displeased and avoided.

surprised because Edward offered to deliver Bella to Seattle. Bella agreed to
the offer. The next day, when Biology lessons Edward skipped the lesson.
Because, the lesson for that day was to classify blood. During the lesson Bella
could not smell blood. Bella half fainted, then carried by Mike to UKS. In the
middle of the corridor Bella and Mike meet Edward. Edward finally took Bella to
UKS. Edward felt amused when he discovered that Bella was allergic to blood but
there was also a sad smile on his face.
Bella and her friends
plan to go to LaPush beach. Bella meets Jacob Black, his childhood friend.
Father Jacob sold the truck to Bella. At that time one of Bella's friends named
Lauren discussed the Cullen family. Jacob's friend said that the Cullens could
not go to LaPush beach. However, Bella thinks that there is something like a
message behind those words. Finally Bella intends to extract information from
Jacob, Bella also invites Jacob to take a walk on the beach alone. Jacob tells
the legend of the Quileute tribe, the Cullens are Vampire but the Cullens are a
"civilized" Vampire. Jacob also said that this legend was just nonsense
and nonsense. This is the question that is always in Bella's mind. Is the story

eats. Edward tells him that he can read someone's mind except Bella. Bella is
very surprised to hear that. Bella says what she knows about the Cullens.
Knowing that family is Vampire. The most important of all is that vampire food
is blood. Edward also told that the vampire did not burn when he saw the sun.
Edward invites Bella to see how the Vampire is exposed to the sun. They also
canceled the departure to Seattle.
Vampire skin glows like
a diamond when exposed to sunlight. It was at this place that Edward expressed
his heart that he had been quiet for so long. That how difficult Edward was
when he was near Bella because he had to resist his savage lust to kill Bella.
Because the aroma of Bella's blood is opium for Edward. That was what caused
Edward to be unfriendly on the first day. Only Bella's mind cannot be read
because Bella has holy blood. Therefore, that makes Edward curious about Bella.

emotions he wants. Emmet is Rosalie's partner. Emmet has the largest body among
the other brothers. He also became the strongest.
The Cullen family plans
to play Baseball. They played in the middle of the forest when the weather was
cloudy because it needed a very large and thunderous lightning for the Vampire
to be able to play Baseball. This is because they have strong power and will
cause noise when they play baseball when the weather is clear. In the middle of
the game came the nomadic Vampire named James, Victoria and nLaurent. They are
passing through the area and intend to play in the match. The Cullen family was
alarmed because these nomadic vampires did not know that Bella was human. They
all marched sideways to get to know each other. Suddenly Bella's hair was blown
by the wind and the body of the Vampire-Vampire stiffened due to the tempting
aroma of Bella's body.

trick James. James will certainly follow the smell of Bella. Esme and Rosalie
will look after Charlie. Alice and Jasper will accompany Bella away to a distant
place, Phoenix.
The strategy went quite
smoothly until James realized that he was chasing the wrong person. According
to Alice's vision, James went to the airport and flew to Phoenix. Bella, Jasper
and Alice are only in a hotel room and Bella is not allowed to leave the room.
Until one day Bella gets a call from her
mother who only calls Bella's name. Apparently the one who called it was James.

instructions said by James. With the help of Alice and Jasper having special
talents, Bella must use tricks to get out of their supervision.

arms. James managed to bite Bella. That's when Edward and his family appeared, Emmet
and Jasper killed James.
