Since Alice can see the future, she's able to tell Edward the exact moment to stop so he doesn't kill Bella. Alice and Bella, ultimately, make him stop. Edward can taste when Bella's blood is clean, but has a tough time stopping himself from draining and killing the girl. In the books, this scene is drawn out much more. The scene begins to fade out and we see Bella awake in a hospital. As a result, Edward starts seeing visions of his time with Bella that bring him out of a slight frenzy. In the film, Carlisle tells Edward he needs to find the will to allow himself to stop drinking Bella's blood after he extracts venom from it. In reality, he'd have no way of simply knowing that detail. In the movie, Carlisle seems to know when all of the venom is magically out of Bella's body. Unsatisfied with either outcome, Edward tried to see a third path where Bella lived her human life and they remained together. Alice either saw Bella dead or turned into a vampire. She ran through possible futures for Bella with Edward, but all of them included overcoming the obstacle of the meadow.įor most of the book, two visions haunt Edward. What we don't see in the film - and learn about in "Midnight Sun" - is that Alice saw a vision that Edward seemed likely to lose control with Bella in the meadow and kill her. When Edward asks to drive her there, her plans change and the two head to Edward's secret meadow. In the book, Bella is set on going to Seattle. Edward begrudgingly takes Bella to a meadow to show her why he can't go out in the sunlight (he sparkles) and then attempts to strike fear in her.Įdward shows Bella all of the "monstrous" things about him as tosses part of a tree across the forest and flits from rock to tree. This scene plays out a bit different in the film. In "Midnight Sun," the meadow is a more meaningful, personal place to Edward. Before he gets to Bella, Edward considers torturing Lanny until he begged to die. The men reminded Edward of predators he hunted and killed during his early days as a vampire before he settled down into his animal diet with the Cullens. But in "Midnight Sun," Edward hears the thoughts of a man named Lanny who was planning to have his way with the girl. In the film, Edward easily brushes off her question by saying it's not tough to guess what was on their minds before asking her to distract him so he doesn't go back and hurt them.ĭuring a first watch, Edward's reaction seems a bit visceral since he's extremely protective of Bella. When Edward saves Bella from a group of belligerent men in Port Angeles, he tells her he wants to go back there and rip their heads off because she doesn't know what they were thinking.Īn incredulous Bella asks Edward how he could possibly know what they were thinking, unaware he can read minds. If he stayed in that class any longer he may have lost control.Įdward wasn't joking when he said he wanted to rip their heads off. It's why Edward leaves the moment the bell rings. This goes on for about seven pages until the class ends. and I'd be forced to kill more innocents in this black hour." Not impossible, but there would be much more noise.

"It would be slower and more difficult, trying to take them all down when they were panicked and scrambling, moving in chaos. She was my prey."įor the hour they're in class, Edward considered the best ways to kill Bella and her classmates, if necessary. I was nothing close to the human I'd once been. "Her scent hit me like a battering ram, like an exploding grenade. Though we can infer that Bella's scent caused Edward to act strangely towards her the first time they met, we learn the power it has over him and how painfully it affects him in "Midnight Sun." He was overwhelmed by it and was trying to restrain from killing the entire class. It's just the opposite.Įdward looks ridiculous in biology class because he wasn't simply put off by Bella's scent.
