Riley Biers (Xavier Samuel) is
attacked and bitten by Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard), in order to begin
creating an army of newborns set to destroy Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
Back in Forks, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella discuss the
complications of becoming an immortal vampire. At 18 years old, one year
older than the age Edward was when he became a vampire, Bella expresses
her aversion to the idea of marrying so young, though Edward refuses to
turn her until they are married and she's had various human experiences
she would otherwise miss. While Charlie Swan (Billy Burke) investigates
the disappearance of Riley Biers, Edward suspects his disappearance was
caused by the newborn vampires. Furthering his suspicions is the intrusion
of Riley into Bella's room.
Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that Jacob Black
(Taylor Lautner) and the rest of the werewolf pack would never harm her,
but Edward is still not convinced. Bella goes to La Push to see Jacob, and
returns home unharmed. During one of her visits, Jacob confesses that he
is in love with Bella, and forcefully kisses her. Mad, she punches him and
breaks her hand, and Edward later threatens to break Jacob's jaw. Bella
even revokes the invitations of Jacob and his pack members to her
graduation party, but when Jacob apologizes for his behavior, she forgives
him.
Meanwhile, Alice (Ashley Greene) sees a vision that the newborn army is
attacking Forks led by Riley Biers. Jacob, accompanied by Quil (Tyson
Houseman) and Embry (Kiowa Gordon) overhear this, which leads to an
alliance between the Cullens and Wolf pack. Later, the Cullens and the
wolves agree to a meeting place and time to train and discuss strategy.
During the training Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) explains to Bella that he
was created by a vampire named Maria to control a newborn army. He hated
his original existence and upon meeting Alice, joined the Cullens with
her. Bella sees the true bond between a mated vampire pair and begins to
understand Jasper better. Despite her reluctance to marry, Bella realizes
that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything
else and agrees to marry him. Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains to
hide Bella from the bloodthirsty newborns. During the night, Bella
overhears a conversation between Edward and Jacob, in which they
temporarily put aside their hatred towards each other. In the morning,
Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and becomes
very upset. Before he can run off to get himself killed in the fight with
the newborns, Bella desperately asks him to kiss her, and she realizes
that she has fallen in love with him. Edward finds out about the kiss but
is not angry, as Bella says she loves him more than Jacob.
Victoria eventually finds Bella's hiding spot, and Edward kills her while
Seth kills her partner Riley. The Cullens and the Quileute wolves,
meanwhile, destroy her "army", though Jacob is injured saving Leah
Clearwater from a newborn. Several members of the Volturi arrive to deal
with the newborn army. They also see that the Cullens are guarding the
newborn, Bree Tanner (Jodelle Ferland), who had refused to fight and
surrendered to Carlisle. Jane (Dakota Fanning) tortures Bree to get
information, then instructs Felix to kill her, despite the Cullens'
efforts to spare her. When Jane notes that Caius will find it interesting
that Bella is still human, Bella informs her that the date for her
transformation has been set. Bella visits the injured Jacob to tell him
that even though she is in love with him, she has chosen to be with
Edward. Saddened by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees to stop trying to
come between her and Edward.
Bella and Edward go to their meadow, where she tells him she has decided
to do things his way: get married, make love, then be transformed into a
vampire. She also explains that she never has been normal and never will
be; she's felt out of place her entire life, but when she is in Edward's
world she feels stronger and complete.At the end of the story they then
decide they need to tell Charlie about their engagement. |
