He Was Giving Up On Keeping Me Alive, Letting Nature–or Rather Mob Justice–take Its Course. When He Returned, And I Was Dead, He Wouldn't Hold Anyone Responsible. He Would Not Mourn. All This I Could Hear In Those Three Words.

Isabella Swan?” He Looked Up At Me Through His Impossibly Long Lashes, His Golden Eyes Soft But, Somehow, Still Scorching. “i Promise To Love You Forever—every Single Day Of Forever. Will You Marry Me?” There Were Many Things I Wanted To Say, Some Of Them Not Nice At All, And Others More Disgustingly Gooey And Romantic Than He Probably Dreamed I Was Capable Of. Rather Than Embarrass Myself With Either, I Whispered, “yes.” “thank You,” He Said Simply. He Took My Left Hand And Kissed Each Of My Fingertips Before He Kissed The Ring That Was Now Mine.

How Was I Ever Going To Fight The Blurring Lines In Our Relationship When I Enjoyed Being With Him So Much?

Our Relationship

I Wanted Him Like I Wanted Air To Breathe. Not A Choice- A Necessity.

How Can A Little Thing Be So Annoying?

Dont Be Afraid", I Murmured. "we Belong Together." I Was Abruptly Overwhelmed By Th Truth Of My Own Words. This Moment Was So Perfect, There Was No Way To Boubt It. His Arms Wrapped Around Me, Holding Me Against Him...it Felt Like Every Nerve Ending In My Body Was A Live Wire. "forever," He Agreed.

His Skin Was A Pretty Colour, It Made Me Jealous. Jacob Noticed My Scrutiny. What?" He Asked, Suddenly Self-conscious. "nothing. I Just Hadn't Realised Before. Did You Know, You're Sort Of Beautiful?" Once The Words Slipped Out, I Worried That He Might Take My Implusive Observation The Wrong Way. But Jacob Rolled His Eyes. "you Hit Your Head Pretty Hard, Didn't You?" "i'm Serious." Well, Then, Thanks. Sort Of." I Grinned. "you're Sort Of Welcome.

Well… Don’t Be Offended, But You Smell Like A Dog.

I Know You're Frustrated That He's Keeping You Locked Up Like This, But Don't Give Him Too Bad A Time When He Gets Back. He Loves You More Than You Know. It Terrifies Him To Be Away From You.

Kiss Me, Jacob. Kiss Me, And Then Come Back.

You're Not The Center Of The Universe, You Know.

Center Of The Universe

You Held Out Your Hand, And I Took It Without Stopping To Make Sense Of What I Was Doing. For The First Time In Almost A Century, I Felt Hope.

My Old Mind Hadn’t Been Capable Of Holding This Much Love. My Old Heart Had Not Been Strong Enough To Bear It. Maybe This Was The Part Of Me That I’d Brought Forward To Be Intensified In My New Life. Like Carlisle’s Compassion And Esme’s Devotion. I Would Probably Never Be Able To Do Anything Interesting Or Special Like Edward, Alice, And Jasper Could Do. Maybe I Would Just Love Edward More Than Anyone In The History Of The World Had Ever Loved Anyone Else. I Could Live With That.

Don't Be Afraid," I Murmured. "we Belong Together.

“don't Be Offended, But You Seem To Be One Of Those People Who Just Attract Accidents Like A Magnet. So... Try Not To Fall Into The Ocean Or Get Run Over Or Anything, All Right?” He Smiled Crookedly. The Helplessness Had Faded As He Spoke. I Glared At Him. “i'll See What I Can Do,” I Snapped As I Jumped Out Into The Rain. I Slammed The Door Behind Me With Excessive Force. He Was Still Smiling As He Drove Away.

Ian Squeezed My Hand And Leaned In To Whisper Through All The Hair. His Voice Was So Low That I Was The Only One Who Could Hear. 'i Held You In My Hand, Wanderer. And You Were So Beautiful.

No, I Had Never Intentionally Caused Anyone Physical Pain, But I Had Hurt Ian Deeply Enough Just By Hurting Myself. Human Lives Were So Impossibly Tangled. What A Mess.

The Way Everyone Looked At Me Made Me Uncomfortable. Even Edward. It Was Like I Had Grown A Hundred Feet During The Course Of The Morning. I Tried To Ignore The Impressed Looks, Mostly Keeping My Eyes On Nessie’s Sleeping Face And Jacob’s Unchanged Expression. I Would Always Be Just Bella To Him, And That Was A Relief. Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, P.747

I Hear Voices In My Mind And You're Worried That You're The Freak,” He Laughed.

Momma, You're Special," Renesmee Told Me Without Any Surprise, Like She Was Commenting On The Color Of My Clothes.

How Did Anyone Survive This World, With These Bodies Whose Memories Wouldn't Stay In The Past Where They Should? With The Emotions That Were So Strond I Couldn't Tell What I Felt Anymore?

Fall Down Again, Bella?' No, Emmett, I Punched A Werewolf In The Face.

But I’ll Never See Anyone Else, Bella. I Only See You. Even When I Close My Eyes And Try To See Something Else. Ask Quil Or Embry. It Drives Them All Crazy

I Did Know This- Every Second I Spent With Her Was Only Going To Add To The Pain I Would Have Suffer Later

Only You Could Be More Important Than What I Wanted...what I Needed. What I Want And What I Need Is To Be With You, And I Know I'll Never Be Strong Enough To Leave Again.

History Was Easy, But I Don't Know About The Calculus. It Seemed Like It Was Making Sense, So That Probably Means I Failed.

It's Over. We've All Been Sentenced To Die.

Of Course, I Still Saw Edward At School, Because There Wasn't Anything Charlie [her Dad] Could Do About That. And Then, Edward Spent Almost Every Night In My Room, Too, But Charlie Wasn't Precisely Aware Of That. Edward's Ability To Climb Easily And Silently Through My Second-story Window Was Almost As Useful As His Ability To Read Charlie's Mind.

Bella, Can You Drop The Rock, Please? Carefully. Don’t Hurt Yourself.

But If You Ever Bring Her Back Damaged Again - And I Don't Care Whose Fault It Is; I Don't Care If She Merely Trips, Or If A Meteor Falls Out Of The Sky And Hits Her In The Head - If You Return Her To Me In Less Than The Perfect Condition That I Left Her In, You Will Be Running With Three Legs. Do You Understand That, Mongrel?

Storytelling Was The Most Honored Of All Talents, For It Benefited Everyone.

Don’t Be Offended, But You Seem To Be One Of Those People Who Just Attract Accidents Like A Magnet. So… Try Not To Fall Into The Ocean Or Get Run Over Or Anything, All Right?

She Looked Around Herself, Disoriented, Like She’d Forgotten We Were At Lunch. Like She’d Forgotten We Were Even At School-surprised That We Were Not Alone In Some Private Place. I Understood That Feeling Exactly. It Was Hard To Remember The Rest Of The World When I Was With Her.

You Never Know How Much Time You'll Have.

Because There Was Nothing More Terrifying To Me, More Excruciating, Than The Thought Of Turning Away From Him. It Was An Impossibility.

Of Course, Die For The Monster Spawn. It Was So Bella.

I'm Really Glad Edward Didn't Kill You. Everything's So Much More Fun With You Around." — Emmett Cullen

So, Did You Stab Edward Cullen With A Pencil Or What? I've Never Seen Him Act Like That.

Sometimes, Loyalty Gets In The Way Of What You Want To Do. Sometimes, It’s Not Your Secret To Tell.

I Felt Excited To Go To School, And That Scared Me. I Knew It Wasn't The Simulating Learning Environment I Was Anticipating, Or Seeing My New Set Of Friends. If I Was Being Honest With Myself, I Knew I Was Eager To Get To School Because I Would See Edward Culllen. And That Was Very, Very Stupid.

The Thing People Don't Realize, God Bless Them, Is That My Books Are Supposed To Suck.

I Tried, After I Wrote 'twilight,' To Read 'the Historian,' Because It Was The Big Thing That Summer. But I Can't Read Other People's Vampires. If It's Too Close, I Get Upset; If It's Too Far Away, I Get Upset. It Just Makes Me Very Neurotic.

The Story Was A Sleeping Girl In A Narrow Bed Dark Hair Thick And Wild And Twisted Like Seaweed Across The Pillow... Bella's Lullaby

Could I Betray My Absent Heart To Save My Pathetic Life?

I Promise That This Will Be The Last Time You’ll See Me. I Won’t Come Back. I Won’t Put You Through Anything Like This Again. You Can Go On With Your Life Without Any More Interference From Me. It Will Be As If I’d Never Existed.

Death Is Peaceful, Life Is Harder

Wanderer: You Don't Really Feel That Way About Me You Know. It's This Body... She's Pretty Isn't She? Ian: She Is. Melanie Is A Very Pretty Girl. Even Beautiful. But Pretty As She Is, She Is A Stranger To Me. She's Not The One I... Care About. Wanderer: It's This Body. Ian: That's Not True At All. It's Not The Face, But The Expressions On It. It's Not The Voice, But What They Say. It's Not How You Look Like In That Body, It's What You Do With It. You Are Beautiful.

But Now You're Unhappy," He Pointed Out. "and?" I Challenged. "that Doesn't Seem Fair." He Shrugged, But His Eyes Were Still Intense. I Laughed Without Humour. "hasn't Anyone Told You? Life Isn't Fair." "i Believe I Have Heard That Somewhere Before," He Agreed Dryly.

He's Like A Drug For You, Bella.

Sometimes, Kismet Happens.

Look After My Heart - I've Left It With You.

I Gave You Life. You’re Wasting It.

However, I Can Read Hers- She'll Be Waiting To Ambush You In Class.

Do You Really Have Any Idea How Important You Are To Me? Any Concept At All Of How Much I Love You?" He Pulled Me Tighter Against His Hard Chest, Tucking My Head Under His Chin. I Pressed My Lips Against His Snow-cold Neck. "i Know How Much I Love You," I Answered. You Compare One Small Tree To The Entire Forest." I Rolled My Eyes, But He Couldn't See. "impossible.

There Are No Rules That Can Bind You When You Find Your Other Half.

Our Relationship Couldn't Continue To Balance, As It Did, On The Point Of A Knife. We Would Fall Off One Edge Or The Other, Depending Entirely Upon His Decision, Or His Instincts. My Decision Was Made, Made Before I'd Ever Consciously Chosen, And I Was Committed To Seeing It Through. Because There Was Nothing More Terrifying To Me, More Excruciating, Than The Thought Of Turning Away From Him. It Was An Impossibility.

Sometimes It Was So Easy To Forget That I Was Kissing A Vampire.

Let Me Guess,' Ian Said In A Voice Like Ice. 'you Fell On A Rock.

So What Are You Going To Tell Her?" "a Little Help?" I Pleaded. "what Does She Want To Know?" He Shook His Head, Grinning Wickedly. "that's Not Fair." "no, You Not Sharing What You Know-now That's Not Fair.

Hard To Feel Confident When You’re Surrounded By Horse-sized Wolves. Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, P.745

I Am Not Really Breaking Any Rules. Charlie Said I Could Never Take Another Step Through The Door Again... I Came In Through The Window... Still, The Intent Was Clear," Said Edward.

I Flicked On The Light Beside My Bed, Waiting For My Breathing To Slow, Veins Full Of Adrenaline From The Realistic Dream. A New Dream, But In Essence So Much The Same As The Many Others That Had Plagued Me In The Past Months. No, Not A Dream. Surely A Memory. I Could Still Feel The Heat Of Jared's Lips On Mine. My Hands Reached Out Without My Permission, Searching Across The Rumpled Sheets, Looking For Something They Didn't Find. My Heart Ached When They Gave Up, Falling To The Bed Limp And Empty.

I'd Never Understood How Carlisle Was Able To Do That - Ignore The Blood Of His Patients In Order To Treat Them. Wouldn't The Constant Temptation Be So Distracting, So Dangerous? But Now, I Could See How, If You Were Focusing On Something Else Hard Enough, The Temptation Was Be Nothing At All.

I Could See How Easy It Would Be To Fall Into Loving Bella. It Would Be Exactly Like Falling: Effortless. Not Letting Myself Love Her Was The Opposite Of Falling—it Was Pulling Myself Up A Cliff-face, Hand Over Hand, The Task As Grueling As If I Had No More Than Mortal Strength.

I Thought You Were Supposed To Be Pretending I Don’t Exist, Not Irritating Me To Death.

Can't You Just Thank Me And Get Over It?" "thank You." I Waited, Fuming And Expectant. "you're Not Going To Let It Go, Are You?" "no." "in That Case . . . I Hope You Enjoy Disappointment." We Scowled At Each Other In Silence. I Was The First To Speak, Trying To Keep Myself Focused. I Was In Danger Of Being Distracted By His Livid, Glorious Face. It Was Like Trying To Stare Down A Destroying Angel. "why Did You Even Bother?" I Asked Frigidly. He Paused, And For A Brief Moment His Stunning Face Was Unexpectedly Vulnerable. "i Don't Know," He Whispered.

Love Doesn't Always Come In Convenient Packages.

Mostly I Dream About Being With You Forever.

That’s Edward. He’s Gorgeous, Of Course, But Don’t Waste Your Time. He Doesn’t Date. Apparently None Of The Girls Here Are Good-looking Enough For Him.

I Can Do This, I Lied To Myself Feebly. No One Was Going To Bite Me.

...the Way A Man Might Hesitate Before He Kissed A Woman, To Gauge Her Reaction, To See How He Would Be Received. Perhaps He Would Hesitate To Prolong The Moment, That Ideal Moment Of Anticipation, Sometimes Better Than Kiss Itself.

Unca Jay!" "how's It Going Claire?" She Giggled. "qwil Aaaaawl Wet Now." "i Can See That. Where's Your Mama?" "gone, Gone, Gone," Claire Sang. "cwaire Pway Wid Qwil Aaaawl Day. Cwaire Nebber Gowin Home." Jacob And Claire, Breaking Dawn, Page 152.

If He'd Done Something To Harm Her, I Would Annihilate Him.

Super-secret Ninja Club Sounds Way Cooler Than The Whole Bff Thing.

I Would Probably Never Be Able To Do Anything Interesting Or Special Like Edward, Alice And Jasper Could Do. Maybe I Would Just Love Edward More Than Anyone In The History Of The World Had Ever Loved Anyone Else.

I Was A Vampire, And She Had The Sweetest Blood I’d Smelled In Eighty Years.

Interceded? You Threw Me To The Sharks!

No One Could Be Still Like Edward.

There's No Law That Says I Can't Cook In My Own House." - Charlie Swan

Dream Happy Dreams. You Are The Only One Who Has Ever Touched My Heart. It Will Always Be Yours. Sleep,my Only Love.

How Sad. How Frightening. To Be Filled With So Much Hate That You Could Not Even Rejoice In The Healing Of A Child...how Did Anyone Ever Come To That Point?

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

Romeo Wouldn’t Change His Mind. That’s Why People Still Remembered His Name, Always Twined With Hers.

But What If It Were You? What If You Were Stuffed In A Human Body And Let Loose On This Planet Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Your Own Kind? What If You Were Such A Good Person That You Tried To Save The Life That You'd Taken That You Almost Died Trying To Get Her Back To Her Family? What If You Then Found Yourself Surrounded By Violent Aliens Who Hated You And Tried To Hurt You And Tried To Murder You Over And Over Again? What If You Just Kept Doing Whatever You Could To Save And Heal People Despite That? Wouldn't You Deserve A Life Too? Wouldn't You Have Earned That Much?

So, Instead Of Panicking, I Closed My Eyes And Spent The Twenty Minutes' Drive With Edward. I Imagined That I Had Stayed At The Airport To Meet Edward. I Visualized How I Would Stand On My Toes, The Sooner To See His Face. How Quickly, How Gracefully He Would Move Through The Crowds Of People Separating Us. And Then I Would Run To Close Those Last Few Feet Between Us - Reckless As Always - And I Would Be In His Marble Arms, Finally Safe.

I'm Not Like A Car You Can Fix Up. I'm Never Gonna Run Right" Bella

You Are My Life. You're The Only Thing It Would Hurt To Lose.

Though There Was No Sound, There Was A Change. The Atmosphere, Which Had Gone Tense At My Accusation, Relaxed. I Wondered How I Knew This. I Had A Strange Sensation That I Was Somehow Receiving More Than My Five Senses Were Giving Me - Almost A Feeling That There Was Another Sense, On The Fringes, Not Quite Harnessed. Intuition? That Was Almost The Right Word. As If Any Creature Needed More Than Five Senses.

I Felt Like - Like I Don't Know What. Like This Wasn't Real. Like I Was In Some Goth Version Of A Bad Sitcom. Instead Of Being The A/v Dweeb About To Ask The Head Cheerleader To The Prom, I Was The Finished-second-place Werewolf About To Ask The Vampire's Wife To Shack Up And Procreate. Nice. - Jacob

He's Like A Drug For You, Bella. I See That You Can't Live Without Him Now. It's Too Late. But I Would Have Been Healthier For You. Not A Drug; I Would Have Been The Air, The Sun.

I’m Just Going To Do What I Want Now, And Let The Chips Fall Where They May.

You Live A Thousand Lives When You Read A Thousand Books.

Forever," He Vowed, Still A Little Staggered. "that's All I'm Asking For," I Said.

Do You Truly Believe That You Care More For Me Than I Do For You?" He Murmured, Leaning Closer To Me As He Spoke, His Dark Golden Eyes Piercing. I Tried To Remember How To Exhale. I Had To Look Away Before It Came Back To Me. "you're Doing It Again," I Muttered. His Eyes Opened Wide With Surprise. "what?" "dazzling Me," I Admitted, Trying To Concentrate As I Looked Back At Him. "oh." He Frowned. "it's Not Your Fault," I Sighed. "you Can't Help It.

Yes, You Are Exactly My Brand Of Heroin.

Alice! You Know I Love You Like A Sister!" "words." She Growled.

Children In The Abstract, Had Never Appealed To Me. They Seemed To Be Loud Creatures, Often Dripping Some Form Of Goo.

I Felt Like I Was Trapped In One Of Those Terrifying Nightmares, The One Where You Have To Run, Run Till Your Lungs Burst, But You Can't Make Your Body Move Fast Enough... But This Was No Dream, And, Unlike The Nightmare, I Wasn't Running For My Life: I Was Racing To Save Something Infinitely More Precious. My Own Life Meant Little To Me Today.

I Wondered To Myself Why No One Else Had Seen Him Standing So Far Away, Before He Was Suddenly, Impossibly Saving My Life. With Chagrin, I Realized The Probable Cause - No One Else Was As Aware Of Edward As I Always Was. No One Else Watched Him The Way I Did. How Pitiful.

There’s Something… Strange About The Way You Two Are Together. The Way He Watches You — It’s So… Protective. Like He’s About To Throw Himself In Front Of A Bullet To Save You Or Something.

The Boy In The Pearl Gray Suit Could Have Been Jane's Twin. His Hair Was Darker, And His Lips Were Not As Full, But He Was Just As Lovely.

This Love Was Tricky...was It Simply Better Somehow? Because These Humans Could Hate With So Much Fury, Was The Other End Of The Spectrum That They Could Love With More Heart And Zeal And Fire?

What's Funny About That Is When I Was Writing Twilight Just For Myself And Not Thinking Of It As A Book, I Was Not Thinking About Publishing, And Yet At The Same Time I Was Casting It In My Head. Because When I Read Books, I See Them Very Visually.

I Had Enough Trouble Not Falling Down When The Ground Was Dry; It Might Be Safer For Me To Go Back To Bed Now.

Could A Dead, Frozen Heart Beat Again? It Felt Like Mine Was About To.

It Was Sort Of The Pattern To My Life - I'd Never Been Strong Enough To Deal With The Things Outside My Control, To Attack The Enemies Or Outrun Them. To Avoid The Pain. Always Human And Weak, The Only Thing I'd Ever Been Able To Do Was Keep Going. Endure. Survive.

Hasn’t Anyone Ever Told You? Life Isn’t Fair.

You Gonna Back Down So Easy, Little Sister?. Not Much Wild About You, Is There? I Bet That Cottage Doesn't Have A Scratch. Did Edward Tell You How Many Houses Rose And I Smashed?

The Bond Forged Between Us Was Not One That Could Be Broken By Absence, Distance, Or Time. And No Matter How Much More Special Or Beautiful Or Brilliant Or Perfect Than Me He Might Be, He Was As Irreversibly Altered As I Was. As I Would Always Belong To Him, So Would He Always Be Mine.

I Held You In My Hands, Wanderer, And You Were Beautiful.

I Love You. You're My Only Reason To Stay Alive... If That's What I Am.

It's Something About The Inevitability. How Nothing Can Keep Them Apart--not Her Selfishness, Or His Evil, Or Even Death, In The End...their Love Is Their Only Redeeming Quality.

Speak Of The Devil, And The Devil Shall Appear.

If We Could Bottle Your Luck, We'd Have A Weapon Of Mass Destruction On Our Hands.

Stop Being So...optimistic, Its Getting On My Nerves." "no Problem. Do You Want Me To Be All Gloom And Doom Or Just Shut Up?" "just Shut Up." "can Do." "really? Doesn't Seem Like It." -jacob And Seth

"what Are You Thinking?" He Asked Curiously. I Looked Up Into His Deep Gold Eyes, Became Befuddled, And, As Usual, Blurted Out The Truth. "i'm Trying To Figure Out What You Are."

What's So Funny?" Bella Mumbled. "i Got Food In Her Hair," I Told Her, Chortling Again. "i'm Not Going To Forget This, Dog," Rosalie Hissed. "s'not So Hard To Erase A Blond's Memory," I Countered. "just Blow In Her Ear." Get Some New Jokes, "rosalie Snapped.

Your Hair Looks Like A Haystack...but I Like It.

Twilight Edward

His Gold Eyes Grew Very Soft. “you Said You Loved Me.” “you Knew That Already,” I Reminded Him, Ducking My Head. “it Was Nice To Hear, Just The Same.” I Hid My Face Against His Shoulder. “i Love You,” I Whispered. “you Are My Life Now,” He Answered Simply. There Was Nothing More To Say For The Moment. He Rocked Us Back And Forth As The Room Grew Lighter.

Ian Paused And Leaned Closer To Me So That I Couldn't Seem To See Anything Around His Face, Just Snow And Sapphire And Ink.

Maybe You'll Get Lucky." I Said Bleakly, Lurching On My Feet. "maybe I'll Get Hit By A Truck On My Way Back.

Is He Your Warden Now Too? You Know I Saw This Story On The News Last Week About Controlling, Abusive Teenage Relationships And- "okay!" I Cut Him Off, And Then Shoved His Arm. "time For The Werewolf To Get Out!

It's Always Better To Be Kind. I'm Glad I Know Why." -wanda

It's Not The Face, But The Expressions On It. It's Not The Voice, But What You Say. It's Not How You Look In That Body, But The Thing You Do With It. You Are Beautiful.

Oh You Do Smell Good.

I Know The Exact Date That I Began Writing Twilight, Because It Was Also The First Day Of Swim Lessons For My Kids. So I Can Say With Certainty That It All Started On June 2, 2003.

Your Scent Is Like A Drug To Me Like My Own Personal Brand Of Heroin.

Mike's Eyes Narrowed Shrewdly. "don't Kid Yourself, Bella. The Guy's Head Over Heels For You." "i Know," I Sighed. "life Is Complicated." "and Girls Are Cruel," Mike Said Under His Breath.

It's Sad When You Can't Make Everyone Happy, Though. It's Impossible But, At The Same Time, You Still Hope. You Think, 'maybe I Can Do It,' But You Know You Can't. But Gosh, If I Had To Rely On Giving People What They Wanted, I Would Have Had To Write 40 Billion Different Books And Even Then, I Wouldn't Get It Right.

When I Told You I Didn't Want You It Was The Blackest Kind Of Blasphemy

I Used To Think Of You That Way, You Know. Like The Sun. My Personal Sun. You Balanced Out The Clouds Nicely For Me." He Sighed. "the Clouds I Can Handle. But I Can't Fight With An Eclipse.

I Stared Into Her Eyes, Wide Under The Thick Fringe Of Lashes, And Yearned For Sleep. Not For Oblivion, As I Had Before, Not To Escape Boredom, But Because I Wanted To *dream*. Maybe, If I Could Be Unconscious, If I Could Dream, I Could Live For A Few Hours In A World Where She And I Could Be Together. She Dreamed Of Me. I Wanted To Dream Of Her.

All I Can Guess Is That When I Write, I Forget That It's Not Real. I'm Living The Story, And I Think People Can Read That Sincerity About The Characters. They Are Real To Me While I'm Writing Them, And I Think That Makes Them Real To The Readers As Well.

It's Healthy To Ditch Class Now And Then." To Be Precise, It Was Healthier For Humans If Vampires Ditched On Days When Human Blood Would Be Spilt.

No Two Writers Go About Things In Exactly The Same Way (intro)

When Life Offers You A Dream So Far Beyond Any Of Your Expectations, It’s Not Reasonable To Grieve When It Comes To An End.

You're My Life Now And I Will Do Anything To Protect You.

Jacob Was Hardly In Need Of Any Physical Protection I Could Offer. But My Arms, Pinned Beneath Edward's, Yearned To Reach Out To Him. To Wrap Around His Big, Warm, Waist In A Silent Promise Of Acceptance And Comfort. Edward's Shielding Arms Had Become Restraints.

I Peeked Up At Him One More Time, And Regretted It. He Was Glaring Down At Me Again, His Black Eyes Full Of Revulsion. As I Flinched Away From Him, Shrinking Against My Chair, The Phrase If Looks Could Kill Suddenly Ran Through My Mind.

When You Live For The Fight, For The Blood, The Relationships You Form Are Tenuous And Easily Broken.

Listen Up, Wanda. I Know Exactly What You Don't Want To Be. But We're Human, And We're Selfish, And We Don't Always Do The Right Thing. We Aren't Going To Let You Go. Deal With It.

Look, Just Stop Trying To Annihilate Yourself, Okay? Because If I Think You Can Do It, I'll Make Doc Pull Me Out Today. Or I'll Tell Jared. Just Imagine What He Would Do. I Imagined It For Her, Smiling A Little Through My Tears. Remeber? He Said No Guarantees About What He Would Or Wouldn't Do To Keep You Here. I Though Of Those Buring Kisses In The Hall...thought Of Other Kisses And Other Nights In Her Memory. My Face Warmed As I Blushed. You Fight Dirty. You Bet I Do.

What Is A Valid Reason For Someone To Love Someone Else? Since Apparently I’m Doing It Wrong.

And Then, As The Room Went Black, I Was Suddenly Hyperaware That Edward Was Sitting Less Than An Inch From Me. I Was Stunned By The Unexpected Electricity That Flowed Through Me, Amazed That It Was Possible To Be More Aware Of Him Than I Already Was.

Suddenly His Lips Became Much More Urgent, His Free Hand Twisted Into My Hair And Held My Face Securely To His. And Though I Was Clearly Beginning To Cross His Cautious Lines, For Once He Didn't Stop Me. His Body Was Cold Through The Thin Quilt, But I Crushed Myself Against Him Eagerly.
