Room 518/520, Wednesday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel woke up with a groan. He rolled over, trying to will the pounding in his head away. His memory was a little hazy, but he remembered drinking to several uncomfortable questions and kissing Veronica and Bridge.

Right now he felt like he wanted to die. Maybe Piper still had some of that vanquish potion left....


[ooc: open to future_visions and anyone who wants to say they passed out in the room last night.

Phoebe wrapped her arms around him. "Things are different now. No one can make you do anything."

There might have been relief that it hadn't happened with a certain vampire of their acquaintance.

"I know...." He struggled with the words, lowering his gaze. "When I was young, Raynor protected me from the other demons. He withdrew his protection when I got older. Not completely -- he wouldn't let them kill me because he and the Source wanted me alive, but there were plenty of other ways for them to hurt and humiliate me."

She lifted his face so she cold look at him. "None of that was your fault, love," she said softly. "And if I ever see Raynor he and I are going to ahve very strong words... which will end in him becoming ashes."

"If it wasn't for him I'd be dead now," Cole said quietly.

Re: [Locked to Phoebe, before anyone else wakes]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I know and I'll be sure to thank him before I vanquish him."

"I don't know if I could," Cole admitted. "Vanquish him, I mean. He wasn't like my mother. He protected me and trained me. He was my mentor. My...master."

Re: [Locked to Phoebe, before anyone else wakes]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "That's why you have me," she said quietly. "No one is your master any longer and I have no qualms about vanquishing his ass --- and I'm sure Piper and Paige would help me."

[demonbelthazor]

"That's one I better stay out of," Cole said. "Just in case. He can read thoughts, for one thing. He can control the minds of other demons."

Re: [Locked to Phoebe, before anyone else wakes]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. She looked down, trying to put her thoughts into words. "Was that the same reason for the sex with the same gender drinking, too?"

Re: [Locked to Phoebe, before anyone else wakes]

[demonbelthazor]

He nodded. "Most of the time it was to show that I was weak. Sometimes, though...it was to show I was strong. Either way, it's not something I like to remember."

Re: [Locked to Phoebe, before anyone else wakes]

[sensethevisions]

"The questions got a little... personal."

"Guess that's what those games are supposed to do," Cole said with a sigh. "I didn't want you to find out that way."
