Early Tuesday Morning, Suite 518/520

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe had slipped from the bed early because of a headache. Even though she didn't have any classes today, she was making tea and trying to do some thinking.

First of all, her premonition from yesterday was still weighing on her and she needed to try and figure out what it meant. She didn't like having images shot into her mind and then being clueless about their point or their meaning.

She sipped her tea as she stood staring out the window.

Of course, she could probably concentrate on that better if she wasn't worried about Cole. His words last week about not having an identity out in the world had been running through her mind and she had finally decided that there were a few things she could do to help him with that. After all, one of her best friends was Veronica Mars and she could probably help remedy that problem. Parker could probably help with that, too. She was going to give Veronica a call later and tell her about Cole's concerns -- and her own worries.

However, since he had missed all of his classes for a month due to being dead, he was worried that he was going to flunk out and have to repeat his senior year. There had to be something the school could do to help him. There had to be. She had been thinking about talking to Aziraphale and James and seeing what advice they had -- and then go talk to Zoe.

With a frown, she shook her head and set her tea down. The headache was letting up a little and she decided that she wanted to be back in bed with much snuggling. She turned towards the bedroom and took a step forward, and heard that all too familiar sound.





...fear... anxiety... cruelty in hurting... satisfaction... a shocked face staring back... he knows... As Phoebe fought to shake herself free of the images her premonition was showing her, the scene changed. He was taking something... something that was needed very badly... its loss would cause panic and discomfort... he was leaving with it, quite pleased with himself...





Phoebe let out a slight sound as she leaned against the wall. Was it the same shadowy figure she had seen in her premonition yesterday? Who was the person he was threatening? Who was he stealing from? Who was he and who were his victims?

"Why can't I see their faces?" She whispered, rubbing her forehead. "I nedd to help them... but against who?"

Slight sound or not, it was enough to wake up Cole and send him out into the living room looking for Phoebe. "Another premonition?" he said, drawing her carefully into his arms.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe clung to him, nodding. "Someone... someone is hurting people... I keep thinking of the feeling of falling into the hole from yesterday. And now these two..."

[demonbelthazor]

"What did you see?" Cole asked, stroking her hair comfortingly.

[sensethevisions]

"The first one... there were these two people and one of them was threatening the other? I think that's what was happening. One was full of so much anger and the other person seemed shocked and upset." She took a deep breath, letting him comfort her. "Then before I could process that, I ahd a second one. In this one, the same shadowy figure was taking something important to someone... something was needed desperately and that would cause anxiety if lost..."

[demonbelthazor]

"We need to figure out what's going on," Cole said. "Now."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked up into his face. "I'm not scared." Much. "I know I'm safe... you won't let whatever it is hurt me."

[demonbelthazor]

"Over my dead body," Cole growled in affirmation.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe hugged him tightly. "I love you."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole kissed the top of her head. "I love you, too, sweetheart."

[sensethevisions]

She nodded. "I hate it when I can only get glimpses."

[demonbelthazor]

"I know," Cole said. "But the more you see, the more you'll be able to control it."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I know, it's just frustrating sometimes."

[demonbelthazor]

"It's frustrating not being able to do anything about whatever it is that's causing you to be upset," Cole said.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded against him. "I know love. You would rather prefer a physical target to pummel for this."

[demonbelthazor]

"Exactly," Cole growled. "No one messes with my Phoebe."

[sensethevisions]

"No. And no one messes with my Cole," she said firmly.

[demonbelthazor]

"How did your finals go yesterday?" Cole asked.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe worried her bottom lip. "I know I did really well in James's class and in Phale's..."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm sure you did well," Cole assured her.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled faintly. "It was the DAMM class, Cole. It was my first final of the day and I was still thinking about the premonition..."

[demonbelthazor]

"What did you have to do?" Cole asked.

Back in the bedroom, Anders frowned in his sleep. Something felt off -- like there was a distinct lack of quite as many snuggles as he'd gotten used to.

He wasn't quite awake yet -- just vaguely, subconsciously aware that something was missing. It made him a little restless, though . . .

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

. . . well, he had to wake up eventually, especially when he realized he was getting no snuggling.

"Hey," Anders said plaintively as he sat up. "Where'd everybody go?"

[demonbelthazor]

Seraphim jumped up on the bed and looked at Anders expectantly.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders shook his head and reached out to start scritching Seraphim around the ears. "Hi, cat," he said, feeling a little self-conscious about it -- which was dumb considering he routinely talked to a robot dog.

[demonbelthazor]

Seraphim purred and butted his head against Anders's hand, noting his approval of the interloper in the humans' bed.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders got the weirdest feeling the cat didn't mind having him there. Which gave him an inexplicably warm fuzzy feeling.

Warm and fuzzy in ways that had nothing to do with, you know, cat.
