"No, I was adopted. Why is my life suddenly your businesss?"
Amanda dismissed Faiths' question. "I need...to find some things out. If I'm right, then you'll have some new sisters before the day is over." The whitelighter orbed out.
"Sisters? What the hell is she trying to tell me? Why would I get sisters?"
Willow made some strangled noises and started jumping up and down.
"Will? Are you ok?" Xander grabbed her arm, but she shrugged it off.
"I think I read something somewhere-Giles, where's that one book of prophecies? Letkos, I think?"
The watcher found the 600-year-old book hidden under piles of Xander's junk food. Willow unceremoniously snatched the volume out of his grasp and flipped through the pages frantically. Finally, she screamed.
"Here!"
Everyone in the room crowded around her to read what she was so excited about.
A newfound witch will come to inherit her powers in the midst of a great tragedy, making the three four. She will not know until she is tested and has redeemed herself against great crimes committed by her....
And the passage continued, basically describing Faith. Phoebe covered her mouth in shock and pointed to the Slayer.
"You're our sister? How can that be?"
"Wait a sec. I'm no one's sister."
"You have her eyes."
Everyone now turned to look at the person speaking. Piper was standing in the doorway. Her face was tearstained, made worse by the mascara that had run.
Her sisters were on her in an instant, hugging her strongly.
She shook her sisters off her.
"Not now. I can't deal, ok? Lets save the world, and then I can mourn."
Prue shook her head. This wasn't the way her sister wanted it, she knew that Piper wanted to cry her eyes out and then go kill whatever murdered Leo. But she was being brave, and Prue didn't want to hurt her sister, so she didn't say anything.
"Hey, here's a thought. Your beastie can only get killed by combining the slayer-those two ladies over there-, and the Charmed Ones-those 3 or 4, whichever. I'm not too clear on the details, but what's the common denominator here? Faith. It seems that she's a slayer AND a Charmed One." Spike let Dawn finish his thought.
"Oh my God! Faith's the only thing that can stop the demon/vamps. Cuz, ya'know, she's a combination of the Slayer and the Charmed Ones, and that's what we need. Right?"
"Right. Very good, Bit." Spike praised her. "Now Slayer #2 here just has to go out and kill her some beasties."
"And you said this wasn't gonna be fun." Faith had no idea how she was going to deal with the fact that she now had sisters, but now at least she could go kick some ass and not think about it.
"Point me at 'em."
Amanda dismissed Faiths' question. "I need...to find some things out. If I'm right, then you'll have some new sisters before the day is over." The whitelighter orbed out.
