Riley Swan has no idea what was coming for her in this new town with her sister, she just knew that Bella has made a promise to protect her, and then they ended up surrounded by the supernatural...

"You're right, it's certainly not the sort of place that I should be" Riley muses as she sat on the corner, everyone else dancing and chatting lively as she hid away while on her phone. "But, at least I'm being somewhat supportive to Bella, that's all that matters"
"No" The other end spoke in annoyance, "what matters right now is you just finished high school and you're hiding in a corner. I'm coming to get you"
"Paul, I'm fine. Seriously, I'm sure Jasper is around here somewhere..." Riley mumbled the end but to herself, glancing around the room for the sight of a Cullen, she only found Athena consuming a concerning amount of alcohol. "Definitely not my scene"
"I'm coming to get you" Paul simply stated, before he seems to argue with someone on the other end, but Riley could only hear a woman's voice and his, she waited patiently as she tapped her foot to the beat of the music. "Okay, Me and Alisha are coming to get you"
"Alisha and I" Riley corrected, before her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why is Alisha coming?"
"Her excuse was that I should come with back up, but I think she secretly wants to see that Cullen guy" Paul responded smartly, before there was a loud slap on the other. "Emily!"
Riley let out a laugh into the phone as she shook her head at the boy, "Okay, I'll tell Jas that you're on your way with Alisha"
"I'm keeping you on the phone, if you think I'm going to end the call because I've got to drive...you're mistaken"
Riley just rolled her eyes in response, "you really should—"
She cut herself off as she saw the commotion happening near the main stairs, firstly was the fact that Jake, Embry and Quil were here together and the second thing was that Alice was having a vision.
"Riley?? Ri???" Riley heard it loudly from her phone and she realised that she dropped her arm at the scene, she swiftly bright her phone back to her ear.
"Paul, you need to get here quickly, Alice had another vision, and it doesn't look good at all"

Riley had her arms crossed over in front of her stomach, feeling unsettled by the whole ordeal as everyone read surrounded around a random room, Jasper's arm was around her shoulder as he used his empathetic abilities on her, somewhat charming her around as Alice explained her visions to the group.
"They'll be here in four days" Alice added on afterwards, her eyes scanning around the group.
"This could turn into a blood bath" Carlisle stated as he leaned back onto the window ledge that Bella and Edward were currently sitting on.
"Who behind this?" Edward questions, his eyes turning up to face Alice, who was holding onto her mate tightly.
"I didn't see anyone I recognised" Alice concludes, secretly saying it want any of their current enemies. "Maybe one"
Edward perks up in his place, "I know his face, he's local, Riley Bears. He didn't start this"
"Whoever did is staying out of the action" Alice responds, and Riley nods in agreement as Jasper's grip improves as he tenses up, she grabs his hand to comfort him.
"It must be playing with the blind spots in your vision" Carlisle adds, which annoys a few of the members.
"It has to be Victoria, she's the only one that's played around with it before" Riley concludes, her arms shifting around slightly at the tension in the room, Jasper nods silently.
"Either way, the army is coming and there aren't enough of us to protect the town" Jasper says, and Jacob glances at him alongside Athena.
"Count me in" Athena nods, "I'll be able to bring them down and start a few fires"
"Me too, with a little training, of course..." Riley mumbles the ending part to Jasper, who sends her a small smile of acknowledgement.
"Hold up, what damn army" Jacob cuts in, sending a small look to Riley, to say he doesn't agree that she should play a part in it, which causes her to silently huff at him.
"New borns, our kind" Carlisle answers shortly.
"What are they after?" Embry asks, and Riley sinks on to Jasper's arms slightly as he glanced at her.
"They were passing around Bella's scent, a red blouse" Alice says, and Athena's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"That was my shirt, they stole my shirt for Bella's scent?" Athena quizzes, shooting a small glare to Bella.
"Not the time" Riley states lowly to Athena, who shakes her head.
"Either way, they better return it, it costs thirty bucks" Athena pouts slightly, and Emmett wraps his arm around her waist and tugs her back slightly, telling her to calm down.
"They're after Bella? What the hell does this mean?" Jake asks.
