A/N: hey, so this is the beginning of a small Buffy x-over.Just ignore the fact of lapses in both
shows universes. If you don't watch buffy (god forbid) then don't worry just do the math. oh
and since my series started after the fifth halliwell, none of the episodes after that happened
therefore, no vampire clashes :D

Part 7

I feel far from all I know.
Feel so far from myself.
Another day.
Another town.
Another state.
Sometimes I cry about the past.
All I can do is learn from my mistakes and not make the same ones twice.
I don't have the strength to do it all alone.
Thank God I'll never be.


"What did they say?" Prue asked the second Leo orbed back from seeing the elders.

"They put Willow, the witch we need, on my 'radar'. But that's all the help they will give us.
They won't object to anything either." Leo answered.

"Well... I guess that's more than they would normally do. We should orb to... 'Willow' now."
Phoebe said.

Leo frowned, "I don't want to take you all. Maybe it would be best for me to go alone"

"No. One of us should come with you. You're not the best at explaining yourself." Piper said.

"I'll go then." Prue said.

"No, you should stay with Pheebs. Then you can orb her out if anything happens." Piper told
Prue.

Neither of them looked happy about it but knew Piper was right. They joined in an embrace,
"Be careful." Prue warned.

Piper nodded the wrapped her arms around Leo's waist as they orbed out.

******

Sunnydale, Summers Living room.

Piper and Leo looked around not seeing anyone. Piper shrugged at leo then shouted, "Anyone
home!?"

They heard heel's on the wooden floor and some soft footsteps with them. A small blonde girl
rushed in followed by a red head.

"Who are you and what the hell do you want?" The blonde asked in a pissed off voice.

Leo stepped slightly infront of Piper, "I'm sorry to barge in like this but we didn't want to orb
outside the house incase someone saw. I'm Leo wyatt and this is my wife, Piper."

"That's real nice Leo.I'm Buffy, Buffy the vampire slayer. Now, what the hell is orbing? And
again what do you want?" She said not easing up on the threatening posture.

Piper stepped out and cleared her throat, "We need to find a witch called, Willow. Leo is
Whitelighter and orbing is his mode of transport. I'm a witch, well a charmed one. Do you
know a Willow?" She asked getting as straight to the point as she could.

The red head finally spoke up, "Oh my god, Buffy, the charmed ones are the most powerful
witches ever. And he is an Angel."

Buffy turned her back to Piper and Leo, "Will, he's cute I''ll give him that but he's no Angel."

Willow laughed under her breath, "No, he IS an angel. Whitelighters are like protectors of
Witches."

Buffy looked confused then turned to take another look at Leo, "huh. That's pretty cool. So
do you have wings?" She asked grinning.

Willow hit Buffy on the arm while Piper did the same to Leo for his blushing.

"So you're Willow?" Piper asked seriously.

Willow nodded. "Why are you looking for me?"

"Can we explain this back at our home. It'll be easier." Piper asked.

"She doesn't go anywhere till you tell me what you want from her." Buffy told her.

Piper sighed. She could see the love between both and knew they must be sisters if not best
friends. "We just fought a warlock ho had the power to bring back past emotions. It causes his
victims to commit suicide. He got to my baby sister. We vanquished him and thought it mite
reverse her death but it didn't. Now she's in hell and we will not leave her there. Leo told us
about you performing the resurrection spell. We ned you to do it again."

Willow turned pale, "I.. I'm sorry but I can't."

Piper's hope was almost completely gone, "Why can't you help us?"

"She said she's sorry but she can't. I'm sorry for your loss but you can't come in here and
harass her." Buffy said trying to Protect Willow.

Piper looked up from the floor with tears streaming down her face, "Please don't make me
lose my baby sister, not again." Piper begged. Leo held her hand tighter trying to provide
some comfort.

Willow's heart went out to the woman. "I'm so sorry but I can't use that kind of magic
anymore. I... I had a problem and caused the death of a human. Also a piece of me."

"Then help us, tell us how you did it. Please. Don't let a good soul be kept in hell."

Willow's compassionate side took over as she waked up to Piper and took her hand, "We
used the last urn of Osiris. Demon's attacked and broke it. There's no more none." Willow
regretted telling her that as she saw the pain and confusion in Piper's eyes explode.

Piper thought she was going to suffocate right there. She couldn't breath but in one huge
heave she started to weep for her baby sister as she buried her head in Leo's shoulder.

Leo gently held Piper and kissed her head. "Honey, calm down. I can get an urn." Piper slowly
started to pull herself together.

Willow walked back over to Buffy then looked at Leo, "We used the last urn. There are no
more."

"I have contacts, and I have ways." Leo said with a smile. "Will you come with us to San
Francisco?" he asked.

Buffy looked worried, "We're not big on funds right now. Plane tickets could be awkward."

"You don't need any. I can orb us there right now. Are you both coming?"

Willow looked at Buffy with the panicked, 'don't leave me' look. "Yes we are." Buffy
answered surely.

"Oh! What about Dawnie?"

"She's staying at Kit's this weekend." Buffy replied.

Buffy looked sympathetically at Piper, "Should we wait till she's ok?"

Piper managed to lift her head from Leo's chest and gave them an embarrassed smile, "I'm
fine. Let's just go."

Leo wrapped his arm around Piper then offered his arm out to Willow and Buffy who took it.
Ten seconds later they were at the manor.

Willow stumbled but Buffy steadied her. "Whoa, that's some rush."

Leo grinned, "yeah it's pretty cool."

Piper pulled away and walked into the living room where Prue and Phoebe were sitting. Prue
had her arms around Phoebe and opened one out for Piper. She could tell her sister had been
crying.

Piper fell into Prue's embrace. "She's here. We have a chance, Prue."

Prue then saw Leo lead in two young woman. One was very confident while the other one
looked a little shy... worried almost.

"I'm going to get the urn. I'll be back soon." Leo said before orbing out.

Prue carefully got up and put her arm out towards Buffy and Willow. "I'm Prue Halliwell,
Piper's sister and that's Phoebe, our other sister, over there."

Buffy shook Prue's hand but Willow interrupted, "Unless one of you is a ghost, we've been
lied to."

An angry look flashed Prue's face until she calmed herself down. "I think you should sit down
so we can explain. Don't worry you haven't been lied to."

Buffy and Willow sat down in the big armchair while Prue rejoined her sisters on the sofa.

"You seem to know that there are meant to be 3 charmed ones. There was. Piper, Phoebe and
I for 3 years until I died a year ago-"

"I knew I saw you somewhere before! You used to spend a lot of time with the cute guy and
the two older woman!" Buffy interrupted.

"Yeah. I don't remember seeing you."

"Well, you always seemed busy... you wre the most stressed person in heaven thats for sure."

Prue let out a genuine smile.

"Wait, you two were near each other in heaven?" Willow asked.

"Yeah, they keep all the people who were somehow involved in the fight for good together.
It's like angelic cliques." Buffy answered.

"Well, back to what I was saying. I died a year ago and it was then we found out about Paige,
our baby sister. She was in danger and given up for adoption at birth. Our mother died soon
after so we never knew until then. About a 8 weeks ago the brotherhood of the apocalypse
came after my sisters. The Elders granted me the power of orbing and healing. I came down to
help them and once we did the elders let me stay. They figured my little sisters needed the
extra protection."

Piper could see Prue was starting to struggle. "You know what happened. You know where
she is. And you know why we need your help."

"I can tell you how to perform the ritual but you have to know some things. There's animal
sacrifice involved. Also when your performing the ritual, you need to be prepared for the tests.
It involves a lot of pain... A snake coming through your mouth, cuts all all over your body,
stuff like that." Willow informed them.

"It's ok. I can handle that if it gets Paige back." Prue said.

Piper and Phoebe looked up at Prue in shock.

"Prue, who said you're doing it?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, we have to decide rationally who's going to do it." Piper agreed.

Prue put on her resolve face. "Don't argue with me. The only person doing that ritual is me
and you know it. I'm oldest, I hold responsibility." She told them.

Buffy noticed the connection between them. Prue took charge, as well as responsibility for the
family. Buffy did the same.

"You need to be sure you know what you're doing. Will brought me back because she
thought I was in hell but I wasn't." Buffy tried to warn them.

Phoebe spoke up this time. "We know she's not. Suicide is a mortal sin, it wiped out her pass
to heaven. The elders confirmed it."

Buffy nodded, "looks like we've got work to do then."
