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!
