"I'll be at Robbie's, I'm going to tell him I'm a witch," I said as I was getting ready to leave.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked.
"If I don't do it now, I never will," I told him.
"Okay, well if there's any trouble just call my name and I'll bring you back here."
"I hope I don't have to."
"So do I," he said.
I arrived at his house and knocked on the door. When he answered, I said, "We need to talk." He let me inside, and I nervously sat down on the couch.
"Look, I have something to tell you. This isn't going to be easy, and I don't know if you'll like it," I said.
"You can tell me anything."
"The short story is this: I'm a witch, Robbie. A good witch, but...still a witch. I hope you can accept that...... and I hope that you still want to be with me."
"I know," he said.
"You know what?"
"I know that you're a witch."
"How did you know that?" I asked. "What are you?"
He sighed, and moved towards the door to lock it. "I'm supposed to kill you."
"What?" I cried.
"It's a long story," he came toward me, showing bloodthirsty fangs in his mouth.
Oh my God, he's a vampire, I thought. I put my hand up to shield him from me and screamed, "Leo!"
Leo orbed in, and I said, "Get me out of here."

"What happened?" Paige asked.
"I don't want to talk about it," I said, crying.
We were all sitting in the attic on the floor.
"Robbie was-is-a vampire," Leo said for me.
"Well, then we need to look in the Book of Shadows for a vanquishing spell," Paige said, moving toward the book.
"No, don't you dare!" I grabbed the book before she could.
"Payton, what is your problem?" Paige said. "The guy is evil, he needs to be killed."
"You are not vanquishing my boyfriend," I cried through tears.
"But..."
"Paige, lay off," Phoebe said coming to me and putting an arm around me.
"What? I don't understand," Paige started.
"That's exactly it. You don't understand what its like to love someone who's from the dark side."
Just then, Robbie appeared behind Paige. "Payton, we need to talk."
Piper put her hands up to blow him up, but I said, "Piper, don't."
"You have two seconds, and then I'm blowing you up," Piper said.
"I need to talk to her alone."
"No," Piper said.
"It's okay; if he tries anything I will hold him off and call for Leo."

Robbie and I stood in the kitchen. I was leaning against the counter, and he was standing in front of me.
"Payton, I am so sorry," Robbie started.
"How could you do this to me?" I asked. "I thought you loved me."
"Payton, I do love you," he said. "I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I mean..." he moved forward to put his arms around me because I had started to cry.
"Don't," I told him, "don't make me fall any deeper. It's only going to hurt when this ends."
"But, Payton, it doesn't have to end. I'm not going to kill you, and I wont let any one else kill you either."
"I love you, Robbie. Why couldn't you just tell me? I could have helped you," I said. He put his arms around me, letting me cry on his shoulder.
"I couldn't put you in danger of knowing because; lets face it the less you know the better. I couldn't risk him finding out..."
"You couldn't risk who finding out?" I asked, pulling away from him.
He took my hand, "Never mind that, but my plan was to tell you everything and let him believe you were dead, then while you were 'dead' you could sneak attack him. But then you freaked out, so...I couldn't carry my plan out."
"I'm sorry. I was scared," I said.
"I know. I'm sorry."
I heard my aunts and uncle coming down the steps. "They're not going to understand," I said.
"I know," he answered.
"What are we going to do?"
"I don't know," he said. "I'll call you."
"I'll be at Robbie's, I'm going to tell him I'm a witch," I said as I was getting ready to leave.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked.
"If I don't do it now, I never will," I told him.

"I hope I don't have to."
"So do I," he said.
