Future vs Past

- Past Time -

"Now!"

A swirl of blue lights surrounded a redhead woman two vials of colored liquids as she closed her eyes. Once the lights were gone the woman disappeared just to appear again immediately with the lights appearing again.

I looked at the space in front of her as a woman wearing greek clothes appeared.

The redhead threw a potion toward her but it didn't work.

The woman raised her hand making the other woman in the room fly against a wall.

"Chris!"

Chris immediately orbed to the woman's side at my call, leaning in front of her

"Don't look into her eyes!" Chris hushed, throwing a potion to the Greek but looking away but didn't work either. The woman as well as me obeyed him, turning around.

I sighed once the greek woman left, my eyes finding the redhead in slight sorrow

Chris helped her up "Are you alright?"

The woman stared at Chris warily before her eyes settled on her sister

"Oh, my god Paige!"

I grimaced, looking at the statue of her sister "Yeah. That's a bit of an OMG reaction" I said crossing my arms.

~8~

Phoebe Halliwell stared at the statue of her sister while me and Chris stood a few feet away.

"Don't worry" Chris reassured her. "She's alright"

Phoebe turned around to face us incredulously

"Well, she's not exactly alright" I intercepted, giving Chris a look "But she's not dead"

"Are you sure she's not?" Phoebe looked between us frowning

I nodded reassuringly

"Frankly, you see this a lot." Chris explained "Museums, universities, town centres..."

"Most of those statues, are not really statues" I added, pointing at Paige "They're people like your sister here who have been, uh, turned into stone"

Phoebe looked between us, frowning in distrust "Who are you?"

"Chris. Chris Perry" Chris answered before pointing at me "She's Bree Martin. We're from the future"

I waved at Phoebe as another woman, Phoebe's sister walked in.

She stopped seeing the statue of her sister and her eyes widened

"Oh! My god, tell me that's just a really good likeness of Paige" She demanded

Phoebe waved a hand, casually "Oh, it's Paige"

"Titan turned her to stone" Chris explained

That's when Phoebe's sister realized our presence

"Who-who are you?"

"That's Chris and the girl is Bree" Phoebe looked at her sister "They're from the future"

"Yeah, but just like twenty years or so" I waved a hand slightly, shrugging

"Uh-huh" Phoebe's sister hummed thoughtfully. "Friends or foes?"

Phoebe eyed us critically "Not so sure yet"

Chris huffed incredulously "What do you mean? I saved Paige, didn't I?"

Phoebe pointed at the statue, raising her eyebrows "Oh, you call that saving, do you?"

"Told you they weren't gonna trust us so easily" I smirked at Chris.
