Meyer；　Stephanie；　1973—　

Twilight　：　a　novel　　by　Stephanie　Meyer。　—　1st　ed。　

Summary：　Grade　9　Up–Headstrong；　sunloving；　17yearold　Bella　declines　her　mom's　
invitation　to　move　to　Florida；　and　instead　reluctantly　opts　to　move　to　her　dad's　cabin　in　
the　dreary；　rainy　town　of　Forks；　WA。　She　bees　intrigued　with　Edward　Cullen；　a　distant；　
stylish；　and　disarmingly　handsome　senior；　who　is　also　a　vampire。　When　he　reveals　that　his　
specific　clan　hunts　wildlife　instead　of　humans；　Bella　deduces　that　she　is　safe　from　his　
bloodsucking　instincts　and　therefore　free　to　fall　hopelessly　in　love　with　him。　The　
feeling　is　mutual；　and　the　resulting　volatile　romance　smolders　as　they　attempt　to　hide　
Edward's　identity　from　her　family　and　the　rest　of　the　school。　Meyer　adds　an　eerie　new　
twist　to　the　mismatched；　starcrossed　lovers　theme：　predator　falls　for　prey；　human　falls　
for　vampire。　This　tension　strips　away　any　pretense　readers　may　have　about　the　everyday　

teen　romance　novel；　and　kissing；　touching；　and　talking　take　on　an　entirely　new　meaning　
when　one　small　mistake　could　be　lifethreatening。　Bella　and　Edward's　struggle　to　make　
their　relationship　work　bees　a　struggle　for　survival；　especially　when　vampires　from　an　
outside　clan　infiltrate　the　Cullen　territory　and　head　straight　for　her。　As　a　result；　the　
novel's　dangerfactor　skyrockets　as　the　excitement　of　secret　love　and　hushed　affection　
morphs　into　a　terrifying　race　to　stay　alive。　Realistic；　subtle；　succinct；　and　easy　to　
follow；　Twilight　will　have　readers　dying　to　sink　their　teeth　into　it。

But　of　the　tree　of　the　knowledge　of　good　and　evil；

thou　shalt　surely　die。

PREFACE　




I'd　never　given　much　thought　to　how　I　would　die　—　though　I'd　had　reason　
enough　in　the　last　few　months　—　but　even　if　I　had；　I　would　not　have　
imagined　it　like　this。　

I　stared　without　breathing　across　the　long　room；　into　the　dark　eyes　of　
the　hunter；　and　he　looked　pleasantly　back　at　me。　

Surely　it　was　a　good　way　to　die；　in　the　place　of　someone　else；　someone　I　
loved。　Noble；　even。　That　ought　to　count　for　something。　

I　knew　that　if　I'd　never　gone　to　Forks；　I　wouldn't　be　facing　death　now。　
But；　terrified　as　I　was；　I　couldn't　bring　myself　to　regret　the　decision。　
When　life　offers　you　a　dream　so　far　beyond　any　of　your　expectations；　it's　
not　reasonable　to　grieve　when　it　es　to　an　end。　

The　hunter　smiled　in　a　friendly　way　as　he　sauntered　forward　to　kill　me。　

===========================================================================　


1。　FIRST　SIGHT　

My　mother　drove　me　to　the　airport　with　the　windows　rolled　down。　It　was　
seventyfive　degrees　in　Phoenix；　the　sky　a　perfect；　cloudless　blue。　I　was　
wearing　my　favorite　shirt　—　sleeveless；　white　eyelet　lace；　I　was　wearing　
it　as　a　farewell　gesture。　My　carryon　item　was　a　parka。　

In　the　Olympic　Peninsula　of　northwest　Washington　State；　a　small　town　
named　Forks　exists　under　a　nearconstant　cover　of　clouds。　It　rains　on　
this　inconsequential　town　more　than　any　other　place　in　the　United　States　
of　America。　It　was　from　this　town　and　its　gloomy；　omnipresent　shade　that　
my　mother　escaped　with　me　when　I　was　only　a　few　months　old。　It　was　in　
this　town　that　I'd　been　pelled　to　spend　a　month　every　summer　until　I　
was　fourteen。　That　was　the　year　I　finally　put　my　foot　down；　these　past　
three　summers；　my　dad；　Charlie；　vacationed　with　me　in　California　for　two　
weeks　instead。　

It　was　to　Forks　that　I　now　exiled　myself—　an　action　that　I　took　with　
great　horror。　I　detested　Forks。　

I　loved　Phoenix。　I　loved　the　sun　and　the　blistering　heat。　I　loved　the　
vigorous；　sprawling　city。　

〃Bella；〃　my　mom　said　to　me　—　the　last　of　a　thousand　times　—　before　I　got　
on　the　plane。　〃You　don't　have　to　do　this。〃　

My　mom　looks　like　me；　except　with　short　hair　and　laugh　lines。　I　felt　a　
spasm　of　panic　as　I　stared　at　her　wide；　childlike　eyes。　How　could　I　leave　
my　loving；　erratic；　harebrained　mother　to　fend　for　herself？　Of　course　she　
had　Phil　now；　so　the　bills　would　probably　get　paid；　there　would　be　food　
in　the　refrigerator；　gas　in　her　car；　and　someone　to　call　when　she　got　
lost；　but　still…　

〃I　want　to　go；〃　I　lied。　I'd　always　been　a　bad　liar；　but　I'd　been　saying　
this　lie　so　frequently　lately　that　it　sounded　almost　convincing　now。　

〃Tell　Charlie　I　said　hi。〃　

〃I　will。〃　

〃I'll　see　you　soon；〃　she　insisted。　〃You　can　e　home　whenever　you　want　—　
I'll　e　right　back　as　soon　as　you　need　me。〃　

But　I　could　see　the　sacrifice　in　her　eyes　behind　the　promise。　

〃Don't　worry　about　me；〃　I　urged。　〃It'll　be　great。　I　love　you；　Mom。〃　

She　hugged　me　tightly　for　a　minute；　and　then　I　got　on　the　plane；　and　she　
was　gone。　

It's　a　fourhour　flight　from　Phoenix　to　Seattle；　another　hour　in　a　small　
plane　up　to　Port　Angeles；　and　then　an　hour　drive　back　down　to　Forks。　
Flying　doesn't　bother　me；　the　hour　in　the　car　with　Charlie；　though；　I　was　
a　little　worried　about。　

Charlie　had　really　been　fairly　nice　about　the　whole　thing。　He　seemed　
genuinely　pleased　that　I　was　ing　to　live　with　him　for　the　first　time　
with　any　degree　of　permanence。　He'd　already　gotten　me　registered　for　high　
school　and　was　going　to　help　me　get　a　car。　

But　it　was　sure　to　be　awkward　with　Charlie。　Neither　of　us　was　what　anyone　
would　call　verbose；　and　I　didn't　know　what　there　was　to　say　regardless。　I　
knew　he　was　more　than　a　little　confused　by　my　decision　—　like　my　mother　
before　me；　I　hadn't　made　a　secret　of　my　distaste　for　Forks。　

When　I　landed　in　Port　Angeles；　it　was　raining。　I　didn't　see　it　as　an　omen　
—　just　unavoidable。　I'd　already　said　my　goodbyes　to　the　sun。　

Charlie　was　waiting　for　me　with　the　cruiser。　This　I　was　expecting；　too。　
Charlie　is　Police　Chief　Swan　to　the　good　people　of　Forks。　My　primary　
motivation　behind　buying　a　car；　despite　the　scarcity　of　my　funds；　was　
that　I　refused　to　be　driven　around　town　in　a　car　with　red　and　blue　lights　
on　top。　Nothing　slows　down　traffic　like　a　cop。　

Charlie　gave　me　an　awkward；　onearmed　hug　when　I　stumbled　my　way　off　the　
plane。　

〃It's　good　to　see　you；　Bells；〃　he　said；　smiling　as　he　automatically　
caught　and　steadied　me。　〃You　haven't　changed　much。　How's　Renée？〃　

〃Mom's　fine。　It's　good　to　see　you；　too；　Dad。〃　I　wasn't　allowed　to　call　
him　Charlie　to　his　face。　

I　had　only　a　few　bags。　Most　of　my　Arizona　clothes　were　too　permeable　for　
Washington。　My　mom　and　I　had　pooled　our　resources　to　supplement　my　winter　
wardrobe；　but　it　was　still　scanty。　It　all　fit　easily　into　the　trunk　of　
the　cruiser。　

〃I　found　a　good　car　for　you；　really　cheap；〃　he　announced　when　we　were　
strapped　in。　

〃What　kind　of　car？〃　I　was　suspicious　of　the　way　he　said　〃good　car　for　
you〃　as　opposed　to　just　〃good　car。〃　

〃Well；　it's　a　truck　actually；　a　Chevy。〃　

〃Where　did　you　find　it？〃　

〃Do　you　remember　Billy　Black　down　at　La　Push？〃　La　Push　is　the　tiny　Indian　
reservation　on　the　coast。　

〃No。〃　

〃He　used　to　go　fishing　with　us　during　the　summer；〃　Charlie　prompted。　

That　would　explain　why　I　didn't　remember　him。　I　do　a　good　job　of　blocking　
painful；　unnecessary　things　from　my　memory。　

〃He's　in　a　wheelchair　now；〃　Charlie　continued　when　I　didn't　respond；　〃so　
he　can't　drive　anymore；　and　he　offered　to　sell　me　his　truck　cheap。〃　

〃What　year　is　it？〃　I　could　see　from　his　change　of　expression　that　this　
was　the　question　he　was　hoping　I　wouldn't　ask。　

〃Well；　Billy's　done　a　lot　of　work　on　the　engine　—　it's　only　a　few　years　
old；　really。〃　

I　hoped　he　didn't　think　so　little　of　me　as　to　believe　I　would　give　up　
that　easily。　〃When　did　he　buy　it？〃　

〃He
