Wednesday Morning - Suite 518/520 - Rude Awakening, Literally

[sensethevisions]

After a productive night -- which had involved landing a job at Caritas -- Phoebe had collapsed into bed intending on getting cuddles with her boyfriend and a restful sleep now that the events of the prior week were over.

Well, one out of two wasn't bad...right?





...She was in a room with mirrors... so many mirrors and so many reflections shining back at her. She turned to go away from the mirrors, but there were people all around her and she had to back away, dodge those people. If any of them came close to her, bad things would happen to them, she knew it...

Phoebe let out a whimper in her sleep and then turned her head on the pillow.

...She was outdoors and there were still all of those people and she had to stop herself... she couldn't touch them, couldn't be near them. They'd see... they'd be hurt... friends and family... she could tell them! But no, the ones nearest her had distrust in their eyes... hatred... she had hurt them... an interlude... safety and acceptance... a brief touch... and she's running again... being chased... stumbling... fear...





Phoebe jerked out of the dream so violently that she tumbled off the bed and onto the floor.

"Damn it!" she said quietly as she wrapped her arms around herself and buried her face in her knees.

When had her premonitions started getting so very vague?!

Cole woke up when Phoebe fell out of the bed. He sat upright. "Phoebe?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked up at him. "Premonition," she whispered.

[demonbelthazor]

Cole slipped from the bed and settled on the floor next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders. "Bad one?" he said.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded as she huddled against him. "I was hurting people by accident and then they were chasing me..." She sighed. "They're so vague lately. This is the second time I had this one. The first time was when I spent the night at Nadia's on Thursday night."

[demonbelthazor]

"Might be something that's going to happen soon," Cole said, hugging her close. "Could you tell who you hurt?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head. "At first, I was trying to stay away from people because I was going to hurt them if they got too close. And then I did hurt someone, but I don't know who."

[demonbelthazor]

"You'll figure it out, love," Cole said comfortingly, kissing her forehead. "You're just not used to your powers yet."

[sensethevisions]

"My sisters get cool floaty and exploding powers... I get dreams and nightmares."

[demonbelthazor]

"Their powers might be useless without yours telling them what they have to do," Cole pointed out.

[sensethevisions]

She looked up into his face.

"When did you become the voice of reason?"

[demonbelthazor]

Cole blinked. "Huh. I'm gonna have to do something to rectify that."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe laughed softly and poked him in the side. "Don't. It's nice when you reassure me like that when I'm frustrated."

[demonbelthazor]

"I do my best," he said with a grin, squirming a little as she poked him.

[sensethevisions]

She wrapped her arms around him and lay her head against his. "I miss Piper."

[demonbelthazor]

"I know," he said, stroking her hair. "I can bring you to visit her whenever you want."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I know, love." She paused. "I got a job last night."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole blinked. "A job?"

[sensethevisions]

"Uhmm... yeah..."

[demonbelthazor]

"Where?" he asked.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked up at him. "Uhm... Caritas..."

[demonbelthazor]

He raised an eyebrow. "Doing what?"

[sensethevisions]

"Bartending."

[demonbelthazor]

"Bartending?" Cole said. "Do you even know how to tend bar?"

[sensethevisions]

"It can't be any harder than serving drinks at the Frat... uhmm... parties my friends and I used to go to back home. Anything I don't know Gob said Tino can show me."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole frowned. "I'm not sure I like the idea of you bartending," he said.
