Chapters 16-18: Things Are Looking Increasingly Sparkly

Right then, toasties. On with the awful.

Bella gets saved in the nick of time by Jacob, but she's disappointed to find that he isn't Edward. He takes her back to the house to recuperate, where she falls asleep on the couch and dreams of Romeo and Juliet, and Paris, that guy no one cared about in Romeo and Juliet. This gets her contemplating giving up on her bedazzled dreamboat and just settling for Jacob. When Jake drives her home, they have a brief, awkward moment in the car before he smells vampire, and Bella notices the Mr. Dr. Cullen-mobile in front of her house. She argues with him and assures him it's okay, but he just angrily tells her not to get killed and runs off into the forest.

Bella opens the door to find Alice, who came to find her after having a vision of the cliff-diving incident. She's surprised--and slightly annoyed--but relieved to find Bella alive. Bella quickly fills her in about the Victoria problem and how Jake's a werewolf, then after getting her sufficiently concerned, she begs Alice to stay and hyperventilates until she agrees.

The next day, Alice has to 'step out for a moment' when Jacob comes over to grill Bella about whether the Cullens are coming back. He calms down and almost kisses Bella, but they're interrupted by the phone ringing. Alice then comes in looking distraught and says 'Edward', causing Bella to faint. Once she's revived, it's disclosed that Edward thinks she's dead, and is now going to Italy to get himself killed by the Volturi, those afore-mentioned royal-ish vamps. Despite Jacob's protests, Alice and Bella run off on a rescue mission.


MATTERS OF PROBABLE IMPORTANCE:
Hmm... nope, that's about it.


BELLA'S TEAM: Team Save the Edward.

OUR TEAM: Team Violent, Drunken Football Hooligans. Alice and Bella are going to have to travel across Europe, and I'm willing to bet they don't know what the Manchester United song is...
