Quarter 2-Blog #3- ECLIPSE

Over thanksgiving break I finished reading Eclipse. It was really good and full of suspense! At the bonfire the elders just told stories of the past which we interesting to hear about. Then everything becomes really intense because Alice sees an army of newborn vampires, who are really dangerous, coming to Forks. Everything starts to become connected between the killings in Seattle to the army coming to Forks, to the vampire who had been in Bella’s room. Another major thing that happens is that Jacob Black tells Bella that he is in love with her and without warning kisses her. She fell assaulted but he tells her that she loves him too. She is very confused and Edward is angry with Jacob. Then the Cullen’s realize that they will need to fight off the army that is coming for Bella, which makes Bella terrified for their safety, especially Edwards. Interestingly, the vampires and the werewolves end up making a truce or pact for this battle and ally themselves so that they can be a much stronger force and bring down the army easily. Bella ends up getting Edward to stay with her event though she feels guilty. Edward and Jacob also take Bella into the woods make different tracks to confuse the army. When they are camping out Jacob gets to sleep by Bella because there is a storm and he can keep her warm, unlike Edward who is ice cold. Meanwhile, Edward has proposed to Bella and of course, she said yes even though she hates the idea of marriage. Jacob realizes this and is very angry and heartbroken. While Edward is away for a little while Jacob tricks Bella into kissing him b y telling her he will kill himself if she doesn’t. Bella realizes that she does love him too and she begins to cry. Then the fight happens. Everything is going well until Victoria and her partner Riley find Bella and Edward. After a long suspenseful fight Edward wins and it seems to all be over until we hear that Jacob had been severely injured. Since he is a werewolf he will heal really fast but it is still hard for Bella to cope with. She goes to see him and in a way they say goodbye but not necessarily forever and Bella spends the whole not sobbing. Jane and Felix from another vampire coven called the Volturi, show up in the clearing after the fight and cause some disturbance by killing a vampire, and realizing that Bella is still human. Later Bella tells Alice that she can plan the wedding, which was her dream come true, and then she and Edward go up to their meadow where out of no where he tells her she can choose everything and that he was sorry for pushing extensions and deadlines on her, but once he says that she decides she wants to do it that way after all. At the end of the book it is Jacob talking which was weird but it was showing how he was trying to cope. He also received a wedding invitation from Edward with a note inside that said he wanted him to have the choice as to whether or not to come. I thought this was a nice thing to do since they are enemies and Jacob had trying to take Bella from Edward. I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series, Breaking Dawn!

Quarter 2-Blog #2- ECLIPSE

So much happened in the chapters of Eclipse that I read this week! First of all Bella does go back to see Jacob, but it ends badly when he can’t control his anger and tells Bella that he would rather see her dead than as a vampire. This makes Bella really mad and she leaves and goes home. The next day she is home and in her room for the first time since her “slumber party” with Alice. She notices a bunch of things missing and cleaned up and just assumes it was Alice who had cleaned up. When Edward comes over he smells a scent he never had before and gets worried. Jacob calls to apologize about what he had said and Bella forgives him because he is her best friend. While they are on the phone Edward talks to him and they decide that Jacob should come and smell the scent to so that the werewolf side of the boundary can track the new person lurking around. Edward decides to check the paper and sure enough there is an article about a serial killer around town and Edward knows that this is a sign of a young vampire. This could be bad because that could send the Volturi to Forks to fix it, and if they do they might check on Bella to see if the Cullen’s had changed her yet like they promised. Jacob asked Bella to go to a bonfire in La Push and Edward is letting her. I wonder what will happen at the bonfire and if any of it will be bad! I also am really curious about who the person that had been in Bella’s room is. Everything is really suspenseful and it is hard to put the book down because I always want to know what’s going to happen next! I love it and can’t wait to read more!

Quarter 2- Blog #1- ECLIPSE

I decided to put off reading Nineteen Minutes for a little while because I really wanted to start reading Eclipse which is the third book in the very popular Twilight series. It is amazing so far! Edward is back and Jacob Black, Bella’s best friend and werewolf, wont see her even though he wants to. Edward is forbidding Bella from seeing him anyway, even though she really wants to. This is really hard because Jacob and Edward are enemies and both very strong so it would be stupid to try and argue with them. Alice, Edward’s sister has a vision that Victoria, the vampire out to kill Bella, has returned. Even though Edward knows he can keep her safe he decides to get her out of town and he and Bella go to Florida to see her mom. Neither of Bella’s parents particularly likes Edward after the whole incident where he left and put her into deep depression. When they get back from the trip Bella makes Edward tell her what is going on. Then one day when Edward is “hunting” Bella sneaks up to La Push to see Jacob. They spend the afternoon together talking and catching up. Bella finds out that Jacob also doesn’t grow older, but unlike Edward he eventually will once he is old enough to quit being a werewolf. Then sadly Bella has to leave knowing she will be in big trouble with Edward. She goes to her friend Angela’s to help her with a project, and then finally has to go home and face Edward. They fought for a while but both got over it for the time being. This book is so suspenseful and full of events! I can’t wait to read more! I wonder if now that she’s broken the ice once, Bella will continue sneaking out to La Push to se Jacob. I guess ill just have to wait and see!
