Week 4

I finished the book! I read for 2 hours and 15 minutes split between last night and this morning. I left off with Bella, Edward, and Alice on their way to see the Volturi. They make it to the Volturi and Aro asks Edward again if he wanted to join them. He refused, so then they asked Alice. She also refused. He even asked Bella, who also refused. Bella and the Volturu found out that Bella is the one exeption to the vampires special powers. Just as Edward could not read Bella's mind, other vampires also could not use their powers on her. Aro thought it would be great to have someone like her join them. She, of course, would have to be turned into a vampire. Edward would not let this happen and Aro knew this. He told Edward that he could do it himself as long as he meant it when he said he would. Aro would know whether or not Edward meant it using his power. Alice convinced Aro that it would happen by letting him see her thoughts and see that she had a vision of it happening. They were allowed to leave after Alice did that. The rest of the Cullens met Edward, Alice, and Bella at the airport. Rosalie apologized for everything and Bella accepted her apology. They took Bella back to Charlie's and Charlie was very upset. He told Edward he was not allowed in the house. Edward convinced him to let him get Bella in bed then he would leave. After Edward left he snuck in Bella's window. When Bella woke up she thought she was dreaming, but Edward finally convinced her she was not. They talked for a long time about everything. He told her what it was like to be apart from her. Then they talked about the Volturi's decision that she must be changed. He told her that he had a plan and she got upset and wanted to go see the other Cullens. Eward ended up taking her to see them. When she got there she made the family vote whether or not to change her, so she could be a part of their family. Tne votes were in her favor, but Edward convinced her to wait until she graduated. She agreed to that and Carlisle gave her his word that he would change her then. When they got back to Bella's, Edward asked Bella to marry him. He asked her becasue he wanted to be married before she was changed. he also said he would change her himself if she waited longer and married him. She was very skeptical about this marriage thing. Renee doesn't think a person should get married until they are thirty so she knew her mom wouldn't like that. She ended up waking Charlie up, so Edward hid in the closet. Charlie and Bella talked about Edward and how Charlie did not want her to see him. She told him that she was going to see him or else she would move out. Bella was grounded because she left with Alice, but Edward was still allowed over during specific hours. One day when Edward was taking Bella home he knew Charlie was going to be mad at her. Jacob had taken Bella's motorcycle to Charlie's and told him it was hers. As they were pulling up to the house Edward said that Jacob was in the woods and wanted to talk to them. They went there and Jacob reminded Edward about the treaty, and that if the Cullens were to bite a human, it would break the treaty. Bella reacted to this showing Jacob that they were planning on it eventually. Charlie saw Edward's car and started hollering for Bella. They hurried out of the woods to Charlie's, but that is where the book ended. I do not know what Charlie said or did. This book ended strangely. I really wanted to know how much trouble Bella was in. I'm sure I will find out in Eclipse, but I don't think I am going to start reading it right away. I am going to read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood next.
