Chapter 3

Isabelle had been asleep for two hours before she was brutally awakened by the alarm of an rescue being required.

Isabelle decided to help grandma with cooking before she would blow the kitchen up. And they would be needed to be rescued by IR.

Hours later the boys returned and walked into a muttering grumpy kayo and a laughing Isabelle "It's not that bad Kayo. And besides it only a couple of hours. "

"Not bad! I rather help Cornel Casey instead of this" Kayo complained making Isabelle falling of the sofa from laughing to hard.

"What's going on? " Scott asked walking it with his brothers and seeing them.

"Penny" Kayo grumbled

Isabelle wiped her tears "Penny is hosting a gala. And requested us to attend to. All of us. That means…"

"Kayo in a dress" Scott grinned

"Bingo"

"I can't hide anything in them" Kayo grumbled crossing her arms

"But you do look hot in it." Scott shrugged

"Humpf" Kayo muttered walking off.

"I get to go shopping" Isabelle grinned. "Who will give me a lift tomorrow" she smiled.

"If there is no rescue, I can take you. " Gordon said "Virgil is due to do maintenance on his bird. Alan needs some stuff to. So, I can go with you If you want"

" I'd love to" Isabelle smiled "Now I am going to get changed, and go for a run around the island" She said waving and walking off. She went into her room and changed into her training clothes. She grabbed her phone and texted mystery as she named it. "Containing DNA might get hard. How am I supposed to get it from her? "

"A strand of hair is enough"

"And then? " Isabelle texted back

"You send it to a DNA Lab together with your hair. And you get the results. "

"Why are you pushing me into doing this?" Isabelle sighed

"You want the truth, don't you? "

"I am not sure I want to. I get the feeling you have bad intentions with the truth" Isabelle texted back

"Only one way to find out. Get the DNA Samples"

Isabelle sighed again and closed her phone. She threw it aside and decided she needed to clear her head. Why was that mystic person pushing so hard? What was it that he wanted with her? She shook her head and went out of her room closing the door behind her. She put her ear pods in and walked outside. She started running but tried to avoid the beach running true the jungle. After 1.5 hour of running, she came back walking past the pool aria she looked away from the water her focus was on the door.

"Izzy watch out! " Virgil shouted as Gordon came running sideways to make a huge bomb into the water. He was out of her line off view as she was focused on the door. Gordon was not able to stop now.

Isabelle had her music blasting in her ears that she didn't hear Virgil shouting. One moment she was walking towards the door. The other moment something slammed into her pushing her with a force into the water. Gordons's weight was on top of her. Pushing her under she struggled kicking and flapping her arms. Gordon grabbed her by her waist. He kicked himself up from the pool flooring as he swam, pulling her with him up to the surface.

Virgil and Scott each grabbed her arm hoisting her out of the pool. Isabelle was coughing up water her eyes wide with fear watching the water. She tried to scramble up to her feet but Scott and Virgil were holding her down. This made more and more panic.

"Izzy, its ok you out of the water" Scott answered grabbing her face forcing her to look at him. "See, you're on the side"

"I couldn't stop" Gordon said "She just came out of nowhere"

"We know, " Scott said "go grab a towel"

"And an oxygen mask. " Virgil called after him

"I am f…fine" Isabelle coughed "Just let me go"

"First you're going to the infirmary" Virgil said checking her pulse

"No, let me go! I am fine! " Isabelle shouted "Nothing a shower can't fix" She said starting to cough up some more water. She struggled more

Virgil wrapped his arms around her holding her. "First, I check you out, then you can have that shower. " He hoisted her up with Scott. Steadying her and wrapped a towel around her that Gordon just had gotten. He placed the oxygen mask on her face but she slapped it away "Don't you dare! " he glared at her and took her with him. Scott staying on the other side steadying her. The whole way to the infirmary Isabelle was grumbling. And fuming.

After a while Scott had gotten away getting Kayo to fetch some dry clothes for her.

"You done grumbling? " Virgil asked standing in front of her

Isabelle looked at him and softly nodded

"Your tunnel vision is going to get you into serious trouble one day" Virgil said removing the mask of her face. "You were lucky. We still have to watch you to make sure you don't get a lung infection. I shouted that you had to watch out. But I assume the music was on volume 100"

"Can I go now" She whispered "I really want that shower"

"You can take one here, Scott and Kayo are getting some dry clothes for you. " he smiled putting a strand of hair behind her ear "That way if you collapse, I can save you. " He joked

Isabelle blushed "Your mean" She mumbled

"how so? "

"If I collapse, I got nothing to cover me. You will see me in my Eva costume" Isabelle grinned slowly getting her humor back

"And that is bad because? " Virgil whispered in her ear

Shivers were going down her spine her eyes widened she opened her mouth to speak but was speechless. She blinked a couple times and coughed "I…I am going to take that shower now" She shuddered

"I am not stopping you" Virgil said grinning

"Well, you are" Isabelle mumbled

"How so? "

Isabelle pointed at her legs he stood in-between them so she couldn't escape the bed when he was examining her "You got me pinned. And the shower is there. And you're in the way"

Virgil grinned his heart racing "Well that is a problem. " he moved his face closer "Now what do we do"

Isabelle's heart was racing to her breath hitched "Y…y…you" their bodies were reacting to each other they had to stop now. " Dammit Virgil" Isabelle muttered "Stop teasing and move"

Virgil grinned and stepped aside. Isabelle walked past him into the bathroom closing the door and leaning against it letting the air out of her lungs. She put the shower on and stepped under it.

Virgil went to wash his face with cold water. It was getting harder to resist her. He wanted her badly. And she wanted him he could tell how she reacted to him. But he had to keep their friendship intact to.

"Almost boom huh? " Scott said walking in carrying a pile of clean clothes "Kayo is fixing dinner for us. so, we can eat in a minute"

"Dammit Scott" Virgil muttered "I hate it when your right. I am going to take a cold shower" He muttered walking off he needed to cool down.

Scott placed the pile of clothes on the bed "They're on the bed Izzy. When your ready dinner is upstairs hurry up, we are hungry" he grinned walking off.

Fifteen minutes later Isabelle emerged from the shower. She put on the clothes they had put down for her. Smiling as her sister chose sweatpants and a nice comfy sweater. She put it on. And walked upstairs for dinner.

All of a sudden, she was pulled into a hug "I am really sorry" Gordon said squashing her

Isabelle patted his back "You're killing me Gordo, your forgiven" She muttered

Gordon smiled "Good" he grabbed her arm "Now Food"

Isabelle laughed shaking her head "Your love goes true your stomach"

She sat down at the table next to her sister. During dinner there was allot of chatting and laughing sometimes she would share a look with Virgil. After dinner Virgil was playing some piano Isabelle decided to get into bed early. But first she sneaked into kayos room and got some hair of her brush. She put it in a small plastic bag. Then she placed a bar of chocolate on her bed. So that she would not get suspicious. She would always bring a bar of chocolate from the mainland for her sister so it was normal. She sneaked back out of the room placing the bag into her pocket she hid it in her purse and put some hair from her into another bag and put this in her purse to.

She put on a shirt and crawled under her blanket and fell asleep. She slept a couple of hours before she woke up from a nightmare, She got out of her bed and as if she was on automatic pilot, she walked over to Virgil's room opening his door and stepping into the room. She closed the door behind her she stopped in front of his bed

Virgil blinked as he heard his door open, he sat up looking he saw Isabelle standing in front of his bed "Izzy? " Seeing she was half asleep "Nightmare? "

She softly nodded

He held up his blanket "Come here" once she slipped next to him, he wrapped his arm around her "Go to sleep your safe" he whispered to her. He laid down holding her. He soon felt her breathing evening out and fell back to sleep himself to.
