Ok so not everyone reading this will know what I’m talking about. So, if you haven’t read the books, here’s a run down of what you missed. Also, if you want to read them, but haven’t yet, I suggest not reading past this point!
***WARNING: SPOILER ALERT***
Twilight is a story of a seventeen year old, human girl named Bella Swan who moves
from Phoenix, AZ to Forks, WA. Bella is enrolled at school in Forks, and is attracting attention from many of her peers except from the one she wants it from most, Edward Cullen. At first, Edward is completely disgusted with her and she can’t figure out why. Edward leaves town for a bit and finally returns. When he returns, he is much friendlier. At school one day, Bella is almost ran over by a van and Edward saves her. She is determined to figure out his secret. Bella eventually tricks family friend Jacob Black into telling her his tribal legends, where she discovers Edward is a vampire that drinks animal blood instead of human blood. Bella confronts Edward about her newfound knowledge, and he admits to her that he only tried to stay away from her because her blood calls to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love. Another vampire, from another coven, James, wants to kill Bella and she has to make her escape. She travels back to Phoenix with some of Edwards’s family. James pretends to have Bella’s mother and lures her to him. He bites Bella’s hand just before Edward and the other Cullens show up. Edward sucks the venom out of Bella’s hand so she does not become a vampire, and Bella is brought to a hospital. Upon their return to Forks, Bella and Edward go to prom and Bella tells Edward of her hopes in becoming a vampire. Edward denies her of her request.
