Chapter 10 - Reunion

Isabella

I watched as the man took off his face mask, I could see his face. Half burned, but I could barely recognize him. "Leo? Leo?! No, why are you here and how?!" I felt my self tremble, my body almost slumping over but I kept balance. "No time because, I'm going to fight. Against them." I knew what he was talking about. He mean's fight our boss "Joker". "B-but we won't we- you won't be able to beat her."

I saw Leo's eyes. It had the look of determination, but he doesn't know.. I can't side with him. I slapped him across the face, letting anger get the best of me. "Where were you?! For three years! You haven't done anything!" I went to go and punch him across the face. He didn't flinch or dodge. He took the hit, he had took a deep breath and said.

"Please side with me. Join me in this please. I need you." He then let the fire vanished. I couldn't think. In the next second, I heard guards yelling "Freeze! Don't move!" I could hear their loud footsteps, and the crunching of the grass. I looked at Leo, putting back on his shades and face mask on. He stuck out his hand at me, "Take my hand Isabella."

I smiled, also on the edge to start crying. I decided to join him. I reached my hand for his, and we locked, holding hands. He created a phoenix made from his flames. I rode the back of it, Leo letting the phoenix fly. He turned around facing me directly and asked "Did you happen to meet, the other 4 supernaturals?" He looked concern. I then said-

Leo

I watched as Isabella about to speak. "Yeah, I met the other 4, but I haven't seen them in the past couple of months." Landing the phoenix on an abandoned school rooftop, I hopped of the phoenix and so did Isabella. We both looked at each other, she then instinctively slapped me across the face. She started yelling, "Where were you?! I needed help from you! Where were you! Damn it!" I saw tears from her face, but I couldn't tell that if she was angry or sad. I then lifted up her chin "I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me. Times have been tough, I hope you will understand sometime."

I then jumped back and sat down, I still had my bag on me, opening it. I grabbed my phone and tossed it at her, she quickly caught it but almost dropping it. "Clumsy handed, clumsy, clumsy." Isabella snapped at me, faced me with a cold scary glare. "Say it again, Leo. Come on and say, it."

I quickly shook my head no and said "Here, call someone you can trust."

Isabella

I rolled my eyes and I gazed a Leo quickly who was shrugging his shoulders. I went to the dial option, calling a number I knew to heart... the only one I could remember, I didn't mention that to Leo though. I dial'ed the number, putting the phone to my ear waiting for it answer. Leo giving me a two thumbs up and warmly smiled at me. I felt a thump in my heart. As I turned away quickly, I heard a voice, the same young one but it felt older, 3 years old to be exact.

"Hello? Who is this?" The voice quickly said but I could hear a very shy tone.

"Hey, Amelia it's me. Isabella."

"Oh. Hey!" She was so loud, I put the phone away from my ear and turned the phone to speaker, and tossed the phone to Leo, caught it. He started to talk, "Hey, this is Leo. I am friend's with Isabella. Oh and I am the supernatural that "Joker" wasn't able to find nor catch. Do you want to help me, take-down "Joker" Isabella is already helping but can you help us or not?"

Leo

... Silence, I waited a bit for her to answer, I could hear the voice, a girl's younger voice, I could her shyness over the phone. "U-um, well I don't know... she has been nice to me."

Isabella yelled from afar "It's because she treats you as a source of information! Your basically her cellphone that is always trapped! In her hands!"

"Um that was too much, Isabella." As I got up from sitting down, walked up to her and chopped my hand downwards towards the top of her head. Isabella slumped to the ground, pretending to look dead.

I had to apologize to her "Look, I am sorry of what Isabella said. I hope you can forgive her for what she said."

The voice on the phone said "N-no it's okay. I-I understand... What do you need Leo?"
