I followed Paige as she talked to someone over the phone while I had Oscar with a leash, walking with him with a smile

"Well, you're the agency. How could you not know they were leaving town?" Paige huffed "They abandoned their dog. That, that is animal cruelty, okay? No! I-I can't take care of the dog. I've got responsibilities, pressing ones too. And besides, I need to make a statement to my family. This is not helping here. Hello? Hello?" She paused realizing she got hung up, closing her phone and placing a hand in her head "What am I doing?"

Oscar barked. Something tingled in my head making me look down at him with a frown

"Okay, I've just got to trust the universe, things happen for a reason" Paige shook her head

"Just relax Paige" I told her with a friendly smile.

"I'm trying to" Paige said in frustration

The dogs around the neighborhood started barking.

I smiled in amusement "What is going on there?"

Paige shrugged

"Bad ass fight" A male voice said out of nowhere "That's what"

Paige and I looked around confused

"Who said that?" Paige asked "Was it you?" She turned to face me

I gave her a deapan look, "Do I sound like a guy?"

Paige grimaced with a shake of her head

"Whoa, wait" The voice talked again "You mean you two can hear me?" I froze, looking down at Oscar who was already staring at us "Well, hallelujah, it's about time"

"Please don't tell me you're talking to us" Paige said staring at Oscar

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed excitedly

"Are you kidding?" Oscar told us "I've been trying to get your attention for two days now" he looked at me, "At least someone sensed something but didn't know what exactly" I smiled sheepishly "I'm in serious trouble here"

"This is so cool. That's why I could read you" I realized "I can't with animals"

"Maybe, maybe my powers are just advancing" Paige spoke to herself, not as open I was. I knelt in front of Oscar, this time trying to read him now that I knew I could "Maybe I can understand animals now"

"Oh, please, give me a break" Oscar shook his head "Until you accepted that there might be a reason you got this job, you weren't gonna be open to helping me"

"I would have" I said about to scratch his head but stopped awkwardly

"Help you do what?" Paige asked

"Reverse an evil witch's curse and make me human again" Oscar answered but pushing my hand up to his head, "Don't be shy now" I could sworn he smirked "If I'm evil too, it won't work, you know that. What have you got to lose?"

I looked up at Paige "Yeah, Paige. Let's do this. This is already a weird day"

Paige sighed, "Okay. Here we go. Uh, Give me your hand" I stood up and grabbed her hand. "Repeat after me. 'I call upon the Halliwells.."

I interrupted her, slightly wide eyed "Uh, Paige.. I'm not a Halliwell. It won't work" Oscar barked something that clearly sounded like a scoff. I slowly looked down at him only for him to give me a knowing look.

My eyes widened. Crap

Oscar had been there all this time whenever Chris and I were alone. He knew everything.

Paige frowned, "I'll just channel you so the spell works better" she reassured. I nodded hesitantly, looking up at her nervously "I call upon the Halliwells, I call our powers to undo this spell, make right again that we must, reverse the curse that made this mutt."

I repeated the spell, slightly reluctant feeling the rush of magic flowing through our veins making me feel somewhat of a familiarity making me smile slightly again but nervous as to what this could mean.

It had been a while since I used magic with my family like this.

It felt good.

The spell worked, turning Oscar into a tall, good looking man.

I averted my eyes elsewhere as Paige stared at him and then at my hand with a frown, in her eyes sparkled some kind familiarity similar to mine though she seemed to be confused as to why, not like me. I knew exactly why 

"That's better" Oscar said with a grateful smile "Thanks"

"Alright, don't mention it" I smiled up at him

"As long as you don't hump my leg anymore we'll be cool" Paige told him

I stiffled a laugh, remembering all the times he did so as a dog the last two days

Oscar smiled sheepishly "Yeah, sorry, it's just what dogs do when they like someone"

I flickered my eyes up, heartbeat speeding up suddenly sensing the attraction toward Paige. It made me take a step backwards as if the motion was going to stop me from practically broadcasting his sexual attraction

Something else I was annoyingly able to read upon people.

"Oh, that's very sweet" Paige told him, giving me an odd look at my reaction. I gave her a nervous smile, glancing at Oscar who was smiling knowingly

"So, why did an evil witch turn you into man's best friend, anyway?" I asked, clearing my throat

"Well, it's kind of complicated" Oscar shrugged "Let's just say there's a million reasons. But let me help you. All those dogs out there? They're barking because there's some serious magic in the air. The kind of magic you might be looking for" he pointed around

Paige and I exchanged a look.

~8~

We now knew how to find Piper.

I offered to go after Phoebe, having an  idea of what she was doing as soon as I reached her office.

My heartbeat raised, feeling sweat building up around my forehead and a sudden wave of heat washed over me

"Oh, God. Please don't..." I said in disgust, fanning my face as I knocked at her door.

This was the kind of sexual attraction I hated the most. The one mom warned me about and why my dad spent years on training me to control what I let in and what I broadcasted so I wouldn't face this kind of situations.

Sadly, these past few days I was struggling to do so.

As soon as Phoebe opened the door, the sexual tension coming from the man behind her hit me hard, making me stumble back slightly. I noticed Phoebe had her short hair messed up and the bottoms of shirt weren't all they way up and their clothes were wrinkled

It took me a second for putting two and two and glaring at Phoebe in disgust.

"Hi" I crossed my arms, fighting back the broadcasting of their emotions. Unlike Phoebe who didn't seem to be doing a good job and all the sexual tension from the man was also in Phoebe making me sense both of them 

Phoebe seemed sheepish, "Hi"

"Excuse us" I gave the man, Jason a look. I turned to Phoebe "You got a minute?"

Phoebe answered quickly "Yeah"

I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from her office to the main one, giving her a look

"What is the matter with you?" I asked "Weren't you supposed to be..."

"Okay, you don't have to yell at me because I can sense how mad you are and disgusted" Phoebe interrupted. "Which makes no sense, maybe cause you're a minor but still..." She shrugged

I bit my tongue, refraining myself of saying what was exactly on my head. It wouldn't be pretty and I promised Chris I wouldn't say more about me and my relation to them

"Okay, just because you can sense doesn't mean I can't vent" I told her, grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the office

"Where are we going right now?" Phoebe asked me

I looked at her over my shoulder. "To find Piper"

Phoebe looked surprised "Do you know where she is?"

I grinned "Yeah, a little doggy told me and Paige"

~8~

I lead Phoebe to Paige (walking obviously. I wasn't revealing I could actually teleport like they did)

And Paige orbed the three of us where Oscar had told us Piper could be

We orbed just inside of a mechanic shop, witnessing Valkyries fighting the warriors.

We saw Piper fighting one but using the Valkyries' powers. Oh, this was not good.

"Ooh, way to go Piper!" Phoebe cheered. Paige hit her arm. I gave her a look "What? She's good"

Piper knocked down a warrior looking up and noticing us here "I'll take care of them" she informed the other Valkyries before starting to walk towards us

"Reverse the spell!" Phoebe  exclaimed "Reverse the spell!"

"Alright. Uh, "Spell was cast, now make it pass, remove it now, don't ask me how." Paige chanted the spell

Piper waved her arm making Paige fly across the room

"What kind of spell was that, Paige!" I exclaimed incredulously

Piper turned to face me and I immediately put up my magical shield around me. Piper waved her hand toward me, hitting my shield and making me stumble backwards but my shield stayed up fortunately

Phoebe looked at her sister, giving me a worried look, "Piper, I know why you'd rather be one of them. It's because you don't wanna feel pain" she told her as Piper walked closer to her, forgetting me. For once I wasn't dissapointed. Today I felt like being ignored by my own aunt seemed like a blessing. She threw a strong punch. "But you have to feel the pain because if you can't feel the pain, then you can't feel the good stuff either, you know? Right?"

Piper kicked Phoebe making her land on the floor.

"Oh, and that was so much better" Paige groaned sarcastically.

I looked at them wide eyed.

Okay. I wasn't expecting the Charmed Ones fall down that easily. I expected being me the first one on the floor.

A car screeched outside.

"Freeze!" Darryl ran inside wielding a gun "Drop your weapons!"

The warriors and Valkyries stopped fighting.

One of the warriors pulled out a dagger.

"Darryl!" I screamed in worry as the warrior threw the dagger at Darryl.

"Piper!" Phoebe exclaimed

Piper freezed the dagger just in time. Darryl turned around, looking at the dagger.

One of the Valkyries opened a portal, "Now do you believe me? Go, get in" The warrior grabbed the dagger out of mid-air. They all stepped into the portal. "Piper, let's go"

The rest of the Valkyries walked into the portal.

I threw down my shield, seeing Piper hesitate.

"Piper, don't go" Paige called out to her

"Hurry" A Valkyrie called out to her

"Please" Phoebe looked up at her sister

Piper didn't wait longer before she rushed to the portal, stepping inside with the other Valkyrie.

~8~

We were now at the manor.

Leo and Chris were with us as well as Darryl.

"There's gotta be a way to get Piper out of there" I told them. "I know it"

"Well, unfortunately the reversal spell as you so kindly pointed out didn't exactly help Piper remember who she was" Paige told me.

I shrugged at her

"What do the Elders think?" Phoebe asked

"They think it had to be a demon who stuck Leo in Valhalla" Chris answered

I raised a brow

"But they're not sure" Leo added

"Still, it's their leading theory" Chris pointed out

I looked away

"Guys" Paige called out "This is about Piper"

"Actually, the Elders believe that your new power is key to helping save Piper" Leo turned to Phoebe

"My new power?" Phoebe repeated. "How do they figure? All it's done is make things worse"

"There's a reason you received it." Leo told her "They... We believe it's to help save Piper. So what exactly did you feel the last time from her?"

We looked at Phoebe curiously

"Not much" Phoebe answered

"You said you felt something familiar, little things" Paige pointed out

"Heartbreak" I told them 

Phoebe looked at me. I pursed my lips. "Yeah... And obviously I felt pain. And desire.... To help"

"Well, she helped Darryl and that wasn't with her Valkyrie powers that was with her Charmed powers" Paige noted

"The witch within must still be alive" Chris told us

"And that's how you're gonna reach her" Leo told Phoebe

"Yeah, but how?" Phoebe asked "I mean, just because I can feel some glimmer of Piper's feelings doesn't mean she can. She's completely cut off from them"

Chris looked up "Wait-wait-wait, hold it. Isn't there a spell in the book that allows somebody to feel what you feel?" He looked around "Which in this case will be Piper feeling what you're feeling Piper should be feeling. Did that make sense?"

I scrunched my nose but I actually understood "Um, frighteningly it did"

"What about that spell I used on Cole last year?" Paige asked. I frowned at the name, pursing my lips for being the first time in years since I heard mention of him. "The one to make him sense whether or not you loved him. I could reword it for Piper"

Phoebe thought about it "Actually, that's worth a shot"

"Problem is you still have to get close to her to try it and that's not gonna be easy" I told her

"Yeah, especially with Piper's powers" Paige agreed

"Maybe I could orb you" Leo suggested

"No, Leo" Phoebe shot down the idea immediately "You're the reason she's in this emotional cocoon, you need to stay far away from her. No offence"

Leo sighed in understanding

"Well, then the question is how do we get close enough to her without her kicking our butts?" Paige asked

"I can use my new power to counteract hers" Phoebe suggested

I looked up, exchanging a knowing look with Chris

"How do you figure?" Chris asked her

"Well, our powers are emotion based, right?" Phoebe asked. We nodded in agreement "If I can channel Piper's feelings, why can't I channel her powers and then use them against her?"

I smiled proudly.

Go, mom.

~8~

Phoebe and Paige went to Valhalla to get Piper.

I didn't want to go. As much I'd love to see Phoebe in action, I didn't want to potentially reveal who I am to her. I couldn't be around her, not until the blocking potion was done.

I found myself beaming where I sensed Oscar was.

He looked up "Bree" he said in surprise.

I looked at him seriously "Whatever your heard from me and Chris, you have to stay silent"

Oscar chuckled. "There's no need to come here personally to tell me that, Parker" I pursed my my lips at the sound of my first name "Your future is safe with me. You and your cousin have a big burden on your shoulders" he said softly. I looked away "I hope you can make it" he placed a hand in my shoulder.

I looked up gratefully "Thank you Oscar"

Oscar smiled, "No. Thank you Parker Halliwell"

And I knew with that Oscar was being genuine. He knew what was the reason of mine and Chris' goal in their present.

Save our family and the world.

And he was letting me do it by keeping my identity to himself.

A/N:

I liked this chapter for two reasons.

One. Bree's struggling with her half side's powers and it's fun to see her slightly struggling

Two. We finally hear Bree confirm who she's to Phoebe and whats her first name :)

Hope you like this chapter as well as I did. 

~*Peace and out,
