Arthurian Traditions Lesson F.I.I.K.

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

The classroom is empty. There is a sign hanging from the moosehead and there is a folded piece of paper in the moose's mouth. The sign reads:

WORK PERIOD FOR YOUR PROJECT.
I WANT A REPORT ON YOUR PROGRESS NEXT CLASS.

ANGEL, YOU WILL FIND YOUR
ESSAY TOPIC IN MOOSEJAW.

I MADE A FUNNY.

The folded paper simply reads, "Women. Discuss."

"Don't go there," Cole snarled. The hands on Phoebe's arms were shaking as he pulled her back toward him. "C'mon, sweetheart," he said, his voice strained. "We don't need to work on the assignment here. Let's go to the library or something."

Angel simply folded his arms and smiled.

Phoebe looked at Cole in worry and confusion. She then turned to Angel.

"What are you implying?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nothing at all."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole gave Angel a murderous look. "He's playing mind games, Phoebe. Don't listen to him."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at Cole in concern. She stumbled forward as his emotions overwhelmed her.

Fear, anger, and worry. And love...Intense love for her.

Cole was afraid, badly afraid. She turned to look at Angel and faltered as that familiar sensation overcame her.

Darkness...hatred...anger...fear...resentment...

Cole...kneeling...

A red-cloaked figure with stupid-looking wings was standing over him.

"Kill them, or you die!

Phoebe made a soft sound in her throat as she fought free of the premonition.

[demonbelthazor]

"Phoebe?" Cole said, alarmed, catching her in his arms.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe leaned against Cole, trying to clear her head.

She looked at Cole and then looked at Angel.

"Vision," she whispered.

She looked at Angel. "What do you think he's going to do?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Phoebe, let's go," Cole said, trying not to let his panic show.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I think he's going to remember that it's a bad idea to do something stupid," Angel replied. "And that not all his promises are worth keeping."

[demonbelthazor]

"You don't get to decide which ones," Cole snapped.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"All I'm saying is think about it."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe squeezes Cole's hand and leans into him.

"Cole doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do..." she said softly. "He keeps his word."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"He swore to remove my soul," Angel replied. "I think that's a promise he can break."

[sensethevisions]

"Your soul is something that you wish to keep within you?"

Phoebe is curious as she doesn't really know how the whole vampire with a soul thing works.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Let's say without it I'm not myself."

[demonbelthazor]

"He doesn't want it," Cole said. "He told me so himself. He'd rather die. He made me promise to get rid of it or kill him if they ever stuffed one in him again."


[OOC: And I scurry home from work, so Cole stands quietly and nervously/sullenly while Angel and Phoebe talk. ;) ]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe squeezes Cole's hand.

"I'm confused. Why would you make Cole promise to get rid of your soul if you want to keep it so badly?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I didn't. Angelus did."

[demonbelthazor]

"Exactly," Cole said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Might be worth asking yourself if he's worth keeping a promise to," Angel said to Cole. "Him, and others. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do."

[ooc: and I must crash]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was confused by this exchange, but she was more concerned about the fear and panic she was picking up from Cole. With a last, measuring look at Angel, she turned and led Cole from the room.
