SEQ . EXT. Shot of Forks mountains and forest to suggest passage of time.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of running of what appears to be “human” legs, closely followed by the four-legged kind. More join the hunt until there are at least 5 wolves.

SEQ . EXT. La Push beach. The “human” legs run into the water. Wolf Jacob follows then halts abruptly, turns back, acknowledges the Alpha, and stands at his side. The whole pack stares out to the open sea where the silhouette of a strong swimmer is visible. The pack howls a warning for the intruder.

SEQ . EXT. Open sea. Edward Cullen is driving a powerful motorboat and approaching the harbor.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella lies catatonic on her bed, hugging her torso, staring at nothing. Charlie and Dr. Gerandy talk in hushed whispers just outside her door.

CHARLIE
What’s wrong with her, doc? It’s been a week since Jacob Black found her in the forest. She doesn’t want to eat or sleep. I’m going crazy here. I don’t know what to do. Do we need to hospitalize her?

DR. GERANDY
There’s nothing physically wrong with her. I think what she needs more is someone to talk to.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella is talking to Renee on the mobile phone.

BELLA
I’m fine, Mom.

RENEE
Are you eating? Sleeping well?

BELLA
Yes, mom.

RENEE
I really miss you.

BELLA
Miss you too.

RENEE
How about coming over to Jacksonville, sweetheart?

BELLA
Sure, mom.

RENEE
Well, actually, I didn’t mean just for a vacation. Charlie and I have been talking. We thought it would be best if you moved back in with me. Phil’s really excited to see you.

BELLA
What?!! How dare you make a decision about my life? I’m eighteen, and I can choose what to do! It’s my life! You have no right! I want to stay here in Forks.

Bella cuts off the connection. Charlie knocks on the door. Bella flings it open.

Do you want me out of this house? Why didn’t you say anything? Just give me a little time to look for a place, and –

CHARLIE
Bells, Bells… You’ve got it all wrong. Of course, I want you to stay here. I was just worried that I can’t seem to help you. I just thought your mother can take better good care of you at this time.

BELLA
I’m sorry, Dad. I know I’m being a pain right now.

Charlie awkwardly hugs Bella.

CHARLIE
I wish I can make the pain go away. It’s going to be okay, baby. You’ll be okay.

SEQ . INT. Biology Classroom. Bella automatically goes to the same table that she and Edward used to occupy. She pauses then deliberately sits somewhere else.

ERIC
Hey, Bella. That’s my spot.

Bella doesn’t move.

ERIC
It’s cool. I’ll just go and tell Mr. Molina we’re trading places. It’s okay. You’re still my home girl.

SEQ . EXT. School Hallway. Bell rings. Bella is the first out of the classroom as the hallway fills with students.

SEQ . EXT. School Parking Lot. Bella hurriedly boards her truck. Mike and Angela break away from the group and try to run after her.

ANGELA
Bella!

MIKE
Bells! Wait up!

Jessica jealously pulls Mike back.

JESSICA
What are you doing? You’re making a spectacle of yourself.

Bella ignores them and drives away. Angela stares after her truck.

SEQ a. INT. Bella’s truck. She suddenly spies the new radio / CD player. She pulls over, and tries to remove it. In her attempts, she accidentally presses the play button. Edward’s lullaby fills the truck, which makes her even more frantic to rip out the radio / CD player.

EDWARD
(seated on passenger side) Bella, stop it. You’ll hurt yourself.

Bella pauses, and then continues trying to pull it before finally succeeding.

EDWARD
Love, your hands. You’re bleeding.

Bella reaches towards the passenger side.

EDWARD
No, Bella!

SEQ b. EXT Bella is alone in the truck, crying with her arms wrapped around her torso.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Dream Sequence. Bella is running after Edward until the darkness engulfs her.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella wakes up screaming. Charlie knocks and talks to her through thee door

CHARLIE
Bells, you okay, honey?

Bella opens the door.

BELLA
Sorry, dad. It was just a nightmare.

CHARLIE
The same one?

BELLA
Yeah.

CHARLIE
Bella. When your mom and I divorced, I went to– uhm, you know. A shrink.

BELLA
(reluctantly) I’ll check out the school’s guidance counselor tomorrow after my last class.

SEQ . INT. English classroom.

MR. BERTY
Even better than seeing Shakespeare being performed is performing it yourselves.

JESSICA
You mean the guys have to wear tights?!? Oohhh… Nice.

The whole class laughs and jeers. The boys tease and taunt each other.

MR. BERTY
(shakes his head) No need. We can make a modern version of Romeo and Juliet with everybody in jeans and shirts. We’ll study it in class first.

SEQ . EXT. School grounds. Baseball class.

COACH
Bella, don’t hit the ball, okay? Bella, did you hear me?

Bella nods.

COACH
(to the pitcher) Let’s just go for a walk. (under his breath) For safety’s sake.

Bella stands still as the ball passes her. Bella has a flashback of Edward and she driving to the baseball field, Edward fixing the cap on her hair, laughing, etc. During the fourth pitch, she remembers James and his hunt. She accidentally drops the bat on the catcher’s head.

MIKE
OW!

BELLA
I’m sorry.

MIKE
It’s okay. I’m okay!

SEQ . INT. Guidance Counselor’s Office.

COUNSELOR
So, Bella, how did your day go? Is there anything you wanted to talk about?

BELLA
Is it normal to have, uhm, hallucinations? I think there’s something wrong with my brain.

COUNSELOR
Well, it’s very normal to daydream. What do you mean by hallucinations? Would you like to tell me what you saw?

Bella remains silent.

COUNSELOR
That’s alright, dear. When you’re ready.

SEQ a. EXT. Forest campsite.

HANNAH
Matt, are you sure you cleaned the pans? If a bear smells them…

MATT
Yeah, yeah. Hannah, it’s not exactly my first time, you know.

HANNAH
Sorry, there has just been a lot of talk lately about giant grizzly sightings. It’s making me jumpy.

MATT
(teases) And, just like it says in the ‘Top 10 Things to Do to Avoid Bear Attacks,’ I will now go 200 yards away from the campsite to hang the food and pans on a tree.

HANNAH
I’ll go with you.

MATT
Don’t be silly. I’ll be back in a sec.

HANNAH
Hurry back, okay?

MATT
(soothingly) I’ll whistle so you’ll know where I am.

SEQ b. EXT. Forest. An indeterminate shadow is stalking Matt. The shadow attacks. The whistling abruptly stops.

SEQ c. EXT. Forest campsite.

HANNAH
Matt? Matt? That’s not funny!

Hannah hears rustling and assumes it’s Matt coming back.

HANNAH
I hate you. Don’t do that e —

Hannah screams as she is attacked as well.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella wakes up screaming. Charlie knocks.

BELLA
I’m okay, dad.

CHARLIE
(through the door) You sure?

BELLA
(sharply) I said I’m okay! Sorry, dad.

SEQ . EXT. Forest in autumn. Leaves falling from the trees to indicate change of season.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Wolf Jacob is in pursuit of a vampire. A babble of wolf voices can be heard.

WOLF PAUL
Get that bloodsucker!

WOLF SETH
Careful, Jake!

WOLF LEAH
We’re right behind you.

WOLF SAM
Close in fast and corner him.

SEQ . EXT. Swan house’s street. Children are running about in Halloween costumes.

SEQ . INT. Swan house hallway. Doorbell chimes. Charlie is in the living room watching TV.

CHARLIE
(from the living room) Where’s the candy bowl?

Bella goes down the stairs towards the front door.

BELLA
I’ll do it, Dad.

Bella steels herself and opens the door and sees the three children dressed as a vampire, princess and werewolf.

KIDS (VAMPIRE, PRINCESS & WEREWOLF)
Trick or treat!

Bella is visibly shaken at the sight of the child vampire. She hurriedly gives them candy.

BELLA
Here you go.

KIDS
Thank you!

SEQ b. INT. Swan House Living Room. Charlie hears the sound of breaking glass.

CHARLIE
Bells?

SEQ c. INT. Swan House Hallway. Charlie sees the broken glass bowl with candies strewn all over the floor. Running feet going up the stairs and then a slammed door are heard.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of wolf legs phasing into “human” ones. Agitated whispers are heard from everyone as they get dressed.

PAUL
We lost the damned bloodsucker!

The pack becomes silent as soon as the Alpha speaks.

SAM
Jake, where did you smell this new vampire trail?

JACOB
He’s from the north. It’s not the same female we chased into the sea a couple of months ago.

SETH
Do you think this new one is the female’s mate?

LEAH
If we kill either one of them, the remaining leech will come back for revenge for sure.

JACOB
If those bloodsuckers think that they can just go into our territory, they’re dead wrong. We’ll teach them not to mess with us or they’ll end up in pieces in a blazing bonfire!

PAUL
Let them come! More fun for us!

SAM
Brothers and sister, remember to follow our rules. Make sure it’s not one of the Cullens. We must uphold the treaty.

A chorus of protesting growls are emitted by the pack members.

SAM
I am the Alpha! You will obey!

The pack acquiesce reluctantly.

SEQ . INT. Cullens dining room.

CARLISLE
Alice has seen the possibility of Edward going to the Volturi…

ESME
No!

Esme starts to moan incessantly. Alice tries to comfort her.

ALICE
Esme, it’s not certain yet. It’s just one of the many possibilities of the future. But, I do know what will cause it. Whether it’s going to happen when she’s 18 or 85, it doesn’t matter. There can only be one reason behind it — Bella’s death.

ROSALIE
(suspiciously) Why isn’t Emmett here?

CARLISLE
He’s out hunting at my request. I’m sorry, Rosalie, but I’ve asked Emmett to help Edward track Victoria down. I’m hoping that the search will go faster with Emmett assisting Edward. When that is accomplished, I’m also hoping that Edward will come home with Emmett so that we can watch over him.

ESME
Yes! Carlisle, please bring him home.

ROSALIE
That isn’t all, is it?

CARLISLE
Please understand, Rosalie. Emmett is the only one who might be strong enough to stop Edward if he suddenly decides to act foolishly, such as provoking the Volturi. I told him to follow Edward to South America. (warningly) And nothing else.

Rosalie goes into an attack crouching position in front of Carlisle. Jasper goes into an offensive position as well. Carlisle holds up a hand to restrain Jasper. Esme watches, horrified at the scene, while Alice is in the middle of a vision to view the possible outcomes of the confrontation.

ROSALIE
You don’t want Edward to know that you intend to stop him if he decides to commit suicide by breaking the rules of the Volturi? Don’t you care about Emmett? He’ll be executed by the Volturi as an accomplice, even if he doesn’t help Edward with this idiocy.

CARLISLE
It will not come to that. We can prevent it. Let me be very clear — I will NOT lose any of my sons! Even if it means biting Bella myself and turning her into a vampire despite Edward’s wishes!

Emmett arrives from his hunt and is oblivious to what has just transpired.

EMMETT
I’m now swimming in blood, ready to be around thirst quenching senoritas y senoritos. (laughs) That bear was no match for me.

Rosalie rushes to Emmett, crashes him against the wall, which breaks apart, all the while kissing him fiercely.

EMMETT
Wow! What brought that on? I’m not complaining, baby.

Emmett sees everyone’s strained expressions and mistakenly thinks it’s about his trip.

EMMETT
I didn’t realize you guys would miss me so much. Maybe I should go away more often.

SEQ . INT. School Canteen. Bella gets a soda and sees a group in the Cullens’ usual table. She gasps, having a flashback of the Cullens, until a movement of the group reveals it’s not them. Angela breaks away from the group and sits with her on a vacant table.

ANGELA
Bella, the guys are thinking of caroling during Christmas for extra pocket money. Would you like to join us?

BELLA
I don’t sing.

ANGELA
Well, actually, none of the guys can really sing. That’s why we pulled in Tori. (refers to a girl with the group) That’s the blonde girl with the short hair. She’s the only one who can really carry a tune and she’s teaching the rest of us. She used to be part of their church choir or something. She just transferred here.

The rest of the group comes nearer.

ERIC
C’mon, Bells, we haven’t seen you in ages.

MARK
We miss you.

JESSICA
(peevishly) Yeah, we miss you. And, Tyler here sorta feels left out with… You know. Because I’m with Mark, and Angela’s with Eric, and Tyler is…

TYLER
Hey Bells, it’s cool. Just hang out with us. We’ll have a great time. We’ll sing jingle bells.

Tyler sings with gusto and gains the canteen school crowd’s attention. Bella just shakes her head and moves to an isolated spot in the canteen.

ERIC
(to Jessica) Don’t you think that was a bit insen...
