father Charlie. She doesn't expect anything to change because what could happen
in a small town where it never stops raining? But she was wrong! As soon as
she laid her eyes on Edward Cullen, her life changed completely. He and his
brothers and sisters were so beautiful, and she couldn't help staring. At first
she tries to avoid Edward, and acts as if he is annoying, but really she is burning
inside to get to know him. She later finds out that he is different that he is
a vampire! Even though Edward tells her to stay away, she still tries to talk to
him in school, and finds any excuse she can to be near him. Their relationship
strengthens, and she finally begins to realize that her life is in danger because
of her hanging out with the Cullens. Just one simple game of baseball, (well,
it is vampire baseball) She encounters a tracker (James). James instantly
becomes obsessed with Bella, and decides to track her. The Cullens try to keep
her safe, but since Bella is so stubborn, she decides she will go after him herself.
She will do anything to try and save her mother. She meets James in a ballet
studio where he attacks her. In the end Edward and the Cullens save her,
and Edward and Bella promise to be together forever.

she opens a gift, the wrapping paper gives her a paper cut. Jasper, the newest
vampire to take up the non-human diet leaps at her, and Edward jumps in
between them to save her. He later decides to make a heart-wrenching
decision to move away and leave Bella because he and his family are too
dangerous for her. He lies to her and convinces her that he doesn't love her
anymore. This destroys her. She lives her life for months without really
living. She is in a "zombie-like" state because she just stayed in the
house and didn't socialize. it is only until she goes to the movies to please her
father Charlie that something happens. While walking around at night, she
sees a group of drunken men. She walks up to them, remembering when
Edward saved her from them. As she walks closer, she hears Edward's
voice in her head telling her not to do anything stupid. She later discovers
that whenever she does anything reckless or stupid she hears his voice
subconsciously. When she drives down the street and sees two run-down
motorcycles, she automatically thinks of her Native-American friend
Jacob Black to fix up the bikes. She thought that would be the perfect
stupid thing to do to hear Edward's voice again. She starts to get a life
back while hanging out with Jake and doing dangerous things. Victoria
comes back to Forks avenging her mate James things are only getting
more dangerous for Bella, but she doesn't care. She is fed up and wants to
do something so reckless and stupid to hear his voice for days. She jumps
off a cliff, into a river because Jake said he would take her cliff diving.
Victoria is in the river, and she almost drowns, but Jake saved her,
because he is now a werewolf! Alice Cullen sees her jump off the cliff in a
vision and thinks she is dead. She contacts Edward who is heart-broken.
He rushes to Italy to the Volturi to be killed. But Alice and Bella fly to Italy and save him. Edward promises to never l
eave her again and to always look after her especially because of Victoria. So the Cullens move back in and order
is restored.

  

Breaking Dawn
Book One

The first chapter, entitled "Engaged", starts off a few days before the wedding while
Edward is off hunting leaving Bella home without him. Bella is driving a new expensive
sports car, a Mercedes-Benz s600 Guardian. Edward gave it to her because her
old '53 Chevy finally died. When she stops at a gas station, two men admire her car
and tell her that the car hasn't been released in the United States or Europe yet. She
then goes home. Bella stays in her car and uses the cell phone, that again Edward
bought her, to call Seth Clearwater, a werewolf who Edward is now friends with after
they fought Victoria. She asks how Jacob Black is doing. Seth tells her that Jacob,
still is in his wolf form, is somewhere in Northern Canada and that he is not
coming home. Bella is upset, because she just wants to see him again. She then
has recollections of the night that she told Charlie about her engagement. When
Bella had finally had the courage to tell her father, Charlie just assumed that Bella
was pregnant. He also laughed hysterically when he realized how Bella's mother,
Renee would react. But Bella's Mom took the news well, and even offer to help with
the wedding plans! Bella was shocked! When Bella goes inside the house Alice is fitting Charlie into his tuxedo for the
wedding, and then says that it's Bella's turn. While she is being fitted by Alice, Bella thinks about Edward, and how nice
it will be after the wedding, and the honeymoon.

The wedding then comes and goes rather quickly, and the book speeds into the honeymoon. Edward takes her to
Isle Esme, a present from Carlisle to Esme, off the coast of Brazil. Edward also grants Bella's wish and makes love
to her. The next day they argue because Edward's passion leaves dark bruises all over Bella's body. Although Bella
doesn't care about the injuries, he insists that they spend their days doing tiring activities to make her too tired
for anything at night. Meanwhile, she has a dream about a small, green-eyed boy that she feels compelled to protect.
Bella also finds herself constantly hungry and sick It is only until she sees a box of unused tampons that she packed
that she realized that she is pregnant. She automatically becomes attached to the baby, even thought it will kill her,
and Edward is worried. They rush home to the Cullen mansion, but Bella has called upon Rosalie to help protect her
baby, so Edward is not allowed to go through with an abortion.

Book Two
This book is told from Jacob's perspective. He gets the news of Edward and Bella's return, and that Carlisle has told
Charlie that Bella is quarantined because she has contracted a rare disease in South America. Jacob assumes that
Bella has been bitten and transformed. He is upset when Sam Uley, acting Alpha of the pack, declares that the pack will
not retaliate. Jacob, full of rage, decides that if the pack will not retaliate collectively, he will act by himself. Creating
strategies of attack, he runs to the Cullen house. When he arrives, he discovers that things aren't what he thought.
Bella, as opposed to being a newborn vampire, is already heavily pregnant with Edward's child. Everyone realizes that
the child's rapid growth is starving Bella. She cannot digest her food as she gets sick after eating anything.
Tension runs high in the Cullen household as Rosalie supports Bella's decision to have the baby and aids her in
every way possible. Edward is furious at Rosalie and the family is divided. Things are not looking good for Bella, and
Jacob is depressed over thinking that she will die and be transformed into a newborn vampire. Jacob is so
depressed that he takes Edward's car drives down to a park, and tries to imprint on girls to make himself feel better.
Later, Bella goes into labor about one month after the honeymoon. The hard placenta that surrounds the child
cracks; Bella begins throwing up blood. The child breaks free and Bella is almost dead. Edward delivers the baby,
a girl, Renesmee, and begins to transform Bella into a vampire. He injects his venom into her heart and bites her
in several places. Jacob and Edward perform CPR to try to keep Bella's heart beating. Then, thinking that Bella is
dead, Jacob leaves the room and goes on a rampage to find the baby to try and kill it. He finds her in Rosalie's
arms and looks into the baby's eyes. They are exactly the same shade of brown as Bella's. Then, Jacob imprints
on her.

Book Three
The book returns to Bella's perspective, and she has just given birth to her daughter, and is now experiencing the
painful transformation from human to vampire. After receiving an injection of morphine to help ease the pain,
Bella is unable to move. As the morphine diminishes, Bella consciously stays absolutely still to alleviate Edward's
guilt and agony over the discomfort of her transformation. When she opens her eyes, she feels a warm hand on her.
She is startled and moves to a defensive position. She then realizes that Edward now feels relatively warm to her, and
that she is now a vampire. The Cullens are worried of Bella as newborn-vampires are violent. Yet, Bella manages to
demonstrate some self-control. This is bizarre for any new born. All she wants is to see her daughter, Renesmee
(pronounced "ruh-NEZ-may"), whose name is a mix of her mother Renee, and Edward's mother, Esme's names.
Since Renesmee is part-human, then everyone thinks that Bella will not be able to control her newborn thirst if
she sees the child so soon without first hunting. But the strange thing is that Bella doesn't even remember her
thirst until someone brings it up. Edward takes Bella on her first hunt to ease her thirst. Before they leave,
Alice shows Bella her reflection. She now is a stunningly beautiful woman with flawless skin and newborn-vampire
red eyes. Bella experiments with her new body on the hunt. She is now graceful, strong, and fast, a big difference
from her clumsy human body. While hunting, she accidentally crosses a human scent. She again demonstrates
remarkable self control by running away. Edward is amazed, because newborns have little self control, especially
while hunting. When they return, Bella is allowed to see her daughter because of her self-control in the woods.
Because Renesmee is growing at an amazing rate, she looks older than her calendar age. Bella learns of Reneesme’s
gift - the ability to communicate by sending images to people's minds through touch. Bella is infuriated when she
learns that Jacob has imprinted on Renesmee. She says it is his fault that he has imprinted on her child. She held her
self control until she found that Jacob nicknamed her daughter "Nessie." Bella despises the name because it sounds
like the Loch Ness monster. She loses her self-control and she tries to attack Jacob.

Later for Bella's birthday, she receives her after car which is a red Ferrari, and a small cottage in the woods not too
far from the Cullen's house. Everything is okay until they take Reneesme hunting and Irina, a Denali coven member
sees Reneeesme and thinks she is an immortal child. In the past, Immortal children caused mass destruction
and chaos in the past. Then, Alice leaves the Cullens after seeing a vision of the Volturi showing up with an army.
The Cullens round up all of their friends and allies for a fight with the Volturi, which Alice predicted to be when the
snow sticks the ground. Bella also has to decipher a note left by Alice in one of her books, which she cannot tell
Edward about because of Aro's ability to read minds. Bella also discovers that her power of mind-privacy has a shielding
effect and she wonders if she can extend this protection to others. During the month of preparation for the Volturi,
several of the vampires with quantifiable supernatural talents teach Bella how to expand the barrier. When the
Volturi and Irina finally arrive, all of the vampires and the werewolves meet in a clearing in the forest. The Volturi
discover that they has been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, the Volturi are
still not satisfied to leave because they want all of the exceptionally gifted vampires to join their group. Bella's gift
disables the Volturi's offensive fighters, Alec (who causes one to lose all their senses, much like numbing someone)
and Jane (who creates the illusion of pain in the victim), when she shields everyone on her side. Aro, Caius and
Marcus decide to vote on whether or not Renesmee will be a danger to the vampire world when she attains maturity.
It is only until Alice and Jasper return that the day is truly saved. they come with another half-human, half-vampire
from South America who is about one hundred fifty years-old. He and his three half-sisters (who are also half-vampire,
half-human) are the children of a vampire who is creating a super race. They have never caused any danger to the
vampire world. Only the male half-vampire is venomous; the female half-vampires are not. So the Volturi leave in peace.

After all the chaos, Bella and Edward return to their cottage and put Nessie to bed. And the book has a true happy
ending as Bella places her hands on Edward's cheeks and tries to push away her shield. She has been secretly
practicing for this moment. She thinks of all of her special memories that she wants to share with Edward. He is finally
able to see for the first time just how deeply she has always loved him. And the Twilight Series comes to a close with:

And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever
