You should ask him.

Take control.

You’re a strong, independent woman.

I am?

Yes.

Hey, will you do me up?

Yeah.

Bella.

Hi, Jacob.

Guys, this is Jacob.

Hey, guys.

How you doing?

Hi.

Hi.

What are you, like, stalking me?

You’re on my rez, remember?

Are you surfing?

Definitely not.

Thanks.

You guys should keep Bella company.

Her date bailed.

What date?

She invited Edward.

To be polite, that’s it.

I think it’s nice she invited him.

Nobody ever does.

Yeah, ‘cause Cullen’s a freak.

You got that right.

You guys know him?

The Cullens don’t come here.

What did your friends mean about, you know, ‘The Cullens don’t come here?’

You caught that, huh?

I’m not really supposed to say anything about it.

Hey, I can keep a secret.

Really, it’s just like an old scary story.

Well, I want to know.

Okay, did you know Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?

What?

Like, wolves?

Yeah.

Like, real wolves?

Well, that’s the legend of our tribe.

Okay.

So what’s the story about the Cullens?

Well, they’re supposedly descended from this, like, enemy clan.

My great grandfather, the chief, found them hunting on our land.

But they claimed to be something different,

so we made a treaty with them.

If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, then we wouldn’t expose what they really were to the palefaces.

I thought they just moved here.

Or just moved back.

Right.

It touched my hand.

A snake.

Stop.

Well, what are they really?

It’s just a story, Bella.

Come on, let’s go.

A snake.

A snake.

My mama said I didn’t know how to make a kitty meow.

Hello?

Gerald?

Gerald?

Hello.

Nice jacket.

Who are you?

It’s always the same inane questions.

‘Who are you?

’

‘What do you want?’

‘Why are you doing this?’

James, let’s not play with our food.

He’s not here.

Whenever the weather’s nice, the Cullens disappear.

What, do they just ditch?

No, Dr. and Mrs. Cullen yank them out for, like, hiking and camping and stuff.

I tried that out on my parents.

Not even close.

Guys, I’m going to the prom with Eric.

I just asked him I took control.

I told you that would happen.

Are you sure you have to go out of town?

Oh, yeah, it’s a little family thing.

Okay, we should go shopping in Port Angeles before all the good dresses get cleaned out.

Port Angeles?

You mind if I come?

Yeah, I need your opinion.

I like this one.

That’s cool.

But, like, I don’t know about the one-shoulder thing.

I like this one.

Yeah, I like the beading, and you wouldn’t need jewelry.

Jess, what do you think?

Lavender?

There you go.

Have a good night.

Thank you.

Saw you in the dress store.

Hey, where you running to?

There she is.

What’s up?

It’s my girl.

How you guys doing?

Look who we just found.

What’s up, girl?

Hey.

Where you going?

Where are you going?

Come get a drink with us.

Yeah, you should hang out with us.

Come on.

It’s fun.

What’s the problem?

She doesn’t like that, man.

You’re pretty.

Don’t touch me.

Cute.

Really, no.

Seriously, you should.

Don’t touch me.

Get in the car.

That was a very dangerous maneuver.

I should go back there and rip those guys’ heads off.

No, you shouldn’t.

You don’t know the vile, repulsive things they were thinking.

And you do?

It’s not hard to guess.

Can you talk about something else?

Distract me so I won’t turn around.

You should put your seatbelt on.

You should put your seatbelt on.

I thought the salad was pretty good.

Hey, you guys, I’m sorry.

I just.

Where were you?

We left you messages.

Yeah, we waited, but we were, like, starving, so we.

I’m sorry I kept Bella from dinner.

We just sort of ran into each other and got talking.

Yeah.

No.

No, we totally understand.

I mean, that happens, right?

Yeah, we were.

We were, yeah, we were just leaving.

So.

Let’s get this.

Bella, if you wanna.

I think I should make sure Bella gets something to eat.

If you’d like.

I’ll drive you home myself.

That’s so thoughtful.

It’s really thoughtful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I should eat something.

Yeah.

Okay, so we’ll see you tomorrow.

Okay, yeah.

See ya.

Okay.

All right, one mushroom ravioli.

Thanks.

Yeah, no problem.

So are you sure there isn’t anything I can get for you?

No.

No, thank you.

Let me know.

You’re really not gonna eat?

No, I’m on a special diet.

You gotta give me some answers.

Yes, no.

To get to the other side.

1.

77245.

I don’t want to know what the square root of pi is.

You knew that?

How did you know where I was?

I didn’t.

All right.

What?

Don’t leave.

I.

Did you follow me?

I.

I feel very protective of you.

So you followed me.

I was trying to keep a distance unless you needed my help, and then I heard what those low-lifes were thinking.

Wait.

You say you heard what they were thinking?

So what, you.

You read minds?

I can read every mind in this room.

Apart from yours.

There’s money, sex, money, sex, cat.

And then you, nothing.

It’s very frustrating.

Is there something wrong with me?

See, I tell you I can read minds, and you think there’s something wrong with you.

What is it?

I don’t have the strength to stay away from you anymore.

Then don’t.

Okay, I think I’m warm enough now.

Your hand is so cold.

Whoa.

What is going on?

My dad’s still here.

Can you pull in?

That’s my father’s car on the end.

What is he doing here?

Carlisle, what’s going on?

Waylon Forge was found in a boat out near his place.

I just examined the body.

He died?

How?

Animal attack.

Was it the same one that got that security guard down in Mason?

Most likely.

Well, it’s getting closer to town, then.

Bella, you should go inside.

Waylon was your father’s friend.

Okay.

I’ll see you later.

Hey.

Hey.

Dad, I’m really sorry.

I’ve known him going on 30 years.

Don’t worry, we’re gonna find this thing.

Meantime.

I want you to carry this with you.

I don’t know if you.

It’ll give your old man some peace of mind.

Okay.

Let’s go home.

Cold One.
