Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday evening

[demonbelthazor]

Using the excuse of no classes this week to have no meeting for clubs, Bel lounged in the fifth floor common room, still troubled by the message he'd gotten the night before.

Maybe Monday Night Football would be distracting enough to get his mind of it and trying to figure out what to do.

"An amulet," Cole said. "One that a witch has." He looked down, unable to meet her eyes.

Phoebe swallowed. "He wants you to kill this witch to get her amulet."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole shook his head. "He just wants the amulet. He didn't say I had to kill the witch." He finally looked back up at Phoebe. "I won't do it, I won't kill for him."

[sensethevisions]

"I know you won't," she said gently. "You're not that person any more. You're you."

[demonbelthazor]

"This is a test of some sort," Cole said. "If I don't do it...I don't know what Raynor will do."

[sensethevisions]

"He'll get himself killed is what he will do," she said fiercely... before she started coughing.

[demonbelthazor]

"That's it, time for bed," Cole said, standing up and drawing Phoebe gently to her feet.

[sensethevisions]

"He cannot have you,"she said stubbornly. "This is your home now and you're free to make your own decisions."

[demonbelthazor]

"I know," he said, gently stroking her hair. "I don't want to go back to that life."

[sensethevisions]

"Won't let him do that to you again," she promised him.

[demonbelthazor]

He rested his chin on the top of her head. He knew it was his choice, not hers, but he loved her fierceness. "I know, sweetheart," he said. "I know."

[sensethevisions]

"I should have a chat with this guy." She said sniffling a little. "He's not allowed to hurt you or make you do things and I want to tell him so."

[demonbelthazor]

"He's very powerful," Cole said. "You don't want to mess with him."

[sensethevisions]

"I don't plan to mess with him."

Just talk to her sisters and look for a way to kill him.

[demonbelthazor]

He hugged her close. "I'll tell him I won't do it," he said.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe hugged him tightly to her. "Be careful, Cole. This... this is bad."

[demonbelthazor]

"I will," he promised. "I'll go see him tomorrow and tell him that I don't work for him anymore."
