Colette shakes her head. "No it isn't..I have to talk to you."

She nodded. "Okay..Come in.."

Phoebe closes the door and Colette takes a deep breath.

"Me and Cole have been having an affair the last 6 months."

Suddenly come comes barging in through the front door.

Colette looks at Phoebe sadly. "I promise you it's true..We'eve been sleeping together the past 7 months."

Phoebe looks at Cole who stared at them both open mouthed. "I.. Don't know what she's talking about..Seriously I've been worried about her the past few months she's been saying some weird stuff.. Clearly she's delusional."




Colette yelled at him. "Cole!! For god's sake just tell her the truth."

Phoebe looked at Cole. "You know what Cole?.. I believe her because the Cole I knew wouldn't say stuff like that."

Phoebe looked at Colette. "Also I wouldn't have expected to be betrayed by someone I considered my friend."

Colette sighed. "I..WE DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN i SWEAR."

Phoebe slapped Colette in the face. "Get out of my sight.. I don't want you around here ever again."

Colette looks at Phoebe and rubs her face in shock then runs out of the manor in tears.


Back in present day, As the memory fades Colette questions herself. "Why didn't she leave him that day or when Phoebe dumped him after her confession.

Instead she stayed with him because she loved him but most importantly she was blinded by that love.

She didn't know fully what being the source's queen would mean or the responsibility. She didn't care about giving up her life for the job because really she didn't have a life. But she had hoped that there would be love and romance involved but instead she was a baby factory for an heir.

Truthfully she was'nt sure if he had ever really loved her. The laughter and all the good memories they had together even if it was in secret and eventually became all bottled up inside to the point that she had to tell phoebe everything because her conscience wouldn't allow it.

She wipes her tears and decides that she must go on..For kids sake if anything.

She walks back inside and the service continued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the service was over, Four White horses and carriages pulled up outside the church entrance. Each of the Children's coffins were loaded up into each Hearse and set off for burial.

Colette had decided to bury them alongside two special people in her life because she felt that she owed them and partly because she felt guilty for what she last said to them before they died and partly because she knew that they would look after the kids.

Those two people were of course James and Lily potter.

She watched as they unloaded the coffins and lowered them down beside James and Lily's grave.

She took black soot and threw parts of it onto each grave and said the same words at each grave. "I love you.."

The priest says a short prayer.

 
"I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord;
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;
and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."

"O God, whose beloved Son did take little children into his
arms and bless them: Give us grace, we beseech thee, to
entrust this child N. to thy never-failing care and love, and
bring us all to thy heavenly kingdom; through the same thy
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

She looks at Cole again who stares right back at her completely emotional.

Cole asks her an obvious question. "Are you alright?."

She frowned. "Does it look like I'm alright?!.. I just buried my kids"

She sighs shaking her head. "I'm sorry Cole.. I just wanna be alone."

He nodded and left with the other funeral guests leaving Colette staring at James and Lily's graves along with the new graves where her children lay.

She sat down so she could see them all in a row and fell to her knees letting out a howl of pain full of grief.
