We are on the Final Chapter of our countdown that means, New Moon is now in theaters!!!  Join us as I say good bye and watch this new moon fade into the clouds.  And also look forward to re-reading Eclipse with me in 2010!

Epilogue: Treaty

“Jacob kept his eyes on Edward.  “I just needed to remind your bloodsucking friends of a few key points in the treaty they agreed to.  The treaty is the only thing stopping me from ripping his throat out right this minute.”  “We haven’t forgotten.”  Edward said at the same time I demanded.  “ What key points?”    Jacob still glowered at Edward, but he answered me.  “The treaty is quite specific.  If any of them bite a human, the truce is over.  Bite not kill.”

Well Mr. Black certainly has a chip on his shoulder, but with good reason…maybe.  After all Bella even though she was showing mixed emotions, she was rather detached from really being in a relationship with Jacob, but his love for her is so strong that he sees no rhyme or reason for her to be with Edward.  I firmly believe that if Edward had come back but he and Bella had remained apart, and Bella was still miserable over Edward, that Jacob’s love would have been strong enough to carry them, because he loves her more than anything in this world, and I now understand that about Jacob Black.  So here’s my closing thoughts

• Life is back to normal in grey cold wet Forks.  Edward and Bella’s relationship is stronger than ever, and it better be I mean she only flew to Italy and sacrificed her life in a castle infested with vampires to save the man she loves.
• Charlie has Bella on lock down, she isn’t allowed to go anywhere, which is odd because she is an adult…go figure
• Jacob hasn’t been heard from in weeks.  Bella calls but no answer
• But Jacob has never been one to go away for long has he?  He returns with a bang!  Once again Jacob with his immature behavior and charm, has decided to return Bella’s bike to her via Charlie and wants to get her busted and possibly grounded in the process so that she can’t see Edward Cullen, but it’s too late had he answered a phone lately he would’ve known that Bella is already on punishment…good going Jake
• The face off: Edward and Bella face off with Jacob Black.  Jacob wants to remind Edward of the treaty, that the Cullen’s agreed upon.  Edward is fully aware of this treaty and guarantees to make good on the promise.
• Jacob apologizes to Bella about ratting on her and the bike, but Charlie is already on the rampage
• Victoria is still on the loose.  Jeez how hard is it to catch this woman?  I mean she is fast, you guys have to see her in the movie!  She rocks.
• Pg. 560  The final goodbye.  I looked back at Jacob torn,  Would I see him again?  “Sorry.”  He whispered so low that I had to read his lips to understand.  “Bye Bells.”  “You promised, still friends right?”  Jacob shook his head slowly, and the lump in my throat nearly strangled me.  “You know how hard I’ve tried to keep that promise, but…I can’t see how to keep trying.  Not now.  Miss you.”  “Me too.”  I choked out.  My hand reached toward his across the wide space.  Like we were connected, the echo of his pain twisted inside me.  His pain, my pain.  “Jake.”  I took a step toward him.  I wanted to wrap my arms around his waist and erase the expression of misery on his face.  Edward pulled me back again, his arms restraining instead of defending.  “It’s okay.”  I promised him, looking up to read his face with trust in my eyes.  He would understand.  “No, it’s not.  Let her go!”  Jacob snarled, furious again.  “She wants to!”  Jacob took two long strides forward.  A glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.  His chest seemed to swell as it shuddered. 
• Pg. 562  Jacob watched us with a dark scowl on his bitter face.  The anticipation drained from eyes, and then, just before the forest came between us, his face suddenly crumpled in pain.  I knew that last glimpse of his face would haunt me until I saw him smile again.  And right there I vowed that I wold see him smile, and soon.  I would find a way to keep my friend.
• Bella realizes that her young life is a complete and utter mess, and in my opinion should have made the choice to walk away a long time ago, personally, I think this life is just too much for anyone to handle, but now its too late, she is in too deep.  As Caius said, “She knows too much, she is a liability”
• Pg. 562  “I had some serious problems.  My best friend counted me with his enemies.  Victoria was still on the loose, putting everyone I loved in danger.  If I didn’t become a vampire soon, the Volturi would kill me.”
• Final quote:  “Very serious problems.  So why did they all suddenly seem insignificant when we broke through the last of the trees and I caught sight of the expression on Charlie’s purple  face?  Edward squeezed me gently.  “I’m here.”   That was true.  Edward was here, with his arms around me.  I could face anything as long as that was true,  I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with destiny solidly at my side.”

I want to thank all of you who stayed with me for these past 25 days.  Whether it was me taking forever to post, or my sometimes not so nice opinions(y’all know I’m veryy opinionated)but still you all stuck with me every step of the way and as I get extremely emotional right now, I want to give a very extra special thanks to Will & LMCullen who were always there to help me with any issues I may have had.  Doing this New Moon re-read has been about the best experience I’ve had in a long time and I cannot wait until we re-read Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, and maybe Twilight, for old times sake?  Stay tuned!- Love,  Bashy(Mrs Edward Cullen)
