[East Attic -- locked to Belthazor and Phoebe and any roommates who might show up]

[demonbelthazor]

Phoebe was back. And she'd agreed to see him. Belthazor shimmered upstairs to the East Attic, appearing outside the door. His heart was racing. He didn't know why he was doing this. He'd decided his necessary course of action last night -- get rid of the soul, and the pain and confusion would all stop. No more human weakness to hinder him. But still she called to him like a Siren. He had to see her or he'd go crazy. But what the hell was he going to say?

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"I'm not my friends and I fell in love with you."

[demonbelthazor]

Part of him had hoped that even knowing what he was she would still love him; part of him feared it. "You...you can love this?" He shifted into his demonic form.

Phoebe lets out a yelp and she falls off the bed. She gets to her knees and just stares at him in shock and a little fear.

"I didn't know vampires could look like that."

[demonbelthazor]

He realized he'd made a mistake. She hadn't seen what he looked like in demon form. Fuck. He quickly shifted back to his human form. "I'm not a vampire," he said. "I...thought you knew. Your friends made a tape and they played it all over the internet to try to humiliate me...."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe got slowly to her feet, her gaze still fixed on him. "I didn't see the tape. I'm not one to get involved with too much of the mud-slinging. Don't get me wrong, I want to win. But...it would have hurt too much to watch that tape."

She looked at him, leaning against the wall.

"What are you?"
