Late Monday Night - Selkie Cove
After she finally left Caritas, Phoebe hadn't wanted to go back to the dorms. The idea that Cole may not come back to their rooms tonight was something that she really was not ready to face.
So, in a brilliant design of Dealing Through Avoidance, Phoebe found herself in the one place that she was always drawn to when she was upset or needed to think.
Selkie Cove.
Instead of climbing up on the rocks, she sat down on the sand near the water. She pulled her knees up to rest her chin on them and stared out over the water. She listened to the waves and watched the stars reflect on the ocean.
Ellen was right. She had screwed up but good. Not only would she not be surprised if Cole never talked to her again... she would deserve it if he wanted nothing to do with her after this. When she had agreed to find someone to cast the spell, it had never entered her thoughts that she was messing with Cole's mind --- or that what she was doing was no better than what others had done to him in the Underworld.
She felt guilty and very sick to her stomach. The look on his face when she had told him what she had done... and the emotions she had picked up from him...
It made no difference that she hadn't been the one to actually cast the spell. She had helped to set it up and she had betrayed him in the worst way possible.
And this time... she didn't even have the excuse that she had been possessed to fall back on.
