Across The Causeway and On The Mainland, Wednesday Night

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was sitting on the couch in the suite idly playing with Cole's athame. She was lost in thought for awhile, but then got up and started pacing the suite anxiously. She was turning to make another pass of the room when a strand of her black hair swung into her line of sight.

She needed to fix that. Immediately.

She slid the athame into her inside jacket pocket. She felt better having it on her. It made her feel closer to Cole. She grabbed her bag and headed out. The only place that she knew that could probably turn her hair back to normal was on the mainland. She headed through Fandom and then started walking across the Causeway. She took out her cellphone and called a cab while she walked, but they were busy tonight so it would be awhile before hers met her.

That was fine with her. It gave her some time to think... to not have to pretend to be okay to her friends that came to see her.

[[OOC: That Phoebe went to the mainland is okay for broadcast. Who she saw and what she did, NFB due to distance]]

Dane waited until Phoebe left the safe confines of Fandom before shimmering in behind her. "My Queen," he said sarcastically.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe spun on her heel with a glare. "Oh you have got to be kidding me."

[blessed_twice]

"Not pleased to see me?" Dane said. "I take it then you had a hand in vanquishing the Source?"

[sensethevisions]

"Dane, I was never pleased to see you and don't see why that should change. As for what happened to The Source, you don't think it could have been done without me, do you?"

Phoebe had never liked Dane and that dislike was causing her to be a little less cautious than usual.

[blessed_twice]

"That's what I thought," Dane said. "When we found the Source destroyed and you missing, it was easy to put the pieces together. You were his queen, and you betrayed him."

[sensethevisions]

"I did my duty," Phoebe growled. "I did what Cole would have wanted me to do." She lifted her chin. "I stand by the decisions I made."

[blessed_twice]

"Now I'm going to do my duty," Dane said smoothly. "I'm claiming the throne of the Underworld. I'm going to become the new Source. And to prove myself, I'm going to kill a Charmed One."

[sensethevisions]

"You'll never become The Source, Dane," Phoebe scoffed. "You don't do so well without someoone holding your leash."

[blessed_twice]

"I've been chosen to lead the Underworld," Dane snapped. "And you won't find me as easy to deal with as Belthazor. I'll destroy you and your sisters."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smirked at him, and shook her head. "You've only been chosen because no one else has thought to step forward yet. Youcan no more destroy us than the old Source could. In fact, you'll fail a lot quicker than he did."

[blessed_twice]

"You no longer have a tie to the Source," Dane pointed out. "You don't have the powers you did in the Underworld. What are you going to do, premonition me to death?" he sneered.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe stood her ground. "I don't need power of any kind to destroy you, Dane."

[blessed_twice]

Dane conjured an energy ball. "I'd like to see you try," he said mockingly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe drew the athame from her pocket and let it fly. "Tht athame belonged to Belthazor, Dane."

Well, Cole had taught her never to let the demons throw first.

[blessed_twice]

Dane staggered back as the athame sunk into his chest. "Demon steel," he had time to hiss before he erupted into flames and vanished with a cry of pain.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighed as she went to collect Cole's athame.

"I did try to warn you."

She no longer felt like going to get her hair changed -- or leaving the safety of Fandom right now. Who knew how many others might come after her right now in an attempt to prove themselves?

Phoebe shook her head and put the athame back in her pocket. She cancelled her cab and headed back across the causeway and back to the dorms.
