123. I was beginning to babble. I had to work to shut myself up. (Bella)

124. I’m quite thirsty, and you do smell… simply mouthwatering. (Laurent)

125. His name burst through all the walls I’d built to contain it. Edward, Edward, Edward. I was going to die. It shouldn’t matter if I thought of him now. Edward, I love you. (Bella)

126. Granted, the wolf was monstrous in size, but it was just an animal. What reason would a vampire have for fearing an animal? (Bella)

127. I guessed that, between the two choices before me, being eaten by wolves was almost certainly the worse option. (Bella)

128. At least I’d come here alone, to this fairytale meadow filled with dark monsters. At least Jacob wasn’t going to die, too. At least I wouldn’t have his death on my hands. (Bella)

129. What was with the Quileute boys? Were they feeding them experimental growth hormones? (Bella)

130. Jacob didn’t want to be a part of this… cult. I don’t understand what could change him. I don’t want to be next. (Quil)

131. There was a darkness in Jacob now. Like my sun had imploded. (Bella)

132. More than anything, I wanted to be fierce and deadly, someone no one would dare mess with. Someone who would scare Sam Uley silly. I wanted to be a vampire. (Bella)

133. If you want to blame someone, why don’t you point your finger at those filthy, reeking bloodsuckers that you love so much? (Jacob)

134. I’m not good enough to be your friend anymore, or anything else. I’m not what I was before. I’m not good. (Jacob)

135. I’d thought Jake had been healing the hole in me—or at least plugging it up, keeping it from hurting me so much. I’d been wrong. He’d just been carving out his own hole, so that I was now riddled through like Swiss cheese. I wondered why I didn’t crumble into pieces. (Bella)

136. Sam Uley says Jacob can’t be my friend anymore. (Bella)

137. When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie’s tree? (Bella)

138. A wide grin spread slowly across Jacob’s face; he seemed extremely pleased with himself. It wasn’t the grin that I knew and loved—it was a new grin, one that was a bitter mockery of his old sincerity, on the new face that belonged to Sam. (Bella)

139. For me, this was all essentially voluntary. I protected the Cullens’ secret out of love; unrequited, but true. For Jacob, it didn’t seem to be that way. (Bella)

140. I won’t lose you, Bella. Not for this. (Jacob)

141. What kind of a place was this? Could a world really exist where ancient legends went wandering around the borders of tiny, insignificant towns, facing down mythical monsters? Did this mean every impossible fairy tale was grounded somewhere in absolute truth? Was there anything sane or normal at all, or was everything just magic and ghost stories? (Bella)

142. Wasn’t one myth enough for anyone, enough for a lifetime? (Bella)

143. Jacob, the only human I’d ever been able to relate to…And he wasn’t even human. I fought the urge to scream again.What did this say about me? (Bella)

144. There was no cult. There had never been a cult, never been a gang. No, it was much worse than that. It was a pack. A pack of five mind-blowingly gigantic, multihued werewolves that had stalked right past me in Edward’s meadow… (Bella)

145. You aren’t turning into a tree-hugger on me, are you? (Charlie)

146. Jacob was my best friend, but was he a monster, too? A real one? A bad one? Should I warn him, if he and his friends were… were murderers? If they were out slaughtering innocent hikers in cold blood? If they were truly creatures from a horror movie in every sense, would it be wrong to protect them? (Bella)

147. It was bad enough that my best friend was a werewolf. Did he have to be a monster, too? (Bella)

148. Could you… well, try to not be a… werewolf? (Bella)

149. Well, I’m so sorry that I can’t be the right kind of monster for you, Bella. I guess I’m just not as great as a bloodsucker, am I? (Jacob)

150. You really, honestly don’t mind that I morph into a giant dog? (Jacob)

151. Bella, honey, we only protect people from one thing—our one enemy. It’s the reason we exist—because they do. (Jacob)
152. Vampires don’t count as people. (Jacob)

153. I’m nothing but a human, after all. Nothing special. (Bella)

154. It was just luck that she hadn’t found me yet—just luck and five teenage werewolves. (Bella)

155. I’m sort of used to weird by this point, you know. (Bella)

156. When I… changed, it was the most… horrible, the most terrifying thing I’ve ever been through—worse than anything I could have imagined. (Jacob)

157. Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf? (Jacob)

158. I’m sure the leech-lover is just dying to help us out! (Paul)

159. Well, the wolf’s out of the bag now. (Embry)

160. I bet she’s tougher than that. She runs with vampires. (Embry)

163. Bella is not bait. (Jacob)

164. Hunting vampires is fun. It’s the best part of this whole mess. (Jacob)

165. When I dreamed, I stood in the forest again, but I didn’t wander. I was holding Emily’s scarred hand as we faced into the shadows and waited anxiously for our werewolves to come home. (Bella)

166. Last spring break, I’d been hunted by a vampire, too. I hoped this wasn’t some kind of tradition forming. (Bella)

167. Who wants to be a nightmare, a monster? (Jacob)

168. We’re a pretty messed-up pair, aren’t we? Neither one of us can hold our shape together right. (Jacob)

169. Jake could say what he wanted about us being a messed-up pair—I was the one who was truly messed up. I made the werewolf seem downright normal. (Bella)

170. Look, do you mind saving the stupid stuff for when I’m around? I won’t be able to concentrate if I think you’re jumping off cliffs behind my back. (Jacob)

171. I can’t go back. Treaty or no treaty, that’s my enemy in there. (Jacob)

172. Bye, Bella. I really hope you don’t die. (Jacob)

173. I’d forgotten how hard she was; it was like running headlong into a wall of cement. (Bella)

174. He was a fool to think you could survive alone. I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy. (Alice)

175. Your best friend is a werewolf? (Bella)

176. Edward was right—you’re a magnet for danger. Weren’t you supposed to be staying out of trouble? (Alice)

177. Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find. (Alice)

178. What did you think you were going to find? I mean, besides me dead? Did you expect to find me skipping around and whistling show tunes? You know me better than that. (Bella)

179. It was night of the living dead around here. I still hear her screaming in her sleep… (Charlie)

180. Well, run along now. Go tell Sam that the scary monsters aren’t coming to get you.
(Bella)

181. Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love. (Jacob)

182. Why does everyone keep doing that to me? I don’t smell! (Bella)

183. Sam would be mad if I broke the treaty, and you probably wouldn’t like it too much if I killed your friend. (Jacob)

184. It was easier when we were both human, wasn’t it? (Jacob)

185. The prince was never coming back to kiss me awake from my enchanted sleep. I was not a princess, after all. So what was the fairy-tale protocol for other kisses? The mundane kind that didn’t break any spells? (Bella)

186. We may already be too late. I saw him going to the Volturi… and asking to die. (Alice)

187. If he gives into his more theatrical tendencies… we might have time. (Alice)

188. There’s a very good chance that they will eliminate us all—though in your case it won’t be punishment so much as dinnertime. (Alice)

189. The sense of deja vu was nearly stifling by this point. At least, unlike the last time—when I’d run away from Forks to escape thirsty vampires rather than to find them—I wouldn’t have to say goodbye to Charlie in person. (Bella)

190. You don’t get a lot of suicidal vampires. (Alice)

191. You know what. If we’re too late for Edward, I’m going to do my damnedest to get you back to Charlie, and I don’t want any trouble from you. Do you understand that? (Alice)

192. You are so bizarre, even for a human. (Alice)

193. The image of Edward in the meadow—glowing, shimmering like his skin was made of a million diamond facets—was burned into my memory. No human who saw that would ever forget. (Bella)

194. How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto? (Alice)

195. Sheesh, Alice. Could you pick a more conspicuous car to steal? (Bella)

196. Try not to trip. We don’t have time for a concussion today. (Alice)

197. I wasn’t going to make it. I was stupid and slow and human, and we were all going to die because of it. (Bella)

198. You smell just exactly the same as always. So maybe this is hell. I don’t care. I’ll take it. (Edward)

199. In summary, she did jump off a cliff, but she wasn’t trying to kill herself. Bella’s all about the extreme sports these days. (Alice)

200. I love a happy ending. They are so rare. (Aro)

201. If I hadn’t smelled her through your memories, I wouldn’t have believed the call of anyone’s blood could be so strong. I’ve never felt anything like it myself. Most of us would trade much for such a gift, and yet you… (Aro)
202. I haven’t seen a prospective talent so promising since we found Jane and Alec. Can you imagine the possibilities when she is one of us? (Aro)

203. If she betrays our secrets, are you prepared to destroy her? I think not. (Caius)

204. Was it really such a loathsome idea? Would he rather die than change me? I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. (Bella)

205. I think she’s having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her. (Alice)

206. They have a name for someone who smells the way Bella does to me. They call her my singer—because her blood sings for me. (Edward)

207. It was heaven—right smack in the middle of hell. (Bella)

208. You will never put me through that again. (Esme)

209. I’m so very sorry, Bella. I feel wretched about every part of this, and so grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother after what I did. Please say you’ll forgive me. (Rosalie)

210. It took less than half a second for me to realize that, as long as I was truly insane now, I might as well enjoy the delusions while they were pleasant. (Bella)

211. I’m dead, right? I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! This is gonna kill Charlie. (Bella)

212. If I was in hell, you wouldn’t be with me. (Bella)

213. You should probably know that I’m breaking the rules right now. Well, not technically, since he said I was never to walk through his door again, and I came in the window… But, still, the intent was clear. (Edward)

214. The odds are always stacked against us. Mistake after mistake. I’ll never criticize Romeo again. (Edward)

215. I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella, I can’t live in a world where you don’t exist. (Edward)

216. After all the thousand times I’ve told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me? (Edward)

217. I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn’t want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you! (Edward)

218. His mouth was on mine then, and I couldn’t fight him. Not because he was so many thousand times stronger than me, but because my will crumbled into dust the second our lips met. (Bella)

219. Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything. (Edward)

220. My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone—like I was hollow. Like I’d left everything that was inside me here with you. (Edward)

221. My problems are a lot worse that a handful of adolescent wolves getting themselves into trouble. (Bella)

222. I cannot be without you, but I will not destroy your soul. (Edward)

223. You will always be the most beautiful thing in my world. Of course… If you outgrew me—if you wanted something more—I would understand that, Bella. I promise I wouldn’t stand in your way if you wanted to leave me. (Edward)

224. This isn’t just about you anymore. You’re not the center of the universe, you know. If you’re going to bring the Volturi down on us over something as stupid as leaving me human, then your family ought to have a say. (Bella)

225. I’ll earn your trust back somehow. It’s my final act. (Edward)

226. I don’t mean that I have any aversion to you as a sister. It’s just that… this is not the life I would have chosen for myself. I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me. (Rosalie)

227. You’ve chosen not to live without her, and that doesn’t leave me a choice. (Carlisle)

232. Because she’d rather you became one of the eternal damned than get married. (Edward)

233. So eager for eternal damnation. (Edward)

234. The fairy tale was back on. Prince returned, bad spell broken. I wasn’t sure exactly what to do about the leftover, unresolved character. Where was his happily ever after?Charlie… is probably not going to kill you, but he’s thinking about it. (Bella)

235. The sting of betrayal washed through me. I had trusted Jacob implicitly—trusted him with every single secret I had. He was supposed to be my safe harbor—the person I could always rely on. (Bella)

236. Let me go! I’m going to murder him! Traitor! (Bella)

237. I’m already grounded! Why do you think I haven’t been down to La Push to kick your butt for avoiding my phone calls? (Bella)

239. I’m a quick learner, Jacob Black, and I don’t make the same mistake twice. I’m here until she orders me away. (Edward)

240. The only thing that Jacob would want from Edward would be his absence. (Bella)

241. Charlie might just send me to military school. But that won’t keep me away from Edward. There’s nothing that can do that. (Bella)

242. The treaty is quite specific. If any of them bite a human, the truce is over. Bite, not kill. (Jacob)

243. I knew that last glimpse of his face would haunt me until I saw him smile again. (Bella)

244. Edward was here, with his arms around me. I could face anything as long as that was true. I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with my destiny solidly at my side. (Bella)
