Suite 518/520, Monday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Despite not having class until fourth period, Bel was up earlier, waiting for Isabel to come by. He'd fed the cats, made breakfast, and was now lounging on the couch, flipping through the channels on the TV until he found Enchanted reruns. The fact that it was the vampire episode didn't influence his decision to stay on that channel, not at all.

"Sure, no problem," Bel said, almost disappointed because he could glower so well. "And you have my cell if you need to get out of there sooner. I don't have any plans for the day other than my class fourth period, but I can even shimmer out of that if you need me."

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you," Isabel said, taking a deep breath and walking back to stand beside him. "So how does this work? Same as the last time?"

[demonbelthazor]

"It's mostly the same," Bel said. "But a little different. Whatever power I absorbed in the Wastelands wasn't quite the same as my old power, but it still has the same results." He held out his hand to Isabel.

Isabel took his hand, nerves making her hang on tightly. "Just don't turn me into a water cooler."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel smirked a little at that. "I save that for special people," he said. Then he summoned his power and willed them to teleport from the school to Roswell. It felt mostly the same as shimmering with him before had felt, but if Isabel looked down at herself or watched Bel while he did it, it seemed like their forms blurred, a faint yellow-gold glow around them. Also, the sound effect sounded a little different.

"I'm still glad I skipped breakfast this morning," Isabel said once they were finally in Roswell. She stared at the home she hadn't seen in over a year if she counted her time on Antar.

The front door open and her mother's voice called out. "Isabel?"

Giving Bel's hand one last squeeze, she closed her eyes. "Tonight at seven?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll meet you right here," Bel said, squeezing her hand back. "Sooner if you need me, just give me a call."

"Okay," she replied, letting go of his hand and starting up the walk as both of her parents rushed out the door to meet her.

Bel lingered a few minutes to make sure everything looked like it was going okay, then shimmered back to school.
