DarkPriestess66: Okay, this is Valhalleyof the Dolls, pt 1, so not mine, if it was, I would have been one of the sisters, I'm not about to start Sixth year until, I figure out who should be assigned to Killed Dumbledore..so let's have more Chris and Lynx chapters. Okay, it's August; it's still summer vacation for Alexis, and Lynx, well she has to send Alexis after demons while they're in school lol.
~~~Now on with the chapter!~~~
Alexis was at the A KQSF Beach Bash, also Phoebe was going to be interviewed on the radio. Smash Mouth is performing on a stage. A large crowd of people in swim wear are dancing along. The song ends and everyone cheers. Phoebe and Chad the DJ, are sitting under a canvas shade shelter holding microphones.
"Give it up for Smash Mouth! Let's hear it, come on! Hanging Chad coming back live at the KQSF annual Beach Bash. Winding it up with our special guest, the stunningly, beautiful, Phoebe Halliwell, the Ask Phoebe fame. Okay, so what's your deal? Are you psychic, is that it?" Chad states,
Alexis stares up at the stage waiting for Phoebe to speak, she was here a moral support plus they were having a sister bonding day,
"I'm sorry?" Phoebe asks
"I mean, you gotta be don't you? Your column has sky rocketed, all the critics rave about how amazingly insightful your advice is. How else do you explain it?" Chad asks
"I just think I read people really well." Phoebe answers,
"Oh, you do, do you? Can you read me?" Chad asks
The crowd cheers. Alexis the loudest of the all.
"I don't know, write a letter and we'll see." Phoebe replies,
"Come on, give it a shot." Chad urges
"Yeah!" the Crowd of fans and one sister agrees.
"You guys wanna see her do it, dontcha?" Chad asks
"Yeah!" the Crowd answers and they applaud.
"Oh, alright, alright. Ah, what do you want advice on?" Phoebe asks
"Okay, let's see. There's this woman that I like and I'd like to ask her out but I'm afraid she'll say no. What should I do?" Chad asks
Phoebe looks at Chad and thinks.
"Well, why don't you just ask me and find out?" Phoebe asks, she laughs.
The crowd applauses.
Meanwhile at the manor, in the attic, Lynx is curl up on the couch in her animal form watching, Chris lazily, Chris is standing back from the Book of Shadows' stand. He is chewing on a pen as he flips the pages with telekinetic powers. He stops at a page that reads Trok Demon and walks closer to the Book of Shadows. He takes the pen out of his mouth and writes something down on a notepad.
*What are you going to do if someone comes in here and see you using telekinesis?* Lynx asks though telepathy,
Chris glances at her, *Maybe one look at you, will change their minds.*
Lynx rolls her eyes, *Please, I can pretend to be a stuff animal, who knows what's in this attic.*
Suddenly, a portal opens up in the attic and a Valkyrie walks out of it.
"Hey, are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?" Chris asks
"Freya sent me. She wants to know what's taking so long." answers the Valkyrie
*Freya? You know, for a mythical character she sure does worry a lot.* Lynx states into the minds of both Chris and the Valkyrie,
"She's not the only one who's worried. He's an Elder, Chris. How much longer do you really expect us to keep him?" the Valkyrie replies, used to the cat creature being with Chris.
"Don't tell me he's complaining." Chris replies,
"Yes, a lot, actually." the Valkyrie states
"I don't believe it. Banish the guy to an island filled with beautiful women and he still complains. I can't win." Chris replies,
*Neither can I, and I gave you the flippin idea.* Lynx adds.
"How much longer?" asks the Valkyrie
"Until Lynx and I are ready. Look, I'm sorry but we haven't finished what we came here to do yet. And we need Leo out of the way until we can. More importantly, the sisters can't find him before we're ready or else..." Chris answers,
*or else our asses are grasses,* whispered lynx into Chris' mind only
"I know. We all understand the risks." Mist replies,
"I'd never hurt you, Mist." Chris states thenmoves closer to her. "You know that."
'Score one for the half-whitelighter who is knows the art of seduction. Even if I hate it.' Lynx thought as she turned her head away from the scene. 'Why do I have a crush of my blood-bound cousin?'
"You would if you had to. I know that too." Mist replies,
Piper callsfrom downstairs "Chris, Lynx, are you up there?"
"You better go." Chris states,
They kiss.
"Please..." Mist begins, asthe portal opens "Hurry."
Mist walks into the portal and it closes.
Lynx stood up and stretched, then transfigured back into herself, "So are you trying to get into her skirt or lack of skirt, is this part of the plan?"
"What I do in my spare time, is none of your concern." Chris replies,
"To hell it is, you could be shagging with one of your future teachers for all you know." Lynx replies. "I don't go around snogging every guy or girl, I see. And that Mist was hot."
Chris just stares at her. "Since when are you Bisexual?"
"I'm not, I'm just saying." Lynx replies, "My mom would skin me alive, if she thinks I'm shagging guys, hell you would skin me alive."
Piper walks in carrying a basket of laundry.
"Hey, do you have any laundry?" Piper asks
"Ahh..." Chris replies, he seems distracted, by Lynx telling to stop thinking about Mist, because he's not shielding his thoughts from her. "No. No. I'm good, thanks. I'm gonna get your sisters though. You have another demon to vanquish."
"I'm fine, I did my last night." Lynx replies sweetly,
"Okey-dokey." Piper replies, She leaves the room.
"We have got to get Piper back to herself, she's starting the scare me." Lynx states,
Back at the beach, Chad is pouring some juice into a cup at the refreshment table. Phoebe and Alexis walks up to him.
"Hi. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you back there." Phoebe apologizes,
"Hey, I'm just glad it was only on the radio." Chad replies,
"I don't know why I answered like that. It was..." Phoebe begins
"Dead on, that's what it was. It's exactly what I was feeling. Nervous about asking you out." Chad interrupts
"Really? You were? Well, then maybe I should ask you out and just take the pressure off. Oh!" Phoebe replies with a laugh "I just don't know what's the matter with me. It's gotta be the heat or something."
Chris orbs in behind a van nearby.
"Bayview Cafe, say 1:00?" Chad asks
"I'll be there." Phoebe agrees,
Chris comes out from behind the van and walks towards Phoebe, and Alexis.
"Phoebe. Alexis." Chris greets,
"Chris, what are you doing here?" Phoebe asks
"Um, listen, I gotta get back. Don't be late." Chad states.
"I won't be." Phoebe replies,
Chad walks away. Phoebe raises her eyebrows at Chris.
"Trok Demon, remember?" Chris asks
"Oh, Chris, get a life." Alexis replies,
"Come on." Chris states,
"Uff." Phoebe and Alexis groans. Chris orbs them to the manor then left again to get Paige.
In the foyer, Chris and Paige orb in with the five dogs.
"Alright, can we get this started because I have to go..." Phoebe states then she notices the dogs. "Where did they come from?"
"He wouldn't let me take them back first." Paige answers,
"Back?" Alexis asks
"Yeah, I'm a... dog walker. The temp agency messed up." Paige explains,
"Okay, do you guys mind? We have to summon the Trok Demon while he's still on our plane. Piper!" Chris replies
"Oh, Chris, lighten up. Sending us after all these demons is getting to be a real drag." Alexis states, "I have school coming up in the next few days, and if you think I can do both course work and vanquish demons, you're crazy."
"Yeah, you're working us like dogs." Paige agrees,
"I don't see Piper complaining." Chris states,
"No, because Piper doesn't complain about anything anymore. Ever since Leo left to become an Elder, all she does is walk around the house all... chipper." Phoebe replies
"So?" Chris asks
"So, it's unusual. What's worse, it's not Piper." Paige answers.
"Yeah, she normally scolds me about my uniforms having some type of fungus growing on them, from Herbology class." Alexis seconds,
Piper walks down the stairs carrying Wyatt. She's on the phone.
"I'd love to have a play date. Maybe we could call Jenny and she can bring baby Josie. And then I'll bring the juice and maybe bake some muffins and..." Piper states, then she sees the dogs. "Aww, how cute!" She walks into the kitchen.
"She's getting worse." Phoebe states,
"Definitely." Paige and Alexis agrees
"Do you have a spell?" Phoebe asksChris
"Right out of the book." Chris answers, he hands her a piece of paper. "After you summon him, make sure Piper freezes him. Otherwise you'll never get the spell off."
"Here, take these guys to the attic, they'll be fine there." Paige asks
"Wait, me?" Chris asks
"Lynx can watch them," Alexis states, "And tell her I said too."
"Yeah, you. Go." Paige agrees,She hands Chris the leads and the dogs pull him upstairs. Piper walks in all cheery. She's wearing an apron.
"Alrighty, are we ready?" Piper asks
"Alrighty." Paige answers,
"Phoebe, have I told you how much I love your new 'do. It's fabulous." Piper comments, Phoebe had cut her long locks off, and Alexis secretly thought she looked like a guy.
"Very chipper. Okay, let's do this. You take this." Phoebe hands Paige the spell. Piper grins. Phoebe closes her eyes and concentrates. Suddenly, a two-headed demon with one eye on each head appears. "Piper, freeze him." Piper blows off one of his heads. He whimpers. Piper giggles. "What did you do that for?"
"I don't know, I didn't mean to." Piper replies,
The Trok Demon roars and sends the girls flying across the room. They land on the floor. Alexis grabs the spell.
"From other worlds far and near, let's get him the Trok, out of here." Alexis chants, The Trok Demon bursts into flames and is vanquished. Piper smiles. "Is everybody okay?"
"Yeah, that was awesome." Piper replies,
Phoebe and Alexis rolls their eyes.
Alexis helps Paige walk into the living room with her hand against her shoulder. Chris and Lynx follows her in.
"What kind of Whitelighter can't heal?" Paige asks
"For the record, you can't heal either." Chris answers,
"I'm half-whitelighter. How come you didn't tell us about this before we hired you?" Paige asks
"Because you didn't hire me. I was assigned by the Elders." Chris answers
Phoebe walks in carrying a tube of cream.
"Any other little surprises you would like the share with us?" Alexis asks
*More then we're willing to share,* a voice replies in Alexis' mind, the voice almost sounded like lynx. She looks at Lynx, who barely nods.
"No." Chris answers;Phoebe sits down beside Paige, and Alexis. "Look, I haven't been a Whitelighter very long, okay? And healing, it's big, and takes a little while to learn how to do."
*True, you're only been a true whitelighter, little over two months. I seem to remember, you could barely orb when you were ten.* Lynx teases,
Phoebe dabs some cream on Paige's shoulder.
"Great. Student-lighter." Phoebecomments,
"Okay, you could've told us about this like, I don't know, maybe a month ago." Paige states,
"Well, I know one thing for sure, we're gonna stop all this demon fighting for a while." Alexis states,
"Wait, why?" Chris and Lynx asks
"Can somebody please fold the towels in the dryer when it's done?" Piper's voice asks from the kitchen,
"That's why." Alexis replies,
Piper walks in carrying Wyatt and her purse.
"I put a casserole in the oven; you can check it in about an hour or so. I will be at the club if you need me. Have fun!" Piper informs, She leaves.
"Oh my god, she is so sad." Phoebe states,
"Sad? Where are you getting sad from?" Paige asks
"Yeah, she looks anything but sad." Alexis seconds.
"How about this. Three more demons, then we can talk about taking a little break." Chris suggests.
"What, do you have a quota to fill or something?" Paige asks
"Look, I've already told you this before. I know from future knowledge that a demon is gonna come after Wyatt. These are all preempted strikes." Chris answers,
"Okay, look, Chris, we like you a lot. But we have been doing this a lot longer than you have. Trust me, you have to pace yourself and you gotta let us have a life." Phoebe states then looks at her watch. "Ooh, speaking of which, I have to go get ready for my lunch date." She stands up.
"Oh, I didn't know your boss was back in town." Paige states,
"No, it's not with Jason; it's with Chad, the DJ," Alexis replies, "I was there I saw it happen."
"who I'm not really interested in." Phoebe replies.
Two demons, how about that? Two." Chris replies,
*Chris, you are fighting a losing battle, even I'm tired and I haven't been vanquishing demons left and right.* Lynx's mind voice reasoned.
Chris glared at her, *I don't see you helping.*
*That's because I agree with the sisters, they need break. Plus we don't know if it is a demon that gets to Wyatt.* Lynx replies waspishly
"No, Chris. And especially not until we figure out what's wrong with Piper, and more importantly Piper's powers." Phoebe replies, noticing how silent Lynx was and she was staring intently at Chris.
"I swear, I think Leo did something to her before he left." Paige states,
"You know what? I think it's about time we orb him down here and ask him." Phoebe replies,
*Do something quick!* Lynx exclaims
"I don't think that's possible." Chris replies, ignoring his cousin's exclamation,
"Well, then make it possible. Look, even if he doesn't care about Piper as his wife, as an Elder he at the very least should care about what happened to her powers." Phoebe replies,
"I can't." Chris states.
"Yeah, you can. You just go up there and tell him to get his butt down here." Alexis replies,
"That's not why I can't. Look, I didn't wanna tell you this because I didn't want to worry you two but... Leo's missing." Chris explains,
"What?" Phoebe asks
"Missing? How long?" Paige asks
"Since the last time you saw him. Anyway, the Elders think he's been kidnapped." Chris replies,
"By whom?" Alexis asks
Chris didn't answer, and Alexis, Phoebe and Paige were worried.
"Maybe this will shock Piper out of whatever happened to her." Alexis suggests,
"We're going to P3." Phoebe agrees.
Alexis, Phoebe and Paige go to P3, and find the place a daycare.
"Hi, guys." Phoebe greets as they saw the Morris's
"Hey." Sheila replies,
"Hi." Darryl greets,
Phoebe looks at Sheila. "Whoa. What's the matter?"
"Sorry?" Sheila asks
"Something's bothering you, I can tell." Phoebe replies,
"Phoebe?" Paige and Alexis asks while looking at their sister
"What? Oh, sorry." Phoebe asks
"So, Piper's doing fine, huh?" Darryl questions,
"Yeah, but you don't think she is." Phoebe replies,
"Don't mind her she's just being a little annoying. Um, would you excuse us for a second?" Paige asks
"Yeah, sure." Sheila replies,
"Yeah." Darryl agrees,
"See you later." Sheila states, Darryl and her leave.
"What is going on with you?" Paige asks
"I don't know, it's weird. Lately I've just been feeling a lot of weird vibes, I don't know what it is." Phoebe answers,
"Vibes? Check it out, I can really, really only deal with one whacked out sister at a time." Alexis asks
"Ditto." adds Paige.
"Huh, got it." Phoebe replies,
"Piper?" Paige asks, they walk over to Piper. "Piper, you got a minute?"
"Uh, can't it wait?" Piper asks
"No, actually, it can't. It's about Leo." Phoebe states,
"Oh, did he call?" Piper asks
"Not exactly." Paige replies,
"There's no easy way to break this to you so I'm just going to come out and say it. Leo's missing. We just found out that the Elders haven't heard from him since he left us to join them." Alexis explains,
"Wow." Piper replies,
"So did he happen to say anything to you the last time you saw him that could potentially help?" Phoebe asks
"No. All I remember him saying is that he was leaving to become an Elder and I wished him good luck." Piper replies,
"That's it? That was your big goodbye?" Alexis asks
"Yeah, as far as I can remember. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, he'll turn up sooner or later. Excuse me." Piper replies, she turns back to the babies.
"So much for that shocking her back into reality, huh?" Paige asks
"Unfortunately, I think only Leo can do that." Phoebe replies.
"So what are going to do, while Piper's playing Super Nanny?" Alexis asks.
"We work on this ourselves. Maybe we can get Future boy and girl to help out." Phoebe replies,
Back at the manor, in the Conservatory Chris and Lynx are having a silent conversation while looking out the window. Paige is scrying for Leo on three maps - a map of San Francisco, the world, and the solar system. Alexis walks in.
"Where exactly are you trying to find Leo? Jupiter?" Alexis asks
"Well, when an Elder gets kidnapped, they're probably not gonna just take him to Chinatown, right? I think everything is game, even the cosmos." Paige replies,
"Still, I don't see how the crystal's gonna find him. Especially not without something of his to focus it better." Alexis states,
Paige picks up one of Leo's shirts. "I've got one of his plaid shirts."
Phoebe walks in.
"I was thinking something a little more special than that." Alexis states,
"Leo loved those shirts. His entire closet's full of them." Paige replies,
"Well I love Care of Magical Creatures but I don't have a collection of odd creatures." Alexis pointed out.
Phoebe turns to Chris and Lynx
"What's your problem?" Phoebe asks
they turn around.
"Huh?" Chris asks
"You're nervous, I can feel it." Phoebe replies, "Both of you really,"
"Hm, watch your vibes." Paige warns,
Phoebe walks over to Chris and Lynx
"I just think you guys should be focusing on helping Piper, not Leo." Chris explains,
"Me too," Lynx adds *We need an Empathy blocking potion or else our covers will be blown to pieces. Well mine will be to the others*
*I agree.* Chris replies,
"Ha, I was right." Phoebe states
"Hey, finding Leo could help us with Piper." Paige suggests.
"Well, then you better find another way because you are not gonna find him." Lynx replies, every one stares at her in awkward silence. "I mean, you haven't found him yet have you? I'm telling you, you've just got to leave it up to the Elders, alright? Just let it go."
"Let it go? He's Wyatt's father." Paige asks
"And our brother-in-law." Phoebe adds
"Ex-brother-in-law. Look, I'm just trying to get you two to focus on your sister here. That's all. Because with her powers messed up, you guys are all at risk." Chris replies
"He's right." Paige agrees
"I know. But if Leo did do something to block Piper's pain, how do we unblock it without him?" Phoebe asks
Paige gets an idea. "A magical laxative."
"Okay, eww." Alexis replies,
"But think about it. If we can write a spell to help her remember her pain, I don't know, it could even help us find Leo." Paige explains, Phoebe picks up the phone and dials a number. "Who are you calling? Spells-R-Us?"
"No, I'm calling the Bayview Cafe. I'm gonna cancel my lunch date with Chad, which I'm already late for." Phoebe answers.
"Bayview Cafe."
"Hi, can I speak to Chad Carson please? I was supposed to meet him for..." Phoebe asks
"Yes, he couldn't make it." the voice on the other end interrupts.
"What?" Phoebe asks
"He called and he canceled."
"He canceled?" Phoebe asks
"Yes."
"Wait, are you sure? 'Cause he didn't even call..." Phoebe states
"He told us to let you know that he's very sorry."
Phoebe hangs up.
"Huh! He stood me up." Phoebe exclaims
"Wait, weren't you just calling to cancel on him?" Lynx asks confused.
"Yeah, but I called him. That's canceling. He called the restaurant. That's standing up." Phoebe answers,
Paige nods in agreement.
Lynx's mouth formed the silent "oh."
"This doesn't make any sense, I don't understand. He liked me, he really liked me, I felt it." Phoebe states,
"Well, um, excuse me, it didn't seem like your heart was in it anyway." Paige replies, Phoebe puts down the phone and heads for the door. "Where are you going? We have a spell to write."
"And I have a DJ to grill." Phoebe replies, then leaves
Alexis watched as Phoebe left, "I'm starting to think she developed a new power."
"Really?" Paige asks
Alexis nods, "I'm going to check on that casserole, and fold towels." she left the room.
Paige goes up to the attic.
"Piper's home!" Chris exclaims,
"Coming!" Alexis. Lynx, and Paige replies both from the laundry room and the attic, respectfully
Chris is carrying a baby in a bassinet. Paige comes down the stairs. Alexis walks around the corner into the foyer
"Hey, who's that?" Paige asks
"Ask her." Chris replies,
Chris walks into the conservatory. Piper walks into the hallway.
"Hi, how's it going?" Piper asks
"How's it going? Uh, what are you doing?" Paige asks, Piper picks up another baby in a bassinet. "Who's babies are these?"
"Well, their mummies couldn't pick them up in time so I offered to bring them home for a while." Piper replies
"Oh, you did? Um, what about, you know, Leo?" Paige asks
"I don't know, what about him?" Piper answers, They walk into the conservatory where Wyatt and the other baby is in a playpen. "Look, Wyatt, look who's here. Another friend for you to play with."
Lynx notices Paige holding onto a piece of paper.
"Is that the memory spell?" asks Lynx, getting Chris' attention.
"Yeah." Paige replies,
Piper puts the second baby in the playpen. "And she can stay as long as she likes."
"Cast it." Chris and Lynx orders,
"Powers and emotions tide, a witch's heart is where it hides, help her through her agony, bless her with her memory." A white mist rises out of Piper. She stands up. "Piper? Are you okay?" Paige asks
Piper turns around.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Piper asks
Paige laughs. "Very funny."
Piper looks at Wyatt. "Aww, cute. Yours?"
"No, yours." Paige replies,
"Mine? What do you mean? Wait, who am I? What am I doing here?" Piper asks
"Great, Paige, you didn't restore her memory, you erased it." Chris states,
"That's impossible, it's a good spell, I know it. Unless it interacted badly with Leo's magic." Paige replies
A fly buzzes around Piper and she waves her arm around. She accidentally blows up a window. She gasps and the babies cry.
"What happened? How did that happen?" Piper asks
"Uh, it's okay, you're gonna be okay." Alexis replies, before glaring at Paige.
Chris walks over and puts Piper's arms down to her sides, "Just don't point at anything, okay? Just keep your hands down. Like this, okay?
"Can somebody please tell me what's going on." Piper states,
"We're gonna tell you that. Just as soon as we know ourselves." Paige replies, she takes Piper into the living room. "Okay, you come in here and you have a seat and, uh, take a load off. And, um, keep those arms down." She walks back into the conservatory. "Oh my goodness. Okay, don't freak out because magic got us into this and magic'll get us out." Wyatt cries loudly. Paige and Alexis looks over at him. Suddenly, the baby's pacifier orbs out of her mouth and orbs into Wyatt's mouth. "Did you see that?"
"See what?" Chris asks
"Wyatt. He orbed his pacifier." Alexis replies, her eyes wide in shock and surprise.
"What?" asks Lynx
"I think I know how to find Leo." Paige states
"Leo? Will you please forget about Leo." Chris replies,
Phoebe rushes in all excited into the living room, Piper jumps up.
"Piper! Hi! You're never gonna believe this. I think I have a new power. It would certainly explain a lot of my weird behavior lately like why I wanted to date Chad, why my advice has been so amazingly accurate. I know, this is huge, right? Huge. So what's my new power you ask? Well, I'll tell you. Um, do you remember that empath we helped a couple of years ago? That guy that could feel what other people were feeling?" Phoebe asks
Chris and Lynx walks in. "Uh, Phoebe..."
"Just a sec. I think that's what I am now. An empath. I am an empath. That's my new power. Or at least an advancement of my premonition power, I don't know." Phoebe continued
"Neither does she, I'm afraid. No that is, anything. Paige erased her memory." Chris explains,
"Can you blow things up to?" Piper asks
Phoebe laughs.
"Oh, boy. Paige!" Phoebe calls, She and Chris go into the conservatory where Paige is holding onto Wyatt while scrying. "What did you do to our sister? Oh, you poor dear. You feel awful about it, don't you? I'm so sorry."
"Thanks, I think." Paige replies
"That's it? That's all the ass kicking you're gonna go out? You're supposed to be sisters." Chris states,
"She's clearly devastated about this." Phoebe replies
"But you can't let her off the hook. You need enough guilt to get her to fix it." Chris states
Lynx stared at Chris, *This is your warning flag, stop now while you still have your balls, because Paige might orb them some place far far away.*
The crystal points to the Indian Ocean on the map.
"I think I just fixed it. I think we just found Leo." Paige states
"We?" Phoebe asks
Paige stands up.
"Yep, Wyatt and me. I mean, nothing's more important to Leo than him, right?" Paige asks, she puts Wyatt back in the playpen. "There you go, big boy. Let's go."
"Go? Go where? It's pointing to the middle of the Indian Ocean." Chris asks
"There must be something there, I trust Wyatt." Paige replies
"No, this is crazy." Chris states
"Chris, she's feeling really strongly about this." Phoebe replies, she stands beside Paige, Alexis, and Paige puts her arm around her. "I have a new power. I'll explain on the way."
Paige looks atto Chris "Oh, hey, can you take the dogs back for me? The addresses are in the book."
"No, there's no way." Chris answers, Paige orbs out with Phoebe, Alexis, Chris kicks one of Wyatt's toys across the room. Wyatt's force field appears around himself. "If anyone should be protecting themselves, it's me from you."
Lynx rolled her eyes, "Wyatt, honey, will you let down your shield for dear sweet Lynx,"
Wyatt's force field lowered, Lynx walked to him and picked him up, "Come on, Sweetie. Let's get something to eat for your new friends and yourself. I'll protect you from the neurotic whitelighter" *This might be why he wants me in his hands in our time? Don't you think?*
Chris just glared at her, wishing she stayed in their time. *Shut up.*
Somewhere on island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige are walking down a path in the rainforest.
"It's so beautiful here, it's like paradise. But why isn't it on the map?" Paige asks
"They obviously don't want anyone to know it exists. Like the island has some sort of magical camouflage or something." Phoebe replies,
"That's a hell of a lot of magic." Alexis comments, as she walked along the path.
"Over there." a male's voice states,
Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige hide in the bushes. Three men run down the path, past where they are hidden. Once gone, Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige come out of the bushes.
"That was close, I hope they're not looking for us." Paige states,Phoebe gets a vibe and pushes Paige on the ground. She rolls on top of Paige and pushes her elbow on Paige's throat. Alexis stands there watching in horror, "Are you out of your mind?" Phoebe gets out of her vibe and helps Paige stand up. Paige coughs. "I know you're upset about the memory spell, but this is ridiculous."
"I'm so sorry. I must have tapped into what they were feeling." Phoebe replies
"Okay, well let them kill me, not you. Let's go look for Leo." Paige states,
Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige walk in to the cave and look around.
"Anything?" Alexis asks
Leo races into the cage.
"Phoebe, Paige, Lexi," Leo greets,
"Leo! Oh my god." Phoebe replies,
"Leo!" Alexis repeats, and lets out a sigh of relief.
"I can't believe it." Paige replies
"I can't tell you how good it is to see you guys. Hey, you cut your hair." Leo states,
"Yeah, yeah, you like it?" Phoebe asks happily
"Hello, people." Alexis calls, looking over her shoulder to make sure no one was coming.
"Oh." Phoebebreathes, feeling Alexis' nervousness.
"What are you doing in here anyway?" Paige asks
"Somebody put me here, that's what." Leo answers,three Valkyries run in. "Watch out!"
The girls turn around and the Valkyries fling them across the room with telekinetic powers. The Valkyries run over to them and they start fighting. The Valkyries hold Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe up against the wall by their necks. Leo grabs two swords and throws them at the Valkyries, stabbing them in the back. They fall to the ground. Alexis felt her stomach drop and the next thing, the Valkyrie holding her was ash, only the pendent remained,
"Oh, oh, thank you." Phoebe replies,
They go back over to Leo.
"Wow, Leo, I didn't know you had it in you." Paige comments,
"I've changed. You need to get out of here before the other Valkyries find you. If you orbed in here, they've already been alerted, believe me." Leo replies,
"Valkyries? Who are they and what do they want with you?" Phoebe asks
"You can't orb out from here, it's protected." Leo explains,They hear voices. "You need to get out of here now. Go, run!"
"We'll be back." Phoebe replies,
Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige run out of the cave and orb out. The Valkyries run in and see the two other Valkyries dead and the pile of ash. They look at Leo.
"I told you, I don't belong here." Leo states
The three girls orb back to the manor, and Paige gets the Book of Shadows and went into the dinning room, Chris and the bulldog are there. Paige is looking through the Book of Shadows.
"You could have been killed, you know that? Huh? What were you thinking?" Chris asks
*Yeah, I would have faded from existence, if something were to happen to you, mum.* Lynx' soft thought caresses Alexis' mind,
"We were thinking of finding Leo, which we actually did if that matters to you." Paige replies
"What was up with that skirt he was wearing?" Phoebe asks
"At least the skirt wasn't plaid." Alexis replies,
Phoebe laughs.
"I don't believe this. It's like neither of you guys are taking this very seriously." Chris replies,The bulldog barks at Chris. "Hey, do you mind?"
"Well, I can't help it if he doesn't like you. Hey, you were supposed to take him back home anyway." Paige answers,
"I tried but the owners weren't there. Besides, the dog, he's not my job, he's yours." Chris replies,
"I know, don't remind me." Paige groans, the dog growls. "Hey, Oscar, lay down."
Oscar walks over and lays down beside Paige.
"Aw, look, Paige, I think he likes you." Phoebe teases,
"Yeah, great, don't tell me you can read his feelings now too." Paige replies,
"No, but if I start licking your toes, run. Where's Piper?" Phoebe asks "Where's Wyatt also?"
"I put her in her room hoping that it might jog her memory. Since nobody else seems to be trying to." Chris replies,
"Wyatt's in his playpen taking a nap," Lynx replies, "I took care of him, while you were off Globe orbing."
Paige finds the Valkyries in the Book of Shadows.
"Here it is. 'Valkyries. A powerful race of demigoddesses who scout the battle grounds for dying warriors.'" Paige states
"Then take their souls to Valhalla where they prepare them for the final world battle." Phoebe finishes,
"Valkyries, huh?" Alexis asks
"Does that mean they're good?" Phoebe asks
"How can they be good if they've got Leo?" Paige asks
"And how did they even get Leo? He's not a dying warrior, he's an Elder." Alexis asks,
"Look, why don't you guys concentrate on helping Piper and I'm gonna go fill in the Elders and see what they wanna do." Chris replies,
*Chris, if you're doing what I'm thinking you are, I'll meet you outside.* Lynx states gravely,
"But Chris, we don't have time for that. We have to go back for Leo now." Phoebe replies,
"Why? It doesn't sound like he's in any sort of trouble." Chris asks
"He's only stuck in a cage." Paige replies,
"They tried to kill us when we tried to save him." Phoebe states,
"My point exactly. It's too dangerous, you're not going back." Chris replies
"Wait, let me get this straight. Are you telling me that you'd rather just let Leo rot there? Is that what you're saying?" Alexis asks
"No, but..." Chris replies,
"He needs our help." Paige interrupts
"Not to mention, he may be the only way we have to save Piper." Phoebe replies,
Chris sighs.
Lynx coughed and got everyone's attention, "You can't orb into Valhalla undetected. The only way to get there safely is with a Valkyries pendant. But that still won't get you close enough to Leo. He's too well guarded now."
"How do you know all this?" Paige asks
"we've crossed paths with Valkyries before. In the future. Anyway, we can get you the pendants but the only way to get close to Leo is by proving to the Valkyries you're one of them." Chris answers,
*Crossed paths, you were in Heaven. The first time you snogged one. Let alone what you did afterward, still gives me nightmares.* Lynx teases
*just because you're skilled in legilimency,* Chris replies,
*legilimency, my ass. You were the one thinking about it all the time. And you know, I can't shield your mind out that well.* Lynx retorts. *And my telepathy and legilimency work together, you dork. It's not my fault*
"How are we supposed to do that?" Phoebe asks breaking the two cousins out of the telepathic conversation.
"Easy. Just arrive with a warrior's soul." Chris answers,
"Oh! Easy." Paige replies,
"Where are we supposed to find a warrior's soul?" Phoebe asks
"Beats me." Chrisanswers, he and Lynx orbs out
Somewhere near a sewer, A cop is shot. He falls to the ground. The shooter runs out. A portal opens and a Valkyrie walks out of it.
"It's alright, you don't have to be afraid. You're a brave warrior. I'll take care of you." the Valkyrie states,
Chris and Lynx orbs in.
"I don't think so, Leysa. Not this time." Chris states,
"What are you doing here?" Leysa asks
"Our plans have changed unfortunately. The witches, they found Leo sooner than we would have liked." Lynx answers, coldly. She was looking at her fingernails, like she didn't care about it one way or the other.
"That's not my problem. We kept our end of the deal." Leysa replies,
"We know. And we're forever grateful. But we can't risk them finding out what we're up to. we're truly sorry." Chris states, he tightens his fist and Leysa gasps. She grabs her chest and falls to the floor. Chris walks over to her and takes her necklace. "Forgive me." Leysa vanishes. Chris kneels beside the wounded cop. He lifts his arm and hesitates. He takes the cop's radio. "Officer down. Eighth avenue sewer, we need an ambulance."
In another Alley, Darryl leads a criminal out of a building into the alley.
"You ain't got nothin' on me." Criminal states,
"Shut up." Darryl orders, he take him over to the car. "Get in there." Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige orb in nearby and waves him over. "Wait here."
"Yeah, like I'm going anywhere." Criminal replies,
Darryl shuts the door and goes over to the girls.
"Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?" Darryl asks, he leads them further down the alley.
"Darryl, we need your help." Phoebe answers,
"Does this have anything to do with you asking Sheila to watch Wyatt? She just called." Darryl asks
"Yes, actually. But we don't have a lot of time. It's about Leo." Alexis replies,
"You found him?" Darryl asks
"Actually, yeah, we did." Paige replies
"And we need your help to save him." Alexis states,
"Sure, you know that, just ask, anything." Darryl replies
"Great! We just need to borrow your soul for a couple of hours." Phoebe states,
"Yeah, we'll get it right back." Paige agrees,
"It's perfectly safe, really. You're body will just slip into a coma and as long as we get your soul back in time..." Alexis explains,
"Which we will." Paige interrupts
"You'll be fine. Just a little headache, that's all. What do you say?" asks Alexis,
there was silence, as Darryl just stares at them.
"You're serious, aren't you?" Darryl asks
"Please, Darryl, it's the only way we can save Leo." Phoebe reasons,
"No! I ain't doing it." Darryl
"Darryl, please." Phoebe begs
"No, absolutely not! Listen, I love Leo like a brother but you know, there's a limit to what you ask me to do." Darryl replies he turns and walks off mumbling to himself. Paige throws a potion at him and his body drops to the ground, leaving just his soul walking along.
"Uh, Darryl?" Paige asks
"What?" Darryl askshe turns around. Paige points to his body on the ground.
"Oh. That's just great." Darryl remarks,
Phoebe opens a small bottle and his soul gets sucked into it. She puts on the lid.
"I hope this works." Phoebe states,
At the manor, in the living, Piper and Chris are there.
"Just remember everything I told you and you'll be fine, okay?" Chris asks
Lynx places the Valkyrie's necklace around Piper's neck and it glows. She turns into a Valkyrie herself and is now wearing a leather skirt and sleeveless top. Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige orb in.
"Okay, we got the... Oh my god, what did you do to Piper?" Phoebe replies,
"I turned her into a Valkyrie. And convinced her she's one too. Actually, it wasn't that hard really, considering the fact that her mind is basically a blank." Lynx explains,
"But why?" Paige asks
"Because you might need the power of four to get Leo out of Valhalla and this is the only way you'll get her in Valhalla." Chris answers,
"Well, if Piper ever gets her memory back, she's gonna kill you both." Phoebe replies
"Why?" Chris asks
"Because she hates wearing those costumes as much as we do." Phoebe answers,
"Mm-hmm." Paige agrees,
Alexis nods her agreement.
"Yeah, well, in that case, you're gonna kill us too." Chris states, he holds out three more Valkyrie necklaces. Paige's eyes widen.
Valhalla. Rainforest path. A portal opens and Piper, Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige walk out all wearing Valkyrie outfits.
In the cave. The Valkyries are there. Two pull out a warrior from the cage. Piper, Phoebe, Alexis and Paige walk in.
"Can I help you?" Kara asks
"We've brought you a warrior." Phoebe replies,
"Warrior?" Kara asks
"Is there a problem?" Alexis asks
"How come I don't recognize you?" Freya asks, sitting up
Piper steps forward. "Perhaps you'll recognize this. A warrior's spirit worthy of Valhalla."
She opens the bottle and Darryl's spirit escapes from it.
"Well done." Freya replies,
Darryl, now corporeal, is thrown into the cage, along with a shield and sword. Piper, Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige are sitting nearby. A man offers them some fruit but Phoebe shakes her head.
"Not a bad afterlife if you ask me." Paige comments,
Darryl looks at the girls.
"You're doing great, honey." Phoebe states,
Leo walks into the cage with the helmet on. He sees Darryl and looks at the girls. Paige waves.
"Okay, I know how we're gonna save Leo but how are we gonna save Morris?" Paige asks
"We were supposed to come up with a plan B?" Alexis asks
"I have no idea, that's why they call it winging it." Phoebe replies,
"What are you three talking about?" Piper asks
"Nothing." Phoebe replies,
Leo and Darryl walk around the cage.
"What are you waiting for? Attack!" Freya commands.
Darryl attacks Leo and knocks off his helmet.
"Leo?" Piper questions.
"What are we gonna do?" Alexis asks
"It's Piper. Her pain is back, do something." Phoebe replies
"Uh, kill him!" Paige orders,
Leo kicks Darryl and he falls flat on his back. Leo jumps on him and they roll around the floor.
"Take the fall." Leo whispers,
"What fall?" Darryl asks
Leo head butts Darryl.
"Stay down." Leo states, thenstands up and raises his arms. "Yeah!"
The Valkyries are disappointed.
"What is he doing here? What are we doing here?" Piper asks
"Piper, shh!" Paige replies,
Phoebe feels her pain. "Ow. Do something."
Alexis stands up. "We just wanted to apologize for sending you such a weak warrior. We can get rid of him for you."
"Get rid of him?" Mist asks
"Yeah. You know, like send his spirit onto the hereafter or something." Alexis replies
"Very well." Freya agrees
The Valkyries go their separate ways. Piper goes up to the cage.
"You left me, didn't you?" Piper asks
"Potion, potion." Phoebe states, Paige throws a potion at the door and it opens. "We gotta get out of here."
Leo helps Darryl up.
outside the cave. Leo and Darryl run outside.
"It's clear!" Leo exclaims,
Phoebe, Alexis, Piper and Paige walk outside. Phoebe doesn't look so good.
"I'll open the portal." Paige states,
"Uh!" Phoebe groans, she grabs her chest
"Phoebe." Paige states,
"It's Piper. Her heart is breaking." Phoebe explains,
"Piper..." Leo begins,
"Don't. Stay away from me." Piper interrupts
"I promise I will explain everything when we get home but right now we need to go." Leo states
"Home? We don't have a home. You left us." Piper replies,
"Leo, talk to her!" Phoebe exclaims,
"I didn't have a choice. I became an Elder, it's not something that I wanted, it's something that just happened." Leo explains,
"Yes, see I know all of this. Why didn't I remember it?" Piper asks
"Because I used my powers so you wouldn't have to. Your anger almost destroyed a city, and then your pain almost destroyed you. I wanted to help you so you wouldn't have to deal with it all at once." Leo answers,
"So you took my feelings away?" Piper asks
"No, never. I was gonna reverse the spell slowly so you could feel a little more every day but then somebody did to this to me, somebody put me here so I couldn't. I'm sorry." Leo answers
"Look, I don't wanna rush you two, but we have to go." Darryl replies
"I have to second that." Paige seconds
"Third it here," Alexis adds,
Piper shakes her head and looks at Phoebe. The empathic feelings inside Phoebe kicks in.
"You bastard. How dare you do this to me. To our son." Phoebe growls
"Phoebe?" Paige asks
"It's Piper, it's her feelings." Alexis states,
"We had a life together, a family and you destroyed it, you destroyed me. You left me alone to raise our son by myself. How could you do this? How could you do this!" Phoebe yells so loudly that the camp near by hears. "How could you!" Phoebe punches Leo in the face twice. She suddenly stops before she can hit him a third time. She looks at Piper. "I don't feel Piper anymore."
They hear voices in the distance.
"We have to go." Paige states, she touches her necklace and the portal opens,
"Come on, Piper, we've gotta go." Phoebe states
"Go? Go where?" Piper asks
"Home, hurry." Alexis replies
The warriors run down the path.
"We gotta leave her. Come on." Phoebe states
Phoebe, Alexis, Paige, Leo and Darryl run into the portal leaving Piper behind. Three warriors run in after them. The portal closes. Freya, Mist and another Valkyrie run down the path. They see Piper standing there.
