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.
Isabelle smiled up at Chase as they left the theatre. He'd been so charming all night long. She wished she could have feelings for a guy like that, but everything he did she compared to Reid. Chase didn't debate which movie to see, even if he wasn't interested. He sat in the middle and barely even held her hand. He didn't make sound in the theatre and he was too polite. She missed Reid, she missed them.
"I had a lot of fun tonight Chase."
"Let's do it again, next week." Isabelle nodded and smiled kissing his cheek as she walked back to her dorm.
Time Skip
In class the next day Isabelle sat in her new seat in the last row waiting for Chase when she was boxed in.
"We need to talk after this, were ditching the rest of the day, something's going on I can feel it." Caleb stated watching as Izzy tried to ignore them and keep pulling her shirt higher to cover the fading hickey on her neck. Reid leaned over him and whispered:
"No need to hide it baby, it's not like what we do has ever been a secret." Caleb elbowed the blonde glaring until Reid settled down.
They made their way down the stairs Pogue and Tyler keeping an agitated Isabelle between them, away from Reid and leaving.
"Pogue, where are you going?" Kate questioned her boyfriend with Sara trailing behind.
"We've got some stuff we need to work through I'll meet you after swim practice." The five left the school making their way up to Reid and Tyler's dorm.
Izzy sat against the closet door ignoring the pointed looks directed to the bed. The boys spread out, Reid pacing like a caged tiger, Tyler pulling at his blankets, Caleb sitting in one of the desk chairs and Pogue sprawled out on Reid's bed.
Caleb spoke first, "clearly we have a bunch of issues we need to work out, but first we need to figure out who has been using. I know it's not one of us, but then that means someone else has powers. Izzy you've memorized that book can you think of anything."
Izzy thought for a moment thinking about the book of Damnation, she shook her head indicating she didn't have a clue either. "We need to stop whoever this is, before someone else gets hurt."
They sat around for hours going over the different signs they'd seen and felt. "Guys it's nearly 4 we've gotta get ready for the meet." Tyler pointed out as all of them got up. Caleb snagged Izzy's collar pulling her back while addressing them all.
"We're not done here, let's finish this after practice." The boys nodded while Izzy sighed before they all rushed down to the pool.
Izzy changed quickly making it out just behind the guys. "Alright, ladies freestyle you're up first."
Izzy stepped onto the platform fighting a smile as the boys cheered for her. Diving off Izzy pushed her body and ended up beating the closest person by a full second.
Grabbing the hands leaning over Izzy nodded at Reid and Tyler and moved off preparing to watch their races.
Tyler, Reid, and Pogue won their respective races with ease and the three waited for Caleb to wrap things up. Chase walked by Izzy and flashed a smile. "Cheer for me beautiful."
Reid tensed but stayed put as Izzy didn't respond. They watched the race all of them running for Caleb as he smacked his head, only Izzy staying put as she thought about what she'd just witnessed. She could've sworn Chase's eyes were entirely black.
