Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #23

DENISE:

Michael? Oh my God --

VICTORIA:

We never could get enough of each

other...

(seething)

We would have had forever to try.

Denise, scared, shakes Michael's arm --

DENISE:

Michael?!

-- which causes Michael's head to roll to the side,

revealing his gouged, blood-soaked neck and his vacant, dead

eyes. Denise starts SCREAMING. Victoria grins.

VICTORIA:

James always loved a screamer.

Victoria's hand jets out, grabbing a fistful of Denise's

hair. She yanks Denise over, exposing her neck just as we --

SMASH TO:

75.

EXT. EMILY'S BACKYARD - DAY

ON JARED --

JARED:

Excellent. If the redhead's after

Bella, we've got bait.

With stunning speed, Jacob grabs a four-pronged spading fork

from some garden tools, and FLINGS it toward Jared's head -

Jared easily, and amazingly, catches it.

JACOB:

She is not bait.

INCLUDE - A picnic table in the middle of this small,

quaintly landscaped garden. Jacob, Bella, Embry, Paul, Sam,

Jared and Emily are in the midst of a huge breakfast.

BELLA:

I should leave town.

SAM:

Victoria will follow you and make it

harder for us to catch her.

BELLA:

No one can catch her. She can escape

anything.

PAUL:

Ooh. She has special powers.

BELLA:

Some of them do.

They all look at her. She instantly regrets saying it.

JACOB:

Like... what? Bella?

JARED:

The mind reader you said you knew. He

was a suckhead? Can they all do that?

EMBRY:

That would blow.

BELLA:

No, I -- shouldn't have - no.

PAUL:

She's still protecting them.

76.

JARED:

I don't know why. It's not like they

stuck around to protect you --

JACOB:

Guys, back off.

Jacob looks apologetically at Bella. She shrinks, stung.

EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Jacob walks her to the door.

JACOB:

Don't worry, we've got this place

covered. She won't get near you or

Charlie.

Bella nods. He sees she's blue.

JACOB:

Hey, we should do something fun.

Like... cliff diving, right?

BELLA:

I could use the rush.

JACOB:

Soon. After we catch her.

He offers a reassuring look before jogging into the woods.

EXT. CULLEN HOUSE - NIGHT

Bella tentatively approaches the large, modern glass home.

She climbs the porch steps, approaches the door...

INT. CULLEN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

Bella enters to find it perfectly intact, lived-in, warm,

candles glowing... and the Cullen family enjoying the

evening - Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper.

Bella is overwhelmed with joy at seeing them.

BELLA:

You're here.

But they ignore her. Won't even look at her. She starts

toward them but suddenly --

Edward appears and YANKS Bella away, pulling her to the door

and pushing her out, slamming it on her --

77.

EXT. CULLEN HOUSE - (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

-- Bella runs to the window, peers in at the family who

continue to ignore her as they gather around Edward --

INT. BELLA'S ROOM - MORNING

Bella awakens, tears on her face. She can't take it. Gets

the hell out of bed, anxious to leave the dream behind. But

it stays with her...

EXT. EMILY'S HOUSE - DAY

Bella knocks on the door, rain falling around her, wind

blowing strong. Emily opens the door. Sees her.

EMILY:

Bella. Are you okay?

BELLA:

Yeah, I just... is Jacob here? He

wasn't at home...

Sam appears behind Emily.

SAM:

He's with Jared and Embry, keeping an

eye on things. I'm heading out soon.

Should I tell him something?
