A/N-Just a filler chapter and to clarify some details about why Amethyst felt justified for her actions. I also will forgo with the chapter names because I have no clue what to make them and I was never any good at it in the first place. So please read and review.


Chapter 6

Isis' POV

I came awake with a scream lodged in my throat. I then instantly gripped my side as a sudden burst of pain rippled through it at me having pulled loose a couple stitches. "It's ok. You're safe now," I heard a voice say from next to the bed. Danny then came into my line of sight and I remembered the events of my rescue.

"Father," I croaked out through my sore throat.

"He's fine. See." He pointed to the other side of the bed. I looked over to see papa lying in an awkward position in the rocking chair that used to belong to my mother. I sat up and immediately regretted it as I became dizzy and my vision blurred. Groaning I laid back against the wall and placed my bandaged hand between my eyes to help relieve some of the pain ebbing there.

"How long have I been out," I rasped out as my vision began to clear.

"Three days. As far as the school is aware, you have been sick and I've been helping your father take care of you." He then came up to me and placed a hand to my forehead. "Your fever has gone down."

I looked over at my father just as he was waking up. "Hey papa," I said as he finally noticed that I was really up and not a figment of his imagination.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, teleporting the three feet from the chair to the bed.

"A little sore." I tried to get up but father gently, but firmly, pushed me back down.

"No you don't. I already almost lost you once. I'm not going to take the chance that you accidently pull out your stitches. Now, what did you need?"

"Restroom," I said right before I teleported to said destination.

Phobos' POV

I can't believe that she's awake. Strong as ever, just like Amy. Just like her mother. I fixed her bed and got some more medical bandages and peroxide to clean her wounds. As I went about setting everything up, Danny went to get her something to eat. A few minutes later Isis teleported back into her bed.

I took her hand and uncovered the cut there and I couldn't help but thinking that all of her injuries were my fault. If I had only been here when she needed me.

I patiently cleaned her wounds, constantly chastising myself and thinking about what would still be happening to her if Danny hadn't recognized the ghost in the photo. I had a harsh time after I lost Amy and Seth. If I hadn't convinced Amy to let Isis come with me, then I would have lost everyone I ever cared about.

After I was finished, Danny came back into the room with a ham sandwich and glass of water. I knew that she would still be hungry, but I didn't want her eating too much because she was still healing and the knife wounds come dangerously close to puncturing her organs.

"How are you feeling," Danny asked as she took a sip of water.

"I was just dissected by an evil ghost scientist for three days and you are asking me how I'm feeling," she said in a deadpan voice that read as are you stupid.

He rubbed the back of his neck nervously as I glared at him. "I think it's time for you to leave. Maybe you could inform Sam and Tucker that she woke up."

Isis' POV

Danny was just standing there and looking at me like I was a fragile flower who would crumble at any second. "I'm fine. Really. If you have somewhere else you need to be, I completely understand." I then flung my legs over the side of the bed. Ignoring the look my father passed to me, I stood up with a slight grimace. "See."

"Ok," he said reluctantly. "But if you need anything, call." With that he turned into a ghost and flew through the wall in the direction of his house, casting a worried glance over his shoulder.

"Papa. What happened to the angel," I asked as I turned around to look at him.

"I was forced to kill her." He looked down at the ground as he said those six simple words as if they would change my view of him.

"She said something while I was being held." He looked up at me with a wondering expression and nodded for me to continue. "She said that you were meant for her. That you broke her heart when you left." I didn't say the last part because I didn't want him to know the real reason she had taken me.

Apparently he already knew because he said "That she was punishing me by torturing you." I slowly nodded as I looked down at the floor. "It wasn't your fault. It was a promise that I did not agree to." He walked up to me and placed his arms around me in a tender yet firm embrace. "When we were fifteen, our parents got together and decided that, since we were such good friends, we would be the perfect husband and wife. So they created an agreement that when I turned twenty-one, if I hadn't done anything to dishonor either of our families, I would become Amethyst's husband." He let me go and sat on the edge of my bed motioning for me to sit next to him.

"When I was eighteen, I learned of this deal, but I had already fallen in love with someone else. Your mother." He looked at the picture of her that I had on the table beside my desk. "Angered that they had the nerve to make a deal involving me without my consent I ran away and Amy the next day that I loved her more than my life but couldn't see her anymore."

"What did she do?"

"She asked why I would say such a thing. She thought it had something to do with our different designations and the fact that it we were, technically, forbidden to date. I explained what my parents had done and that I was running away and that she should stay because her family needed her more than I did." He looked me in the eye so that I could see how serious he was being. "It felt like I would die when I said that I was leaving her, yet I knew that I had to let her go. If I had stayed, I would have had to marry Amethyst. I would have had to see your mother every day and think about how I loved her more than I loved the women I was tied to." He looked back to the picture and gave a slight chuckle, "Your mother quickly said that if I was leaving, then she was coming with me."

There was a slight sparkle in his eyes from the tears he was holding back at the memory. "I tried to convince her to stay but she said 'Life without you is no life I want to live'." He looked down but I could still see the tear slide down his check. "We left that night after her parents fell asleep. When Amethyst learned about the treaty and what I had done, she was furious. She came after me and demanded that I come back with her. That I, and I quote, fulfill the promise I had made. I explained that I had never agreed to it and that I refused to trap someone I didn't love in a marriage. She then stormed out threatening that she would make my life a living hell."

I quickly put all the clues and events together. "She killed mother, Seth and my ex, didn't she?"

"Yes. I am so sorry that you had to be dragged into my problems." He lifted his head up and looked at me with tears streaming down his face. "I never meant to cause you, or any of them, pain. All I wanted was to live a peaceful life with Amy." He hugged me and laid me back on the bed. "If not for you being here I would have given up on life a long time ago." He kissed my forehead and got up. "Get some rest. I'll wake you when it's time for dinner."

With that he left the room leaving me to ponder all that I had learned. I could still hear that bitch's voice as Vlad had "examined" me. "Cause as much pain as possible. I want Phobos to see this and know that he could have prevented it all from happening." She then took a knife and dragged it across the cat tattoo on my back. I flinched at the memory. In a way, I now understand why she felt justified for her actions. I fell into a restless sleep, reliving the torture that I had gone through and wondering why a love sick ghost would align himself with an angel.


A/N-So there's chapter six. I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review and flames are welcome. They help me become a stronger writer and I do care about people's opinions of my stories. If you want to see Isis paired with anyone, leave it in a comment and I can see if I could work it in, although I will not be doing a TuckerXIsis because they are not compatible.
