"Let me go, demon!" Pandora screamed, pulling and tugging every which way she could to free herself.

Collin morphed back to normal and put one hand over her mouth. "Shhh, please! I won't hurt you, Pandora. Let me explain."

She bit his hand and he dropped her, cursing in anger and pain. "Who are you?" she demanded, backing away."

"I-I didn't want you to find out like that. I . . . I've been lying to you-"

"No shit!" Pandora snapped. "What are you, Collin? If that's your real name!"

"It is. I-it's my name. My human name. But I lied about my last name. It's Turner. Collin Turner."

"Turner?" Pandora asked. Her eyes widened in horrified understanding. "You're Cole's son, aren't you!"

Collin grinned sheepishly. "Guilty." At Pandora's horrified expression, the grin fell from his face. "I'm not going to hurt you. If I was, wouldn't I have already?"

"Who knows? My mom knew Cole for almost a year before she found out who he was and-"

"And he never actually hurt her," Collin interrupted. "Look, I'm not going to defend my dad and argue in his favor because I will admit, he was a jackass. But I'm nothing like him. The only things we have in common are DNA and the half-human/half demon thing."

"But you're still related to him. From the moment I told you my name, you knew who I was. You knew I was a Charmed One. How do I know you haven't been using me this whole time?" Pandora asked, pain in her eyes. Her anger and sadness mingled together and it was obvious she was fighting back tears.

"You don't," Collin replied, shrugging. "You have to trust what's in your heart."

Pandora looked away from him. She thought it over a minute then looked back at him. "Leave. Before I call my cousin's to help vanquish you."

Collin shrugged again. "Fine. I'm a call away if you change your mind." He shimmered out of the room.

Unable to suppress her tears any longer, Pandora collapsed on her bed and began to sob into her pillow. She felt betrayed and used. She loved Collin and now . . . now she didn't know how she felt.

Someone knocked on her door. She quickly silenced her tears.

"Pandora?" It was Payton.

"Not now, Payton. C-Collin and I are busy," Pandora called nervously.

"It's important," Payton replied, starting to open the door.

Pandora jumped from her bed and ran to the bedroom door, pushing it closed again.

"Pandora!" Payton cried.

"Sorry, cuz. But unless you want to see Collin nude-"

"No," Payton interrupted. "It can wait; trust me. Go back to . . . whatever it is you were doing."

Pandora didn't relax until she could no longer hear Payton's footsteps. Sighing, she turned around and gasped.

Collin stood before her. "I heard my name. I was hoping you had maybe changed your mind."

"No," Pandora snapped. "Payton almost came in here. If she had, she would have wondered where you'd gone. So I told her you were naked."

Collin grinned. "Nice excuse. Is it a hint?"

"No," Pandora spat angrily. "I don't do demons."

"And which definition of 'do' is that supposed to be?" Collin inquired curiously, a mischievous look in his eyes.

Disgusted, Pandora rolled her eyes and shook her head. "You disgust me."

"Hey, it wasn't me who came up with that excuse, sweetie," Collin retorted.

"Well, what else was I supposed to say? 'Oh, gee Payton, you just missed him shimmer out?' I don't think so," Pandora snapped.

Collin smirked. "Why not? If you want me gone, all you need to do is tell your cousins and vanquish me with their help. Unless you still care about me."

Pandora opened her mouth to argue, but realized – though she hated to admit it – that he was right. Despite him being a demon and the son of her mother's ex husband, she still cared about him. As much as she hated to admit it, she still wanted to be with him.

"I knew it," Collin said smugly, smiling.

"Shut up before I change my mind and tell them," Pandora snapped, moving closer to him.

"What changed your mind in the first place?" Collin asked.

Pandora stepped closer again, staring into his eyes. "I remembered everything we'd been through since day one. I thought about all those time you could have killed me and you didn't. I listened to my heart and it told me what to do." She took the last few steps to reach him, embraced him, and stared into his eyes. "If you do try to hurt my loved ones, I will vanquish you."

Collin smiled. "No worries."

They kissed.

"So, now what do we do? You know who I am now and we've just made up," Collin said, smiling at her as he held her.

Pandora smirked, pushing him backwards and onto the bed. She fell on top of him.

"Now? Now you get naked."
