In Seattle, not far from Forks, Victoria, who still wanted to revenge to Bella for James death, had attacks and bites Riley Biers,
in order to begin creating an army of newborns, who are many times
stronger during their first few months than older vampires, follow by
the death of her friend Laurent. Back in Forks, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan
discuss the complications of becoming an immortal vampire. At 18 years
old, one year older than Edward was when he became a vampire, Bella
expresses her dislike to the idea of marrying so young, though Edward
refuses to turn her into a vampire until they are married, his argument
being that she should have various human experiences she would otherwise
miss. While Charlie Swan
investigates the disappearance of Riley Biers, Edward suspects his
disappearance was caused by Victoria and her newborn's army; furthering
his suspicions is Riley's intrusion into Bella's room.
Bella insists that Jacob Black and the rest of the werewolf
pack would never harm her. Bella wants to go to Jacob's home even
though Edward expresses his dislike and concern for her safety, but she
returns unharmed. During one of her visits, Jacob confesses that he is
in love with Bella, and forcefully kisses her. Furious, she punches him
and sprains her hand, and Edward later threatens Jacob and tells him to
only kiss her if she asks him to. Bella even revokes the invitations of
Jacob and his pack members to her graduation party, but when Jacob
apologizes for his behavior, she forgives him.
Meanwhile, Alice sees a vision that the newborn army will attack Forks within the week, led by Riley Biers. Jacob, accompanied by Quil and Embry
overhear this, which leads to an alliance between the Cullens and Wolf
pack. Later, the Cullens and the wolves agree to a meeting place and
time to train and discuss strategy against the powerful newborns. During
the training Jasper
explains to Bella that he was created by a vampire named Maria to
control a newborn army. He hated his original existence until he met
Alice and joined the Cullens. Bella sees the true bond between a mated
vampire pair and begins to understand Jasper better. Despite her
reluctance to marry, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward
is more important to her than anything else and agrees to marry him.
Edward and Bella camp in the mountains to hide Bella from the
bloodthirsty newborns. During the night, Bella overhears a conversation
between Edward and Jacob, in which they temporarily put aside their
hatred towards each other. In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and
Bella discussing their engagement and storms off, angrily. Bella
desperately asks Jacob to kiss her, and she realizes that she has fallen
in love with him. Edward finds out about the kiss but is not upset, as
Bella says she loves him more than Jacob.
When Victoria appears, Edward kills her while Seth kills Riley. The
Cullens and the Quileute wolves, meanwhile, destroy her "army", though
Jacob is injured saving Leah Clearwater from a newborn. Several members
of the vampire overlords, the Volturi, arrive to deal with the newborn army. They also see that the Cullens are guarding the newborn, Bree Tanner,
who had refused to fight and surrendered to Carlisle. Jane briefly
tortures Bree to get information, then has Felix kill her, despite the
Cullens' efforts to spare her. When Jane notes that Caius will find it
interesting that Bella is still human, Bella informs her that the date
for her transformation has been set. Bella visits the injured Jacob to
tell him that even though she is in love with him, she has chosen to be
with Edward. Saddened by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees not to
come between her and Edward.
Bella and Edward go to their meadow, where she tells him she has
decided to do things his way: get married, make love, then be
transformed into a vampire. She also explains that she never has been
normal and never will be; she's felt out of place her entire life, but
when she is in Edward's world she feels stronger and complete. At the
end of the story they decide they need to tell Charlie about their
engagement, for which Bella is happy Edward is bulletproof.
