Author's Note: I forgot to put a disclaimer in the first chapter. Although, I'm sure that no one assumed that since there was no disclaimer that I was Joss Whedon or one of the other writers for the show. I won't be putting the disclaimer on all the chapters. Just know that it's for the whole story, not just this one chapter.
Disclaimer: As much as I would love to, I do not own 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. All of the characters (with the exception of June) were created inside the mind of Joss Whedon. The plot of this story is totally mine.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The Calling of Truth
"You're Buffy's sister?" Dawn asked in disbelief.
"Yup. So who are you?" June questioned.
Just then, a bolt of lightning lit up the sky and was followed by a loud BOOM. The house shook slightly under the force. As though there was a zipper on the clouds that was just undone, heavy rain began to pour down.
"Uh, come on in." Dawn stepped aside, allowing June to go through. "Buffy? This girl says she's your sister."
Buffy looked confused. "But I never heard of having another sister."
"She does look a bit like you." Spike chimed in.
It was true. June Summers had the same hair color, body type, and similar facial features. A stranger off the street probably would've been able to guess that June and Buffy were closely related.
"Buffy?" June asked in a soft voice.
"Yeah, um, that's me." Buffy responded.
June smiled, "I'm June! Your sister! Where's Mom?"
"If you're my sister, then how come I've never heard of you before?" Buffy asked.
"Well, I didn't even know that I had a sister until just a few days ago. Dad was in a car accident. He's okay but he's now confined to a wheel chair. He thought I'd be better off if he sent me here. I'm sure Mom can explain what's going on. Is she home? I can't wait to meet her!" June said excitedly.
"Mom's dead," Dawn piped up.
"I've asked you before but you never answered me. Who are you?" June cocked her head in wonder.
"I'm Buffy's sister, Dawn," was Dawn's reply.
"But, Daddy didn't say anything about you. He just said I'd be coming to live with Buffy and Mom. I only have one sister. Buffy only has one sister, and that's me. Right?" June looked around the room for confirmation.
"Um, maybe we'd better meet with Giles?" suggested Dawn.
"Yeah, good idea. I'll call him." Buffy turned and left the room.
An awkward silence filled the room. A mixture of emotions went through both teenage girls. Was there only room enough for one of them in this family? The dead silence was too much for even Spike. He followed Buffy into the kitchen.
"So, um, you're Buffy's sister?" Dawn asked, finally breaking the ice.
June replied, "Yes. Were you adopted or something? I know Dad would've told me if I had two sisters."
"Well, I wasn't always a part of this family," Dawn picked her words carefully.
"Oh," said June.
Silence filled the room again when both girls ran out of things to say to each other. Buffy and Spike entered the room. Buffy grabbed her coat and swung it around her shoulders.
"We're going to meet Giles. Willow and Xander are going to be there too," Buffy stated as she opened the door.
Dawn, June, and Spike filed out of the room. Buffy followed behind and closed the door behind her. She paused a moment as a sudden thought flew through her mind. It seemed strange that Buffy would have a sister and her mom didn't tell her about it. What if June's claim to be Buffy's sister was totally false? What if June wasn't even human?
