Chapter 2
Filene stood beside Emmett and Rosalie as they waited for Bella and Edward. Filene was in her nice black jeans, a red blouse, and high heeled boots, Alice gave her a rose to put behind her ear. Filene thanked Carlisle and Jasper for reining Alice in from dressing her up like a doll. Now, as they wait, Emmet and Filene were trying to count how many candles in the room, but the other would mess each other up. After getting bored of that, they would blow out one of the candles and stick their finger into the wax and start making waxed fingers.
"Emmett, Filene." Alice scowled at the two before heading up stairs.
Filene and Emmett pulled their fingers out and looked at each other before snorting at each other, only to stop when they saw Rosalie giving them the look, Filene instantly hid behind Emmett, poking her head from behind. Carlisle tried holding back a smile lighting the candles again, while the others laughed quietly.
"Rosalie." Esme warned.
Rosalie looked away, just as Alice, Edward and Bella came walking down the stairs, Filene turned to the CD player on the table and hit 'Play' and music came through the speakers. Carlisle is the first to go to Bella and Edward, everyone else followed.
As the Cullens wished Bella a happy birthday, Emmett, and Filene walked up to Edward and watched as the others continued hugging and all the jazz. Emmett turns to Edward, giving him a funny grin.
"Dating an older woman," Emmett said. "Hot."
Edward and Filene looked at him; Filene raising an eyebrow and Edward sighing exasperatedly. Emmett's grin disappeared, and was replaced by a confused look.
"What?" Emmett asked, looking confused, making Filene snicker.
As the Cullens continued to wish Bella and Happy birthday and begin giving her presents. Filene decided to go into the living room (lol living room, in a vampire's house.) to see what kept Bella and Edward from coming down early. Her attention was instantly caught sight of the portrait of three vampires and Carlisle in a corner. She was taking a closer look when she heard shouts and crashing down stairs.
"Bella!" Filene shouted in fear as she opened the door.
The breeze from the doors opening made Jasper swerve his head towards Filene, along with the others. Filene only had eyes for her sister whom lay on the ground, bleeding. Carlisle was at her side, and the others began to walk away from the room, Edward stood there and watched as Carlisle walked Bella away from the room and into his office. He slowly turned to Filene with the most pathetic look on his face.
"Filene, I'm sorry." Edward whispered before leaving the room as well.
Filene still stood there, looking at all the chaos which had been beautiful when she left.
"What happened?" she muttered to herself as she walked down the stair.
She could some blood stains on the carpet; one was a small drop, while the other parts of the carpet had bigger drops of blood and broken glass.
"Filene." Carlisle called.
She looked up and towards the open door to see Carlisle standing there; he gave her a gentle before nodding his head. "Come on, Bella needs you."
Filene jogged to the door and headed straight for Bella, whom was leaning against the table. Carlisle walked up to them and began to work on Bella's arm.
"Bella, I am so sorry, if I hadn't left I would have..." Filene started.
"Would have what Filene?" Bella asked, exasperated.
"I don't know! Something!" Filene replied, crossing her arms as she leaned against the table.
"Filene, calm down." Carlisle ordered gently.
The swan sisters relaxed, Filene watched as Carlisle took out the glass from Bella's arm in fascination, while Bella winced once in a while.
"I never wanted to have a party." Bella said.
"It's not your fault." Carlisle replied. "Jasper hasn't been away from human blood as long as the rest of us."
"But, didn't you say something about how I do not get to him, like Bella does?" Filene asked.
"You don't affect any of us Filene." Carlisle told her. "Even when you were bleeding in the field, your blood… it didn't call to us, which that itself, seems fascinating."
Filene looked at Carlisle for a second before looking at all the paintings around them then looking back at him. "How do you do it?"
Carlisle looked over to Filene with a grin. "Years and years of practice."
Filene gave him an amused look before watching work on Bella. Finally Filene began to wince as Carlisle sewed up Bella's arm. Instead she turned to where Bella's hand was on Carlisle side; of course Filene knew she was hold it there because Carlisle needed to have a view on her arm, but Filene had to raise an eyebrow at it.
Head: That looks too comfortable.
Heart: Hey, don't be giving Filene and others any ideas, he is married to Esme.
Filene: Heart, since when were you the wise one in this suite?
Heart: …. Since now.
"Did you ever think of just doing it the easy way?" Bella asked, bringing Filene back from her mind.
"No." Carlisle answered. "I knew who I wanted to be, I wanted to help people. It brings me happiness, even if I am damned regardless."
Filene looked to Carlisle, looking concerned as Bella spoke. "Damned? Like, hell?"
Carlisle looked at Bella for a moment before he continued to clean off the rest of the blood.
Filene scoffed in disbelief.
"Carlisle, you couldn't be damned." Bella said.
"Yeah, you couldn't." Filene agreed. "It's impossible."
"Thank you, the both of you." He looked to Bella. "You've always been very gracious about us, while Filene may be cautious around us, but she still gives us a chance."
"She is right here." Filene said. "I may go flying into space, but that doesn't mean I can't hear."
Carlisle smiled at her, and if weren't it not for him being a vampire and married, Filene would have melted right there. Can you blame her?
Bella thought for a second before the expression of realization came to her face. "So that's it? That's why he won't change me?"
Filene rolled her eyes. 'Here we go again.'
"Imagine the situation in reverse. Hmm?" Carlisle said as he picked up a long stick match and put it in the flame of the candle. "If you believed as Edward does, could you take away his soul?"
He placed the match into a bowl of the glass and napkins that were in it and set it on fire. Filene took a guess and figured that was what they did back in Carlisle's era.
Bella got up from the table. "I am going to go and see Edward, see if he is okay."
Filene followed Bella with her eyes as she opened the door and closed it, Filene sighed. "You know, I kind of hoped that Bella was just going through a phase like all the rest of the teenagers. But, I see now, that it has become an obsession for her."
Carlisle looked from the flamed bowl to Filene. "You are a teenager yourself, Filene, never forget that."
Filene looked to Carlisle as he turned his gaze to the bowl; she turned her gaze to the bowl as well.
"You are too young to be sounding like that." He said. "And as for Bella, don't you believe it's truly love?"
Filene snorted. "The only real love I have seen is from you guys, what Bella has, it is not love, love needs to grow, not freakin' happen on sight."
Carlisle picked up the disappearing flame in the bowl and poured a bit of water on the last of the flame before walking to the door, he turned around one last time to Filene with a gentle smile.
"Love doesn't need time, Filene." he said, and he disappeared. "It only needs to be known."
"…It does in my world." Filene mumbled as she got off the table before heading towards where Bella had left.
What she didn't see was the sad frown on Carlisle's face as he watched Filene go to Bella and Edward before following them into the car. He knew his children were behind him as he turned away from the window and to his family. Esme looked heartbroken; Carlisle walked to her before taking her in his arms and held her.
"Someone her age should not be looking like that." Rosalie grumbled. "Like she has been here for years."
Everyone looked at Rosalie in surprise, they knew she had a soft spot for Filene, but it was still a shock to see her worry about a human.
"She has an old soul." Carlisle said. "She still has the scars to prove that she has been through much."
The Cullens were silent as they replayed the battle they had witnessed in the field; it took the whole family to keep Emmett from running in and killing Victoria. They still got the shivers from thinking of that moment, and as I said before, they would never forget it.
Filene was already in the house as Bella and Edward talked. She was on her bed, looking at the spider web scars she had in her fight with Victoria, they haven't healed, sure it scabbed over, but they weren't going away. They did heal on her hands, but from the wrists and up, they weren't.
She shook her head as she took out her portable DVD out and put in The 13th Warrior and began to watch it.
She must have fallen asleep during the movie, because she was shaken awake by Bella.
"What is it?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"You told me to remind to have a shower so I am right now." Bella explained. "Because I'm going to bed."
"Okay, night." Filene mumbled as she wobbled her way to the bathroom.
When Filene came out of the bathroom, she saw Bella looking at a picture of herself and Edward, before she folded it so that it was only Edward in the picture. Actually the last time Filene saw the album, half of the pictures were of Edward. Filene shook her head before flopping on to her bed before covering herself with her wolf blanket, and as she went slowly to sleep, she wondered what will happen tomorrow.
It was like déjà vu to Filene; the Cullens have disappeared again.
Normally when they go hunting, they would take Bella with them to go 'camping', Filene didn't mind not coming, she loved animals too much to listen to Edward, Emmett, and Jasper telling her how they killed something. Like usual, Bella kept looking at the table they were normally at.
Everyone looked to Filene with questions in their eyes, but Filene only shrugged. Thankfully, she was getting picked up by Embry to go to Jacob's house again to play Bio Shock 2 and of course Mortal Kombat! After school, Bella was going back home of course. As Filene watched as Bella drive away in the truck, Filene felt something clench in her stomach.
'Something is wrong.' Filene thought.
When Embry came, her fear was still present, she couldn't get it out of her, she knew something had happened.
"Hey, Embry," Filene said as she got up on the bike, putting on her helmet. "I can't come over today, Bella hasn't been feeling well, and I have to make dinner tonight."
Embry frowned, but he nodded as he put on his helmet and gunned the engine before shooting out of the parking lot and towards the road. Filene couldn't help but cheer, and laugh as Embry pulled some stunts; she could feel the vibration of laughter from Embry as they headed to her house.
After saying good bye to Embry, she turned and practically jumped into the air as Edward stood behind her.
"HOLY JESUS IN THE BATH TUB!" Filene screeched. "Edward, I swear to god-"
"Filene." Edward interrupted.
Filene took a breath before looking at Edward, and saw that he was still wearing what he wore yesterday. Her stomach twisted.
"Edward, why are you still in that?" she asked.
There was a silence between them; Filene didn't like it, not one bit.
"Filene, my family and I, we're leaving." Edward told her.
"Leaving? All of you?" Filene asked. "Where to?"
They stared at each other for a moment before Filene realized what was happening.
"You're not going to tell me are you?" she asked.
Edward shook his head in answer.
"Did you tell Bella?" Filene asked in a bit of a panic.
Edward nodded again before answering. "She is in the woods behind your house, you better go to her."
Another silence came over them, and then Filene laughed in disbelief. "I don't believe it, Edward Cullen; the cool and steady vampire is running from the responsibility of his brother attacking his human girlfriend."
"Yes, I am running, but not from what happened yesterday yesterday was just a slap in the face from reality, and I can't be with Bella." Edward said.
"Edward, reality should have slapped you in the face the moment you smelled her scent." Filene told Edward. "Reality should have slapped you in the face when Bella was attacked by James; there are so many moments in the past months that reality should have slapped you."
Edward looked away, sighing. "I know, but… it's all over now."
"What?" Filene said.
"Bella is in the woods." he notified her. "Take care of her."
And with that he was gone; Filene blinked a few before dropping her things and sprinting into the woods.
'Why the hell did Edward leave Bella in the woods?' Filene thought in panic, thinking of the worst case scenario as she jumped over logs and rocks.
"Bella!" she shouted as she dodged a few branches and bushes. "Bella!"
'Did he forget that Victoria was still out there, ready to either kill Bella, him, or me?' Filene thought, her eyes widening.
This thought made her go faster, sadly though, her Clumsy-Bella-Swan DNA decided to take control, and made her left foot land in between two roots of a tree and making her twist her ankle. The pain shot through her from her ankle to her brain, telling her it was in pain. (Duh)
"Fuck!" Filene screamed as she collapsed onto the ground.
Filene held back her screams and cursing as she turned her body gently before taking her foot out between the roots. Tears were cascading down her face, but she bit her lip to keep from screaming, but she had to find Bella.
"Bella!" Filene practically cried out as she used Livy to help her stand up and used it as a mutated crutch. "Bella!"
A couple of hours later, Filene knew she was lost, and it was getting dark. Filene didn't mind the dark; it was just the things in the dark that freaked her out.
"I wish Doyle and the others were here." Filene whimpered
It's true, she has not seen her furry friends since Victoria attacked, and Filene feared that Victoria killed them all. Filene instantly shook her head of that thought; there was no way in hell that her six foot wolves could be killed by that bitch. Happy at that thought, she was about to call Bella's name again before she heard groans in the bushes.
"Bella?" Filene called out as she headed towards the sound.
As she got closer she sighed in relief to see that it was Bella, but she didn't look well. Bella was lying on the ground, curled up in a ball as she cried quietly.
"Bella!" Filene shouted as she landed on top of her big sister. "Bella? Are you okay? Speak to me!"
Bella slowly looked up from her chest and looked at Filene, choking a sound. "Filly?"
Filene nodded slowly before lying down beside her big sister and grabbing her hand. "Yeah Bells, it's me, you'll be okay."
Filene knew she couldn't do anything, not with her busted foot, but she can stay by Bell and try to comfort her. Filene used her other arm and pulled her sister close to her to keep the two warm until help came.
"Filly, he left, he left me." Bella whispered, repeating it again and again. "He left me."
"Shhh" Filene hushed Bella. "We'll be okay, we've been through this before, remember?"
Bella looked at Filene. "It has?"
"Yeah, remember? Reece? He was my boyfriend for six months, but I found him with Hanna." Filene told her. "This is exactly like it."
Bella shook her head. "But, Filly, I love him, I love him so much."
Bella began to cry as she clenched her hand around Filene's hand as she moved closer to her sister. Filene could feel Bella's sadness radiating from her body, and could help but began to cry herself, for her big sister's pain.
The Swan sister cried themselves to sleep, but as Filene was about to go to sleep, she saw a dark figure walking towards them, softly growling.
"Doyle?" Filene whispered as she slipped into the darkness.
Filene slowly awoke from her sleep, from the sound of grass rustling and the wind blowing through the tree branches and leaves. Filene opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of a warm body, a very warm one. She couldn't help snuggling more into the body. She opened her eyes again and looked up at… PAUL!
Head: Paul!
Hormones/Heart: HOTTY!
Body: Hot body!
Filene: Shut up!
Paul looked down at her before grinning. "Hey, you awake?"
'Why do I feel like I should be on a romance cover?' Filene thought.
"I think so, I don't usually dream about hot guys -literally- carrying me bridal style…" Filene thought for a second. "Then again, this has happened before only, under different circumstances."
"Where's Bella?" Filene asked, looking around herself.
"She's with Sam behind us." he answered.
Filene looked behind the… hot muscled arm and indeed saw Sam carrying Bella.
She blinked at Sam. "What is with you carrying us Swan girls?"
Sam smiled. "Because you always end up in trouble."
Filene wanted to protest, but she couldn't, not with her throbbing ankle. She looked at Bella with worry, she forgot to check if she was alright, but Bella's mental state was more important than her physical state.
"She's all right!" Sam said.
For a moment, Filene thought he was talking to her before she turned to the sound of a familiar voice.
"Filene, Bella!" Charlie shouted, heading towards the two.
"They're both okay, but Filene broke her ankle." Sam told Charlie as he passed Bella onto Charlie, whom was trying to show that carrying his older daughter was just as easy to hold as it was for Sam.
'Hold the phone, broke my ankle?' Filene thought. 'Since when? Shouldn't I be in more pain if it was?'
"I got her." Charlie said. "Thank you, Sam."
Jacob came to Filene and took her from Paul's arm. "Come on Filene."
"Jake." Filene whispered.
Head/Heart/hormones/body: JAKE!
Jake cradled Filene into his arms before nodding to Paul and taking Filene away and towards Charlie. Filene could feel her tired body thrum in happiness to be in Jake's arms.
"Never, disappear like that Filene." Jake grumbled. "You worried Embry, Quill and me."
"Sorry." Filene said, not really paying attention.
Jake looked to where Filene was looking at; it was Sam, whom was looking at the two of them, quite weirdly. Paul had already walked back into the woods. Jake turned away and walked after Charlie and Harry.
"That was a bit, weird." Filene mumbled.
Jake smiled down at her. "You have no idea."
Filene grinned back tiredly as she snuggled more into Jake's chest. Jake felt a bit awkward but, he held her closer as he headed to Charlie's police car to take Filene to the hospital.
Filene found herself back at her house a few hours later, her ankle would be fine in a few days, and already she got her cast signed by her friends in and out of school, all but Bella, whom was right now, sitting on a chair, and staring out the window in a daze.
Filene feared this would happen, she hoped, that Bella will heal with time.
How wrong she was.
