I'm so sorry I haven't updated for so long. I completely forgot about this. Hope you like this chapter.

Now it's bound and not binded.

Chapter 10

Prue, Piper, Leo, and I climbed up the stairs to the attic. Piper lit five candles that were placed in a large circle. Prue led me to this ancient looking book on a stand. She flipped through it before chanting

Hear these words, hear my cry
Spirit from the other side
I come to me, I summon thee
Cross now the great divide

A flash of white lights appeared and then there was a woman, but she was transparent. I knew from my dreams that she was Penny Halliwell.

"We've been expecting you," Penny said.

"Yeah, well you owe a lot of answers," Piper said.

"Don't you use that tone of voice to your grandmother. Now Buffy, it's nice to meet you. I'm Penelope Halliwell, your grandmother," Penny said to me.

"I know, I've been having a bunch of dreams," I replied.

"Yes well a formal introduction never hurt," said Penny.

"Wait so you mean she's actually our sister?" Prue asked, "So she was telling the truth?"

"Yes she was, she's your baby sister," Penny answered with a slight grin.

"How could you not tell us we had another sister? We deserved to know. You lied to us, you're our grandmother and we trusted you. You couldn't take two minutes to tell us?" ranted Piper.

"I was asked not to tell," Penny simply said.

"By who?" asked Prue.

"By me," another voice said. Then another woman appeared in bright lights. "Hello my darlings, I've missed you," Patty said. Then she turned to me and said, "Oh Buffy, you're so grown up now."

"Heh yeah, I am," I said awkwardly.

"Mom, why didn't you tell us we had another sister?" demanded Prue.

"The truth is Buffy is your half-sister. Victor isn't her father," explained Patty.

"You cheated on Dad," stated Prue.

Patty said, "No, no, nothing like that. It was while your father and I were divorced. I met a man named Donovan and we dated for about a year. He seemed like a very nice gentleman but then I found out he was a demon. Donovan was working for the source and his assignment was to impregnate me. Then he planned to take my baby and raise her evil. The source hoped the baby would be powerful enough to tip the balance towards evil. Well I couldn't allow that to happen. By that time I was all ready pregnant with Buffy. I couldn't kill my baby but I couldn't let her be raised evil either. The only other option we could think of was giving Buffy up for adoption. Once Donovan realized I knew he was a demon, he seemed to vanish. I never did tell Donovan I was pregnant with his baby." (A/N Let's pretend the source is still the all-powerful evil instead of the triad).

"Your mother and I had to make sure Donovan wouldn't hurt our family anymore. We tried to find him and vanquish him but we simply weren't powerful enough," said Penny.

"Why adoption?" I asked, "Why couldn't you just raise me?"

"If Donovan realized you existed, he would've tried to steal you. Even if we found a way to defeat him, the source would have sent countless demons. Then there were the Elders. They wouldn't have understood. I don't even want to think about what they might have done to you or your sisters. We were afraid they would deny you your birthright," Patty explained

"So I'm half demon," I said in a shocked voice.

"Yes, but you're also half witch. My whitelighter, Sam, took me to a local church. We asked a nun there to find you a good home. We also asked that you be named something that begins with a P," Patty said.

"I met the nun, Sister Agatha. She talked about seeing angels come in a swirl of bright lights, I get the orbing explains it. She found me a really good home. As for the P thing, my parents were going to name me Phyllis or Phylicia, but that clearly didn't work out. I'm not really what she was thinking when she decided my name would be Buffy," I said.

"How old are you Buffy?" Prue asked.

"I just turned 22," I answered.

"Mom, don't you think I would've remembered if you were pregnant. I was 8 when Buffy was born," Prue asked.

"You were away when I began to show. Prue was at summer camp and the others were with you're father for the summer. You saw Buffy the day before we went to that church," Patty explained.

"I remember there seeing a baby. You said the baby belonged to a friend of yours. Now I understand," Prue said.

Turning to me, Patty asked, "Did your parents love you?"

"Yeah, they did. My mom especially," I replied.

"Would you mind telling me about your childhood?" Patty asked.

"I had a pretty good childhood. I lived in Los Angeles until I was 15. My parents then got divorced and I moved to a little town called Sunnydale with my mom. She died two years ago because of a brain tumor. I'm not close with my dad anymore. Actually I haven't talked to him for a couple of years. Last I heard he was in Spain with his secretary," I said sadly.

"I'm sorry"

"Thank you. Anyways I stayed in Sunnydale until I collapsed. I didn't really have anything to do so I figured I'd come look for my birth family," I said.

"Leo said you're the slayer," Prue said.

"I am, or I was. Now there's slayers everywhere and I'm kind of retired," I explained.

"You're life hasn't been easy," said Prue quietly.

"No it's not easy, but I have a good life. I've been pretty lucky," I said.

"Do you have any question you want to ask us, anything at all?" Patty asked.

"Well I have been curious about a couple of things. Is it all right for me to be here? I mean what about the Elders and demons? What are the Elders anyways?" I asked.

Patty answered, "The Elders are higher beings of good who oversee good magic. They have realized they need you – "

"Need me, what could they possible need me for?" I asked. I really thought I was done with the whole destiny thing.

"Piper, Phoebe, and I made up the Charmed Ones, the most source of good magic. Our power lies in their bond as sisters. When the power of three was broken, the Elders realized they needed you to be the third sister," Prue explained.

"As for Donovan, he doesn't even know you exist. If he found out, your sisters could protect you," Patty said.

"Do I have any powers?" I asked.

"We bound your powers when you were born so we don't know for sure, but you should," answered Penny.

"Bound? That seems a little extreme," I said.

"Don't feel bad, Grams did it to us too. She almost took them away for good, but then she died," Piper said.

"Oh hush, it was for your own good. Besides I wasn't sure you could handle your powers, not with the way you argued over everything," Grams said while rolling her eyes.

"Long story, we'll explain later," Piper said to me.

"Phoebe had the power of premonition, levitation and empathy. (A/N pretend she got this power earlier) You should have those powers. Since you're half demon, you should probably have some other ones too," Patty said.

"How do I know when I'll get these?" I asked.

"Well we first received one power. Then as time went on, we received more and more powers," explained Piper.

"What powers do you guys have?" I asked.

"I have the power of telekinesis and your mother had the power to freeze time," Penny answered.

"I have the power of telekinesis, telepathy, astral projection, and thought projection," said Prue.

"I have the power to freeze or speed up molecules. Basically I can freeze time or blow stuff up. I can also move at super speed too," Piper said. (A/N I added a few powers)

"Wow that's really neat," I said with awe.

"Well you girls should become reacquainted. We have an afterlife to get back to," Penny said.

"Blessed be my daughters, blessed be," Patty said happily.

"Blessed be"

Turning to Prue and Piper, I said, "So sisters huh?"

"Yeah, sisters, sister witches. Why don't you stay with us tonight, we have a lot to talk about," Prue suggested.

"Yeah I'd love to, let me just call Paige," I said while thinking how wonderful life was turning out to be.

Little did the sisters know they were being spied on.

A/N Be aware that chapter 9 was rewritten, or else this chapter doesn't make sense.

So who's spying on them? Take a guess.

I made up a demon to be Buffy's father. Donovan means dark warrior, kind of suits someone who serves the source. Cole's half demon, so why can't Buffy be half demon. Besides Buffy doesn't seem like the whitelighter type to me. Like it? Hate it?
