Storyline

After Bella recovers from the vampire attack that almost claimed her life, she looks to celebrate her birthday with Edward and his family. However, a minor accident during the festivities results in Bella's blood being shed, a sight that proves too intense for the Cullens, who decide to leave the town of Forks, Washington for Bella and Edward's sake. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even-closer friendship with Jacob Black. Danger in different forms awaits. Written by IMDb Editors

Quotes

Bella Swan: Laurent!
Laurent: I didn't expect to find you here. I went to visit the Cullens, but, the house is empty. I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?
Bella Swan: Yeah. You could say that.
Laurent: Do the Cullens visit often?
Edward Cullen: [appearing as a vision] Lie.
Bella Swan: Yeah, absolutely. All the time.
Edward Cullen: Lie better.
Bella Swan: I'll tell them that you stopped by. I probably shouldn't tell... Edward. He's pretty protective.
Laurent: But he's far away isn't he?
Bella Swan: Why are you here?
