Suite 518/520, Tuesday early morning

[demonbelthazor]

Agitated, Bel paced his room. First his failure with Veronica and Piper, then Cally's discovery of his powers last night. He was starting to leave a trail of evidence that could eventually point back at him, and that could not be allowed to happen. He'd have to step up his plans, move the coronation forward so he could end this charade.

And in the meantime, maybe he could arrange some sort of distraction, keep attention from falling on himself. So now he pondered this, wondering what he could do -- and who would be a suitable victim.

[ooc: open if you have need of the ex-demon.]

"Definitely," Bel said. "And hopefully Phoebe's Book will give us an idea of how to deal with it, maybe a vanquish spell."

[demonbelthazor]

"Getting a fresh start on life can change a man," Bel said. "It's made me see what the important things really are."

Schrodinger smiled.

It was a smile that contained no warmth, no happiness, no real good feelings at all. It was full of sharp teeth, and could probably be best described as "predatory".

"Well then, I'm very happy for you. Not many get a second chance. I hope you don't waste it."

"A vanquishing spell that works would be really nice," Cameron agreed.

[demonbelthazor]

"Some demons need the Power of Three -- that's Phoebe, Piper, and their older sister Prue -- to be vanquished," Bel said. "But we'll deal with that if necessary then the time comes."

[demonbelthazor]

"Oh, I have absolutely no intention of doing that," Bel said with a cold smile of his own.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Some demons being upper level demons?" Cameron guessed.

[demonbelthazor]

"The most powerful ones, yes," Bel said. "It would've taken all three of them to vanquish me -- when I was still a demon."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You were upper level?" He didn't mean to sound that surprised. Really.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel chuckled. "Believe it or not. I always thought I had to compensate for being half-human by being the most powerful demon I could be."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"That's good!" Schrodinger said brightly. "Because, generally, you don't get more than one second chance."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"So the whole levels thing isn't actually something you're born as?" Cameron asked.

[demonbelthazor]

"Technically, it's what you're born as," Bel said. "But in my case, my human blood held me back. I was...looked down upon."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Ah," he nodded, understanding now. "But you showed them."

[demonbelthazor]

"Until I came here," Bel admitted. "Then I realized I was embracing the wrong half of my heritage."

Well, until recently.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad you came here then," Cameron said sincerely.

[demonbelthazor]

"Me, too," Bel said with a smile. "I've certainly made more of myself here."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Definitely a better kind of making yourself," Cameron agreed. He glanced at his watch and sighed. "I got to get to class, but you'll keep me up to speed if you find out anything on that demon?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "I'll talk to Phoebe today about it and let you know what we find out."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," he said and stepped back towards the door. "I'll talk to you soon, hopefully."

[demonbelthazor]

"Talk to you later," Bel said.
