"I'm sorry that you had to go through those kinds of days," she says seriously, watching him.
She goes quiet as she thinks about it. "It all feels so complicated, honestly. My first ability was fire and when that showed itself rather dramatically, my Dad made sure to send me to therapy just as a means to control my anger or emotions. From what I have heard from Jordan's Gran, his gifts were seeing the future and getting glimpses of the past. He didn't know how to handle a budding pyro. I don't know much about my Mom or what her gifts were because she didn't leave anything behind that I've found. When we moved back to New Orleans and they bound our powers, everything just sort of got locked away, if that makes sense?"
Perhaps that was part of the reason why she returned to Seattle after their deaths. It wasn't a conscious decision but perhaps after losing the family she knew, she was seeking the family she hadn't gotten a chance to know.
"Once we found out again, then bits and pieces started to return to both Jordan and me but a lot of it is still a blur." She nods. "The demon had also been really stalker-y because he had a book on each of us detailing our lives up until that point and neither of us could ever bring ourselves to read it. Who would want to?"
She was sharing more with Kyle than she had probably shared with just about anyone but for some reason, she wanted him to know who she was. Not just the woman who sought him out to help heal her.
Piper smiles when he says that she's still pretty cool. "I appreciate that, thank you. Just wait until you really get to know me," she can't help but tease as perhaps some form of self-deprecation.
She thinks about his question before slowly nodding. "I think that's a large part of it. I haven't felt safe enough to truly sleep since they died and so...," she shrugs a little shoulder. She wasn't sure how he could help other than simply staying with her and she couldn't ask that of him.
"Oh, now that does make sense," Piper laughs and takes another drink from her water. "You know, it was always a dream to be a source of gossip in a small town."
