Chapter 1


The alarm clock rang loudly in the bedroom of 20 year old Isabella Girardo. She moaned at the sound of the annoying clock and slammed it onto the floor. A few seconds later, Isabella felt someone poking her back. She turned around and saw her mom. Isabella turned back to her pillow. That action just made her mother rip off her covers which sent a cool shock over her body. That certainly got Isabella awake. Upon seeing that her daughter was awake, Selena Girardo left the room to finish breakfast. Isabella sat up and looked at her mirror. Her brown hair hung just above her shoulder line and had a few black streaks here and there. Her eyes were a hazel colour that morning. Isabella smiled. She liked the colour of her eyes. It was one of the few things that she liked about her body.

After examining herself for the next few minutes, Isabella went to her closet to pick out some clothes for the first day of school. After much deliberation, she picked out a black peasant-like skirt, along with a black tank top. She decided to wear her hair down and wavy. She didn’t feel like going all out for the first day of school. The act made people expect way too much from her.

Isabella walked into the kitchen where some toast and cereal was set out for her. Isabella loved her mom’s cooking. She ate her breakfast but was feeling guilty inside for being 20 and still depending on her mother so much. She should have gotten her own home by now, but Isabella knew better, and circumstances had prevented her from breaking away from her mother. Isabella finished up her breakfast and left her home.

It was a very beautiful day in San Francisco. They were much nicer then the cold, cloudy mornings she was used to while living in New York. Isabella was born in Italy to Selena and Antonio Girardo. When she was three, they moved to New York. Not too long afterwards, her father was mysteriously killed. Isabella later found out the true reason behind his death. From then on, it was just her and her mother. Isabella was very close to her mom, not only because it was only them, but also because of how close in age they were. Selena had Isabella when she was about 17 years old, so the proximity of their ages proved to be a great factor in why they had such a strong bond. Isabella lived her whole life in New York and loved every second of it. She had great friends, and always knew where to get the best food, the nicest clothes at affordable prices, and the places with the widest selection of music. Then out of the blue, Selena decided to move to San Francisco. At first Isabella clearly objected, but a few days later, an event took place that changed Isabella’s mind drastically and also caused her to decide not to move away from her mom. Within a few weeks, they were settled in a small apartment in San Francisco. Isabella had transferred into the University of San Francisco into the History program. This was to be her first day of school.

As Isabella got off the bus in front of campus, she looked around and noticed the different people who were going to that school. Isabella sighed and adjusted the shoulder bag, which held her books. Isabella began walking to the main entrance. She was so confused; she didn’t know where anything was. She found the main office and asked for a locker. After much contemplation on which location would be best, a locker was assigned to her. Isabella then made her way through the crowd of students to find her locker. Her shoulder was aching and she wanted to get rid of the books she held. She held a map of the school grounds, but that didn’t help her much. After getting lost a dozen times, she found the wing that held the lockers. She found her locker and got settled in.

Isabella then took a look at her watch and to her shock, noticed her first class was going to start in about 10 minutes. Isabella panicked and rushed out with her books in her hands. She was rushing so much that she didn’t look where she was going. Before she could stop herself, she crashed right into a young man. Isabella fell back and watched as her books scattered everywhere. The young man fell backwards to, but he wasn’t holding anything, so nothing scattered around him. Isabella looked at the student and blushed. She did not need this on her first day of school. She quickly got up and started collecting her books. She looked at the young man who had already gotten up.

“I am so very sorry… I am such a klutz…. I don’t even know where I’m supposed to go and I’m so confused.” Isabella started rambling. It was habit when she got really nervous. The young man just smiled at her and ran his fingers through his brown hair.

“Don’t worry about it. The first day of school is always crazy. At least here it is.”

He noticed one of Isabella’s books on the floor. He got down and picked it up. He examined it.

“History of Rome… The Rise and fall of Caesars… I think I have the same class.”

Isabella gave the student an aggravated look. She did not have time for this. She shook her head and went to grab her book, when the young man pulled it away for some reason. Isabella glared at him. This young man was not giving her a good first impression, but then again, neither was she.

“Excuse me, can you please give me my book back, I late for class.”

The boy looked interested in her book. He continued looking through it without regards that Isabella was standing there impatiently. When she mentioned the class, the boy’s head shot up.

“The teacher cancelled class. I have no idea why though. You don’t see these things on the first day of school.” He laughed to himself and then handed the book back to Isabella. Isabella took it and looked at the boy with question and curiosity on her face. She particularly took notice of the small silver triquetra around his neck. She knew what that symbol meant, but why was this boy wearing it? Before she could think more the boy began talking again.

“I see that you not from around here… How about I show you around in order to prevent you from smashing into other people?” The boy smiled, much to the annoyance of Isabella. She decided to get past his annoying attitude for several reasons. The first reason being that she needed a friendly face to make her feel more normal in this new atmosphere. The second being that she was still so interested in his necklace and something about him made her feel so drawn to him, but she didn’t know what it was.

“Fine, but just so you know I may look small, but I can be a force to reckon with. By the way, my name is Isabella... Isabella Girardo” Isabella smiled and offered him her hand. The boy took it and shook it.

“Nice to meet you Isabella… My name is Chris...”

[italiannna]

Awwww! Since u guys are so nice, I won't leave you hanging... Here's Chapter 2...


Chapter 2


Chris… Chris…Chris… The name rang loudly in Isabella’s mind. She knew she had to connect something together about this young man… But what was it? The meeting had been too sudden and almost too coincidental. After he introduced himself, Chris had shown Isabella around school. He told her where her classes would be and walked her to them before heading off to his own classes. They met after Isabella’s last class and talked a bit more. It was then that Chris suddenly got a strange look on his face and said that he had to go. Isabella watched as he ran down the street… Isabella also saw a beautiful California girl in Chris’s path, so she naturally assumed he was chasing after her. She rolled her eyes and started to angrily walk home. She didn’t notice the orb patterns that appeared after Chris has suddenly turned into an alley.

Isabella arrived home to a great shock. Immediately all thoughts and anger towards Chris were cast aside as she saw her home in a complete mess. Her heart went up to her throat as she looked at the mess. Tables were overturned, furniture spread everywhere, and dishes were smashed on the floor. Isabella stared in shock for a few moments but then snapped back to reality as she remembered her mother.

“MOM!!! Mom! Where are you?! Oh my God…. Mom!!!” Isabella searched franticly for her mother. Just as she was about to go search outside, her mother came in through the balcony. Isabella sighed in relief and went to hug her mother. Her mother held her in her arms. Isabella felt like crying. She was so afraid that she had lost the only person left in her life. Isabella broke from the hug and looked her mother in the eyes.

“Which one did it?”

“Isabella…. Please… Don’t…”

“Mom! Who did this?” Isabella’s eyes changed into a deep icy blue. That usually happened when she got really pissed off. Her mother stood tall and looked her daughter straight in the eyes.

“Isabella…. Whoever it was, it’s no matter now… He’s gone.” Isabella looked around and nodded her head as she understood what her mother meant by that. She sighed and began cleaning up the house. She was so tired of this. The other kids never had to go through what she had to go through… Mostly on a daily basis.

After a few hours of cleaning up, Isabella started to cook some supper while her mother relaxed on the couch. Isabella sighed as she cooked. She should have been home to help her mother with her little visitor. If something had happened to her mom, Isabella would have never forgiven herself. At times like these, Isabella considered quitting school to make sure her mother would be alright. But, her mother would never forgive her if she left school, and besides she was underestimating her mother. Selena was 37, not 57 and she was as strong now as she was when she was Isabella’s age.

After eating their supper, Selena left the house to go for a quick walk. Isabella cleaned up some more and relaxed on the couch while listening to some of her music. She lay down and looked up at the ceiling. Her mind began to wander and she thought about Chris. His brown hair, his delicate facial features, his bright green eyes, they were all so wonderful. At the thought of this, Isabella snapped out of her fantasy and shook her head.

Stop it right now Isabella! You saw him today going after that girl. He’s not worth your time. You have other things to focus on! He’s just another boy… Just another boy…

While Isabella was thinking to herself, she didn’t notice someone enter her house. Before she could do anything about it, she felt herself flying into the kitchen table. Surprised, Isabella got up to see a very ugly creature standing right in front of her. His sinister grin bared very sharp teeth and his yellow eyes glowed menacingly. Any normal girl would have been scared to death, but Isabella was not a normal girl. She stood tall and gave the creature a cocky smile and a tough look. The beast snarled at her.

“Did you miss me witch?” He growled at her. Isabella just glared at him.

“You again? Haven’t you and you’re little clan of demons gotten tired of being vanquished yet?”

“Until we accomplish what we’ve set out to do, we will not stop.”

The creature suddenly sent a ball of high voltage energy ball to Isabella. She levitated to avoid it, for yes, Isabella was indeed a witch. Not just an ordinary witch but a pretty powerful witch. Not as powerful as the famous Charmed Ones, but she came pretty close. One of her first ancestors, Joanna Morano was a friend to Melinda Warren. After Melinda was burned at the stake, Joanna and several other witches ran away on a small ship back to Europe. Joanna then traveled back to Italy and the line continued from there. Like the Warren/Halliwell line, Isabella’s family had a book of spells, except they didn’t call it the Book of Shadows, they didn’t want to get confused with the other covens in the States, and so they just called it The Book of the Rose. Isabella’s family symbol was that of a Rose. Isabella’s powers included Levitation, Electrokinesis, and Invisibility.

Isabella landed down onto her feet and sent an electric bolt to the demon; he dodged it and sent a series of energy balls to Isabella. She managed to dodge a few but was struck on her arm by the last one. Isabella fell down in pain as the wound seared down her arm. The demon closed up on her, as Isabella feared for her life. Before the demon could finish her off, she saw him yell out in pain and shimmer away. Isabella looked up and saw her mother standing there. Selena ran to her daughter and held her close to her. Isabella winced at the pain. Selena helped Isabella up and they went into the bathroom to try and clean up her wound. The wound was big but not too big. Some gauze was able to conceal it. Isabella and Selena then headed back to the living and they began talking about what had happened.

“I dunno mom. I mean one second I’m, lying on the couch thinking to myself and the next, I’m crashing into the table. I don’t get it… What does he want from us?”

“I have no idea Isabella. We need to figure out a way to destroy him once and for all so that he can never hurt us again.”

“Just like he did when he killed dad.” Isabella said quietly as her head hung low. Selena held her daughter close to her and rubbed her back in comfort.

“It’s not fair mom… Those demons killed dad, I can’t even remember him because of them… And just when our lives start getting back together, they begin attacking again…”

“No one ever said life was fair Isabella, it’s the trials of life that make us stronger and help us to move on. I thought we’d be safer here in San Fran…”

“You know what mom? These attacks started up the same time that you decided to move here, which I still don’t understand why we had to move in the first place.” Selena looked away. She knew her daughter hated being here, but she had foreseen something amazing happening to her daughter by moving to San Francisco, she just never told her daughter that. She didn’t want to put too much pressure on her.

“You don’t like it here?”

“Mom, to be honest at first I hated it here. After my first day, I thought I had met a nice person, but it turns out they weren’t as nice as I had hoped.”

Isabella’s mind went back to thinking about Chris… Why was she thinking about him? Why did she feel connected to him? He was a jerk! A cocky, smart-ass, jerk who ran after girls that were completely opposite to her. Isabella self consciously rubbed her stomach, she was a bit on the curvy side, but at times she didn’t let it bother her too much… Thinking about Chris was not one of those times. Isabella just wanted to go to sleep and forget about ever meeting Chris. Hopefully, she wouldn’t run into him tomorrow. Isabella hugged her mom once more and then went into her room where she fell asleep almost instantaneously on her bed.

[italiannna]

Awww thanks Fiji.... Anyways to whomever is reading, here's chapter 3



Chapter 3


Chris Halliwell orbed into his home after hearing a call from his older brother. Expecting to be faced with a demonic attack, he prepared himself for the worst. What he found was the exact opposite. He orbed into the attic in his home to find his brother and his mother hovered over the Book of Shadows. At the sight of her son, Piper Halliwell sighed in relief. Chris walked to where the pair was standing, and he was pretty annoyed. He was having a great time talking to Isabella and was interrupted for no reason.

“This had better be good, I was busy.” Chris’s older brother, Wyatt rolled his eyes at the tone his brother was using.

“For your information Chris, this is very important.” Stated Wyatt.

“Yeah well couldn’t it wait until I came home?”

“You were late coming home Chris, and you didn’t even call to say you were alright. We worried.” Said a calm Piper. She didn’t want an argument to arise from this. At the sound of her voice, both Chris and Wyatt relaxed a bit.

“What time is it exactly?”

“5:30.” Said Wyatt, who then looked back down to an entry in the book. Chris smacked his head at his stupidity. He was supposed to be home at 3:00, but he had been so caught up with Isabella that he completely forgot the time. That would the very last time he got distracted by a girl. He couldn’t afford to lose his head again over a girl.

“Wow, I’m sorry Wy; I didn’t realize how fast time flies… Ok let’s just forget about this and move onto what the important news is.”

Wyatt couldn’t help but smirk at Chris’s comment. He wondered what it was that got him so distracted. He would interrogate him later; right now they had more important issues to deal with. Wyatt turned the book around to show Chris the entry that he and Piper had been looking at earlier.

“We think we may have found the demon in your dreams.” Chris took a closer look at the demon. We see that it is the exact same demon that had been attacking Isabella and her family.

“That’s him, that’s the demon who keeps attacking me….” Piper walked to her youngest son side and looked at him. Chris began to read from the book.

“Dolintar, mid level demon. His main mission along with the mission of his clan is to stop the rose from reaching the light.” Chris stopped reading and got a confused look on his face. Piper and Wyatt looked at each other. When they had read that passage earlier, they could not understand what it meant.

“Stop the rose from reaching the light… What does that mean?” Chris shook his head and continued to read the passage.

“Powers include energy balls, conjuration, shimmering, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis. I guess he looks like some bad ass.”

“Chris! Language!” Piper snapped at him, Wyatt chuckled in the background and Chris shot him a dirty look. Wyatt stopped laughing but couldn’t take the smile off his face. Chris rolled his eyes and looked back at the page.

“There’s no mention of a way to vanquish him. I guess that means that a spell and potion might work.” Chris stepped away from the book and headed towards the potions cabinet. Piper stopped him from getting out materials.

“Chris, don’t jump into this, we need to figure out more stuff about him before running into some battle.”

“But mom, what if he attacks, for real this time? My dreams must be warning me of something.” Chris looked to Wyatt for support. Wyatt walked up to where Chris had been standing. He nodded in agreement to what Chris was saying.

“He’s right mom, I mean he could attack at any random moment, at least if we go after him, we get the element of surprise on our side.” Piper looked at her sons and shook her head. She even laughed a bit.

“I hate it when you two gang up on me. But, I still don’t want you to go. It’s too dangerous. I don’t want anything to happen to you boys.”

Piper got a sad look on her face. Wyatt gently rubbed his mother’s shoulders. Piper had lost her two sisters not too long ago. They had gone into a battle unprepared, and they almost didn’t survive from it. The only reason that they did survive was because Wyatt had arrived just in time to heal them. After that event, they all retired from demon hunting. Paige had moved to New York with her family, and Phoebe had moved to Los Angeles. Piper still lived in the Manor and she now just helped guide her boys through the demon fighting. Although Paige and Phoebe were still alive, ever since the attack, the sisters were not as close as they used to be, and that hurt Piper so much. Wyatt had moved out not too long ago, but Chris was still living in the Manor. Chris didn’t want to leave his parents vulnerable to another attack, and plus, he had no money to get his own place. Chris looked at his mother. He didn’t want to upset her.

“Ok mom, we’ll hold back for a little and come up with a plan.”

Wyatt gave a confused look to Chris. Chris answered with a ‘relax, ok?’ type of look. Piper looked at both her sons. She smiled at them.

“I’m gonna go down to make supper. Are you staying for supper Wyatt?”

“Yeah, I guess. It’s been a while since I’ve had one of your home cooked meals.” Piper smiled and then left the room. As soon as she left, Wyatt started questioning Chris.

“So, what was that all about?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The whole attitude bit you pulled when you got here.”

“I wasn’t in a good mood ok?”

“You are such a bad liar… Now tell me, what was it you were so busy doing? Was it… a girl?” Wyatt raised his eyebrows to tease Chris. Chris just rolled his eyes.

“Whatever Wyatt.” Chris started to walk out of the room, when he heard Wyatt laughing in the background.

“I may be wrong, but the ever-so-single Chris just might have a girlfriend…. Is she nice Chris? Or did you creep her out within the first few minutes of meeting her?” Chris grew tired of Wyatt’s teasing.

“Shut it Wyatt. Ok, I was with a girl, but she means nothing to me ok? I was just showing her around. She’s new.”

Wyatt shook his head in an “I so do not believe you” manner. Chris waved his hands to ignore Wyatt. While he was exiting, he heard faint kissing sounds coming from Wyatt. Chris turned back and threw a pillow to Wyatt telekinetically. Wyatt started laughing and threw the pillow back at Chris. Chris dodged it. He laughed. He then went to sit on the couch next to Wyatt.

“Seriously now, you were late for about two hours because you were with this girl, and you’re telling me that she means nothing to you?”

“No ok? And can we stop talking about her?”

Chris didn’t want to think about Isabella anymore, even if her image was splattered all across the contours of his mind. He didn’t want to go there again. Falling for a girl, trusting the girl, loving the girl, and then having her break his heart in two. It was too painful for him and he just felt that he should forget about Isabella completely. Well, they could be friends, but nothing more. She wouldn’t understand the fact that he was half witch, half whitelighter.

“Fine, we’ll stop talking about her. How about we talk about this current demon?”

“I’m still trying to figure out what the Book meant when it said ‘prevent the light from reaching the rose’”

“The Book is known for giving cryptic answers, this must tie into some ancient prophecy, or maybe it ties to an innocent. It could mean anything.”

The boys heard Piper call them down for dinner. Wyatt orbed downstairs. Chris sat in the Attic and thought more about what the Book said. After the third call from Piper, Chris orbed to the kitchen.

Dinner and the rest of the night of the night passed by smoothly and regularly. After eating, Chris and Wyatt cleaned up the dishes, while Piper and Leo relaxed on the couch. After cleaning the dishes, Wyatt said goodbye to everyone and orbed back home. Chris then went up to his room and started to listen to music.

After a few hours, Chris began to feel very tired. He closed his music and got ready for bed. Chris had just begun to fall asleep when it happened. He had another vision. In his vision, Chris saw the demon Dolintar attacking a young woman in her apartment. Chris was unable to the woman’s face, but she looked quite powerful. He saw her defend herself for a little while, but for a second it looked like she was going to lose the battle, when he saw the demon just shimmer out. It was then that Chris burst out of his sleep. There was sweat falling down his face and he was shivering.

“Innocent found…” he said to himself. Chris looked at the time. It was only 2:00. He groaned, and went back to sleep.

He never figured out that the innocent in his dream was Isabella.

[italiannna]

For those reading... Here's the next Chapter


Chapter 4


The next day, Isabella woke up pretty early. She made breakfast for her mom. She felt bad for what she said to her last night. She knew her mom just wanted to protect her and do what was best for her. Isabella made some eggs and by the time she was done, her mother had come downstairs. Selena smiled at the sight of breakfast in front of her. Isabella smiled.

“Good morning mom.”

“Good morning sweetie. What’s this all about?”

“I felt bad about yesterday, so I made some breakfast to say sorry.”

“Oh, Isabella, don’t worry about it, I’m fine. How is your arm doing?” Isabella looked at the burn mark. It still looked pretty bad, but Isabella knew it would get better soon enough.

“It hurts a bit, but I’ll be fine mom. Don’t worry about it.”

Selena went to hug Isabella. Isabella smiled and hugged her mom back. She then excused herself to go get dressed. Isabella decided to go a bit more casual today. She chose to wear some regular jeans with a regular red top with a logo of one of her favorite bands. When putting it over her wound, she winced at the pain. For sure, she was going to get asked about it, she would just lie and say she had a small accident with the cooking. Isabella then went on to looking at some of her jewelry. She decided to wear her favorite necklace. It was a golden chain with a small rose hanging from it. Her mother had given it to her when she turned eighteen. Her mother said that it was a part of her destiny. She never understood what that meant. She just assumed that because her family’s symbol was a rose, and she just assumed that her mother’s words meant that the family torch was being handed down to her. Isabella washed her hair and blow dried it. It looked good, like it was styled. Isabella smiled. She sprayed on some perfume and headed back downstairs. Her mother looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“Isabella, you look really nice today.”

“Umm, thanks Mom.” Isabella gave her mom a weird look. Her mom just smiled at her.

“Why are you looking at me like that Mom?”

“Nothing Isabella…. You should hurry up and get to school.”

Her mother’s smile was so warm, but also very suggesting. Isabella raised her eyebrows, but then decided to just ignore it and head off to school. Isabella arrived at her school about 30 minutes early. She was really paranoid when it came to time. She would always be rushing everywhere thinking she was late, and then actually arrive super early. She wandered the hallways. She tried to remember her tour from the day before. So far she remembered where the library was, where the computer lab was, and where the student offices were. She was also starting to get a hang of figuring out where each building was. She smiled to herself, she was a fast learner and she liked that about herself. Sooner or later, it came time for Isabella to head to her class. She looked at her schedule and according to it, she had a Psychology course. She looked at her watch, she’d still be early, but she didn’t care, she wanted to get a good seat in class.

It didn’t take Isabella long to find her class, within a matter of 5 minutes, she was already inside. She looked at the vacant seats and chose one right next to a window. As the time passed, more and more students entered the classroom. Isabella watched as each student took their places. Isabella looked to her side, the seat was still empty.

Finally, the teacher entered the classroom. The teacher looked quite young, maybe in her early thirties? The teacher began to explain the rules of the classroom and what the course was about. About ten minutes into the period, there was a knock on the door. The teacher had just finished explaining that she did not like late people. Isabella laughed at the irony and she wondered who the poor soul was. She looked and saw as the figure was revealed to be Chris. Isabella’s jaw dropped. She couldn’t believe her bad luck. She had wanted to avoid him, and now she had another class with him. Chris smiled at her in an awkward way. The teacher made a funny remark about how she didn’t want to see this happening again, and then motioned for Chris to sit down. Chris walked around and took the only available seat, the one right next to Isabella. Isabella started to get nervous, and when she got nervous, she would fiddle with anything she was wearing. That day she started fiddling with her rose necklace. Her eyes soon met with Chris’s and he waved at her. Isabella raised two fingers to answer. She then concentrated on what the teacher was saying.

After the ninety minute lecture, the students were free to go. Isabella quickly made her way outside to avoid any more contact with Chris. She was walking really fast when she heard the familiar voice shout out from behind her.

“Isabella! Wait up.”

DAMMIT! Why can’t he just take a hint? Isabella stopped and turned around. Chris was standing not too far away from her. Isabella crossed her arms across her chest and looked at him in a ‘what do you want’ kind of look.

“What is it Chris?” Chris was taken aback from her attitude. What was wrong with her? Chris then noticed the gauze bandage on her arm. It looked really suspicious. Chris went up to Isabella and went to grab her arm, but she pulled it away.

“What happened to your arm?”

“Nothing, I just had an accident in the kitchen, that’s all.”

“Really? What did you do, cut your arm, burn it?”

“I burned it ok? And I don’t see how this is any of your business.”

“What’s your problem? Yesterday we were laughing and having a good time.”

“Yeah well, let’s just say that I saw some things that I didn’t want to see.” When Chris heard that, he rolled his eyes. Was she serious? Was she mad just because he had to rush off? He couldn’t believe this. He shook his head.

“Look, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t have time for these games.”

“Wow, what a coincidence, neither do I. Look Chris, you’re a cool guy, at least I thought you were. But, if you’re going to just leave in the middle of a good conversation to chase after some beach blonde bimbo, then I can’t deal with this. I’ve had enough of this sh!t when I was New York and I swore I wouldn’t get tangled up in it again. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get going!”

Chris’s jaw dropped as he watched Isabella walk away. He was shocked at what Isabella said. She gravely misunderstood the situation. Chris wasn’t chasing after some random chick; he didn’t even notice any other girl. Chris got so angry, how dare she act that way? He didn’t have time for this. Chris began walking away, when he noticed something on the floor. He picked it up, it was a rose necklace. As soon as Chris placed both his hands on it, he got a huge feeling in his heart. It was overwhelming. Chris gasped and needed to hold onto the wall in order to prevent himself from falling onto the floor. He felt as if his heart was being broken, he felt so much pain in his heart. Sooner or later, the pain went away. Chris took in a few deep breaths and composed himself. He took a closer look at the necklace. It had a link of a rose, but it also had another link with a name on it… Girardo.

“Isabella” Chris whispered.

[Fiji221]

*claps* love it!

[hallie4wyatt]

Umm yo, you do know Bianca's alive right? you know Chris's fiance, though Isabella's cool, I think Chris and Bianca go much better. I love the way you've written it, but I don't like the fact that you've completely ignored Bianca and Billie so far! Sorry to burst your bubble but hey, some one had to do it!

[Fiji221]

hallie4wyatt, this is her fanfiction. Bianca and Billie may not even exist in it. Most fanfics actually don't follow the show exactly, the writers like to make up characters and get rid of characters.

[AjentAnjel :)]

its called a FANFICTION, meaning, the fan determines the fate of the story. they use the characters they want, and dont use the characters they dont want. u create ur own idea of what u think would be cool based off of the personalities of the characters u like. its creative expression. not a spin off, or another episode that was unwritten. its her idea, and her creation, so she has the right to put who and take out who she wants.

[italiannna]

I wanna start off by saying a heartfelt thanks to Fiji and Mindy for defending my fic...

Now to tell you, hallie4wyatt, how I feel about you writing something like that...

I'll admit that I appreciate constructive criticizm (sp?) about plot ideas and where i could go with this fic... BUT, when someone comes to me and disses my fic because I didn't follow the show... then THAT pisses me off! So what I'm about to say might get you mad or upset... But you know what? I don't care because what you said to me got my mad and upset and I have a right to defend my fic!

Number 1): This is my own idea of a Chris story... And a fan fic is just that, a fiction made up by a fan. I can ignore Bianca and Billie if I want to. There is no rule that says I HAVE to make Chris and Bianca a couple... And why would I include Billie in this fic if I couldn't even stand the sight of her???

Number 2): I am not the only person on this board who changes reality to suit thier own imaginations... Why are you breathing down my neck? Why not go diss someone else who likes to add imaginary characters?

Number 3): So far this fic has gotten a heck of a lot of appreciation! And not just from this board but from others as well. Looks to me like I'm not the only one who likes to see Chris with someone new and likes to see a future withour Billie...

Sorry to burst your bubble hun, but that's just the way life is... You can diss someone but just expect them to fire back!

Once again, I apologize for my anger... There's just some things that really get on my nerves.

Umm yo, you do know Bianca's alive right? you know Chris's fiance, though Isabella's cool, I think Chris and Bianca go much better. I love the way you've written it, but I don't like the fact that you've completely ignored Bianca and Billie so far! Sorry to burst your bubble but hey, some one had to do it!

Hallie, this is VERY disrespectful. As the definition of a FAN FICTION has already been said, I won't repeat it. As you can see by my user name and banner, I'm a DIE-hard Bianca fan, but I would never dare to b!tch and moan about a fan fic that didn't include her or have B/C in it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and style. Rocker has EVER right to hook up Chris with whom ever she chooses. If you do not like a certain major aspect of a FF, then DO NOT READ IT. Leave it be and do not comment.


Side note, Congrats, Nu, on winning FF of October, and I promise, one of these days, I'll read this, despite my B/C obsession. I would never hold not having B/C in a fic against you.

[vanillabliss]

lol wow drama even on these boards. Rocker Child, this is great story just ignore what Hallie said.

[italiannna]

Yeah I know, Mistress. But whatever! Thanks to those who defended this fic. Innywho, here's the next chapter to this fic, enjoy!



Chapter 5


Isabella walked faster and faster away from Chris. She couldn’t let him see how she was feeling at that moment. She ran into a girl’s washroom and locked the door. She then proceeded to cry. Tears were running down her face as she thought back on what she said to him.

I’ve had enough of this $h!t when I was New York and I swore I wouldn’t get tangled up in it again…Chase after some beach blonde bimbo…I can’t deal with this…Can’t deal with this…

Isabella began to think back to her past in New York. She thought about the boys that caused her to be so paranoid. The boys who each time broke her heart and left it to bleed on the floor. The first one had been Jason. Isabella had a crush on Jason for the longest time, and she had been so happy when he had finally asked her out. Turns out the not a very nice person had been playing her the whole time and was betting with his buddies to see if she would take the bait. Isabella punched the wall as she remembered him. Ricky had been the next one. Isabella liked him because he seemed like a nice guy. When she told him how she felt, he laughed in her face and made fun of her with his friends. That hurt her so much. The next one hurt the most. It was her first boyfriend, his name was Jonathan. Isabella and Jonathan had been dating for almost a year when she caught him cheating on her with one of the prettier girls in school. When Isabella caught them, she ended the relationship on the spot. It had hurt her so much even afterwards. She would lie in bed all day. The only time that she would get out of bed was when it was time for her to go to school. Even then, she wouldn’t pay attention to her classes, and her grades suffered a bit. Eventually, she got over it, but that still left a deep wound in her heart. One that she was experiencing right at that moment. Isabella clutched her heart as the pain started to sear through her once more. Isabella fell on the floor and began crying so much as the pain of heartbreak. After a few minutes of crying, Isabella began to breathe more slowly and began to calm down. Isabella had no idea that at the exact same time, Chris was experiencing the same feelings she was. She washed her face and made sure the tear marks were gone.

Isabella took one last look at the mirror and noticed that her necklace was gone. She began to panic! Where did it go?? It must have fallen off! But where?? Isabella ran out of the bathroom and began to retrace her steps. Even though she looked in every place that she’s been to in the last few minutes she could find it anywhere! Isabella ran her hands through her hair in despair. She decided to go to the Lost and Found office to see if anyone had found her necklace.

************************************************************************

Chris had spent the last few minutes running everywhere to find Isabella. It was all starting to click together. The rose… the vision… the strong intrigue he felt when he saw her… She was his innocent! The demon was after her! He needed to find her and protect her. He searched everywhere, but could not find her. He swore silently to himself. He then looked at the rose necklace, and then decided to try and use it to sense her. Chris went outside and sat on a bench and tried to concentrate on finding Isabella. Chris held the necklace close to him… Close to his heart. He then opened his eyes as he felt her nearby. She was at the Lost and Found office. Chris assumed she was looking for her necklace. Chris got off of the bench and ran for the office. He didn’t notice the dark figure looming behind some trees. The dark figure snarled in anger before shimmering away.

Chris ran as fast as he could to the Lost and Found office. He knew he could have orbed, but that wouldn’t be a good idea seeing as he was in a public University. He finally arrived at the office, but Isabella was not there. Chris asked the man at the counter if he’d seen a woman fitting Isabella’s description in the office. The man said that she had just left. Chris shook his head and scratched the top of his head. He thanked the man and continued to look for Isabella. He assumed that she had another class, and decided to go to his own classes and hopefully try to meet up with her later on, if not, then he would just have to scry for her at home.

After a few of his classes had passed, Chris was walking to get a drink of water, when he spotted Isabella in the background. He started running to her, shouting her name. She couldn’t hear him. Chris kept running to her and shouting her name. Students were getting in the way, which made it difficult for Chris to get to Isabella. He grew tired of this; he began to push past students and sooner or later was finally very close to her. He called her name one last time and smiled as she turned around. His smiled turned into a frown as she glared at him. Chris reached out for her and grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty classroom. He then closed the door behind them. Isabella pulled her arm away from him and shoved him.

“Who the hell do you think you are?”

“I’m someone who has found something important to you!”

“What are you talking about?”

With that, Chris tossed Isabella’s necklace to her. Isabella caught it and looked at it. Her eyes opened up in happiness. She held her necklace close to her heart and smiled. She then looked back up at Chris who now had his hands crossed his chest and a very annoyed look on his face. Isabella tucked some hair behind her ear and approached Chris.

“Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me.”

Chris’s expression softened and he nodded at her.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s a very interesting necklace. It looks to be very old.”

“Yeah… it belonged to my great-grandmother. It was passed down to each generation, until me. I now have it. It means a lot to me, I got so worried when I lost it.”

“So it’s a family heirloom?”

“Yeah, it is.”

Chris nodded and went to sit down on one of the desks. Isabella looked around awkwardly, she was about to leave, when Chris spoke again.

“I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression yesterday.”

“What do you mean?”

“When you thought I was chasing after that girl… I wasn’t. I just had to leave at that very moment.”

Isabella looked down and shook her head; she didn’t feel like going through this complication. She knew that if Chris was telling the truth, then she couldn’t find anything wrong with him. That means that she would start to like him more. She would then start to like him in more ways then in a friendship way, which meant leaving a wide opening for him to hurt her.

“Chris… I don’t want to talk about this… Look what’s done is done. I just wanna forget about it.”

“Look, I understand how you feel ok? I’ve had bad experiences to.”

“How can you even begin to know how I feel? You barely even know me!”

“I know that you’re not like the other girls…”

“So what? Look Chris, just forget it ok? I can’t do this anymore… I won’t do this anymore! So can you please just leave me alone from now on?”

“Fine, whatever.”

Isabella then took that chance to leave the room. After Isabella left the room, Chris got up and started to walk around the classroom. He didn’t see the sinister figure shimmer in. The creature sent a telekinetic wave in Chris direction. It hit him directly and sent him flying into the teacher’s desk. Chris got up and saw the demon that he kept seeing in his dreams… Dolintar. Chris checked to see if the door was locked and if all the windows were covered. When that was settled, he proceeded to try and blow Dolintar up. At first, it looked like Dolintar was vanquished, but then he reformed much to Chris surprise. He then conjured a draklighter’s cross bow and shot an arrow in Chris’s direction. Chris eyes opened up wide with fear as he saw the arrow head straight for him. Chris orbed out of the way and barley missed it. He orbed back behind Dolintar. He was about to send him flying into some more desks, when he suddenly turned around and grabbed Chris’s neck. The triquetra necklace started to glow. Dolintar got distracted, when he did, Chris managed to get free of his grip. In doing so, he caused his necklace to rip from its rope and was sent flying onto the floor. Neither Chris nor Dolintar noticed it. Chris was gasping for breath. Dolintar saw this as his golden moment and sent Chris smashing into the classroom wall, where he was knocked out cold. Dolintar smiled and bent down to shimmer out with him.

Meanwhile, Isabella was starting to walk away from the classroom. She put her necklace on and touched the rose. It felt very warm to her. Then it suddenly started glowing… very brightly! Isabella took off the necklace and looked at it. She suddenly felt the strong urge to go back to the classroom. At first, Isabella ignored it and continued to walk away from the classroom when her necklace glowed brighter and brighter and the urge to go back became stronger and stronger. Isabella finally caved and ran back to the classroom. When she got to it, she saw the demon bent over Chris ready to shimmer out with him. Isabella sent and electric bolt at him, which sent him back a few steps. Dolintar responded by telekinetically throwing her across the room and into some desks. Dolintar then quickly grabbed Chris and shimmered out with him. Isabella quickly got up, but it was too late, they were gone.

“No…. Oh my God…”

Isabella put her hands to her face and tried to hold back tears. Dolintar had taken Chris… an innocent person caught in her own stupid mess. What did he want with Chris? Dolintar had always been after Isabella and her family. Isabella looked around and vowed to herself that she would find him and make him pay. Dolintar would not take another person from her. Isabella them looked down and saw the still glowing Triquetra necklace on the floor. Isabella picked it up and looked at it. She then ran out of the classroom and started on her way home.

I will find you Chris… I swear it.

Yay! A new reader! Welcome Jenna! I'm so glad you like my story! Anyways, here's another installment of this fan fic, I hope you guys enjoy it!


Chapter 6


Isabella arrived home, out of breath and with tears flowing down her face. She slammed her door and ran to find her spell book. Her mother came and found Isabella frantically looking through the book.

“Isabella!!!! What happened? Che su ceso?? (What’s wrong)?”

Isabella looked up at her mother with her tear stained face, and could not hold it in any longer. She ran to her mother and began crying uncontrollably on her shoulder. Selena held her daughter close to her and tried to comfort her.

“Mamma!! He took him! He took him! It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t left him all alone, I could’ve helped him… It’s all my fault Mamma!”

Isabella was inconsolable. She blamed herself entirely for what had happened to Chris. He was an innocent person; he did not deserve what had happened to him. He was an innocent by stander… Isabella had just spoken to him… She felt no feelings for him… Didn’t she? She had no idea anymore; all she knew was that she needed to find him and fast. She broke away from her mother’s hug and ran back to her book. Selena walked behind her daughter and tried to calm the crying young woman down, but Isabella didn’t want comfort, she wanted to find Chris.

“Isabella, per favore (please), you need to calm down…”

“No! I can’t calm down Ma! He’s been taken by Dolintar! I have to find him.”

“Who has been taken by Dolintar Isabella?”

“My friend Chris… God! Why did I leave him in the room alone??? I am so stupid!”

Isabella slammed the book shut and walked to the couch. She stared at it for a few seconds and then began to punch the pillows very violently. She punched them harder and harder. Each time she kept repeating “I’m so stupid!” and she kept crying onto the pillows. She finally stopped and crumbled to the floor. She felt very vulnerable and defeated. Selena ran to her daughter and pulled her close to her.

“Don’t worry we will find him… There must be some way that we can get a clue as to where he is.”

Isabella then remembered Chris’s necklace. She reached into her pocket and took out Chris’s necklace and looked at it. She felt the little silver hoops around her fingers. One of her tears fell on the silver necklace. The moment it hit the silver Triquetra, it began glowing very brightly. Her rose necklace also began to glow brightly. Selena’s eyes widened when she saw the necklaces glowing. She reached to her daughter’s hand and gently touched the necklace.

“Isabella…. That necklace… Does it belong to your friend Chris?”

Isabella nodded and stared in shock as the necklace continued to glow. She didn’t understand why the necklace was glowing. Even more so, she didn’t understand why her own necklace was glowing. She placed Chris’s necklace on her table and took off her own necklace. She placed it right beside Chris’s and stared at them. They were telling her something, but she could not figure out what it was. Selena meanwhile was staring out in disbelief at what her daughter had just told her. She looked at the Triquetra and automatically knew who Chris really was. Before she could tell her daughter, Isabella’s head shot up and she bolted to her room.

“Isabella? What are you…?”

Isabella came back into the room with her scrying tools. Her whole life, she had been using scrying with her mother and she was hoping that it would help in finding Chris. She held his necklace in one hand along with the string and the stone, and on the other hand, she held her own necklace. Isabella closed her eyes and focused entirely on Chris. The two glowing necklaces had shown her that she was somehow connected to Chris. She didn’t know how or why, but she felt it when then necklaces were glowing and she was able to feel it now as she was trying to find him. Selena just stared in wonder and decided not to bother her daughter.

************************************************************************

Chris opened his eyes and looked around at where he was being held. It was very dark and very cold and very wet. He got up and tried walking around. When he did, he was shocked. He tried orbing out but was rebounded right back to where he was before. Chris sat up and looked around him and saw crystals. He tried to call for one, but it just shocked his hand. Chris yelped out in pain and shook his hand. The noise he made caused Dolintar to shimmer in.

“Well well, looks like you’ve woken up, young whitelighter.”

“Yeah and thanks to this little cage you set up, I won’t be going back to sleep in a while.”

Chris rolled his eyes and replied in a sarcastic tone. Dolintar was angered by his smart ass tone and shot a fire ball at Chris. It startled him and caused him to jump back. In doing do, he hit the cage and was shocked again. It hurt a lot, but Chris just held it in. Dolintar saw that it caused Chris pain and he smiled.

“What’s the matter little witch? Is this cage too much for the son of a Charmed One?”

Chris glared at the demon. He was about to answer back to him, but then again, he didn’t want to feel that shock again. He just decided to ask him what it was he wanted.

“Ok, so you’ve done bragging, so how about you tell me what you want with me? Is it to show off that you’re Mr. Big Demon for capturing a Charmed Son? I hope you know that my brother Wyatt will figure out where I am, and as soon as he does, you’re pretty much toast.”

Dolintar just chuckled at Chris’s comment. He walked up to the cage and bent down to Chris level.

“I’m not worried about your brother Christopher. I can handle him. I’m worried about the prophecy.”

“What prophecy? What are you talking about?”

Dolintar lifted himself up and looked up in the air. He smiled maliciously.

“It looks like we’re expecting a visitor.”

With that he shimmered out and left Chris alone on the floor. Chris tried to get up again but kept getting shocked back down. He bent his head down and began to think. How did he get into this mess? He knew what it was… He was worried about Isabella. This was the same demon that had attacked Isabella in his vision, he was sure of it. Maybe this prophecy that Dolintar was talking about was connected to her… But then what did he have to do with it? He thought back to the entry on Dolintar in the Book of Shadows.

Prevent the rose from reaching the light…Prevent the rose from reaching the light… Prevent the rose from reaching the light…

Chris’s head shot up for a brief second. Could Isabella be the rose? If that was true, then the demon was really after Isabella and was using Chris as bait. He was so stupid, if that was true then Isabella was in trouble and there was nothing he could do about it. Chris rested his head on his knees and thought of a way to get out.

************************************************************************

It had been about 15 minutes that Isabella had been scrying. She wasn’t finding anything and it was starting to annoy her. Funny thing was that she never broke her concentration. She could feel a pull on her heart, and with each passing moment, the pull grew stronger and stronger. She held on tightly to the necklace and she suddenly felt it heating up, along with her rose necklace. The crystal on the string suddenly flew out of Isabella’s hand on landed on the floor, but Isabella could not stop focusing on Chris, that connection was far too strong. She thought of Chris… She thought of his smile, of his eyes, of his sweet personality. She thought of everything about him and she just wished she could find him and get to him.

Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker on and off. A gust of wind surrounded the determined witch. Selena watched in fear as bright white lights began to surround her daughter. Isabella kept her eyes shut and continued to find the connection she had with Chris. Isabella suddenly felt her head spinning widely and felt nauseous. The feeling lasted for about 5 seconds and when it ended, Isabella was so shocked that she lost her footing and fell to the floor.

What the hell just happened??? Where am I???

Isabella was forced to open her eyes. She looked around her. She was in a very cold and very dark place. She got up and turned around. On the other side, she saw a figure inside a crystal cage. Isabella ran to the figure and saw that it was Chris. When Isabella saw him, her heart sped up.

“Chris?! Oh my God! Are you alright?”

Chris shot up his head to the sound of a familiar voice. When he saw Isabella standing inches away from him, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Was he dreaming? Only a few seconds ago, he was thinking about her and now there she was standing right in front of him.

“Isabella? What are you doing here? How did you even get here?”

“I wish I knew Chris. I have to get you out of here.”

Isabella walked up to the crystal cage that held Chris inside. She was about to kick a crystal aside, when she felt herself being thrown across the cave. Chris’s anger started to grow as he saw Isabella getting shot across the cave. Isabella got up and came face to face with Dolintar. She glared at him, her eyes turning icy blue again.

“Come to join the party Isabella?”

“You and I both know it’s me you really want. So why did you have to pull in an innocent person like Chris?”

Chris snapped his head at Isabella as she conversed with Dolintar. Why was she calling him an innocent? She was the innocent, not him! Chris was about to say something when Dolintar laughed. He looked to Chris and then back to Isabella.

“It doesn’t matter now. What matters is that I’ve got you right where I want you Isabella.”

With that, Dolintar sent a straight streak of rapid fire energy balls. Isabella levitated and was able to dodge a great deal of them. The last one hit her leg sent her hurtling to the wall. Isabella cried in pain and grabbed her leg. She was also feeling the pain in her arm again. Chris watched in shock as Isabella levitated. He was finally seeing her in her true colors. When she was hit and was sent crashing into the wall, Chris grew furious.

“NO! Isabella!!!”

When he tried to get up again, he ran right into the crystal cage and was shocked again. Isabella watched as Chris was getting shocked. The anger and emotional pain she felt at this caused her to get past the physical pain that she felt in her leg and in her arm. She stood up tall in front of Dolintar. Dolintar growled at her. He was fearing that the prophecy would come to pass, and he could not let that happen. He conjured an athame and shot it at Isabella. She quickly turned invisible and dodged it. Dolintar became very agitated at this move. He stood quietly and listened for anything. Invisible, Isabella crept up behind Dolintar and was about to shock him with electricity, when he suddenly turned around and threw her into the wall with tremendous force. Isabella lifted her head up for 2 seconds and then everything went black.
