The Way I See It Is This, He's Not Like That! If You Read TwilightAndMidnight Sun You'll See He Doesn't Want To Be A Monster! If Bella And Edward Met In A Dark Alley, This Is What I'd Think Happens:
Bella Walks By-Taking In All Her Surroundings! Edward Is Overwhelmed With Her Scent And Bites Her-Intending To Kill Her! He Comes To His Senses And Stops The Bite-But He Still Wants More! Bella Is Screaming In Agony Because The Vampire Venom Is "Burning" Her! He Picks Her Up And Takes Her To Carlisle! He Sits By Her Side And Listens To Her Scream For Three Days-Feeling Guilty! When She Wakes Up, She Wants To Attack Them All! The Whole Cullen Family Reins Her In And Explains Everything! She's Pissed And A Newborn Vampire-Deadly!
They Get Through The First Year-After A Few Slip Ups, Or Saying it Bluntly Kills-And Her Old Feelings Come Back! She Realizes She's In Love Wth Edward And-Of Course-He Feels The Same Way! He's Been In Love With Her For A Year Now! They End Up Living Happily Ever After-But Charlie And Rene Belive She's Dead And Her Murderer Hasn't Been Caught!
In The End, The Story Isn't Great! No Renesmee, No Jacob, No Charlie, And Plenty Of Devestated People! I Like Stephenie Meyer's Version Better! But It Still Kinda Works Out This Way!
Before Bella And Edward Met! Before They Moved To Forks Actually! It's Mentioned In Midnigh Sun! I Actually Think It Talks About it A Little Bit In Twilight Too!
Very true! Good point. But it seems as if S.M never really explains whats happening with Emmett and Rosalie in their scenes as she does with Edward and Bella for example...if you know what I mean.
i think he would have if he hadn't met Carlisle & learned that vampires can live on animal blood & not just human blood. If it wasn't for Carlisle & Edward was still a vampire he'd probably be as crazy as the volturi or a nomad.
