Capture of the Heart
Chapter 4
Late evening
"Hi! Happy to see me back?" Cole teased her as he entered with something that strongly looked like a dinner for Phoebe.
"I'd prefer to see you rot in hell!" she snapped.
"Don't be so rude! I'm only here to bring you your dinner!"
"Wow! And are you going to feed me? Because I don't know how I should eat with my hands tied up!" she replied sarcastically.
"Now promise to be a good girl then I'll untie you, but no tricks!"
"I'm not hungry!" Phoebe looked at him with furious eyes. The first thing she was going to do when he untied her, was to teach him a lesson!
He sat the plate down, moved round her and untied her feet and hands. Freed, she immediately tried to attack Cole, but he was faster, grabbed her arm and blocked her.
"I said no tricks!" he repeated angrily
"What do you expect, demon? That I'm friendly and nice to you and thank you for kidnapping me?"
"Sounds like a good opinion, doesn't it? I mean, you could be kept a lot worse and remember, you're still alive!"
"I'm alive because you need me to! Death I'm nothing worth anymore!"
"Oh there you are completely wrong, death you would be worth a lot more! And I would be the demon that killed the charmed ones, sounds nice, doesn't it? But keep in mind, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago, but that doesn't mean I can't catch up on it later, so behave!" he commanded.
Then Cole winked with his arm and a bed appeared in the room.
"You'll need the rest!" with these words he left her, slamming the door behind him.
Phoebe was stunned and suddenly she noticed that she do was hungry and tired. So she did just that, she ate and then went to bed.
The next morning, as Phoebe woke up, she didn't know where she was, but then she remembered, she was captured by some damn demon.
She got up and headed straight for the door, and it wasn't locked!
"Stupid demon" she thought "He must think that I'm so stupid that I wouldn't even notice that that door isn't locked or he is very very self-confident!"
Phoebe left 'her' room, and was surprised to see herself in a tidy and nice flat. She entered several rooms, among them a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room and then a study.
She got curious and entered. In the middle of the room was a desk with a lot of paperwork and a lot of maps from every place you can imagine, from the world, the underworld, 'up-there' and several other planes. Phoebe sat down, studied the maps and tried to find out where she was, but she found no indication.
A few minutes late, she gave up, took a file and started to read.
"1st: Capture a soul – To capture a soul, you need a lot of power and strength. You also need the incantation from the grimoire and a crystal ball, which will be the prison of the soul, from where it can't escape. Further you need to write a spell specific for the soul, in which contains the destiny of the soul once it is in the crystal ball. A soul-capture is something very special, so it changes from demon to demon, and the souls can hardly ever be freed again.
2nd: Find a soul – A captured soul can hardly ever be found. You need to know where it is, who captured it and how it was captured. The soul can't be summoned because it can't escape from its prison. Often demons hide their captured souls in a very special place only they know, or which is strongly protected, because a soul is a great treasure.
3rd: Free a soul – To free a soul, you must first find it and …"
"What are you doing here?" a very angry voice asked.
