in New Moon Re-Read Countdown

chapter8[1]

We are on chapter 8 of our countdown that means 17 more days until the release of New Moon.  Join us by reading a chapter a day together.  So in order to help pass the time while we wait for New Moon to be released, I will continue to post a thread everyday for each chapter in the book, counting down the days until the official release of the film on November 20th.

Chapter 8: Adrenaline

“The motorcycle was better than I’d dreamed.  It had served it’s purpose.  I’d cheated-broken my promise.  I’d been needlessly reckless.  I felt a little less pathetic now that the promises had been broken on both sides.”

Ahhh the bike chapter! I love how much detail Stephenie Meyer has given us, when it comes to breaks, the clutch & throttle of the bikes, not to mention the very detailed account of Bella’s emotions as she prepares for her first official ride.

Here are some of my favorite highlights from this chapter:

  • Jacob shirtless in Bella’s truck on the way to the ER, ok ok there you guys happy now? I admit it, I would like to see this part in the movie(shh don’t tell Edward!) :)
  • Quote from pg. 192 “Jacob really did look older than sixteen-not quite forty, but maybe older than me.  Quil didn’t have too much on him in the muscles department, for all that Jacob claimed to be a skeleton.  The muscles were the long wiry kind, but they were definitely there under the smooth skin.  His skin was  such a pretty  color, it made me jealous.  Jacob notice my scrutiny. “What?” He asked, suddenly self-conscious.“Nothing. I just hadn’t realized before.  Did you know, you’re sort of beautiful?”  Once the words slipped out, I worried that he might take my impulsive observation the wrong way.  But Jacob rolled his eyes.  “You hit your head pretty hard, didn’t you.”  “I’m serious.”   “Well, then, thanks.  Sort of.”  I grinned.  “Your sort of welcome.”     What in the world? Who taught Bella how to flirt? lol
  • Jacob & Bella go on their hiking trip to find “The Meadow”, I personally thought they were going to be attacked by some ravenous newborns, or bears & then Jacob would turn in to this giant mutant and slaughter them all! But we all know that wasn’t the case.

Not too much going on in this chapter, but that’s alright folks the best is yet to come! We all know its worth our while, teehee.

    It occurs to me this is like a preview for Breaking Dawn. Vamp Bella at her best, right? Because these are definitely pictures of Bella and Edward.
  • TeamEdwardFTW
    That is exactly what I thought. Everyone said these were gonna be pics of R/K not B/E, but I totally get the B/E vibe. ...maybe because Kristen isn't in her natural hair?
  • breesmom
    I do love them Rob/Kristen and Edward/Bella. I really don't care, but...

    Kristen's make-up is beautiful, she looks very old-Hollywood and Rob is clean-shaven, as he always is for Edward so I guess that's why it was my first thought.

    They look really good regardless. Great pictures. I love them all. Rather Rob and Kristen hooked up or not they do have amazing chemistry in front of any camera.
  • TeamEdwardFTW
    Agreed!
  • breesmom
    Indeed!

    If these are the outtakes I can't wait for the actual pictures and magazine!

    A few things caught my attention. The number of little things SM throws in to remind us just how much Bella is still broken. Truly, when you look at it closely, Jacob never really had a chance. Everything surrounding Bella reminds her of Edward – even things that Jacob does. His comment that bears might make an exception because she looks like she'd be tasty… her riding on the motorbike and remembering Edward running her through the forest… Jacob being able to hold her hand when she gets stitches… and of course, the hallucinations.

    How could Jake possibly compete with all of that?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he’s not a nice guy, and that he doesn’t deserve happiness – it’s just that, re-reading it this time more slowly, I see just what he was up against in trying to win Bella’s heart – and it’s a lot.

    Things I love in this chapter: The description of Bella`s hallucination - the clarity of Edward's voice. Jacob taking care of her when she wipes the first time. The whole “you’re sort of beautiful” conversation is funny, as are a few other parts...
  • lozzaaacullen
    Exactly, right. It's like, Jake is brilliant and they would have been brilliant together. Only if Edward didn't already have Bella's heart. But he does.

    Edward... :D x
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    Yeah... it brings up that whole attempt to erase himself from her life. He CAN'T. And he just didn't get that...
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    Hey Snowy! I like your new avi. :)
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    why thank you! It's Rob snuggling... you just can't see me in it... ;)
  • Wolfi ♥(TEAM BAD@SS LEAH)♥ ♥
    haha..LOve your avi !!..Rob on his knees..now that is a beautiful site to see!!
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    I love these new pictures!!!! I can't decide which one is my favorite!! I can't wait to get the magazine. It's going up on my wall.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    *gasp* I didn't see your avi before... STUNNING!!! :D
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    We are so spoiled now. I can't get enough.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    I am SO going to be in withdrawal once the movie comes out and the press junket is over... *sniff* :(
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    Aww no way! We still have Eclipse coming up. We won't have to worry about a drought.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    there'll be a few months... they will be sad, lonely months... although, Rob will be doing promo work for Remember Me, right? ;)
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    See, we won't suffer from Robward withdrawals then. It's the cold months after RM till June that we should worry about.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    *sigh* ewww...

    BUT... we should have a New Moon DVD... HOPEFULLY with commentary, yes? :D
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    Commentary from Rob, Kristen and CW would be nice. Plus a gag reel and many, many deleted scenes.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    oh yes... and any and all of the retakes and retakes of attempted kisses.... ;)
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    I want to see extended scenes from the Italy reunion.

    ooooh... good one!

    i sooooo agree!
    jacob is awesome... but he never had a chance
    TEAM EDWARD!
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    I still love Jake, don't get me wrong... I'm Team Edward, but it's not Jake's fault he fell for Bella.
  • yasmin1028
    Finally someone who shares my views. I completely 100% agree with you about this. Try as he did, jacob never had a chance against Edward. I just dont like the way Bella lead him on. I'm not a fan of jacob personally I'M TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY !!!!!.He is nice and deserves to be happy as you stated but, he just kept at it, even though he knew he didnt imprint on her, so I dont know why he kept trying. I also didnt like the way he acted towards Edward, when Edward was always overly nice to him.
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    I didn't bring up Jacob's persistence in later chapters, because I'm trying to keep it to each individual chapter, or I'd write novels. :D
    I have to disagree with you on one thing, however, Edward, was NOT always overly nice to him. I don't think that is fair to say in the least. Jacob was fighting for what he loved, and I can't hold that against him. I don't necessarily appreciate all of the tactics he may have used, but Edward was right in it with him when it came to that. I'm Team Edward, but I can be fair - the two of them together had NO love lost between them. A begrudging respect for things done, yes. A recognition of Bella's feelings for both of them, and an attempt to be civil? Yes. Overly polite? HALE no!
    Anyway, just my humble opinion. ;)
  • yasmin1028
    As you stated that is your opinion, of which you're entitled too. It is understood that we are talking about these chapters by themselves, but I'm expressing my opinion. I can be fair as well, but as stated before I don't really care for jacob. Yes there wouldnt be a saga without him, which is plainly obvious and understood. And yes they were fighting for what they both loved and wanted, despite whatever tactics either used.

    I will humbly, disagree with you, beacuse these are my feeling for the characters. For a second I thought we might have had similar views, evidently not :)
  • ancha85
    Totally agree with you. Edward KNEW Jacob was listening when he was talking to Bella in the tent about their engagement. He PURPOSELY went out of his way to make comments about that, so that Jake would hear.

    So you're right. Edward was just as good as Jacob about not "fighting fair".
    (Silly boys, have to make everything a competition!)

    Sure, some of Jacob's tactics were the tactics of a teenage boy (after all, he is one!), but Edward does the same thing at times, and he is 107 y.o.!

    But in the end, it was for the best.
    Bella was ab

    Stupid disqus messed the last post up. Here it goes again.

    Totally agree with you. Edward KNEW Jacob was listening when he was talking to Bella in the tent about their engagement. He PURPOSELY went out of his way to make comments about that, so that Jake would hear.

    So you're right. Edward was just as good as Jacob about not "fighting fair". (Silly boys, have to make everything a competition!)

    Sure, some of Jacob's tactics were the tactics of a teenage boy (after all, he is one!), but Edward does the same thing at times, and he is 107 y.o.!

    But what Edward caused by Jacob hearing lead to everything being eventually worked out for all of them.

    Bella was able to honestly know her own feelings and make her decision, without being in denial about loving Jacob, too.

    Edward and Bella were able to start their engagement and their marriage without Bella not being honest with herself about her feelings for Jacob.

    Jacob was able to have some closure regarding his relationship with Bella. (though she did continue to draw him back in, but it was really Nessie).

    And finally, they all three got their happiness,
    That is the only reason I am able to stand Jacob's or Bella's or Edward's heartache. It hurts me so much to see any of them suffer, but especially Jacob, because he has to suffer so long without seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.

    I can stand it, though, knowing that it all works out in the end.
    Some people hate the Nessie/Jacob thing, but I couldn't have stood it for him to never find his happiness, too. I also couldn't stand it if he and Bella were truly lost to each other.

    Now about THIS chapter...
    It is so sad that Bella is soo desperate to hear Edward that she is willing to risk hurting herself.
    I do love that she is starting to see how beautiful Jake really is, though. She is starting to see him as more as her "younger friend", and he is so good to her.
    But like he says, he can't compete with the Eclipse that is Edward. Bella and Edward are MORE than soulmates. They are each other's addiciton. One can't live without the other.
  • I totally agree! Team Switz here.

    I love Edward and I don't think that the story would have been properly told if she didn't end up with him, but Come On People! Jacob, no matter what she was going though was always there for her. Give credit where credit is due! He, I believe, has to suffer so much, and yet, because her wants Bella to be safe and happy he is always there.

    With that said I conclude that it was not Jacob's fault he fell in love with her, she came to Him when she needed someone, and he was there. He didn't know that Edward would be back. And he was totally justified in playing his stupid kiddie games with Edward because he had to watch her suffer in his absence, and it took HIM all that time to repair her. However, Bella's heart belongs to Edward and Edward also was justified in letting him know that's the way it was.
  • ancha85
    Like minds think alike! lol...
    I totally do NOT understand how people can expect a 16 y.o. boy to just drop his feelings for a girl, just because the "old boyfriend" (in more ways than one, lol!) comes back. Jacob cannot just turn his feelings off and on, ESPECIALLY since he's a teenager, and also because he KNOWS that Bella DOES have feelings for him too, she is just in denial.
    But besides Jake's own feelings, he feels he MUST do whatever possible to stop Bella from becoming a "cold monster". He KNOWS what a predatory vampire is, and that the Cullens are the extremely rare exception. He KNOWS that she will probably not be able to control herself as a newborn.
    And most importantly, he wants to save her human life and her immortal soul. Sure, we all believe and hope that the Cullens souls are not lost, but the Wolf Pack are vampires natural enemies and have a lot of doubts about that. Jake (and Edward!) don't want her to lose her human life OR her soul, so Jacob is doing EVERYTHING in his power to prevent that. If I were in his shoes, I would do the same for my loved ones.
    Thanks to SM, Jake's heartache was healed and his (and Edward's) worries were for naught. But Jacob did not know that. He did what he HAD to do.
    Bella and Edward FOREVER, but she couldn't lose Jacob forever either.
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    yep, poor Jake. Never had a chance. Bella's heart belongs to one man alone. Jake is a nice guy and I really do like him, but he's just not meant for Bella.

    First?!

    Edited:
    Second with the blingy silver star!!! =)
  • TwiGuy_4_Life
    I loved this chapter, the whole incident with the bikes was great, Bella finding the source to her Edward visions, and especially when Bella kicks down on the wrong brake, the fact that Jacob had blatantly told her not to use it and the fact that she still used it when she panicked just cracks me up every time. Jacob is still growing on me and I know there are going to be a lot of people who are going to hate me for this but if he keeps growing on me at this rate I might just have to switch teams.

    BTW I really wanted to be first, curse you flowers and cookies :'(
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    I agree... but it reminds me of the first time I drove an automatic... I was used to driving a standard & using the left foot for the clutch... my dad yelled at me because I was two-footing the automatic. Old habits die hard, and instincts don't always remember what you've just been taught... but yeah, I laugh at it, too! LOL
  • LOL I did the same thing!!! After I screached the breaks a few times and almost threw myself out of my own car,I figured out how to break with my right foot =D
  • SnowyHedwig <3 NM, hate MR
    I just remember my dad yelling at me, "GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE!!!!" ROFLMAO

    like 5th but i love this chapter in the book!
  • xxxMsJacobBlackxxx
    exsepssially the description of jacobs body good part =) haha
  • bellas_moonstone_ring
    great chapter.... love all the details,
    looking forward to bella breaking more rules =)
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    I haven't re-read this chapter yet. I'm so sidetracked by HB Robsten. I can't focus on anything right now.
  • Ok, so if you aren't still on Bella's boat, this chapter is definitely where you jumped ship. Bella is no longer borderline crazy, she's an almost full fledged lunatic. (j/k overexaggerated just a bit) She finally discovers the "recipe" for hallucinations, danger + adrenaline + stupidity. I love on pg. 185 just after she stalled the bike... I was anxious to try again right away. Being reckless was paying off better than I'd thought. Forget cheating. Maybe I'd found a way to generate the hallucinations -- that was much more important.

    Another fave of mine here are the last lines of the chapter when they're just finishing their first day of meadow searching. "Bears don't want to eat people. We don't taste that good." He grinned at me in the dark cab. "Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you'd taste good."
    "Thanks so much," I said, looking away. He wasn't the first person to tell me that.
    On a side not I'm glad that Jake was not with her when she initially finds the meadow. IT would have broken Jakes heart to see Bella like that.
  • bellas_moonstone_ring
    but he sorta was.... just in wolf form
    i wonder how much he saw
  • I hope he didnt see anything until Laurent shows up... but I'd bet money he at least heard the entire thing... sad
  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    I forgot that line was in there.. about the bears and how she'd taste good. haha. I want that in the movie! And I agree.. it would be so sad if he were there to witness that whole thing. Actually, didn't she say that in the book, too? That she was glad Jake wasn't with.
  • OOOOOHHHH!!! Yes! and speaking of bears hehe! One of my favorite parts in the book was They were leaving Jakes house and he was Teasing her about the bear eating her, I crack up every time I read the part when she tells him she only has to be faster than him.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI

  • *puts on I <3 Jake Pre-Transformation t-shirt*

  • breesmom
    Pre-transformation Jacob was so sweet! Such a cuddly teddy bear. I was sad when he shunned Bella afterwards. He had been such a good friend to her.

    You're sort of beautiful--what a lovely line! I was so happy to hear it included in the scene at ComicCon.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Yup yup!! I LOVED that Jake.. he was my sunshine after Edward left me too!!
    But then... *sighs* everything foreshadowed heart break and more tears
    =(
    I cant wait to see this!
  • breesmom
    Yep. I cried the first time I read that Jacob was avoiding her post-transformation. I thought, "No!. Bella has been through so much already. You know that Jacob! Why would you put her through this again!"

    Jacob was such a good friend. I'm happy he became Edward's friend, too. My second favorite Edward line in Breaking Dawn? "Goodbye Jacob, my friend...my son." No, really! I found it so touching after all they had been through.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    *wipes tear away*
    Me too woman!! That whole good-bye scene made me cry and when Edward said that I was like WHOA... thats my man!! SO sweet!
  • dude seriously I cry my eyes out everytime I read "my son" .....
    It get's me right here *points to heart*
    That may be my favorite (at least a second favorite) line in the entire series. It just represents the finally coming together of all of them, and oh my gosh thinking they are about to die to protect Jake and Nessie.... uggghh.. so touchin/heart breaking
    *sobs like baby*
  • vampiresarecool84
    Wow! Couldn't agree with you more.

    It was a heart stop moment in the narative. Such a beautiful moment shadowed by what they thought was the inevitable outcome.

    *sobs*

    Here, have a tissue, I don't think I'll need the whole box.

    *sob*
  • thanks for the tissues!!
    *grabs kleenex, dries tears, wipes snot* lol
    Do you have kids 84? I think thats why that moment makes me cry so hard... I have one son that is about Nessie's size and it just killed me reading that...
    More than my own life... *SOB SOB SOB*
  • vampiresarecool84
    I dont have kids but I spend most of my week days with my 1 year old nephew. He's Nessie sized as well and I know I'd do anything on this earth to protect him.

    Okay, I know this is totally off the wall, but every time I read that they're at Jacob's house, I see the visual in my head as I'm reading the story and I can't help but think it must be a pig-sty. Don't get me wrong - I loves me some Jacob - I'm totes Team Jacob, but.....how does Billy clean thoroughly if he's in a wheelchair? Mopping would take all day. Plus let's face it, he's a man and most of them (I know, not all) can't clean worth a damn. And Jake is a teenage boy and they don't even like to bathe. So....I just had to know, am I the only one who's ever had this thought? Do you think maybe Sue Clearwater comes over and mops and cleans the toilets once in a while? I don't think Billy can afford a cleaning woman? I'm sorry, I just had to throw it out there.
  • vampiresarecool84
    ROFL! Yeah, two guys and no women, it probs is a bit of a pigsty. My money would be on Emily coming around to clean though. She just strikes me as that sort of charecter. All caring for the community.

    okk now that i am calm from all the HB photos!!!...
    lets review Chapter 8..
    I tried to tell myself that the fear was pointless. I’d already lived through the worst thing possible. In comparison with that, why should anything frighten me now? I should be able to look death in the face and laugh.
    Bella Swan,

    that was a really Emo moment for Bella!!..i like it..lol

    Did you know, you’re sort of beautiful?

    haha..yes Bella, we all know JAcob is very beautiful..soo beautiful indeed!!

    The hole came back, the way it always did when I was away from Jacob, but it didn’t throb so badly around the edges.

    the moment she was starting to heal!!..and feel more human..thanks to jacob, he was her healer, her sun,..he is just plain good for her!!
  • R.P.Crackward~MarblePoleDancer
    Where is TeamRobsten+RumpyPumpy?! She is missing out!!!
  • I cheated yesterday and read all the way to the chapter where Alice and Bella run off to Italy. =D It always breaks my heart when Laurent tells Bella that she obviously didn't mean much to Edward since he left her there unprotected. That was low! =(
    Only 2 weeks and 2 days to go!!!
  • DDB_DazzledByRob
    I love this chapter for 4 reasons
    1st: Bella hears Edward's voice again, and I love that he growles...I'm really looking forward to hearing that in the movie
    2nd: I love that Jacob is so worried about her when she fell off her bike
    3rd: Bella's says ''Did you know, you're sort of beautiful''. When I read that I always think: well yeah..that was sort of obvious from the beginning...
    4th: Jacob held her hand in the ER, which is something Edward couldn't have done so I praise Jake for that

    I loved this chapter but I love the next chapter even more so I'm looking forward to tomorrow :)
  • vampiresarecool84
    Ok, lonmg time no see guys. I've been destracted by all the wonderful FF out there. I also chose to read NM again before the film comes out of my own accord. I came to have a peek at what was being posted over on this wonderful site and came across this post. Funnily enough the last chapter I read was chapter 8.

    I do like this chapter, I like how Bella wants to go riding her bike again even though her head is bleeding all over the place. How she imagines herself covered in paint to stop the nausea. Brilliant.

    I'm so gonna read chapter 9 2moz so I can take part in the read-athon count down till 20th Nov.

    A brilliant idea mrsedwardcullen :)
  • leahcyr
    I love the way that hallucinatory Edward speaks to Bella..
    "This is reckless and childish and idiotic, Bella.."
    "I told you so.."
    "Do you want to kill yourself, then? Is that what this is about?.."
    "Go home to Charlie.."

    It just makes me laugh.. lol.. loveee it
    Oh Edward, you are hilarrr.. well crazy imaginative Edward is anyways..
  • i think this is one of my fav chapters from NM...and there aren't many :(
    my fav quote was after she hit her head and said "you're kind of beautiful." it makes me smile everytime.

    this chapter also made me want to be wreckless and ride motorcycles, too. i ride them w/ my best friend eveytime he comes to town.
  • EverySingleDayOfForever
    So I jumped the gun and had to remove this post yesterday, perhaps I am trying to move ahead too fast - like the first time I read the book. :) I have re-read it a couples of times since then as Stephanie suggested.

    As I began to loosen my grip, I was shocked to be interrupted by a voice that did not belong to the boy standing next to me.
    “This is reckless and childish and idiotic, Bella, “ the velvet voice fumed.
    “Oh!” I gasped, and my hand fell off the clutch. The bike bucked underneath me, yanking me forward and then collapsing to the ground half on top of me. The growling engine choked to a stop.
    “Bella?” Jacob jerked the heavy bike off me with ease. “Are you hurt?”
    But I wasn’t listening.
    “I told you so,” the perfect voice murmured, crystal clear.
  • TeamEdward(THE_BIG_DAY!<3)
    Okay here we go......

    "Racing down the road like that had been amazing. The feel of the wind in my face, the speed and the freedom...it reminded me of my past life, flying through the thick forest without a road, piggyback while he ran--I stopped thinking right there, letting the memory break off in the sudden agony. I flinched." -Bella Swan.

    "The nightmare, too, had lost a little of it's potency. I was horrified by the nothingness, as always, but I was also strangely impatient as I waited for the right moment that would send me screaming into consciousness. I knew the nightmare had to end." -Bella Swan

    As you can see Jake is really helping her along now. But the nightmare completely ends either when she sees Edward in Volterra or when he tells her he's not going to leave her. I thinks it's both, in a weird way.

    Oh and this one!

    ' "Bears don't eat people. We don't taste that good." He grinned at me in the dark cab. "Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you taste good."
    "Thanks so much," I said, looking away. He wasn't the first person to tell me that.'
    -Jake and Bella

    I love that one, because once again he says something that triggers Edward in a way.
  • sagrario

  • dazzledtwilighter
    I like this chapter... and I really like how that even though Bella is in pain she WANTS to hear Edward's voice.... and what I want to see in the movie is the hiking scene with her and Jake and also how Jake is driving Bella's truck and even though he is worried about Bella he goes along with her and how she wants to go back to change... not really an action packed chapter... but I REALLY want majority of this chapter in the movie!
    16 days!

    "As I began to loosen my grip, I was shocked to be interrupted by a voice that did not belong
    to the boy standing next to me.
    "This is reckless and childish and idiotic, Bella," the velvet voice fumed.
    "Oh!" I gasped, and my hand fell off the clutch.
    The bike bucked under me, yanking me forward and then collapsing to the ground half on
    top of me. The growling engine choked to a stop." Oh Edward...

    an then..:
    ""Do you want to kill yourself, then? Is that what this is about?" the other voice spoke again,
    his tone severe.
    I smiled tightly–it was still working–and ignored the questions. Jacob wasn't going to let
    anything serious happen to me.
    "Go home to Charlie," the voice ordered. The sheer beauty of it amazed me. I couldn't allow
    my memory to lose it, no matter the price.
    "Ease off slowly," Jacob encouraged me.
    "I will," I said. It bothered me a bit when I realized I was answering both of them.
    The voice in my head growled against the roar of the motorcycle.
    Trying to focus this time, to not let the voice startle me again, I relaxed my hand by tiny
    degrees. Suddenly, the gear caught and wrenched me forward.
    And I was flying.
    There was wind that wasn't there before, blowing my skin against my skull and flinging my
    hair back behind me with enough force that it felt like someone was tugging on it. I'd left my
    stomach back at the starting point; the adrenaline coursed through my body, tingling in my
    veins. The trees raced past me, blurring into a wall of green.
    But this was only first gear. My foot itched toward the gearshift as I twisted for more gas.
    "No, Bella!" the angry, honey-sweet voice ordered in my ear. "Watch what you're doing!"
    It distracted me enough from the speed to realize that the road was starting a slow curve to
    the left, and I was still going straight. Jacob hadn't told me how to turn.
    "Brakes, brakes," I muttered to myself, and I instinctively slammed down with my right foot,
    like I would in my truck.
    The bike was suddenly unstable underneath me, shivering first to one side and then the other.
    It was dragging me toward the green wall, and I was going too fast. I tried to turn the
    handlebar the other direction, and the sudden shift of my weight pushed the bike toward the
    ground, still spinning toward the trees.
    The motorcycle landed on top of me again, roaring loudly, pulling me across the wet sand
    until it hit something stationary. I couldn't see. My face was mashed into the moss. I tried to
    lift my head, but there was something in the way.
    I was dizzy and confused. It sounded like there were three things snarling–the bike over me,
    the voice in my head, and something else…"
