I am so sorry how long this has taken me to update another chapter. I have been going through some stuff and life as a teenager is not easy! Especially with all the class work and such. But summer here in Germany has just started so I will be updating more. thank you to those people out there who are patient, big thanks to them.
They sisters started the summoning spell, because right now they were in desperate need of answers.
Hear these words
Here my cry
Spirits from the other side
Come to me I summon thee
Cross now the great divide
Then their Grams and Mom appeared in the circle in a burst of gold, shimmering orbs. "What is it girls?" Patty asked voice full of concern.
"Is there something wrong?" said their Grams. "A demon maybe, your having some trouble vanquishing."
Instead of answering their questions, the three sisters instead took a step back. As to allow them, to step out of the circle. But gave them hugs and greetings first before getting to the task ahead."Grams, did you have a son?" Prue asked cutting to the chase, while her two sisters watched on.
Penny was shocked." How could you have possibly known?" She asked.
"Your dodging the Grams. Did you have a son or not?" Prue Questioned.
"Yes, I admit it! I had a son." She stated throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation, then sighed."His name was Henry, as soon as he was born I gave him up for adoption. I couldn't stand the fact of having a male in this family."
"It feels good to finally hear you admit this, Mother." Patty stated." I'm surprised it took you this long."
Penny just looked at patty, confusion gracing her features. "What on earth are you talking about, Patty?"
"Didn't you ever wonder where I disappeared to, all the time." Patty Asked. "Why, I always snuck out of the house in the middle of the night or who dropped me off when I was gone all day?"
"Of course, I wondered where you went where you went!" Penny said. "I just assumed it was one of your teenage rebellious stages, who was I to stop you? Would have Even listened to me? I thought it was best to let you have your fun."
"I met him Mom, Henry we found each other when we were teens. He was about eighteen at the time." Patty said with a small smile. "He was a really great guy, I never understood why you just gave him away like that."
Penny features were overcome by disappointment and sadness. "Why didn't you ever tell me, patty? How did you even find him, you nothing about having an older brother."
"Because I knew that if you found out, you would forbid me from ever speaking to him." Patty said. "And to answer your question I didn't know I had a brother. He found me; I don't know how he knew our location and number. But he was smart enough to figure anything out."
"Grams, Your son, Uncle Henry had a child." Phoebe said causing penny and patty to look in her direction in shock.
"I'm sorry Phoebe darling, but did you just say that Henry had a child?" Grams asked In a shaky voice and the look of disbelief written on her face.
"You heard Pheebs correct grams. Uncle Henry has a daughter named Emma." Said Piper. "She's our cousin apparently."
"She's resting at the moment." Prue said. "She has gone through a lot in the past twenty four hours."
Patty looked past her daughters and saw a figure sleeping somewhat uncomfortably on the sofa they had kept in the attic. She walked up to Emma and placed a gentle hand on her forehead swiping some extra hair out of the way, to get a good look at her. In That quiet moment Leo decided to make himself known.
"If I may say something Miss Halliwell; not only did you give birth to a male, but the protector of all that is good." Leo stated. "Henry was the one keeping the balance between good and evil." This information caused Penny to gasp in shock.
Hearing this information wasn't a shock to patty, because she already knew this. She was more focused on the sleeping child in front of her. Even in her sleep she looked so broken and sad. Seeing Emma in this state brought tears to patty's eyes, this is not how she expected to meet her niece for the first time. "What has happened to you, dear child?" Patty Whispered to no one in particular then turned to look at her daughters. "What happened to her, How did she get hurt?" She asked Prue.
"See about that, I accidentally hit her with the jeep, trying to vanquish a demon." Prue said looking sheepish as she started to blush. Her Mom gave her a stern look basically saying 'Explain yourself'. We didn't mean for this to happen, we were about to hit the demon when all of a sudden she comes out of nowhere, I couldn't stop the car fast enough."
Patty scolded Prue for driving more carefully next time, because she could have killed Emma, she turned her attention back on the sleeping teenager and gently started to stroke her cheek. "She must really miss her family." Patty said.
"Do you know what happened to them, her family?" Prue asked. "She hasn't said much about her background; it seems to be a painful subject for her. Which makes me question, what happened?"
"I don't know exactly what happened, but Henry knew his time was on earth was getting close to the end." Patty said to everyone in the room.
"How?" Piper asked.
"Henry had the power of Premonition, like you Phoebe." She Said, but before anything else could be said there attention was turned toward the sound of a painful groan. Emma slowly awoke; as she opened her eyes, she was surprised when she noticed everyone in the room had all their attention on her.
A blush started to creep up on her cheeks and she shyly ducked her head in embarrassment. "Is something wrong, why is everyone staring at me?" Emma asked in confusion as to why she suddenly wakes up to find everyone staring at her. It's kind of creepy if you think about it.
Emma looked up at a woman that resembled her father, as she gave her a gentle smile. "Emma, sweetheart my name is Patty and this is your Grams Penny Halliwell." Patty said motioning to Grams and herself.
'First I get hit by a car and wake up in a strange place, then learn I have three cousins and now I'm stuck in a room with the last person I wanted to meet that clearly threw my dad away like he was nothing. Okay Em just calm down, you don't want a repeat of earlier now do you? ' Emma thought to herself. 'I can't stand this; this is just too much I have to get out of here.'
Emma looked up at Leo with a pleading expression. "Leo I want to leave, please I don't want to talk to anyone, especially my Grams, Please Leo." Leo looked torn on what to do; Emma knew right now he wasn't going to be much help. So she turned her attention to her grams. "You know my father loved you? No matter what he always seemed to love you. He didn't even know you, but yet he still cared. He was your son and you just threw him away, like yesterdays trash." Emma said her resolve tearing at the seams. "How could you do that? You were so blinded by your hate for males, that you just gave him away and never looked back. I don't understand how he could still love you after you practically gave him away. Even Aunt Patty could see that he cared for you, but he was so afraid of meeting you because he didn't want you make that mistake again." Emma tried her best to stay calm but being in the same room as her Grams mad her really angry at how she could be so heartless. "I only wish you knew him or at least tried to put your anger away and love your heart and soul that made my father, your son!" Emma said tears now flowing down her cheeks. Patter and the sister's heart's broke at the sight of Emma's misery.
Grams stood dumbfounded and shocked at the sincere tone in Emma's voice. She could tell that this girl obviously loved and missed her father desperately. Grams actually took a moment to think about what she did to her son and she felt extremely guilty. Not only did it affect Henry at the time but it hurt Patty as well. "Leo I want to go now! Please, I don't have enough energy on my own." Emma said pleading Leo to help her out.
Grams decided; now was a great time to break out of her stupor and Started to speak to Emma. "Emma, darling…." Grams got cut off.
Just save it okay, I'm done!" Emma said angrily. "I don't want to talk about this; I just want to be left alone! Come on Leo, help me out here and orb me out."
"Emma I know your upset; but don't hold a grudge, their family just talk to them." Leo said trying to get Emma to see what's right in front of her.
"So you're on their side now? You know what forget it!" Emma said slowly getting up from the sofa, wincing every few moments. Everyone looked on with shock as Emma stood; apart from Leo they were all confused on how a girl, who not too long ago got hit by a car and is now standing up freely.
"Emma, how are you standing?" Prue asked trying desperately trying to understand what was happening.
"One of my many powers is that I can heal faster than the average human. But since I've never gotten hit by a moving automobile before, my body didn't react as fast as it would have if it was a demon or something like that." Emma said nonchalantly. "My ribs are still broken, I only healed enough to be able to stand, trust me I'm still in pain. It's unbearable, I just want to give up and cry, it hurts so badly." Emma's face became unreadable, but sadness flashed in her icy green blue eyes. "But my dad taught me to always be strong and never give up. Those are the words he would always tell me before he died."
I'm so sorry." Prue said wishing she could do anything to help Emma not be sad anymore. But Emma just dismissed Prues apology with a wave of her hand.
"Just forget it, I'm out of here." Emma said limping through the group, only to be grabbed by the arm by Grams. With fast reflexes Emma snatches her arm out of Grams grasp and turns in to her full demon form which resembled a Fury only difference was the sharp teeth and bigger muscles. "Don't touch me, please I don't want to make the mistake and hurt you, just let me be." Emma said angrily, only to realize she needed to calm down. But what she didn't know she already did some damage. Emma saw Grams back away with fear filled eyes, holding her arms which Emma had scratched accidentally drawing blood.
Seeing what she did caused Emma's blood to run cold. "Oh my gosh..Grams I am so sorry, I didn't mean…I'm sorry…. Please don't be frightened. I didn't mean to hurt you…please.. I'm so sorry." Emma said frantically. It looked like Grams was in a state of shock, so Prue decided to jump in and try to fix the situation.
"Emma, sweetie it's ok, you didn't mean it." Prue said gently trying to calm Emma down, cause the poor girl looked seconds away from having a heart attack. "It was an accident, these things happen, but you need to calm down."
Emma didn't bother believing a word Prue said, it was all lies. "No it's not okay, don't lie to me. I hurt her, I can see the pain written all over face. This is why I'm afraid to have a family, don't you see it?" Emma was freaking out, she turned pale and started sweating bullets, and she couldn't seem to calm down. This wasn't supposed to happen, this was all the Elders fault. "I can't get to close because everyone I care about always gets hurt and it's all because of me."
Emma couldn't handle this any longer, she was feeling too many emotions and she could hear everyone's thoughts. It was to much, she had to get out of here and with that Emma orbed out leaving everyone in a state of shock.
