The whole story is told by Bella Swan, a girl from Phoenix. She has always been different, she didn’t belong to a group, no one did pay really attention to her and she didn’t care. Her parents divorced a couple of years ago and Bella used to live with her mother. But since her mum remarried she moved in by her dad, living in Forks a small rainy village near the beach. Her first school day did already went different then she expected, a several boys liked her just like her new friend Jessica. For the first time in her live, Bella really did belong to a group, a popular one. But something else attracted her attention, it was a group consisting out of three boys and two girls who always sat in the back of the auditorium. They were different from others, they didn’t ate, barely spoke and only sat together. Bella did specially noticed one boy, Edward.
First, Edward tried to avoid Bella. But during a short period they really start to know and care about each other. Edward seems to look straight into Bella’s soul and both of them fell deeply in love. But still Bella doesn’t trust the whole situation, Edward is sometimes acting strange, his eyes changes color, he’s very intelligent and strong but also pale and cold. When she comes too near, he react very weird. And once a day, he saves her from the death. A car almost crashed in her but he jumped in front of her and stopped the car by his bare hands. During a deeply conversation, Bella finds out, Edward is a vampire. But he isn’t like a vampire the stories says, he don’t burn when appearing in sunlight, he won’t get wings and don’t sleep in a coffin. Edward had some special abilities, he’s incredibly strong and fast and he can read minds, except for Bella’s. And the most important part is that he and his family are vegetarian, meaning they only hunt on animals and don’t drink human blood.
Everything went well, till spring break. Bella went together with the Cullens to play a baseball game. But during the game, they met three other vampires, no vegetarian. They immediately smelled Bella was human and they tried to kill her. The Cullens and Bella fights to Phoenix, hoping the hunters wouldn’t find them. But into phoenix, Bella got a call from James, one of these vampires, to come to the ballet room otherwise he would kill her mum. Bella didn’t said anything to Alice and Jasper and hurried to the ballet room. It was empty, her mum wasn’t even there. Suddenly James appeared and attacked her, he broke her legs made her bleed and bite her. Fortunately the Cullens came before she died and killed James. Bella had to go to the hospital, but she survived because Edward sucked the poison out of her before it turned her into a vampire as well.
Some days after the attack Edward invited Bella to the prom. Despite Bella couldn’t dance because of her legs, they did. She asked him to turn her into a vampire as well, so she wouldn’t have to lose him again, but Edward refused.
That’s how it ended.
May be you understand where the cover picture came from.
On the cover, a apple is shown, it represents the forbidden fruit from the book of genesis.
It stands for the love between Bella and Edward, which is forbidden.
In the beginning of the book, there is a quote of genesis:
But the tree of knowledge, of good and evil.
You shall not eat of it:
For the day you’ll eat there of
You shall die
