Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #20

---

He looks at her with a wry smile. Then pulls her into a

hug. Her cheek against his bare chest. She takes in the

closeness... then he soundlessly heads out her door. A beat

-- Bella starts pulling on clothes.

INT. BELLA'S TRUCK - NIGHT

Bella drives through the darkness.

65.

BELLA (V.O.)

If I was going to lose someone else, I

needed to know why.

She pulls off the road, and drives into the forest.

EXT. LA PUSH - CLEARING IN THE FOREST - NIGHT

Bella parks. Climbs out of her truck. The moon eerily

illuminates the clearing. Forest NOISES encroach.

She hears a RUSTLE amid the trees. Spooked, she freezes --

then SEES JACOB emerge from the trees. A moment as their

eyes meet. Then --

Sam Uley, Paul, Embry and Jared step into the clearing, as

well, half-clothed, movements almost synchronized. Their

expressions simultaneously alter into fury when they see

Bella. Paul spins on Jacob.

PAUL:

What the hell have you done?!

JACOB:

I didn't tell her. You'd know if I

did.

PAUL:

She's here, isn't she?

SAM:

Bella, there's nothing to see here.

You should go home.

BELLA:

Not until I know what you did to Jacob.

PAUL:

(advancing on Bella)

What we did?!

Jacob moves in front of Bella protectively, facing Paul.

SAM:

Both of you, calm down --

JACOB:

Sam, she knows things about the

bloodsuckers. She's been on the

inside. She can help --

PAUL:

Like a leech lover's gonna help us.

66.

JACOB:

Watch what you call her.

EMBRY:

Get a grip, guys --

But Paul and Jacob are so angry, their bodies begin to

shake, nearly convulse. It unnerves Bella --

BELLA:

It's alright, Jacob, I'll go --

Paul and Jacob are beyond hearing.

PAUL:

All you care about is her --

SAM:

(commanding)

Paul, back off.

PAUL:

-- and she doesn't give a crap about

you --

Jacob flashes anger, PUSHES Paul, hard. Paul FLIES backward.

SAM:

Jacob.

Paul rises, outraged, throws his head back in a growl,

vibrating violently --

JARED:

Too late.

SAM:

Bella, get back!

Paul FALLS FORWARD but halfway to the ground there's a loud

RIPPING noise and Paul explodes in silver-gray fur, becoming

a massive wolf crouched and ready to spring!

Bella, horrified, grabs Jacob's arm, pulling him --

BELLA:

Run, Jacob! --

But he yanks away from her, runs directly at the Paul-wolf --

BELLA:

Jake, no! Stop -- !

67.

Jacob DIVES headfirst into the air - with another sharp

TEARING sound, shreds of cloth blast into the air, fur

BURSTS from Jacob's skin - he lands on the ground a gigantic

russet-brown wolf, charging the Paul-wolf.

Bella reels as the two wolves CRASH into each other,

snarling and RAMMING one another. The sound is DEAFENING.

Their teeth flash at each other's throats.

Bella stumbles backward as the fight carries the two wolves

beyond the clearing and into the woods --

CAMERA FOLLOWS THEM, as they fight deeper and deeper into

the darkness... until they disappear. The horrible SOUNDS

of the fight still ECHO --

BACK IN THE CLEARING -- Sam starts after them, kicking off

his shoes.

SAM:

Take Bella to Emily's place.

Sam disappears leaving an eerie quiet. A long silence...

EMBRY:

Guess the wolf's out of the bag.

Off Bella, stunned.

EXT. LA PUSH - EMILY'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Bella's truck, driven by Embry, pulls up to a tiny,

weathered house with a window box full of marigolds. Jared,

in the back, jumps out, opens Bella's door. He and Embry

head toward the house. She doesn't move.

EMBRY:

(to Jared)

Pay up. She didn't puke.

Jared, annoyed, hands Embry five bucks.

EMBRY:

Told you she was tough. She does run

with bloodsuckers.

BELLA:

Wait. We should go back, make sure

Jacob's okay.

JARED:

I hope Paul gets some teeth in him.

Serve him right.

68.

EMBRY:

No way. Jake's a natural. You see

him phase on the fly? I gotta fiver

says Paul doesn't touch him.

JARED:

Easy money. Paul's been at it longer.

Bella looks at them, appalled. They realize she's not

following them.
