Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #8

---

ECU ON HER FACE - numb. HEAR the faint sound of her name

being called in the distance. A search party. She's too

wrecked to respond.

Rain begins to pour; she doesn't register it....

24.

SERIES OF SCENES END ON -- BELLA, lying there, dazed. She

begins to HEAR an animal SNUFFLING. It gets closer. It

sounds large. Scary. Then she hears a whisper --

EDWARD (O.S.)

Move, Bella.

She lifts her head, looks for Edward... but SEES something

else instead --

BELLA'S POV - A DARK SHAPE, huge, black. Nearing. Its EYES

reflect light for a split second; they're inhuman, savage.

Bella, terrified, manages to DRAG herself to a cluster of

trees. She squeezes between them. Breathing hard. She

closes her eyes, trying to disappear...

INT. WOODS - LATER NIGHT

Bella's eyes open to find herself FLOATING several feet

above the ground. Trees pass by. She's being carried...

EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Half the town is gathered - a tired rescue party that

includes Mike Newton and Jacob Black.

Charlie, beside himself with worry, pores over a map with

BILLY BLACK (in wheelchair) and Quileute HARRY CLEARWATER,

46, (dark braids, stout, protruding belly, kind face).

CHARLIE:

I'll call the Cullens again. Her note

said she and Edward went for a walk.

BILLY:

They left town, Charlie.

HARRY CLEARWATER

Hospital said Doc Cullen got a big job

somewhere else.

Harry puts a reassuring hand on Charlie's shoulder.

HARRY CLEARWATER

We'll find her, Charlie.

Charlie is glad for the comfort of his two friends.

JACOB:

Charlie!

Charlie spins to where Jacob points --

25.

THEIR POV - THE EDGE OF THE WOODS

SAM ULEY, 20, emerges, a tall, strong Quileute Indian with

cropped hair and a fierce expression. He's carrying Bella.

BILLY:

It's Sam Uley. He found her.

Charlie bolts to her; he's never moved faster in his life.

He wraps his arms around Bella, lifting her from Sam's arms.

CHARLIE:

Thank you, Sam. Thank God.

Charlie carries Bella to the house, cradling her. Harry and

Billy give Sam a nod of praise and gratitude. But Sam backs

away, avoiding any accolades.

ON JACOB - jogging alongside Charlie, peering at Bella with

worry. Then Jacob slows, feeling eyes on his back... he

turns to SEE Sam Uley staring at him. Jacob, uncomfortable,

quickly looks away.

ON CHARLIE CARRYING BELLA up the stairs to the house --

CHARLIE:

What were you thinking, Baby? Why

were you out there?

BELLA:

He's... gone.

Off her as Charlie carries her inside --

INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

OVERHEAD SHOT OF THE BED - Charlie lays Bella down and wraps

her in blankets...

A SERIES OF DISSOLVES ON BELLA

She's curled in a fetal position in the middle of the bed.

Then at its foot. Under the blankets. On top of them. In

various different arrangements. Meanwhile...

A BLACK LIQUID begins to flood the floor, slowly swallowing

everything in the room. It rises up the sides of the bed,

higher and higher until it breaches the top of the bed and

begins to engulf Bella. Off her, submerged in blackness...

26.

EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE - DAY - A MONTH LATER

The leaves have turned red and orange. SEE a FIGURE in the

upstairs window --

INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM - DAY

Bella sits in a rocking chair by the window. Her face

blank. Empty. STAY ON BELLA, unchanging - but THROUGH THE

WINDOW OUTSIDE, we SEE TIME LAPSING behind her --

OCTOBER -- Costumed kids appear in the yard, trick-or-

treating. DISSOLVE INTO...

NOVEMBER -- NEIGHBORS (BOB MARKS and his WIFE) bring Charlie

a turkey... they glance up at Bella's window with concern...

WINTER BEGINS -- the trees' branches are now bare...

DECEMBER -- Charlie drags a Christmas tree toward the house...

worry has taken its toll on him. But Bella remains

unchanged...

BELLA (V.O.)

Dear Mom... I'm...

(beat)

... lost...

PAN the now blank walls of the exceedingly neat room; gone

are all traces of Edward...

BELLA (V.O.)

Edward took everything with him.

Including my life. He promised it

would be like he never existed...

... LAND ON the scrapbook which lies open; the photo of

Bella and Edward's embrace at the birthday party - gone.

INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM - ANOTHER DAY

BELLA AT HER COMPUTER, typing an e-mail to Renee.

BELLA (V.O.)

... But I need to know he did.

A SERIES OF TABLEAUS, DISSOLVING INTO ONE ANOTHER:

-- INT. BELLA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Bella sits on the couch, blank, as the rain pounds. Charlie

watches her, concerned.

27.

BELLA (V.O.)

It's like a huge hole has been punched

through my chest...

-- INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

In the darkness, Bella is curled up in a ball on her floor.

BELLA (V.O.)

But the pain is my only reminder that

he was real... that they all were...

-- INT. FORKS HIGH SCHOOL - CAFETERIA - DAY

Lunch. Bella sits alone, staring straight ahead. SEE

Jessica, Eric, Angela and Mike, watching her with concern.

Talking about her. She doesn't notice.

BELLA (V.O.)

I miss them. Especially Alice...

EXT. TANYA'S ALASKAN HOME - DAY

A one-story contemporary home, surrounded by snowy, barren

land and woods. Through a LARGE PICTURE WINDOW we SEE Alice

and Carlisle, arguing inside --
