Early Monday Morning, Suite 518/520

[sensethevisions]

The problem with being a witch is that even when you are curled up in your comfy bed with two hot guys and sleeping peacefully, your powers never seem to take a break.




...dank... dark... falling...it's a hole... a deep hole... can't get out... shadows... walking away and leaving me here... come back! Falling things... come back!




Phoebe sat up screaming and shuddering. "No! Get me out of here!" She might have been trying to climb up something.

Bel bolted upright at Phoebe's scream. "Phoebe! What is it, what's wrong?" he said, tensed for attack.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was whimpering and she looked like she was seeing something far away. She made another whimpering sound and her eyes cleared. "Cole?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"What's going on?" asked Anders, awake and upright at the sudden commotion. He'd never seen her having a premonition before, and he was more than a little freaked out. "Phoebe, what -- frak, are you okay?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was sniffling and telling Cole what had happened.

[demonbelthazor]

Cole folded his arms around her. "Did you have a premonition, sweetheart?" he said, after satisfying himself there was no threat in the room.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I hate it when I have them when I'm sleeping. I can't tell when it's really happening or when it's a premonition." She shuddered. "There was a hole and I was falling into it after I was pushed. I couldn't get out. The shadow that pushed me into the hole kicked debris over me and then left me there." She swallowed hard.

[demonbelthazor]

"It's okay, it was just a vision, it can't hurt you," Cole said. He exchanged glances with Anders. "We're not going to let anyone hurt you."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders met his gaze and nodded, leaning over to put a hand on Phoebe's arm. "Not gonna let that happen, nope."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I... I know you guys won't. I couldn't see who it was or where it was. Just pushed into a deep, dark hole and couldn't get out."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll keep my eye out for anything like that," Bel promised.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Anders added. "Um . . . so what do we do? About what you saw, I mean?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head. "I don't know. I try to sense if there's a threat nearby and see if I can pinpoint where the premonition was coming from. I'd need to try and seek out the surroundings that I saw."

[demonbelthazor]

"Not alone," Cole warned.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Definitely not," Anders, in his role as Voice of Agreement, added. "I'm totally up to helping."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "Right now, not really having any desire to go anywhere alone."

[demonbelthazor]

"Why don't you lie back down and get some rest," Cole said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders nodded, still doing the agreement thing. "I don't have to be anywhere until seventh period, so I can stay here if you want me to."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe wasn't sure that she could rest, but she nodded anyway. "I have finals in my three classes this morning," she whispered. However, she made no move to leave the bed, yet.

[demonbelthazor]

"You'll do fine," Cole assured her.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hell, you're gonna kick ass." Anders ran a hand up her arm reassuringly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was starting to lay back down again. "Defense Against Malicious Magic, Fairy Tales and Conflict Management today," she said softly. "Phale's and James' class I am fairly certain I can ace. It's DAMM I'm worried about."

[demonbelthazor]

"Leave the flunking to me," Bel said, only half-joking.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thought that was my job," Anders said, poking him in the side.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head from where she was cuddling.. "You're not going to flunk," she said stubbornly.

Speaking of which, she really needed to get him to talk to someone about setting him up an identity for after graduation...

[demonbelthazor]

"I missed like a month of all my classes," Bel said. "I'm going to fail."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Aw, come on." Anders curled up closer to him. "At this school? There's gotta be ex -- what do you call it, ex-something circumstances for being dead."

[sensethevisions]

"Extenuating circumstances," Phoebe said as she pulled Cole down to lay down and cuddle with him. "No you're not. I'm pretty sure that being dead for a month gets you a pass. I know James will work with you on that. Talk to you other teachers, Cole. It can only help, love. I will help with anything they say you need to make up. I will not let you flunk." She wouldn't know what to do if he did flunk and she had to go away to school.

"It will all work out, sweetheart. Some way or another it will work out."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel snuggled closer to both of them. "We'll see, I guess," he said. "I know some of the stuff from the classes."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"You'll do fine."

Anders sighed and put his arm over both of them, closing his eyes. He was trying really hard not to think too much about the whole thing with them graduating and leaving, just yet.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe held on to both of them, trying not to think about much. However, she felt Anders's feelings about all of this.

"We're still here," she said quietly to him.

[demonbelthazor]

All this was making Bel restless, so he tried to slip from the bed. "First dibs on the shower," he said off-handedly.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"No, comfy," Anders protested, trying to hang on.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe grabbed ahold of him and held him to her. She could sense that he wasn't happy about something.

"Please stay here with us, Cole. Please?"

[demonbelthazor]

"All right," he sighed, and settled back down, but he was still tense.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"'s better," Anders mumbled. "'sides, Phoebe's the one who's gotta go to three finals today. She should get dibs on the shower."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe tightened her hold on Cole and started running her fingers through his hair.

[demonbelthazor]

Cole tried to relax at Phoebe's touch. He really didn't want to think of finals or graduation or anything like that.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Neither did Anders, so he decided to join in with the distraction techniques, nuzzling Bel's shoulder.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nuzzled Cole and held Anders's arm around both of them. She could feel Cole's tension and did her best to soothe him.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel closed his eyes. Definitely a nice soothing distraction.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders was perfectly happy to keep up the distraction as long as possible . . . or until somebody finally actually got out of the bed.
