Future vs Past

"This is a bad idea" I voiced my thoughts, watching Chris and Piper.

I didn't ask how he got it (as I knew he was going to avoid answering me as of lately) but he had a Valkyrie's necklace. Those were hard to get by and I didn't want to imagine what he did for it

"Easy, Bree" Chris soothed, giving me a reassuring look, "She's gonna be okay"

My hand went to my necklace, rubbing it slightly between my fingers in a soothing motion to myself, "That's not what I meant"

Even if Piper's memory was wiped, there was still surrounding her a small pang of heartbreak. It prickled the back of my head, making me remember she still missed Leo even if he did something to her so she wouldn't dwell on it. 

Piper looked between us, "You two bicker like siblings"

I rolled my eyes sighing. "Don't remind me"

Chris gave me a look before turning to Piper, placing the Valkyrie's necklace around her neck "Just remember everything I told you and you'll be fine, okay?"

The necklace glowed turning Piper into a Valkyrie making me grimace at the revealing clothing she now wore. 

Phoebe and Paige orbed in

"Okay, we got the..." Phoebe trailed off, seeing her sister, eyes widening "Oh my god, what did you do to Piper?"

"A stupid idea Chris cooked" I perked up from where i was sitting with my legs crossed in an indian position at the feet of the coach, Oscar still with me, sleeping with his head on my lap. "She is a Valkyrie now"

"I convinced her she's one too, actually" Chris added, giving me a look "Not a bad idea and it wasn't that hard really, considering the fact that her mind is basically a blank"

"I kinda agree" Paige pointed at me "But why?"

"Because you might need the power of three to get Leo out of Valhalla" Chris replied "And this is the only way you'll get her in Valhalla"

Phoebe tilted her head aside "Well, if Piper ever gets her memory back, she's gonna kill you"

"Why?" Chris asked

"Because she hates wearing those costumes as much as we do" Phoebe answered 

Paige agreed "Mm-hmm"

Chris grimaced sarcastically "Yeah, well, in that case, you're gonna kill me too" He said holding up two more Valkyrie necklaces. 

Paige's eyes widened

"This is bound to backfire" I murmured, scratching Oscar's head "Since when something in this family goes out as planned on the first try?"

 I was petting Oscar when I halted in my place, breath hitching in my throat, hand gripping my silver necklace tightly -the one who anchored me to my human side (gift from one of my aunts)- as a numbing feeling creeped upon me. 

Oscar whined, licking my hands tryng to bring me back, barking. My hand flew to my chest. "Chris!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes "Chris!"

Chris orbed to my side immediately, kneeling down in front of me worriedly, "God, Parker. What's wrong?" he held me close, arms around my shoulders

"Piper" I gasped out. "Her heart's breaking. I am losing her emotionally"

Chris grabbed the sides of my face, bringing up my face to meet his, "Breath, PB. Detach yourself. Do it" he instructed, "You've been taught this. If they fall, you cannot fall with them. What did your parents teach you? Keep a limit. This is it"
