Chapter 70: Back in Time.
"Isaac!" she cried out, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and sorrow. The sound of her voice seemed to echo through the chamber, but Isaac remained still, unresponsive.
Bella's heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming in shallow gasps. Every fiber of her being screamed for her to rush to his side, to hold him and heal him, but Athena seized the opportunity to exploit Bella's emotional vulnerability. With a wicked smile, Athena tightened her grip around Bella, ensuring she couldn't escape.
A wave of frustration washed over Bella as she struggled against Athena's hold. Tears streamed down her face as she fought against the invisible force, her voice strained with a mix of determination and desperation. "Let me go! You've taken enough from us! Release me!"
But Athena only chuckled, relishing in Bella's torment. "Oh, my dear Bella, your pain is exquisite. I won't let you have a moment of respite. Your love has made you weak, and now it will be your downfall."
Bella's body trembled, a mixture of rage and grief flooding her veins. She mustered all the strength she had left, summoning her elemental powers once again. She unleashed a surge of energy, aiming it towards Athena with all her might.
The force collided with Athena's shield, causing a momentary disruption in her hold. In that fleeting instant, Bella managed to break free, stumbling towards Isaac's fallen form. She fell to her knees beside him, her trembling hands reaching out to touch his face.
With tears streaming down her cheeks, Bella whispered Isaac's name, her voice filled with anguish and desperation. "Please, Isaac, wake up. I can't lose you. Not like this."
But as Bella leaned in closer, Athena took advantage of her vulnerable state. She swiftly closed the distance between them, her dark magic encircling Bella once again. The grip tightened, preventing Bella from reaching Isaac, locking her in place.
Bella's heart sank, her eyes widening with a mixture of fear and determination. She refused to let Athena win, to let her darkness consume everything she held dear. With a surge of inner strength, Bella channeled her elemental powers, pushing against Athena's hold with all her might.
The room trembled with the clash of powers, but Bella's determination burned brighter than ever. She met Athena's gaze, her voice firm and resolute. "I won't let you destroy us. I will fight for the love we share, for the light that resides within us. You can't break us."
Athena's face contorted with anger, her grip tightening even further, but Bella refused to yield. With every ounce of her strength, she pushed back against the darkness, pushing back against Athena's control.
In that moment of defiance, Bella felt a surge of power course through her. The air crackled with electricity as her elemental magic intensified. With a final burst of energy, she broke free from Athena's hold, rushing towards Isaac's side once again.
She knelt beside him, her hands trembling as she cupped his face, her tears falling onto his still form. "I'm here, Isaac. I won't let you go. We'll fight through this together. Just hold on."
With determination blazing in his eyes, Nate seized the opportunity presented before him. He lunged towards Athena, his own dark magic surging through his veins. In one swift motion, he managed to grasp her arm, his grip unyielding as he stared into her eyes.
"Bella, go to Isaac! I'll handle Athena," Nate commanded, his voice filled with a mix of determination and concern.
Bella, her heart pounding in her chest, tore her gaze away from Nate and nodded, her eyes never leaving Isaac's motionless form. With a final glance of assurance towards Nate, she rushed towards Isaac, weaving through the chaos of the battlefield.
As Bella knelt beside Isaac, she could feel the weight of her emotions threatening to consume her. Gently, she cradled his head in her hands, her touch filled with a mixture of tenderness and urgency. Tears streamed down her face, falling onto his pale skin as she whispered words of love and encouragement.
"I'm here, Isaac. Please, wake up. We need you. I need you."
In the distance, the clash of powers between Nate and Athena echoed through the chamber. Bella could hear the fury in Nate's voice, the determination to protect and fight for their pack. It fueled her own resolve, knowing that they were in this together.
With trembling hands, Bella pressed her palm against Isaac's chest, her powers surging forth. She channeled the essence of her elemental magic, calling upon the forces of healing and life. A gentle warmth spread through her fingertips, as she poured her energy into Isaac, willing him to awaken.
The battle between Nate and Athena raged on, their powers colliding in bursts of light and darkness. Nate fought with a tenacity fueled by his desire to protect those he held dear. His determination to bring down Athena and end her reign of darkness burned within him.
As Bella knelt beside Isaac's lifeless body, her hands trembled with a mixture of fear and determination. She couldn't bear the thought of losing him, not now, not like this. With tears streaming down her face, she took a deep breath and summoned all the strength she had left.
"I won't let you go, Isaac," Bella whispered, her voice filled with unwavering resolve. "I'll bring you back, I promise."
Closing her eyes, Bella focused on tapping into her powers, the very essence that connected her to the natural world. The air around her seemed to shimmer with energy as she reached out, drawing upon the forces of nature. A gentle breeze encircled her, as if the elements themselves were lending their power to her cause.
With trembling hands, Bella placed her palms on Isaac's chest, trying to feel the stillness beneath her touch. Her mind raced, searching for a way to revive him. She visualized the life force within him, envisioning it rekindling like a flickering flame.
"Come back to me, Isaac," she pleaded, her voice filled with raw emotion. "Find your way back to this world, to us."
Bella's eyes darted around the battlefield, her mind racing to find a solution. And then, like a bolt of lightning, a memory surged through her thoughts. Darlene had once taught her the art of time manipulation, a power that could bend the very fabric of reality. But it came with a warning—tampering with time had consequences, unpredictable and potentially catastrophic.
As Bella's gaze met Darlene's, she saw the mix of concern and understanding in her friend's eyes. Without uttering a word, their connection spoke volumes. Bella knew what she had to do, and Darlene realized that she has to stop her.
With a heavy heart and a whispered apology, Bella closed her eyes and focused on the essence of time. She reached out, grasping the threads that held the moments together, feeling the weight of the world shifting in her grasp. It was a dangerous gamble, one that could alter the course of their lives forever.
The air around her crackled with an electric energy as Bella mustered all her strength. Time seemed to slow, the chaos around her freezing in place. She could feel the immense power flowing through her, the weight of every decision she was about to make.
With a surge of determination, Bella rewound the hands of time, undoing the devastating events that had unfolded before her. The scene played out in reverse, the injured warriors standing tall once more, the battles and destruction retracting like a fading nightmare.
Darlene's voice cut through the surreal silence, desperation tingeing her words. "Bella, you can't do this! The consequences—"
But it was too late. Bella had already set the wheels of time in motion, and she was committed to her choice. The world seemed to twist and bend, the present merging with the past, their fates hanging in the balance.
Bella's mind raced with the possibilities that time manipulation held. She closed her eyes and focused on the moment when Isaac had fallen under Athena's grip, the despair and helplessness she had felt. With every fiber of her being, she willed herself to travel back in time, to that crucial instant.
As the world around her shimmered and faded, Bella felt herself transported to that fateful moment once more. She could see Athena's smug expression and the lifeless form of Isaac in her clutches. Drawing on her newfound power, Bella channeled her strength and determination.
In a burst of energy, Bella seized the threads of time, unraveling the hold Athena had on Isaac. She loosened Athena's grip, using her own hold on the sorceress to intensify the pressure. The balance shifted, and as Bella's grip tightened, Athena's power waned.
With a sudden jolt, Bella returned to the present, the timeline altered. Her eyes scanned the battlefield, searching for Isaac. There he was, no longer held captive but now engaged in a fierce battle against Athena. The once fragile woman now emanated a greater darkness, her powers intensified.
Bella's heart swelled with relief and a renewed determination. She had changed the course of events, giving Isaac a fighting chance. The love and connection between them had transcended time, and now he stood alongside their allies, ready to face their formidable adversary.
