posted by Alice_Cullen_

The Character

Name: Maria

Type: Vampire

Special Ability: None

About Them: Maria is only mentioned in Eclipse as a part of Jasper's past. Jasper recalls Maria as a tiny brunette with a soft and musical voice that had a tendency to be sharp. Maria was a very mature and able vampire was she was able to control her thirst even though she still preyed on humans' blood.

Their Early History: All that we know of Maria is her early history as Jasper has not had contact with her in a long time. Jasper was a major in the Confederate Army and Maria was looking for humans that she could turn to vampires to create a newborn army when their lives first became entwined. After turning Jasper, Maria found him extremely useful because he was able to control the emotions of the vampires around him. With Jasper and her sisters, Nettie and Lucy, Maria was able to take over numerous territories previously held par other vampires in Mexico. Maria eventually destroyed her own sisters, Nettie and Lucy, when they rebelled. Jasper later ran away with two other members of Maria's army, Peter and Charlotte, due to Maria's ruthless rule. After Jasper left we do not know what happens to Maria, although, there are indications that she is still alive.

New Moon Chapter 23

Chapter 23. THE TRUTH
I HAD THE SENSE THAT I'D BEEN ASLEEP FOR A VERY long time—my body was stiff, like I hadn't moved once through all that time, either. My mind was dazed and slow; strange, colorful dreams—dreams and nightmares—swirled dizzily around the inside of my head. They were so vivid. The horrible and the heavenly, all mixed together into a bizarre jumble. There was sharp impatience and fear, both part of that frustrating dream where your feet can't déplacer fast enough… And there were plenty of monsters, red-eyed fiends that were all the plus ghastly for their genteel civility....

ALICES POV!

posted by eclipselov

THIS IS MY FIRST ARTICLE. SO I HOPE toi LIKE IT.

The pain was horrible. I couldn't take it anymore. I opened my eyes to find darkness surround me. I try to scream. But all that comes out is a low moan. I know im becoming something different than what I already am. Im probably going to die. I don't mind much. Just to get out of all this pain and darkness. I can hear my own cœur, coeur beating. I wonder if my family would miss me. But for some reason i don't remeber who they are. My memories are slipping away. I've never been plus afraid than right at this moment. I have to get a grip on who I am....

Twilight - Chapter 3 - Phenomenon (pages 58-67)

*by Stephenie Meyer*

TWILIGHT - chapter 3 - PHENOMENON

It took six EMT's and two teachers - Mr. Varner and Coach Clapp - to shift the van far enough away from us to bring the stretchers in. Edward vehemently refused his, and I tried to do the same, but the traitor told them I'd hit my head and probably had a concussion. I almost died of humiliation when they put on the neck brace. It looked like the entire school was there, watching soberly as they loaded me in the back of the ambulance. Edward got to ride in the front. It was maddening.
To make matters worse, Chief cygne arrived before they...

Analysis of Twilight Film's Added Liberal Elements

posted by Dragonclaws

I personally l’amour the Twilight series of novels (and now movies), but I know there’s been a lot of controversy regarding them. auteur Stephenie Meyer, a conservative Mormon, places many of her values and beliefs in the story, such as creationism, linking the Quileute tribe with a link, and most notably the relationship between Bella and Edward in which he asserts total control over her life and she surrenders almost completely (I’m convinced that this is just a big fantaisie and not a representation of how she thinks women should live, though). This has raised definite controversy from the...

chapter 22. FLIGHT
DEMETRI LEFT US IN THE CHEERFULLY OPULENT RECEPTION area, where the woman Gianna was still at her post behind the polished counter. Bright, harmless musique tinkled from hidden speakers.
"Do not leave until dark," he warned us.
Edward nodded, and Demetri hurried away.
Gianna did not seem at all surprised par the exchange, though she did eye Edward's borrowed manteau with shrewd speculation.
"Are toi all right?" Edward asked under his breath, to low for the human woman to hear. His voice was rough—if velvet can be rough—with anxiety. Still stressed par our situation, I imagined....

Edward's POV
___________________________________________________

“Edward, hold me,” Bella whispered in a vulnerable, soft voice.

I swept her into a firm embrace, terrified par her quivering frame, oh how soft and penetrable her skin was! The monster in me purred sadistically, tempting me to bite into her thin flesh. I resisted with a heroic effort, pushing the evil thought away.

“I’m here, love,” I replied in a smooth voice, “Are toi sure that toi want to go through with this?”

She feebly pushed me aside, ou attempted to plus accurately. I took a step back, letting her have her way....

New Moon - When Edward isn't there

posted by sardines

I shouldn't think about her, not now..
I know she followed me into the forest when I left her, maybe she got lost. No, leave it! Bella's not stupid, she will survive. It is for her own good that I'm now trying to find Victoria, so she won't meet any vampires in her life anymore. 'Edward, are toi OK?' Ofcourse, I could have known Jasper would feel my anxious mood. Since I left I didn't pay enough attention to the thoughts around me. 'Sure, Jasper, I'm fine, don't worry about me.' We were running South, where Alice told us she saw Victoria, but we didn't find her trail yet. 'You're worried about...

End of Chapter 5

“Bella! Hospital!” She a dit louder, noticing I made no movement the first time.

I glanced back at her worried face. “What? Why?” Still not moving.

She pointed to my stomach. “That's why!” She glanced towards Edward. “Help her will ya” She a dit as she grabbed my bag. Edward took a couple steps towards me.

“I can help myself” I a dit as I struggled to sit up. He froze, just watching me. I swung my feet over the side of my lit and stood up slowly. I took two steps before the pain stirred.

“Edward!” Alice said, not impressed. I leaned forward, noticing how dizzy...

salut there,
This is a story I started, it takes place after Bella's birthday in New Moon, I'm kinda sure of the direction I want to go in but feedback is always appreciated. This is my first fan fiction ever.

Neither one of us talked on the drive home. I kept my eyes focused on the trees as we sped down the highway. I glanced down at my throbbing hand noticing the red blood staining through the bandage. I reached into my bag and grabbed plus of the gauze that Carlisle packed for me. I felt my whole body still trembling as I wrapped plus gauze around, anything to not be able to see the blood soaking...

What do toi think of this little girl playing Renesmee Cullen?

posted by sapherequeen

One of the pictures of the mother's child....

I recently found these pictures in the Renesmee Carlie Cullen fanclub.

A mother was montrer us pictures of her little girl, saying she thought her daughter would make a great Renesmee. And quite frankly, I agree with her :)

I admit, I don't know a lot about her daughter's jouer la comédie skills. I plan on asking her when I send her a message. But I think her looks go well with Renesmee's; the curly strangely bronze hair, the chocolat brown eyes, and being so beautiful!

Well, basically, this article's purpose is to ask all of toi if this mother should definitely take her daughter to audition for the role...
