Healing
Summary: Isabelle Taylor came from a long line of witches, part of the original 6 founding families of Ipswich, Massachusetts. She grew up with the boys and always knew she'd be their salvation. Every 100 years a female is born into her family, and when she ascends all of those she wills her protection to will feel no side effects of Using. Set in the movie and afterwards.
The next morning Isabelle met up with Reid early in the morning facing off in his dorm room.
"Belle you said we've got to talk so can we get this over with?"
"This is what I'm talking about Reid! What has you so busy that you can't fix things with me? What do you have a date today?"
"Maybe I do, ever thought of that?" Reid taunted finally pushing Isabelle passed her breaking point.
"Then leave Reid, and leave me alone! Go date other girls and leave me to my own life. I'm not your girl anymore I'm Isabelle Taylor and I'll date a guy who is willing to commit to only me, because honestly Reid, I'm tired of being your second pick all the time."
"Fine, what do I care. By the way have fun flirting with other guys with my mark still on your neck." Reid stormed out of her room slamming the door on the way out."

Izzy walked through the halls on Monday with her head down, the bite Reid had given her was as dark as ever and unfortunately still noticeable in her uniform, she noticed people whispering about it and making more assumptions. She had avoided the guys all weekend by staying at her own house, and she wasn't looking forward to class.
"Hey Iz wait up." Chase called from down the hallway. Isabelle stopped and waited for him, unable to remove the smile that his charming personality brought on.
"How was your weekend Iz?"
"Eventful is a good way to put it I guess." The two made their way to the very top row taking the farthest seats as the class began to fill.
"Oh were you with Reid or something?"
"Actually Reid and I are taking a break, were not together right now." Chase smiled and leaned closer thinking that maybe he could get rid of the sons and gain the prize.
"Well, I was going to go to the movies Wednesday night, you want to come?" Isabelle blushed and nodded flipping open her book as she avoided the looks that the three oblivious sons sent her.
She made her way out of class not bothering to wait for Reid and Tyler. She met up with Chase at lunch the two sitting outside on the rare sunny day. When math came Isabelle sat at the front of the class ignoring Caleb's stare burning a hole through her head.
By the end of math the three sons cornered Reid in their computer lab.
"All right Reid enough, what the hell is going on with Izzy?"
"Well as of Saturday morning Izzy is no longer my business, she wanted to take a break and I wanted to have some fun without feeling guilty."
"So you're just going to let other guys date Izzy?" Tyler asked extremely confused.
"Don't kid yourself, we've spent three years at this school making it very clear that no one is to look twice at her, not a single guy will have the balls to talk to her before we patch things up; I'm just giving Izzy some space for now."
"Reid, this is a bad idea," Caleb warned.
"Well at least it gets that Chase kid away from Kate." Reid ignored Pogue as he went back to work.
Isabelle sat at her regular study hall table and prepared for Caleb and Pogue.
"So you're taking a break?" Caleb began,
"Yes, and I think it's about time, it's only fair I get out and play the field."
"What field? Reid pointed out we've spent three years making it very clear you're unavailable not a single guy at this school will go anywhere near you."
"You know Pogue; it's surprising how false that is. I mean when Hailey and Michelle on the swim team heard that I was single we decided we were going to go out tonight to cheer me up, and I've already got a date lined up for Wednesday, so worry not I'll be fine."
Isabelle packed up her things and flashed the teacher her complete homework before making her way out. She headed back to her dorm and opened the door for the two girls, this was it she was going to be a normal teen and have normal fun. The three girls pulled on their outfits and Isabelle fixed her hair in the mirror. She was wearing a skin tight strapless crop top with low rise tight jeans and for once Izzy was confident she looked good.
"Where are we headed tonight?" Izzy asked as she finished adding a thick coat of eye liner.
"To Nicki's, where else is there to hang out in this town." Izzy nodded caking cover up over Reid's hickey partially masking the bruise.
"Don't worry about, it's just a hickey no guy is going to mind when you look like that." Michelle giggled pulling both girls out of the dorm.
Izzy ignored the stares from the four sons she felt burning through her back as a random Public boy asked her to dance for the second time. It seemed as if after the first boy made a move with no consequences all of them were losing their fear.
"Why don't we head out of here?" the boy whispered in her ear. Isabelle shook her head and the boy shrugged his shoulder content to find someone else. Even if Reid and she were broken up, she still loved him with her entire heart. She wasn't going to get with someone else just to hurt him, it wasn't her style. She'd just make him jealous.
Calling it a night Izzy didn't even acknowledge the sons as she made her way out with Hailey and Michelle, she could see their disapproving stares from across the bar.

That night Reid sat in his dorm with Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler.
"You've got to fix this Reid; Izzy is going out on a date with Chase Wednesday night." Caleb spoke up. "She also won't talk to the rest of us since she's mad that we didn't like the idea of her seeing other people."
"Or hanging out with those two new slutty friends of hers." Pogue grumbled. The entire school knew that Hailey and Michelle got around more than even Reid.
"Look guys I get it, but Izzy doesn't want to be together anymore."
"That's bullshit Reid and you know it."
"How so baby boy?"
"In the three nights since you've been on a break you haven't even looked at another girl. That's all Izzy wanted. Just tell her you're willing to commit, it's not that hard."
Reid groaned while the other three carried on, he knew it wouldn't be that easy with Isabelle.
