[South Attic] 3:30 a.m. Friday Morning
Jan. 13th, 2006 08:57 amPhoebe slipped out of bed with Cole when it was still dark outside and quietly went into the common room of the South Attic. She sat on the desk and drew her knees to rest under her chin and stared into the distance.
She was ashamed of herself...and it had been Angela that made her see that she had let emotions and personal feeling get in the way of what was right.
After signing Angela's petition, Phoebe had been silent and thoughtful for the rest of last night and hadn't gotten any sleep because of it.
How could she have done something so thoughtless and cruel? Wasn't the attitude towards Cole in the beginning of the year what had pissed her off and made her decide to out herself as a witch? What had happened to the young woman who had wanted to bring both humans and non-humans together and show them that they weren't so different? Wasn't the attitude of the way people treated Angelus in the beginning of the year...okay, bad example there...or was it?
If it had come out that Angelus hadn't killed her close friend, she still would have been his supporter and his defender --- even though she knew now he was just taking advantage of that and toying with her.
Grams had taught her that all creatures deserved to live and that the only ones that she had to destroy were those that were evil...she would have been so ashamed of her if she had seen those posters yesterday. She buried her face in her knees so that her cries didn't wake up her boyfriend, but she felt rather than heard Seraphim and Valkyrie come out to take their usual places on each side of her.
Then there was the whole Sawyer and Maia thing...oooh how she wanted to skin that boy alive.
First, he had made Paige cry over and over again...and she hadn't made him bleed because Paige asked her to back off because she really did love him. Then, THEN the bastard had hit Maia! THAT got him off the immunity list as far as she was concerned.
She needed to talk to Maia and try to get her to look into taking some forms of self-defense. She would ask ... she would ask Angel or Callisto for suggestions...or maybe not as she was afraid that Callisto might think she had honestly been putting the moves on her boyfriend. But...she would risk the ass-kicking if it meant assuring that Maia would feel safe again.
She needed to talk to Paige about Sawyer. If he hit Maia, who knew that he wouldn't hit Paige...and that was something Phoebe would NOT allow to happen. She hadn't been able to stop him from hitting Maia, but she could prevent him from hitting Paige.
She needed to talk to Piper and Paige...and maybe Grams and Prue about making some sort of potion or charm to protect the students when they got bit by the gremlins. Perhaps something that would counteract the effects of the venom BEFORE the embarrassment and humiliating behavior occured?
