and, although we don't experience it yet, she is having a nightmare. She battles through a crowd of group of red cloaked unknowns in the noon-day sun. She appears up to see a clock tug and the great hand that moves to 12:00. Suddenly she emerges from the woods into a glade of flowers, searching across to her grandma (Christina Jastrzembska). Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) comes up behind Bella. She tries to admonish him away, "Don't. She'll see you." He keeps approaching, however. She seems to welcome his decision to reveal himself and, as she requires his hand says, "Okay." They approaching Bella's Grandma and Bella says, "Gran, I'd like you to see Edward," but the words come out of the older woman, as well as Bella. She figures it is her, older, crinkled, and her Grandma is actually her reflection, standing next to an everlastingly young Edward. He leans over and kisses her wrinkled forehead.
Charlie (Billy Burke), Bella's father, heats her up from the nightmare. She's fallen asleep reading "Romeo and Juliet."
He wants Bella a happy birthday. He returns her two gifts, a digital camera from him, and a scrapbook from her mother. She protests weakly as she'd thought they'd agreed that she wasn't going to get any presents. He jokes that she is controlled with aging and points out a grey hair on her head. Bella scurries to the mirror, relieved that he was chaffing.
As Bella drives to school in her old brick red, beat-up Chevrolet truck (license plate 24G-7HI) the radio relays that three hikers are dropping, presumed dead. When she gets at the parking plenty she speaks to her friends, Jessica, Mike, Angela, and Eric, all of who seem to know nothing of her birthday. She takes a picture of them as Edward drives up in the parking lot in a brand-new, black Volvo 2010 X60 (license plate 57F-6D3). The rest of the group depart when he gets. Edward wishes her a happy birthday. Bella tells him shes not very happy about it. She's eighteen now, which is a year older than him. Edward deductions her worry. After all, hes 109. They kiss turbulently but he breaks away, saying that they need to go to class. He also stops her because Jacob wants to see her, even though he hasn't arrived yet.
When he does Edward backs away. Bella marvels at the changes that have come over Jacob (Taylor Lautner), riding him about having anabolic steroids. He too gives Bella a gift. It's a dreamcatcher, a woven band meant to prevent bad dreams away. "That's kinda perfect," says Bella, reflecting on her nightmare. Jacob departs.
Edward asks Bella why Jacob Black can gift her gifts but he cannot. She states him the argue is that she cannot give him back anything.
In the hallway of the school the rest of the school-age Cullen clan come. Though Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) is glad to see her, Jasper Cullen (Jackson Rathbone) remains aloof, open at her from the other side of the hallway. Alice gives her a present which, using her vampire power of augury, tells Bella she will love. She also invites Bella to a birthday party they're going to have for her that night, which starts at 7:00. Bella agrees but then realizes that Jasper has altered her mood to make her happily agree and gently chides him for it.
In class Edward and Bella are speaking during the movie that is being established. Edward says how doesn't like Romeo because he is so quick to act after he sees Juliet dead, but he is jealous of him for one understanding. Bella believes this to be of Juliet, but he says it is of the ease of suicide humans have, since it is nearly bitter for vampires. He later tells Bell that he began to think along these lines when he thought Bella might not have survived the attack by James a few months before. He says he would have gone and provoked the Volturi. Bella is horrified by this thought and says he should never say it again. Edwards is then questioned by their teacher, Mr. Berty, who conceives he's not been paying attention to the BBC version of "Romeo and Juliet" they've been watching. Edward responds by quoting Romeo's final soliloquy from the play.
"O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss"
This silences their teacher.
Bella goes to the Cullens' house for a birthday party. In Front the proceedings Edward and Bella stand before a painting of the Volturi, which includes Edward's vampiric father Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli). The painting follows to life, showing an earlier time, as Edward explains that Carlisle lived with them for a few decades and that the Volturi are the closest things the vampire race has to royalty. They have no respect for human life but they do respect the arts, the sciences and, above all, the law. The Volturi have simple rules: to not make spectacles of themselves, to not kill conspicuously. The penalty for disobedience is death. During this exposition the Volturi tableau shows Aro (Michael Sheen), the supposed leader, Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) who has long-flowing black hair, and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower), who has long-flowing white hair, taking a transgressor, laying their hands upon him, and tearing him apart as Carlisle turns away, disturbed.
Edward has broken the law by telling Bella, a human, too much. He also predicts that Victoria will come for him some day. Bella tells Edward that they would never have to think about this if he would turn her into a vampire. He says firmly that won't ever happen.
All are gathered in the main hall. Rosalie Cullen (Nikki Reed) gives her a necklace, which she takes was all Alice's idea. Then Emmett (Kellan Lutz) gives her an blank box, but tells her that he has already established a new sound arrangement in her beat-up truck ("Don't hate the truck," jokes Bella) . As she opens another gift from Carlisle and Esme, Bella gets a paper cut and a drop of her blood lands on the carpet. Jasper directly lunges for her, unable to resist the temptation of her blood. Edward protectively throws Bella back against a glass table and repels Jasper, switching him backward into a piano. Jasper comes on, mad for her blood, but he's stopped by Edward, Carlisle and Emmett. Bella's right arm is seriously cut by the shards. Even Alice seems tempted by the sight and smell of her blood and apologetically has to excuse herself. Carlisle also has to order Edward out, who stands enchanted by the bleeding sight of Bella, several feet away, with the excuse that only he can talk to Jasper, who must now be ashamed of his actions.
Carlisle involves her to get stitches in his office. Bella asks him how he can resist her. "Practice," he tells her. She asks him why he does it, and he says he wants to help people, even if he is "damned regardless." She does not understand what he means. "Like hell?" she presses, insisting this is unthinkable. Carlisle tells her of the belief that vampires do not have souls. Bella realizes that is why Edward will not change her. "Imagine the reverse," Carlisle tells, "if you could take away his soul." He burnings her blood in a bowl.
Afterward, Edward drives home with her in her truck. He speaks about the welfare of Bella's soul. Bella reasons that he can't always protect her. She will get ill, have an accident, and get old. If he turns her, none of this will happen. "That's not a solution," Edward anticipates, "It's a tragedy." Bella says she doesn't care about her soul. But its still Bella's birthday and she requests one last thing, that Edward kiss her. They do and Edward again has to restrain himself. They exchange vows of love.
That evening Bella prints out a photo of her and Edward. She folds the photo in half, going Edward's side facing up.
The walking day the Cullens are not at civilize. Edward occurs through to Bella's home after schooling before she arrives. He sees the bent photo. Bella arrives and Edward intercepts her before she gets to the house. He tells her they get to talk. Aftermost a pass some ways away on a trail in the timber, he stops and tells her that they are resulting Forks. "Carlisle is supposed to be ten years older than he looks and people are beginning to notice." Bella says that she'll have to condition some rationalize for Charlie but when she notices that Edward isn't picking up on the suggestion realizes he isn't talking about getting her with them. "You don't belong in my world," says Edward. "I belong with you," she retorts. "I don't want you to come," he continues. "If this is about my soul, take it," she protests, "I don't want it without you." He gets more pointed. He can't stay with her anymore, stating, "You're not good for me." He asks her to promise that she will not do anything reckless, for Charlie's sake, and in return he promises her she will never see him again. He kisses her on her forehead and disappears. Bella runs after him and as it gets dark. Lost deep in the woods she trips and drops to the forest floor, depleted and deserted. She falls asleep sobbing. An enormous wolf watches her from a nearby rise.
The screen fades to black.
