A new story! This is probably my most special story, I'll try. Well, I'll get back to Fixing a broken heart in just a little while, so, please, just enjoy this story. This is gonna be one bumpy ride.
LITTLE IMPORTANT NOTES:
* First of all, Ferb will be OOC and Candace will act like Phineas' shoulder to lean on. That means, Ferb and Candace's roles are kind of switched.
* I'm not really sure what time this is on, let's just say it's not near 55 BC or our present time, just between it.
* This WHOLE story happened at the English Channel. Let's just look at it this way, Isabella and her mom went to the English Channel instead of America, and the Flynns were the ones to go there instead of the Fletchers to America.
* A "churl" is a slave (war captive).
* An "earl" is a person which is in the ruling class.
* Women, whether we like it or not, were the lowest form in society; they were used for domestic duties and marriageable commodities only.
* The earls, who are men, should be warriors. They are required.
* The "Celts" is a tribe of agricultural people.
I do not own anything.
Birds chirping, the cool breeze, the trees swaying, the people happily working. It was another ordinary day. A peaceful life.
"Isabella, shall we go?" Her mother asked
Isabella nodded then carried the basket of strawberries. They started walking home. When they reached their little cozy home, Isabella put down the basket.
"Mom, I heard some people earlier at the field, they said that there's going to be war, is it true?" Isabella asked
"It's not true, nobody would want to conquer our fields." Vivian replied
"Oh well." She shrugged
She went out of the house, to the front yard bringing a weaved bucket with water with her. She sprinkled the small flowers with water. Just then, a horn was blown once. She turned her attention to the sound.
"One blow, storm,"
Another blow.
"Two blows, a ship's coming by."
Another blow.
"Three blows means," her eyes went wide then gasped, "a war."
She ran inside then looked for her mother.
"Mom! There's a war!" Isabella said
"I told you already, it's not true." Vivian responded
"But it is." Isabella forced
Vivian sighed then said, "I am going to the other side of the island. I will be back in a couple of days."
Her mother left her. She ran to the place where people ran away from. When she reached there, the warriors, their opponents, had started fighting the people. One by one, people were killed. When the last man was killed, leaving Isabella all alone, the warriors started to walk to her. Isabella, who was left paralyzed by the sight, was taken as the war captive.
"Phineas, I told you, you need to be prepared, the ship's going to be returning and we'll be sent to fight others." Ferb said as he and his brother take a walk through the fields where churls planted.
"And I told you that I don't want to kill other people." Phineas responded with a frown
"What will you do then? You can't just be waiting for nothing." Ferb said
Just then, the warriors who captured Isabella was passing by with her yelling, "Let me go!"
"I'm not going to-."
He laid his eyes on Isabella.
He walked to the warriors then said, "Let go of her."
The warriors stopped dragging Isabella.
"Where'd you get her?" Phineas asked
Ferb groaned then said, "If you'll need me, I'll be preparing myself."
He walked away.
"You may go now." Phineas said to the warriors and they obeyed his orders.
"What are you doing here?" He asked
"Those people abducted me." She replied without looking at Phineas, "Could you help me get back?"
Phineas rubbed the back of his neck then replied, "I can't do that, sorry."
She put her face in her hands then sobbed quietly.
"Oh, stop crying." Phineas said
"Why would I? I'm never going to see my mom again." Isabella cried
"Well, I guess you could, start over."
She looked at her then he gave her a wide grin then offered his hand.
"My name's Phineas."
She accepted his hand then shook it, "Isabella."
He removed his hand from hers.
"Now listen, we can't be seen together, my kind can't be seen with your kind."
She nodded.
"Come now, I'll bring you to the person who will show you your earls." Phineas said then they both started walking away.
'She looks... nice.'
'His warriors may be the one who captured me, but I would love to spend time with him.'
Phineas brought Isabella to the head of the whole tribe.
"A new one?" The head asked
Phineas nodded.
"You may leave."
Phineas left her alone.
"Are you from the Celts?" He asked
"Yes." She replied
"Marvelous, do you know fishing or hunting?"
Isabella shook her head no.
"Oh my, you may have difficulties then. Bring her to the Flynn-Fletchers."
The warriors brought Isabella to the home of her earls.
"Phineas where have you been wandering?" Linda, his mother, asked
"I brought a new war captive to the head." Phineas replied
"A new one?" His sister, Candace, groaned, "Those warriors have to stop doing that."
"Why stop if you get stronger every time you get one?" Ferb asked
"Would you two stop fighting against each others' opinions." Linda said, "Anyway, what tribe did he or she come from?"
"I think she came from the Celts' tribe." Phineas replied
When Linda was about to ask another question, someone knocked on their door. She opened it then saw warriors.
"Linda Flynn-Fletcher?" One asked
Linda nodded.
"We brought you a churl."
They got out of the way then walked away. Linda was the first one to get sight.
"Hello young lady, what's your name?" She asked
"Isabella."
"Isabella? I know that name!" Phineas said then peeked his head out the door
Isabella waved her hand then Phineas had a wide grin on his face.
"Isabella, it's nice to see you again." He said
"You too." Isabella replied
"So... I'll talk to my brother for a minute." Candace said then pushed Phineas to the corner of the room
She smirked then said, "I sense something."
"So what is it?" Phineas asked
"Somebody likes a girl." She replied in a singing tone
"Who? Me?" He asked
"Who else then?" She asked
"Candace, Candace, Candace," he started as he slowly shook his head, "Do you really think that I like Isabella?"
Candace stared at him for a minute or two then simply answered, "Yes."
"Fine. Maybe I do like her a little bit." Phineas said with arms crossed
"A little bit? You sure?" Candace asked
"Absolutely." He replied
"Let's just see about that." Candace said
"Shall we make a bet then?" Phineas asked
"A bet? Okay." Candace replied
"Sure, now I know that I like Isabella, so, if I end up being her lover and vice versa, you win, and if not, I clearly win." Phineas said
"Loser must be the winner's slave, slave as in you or I will bring breakfast to the other." Candace replied then her arms crossed
"Deal."
So, how was it?
