  You are Dylan Parker. You are a high school student and you see yourself as just an average guy. You have always had an eye for beauty, whether is be a flower, an art piece, or a girl. Isabella Franco has gone to school with you since you were just children, and you have always wanted her to like you as much as you like her. Your friends all think you're in over your head, but you don't listen to them. You just feel connected to her somehow.
  
  [Author's Note: In this game, you play as a boy in high school that is simply living his life. This is a story of how things will surprise you.]
  
  > go to school
  You pull up to the school and park in your parking spot. You get out of your car, grab your backpack, and start walking towards the school. You see your friends, Rob, Haylie, and Lisa waiting for you to join them on the sidewalk. You start to walk to them, but you look to your right and see Isabella walking alone towards the building.
  
  > catch up to Isabella
  You wave to your friends and jog to catch up to Isabella. As you get to her she drops one of her books. You pick the book up for her.
  
  "Here you go Isabella." You say.
  
  "Thanks." She replies.
  
  "So, uh. How are you?"
  
  "Listen, I've known you for a long time, and I'm sure your really nice. But I don't want you talking to me."
  
  "Isabella, wait."
  
  You grab her arm. She's cold to the touch.
  
  "Ouch! Get away from me!"
  
  You stop dead in your tracks. Isabella speeds away from you. You hang your head. You make your way back to where you saw your friends. You start to sweat a little.
  
  > go to Gym
  You drag your feet as you walk into the gym by yourself. Everyone in your class has already arrived and dressed by the time you get there. You slide your way into the locker room to get changed. When you walk out, you see a basketball and a soccer ball laying on the floor.
  
  > pick up the Basketball
  You pick up the basketball and start to toss the ball into the basket. You see Isabella walk into the gym. You also see some of the football team following her. They group around her and start talking to her. Isabella puts her back against the wall and looks at them frightened. You don't like them messing with her.
  
  > do something about it
  You drop the basketball and angrily walk towards the football team.
  
  "Hey, Brad!" You shout to the Quarterback.
  
  He turns toward you. "What do you want Parker?" He chuckles.
  
  "I want you to leave her alone." You reply. You push Brad against the wall and you hear a slight sizzling sound.
  
  "Are you trying to torch me or something?" Brad screams. He pushes your hand off and a small flame is left where your hand was. Brad and his teammates run out.
  
  "Come with me." Isabella whispers. She grabs your arm and pulls you out of the gym.
  
  > Hallway
  Isabella drags you into the hallway.
  
  "What do you think you're doing?" She whispers angrily.
  
  "What do you mean?" You ask.
  
  "Your powers Dylan, why did you use them on Brad?" She replies.
  
  "You mean the fire?" You say. Isabella nods her head.
  
  "Here, look." Isabella reaches her hand out and the air freezes around her. "I can control the cold."
  
  "That's crazy." You utter in disbelief.
  
  "No it's not, Dylan. How do you think you burned Brad's shirt?" She asked.
  
  "I-I don't know." You stutter.
  
  "Well it just so happens that I do know. You and I are Sanctified. We have been gifted with these powers from the time we're born. These abilities are unique to one member of each generation." Isabella explains.
  
  "Wait a minute. How did you figure out you were Sanctified?" You ask.
  
  "I was on my bus during Sophomore year when I first experience my abilities. When I went to get off the bus, the bus driver stopped me and explained what I was. Then he showed me that he could control plants. He said he would teach me how to control my powers and that we need to look out for each other. So, here I am, looking out for you." Said Isabella.
  
  Before you can ask any more questions, Isabella pulls you through a door that leads outside.
  
  > go Outside
  Isabella pulls you along until you are deep in the woods. A pulsing light covers the ground.
  
  "Wha-What is that?" You stutter.
  
  "That, my boy, is the local source of our powers. There are spots like this all around the world. This specific spot is where our powers are most powerful." Isabella explains. Isabella lets go of your hand and walks toward the light. You stand dumbfounded as she kneels on the ground and places her hand on the spot. The light pulses from the ground and climbs up her arm. You start to feel really cold, an icy wind rolls into the forest.
  
  "What are you doing, Isabella?" You shout.
  
  "I'm tapping into the direct source of our powers." The light stops and Isabella stands up. "There's something else I forgot to tell you about me, Dylan." Isabella walks slowly closer as the atmosphere around you gets closer and closer to a freezing winter. "You and I also have the ability to absorb each other's powers." Isabella stops and stands face to face with you. "It is kinda against the rules though. See, we have to kill another Sanctified before we can absorb their powers, and killing another Sanctified deems us Unforgiven." A small flower grows rapidly in the falling snow. Just as quickly as it grew, the flower wilts away. "I'm still trying to get a hang of that. After all, plants are just my secondary power."
  
  Haylie rushes onto the scene. "Get away from him!" She commands. Rain starts to fall around Haylie. A light sunshower turns slowly into a thunderstorm as she walks closer.
  
  > choose a Side
  You stand between Haylie and Isabella. You hear the rolls of thunder from one side and the howl of a blizzard on the other.
  
  "She's a traitor Dylan!" Haylie shouts. "One of the Unforgiven!"
  
  "She doesn't understand me Dylan. We can do so many things between the two of us. I was trying to figure out the best way to open up to you. I tried avoiding you so I could think. But you always tried to be near me." Said Isabella.
  
  "It's because I love you." You reply.
  
  Haylie steps forward. "Well, I love you!" She exclaims.
  
  You turn to see Haylie breathing heavily. Her eyes begin to water and tears join the raindrops rolling down her face. Her storm gets stronger.
  
  You look back and forth between them.
  
  > go to Isabella
  You walk slowly over towards Isabella.
  
  "No!" Screams Haylie. She shoots lightning at you to stop you. You shoot fire to intercept it.
  
  > shoot back at Haylie
  The fire leaves your hand and hits Haylie. She beings to burn as more of her gets set aflame. "I will never forgive you for this!"
  
  You stand with your arm around Isabella. "I guess that's why they call us Unforgiven, huh?" You smile maniacally as you walk towards Haylie. You put your hand above her and you drain all of her power slowly as she dies. You lift your hands and you look at them. One hand holds a small flame while the other tingles with dancing sparks of electricity.
