Breaking Dawn #18


Once again, I didn't get much reading time in again because I've been pretty busy. Anyway, I am at the part where Alice and Jasper just ran away. They don't think it is safe for them because the Volturi (bad guys) are coming and they think it is the best to leave. One of the Volturi, Aro, would do anything to have Alice, but she would never again to joining their clan and never wants to be separated from Jasper, so everyone thinks that they left for fear of being separated. Before they left, they wrote the Cullens a letter saying, " Don't look for us. There isn't time to waste. Remember: Tanya, Siobhan, Amun, Alistair, all the nomads you can find. We'll seek out Peter and Charlotte on our way. We're so sorry that we have to leave you this way, with no goodbyes or explanations. It's the only way for us. We love you." (Meyer 558). In this passage, Jasper and Alice aren't giving them much to work with, but enough to know that something bad is coming their way. Alice can see the future, so she must have seen something coming. The reason she told them to remember about those certain people is because she wants them to round of friends and family members to help them when the Volturi come because they can not handle them alone, according to Alice. The part that I am at, Bella is trying to use her "power" to shield others besides herself. She is immune from any harm that other vampires put upon her, which is an amazing skill. She is trying to see if she can shield her whole family, but it makes her very tired and worn out. I wonder if she will eventually be able to do it.
