Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #11

The four Guys then REV their bikes and PEEL out. Bella

watches them go as Jessica storms up.

JESSICA:

What the hell is wrong with you?!

BELLA:

(almost to herself)

I... saw something.

JESSICA:

You. Are insane. Or suicidal.

BELLA:

(trying to figure it out)

The more dangerous... the more real it

was.

JESSICA:

So, what, you're like an adrenaline

junky now? Go hang-gliding or bungie-

jumping. Don't be a complete freak.

35.

An angry Jessica charges off. Bella watches the motorcycles

disappear down the street as --

BELLA (V.O.)

He wasn't real. I knew that. I

didn't care. I needed to see him. If

danger's what it took, that's what I'd

find.

Off Bella, determination settling into her face...

EXT. JACOB BLACK'S HOUSE - DAY

Bella pulls up in her truck, a tarp covering something big

in the back. Jacob comes out of the house. A huge grin.

JACOB:

Bella!

Bella hops out, Jacob gives her a hug. Bella's surprised by

his affection, but doesn't mind.

JACOB:

`Bout time you came by.

BELLA:

I brought you something.

Bella pulls the tarp back, revealing - her neighbor's two

dilapidated, rusting MOTORCYCLES.

JACOB:

Scrap metal. You shouldn't have.

BELLA:

I rescued them from the dump. They'd

cost more than they're worth to fix...

unless one had a mechanic-type friend.

JACOB:

Me, being the mechanic-type friend?

(off her shrug)

Since when are you into motorcycles?

BELLA:

Recently.

JACOB:

(studying the bikes)

The parts alone will be pricey.

BELLA:

I have a college fund I can dig into.

36.

JACOB:

Charlie's gonna love that.

BELLA:

Charlie won't know.

JACOB:

Wow. Lying to Dad. Blowing through

college money. Repairing dangerous

machines - that I'm guessing you'll

want to ride?

BELLA:

I really get it if you think this is

stupid and reckless.

JACOB:

Oh it's totally stupid and reckless.

(leans closer, grins)

When do we start?

Bella face spreads into something we haven't seen in a

while... a wide smile. As they pull the bikes off the

truck, they laugh and joke; it's as though Jacob has brought

Bella back to life. But --

UNKNOWN POV - ON BELLA AND JACOB FROM A DISTANCE

-- someone's watching as the two of them wheel the bikes

into the garage. REVERSE on the watcher to discover --

EXT. EDGE OF THE WOODS - SAM ULEY - SAME

Next to Sam stand two others, JARED, 17, and PAUL, 18. All

three have cropped hair, sleeveless shirts, cut-offs. It's

unsettling how they watch Bella and Jacob; the ferocity in

their eyes, the danger.

Sam turns; the others follow his lead. The three slink

soundlessly into the darkness of the woods...

SMASH TO:

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Two hikers, NATE and TIM, 20's, as they tromp through the

shadowy, mist-laden woods. Tim studies his IPhone GPS --

TIM:

We're going the wrong way.

NATE:

Who cares? Enjoy the scenery.

37.

TIM:

(slapping a mosquito)

And the West Nile virus.

Tim hears a RUSTLE. Stops.

TIM:

You hear that?

NATE:

If I knew you were such a wuss, I'd

have brought my grandma.

TIM:

Could be one of those giant bears.

NATE:

There are no giant --

RUSTLE. Nate stops. Then, from the opposite direction,

another RUSTLE. Then another, and another, from behind,

from in front. It's either more than one creature or it's

moving with extraordinary speed. The guys are terrified.

TIM:

What the hell is that?!

NATE:

I don't know!

The guys, faced away from one another, search the trees.

STAY ON TIM as suddenly, there's an eerie SILENCE. Beat.

TIM:

Think it's gone?

No answer. He turns to find that Nate has vanished.

TIM:

Nate? Nate!?

Nothing... then the RUSTLING starts again. And intensifies.

Tim BOLTS! CLOSE ON TIM - tearing through the woods, too

scared to feel the branches SMACK him in the face. Breath

ragged, he looks over his shoulder --

TIM'S POV - BEHIND HIM - something gives chase, flattening

foliage and bending thin trees in its path. Tim runs harder --

TIM'S POV - UP AHEAD THROUGH THE TREES - THE HIGHWAY

A couple cars pass. Civilization. Safety. Tim races for it --

38.

EXT. HIGHWAY (CONTINUOUS)

Tim bursts from the tree-line, he's almost to the pavement,

he`s going to escape --

BAM! Something YANKS him out of frame at an unnatural

angle. His SCREAM is abruptly choked off, leaving nothing

but a disturbing silence...
