Disclaimer: I do not own Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman or anything that relates to that. That belongs to CBS INC. I am just borrowing them for a while. I just might keep Sully a little longer. All of the new and strange characters belong to me, even though I might want to sell Isabella! Maybe you would like her for a while?
Isabella Martiz did not think for one second that she had a normal life. It did not matter what culture one looked at. She lost her parents when she was four months old due to a brutal and deadly attack by U.S. soldiers and so her sister took care of her until she was two. When her uncle found out about her, they lived in a castle as princesses and they got whatever they wanted. Adrianna went off to train as an assassin so that she could kill U.S. soldiers for a living and her uncle, who she loved a lot, went and showed her some of the cool inventions they were making.
Her favorite thing to do when she was young was to explore the world. She explored the castle a lot and with the help of her cousins, she explored all of the secret areas there. She also liked to explore nature and find out why things happened the way they did. This need for knowledge led her to the college she was at and her intense love of physics. She loved making things and seeing why things acted that way, they did.
She had just gotten off from a somewhat hard day where she had piles of assignments to do by the next few days, that she did not realize that there was a note on her door. It took a while for her to comprehend anything at all. In fact, the only thing that she wanted to comprehend was the back of her eyelids, which she did, falling asleep very fast.
"Bella! Bella! Wake up you idiot!" Isabella slowly woke up, feeling very irked.
"What do you want Punta? I'm sure there's some hot man that you want to do, so just do him!"
Being that Isabella always talked to her best friend this way, she did not seem at all upset. She instead threw a rather large bucket of water on her face. This really upset Isabella.
"Whore! What the hell is your problem?" Isabella said it rather angrily.
"You got a telegram! It's from some place called Colorado Sprin"—
Isabella ripped the telegram out of her hands with such force that she ripped the bottom half of it.
Sister in coma, influenza, come as fast as possible. Isabella finished reading the telegram and her eyes widened in fear.
"Oh my!"
"What!" Her best friends asked, reading the telegram. She then put her hands to her mouth and gasped.
"She got the flu? Stupid whites! They are so stupid!"
Isabella looked at her friend and nodded.
"What I think is very strange about the whole situation is that every time there is a problem in my life, it's because of the Blanco hombre! Every time! You know sexis!"
She laughed at her friend's name for her. "Does it seem that we have the most perverted names for each other?"
"Of course bitch!" She said and they both laughed, going to dinner together.
A few days later Isabella had finished her work and was lying on the grass in the courtyard, talking to her friends who were sitting on the ground, lying or leaning near the big oak tree that was shading everyone.
"So I heard about your hermana Martiz. She is in a coma. What an interesting theme to ponder." Isabella looked up at the girl who was saying it. A very dark skinned girl with dark brown eyes looked at her intensely.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Isabella asked, not in the mood to have any type of intellectual conversation.
"Woman! I do not think Isabella is really in the mood to talk!" Her best friend and roommate said. That shut the girl up and she actually walked away.
"So you have to either go to India for a week or some barren piece of pathetic existence of a town to be by your sister's side? What a fucked up dilemma!" A tall girl with straight, brunette hair said as she adjusted herself and sat down.
"I don't want to go to the stupid town! But I have no choice!"
"Sucks, just sucks!" That same girl said.
Adrianna was mad, but there was nothing that she could do.
She stood up and looked at them all, acting very mad and annoyed.
"REMEMBER ME AS YOU ARE RIDING AN ELEPHANT AND MAKING OUT WITH SOME VERY GOOD LOOKING AND VERY HOT INDIAN BOY!"
She then walked away and got ready to pack her stuff for laughable Colorado Springs.
Isabella soon left the college and as everyone else was talking excitedly, she was going to a stupid town in North America with about as much progressiveness as Pope Gregory XVI. She really did hate it, but she loved her sister a lot and going to India was not going to stop the fact that her sister was in a coma. They both had a silent, but deep respect for each other, so she got onto the freedom fighter train and in a few hours, she was in St. Louis, waiting for the stagecoach to take her to stupid, but maybe sexy, Colorado Springs.
Dr. Adrianna Martiz was sitting at the side as Michaela was giving Emily advice. She was anemic and so she gave her advice to drink rusty water, which she did not seem that keen to take, but she still decided to do it anyway. Aldamora was there too stitching a blanket for her new baby. She was barely showing. Colleen was sitting at the side, watching and looking very sad. Aldamora noticed it and stopped stitching to walk and sit by her.
"Colleen? Are you ok?"
She did not say a thing, but instead looked at the wall blankly. Michaela was still talking to Emily, so she did not even notice what was happening. Adrianna was becoming a little upset and stood up, wanting to give her a row when Brian came in and exclaimed that the stagecoach was there. They all left without a word, but Aldamora grabbed Adrianna and they fell back.
"What is wrong with Colleen?" Aldamora asked, looking very concerned.
"I do not know. I think that she wants Michaela's attention," Adrianna replied as they came outside.
The stagecoach had just arrived and Adrianna watched the first person come out. She was very surprised to see Señora Quinn walk out. Michaela did not seem to notice at all and was in the opposite direction, helping with the packages that the reverend was taking down. She was wearing a pink dress and seemed to be hitting her hand with some form of a stick.
Adrianna walked a little closer, but still stayed about a foot or so behind everyone else. She had the same, domineering, strict look that she remembered. Loren helped her down as she looked at the person behind her and her mouth went wide open. She just stood there and did not say a thing as her sister stood at the end of the stagecoach and took off her wire-rimmed glasses in a very dramatic way. She then looked straight at Adrianna, shook her head angrily, and pointed straight at her.
"YOU! YOU! WOMAN! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A COMA. I WILL HURT YOU!" She started to run toward Adrianna, as if she was going to tackle her. Adrianna moved to the right a little, but enough to get out of the way. Isabella ran right into the wall and stood there for a second. Then she fell on the ground and Michaela ran to her. Señora Quinn looked annoyed at what had just happened.
"Oww! Pain! My ass!" Isabella moaned and Michaela was examining her. This seemed to annoy her because she abruptly stood up looked at Adrianna in vengeance. Then she looked at her Michaela, annoyed.
"Woman! I do not like women in that way! Stay away from me! Plus…you like HER!" Isabella looked and pointed at Adrianna, almost in tears. Unlike Adrianna, everyone looked upset and stared at Adrianna as if she had just shot a puppy. They did not know that much about her sister. If they did, they would have just rolled their eyes or ignored her. She was prone to be very theatrical about everything.
Adrianna shook her head, disgusted at her sister. She looked at her older sister and put her hand in front of her sister's face. Then she put her hand down and looked at Adrianna like she was being betrayed.
"I could be in India, deeply kissing a very hot Indian. He could be taking some exotic oil and slowly and very sensually rubbing it all over my legs. And then he would come up closer and decide to give me a little surprise and go under the lower undergarment section of the bathing outfit I was wearing and he started to touch m"—
Adrianna then put her hand on her mouth to shut her sister up. She forced her closer to herself as everyone looked shocked and dismayed at what she had just said.
As everyone looked disturbed at what she had just said, Adrianna turned her sister around.
"Isabella! What are you doing here?"
Isabella looked at her sister as if she wanted to shake her.
"I am here on my week off of spring break, instead of India to be by your side! I got a telegraph from some Punta named María that you were in a coma because of the influenza! What happened?" Isabella was looking at her sister, wondering what the hell happened.
Adrianna looked at her sister, her features softened. "Lo siento hermana. I was in a coma, but I awoke after a few days. I did not realize that María had even contacted you."
"Who is this María character?"
"She is a friend of mine. She is from a local freedom fighter tribe."
Isabella looked at Adrianna without saying a word.
"It's ok Izzy! I will make sure you have fun here. We have not had much time to spend together. Would you like that?"
Isabella embraced her sister. "I guess so."
She seemed to have made up with her sister so Adrianna walked away for a brief moment, and Elizabeth Quinn decided to continue her conversation with her daughter.
Isabella stood behind Elizabeth as she complained to Michaela and started to mock her. Adrianna had turned to Aldamora and they were leaving with a package that she had gotten and were not paying attention.
Michaela and the kids were doing their best not to laugh as Isabella was mocking her. As Elizabeth talked about all of her bags, Isabella stopped. She widened her eyes as she looked at the bags and started to laugh.
"What the heck! I do not believe that you need that much stuff for a few days visit! What are you going to do? Wait stop! You are going to wear something every hour qué?" She just shook her head and had a soft laugh.
Matthew helped bring down the boxes that were her stuff and Isabella tried to find a new victim. She saw an old man and was about to annoy him when the woman that her sister was talking to walked to her. She was very pretty with long, wavy, raven hair and bright green eyes. She was holding her abdomen and had a distinct feeling that she was pregnant. She walked to her and gave her a warm smile. She took out her hand and Isabella shook it. Adrianna came over and saw that she was acting mature and almost fell over, not sure what to say.
"Isabella, this is my best friend Aldamora Raúl of the royal house of Santis."
It must have been a second after Adrianna had said Santis that Isabella screamed and ran to Adrianna and jumped on her. Adrianna was soon holding her 16-year-old sister and not liking it. She dropped her and just left, very annoyed and embarrassed.
A little later Adrianna went with Michaela since they had a patient and Aldamora went with her. Afraid that she was going to get killed by the Santis, she decided to check out this town that her sister was a part of.
She came a little outside of the so-called clinic when she saw two men arguing. She came up to them and found that he did not want to pay for a whore at the saloon. Isabella had the great idea to say something.
"Hey if you want a free whore, I'm here!"
They both looked at her as if she was crazy. Then the supposed owner of the Saloon looked her up and down and seemed to be undressing her with his eyes.
"If you take that thing off of your eyes, then we might be able to work out a deal," he said slickly.
Adrianna widened her eyes and cracked a big laugh.
"I was just joking hombre!" She said it looking freaked at the thought that this man wanted her to work for her. She decided that this was the time to leave and so she did, running as fast as she could.
They were all going home on the same wagon, against what Elizabeth wanted since she did not like Isabella that much. She was explaining her trip and complaining and Isabella had to say something stupid.
"You complain too much Señora Quinn. My sister and I lived on the streets for one year and another in a shack with a strange British doctor who served one month in the Crimean War. I would not be complaining that much woman if I were you. I could bet all of my money that you have always had a roof on your head and food in your stomach."
Adrianna looked at Isabella as if she wanted to kill her right there. Isabella went closer to Brian and put him on her lap.
"Hey! What are you doing?" He asked, not wanting to be on anyone's lap now.
"You are insurance," Isabella said.
"What's 'surance?" He asked her.
"It means that I am using you to make sure my dear, sweet sister DOESN'T TRY TO KILL ME!" She said and glared at her sister. Everyone except Elizabeth laughed.
"I thought you lived in an orphanage?" Colleen said.
Adrianna glared at Isabella and slowly shook her head and closed her eyes.
"I lied; I don't think that this is the time to discuss it."
Isabella started to tickle Brian and he started to laugh.
"So Annie, what have you been getting yourself up to?" She said trying to stop from being killed.
"How about you? I have not been sent a telegram about you destroying school property, so it seems that you are not getting in that much trouble!" She said it, looking mad.
"You didn't answer my question."
"You didn't mine either."
"Why don't you answer mine?"
"Because I don't feel like it."
"Well I don't feel like it."
"Well I don't feel like it."
"Hey! You copied me Annie!"
"So I did."
"Yes you did."
"You did what you did."
"But you did what you did what you did."
"No I did what I did what I did what I did."
"No I did what I"—
"SILENCE! Please stop talking!" It was Señora Quinn, who looked very upset. Isabella started to laugh and was having a hard time concealing it. She always loved when people yelled at her, because she would laugh and then they would get even angrier.
Adrianna gave her sister a deadly look and she became very quiet.
Michaela continued talking to her mother and Adrianna sat in the back, looking at Isabella like she wanted to kill her and Isabella hugging Brian and sticking her tongue out at her and also making faces at her.
They came home, Señora Quinn was of course disapproving of the house, and Isabella came in and started to run around the house like a crazy person. Matthew used incorrect grammar and Isabella came to him and shook her head.
"There is only one person in this house, who has to right, (Yes the right!) to speak incorrectly IT IS I! Don't make me beat you up boy!" She then found a seat and whistled some unknown tune. "Oh yeah and the blondie over there was a little inconsiderate. I should set her straight, but I'm too lazy to do it now," she finished.
She then started to sing her tune.
9.8,
9.8,
9.8 meters per second,
isn't that great!
She then stood up and clapped her hand to the beat of her song. She then went into an aria.
IF..I..THREW..A..BALL..FROM..A..BUILDING..IT..WOULD..FALL..AT..9....8..METERS..PER..SECOND!..ISN'T..THAT..GREAT!
She was starting to get annoying very fast. Adrianna soon saved them when she came in
with a scary stare and crossed arms, Isabella stopped and gave an innocent smile.
"I didn't do a thing!" She said but Adrianna did not believe her.
"Do not play me! You are going to stop this! You are going with me now!" She then grabbed her sister by the sleeve and she made her drag her all the way to her barn.
After threat of death, Isabella promised that she would not say a thing out of line or stupid. She instead decided to check out this town and followed Elizabeth, as some old man that she thought was the shopkeeper started to talk to her. He tried his best words to swoon her but was kindly let down. Isabella walked next to him and patted him on the shoulders.
"Smooth! Real smooth!" She said to him and he looked at her irked.
"Oh shut up!" He said to her and ran back to his store.
Isabella was looking for her sister at that moment, not wanting to get in trouble by doing anything more that would be considered stupid or out of line.
She went to the clinic, hoping that she would find her sister. Instead, she came on a conversation between some banker and the young Quinn woman. He was saying that he did not have confidence in a woman doctor. Isabella had kept a promise, but decided that this was the time to break the promise.
"Talking about confidence Señor, I would not have confidence of your fitness at all."
"Excuse me? I only speak English."
This really started to anger Isabella and she started to say some regretful things.
"I was born in this country you ugly woman!"
The man was starting to get upset and just as he was about to say something Adrianna came and put her hand again on her sister's mouth.
"I'm sorry about that. She has some problems with her head." Adrianna said, trying to rectify the situation.
He looked at down at Adrianna in a very haughty way and spit in her face.
"I only talk to real Americans not foreign whores!"
He then left; feeling pleased with himself and did not pay attention at any of what Isabella was saying.
"I was talking about your fitness! Your fitness as a man in the bedroom. You have a small penis!"
Everyone looked taken aback at her behavior. Michaela looked at her, not believing what she had just said and Adrianna looked very dangerous. She started to walk to her horse; she got on it and started to ride away, not saying anything at all.
Isabella moved her head to the side and clapped her hands. Michaela nodded her head.
"Adrianna didn't say that much about you. All I know is that you are very smart and like to get in trouble a little too much."
Isabella looked at Michaela, wondering if she should answer the question.
"I yam what I yam," she said remembering the expression from some time travel agent who was obsessed with spinach.
"You certainly have a positive attitude about life."
"Yeah I do. I could do the mysterious Spanish beauty thing that my sister did, but I would probably do something stupid like trip on my dress as I did some sexy walk. I really do not do it as well as my sister does. She knows what to do. I don't, in fact I would probably anger every man, since I am way smarter than them, doesn't work for the role I play in life."
Michaela just smiled at Isabella and then looked out in the distance to where Adrianna had gone. She looked worried.
"She does this and every time I get worried," Michaela said.
"She still does that? I would not see her a lot when we lived with my uncle. She was always alone, drowning herself in her sadness and depression. She has always run away from her problems, which is one of reasons I am the way I am. I didn't want to be like her."
Isabella then started to sniff the air as if she was a dog. Michaela thought she was just being Isabella, doing something stupid to make her laugh after what happened. Instead, she looked serious.
He walked toward the livery and kept smelling until she came to the entrance. She looked at Sully and then came in closer. She saw wolf and started to bark at him and he responded. It was as if they were having a conversation with each other.
Everyone was laughing, thinking she was crazy or just plain weird. She looked very serious as she "talked" to wolf and he did in his dog way. Grace left annoyed that Robert E did not say a thing and Sully started to leave, asking wolf to come with him, looking amused.
Isabella did not say a thing but left, looking very white. She stooped at the entrance and looked at Robert E.
"I and wolf agree that you need to look at your forage." She then left and Robert E ignored what she had just said, Grace still on his mind.
As Isabella left, she shook her head and walked to Michaela, as the forage exploded and Robert E started to burn. He ran around and Isabella started to struggle with her bag, trying to look for some natural ointment that she found worked well with burns. By the time, she had whipped it out, the fire was put out and he was lying on the floor, looking very bad.
She took out the ointment that was in a glass test tube and accidentally dropped it. She yelled, "Fuck!" and everyone looked dismayed at her expression. Michaela ran to him and asked some man for help named Jake.
"Maybe that's not such a good idea," he replied.
Isabella was around many progressive people at school who would say a thing or two to him. Isabella was not that person. Instead, she said something stupid, as she usually did.
"Yo bitch, I wouldn't be talking much if I were you, you racist son of a bitch. Especially since, you help men with their vanity issues. Go away and kiss your man!"
Jake looked very upset at what had just been said and was about to say something when Aldamora came by. Isabella saw her and screamed that she was a demon before running away as far as she could.
Michaela instead was forced to take him home at her house and use her own bed as his resting place. Adrianna was nowhere to be seen and Isabella looked a little upset that her sister had done that since she did want to spend time with her.
Robert E did not want to be there and tried to get away. Michaela, Sully and Isabella restrained him. Isabella, who looked petite physically seemed to have the strength of a gorilla and was a lot of help now.
She looked at Robert E and then at Michaela.
"He is going to be ok?" She asked Michaela, fear popping into her voice.
"I'll make sure of it," Michaela answered her.
Isabella then looked at him and smiled, "When I'm sad and depressed, I like to sing. It keeps my mind away from everything. Maybe you can try that Robert E. I might even tell you about pen15."
He followed her instructions and started to hum a tune.
Isabella decided to sleep in Adrianna place in the barn since she had not come back. She did not dare leave, afraid that the Santis would sneak up on her and slit her throat. She knew that if she stayed around the house, she would not kill her because there would be too many witnesses. She had decided that she would check out the place and saw wolf again and started to bark with the dog. His owner, a man named Sully looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Are you ok?" He asked, wondering about her sanity.
"I'm fine. I just…well…let me just say that I relate to him. He is such a beautiful and loyal animal. I love wolves; you always know that they will be there for you and that they won't run off whenever there is a problem."
Sully nodded, but did not know that she was talking about her sister.
Isabella left and sat at the other end of the barn where she knew no one would be and wondered where her sister was now.
Adrianna was very hurt and angry, she had wanted the bastard of the first national bank of Denver to be disemboweled, and she wanted to be the one to do that. Angry tears fell from her face as her horse, Lobster, trotted as fast as she could into the wild. She was so angry that she kept the horse running, running right at the end of a large cliff. The horse neighed very loudly and stopped right before the end of the cliff. Adrianna screamed as she fell down the cliff very hard and landed in a small enclave, landing on her back and hitting her head on the rocks.
Adrianna slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a dark cave. She tried to adjust her eyes and found that the only source of light was in the fire that was blazing in the center of the cave. It was huge too and she saw what looked like old bones scattered in one section of the cave. She also saw that there were dead animals tied on a string, which was connected to a long wooden pole that had somehow been forced between two sections of the cave wall.
Adrianna sat up and realized that she was lying on buffalo hide. She then felt at her head and realized that there was a bandage of cloth wrapped around her forehead. She got up, but realized that she felt real pain on her back when she tried to get up and stayed down.
She tried to move the bandage and felt blood; she had gotten a concussion and knew that it was best not to do anything at all. Therefore, she instead lay there, wondering where the hell she was.
She stared at the roof of the cave, watching the shadows caused by the fire. As she watched it, she thought of the story in the bible where Jesus came to a cave and was tempted by the devil to go with him. As Adrianna closed her eyes she tried to sleep away, the immense pain she was feeling. As she tried to sleep, she felt that there was something or someone there watching over her. She sleep had already taken over her soul before she could see that the mysterious man in the trench coat was there watching over her, taking care of her.
Isabella was never the person that would sit thinking about her problems, feeling sorry for her. That was her sister, not her. She was a woman, actually a girl, of action. She must have been one second on the ground sitting and thinking, before she dragged her ass off the ground and went into the barn. She saw that blondie, also known as Colleen, was milking the cow and her favorite old person, Señora Quinn was there.
"I'm going to die!" Was the first thing that Isabella heard when she came in.
Señora Quinn asked her why and she talked of bleeding for two whole days.
Señora Quinn smiled, "Oh darling, you're not going to die! You're just growing up! You've become a woman!"
"Yeah! I remember when I got my first one! It was great! I had found myself playing a game called hide and seek….Well I guess you can say that I lost!" Isabella said immaturely.
This seemed to cheer up Colleen because she smiled and even hugged Isabella.
"That's right sexis!"
Isabella then patted Señora Quinn's shoulder and she gave a little scream. "I give you permission to tell the Senorita what this little thing is all about, because I am going to see how much more trouble I can get into!"
Isabella had started to annoy Michaela a little by walking around the house about 100 times. She finally stopped when she saw that Michaela was holding a knife and she did not want to die a most horrible death by knife.
"Where is my hermana?" Isabella asked, looking very angry and annoyed.
"I don't know at all, so why don't you stay where you are and help me peel this potato."
Isabella looked at Michaela as if she was crazy.
"What the heck woman? Do I look like a peeling the potato kind of woman? For your information! I am a cutting an onion and crying really hard kind of woman!"
She then went into the barn to see if she could work out some equations. Colleen was in there and was doing something but Isabella was too preoccupied with the fact that her undergarments seemed to be sticking in her crack of her butt. She went to her sister's "room" and fell over. She then struggled with the blankets, which seemed to be tangled around her. She finally did get out of it and looked around for some paper and pens. She stopped looking when she heard someone come in. Michaela seemed to want to say sorry about not paying attention to her.
Colleen did not want to talk to her at all and Isabella did not really blame her. Adrianna always seemed obsessed with revenge and many times, she seemed to forget that she had a little sister. If she were truly honest, she would believe that her sister did not really take care of her. She was a virtual stranger to her, never spending that much time. She even is gone now, now that she really did want to spend some time with her sister.
