My Twilight Journal: The Hunt Part 1

Last week on my Twilight journal I left off with the baseball game. If you missed it go back and see what I have written!

At the end of the baseball game Alice sees more vampires coming.

I have to say I really love the relationship between Alice and Edward. Since she can see things and he can read minds they understand and protect each other well. So when Alice suddenly has a vision Edward know from reading Alice’s thought before anyone else knows.

When Laurent, Victoria and James show up everything becomes so intense and continues this way for me. There are just a few things I want to point out. First of all the way that each one of the Cullen’s (with the exception of Rosalie) rallies around to protect Bella. She becomes the most important thing to them!

Is Bella worth it?

The other thing that really jumped out at me happened when everyone was leaving the Cullen’s house to play their part of the plan to save Bella. Edward embraced and kissed Bella in front of everyone then was gone. Then everyone was gone and Jasper knowing Bella is feeling tells her she is wrong, that she is worth-it! Okay who doesn’t want to know they are worth being saved! As I thought about this I realized how often we are shown by the action of others that we are “worth it” but we don’t even get it! The difference is when someone says it, you realize you do have worth! At the same time here Bella is thinking very much like a human and worrying about everyone else getting hurt because of her. I couldn’t imagine the guilt I would feel if someone got hurt because they were saving me!

When Alice, Jasper and Bella are in the hotel in Phoenix, time seems to blend together. I wish the author Stephenie Meyer would have gone into a little bit more detail about what happened between Carlisle, Emmett, Edward and James. How did he escape? Why is it that James stayed back far enough that Edward couldn’t read his mind? Did James know Edward could read minds? How did James know they went to Phoenix? How did he know where Bella’s mom lived? So many questions!

One of my favorite things in this section of the book is when Bella was talking to Alice and Jasper in the hotel after she woke up. Bella was so concerned that one of the Cullen’s would be hurt especially Edward. Jasper tells her she is worrying about the wrong things and that they would not get hurt. Then Alice stops Bella and says “It’s been almost a century that Edward’s been alone. Now he’s found you. You can’t see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?” What do I have to say about that? Wow! What love the Cullen’s have for Edward and all they want for him to be happy and they see how happy he is with Bella. Because of that they will do everything in there power to save her for Edward.

Then when Edward calls and talks to Bella. The words they exchange were heart warming and heart wrenching at the same time! He is coming Bella!!

Check out my next Twilight journal next week!
