Head's Began Flying

Chapter 7

They went from car, to airplane, to another car, and Filene found herself in Italy… wow.

Filene wasn't able to look at the scenery, what with Alice making the car accelerate on the long road, passing cars and farm trackers -which Filene thought was illegal. Filene thanked god in heaven that he invented seatbelt, Alice was worse than Edward of the road.

"I'm guessing you didn't rent this car?" Bella asked.

"I figured you wouldn't be opposed to grand theft auto." Alice said.

"Not today." Bella agreed.

Bella noticed the look on Alice's face. "What? What do you see?"

Filene, whom was at the moment praying to all the gods she could think of, paid attention.

"They refused him." Alice said.

"So?" Bella urged Alice to continue.

"He's gonna make a scene." Filene guessed.

Alice and Bella looked at Filene in surprise, Filene shrugged.

"I listen when you guys talk." Filene defended herself.

Alice shook her head and turned back to Bella. "Yes, he's going to show himself to the humans."

"No! when?" Bella demanded to know.

"He's gonna wait until noon, when the sun's at its highest." Alice answered.

"God, Alice, you got to hurry up." Bella pleaded.

Alice nodded to the city before them. "There's Volterra."

Bella and Filene looked out the window, Filene then turned to Bella. "Shall I start writing our will?"

They reached the city, however, people in red cloaks were getting in the way. Alice had to honk a few times to get them away from the car.

"Why are they all in red?" Bella asked in a panicked voice.

"San Marco's Day festival." Alice answered. "They're commemorating the expulsion of vampires from the city."

This, to Filene, did not seem to be helping Bella's panic attack.

"It's the perfect setting." Alice told the Swan sisters sarcastically. "The Volturi will never let him get far enough to reveal himself."

"We have five minutes." Bella panted, looking at the clock.

Filene took a chance and unbuckled herself to reach over and pulled her sister's arms down from pulling her hair. "We know, Bella, just breathe."

Suddenly they stopped as some police officers went in front of the car. "Go, you and Bella must go, and bring Livy with you."

Like I would go anywhere without my Livy. Filene thought as she got out of the car.

"Alice?" Bella said.

"Bella, you're the only one he can't see coming." Alice explained quickly. "If I go, he'll read my thoughts, he'll think I'm lying and rush into it."

"Then why am I going?" Filene asked.

"You can get Bella over to him faster, and he won't believe that you would come to his rescue." Alice told Filene.

Filene nodded in agreement.

"Where do I go?" Bella asked.

"He'll be under the clock tower. Go!" Alice shouted.

Bella and Filene did just that, funny enough, Filene was the fastest as she pushed everyone out of the way like a bulldozer and dodging other people like a football player.

I might just sign myself up when we get back home. Filene thought, her adrenaline kicking in over time.

"Fuori dalla mia strada! hormonial incazzato ragazza adolescente, che passa!" Filene shouted out in Italian, and was amazed at how many got out of her way quickly, she suddenly felt like Moses parting the red sea… instead of the sea it was the people in red cloaks.

Filene turned a corner and groaned. "I hate going up stairs! Ow cramp!"

The crowd began to chant and cheer as Filene and Bella finally found the bell tower.

"Go Bella!" Filene screamed, push her sister forward before starting to shove a way through the people to help her sister get closer to the tower.

As they ran through the crowds and pass the little parade there, they stopped at the fountain, catching their breath. Filene was horrified at the sound of the clock tower chiming. She looked over and gasped; Edward was slowly walking out towards the sun, unbuttoning his shirt, and slowly began taking it off. Bella began running towards Edward by running across the fountain, Filene followed suite, and as Filene watched Edward walk into the sun, and began to sparkle as Bella described to her once.

The words that came to mind was. That's it?

Her heart, hormones, body, and Filene were not impressed with Edward's body.

Hormones: that looks disgusting, I'm not impressed. What does Bella see in him again?

Heart: yeah! Our werewolves are much more healthier looking than Edward!

The others couldn't agree more

Filene said out loud. "That's not sparkly like diamonds, more like 'I had a pixie dust fight with Tinkerbelle'"

Bella couldn't hear this of course as she leaped onto Edward, trying to force him back into the shadows.

"Heaven." Edward muttered as he held Bella close.

"You have to move." Bella told him. Open your eyes, look at me! I am alive."

Edward wasn't listening.

"HEY DUMBASS!" Filene shouted. "OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!"

Now he listened and looked at Bella. "Bella."

As Bella moved Edward backwards, Filene quickly followed, looking at the crowd, and only saw on little girl looking at them, Filene smiled in relief as she quickly closed the door.

"You're here." Edward spoke.

"I'm here." Bella reassured Edward.

"You're alive." Edward said happily.

"I'm alive." Bella repeated.

Filene didn't know whether to take Livy out and kill Edward, or go back outside to give them a moment, but with other vampires around, Filene just took Livy out and looked around. Walking away from the two a little bit, not too far.

"I needed to make you see me once." Bella said. "You had to know that I was alive, that you didn't have to feel guilty about anything. I can let you go now."

Yes, and be with Jake for the rest of her life. Filene sneered, and then remembered that Edward could hear her, but it looked like he didn't hear her.

Edward shook his head. "I never acted out of guilt, I just couldn't live in a world where you don't exist."

"Filene says what?" Filene asked.

"But you said…"

"I lied." Edward interrupted Bella. "I had to lie, but you believed me so easily."

Filene felt a moment was coming on, so she turned her back on them, holding Livy like a putter.

"Because it doesn't make sense for you to love me." Bella said softly. "I mean, I'm nothing. I'm human, I'm nothing."

Filene had to roll her eyes.

"Bella, you're everything to me." Edward told her. "You're everything."

The next thing Filene heard was the sound of hard breathing and kissing sound. She wanted to gag, until she saw who was coming towards the gates.

"Um guys, I hate to break a moment but, someone small and big with red eyes are coming this way." Filene said, readying her bat.

Edward and Bella looked over as the gate opened and two people came out, un hooding themselves and looked at the three of them. Of course Edward puts Bella behind him and Filene.

"I won't be needing your services after all gentlemen." Edward told the two.

"Aro wants to speak to you again." one of them said.

"No rules were broken." Edward said.

"Nonetheless, we should take this conversation to appropriate venue." the small one said.

Filene snorted. "And where is that? Your lair?"

"Filene." Edward warned.

The smaller man looked over at Filene and… checked her out? Filene couldn't believe it as the man smiled at her.

"Fiery." he commented.

"Fine." Edward interrupted the man. "Bella, Filene, why don't you go and enjoy the rest of the festival?"

"The girls comes with us." the taller one growled, scaring the crap out of Filene, but of course, she wasn't showing that to the man that was still eyeing her.

"No." Edward disagreed. "You can go to hell."

Filene gaped at Edward, she never once heard him swear, well… not since Emmett and her burnt his favourite jacket.

The locks breaks easily and Alice walks in, taking her sunglasses off and her bandanna. "Come on, guys."

She walked in, making the other two vampires take a step back.

"It's a festival, you wouldn't want to make a scene." Alice said.

"Yeah." Filene agreed. "Wouldn't want those people to see your sparkly head go sailing out the door into someone's hands."

Both of the vampires raised an eyebrow at Filene before the big one said. "We wouldn't."

Suddenly a much smaller person came out from the gates. "Enough."

Filene saw shocked to see a girl that looked around her age, and looked more demonic than a pissed off Jasper.

"Jane." Edward greeted.

"Aro sent me to see what was taking so long." Jane said.

She took looks at her fellow red eyed vampires before looking at me for a second, and turning away. Filene looked over and saw Edward walking beside Bella, following her. Filene was about to say something when Alice grabbed her arm, away from the smaller man, and gave her a look.

"Just do as she says." Alice told Filene.

Filene nodded, but gripped her Livy tight as she made eye contact with the nomad. He inhaled, and when he opened his eyes, they had darken. Alice immediately pulled Filene close and glared at him.

They were walking down the stairs before Jane turned to Edward and Bella. "Go ahead."

Neither of them questioned and continued to walk.

"Don't be scared." Edward whispered to Bella.

"Are you?" Bella asked.

There was a silence before he answered. "No."

Jane scoffed.

Filene leaned to Alice's ear. "Out of all the vampires around us, I'm more afraid of the demon girl."

"As you should be." Jane said, grinning at Filene as if she just complimented her.

Filene just more scared, holding Alice's hand hard and keeping her Livy close to her body.

The big vampire opened a door that led to… an elevator. Everyone walked inside as Filene looked at the thing in disbelief before walking in her self. Big and small nomad were behind them, Edward was in front of the big nomad, then Bella and then Filene whom was in front of the smaller nomad and Alice was beside Filene. Jane was in front of them all, pressing a button as the door closed.

Then it got quiet, opera was singing in the background, Filene cleared her throat. "Well, this isn't awkward at all."

The nomad behind her snorted in amusement as Alice nudged Filene's side gently. Finally the elevator stopped and opened the door. They passed whom looked like a secretary, greeted them all in Italian.

"Grazie, buona giornata miss." Filene replied back as they walked by.

The woman looked shocked before smiling.

As they walked away, Bella asked. "Is she human?"

"Yes." Edward answered.

"Does she know?" Bella wondered.

"Yes." Edward repeated.

"Then, why would…" Bella stopped. "She wants to be."

"And so she will be." the nomad said.

"Or dessert." Jane added.

"I wouldn't be surprised." Filene mumbled.

Jane opened the door, and Filene was surprised at the room

"Nice, I must get the name of his decorator." Filene commented softly.

"Sister." a deep voice spoke, bringing Filene's eyes forward to a…

Hormones/body/Filene: WOW!

Head: There they go again.

Hormones: there's an actual vampire that's better looking!

"They send you out to get one and you bring two." He said before he landed on Bella and Filene. "Oh, and one more, you clever girl."

INCEST!

Hormones: DAMN!

"What a happy surprise!" The man in the middle rejoiced. "Bella is alive after all! Isn't that wonderful?"

The way he smiled as he walked towards Edward, kind of freaked Filene out and she pulled Bella a bit away from Edward, keeping their hands together and but with Filene in front of Bella.

"I love a happy ending." the nomad that Filene guessed was Aro said, taking Edward's hand that was holding Bella's away, making Bella gasp, and Filene to roll her eyes. "Yes, they are so rare."

And I wonder whose fault is that? Filene thought sarcastically.

Aro gasped, looking at Edward, before speaking Italian a bit and looking to Bella. "Hey blood appeals to you so much, it makes me thirsty."

Filene immediately went in front of her sister, tightening her grip on Livy. Jane and her brother watched Filene in interest.

"How can you stand to be so close to her?" Aro asked Edward.

"It's not without difficulty." Edward answered.

"I can see that." Aro chuckled before looking over to Filene, then to Bella.

Edward turned his head a little to the Swan sisters. "Aro can read every thought I've ever had with one touch."

"That must be embarrassing." Filene commented.

Aro grinned as he continue to rub Edward's hand.

"And now you know everything." Edward said. "So get on with it."

"Not everything." He said before looking over to Filene. "I can only see, bits and pieces of her…"

He stopped, going wide eyed before looking at Filene as if in awe. "You fought a nomad, and survived?"

Now Filene had all the attention from the vampires, she just shrugged. "I'm here aren't I?"

"So you are." Aro replied before looking back to Edward.

"You are quite a soul reader yourself, Edward." Aro said. "Though you can't read Bella's thoughts, and only can read little of Filene's thoughts. Fascinating."

Filene was surprised, she didn't know that.

Aro backed away from Edward and looked over to the Swan sisters. "I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts, as well."

Aro took his hand out to Bella. " Would you do me the honor? Eldest first… though I think Filene was born way before you."

Filene watched as Bella hesitated before reaching her hand out to Aro. Who grabbed it and cradled her hand in his own, Filene hoped he doesn't do the same.

Quick head, start blocking the memories of the wolves!

Head: just the wolves?

Yes, now, do it quickly!

Aro's smile disappeared. "Interesting, hmm. I see nothing."

He now looked over to Filene, whom stiffened, his smile returned as he quickly took her hand, and started to get it. Filene tried really hard not to pull her hand away or whack him upside the head with Livy, waiting for him to finish. Aro slowly looked up at Filene, looking a bit amused, but his eyes darkened right before her eyes.

"My, my, what a little protector you are, but I see something blocking some of the other memories, like a brick wall I can't get through without a password, incredible." Aro said. "And you smell… like chocolate and oranges."

Filene raised an eyebrow. "Uhh… thanks?"

Aro smiled before letting go of her hand, and turning away towards the two men that were on the throne. "I wonder if… Let us see if Bella is immune to all our powers, shall we Jane?"

Jane looked over to the two, but Edward was having none of it.

"No!" Edward shouted.

"Pain." and with one word, Edward collapsed onto the ground, groaning in pain.

"Stop! Please stop!" Bella tried running towards Jane.

"Nimrod! Get back here!" Filene hissed.

The boy that was standing beside Jane grabbed Bella's wrist tightly.

Bella grunts. "Stop! Just stop hurting him! Please! Please!"

"Shouting at them is not going to get you any where!" Filene shouted before lifting Livy up threatening towards the boy's head.

"Jane?" Aro said, looking from Filene to the bat then to the blond girl.

It took a moment but Jane turned to Aro. "Master?"

Edward sighed in relief as the pain went away, Filene grinned.

"Go ahead, my dear." Aro told Jane.

Bella stiffened as Jane smirked and slowly looked to Bella. Bella was ready to take on the pain, Filene was ready to make the boy whom was holding Bella head go flying out the window.

"This may hurt just a little." Jane said.

There was silence, and as moments went by, Jane's smirk began to disappear.

Aro laughed excitedly, clapping. "Remarkable! Now, to Filene my dear."

Filene was not really paying attention, she was more paying attention on how exactly she would be able to keep the boy still long enough to hit him, and what angle to go on to make his head go flying out the roof window.

"Filene!" someone called.

She turned head. "Hmm, what. What were you saying?"

Bella looked stunned, as did all the other vampires, Jane just looked pissed off. Aro then smiled again before clapping.

"Wonderful! They confounds us all!" Aro said. "So what do we do with you now?"

"You already know what you're going to do, Aro." the man on the right said.

"They know too much." said the man to the right that reminded Filene of the Malfoy men in Harry Potter. "They're a liability."

"Hmm." Aro sighed disappointedly. "That's true, Felix?"

The boy let Bella go and returned to his sister, Bella turned and gasped as she saw the big one come.

"No." Edward whispered before putting Bella behind him and charged after Felix.

"Excellent idea Edward, you deal with the with the big one,, Alice… okay you're tied right now, I'll deal with the gay ones." Filene said.

"Who are you calling gay you human!" one vampire growled before charging towards Bella.

He didn't have time to stop Filene from swinging her baseball bat to his head, smashing like a vase. Filene looked to see the big guy heading toward Bella with Edward on the ground.

"Do I have to do everything myself!" Filene shouted before dodging a swipe from one of the vamps, heading towards Felix.

Only to see Edward was back on his feet, Filene nodded before smacking one of the charging vampires in the knee caps before heading head go flying towards Jane and her brother whom had dodged the flying head and were now wide eyed as they watch her fight the vampires. Aro especially watched in fascination as Filene took on some of the other.

"Magnificent." Aro whispered.

"Filene!" Alice shouted out.

"No time!." dodge. "Busy right now." flying head. "Talk later!"

Filene jumped to the ground when Edward and Felix went flying over head.

"Watch where ya going!" Filene shouted before pulling Bella a little before hitting a vampire.

"Enough, leave Filene alone." Aro commanded. "I don't want to lose anymore of my guards."

As the guards backed away, Filene was panting, and her adrenaline was on, full time, she shook with a force and was ready when another vamp went near Bella or her. She watched as Edward was getting his ass kicked, wow.

"Oh come, I took on five vamps and he's still having trouble with the one." Filene whined.

"Eight Filene." Aro told her. "Eight of my guards you took on."

Filene blinked. "Either I am stronger than Edward, or your guys are weak."

Aro laughed, while some of the said guards snarled, but stopped at Aro's hand left. Filene found it funny how Aro and her were having a talk while Edward was loosing. Finally the fight was over, Felix made Edward kneel before Aro, ready to rip his head off.

"Please! No! No! Please, please!" Bella cried out in hysterics.

Aro stopped Felix before looking to Bella. Filene looked over to the guy holding Alice, raising an eyebrow.

"Excuse me, will you let go of my friend there?" Filene asked, lifting Livy that was now covered in vamp dust -ew!-.

He looked at the bat before letting Alice go slowly, Filene nodded in thanks before looking back to her sister.

"Kill me! Kill me! Not him." Bella begged.

"Oh my god! What is freakin with you guys and death!" Filene almost shouted in annoyance.

Aro looked surprised at Bella's request and walked slowly towards Bella and Filene. "How extraordinary, you would give up your life for someone like us; a vampire, a soulless monster. And after your sister here killed my guards to keep you safe?"

"Just get away from her!" Edward hissed.

"You don't know a thing about his soul." Bella said.

Aro spoke in Italian for a moment before looking over to Edward with a sigh. "This is a sadness, if only it were your own intention to give her immortality."

Aro walked closer to Bella, Filene took a step towards Aro when Jane's brother got her into a body check, and to keep her from moving, he nuzzled Filene's neck. Filene went absolutely still.

"My name is Alec." He whispered to Filene's ear. "And I'll be the one to make you mine."

"In your dreams cocksucker!" Filene whispered harshly, struggling against him.

She felt the ass smile against her neck.

"Wait!" Alice cried out as Aro was about to take a bite out of Bella.

Aro looked disappointed as he licked his lips.

"Bella will be one of us." Alice told him. "I've seen it, I'll change her myself."

"Like hell you are!" Filene choked out.

Aro reached a hand out to Alice, she walks towards him, taking her glove off and held Aro's hand. Filene, for some strange reason, saw an image of Bella and Edward… frolicking in the woods, very disturbing.

"Mesmerizing." Aro commented. "To see what you have seen before it has happened."

Aro let go of Alice's hand before walking back to Bella and Filene but closer to Bella. "Your gifts will make for an intriguing, immortal, Isabella."

He turned slowly to Filene. "And you, oh, you Filene, it would a great honor once you join our clan."

Filene's eyes widen in shock, she was a freakin leader in the Volturi!

"Go now." Aro ordered. "Make your preparations."

Alec inhaled into Filene's hair one last time before letting her go and walked back to his sister. Filene immediately ran to Alice's side whom held Filene close and was growling softly at a smiling Alec, and a amused Jane.

"Let us be done with this." man on the right said. "Heidi will arrive any moment."

"Thank you, for your visit." he said, smiling a little.

"We will return the favor." Malfoy said. "I would advise that you follow through on your promise soon. We do not offer second chances."

Filene, Alice, Edward, and Bella walked quickly away.

"Goodbye, my young friends." Aro said.

The group followed Dmitri as Filene found out from Alice through the hallway and met up… with tourists and a beautiful tour guide.

"Nice fishing, Heidi." Dmitri complimented.

"Yes, they look rather juicy." Heidi said with a grin.

"Save some for me." Dmitri whispered quickly.

Filene was horrified to see a little boy in the group, heading straight towards the nomad's room. She almost turned back but Alice held a firm grip on her and had to drag Filene quickly through the door before the people began screaming.
