Red n Black Roses: First off all, your name rocks! Second of all, yeah get used to me ending my chapters at the most inappropriate places. Lol!
Lizardmomma: I dunno if you meant me showing Isabella's past or if you meant Chris being taken and becoming the innocent… Thanks for the review.
Angelayzn: Thanks for the compliment. Glad to know some likes my writing styles. I usually think I'm too extreme with drama.
Kylelara: This focuses mostly on Chris and Isabella… I will have some Wyatt and Piper in here, but they won't show up for very long… Plus Wyatt can't sense for Chris, he's in the Underworld and I have other plans on how Chris gets out…

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?"
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.
"Mom!! 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 Mon!"
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 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, are you done bragging? 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.
