Isabella's pov
I wish. Those words never have meant more to me than they do now. I looked over at Ferb, whose emotionless face was in his hands. I saw his face threatening betray him as he wiped his eyes and looked up at me. I wish we never would have made that stupid stop in Paris. I wish we would've have gone with Ferb and Vanessa to the Eiffel Tower. I wish this whole stupid week wouldn't have happened.
I'm sorry. I know I can't do any more to save you this time. I'm so, so sorry.
I'm sorry Phineas.
Carter's pov
Finally. Finally this will all be worth it. I looked back at the unconscious boy in the backseat. Stupid children. They were never meant to win anyway. I set the plane to self-destruct so they couldn't follow me. Beka Fletcher, Elina and Sammy Kim squirmed around in the back of the cross-dimensional traveler. I turned the power neutralizers up. I couldn't use my powers either, but that was a small price to pay in the shadow of what was about to happen.
The woman from the lab was with me. She looked over and smiled at me grudgingly.
"I guess I owe you an apology Carter. You have turned out good work under the right motivation." She said.
"Well as you know, there's nothing a father wouldn't do for his son." I joked. We laughed.
"The rest of the High Command will be most pleased." She said. "With the Ember boy, the rest of the children will be under our thumbs in no time." I frowned.
"The rest? There are others who are important to our plan?" I asked. She looked at me.
"You have no idea. Easy though, I'm not allowed to give out specifics. Yet." She said to me.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Positive." She said. "But after this, you will definitely be able to know even the darkest secrets of the World Division." I smiled.
"That would be great. Thanks for sticking by me and the project for so long Camille." I said. "But look out for the child of the traitor Emma. She is a shape-shifter."
"I'd like to see how she fares against the professional." Camille said, turning her hand into a claw.
Phineas' pov
"This is great. Just the two of us, in the city of love. Alone." Isabella said. I gulped and smiled nervously. How was I going to tell her about how I felt when I didn't even know myself? I looked around and saw the river we had landed in on out trip around the world. It looked beautiful in the twilight. I know what would make it even more beautiful. I turned to Isabella and took her hand.
"Let's look at the river." I said. "It looks so nice tonight. Especially when you're in front of it." I looked down, embarrassed. She gasped, and I peeked at her to see if it was good or bad. It was good. I felt a tingling in my neck that meant another Shadow was close to me. I ignored it. Who could be more important at that moment than Isabella? "So." I said. "Do you want to see more of the city?" She nodded, for some reason smiling so much she wasn't able to talk. We walked along for about 20 minutes. 20 wonderful minutes. For some reason, the tingling wasn't going away, but I didn't care.
I didn't care until it was too late.
I woke up with my hands and feet bound. I was lying on the couch in a weird plane. I looked up at Carter and the girl nest to him. Crap. Birth Dad crap to be precise. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. It looked like we were in some sort of dimensional rip. Great. This was all I needed. I tried to use my powers to get out of it, but – big surprise – Carter had turned on the power neutralizers. I closed my eyes and pretended to be unconscious. I knew that we would have to go back into a semi-stable dimension to cut me up, so I wasn't that worried. Yet. I was sure Ferb would get to me in time. Meanwhile, I got to listen to Carter get flirty with some girl who was all for killing me. I love my family. So much.
So sorry for that chapter, I think it was messed up, but I'm a self-critic. Tell me what you think! REVIEW!
