ERIC:

(sotto)

Ang, maybe you should keep that to

yourself --

ANGELA:

We saw something, Eric.

ERIC:

I believe you.

JESSICA:

No he doesn't. He's just trying to

get lucky.

ERIC:

(suddenly hopeful)

Is that an option?

ANGELA:

(ignoring him)

It was jet black and huge; on all

fours it was still taller than a

person. A bear maybe.

46.

JESSICA:

Or Big Foot.

MIKE:

Or an alien. Lucky you didn't get

probed.

ANGELA:

(quietly)

... We saw it.

She's serious. And a little scared. Bella see that.

BELLA:

You're not the only one.

Everyone stares. Did Bella just speak?

BELLA:

My dad's been getting reports at the

sheriff's station. A couple hikers

went missing. People are scared.

Now everyone's chilled.

MIKE:

I did hear some guy talking about it

at the store.

ERIC:

Last time you clowns doubt my

girlfriend.

As they continue, Angela mouths "thanks" to Bella. They

share a smile and join in, Bella becoming part of the group.

CUT TO:

ECU ON JACOB AND BELLA'S FACES

-- just inches apart.

JACOB:

You look scared.

BELLA:

I'm not.

She's lying. PULL BACK to see she's straddling the now

completed motorcycle. Jacob stands next to her, holding the

bike up. There's an intimacy to their proximity. INCLUDE --

47.

EXT. LA PUSH - CLEARING IN THE FOREST (CONTINUOUS) - DAY

The bike is aimed down a dirt road. Jacob runs through the

instructions:

JACOB:

Brake?

(she taps it)

Clutch?

(she squeezes it)

Right. Gas?

(she grips it)

You ready?

Bella nods. Jacob grins... then KICK-STARTS the bike.

JACOB:

Slowly... release the clutch.

She does... the bike moves forward an inch -- Jacob

cautiously steps back. She moves forward another inch --

EDWARD (O.S.)

Stop.

Bella turns to find the apparition of EDWARD standing next

to her. Her hand slips off the clutch, the bike BUCKS and

falls on top of her. Jacob quickly lifts it off her as the

apparition of Edward disappears.

JACOB:

You okay? Bruises, breaks -- ?

BELLA:

I'm going again.

JACOB:

I'm not sure that's a good --

Bella quickly rises and hops back on.

JACOB:

Guess we're going again. Now what are

you going to do with the clutch?

BELLA:

Release it. Slowly.

Jacob nods. Then kick-starts the bike again. She releases

the clutch and moves forward. Slowly at first -- EDWARD

reappears at her side, glowering.

48.

She keeps going, a little faster. EDWARD appears on her left

now; she passes him. He reappears ahead; she passes.

ON BELLA'S FACE as the wind flings her hair back. She

gathers speed... and for a moment, experiences pure freedom,

exhilaration... then she sees Edward standing at the curve

in the road ahead, and realizes --

BELLA:

(yelling to Jacob)

I don't -- how do I turn!?

JACOB:

Bank it! Bank - hit the brake!

Jacob races toward her. She reaches the turn, doesn't bank,

goes straight... and flies right into a wall of trees.

As she lies on the ground dazed, Jacob hurries up.

JACOB:

What, are you training for the X-games?

She looks around for Edward. He's gone.

BELLA:

I want to go again.

JACOB:

Forget it. I'm revoking your

motorcycle privileges. Man, look at

your head.

Indeed, blood drips down her forehead. He pulls off his

shirt to mop it up. She shrinks away --

BELLA:

God, I'm sorry.

JACOB:

You're apologizing for bleeding?

BELLA:

It doesn't... bother you?

JACOB:

It's just blood, Bella.

He bends over her, carefully tending her head. She finds

herself looking at him. His dark eyes, his bare chest and

smooth skin. He glances at her.
