I lay on my bed, crying. I heard a knock on the door, and Piper came in. "Can we talk?" she asked.
"Sure," I said. I sat up and she sat down on my bed. "If this is about Robbie..."
"This isn't about Robbie, at least not really," she said.
"Then what is it about?" I asked.
She smiled and brushed my cheek-bone-length bangs out of my eyes. "You look exactly like her, ya know?" She said through tears. "You have her hair, and her eyes."
"I wish I had gotten the chance to know her," I said, almost starting to cry myself.
"I know you do, sweetie," she said. "I know you do."
"I still have memories, like of her singing to me," I said, "Or of her rocking my cradle or holding me."
"She had that effect on people; you couldn't really forget her, not even if you tried," she cleared her throat. "I don't want you to get hurt, Payton. Having you here is like having Prue back and I don't want to lose that. I loved my sister so much and it's a miracle that you came back to us. Your power is even like hers, it's like you can telekinetically hold people off. It's actually kind of strange," she said.
"I won't get hurt, I will be fine. I just...I can't help it if Robbie is...a vampire. That doesn't change my love for him," I told her.
"Maybe you should try to find someone else," Piper suggested.
"I can't do that," I said. "I won't do that."

After Piper left, Robbie appeared in my room. I was startled when I turned around and saw him there. "Robbie, you scared me!"
"I'm sorry," he said. "Listen, I don't have very long."
"What's going on?"
"He knows, I have to leave for awhile. I will be back I promise."
"Who knows? Leave where?"
"I can't tell you, it will only put you in danger. I love you," he said. Then he disappeared.
