Chapter 4
Who is German and the English?
Filene left the guys to track Riley down while she made her way to the Cullen's house, praying to god it would be as awkward as last time.
Or I find that Edward has already turned Bella. she thought glumly as she got off her bike and made her way up to the door.
Only to be tackled by Alice.
"Filene!" she cried out as she latched herself onto Filene.
Of course Filene being human and Alice being a vampire, she felt as if a huge foot player had just slammed himself into her, and fell to the ground.
"I missed you!" Alice squealed before jumping off of her, smiling widely at her.
"You saw me at school Alice." Filene told her as she rubbed the back of her head before slowly getting up. "I need to talk to you, all of you."
Alice looked like she was about to say something when she turned and watched as Bella and Edward came to the door. Filene looked at the worried look on Edward's face and took one lucky guess.
"A vampire is after Bella again huh?" Filene asked.
The Cullens and Bella looked to each other in surprise.
Edward took a step forward. "You saw him?"
"I know him." she replied before looking to Carlisle. "His name is Riley, and I know Victoria is his maker."
"That's impossible." Alice said to Filene. "I would have seen it happen."
"You can't see everything Alice." Filene told her. "You might have been looking into something else when she done it."
"Let's take this inside." Carlisle said. "We are waiting for Jasper and Emmett's return."
Filene nodded and made her way inside the house, not even looking to the others as she sat down on one of the chairs and took her coat off with a sigh. Rosalie scrunched her face up in disgust and the others winced.
"God!" Rosalie whined. "Must you always smell like wet dog?"
"If I want to be near my family yes." Filene answered, looking to the blond vampire. "Excuse me if I don't feel like having you guys holding your breath around me like I am some nasty critter that just keeled over and died right on the floor. Or worse having you take one sniff of me and killing me on sight."
"We wouldn't do that Filene." Esme scolded. "You know that."
Filene raised an eyebrow. "Do I? you lot are quite unpredictable."
"So are those mutts!" Edward retorted.
Filene glared. "My life would be gone in a blink with you guys, at least I get a warning from them."
The Cullens looked away, Bella looked at Filene with a hint of disappointment, Filene gave it back with her own disappointment before looking away. Her mind was still on Riley, she remembered him, when Jessica and Angela took her to the new café in Port Angelus on her birthday, to get away from the zombie Bella and Jake, before she found out about werewolves and have just started living with Billy and Jake.
(Flashback)
"Welcome to the Cat's Scratch Café." their waiter greeted. "My name is Coleman and I shall be your waiter for the night, would any of you like something to drink?"
Filene and Jessica was looking at the menu together while Angela already knew what she would get. "Yeah, I would like a Pumpkin pie latte."
Jessica looked up from the menu and smiled flirty at the waiter whom smiled back. "I'll just have an espresso with low fat cream."
Filene looked up to the waiter as well. "I'll have the Chai latte please."
Coleman wrote down their orders before nodding, and gave the girls a smirk. "Okay, that's a pumpkin latte, Chai latte, and a espresso with low fat cream?"
The girls nodded.
"Alright, we will have them out in a jiffy." Coleman said.
"Thank you." Filene said with a smile as he walked off.
When he disappeared Jessica squealed. "How cute is he?"
"Very." Filene giggled.
"He's alright I guess." Angela said taking the menu from the now pouting Filene.
"Hey!" Filene whined. "I wasn't finished with that."
Angela ignored her, Jessica giggled and patted Filene's back in fake sympathy. "There there Filly."
Filene shook her head, about to reach for the dessert menu when a loud sound of laughter caught her attention, her head swerved to the group that was making noise and made eye contact with brown green eyes. He looked almost surprised as Filene was before he smiled shyly at her, nodding his head in greeting. Filene felt her face turn red and did a little wave that made him chuckle. The guy beside him heard him and turned his head, looking to him, to her.
Head: Well, hello cutie
Heart/hormones/body/Filene: GASP!
Hormones: is head actually…
Body: I think she is… but then again look at heart
Heart: *melting*
Filene looked away shyly and found two Cheshire smiling Angela and Jessica.
"God Filly, do you have like a radar for hot guys or something?" Angela asked in amusement, looking over to where the boy was. "Oooh this one is a keeper, he's looking over here."
"She's pinning for Jake, remember?" Jessica said.
Filene's happy mood gloomed. "Yeah, but he is pinning for Bella."
Angela gave Jessica a look before rubbing her shoulders. "Hey, this is your birthday Filly, you deserve a break from all the drama back in Forks."
"Here you go ladies." Coleman came back, placing the girl's drinks before placing a chocolate cheesecake in front of Filene.
Filene blinked down at the cake before looking up to Coleman. "I didn't order this."
Coleman smirked. "No, but the gentleman over there ordered it for you."
Filene looked to where he was pointing, and blushed. It was the guy from before, his grin just transformed into a smile. Filene couldn't help but smile back before looking away and back to the cake, before picking up the fork and taking a bite out of the cake.
Angela and Jessica gasped.
"Filene, you are so lucky." Jessica said, sighing.
Angela looked over to the guy and almost laughed at the sight of him looking so proud of himself and so god damned happy, as his friends patted his back in congrats.
"This is really good." Filene commented before taking a sip of her latte.
A couple of minutes later, as Coleman brought the girls' order of lunch, Jessica looked up from her salad and her eyes widen and her jaw dropped a little in surprise; catching the look, Angela and Filene turned to where she was looking and was surprised to see the boy come walking over to them, looking a little nervous and kept looking back to his friends who also kept making 'go on' movements.
"Oh my god!" Filene squeaked, looking away as her face went from warm to hot in a matter of second. "He's coming over!"
"Act natural." Jessica advised.
"That's reassuring." Filene mumbled to her.
"Excuse me?" a shy voice asked.
Filene slowly turned her head, and looked up to guy. He was smiling shyly, putting his hands into his pockets and making Filene want to glomp him right there and then. Filene reined herself though, not wanting to embarrass herself.
"Hey." Filene said softly, smiling a little.
"I'm Riley." he introduced himself, taking his hand out to her.
Filene had to hold back her laughter when she heard groans from her table and his, taking his hand in hers.
"Filene, Swan." she returned.
"This be straight forward but could my friends and I join you girls?" he asked.
"Yes!" Jessica almost shouted.
Angela, and Riley blinked at her in surprise while Filene covered her mouth from laughing loudly. Riley got his two other buddies from the table they were at and came over to the girls in a matter of seconds, confusing and annoying their waiters, which was hilarious to the teens.
(End of flashback)
At that moment, Jasper and Emmett came into the house, taking Filene back into the present.
"Who was it?" Carlisle asked Edward. "Someone we know?"
"This stranger." Edward said looking to Filene for a second before looking back to Carlisle. "I didn't recognize his scent."
"a nomad passing through?" Esme asked.
"A passerby wouldn't have left Bella and Filene's father alive." Rosalie said, still looking at Filene.
Jasper walked in. "The scent disappeared about five miles south of the girls' house."
"Someone's orchestrating this." Carlisle said.
"It's Victoria." Filene said with determination. "Who else would go this far?"
"Is it Victoria?" Bella asked.
Alice shook her head. "No, I have seen her decide."
"We can't always depend on you seeing things correctly Alice." Filene said.
"Enough Filene." Jasper ordered, looking down at her.
Filene looked away frowning. It's true.
"Has to be the Volturi." Edward said.
Bella started looking worried.
"I don't think it's the Volturi, either." Alice said. "I've been watching Aro's decisions, too."
"Maybe Filene is right." Rosalie said look up to her family. "Alice can't focus on two people at the same time."
"So we keep looking." Emmett said.
"We'll also take shifts guarding Bella at her house." Carlisle said before looking to Filene. "Filene, you have to stay with Bella-"
"I don't have to Carlisle." Filene interrupted. "I live in a den of werewolves, I'm as safe as can be."
"Another protection detail?" Rosalie asked in disbelief.
"Rosalie." Carlisle scolded.
"No she's right." Bella said looking to the Cullens. "You can't protect me, watch my dad and search for the intruder."
"And for Victoria." Rosalie added.
"And keep yourselves fed." Filene added as well.
"I'm not leaving you here defenceless." Edward disagreed.
"Well, I'm not gonna let you starve." Bella pleaded. "and I wouldn't be unprotected, I have…"
"You have got to be kidding me." Filene mumbled sitting up from the chair.
"What?" Edward asked.
"She has Jacob." Filene answered, pulling back her growl to keep it nonchalant.
The look on Edward's face settled Filene's body. Oh good I am not the only one here who thinks this is ridiculous.
The next morning, Jacob came to Bella and Filene's house with Bella and Jacob in the house while Filene and Edward waited outside.
They were a semi awkward silence as they waited fro Jake to 'sniff out' the intruder.
"You said the intruder is Riley, the guy Charlie has been looking for?" Edward asked.
Filene nodded. "Yeah, I saw him during… the zombie era if you must, on my birthday party with Jessica and Angela."
Edward nodded. "And you think Victoria has something to do with it?"
"I know it's Victoria Edward." Filene empathized on the 'know'. "Speak honestly Edward, when have I been wrong… when the time was needed?"
Edward looked thoughtful, but wasn't able to answer as Bella and Jake came out of the house.
"Whoever it was, he left his stink behind." Jake informed them. "It'll be hard to miss when we cross it again, we'll handle it from here."
"We don't need to handle anything." Edward retorted. "or anyone."
And here it comes. Filene thought, rolling her eyes at the to guys. Marking one's territory.
"I could care less what you need." Jake said to Edward, stepping forward.
"All right, we're done here." Edward said.
"No, you're done here." Jake retorted.
Tell me again why you paired me up with Jake again Sarah?
(NO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!)
"Stop!" Bella cried out. "I'm tired of this! From now on, I'm Switzerland, okay?"
"And who pray tell is the German and the English?" Filene asked.
So for the past few days they did work together, the wolves took over so the Cullens could hunt. It wasn't exactly an easy alliance as Bella has told Filene, but it was the way to go. Thankfully for Filene, she didn't have to watch Jake and Bella get closer together like the last time, she stayed with the guys, helping out Emily with the cooking or helping the guys who were still in school with their projects and homework.
Tomorrow night was going to be a meeting with the werewolves family and Filene was invited by Billy Black himself to join them that night, Filene was extremely honoured, and happy to be apart of the bond fire.
Filene couldn't wait for tomorrow night.
AN: OMG! I AM SO SORRY EVERYONE! BUT thankfully I was able to finish this…. Somewhat short chapter but a chapter no less I hope you like it!
So here is a song I had made for Filene, hope ya like it. Read AND REVIEW!
Filene's Song
So who cares if you're on your own
When everybody else has their life
And you have become their stepping stone
You see I try to become someone else
Just to be with you
But all that I do cuts me like a knife
I wanna be with someone
Someone who loves me for being me
I wanna be with someone
But I think it's over done
Cause I finally figured out
That I am on my own
You will probably see me with my friends
And think I'm happy
But that's only on the outside of the trends
When I am all alone, I think of the one
The one who could save me
From myself
I wanna be with someone
Someone who loves me for being me
I wanna be with someone
But I think it's over done
Cause I finally figured out
That I am on my own
What's the point of this song
If no one can hear me now
How can I find a place where I belong
God please for my sake
Send me the one for me
Because I do not want to be alone
And I do not want to feel this ache
Inside me
I wanna be with someone
Someone who loves me for being me
I wanna be with someone
But I think it's over done
Cause I finally figured out
That I am on my own
I wanna be with someone
Someone who loves me for being me
I wanna be with someone
But I think it's over done
Cause I finally figured out
That I am on my own
What's the point of this song
Will someone hear it
Will they be the one?
