Chapter 12

Bella spent the whole time Billy and jacob had visited worrying about whether or not Billy would tell Charlie that she was dating Edward. Billy did not tell Charlie anything at all, but he did warn Bella to "take care" around the Cullens before he left. The next day Edward asked a lot about the people that were involved in Bella's life like her mother, grandmother, past boyfriends, etc. At lunch Edward told her that he was leaving after lunch so that he and Alice, his sister, could hunt. He said that if he was going to spend the next day alone with her he did not want to take any risks of biting Bella. The rest of Bella's day went by slowly without him and she started to fret about what it would be like if she ever lost him. Mike asked her about the dance and Edward and she told him that Edward cancelled his plans for Seattle, which hypothetically he did, and that she was not going to the dance under any circumstances. On Saturday Edward was on her doorstep after Charlie had left and he told her where to go once they were in the car, Bella had decided that she was going to drive because his driving scared her. They basically drove to a faraway fringe of woods and started hiking to a place that was Edward's favorite place to be when it was sunny. They hiked for about two hours and finally came upon a shining grove with a stream, violet, yellow, and white lilies, and a magical aura surrounding it. Bella was so amazed she almost forgot the reason they came here, too see what happened when Edward stepped into the sun. Bella turned to face him and waited for him to join her in that magical grove.

Chapter 11

Over the next two days Bella and Edward seemed to be infatuated with each other. Bella having urges to just simply touch his face to see what it would feel like and Edward's love for Bella fighting his desire to drink her blood. Edward had bombarded Bella with questions about her life and she had answered them all as best she could. Mike had gotten angry at Bella because she was goin gout with Edward, he felt it wasn't safe that "Edward stares at [her] like [she's] something to eat." One night when Edward drops Bella off at home they sat in his car for hours asking and answering his questions until they decided it was late, but before Edward left a car pulled in and it turned out to be Jacob, who was completely oblivioulsy happy to see Bella, and his father Billy, who was terrified for Bella because she was interested with one of the Cullens.

Chapter 10

When Bella was ready to go to school in the morning she noticed that Edward was parked outside and waiting for her. He asked her if she wanted to go with him or go by herself, giving her a choice like she had a choice to have nothing to do with him or stay with him. Of course she chose to ride with him. When they got to school Edward told her that she was awaiting a bombardment of questions from Jessica. He said she would if if they were secretly dating and if she really likes him. Bella asked what she should say frantically and Edward told her to say yes to the first one and that he would be listening to her answer for the second one. Bella told Jessica that she really liked Edward, probably more than edward liked her, but Edward disagreed to that. During lunch they had talked more about Edward and how his family hunts and Bella was excited to see what was so cool about vampires and the sun on the day she was supposed to go to Seattle with Edward. He had asked her if they could stay out of the public view and she, of course, agreed with him.

Chapter 9

While Edward and Bella drove home Bella told Edward about the legends that Jacob told her concerning the "cold ones" and Edward seemed very serious and intent on hearing what she had to say about it. Bella said she did some research, some fishing on the web and Edward asked her what she found, but Bella said it didn't matter. It didn't matter what Edward was to her because it didn't change anything she felt towards him. Eventually on the ride back Edward admitted to being a vampire and Bella took it without shock as if expecting it all along. By the time Bella had been dropped off and was ready to go to sleep she had decided three thing. 1. Edward was a Vampire. 2. Part of him wanted her blood. And 3. She was hopelessly in love with him.

Chapter 8

When the girls got to Port Angeles bella helped the igrls pick out their dresses ans shoes. When Angela and Bella were alone for a minute Bella asked angela if the Cullens were often gone when it was sunny weather. Angela said that they were because they liked to take advantage of the good weather and hike. Bella walked around Port Angeles for a while after they had finished their shopping while the other girls went and walked somewhere else. Bella walked by a group of four young drunk men and she noticed that two of them had continued to follow her. She walked down a deserted street and turned the corner only to realize that they were leading her to the other two men, "She was being herded." Then a car screeched in and the passenger door opened and she quickly got in, it was Edward. After they drove away Bella noticed that Edward was very angry, but she tried to calm him down. They went to dinner together afterwards. Bella had learned that Edward had found her by listening to the minds of the men that followed , which made him livid, and he knew she was in Port Angeles because he followed her there. Edward started to drive Bella home.

Chapter 7

After the beach Bella had a boring weekend and was excited to see Edward in school. The first day back she didn't see the Cullen's volvo in the parking lot so she was slightly depressed and to add onto her depression Mike had asked her out to dinner, but she told him it would hurt Jessica's feelings. When lunch came around Edward wasn't there yet again and Bella felt sad. He wasn't in biology so Bella was actually glad that she was supposed to help Angela and Jessica find dresses for the dance that night. Unfortunately Jessica canceled their plans that night because Mike had asked her out to dinner so they would have to go the next day. Bella had nothing to do that night so she decided to read a book. The main character in the book was named Edward so she picked another book and the hero's name in that book was Edmund. She decided to just soak up as much sun as she could instead of thinking of Edward. The next day was pretty much a repeat of the day before and Bella was excited to get it over with and go to Port Angeles with Angela and Jessica.

Chapter 6

Bella headed to the beach with Mike, Jessica, Lauren, Eric, Angela, and some other people from her new school. About a half an hour after the group arrived at the beach in La Plush half of them decided to go for a hike. Since Lauren, who isn't very nice towards Bella, wasn't going on the hike Bella decided she better take advantage of spending time away from Lauren and went on the hike. They hiked through wood and went to some tide pools near the oceans edge. When they headed back they noticed there were some additions to the group they had left behind. Some of the teenagers from the reservation had come to socialize. When they sat down on the drift wood logs Lauren decide to be annoying and mention the Cullens to Bella, obviously trying to get her angry, but the oldest looking reservation kid told them that the Cullen's didn't come to La Plush, making it sound like they weren't allowed to. Bella noticed a smaller boy with long black hair and an all around "pretty" face, according to her, that seemed to remember her from somewhere. They knew each other when they were little and Bella lived in Forks. Bella decided to ask Jacob, the boy, what Sam, the older boy, meant when he said the Cullens didn't come to La Plush. Jacob was hesitant at first, but then he told her an old indian tale about "Cold Ones", Blood Drinkers" and "Vampires". According to legend the Cullens were the very same vampires in the stories, but Jacob said it was all just superstition.
