Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #21

EMBRY:

Come on in. We won't bite.

JARED:

Speak for yourself.

Bella warily climbs out of the car, joins them. Embry

pauses at the door --

EMBRY:

Oh, hey, about Emily - Sam's fiance -

just try not to stare. It bugs Sam.

BELLA:

Why would I stare? --

-- But the guys are already entering --

INT. EMILY'S HOUSE (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

Bella hesitantly enters behind Jared and Embry. She sees

EMILY, 20, at a counter, popping fresh muffins out of a tin.

SEE only one side of Emily's beautiful face, draped by long

black hair.

EMILY:

You guys hungry? Like I have to ask...

Emily looks toward them now -- REVEALING the other side of

her face:
A scar runs from hairline to chin, three red lines

that pull down her eye and twist her mouth.

EMILY:

Who's this?

As Jared and Embry beeline for the muffins --

JARED:

Bella Swan. Who else?

EMILY:

So you're the vampire girl.

69.

BELLA:

And you're a... you're all...

EMILY:

Werewolves? I'm just engaged to one.

But these animals --

(slaps Embry's hand)

Save some for your brothers.

Bella cautiously approaches the counter, keeping an eye on

the door for Jacob.

EMILY:

Leave it to Jacob to get around Sam's

gag order.

BELLA:

He didn't say anything, or...

couldn't.

EMBRY:

That's a wolf thing. Alpha's orders

get obeyed whether we want to or not --

JARED:

How `bout you shut up now, Embry?

EMBRY:

You know Jacob's gonna fill her in.

JARED:

Yeah, I know every stupid thought he

has.

(to Bella)

Wanna know what he thinks of you?

EMILY:

Like you need special powers to know

that.

EMBRY:

(to Bella)

It's another wolf thing. We hear each

other's thoughts. Good for hunting.

Embarrassing for everything else.

Jared leans to Bella, challenging.

JARED:

Freaking out yet?

70.

BELLA:

(meets his look)

You're not the first -- mind reader

I've met.

EMBRY:

(grins)

Jake's right. You are good with the

weird.

BELLA:

But I don't get -- how? Why? --

SAM (O.S.)

-- Because there are bad things here.

She spins - Sam is now standing behind her, the front door

open behind him.

SAM:

And they're getting worse.

Bella is chilled. Sam moves past her to Emily - the sight

of her instantly warms his face.

SAM:

Hey, Em.

He kisses Emily's scarred face adoringly. Bella has to look

away. Their utter devotion is a painful reminder of what

she has lost. Fortunately, she's distracted by --

Jacob and Paul's arrival. They laugh and jab one another.

Bella is relieved to find Jacob unscathed. Jared and Embry

crowd them, finding a scar on Paul's arm --

EMBRY:

Ha! Pay up.

As Jared reluctantly hands Embry five bucks, Jacob's eyes

find Bella's. He nods solemnly to the door; we should talk.

EXT. LA PUSH - CLIFFS - DAWN

The sun is just beginning to rise, reddening the clouds

overhead. Bella paces by the cliff's edge, trying to come

to grips with this new reality. Jacob keeps his distance,

trying to control his anger.

BELLA:

You just have to... stop.

71.

JACOB:

It's not a life-style choice. It's in

my DNA.

BELLA:

Killing is in your DNA?

JACOB:

Man, I thought maybe you wouldn't be

such a hypocrite -- what, I'm not the

right kind of monster for you? Can't

measure up to your bloodsucking

friends --
