BILLY:

(with compassion)

You should go on home, Bella.

And he closes the door. Off Bella --

INT. BELLA'S TRUCK - DAY

Bella climbs in, slams the door, pissed. Starts the truck.

Then turns it off. Deciding, she tosses the keys aside and

sinks down into her seat to wait...

BELLA'S POV - EXT. JACOB'S HOUSE - ON THE WINDOW - LATER

RAIN now pours down. Billy, inside, pulls the curtain back,

looks out at Bella with sympathy. Then closes the curtain.

INT. BELLA'S TRUCK - ON BELLA - SAME

Bella looks out the passenger window at Billy. Suddenly,

there's a KNOCK at the driver's window. She spins to find --

JACOB standing there. But his face is shockingly different.

His hair is cropped short. No friendly smile.

59.

No warmth in his eyes. Just a hard, brooding resentment.

Bella is taken aback. She climbs out of the truck to FIND --

EXT. JACOB'S HOUSE (CONTINUOUS) - DAY

-- behind Jacob stand Sam Uley, Jared, Paul and Embry.

They're oblivious to the rain, wear minimal clothes.

BELLA:

You cut your hair.

JACOB:

Go away.

Jacob turns away. Sam leads the group toward the house.

Jacob follows. She, and we, note his sure-footed strides;

his awkward growth spurt disappeared overnight. She grabs

his arm.

BELLA:

What happened to you?

He stops, turns back. The others wait on the porch for him.

They're out of earshot, but won't leave him alone with her.

BELLA:

(lowers her voice)

I can help.

His face is hard as he shakes his head. He's not talking.

BELLA:

Sam got to you. What did he do?

JACOB:

Sam's trying to help me, don't blame him.

BELLA:

Then who?

JACOB:

(bitterness seething)

How `bout those filthy, reeking

bloodsuckers you love? The Cullens.

BELLA:

(thrown)

I... don't know what you're --

JACOB:

You know exactly what I'm talking

about.

He's shaking, almost convulsing with anger. She regroups.

60.

BELLA:

The Cullens are long gone. How are

they to blame?

JACOB:

They started all this by existing.

Goddamn leeches --

SAM:

Jacob.

Jacob glances at Sam, who gives him a look. Jacob takes a

breath, trying to calm himself.

JACOB:

I can't be friends with you anymore.

BELLA:

Jake, I know I hurt you. I should

have been more up-front but -- I

needed you, I still do. I don't know

what that means yet, but if you give

me time --

JACOB:

Stop. Don't. It's not you --

BELLA:

-- "It's not you, it's me?" God.

JACOB:

It's true. I'm not... good.

BELLA:

You're wrong --

JACOB:

It doesn't matter. This is over --

BELLA:

I can't take losing my best friend, too.

JACOB:

You already have --

BELLA:

Don't say that -- you promised --

JACOB:

Go home, Bella. Don't come back.

He practically runs away, joining the gang who all disappear

inside. Off Bella, standing in the rain...

61.

INT. BELLA'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Bella enters, dripping wet, too listless to close the door.

Charlie's face falls when he sees the pain and lifelessness

returned to her. He grabs a blanket, wraps her in it.

CHARLIE:

Billy called, said you and Jacob had a

fight. But, hey, you guys will work

it out, I'm sure of it.

BELLA:

I'm... going to change.

Bella heads upstairs. Charlie sags, helpless. He moves to

the open door --

UNKNOWN POV - EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

-- It paces, watching Charlie slowly close the door...

SMASH TO:

INT. FOREST - NIGHT

Bella TEARS through the forest again, searching. She turns --

finds Edward, cold, distant. But his face begins to MORPH...

... and becomes Jacob's. She reaches for him but he BOLTS

backward, suddenly many yards away.

BELLA:

Why!?

He, too, retreats further, disappearing until Bella is alone.

BLACKNESS encroaches, the moonlight becoming a tiny

spotlight on her. She searches the dark - then SEES a pair

of EYES, female, blood-red - coming toward her; HEAR a loud

SCREECHING NOISE --

INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

-- Bella tosses herself awake, slowly realizing it was just

a dream. But she HEARS the SCREECHING noise again!

Fingernails on her window. Bella bolts upright, looks

around for a weapon --

JACOB (O.S.)

(whisper shouting)

Bella! Ouch - damn it; open the window.

Bella cautiously moves to her window to find --
