Chapter 1

ISABELLA'S POV

I curled myself into a ball before the man kicked me in the stomach once again. But instead of kicking me again, he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up, slamming me against the cold brick wall. He continued to yell, but I couldn't hear over the loud ringing in my ear. He removed one hand on my collar and punched me in the side. I screamed as the pain shot through my small, weak body. I tried to yell, but my sobbing would't let me. When he retracted his arm to punch me again, a voice stopped him.

"Let her go now!"

He turned his head towards the stranger who spoke up.

"Get outta here ya little punk. This is none of your business. You didn't see anything." the mugger who was beating me up growled.

The stranger took a step forward.

"I said get out of here! Scram!"

I slowly turned my head to the stranger.

I couldn't quite see him clearly, for all the tears blurred my vision. All I could make out was a tall, thin man with red hair.

The mugger turned back to me. As he was about to hit me again, I heard a loud clang and the mugger instantly fell to the ground, pulling me with him. I slumped to the ground and let out a shaky sigh of relief. I laid my head back and closed my eyes, not even responding to the loud footsteps that seemed to be coming closer.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" I heard a frantic voice say.

I tried to open my eyes, but with the little strength I had, I couldn't. I tried to speak, but all that came out was mumbling.

"Don't worry, I got'cha," he whispered,"You'll be alright."

As soon has he said that, I felt arms wrap around me and pick me up bridal-style. My head rested on his shoulder and my right hand hung down. I heard the sound of a car door opening, then felt the stranger place me on a soft cushion. I felt him let go the fiddle with something before wrapping it around my waist and clicking it into place. He shut the door then climbed into the drivers seat. I tried to say 'thank you' but all that came out was more mumbling.

"Don't worry, we'll be at the hospital soon. Just sit tight and you'll be okay" He cooed with sympathy.

I nodded my head even though he couldn't see.

Then, I blacked out.

I feel a bit cruel for Isabella and Phineas to see each other for the first time, but it worked. Please review.
