Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #31

EDWARD:

(reading Aro's thoughts)

No!

ARO:

Let's see if she's immune to all our

powers, shall we Jane?

Jane turns toward Bella but Edward springs in front of her --

Jane instead focuses her gaze on Edward which FLINGS him

across the room where he collapses, writhing in agony. Jane

concentrates on him with a small smile, enjoying his pain.

BELLA:

Stop!

Bella and Alice rush to his side. As soon as Jane looks

away, Edward's pain ceases.

ARO:

Jane, dear. The girl?

Jane's gaze now turns toward Bella who cringes, awaiting the

pain... but nothing happens. Jane's grin is replaced by

anger. Aro laughs like a child with a new toy.

Jane, infuriated, moves toward Bella, but Aro stops her with

a tiny gesture.

ARO:

Remarkable! She confounds us all. So

what do we do with you now?

MARCUS:

(seemingly bored)

You already know what you'll do, Aro.

CAIUS:

She knows too much; she's a liability.

ARO:

That's true. Unless Edward intends to

give her immortality...

(looks at Edward)

But that's not your intention, is it.

Shame.

He nods to Felix who moves toward Bella, but he only takes a

step before Edward tackles him.

104.

BELLA:

Edward, don't!

Alice leaps to help but several Volturi guard hold her back,

which is no easy job. As she struggles mightily --

Edward is David to Felix's Goliath. Edward will lose, but

he'll go down fighting.

-- Edward is fast, anticipating Felix's moves before he

makes them, but Felix is stronger --

-- Felix grabs Edward, throws him into the ceiling, SMASHING

against the marble; he drops like a stone. Is then

immediately KICKED across the room.

BELLA:

(to Aro)

Stop this! Please!

But Aro ignores her, leans forward to study Edward. Jane is

itching to step in. Aro gestures her back.

-- Felix takes some hits, but then lifts Edward overhead,

CRACKING him like a nut, then flinging him against a wall --

Bella runs toward Aro but a Volturi Guard flings her away;

she flies HARD against the wall.

The guard is then occupied by the thrashing Alice --

Bella, bruised, but not broken, makes another attempt to get

to Aro -- finally reaches him, kneels in front of him --

BELLA:

Do it! Kill me! Just leave them

alone!

-- as she yanks her collar back, exposing her neck to him.

Aro is surprised and intrigued. A beat.

ARO:

Enough.

Felix immediately releases Edward who manages to look up.

He sees Bella kneeling in front of Aro.

EDWARD:

Get away from her -- !

Edward moves toward Aro but is quickly immediately pinned by

Jane's invisible powers; he writhes in agony. Alice can no

longer bear Edward's suffering --

105.

ALICE:

Edward, stop. I've already seen it.

EDWARD:

(through gritted teeth)

Alice, stay out of it.

ALICE:

I know what to do.

Aro, intrigued, gestures for Jane to stop; Edward goes limp.

ARO:

Ah yes, the clairvoyant. I saw your

gift in Edward's thoughts. What is it

you've seen?

EDWARD:

... don't...

ALICE:

I'm the one who will change Bella.

Bella is taken aback by this. Aro is surprised, as well.

ARO:

(beat, then gestures)

Please. Be my guest.

ALICE:

Not here. Her father is in law

enforcement. If she goes missing,

there will be questions.

CAIUS:

He is easily dealt with.

ALICE:

It will happen, Aro. See for

yourself.

She thrusts out her hand. Aro nods to the Guards who

release her. She gives him her hand. He closes his eyes --

SMASH TO:

EXT. FOREST - DAY (ALICE'S VISION)

Edward hunts a deer. Matching his pace is another vampire -

Bella! She's pale and beautiful - she and Edward smile at

each other as they take a last grand leap for the kill --

SMASH BACK TO:
