After his parents divorced, Isabella Swan decided to live with his biological father, Charlie Swan, in a small town with a fairly high rainfall, Forks.
The first day of the move to a high school in the city center, filled with dozens and even hundreds of names of people who tried to close or only lip service offering hospitality. But of the many names that even he can not remember a single one, just a name that caught his attention, CULLEN.
Cullen is a family of DR. Carlisle Cullen, Mrs. Esme Cullen, and her four children Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Edward Cullen. The last name is what makes Isabella Swann interested, maybe even fascinated. All members of the Cullen family has an incredible beautiful face, skin as white as marble, silvery eyes as sharp as an eagle, as well as shining hair. But the physical is not the main reason for interest in Bella the Cullen family, but the dark side that somehow come out of nowhere and for some reason it only seems to notice Bella. She shuddered when her eyes met eyes with Edward Cullen, as well as Fifth Major Precept terrible, he thought.
The next grade biology class, Bella was surprised when he realized that his partner in biology lesson is Edward Cullen. Sitting right next to Edward Cullen makes a little more sensing destroyed, her brain was reluctant to absorb the lessons. Accidentally he saw the eyes of Edward Cullen golden turn black dark. He shuddered again; an expression that emanated from Cullen's face was terrible.
After the incident in the biology, Bella does not see Edward Cullen for several weeks. Not even all the members of the Cullen family. In the next class Bella back to see Edward in biology class, this time with a more friendly expression and eyes are much warmer. The last meeting left a deep impression in the heart of Bella, she dreamed of Edward Cullen in each bedroom.
Bella to Edward's interest in getting into, especially when Edward managed to saved Bella from a deadly accident that almost killed Bella. But the interest is turned into suspicion when Bella realized there was something odd about him that adored over the years, not his skin is too pale, nor color of his eyes which often turns darker, but there was something else, something larger that the Cullen family Bella also try to hide from people of all those around them.
Strange combination between a sense of awe and suspicion makes Bella are increasingly looking closer and uncover all the secrets of the Cullen family, especially Edward Cullen.
Edward increasingly bizarre behavior after the accident, let alone greet Bella, met within 20 meters of visibility Bella-he was reluctant. In biology class, Edward barely utter a-word, He is silent, Bella really feel neglected. He was disappointed even though he still does not know what actually caused Edward ignored him.
As Edward who ignore Bella, Bella-Edward was trying to ignore. He tried to forget everything he has ever felt for Edward, amazed, curious, and fascinated, all he destroy. In fact, removing the name of Edward Cullen from his mind is more difficult than what he had imagined, he still dreams of being good-looking as white as marble.
Until one day after class, biology, unexpectedly without the suspect, Edward came to see Bella. Bella who was determined to forget the creature ignored the arrival of Edward, he ignored it. But Edward finally managed to convince Bella that he was tired of trying to stay away from Bella. And his efforts away from Bella's not because he does not want Bella, but he did it for the good of Bella alone.
Edward drove Bella home, journey home, Edward began to open to Bella. Edward tells some things you want to know Bella, even though it was only answering a few of the many questions that raged his mind, Bella is quite satisfied. At least he knew Edward actual feelings that he does not hate Bella.
On weekends Bella with her friends, Jessica Stanley and Angela Weber went to Port Angels to find a dress to wear Jessica and Angela on the Prom event. And for the second-time Edward comes to save Bella, when Bella was trying to run away from a bunch of thugs who tried to bother him. Edward drove Bella home, while Jessica escorted home by Angela.
On the way home from Port Angels that Edward told him everything, about who he is. Initially surprised when Edward tells Bella that he and all members of the Cullen family is not human, but a vampire, but then he can control. She loves Edward, and he did not think about vampires and non-vampire it does not matter.
Finally, Edward tells Bella all wanted to know, about who he is, how he became a vampire, nor why he and his family do not suck human blood. After telling everything Edward gives Bella a second chance to,
"Run Bella, I'm not as perfect as you imagine."
But Bella did not move, he was already in love with Edward, and he does not care who the real Edward because he was sure Edward was not going to hurt Bella.
The next day Edward decided to introduce Bella to other family members. All received Bella with open arms, but Rosalie Cullen, Edward's sister extraordinary beauty with blond somehow looks really hate Bella. But, again, Bella ignored him, because the important thing is Edward. In a short time, Bella is best friends with Edward's sister, Alice, who appears to have special abilities such as vision for the future. Carlisle and Esme Cullen, Edward's parents are very grateful to Bella, because Bella was able to change Edward.
On weekends, Edward invites Bella picnic with the whole family. They play soft-ball in the spacious grounds are quite far from Forks. Bella felt comfortable being around Edward's family, they do not look scary especially dangerous. Emmett and Jasper, Edward's brother also seemed open to Bella.
When they are busy having fun, suddenly Edward's eyes darkened, his expression became more sinister than what could be imagined Bella. Apparently, a few moments later came three bloodthirsty vampires James, Victoria and Laurent. Initially they only want social call with the Cullen family, but then when suddenly the wind blowing towards Bella, they can smell and recognize Bella as a human. They are very surprised there are people in the middle of the Cullen family, but they did not dare to attack, because the number and strength is not comparable with the Cullen family.
Edward can read people's minds around it, as soon as he kissed Bella ran terrible plan that flashed to mind James. On the other hand Carlisle, Rosalie, Jasper and Esme inviting third vampire to distract them. But their plans failed because James had escaped scrutiny, James determined he would suck Bella's blood until they run out. Not because of thirst, but the protection of the Cullen family is so possessive toward Bella who makes James challenged to kill Bella.
Alice hides Bella to Seattle, but James managed to deceive everyone. James rummaging through their plans, he managed to get Bella, and nearly kills Bella right before Edward comes to save Bella. Bella was seriously injured, his body covered in blood, a dozen broken bones, but his life successfully saved.
After that, Edward vows to protect Bella. He will not let the incident was repeated a second time.
