And then Edward stepped out from the trees, his skin faintly glowing, his eyes black and dangerous. He held up one hand and beckoned me to come to him. The wolf growled at my feet. I took a step forward, toward Edward. He smiled then, and his teeth were sharp, pointed.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.131

My subconscious had dredged up exactly the images I’d been trying so desperately to avoid. I was going to have to face them now.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.132

It was a relief, that one small entry, the one myth among hundreds that claimed the existence of good vampires.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.135

There was no rational explanation for how I was alive at this moment.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.137

Could the Cullens be vampires? Well, they were something. Something outside the possibility of rational justification was taking place in front of my incredulous eyes. Whether it be Jacob’s cold ones or my own superhero theory, Edward Cullen was not… human. He was something more.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.138

Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.139

Because when I thought of him, of his voice, his hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of his personality, I wanted nothing more than to be with him right now.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.139

Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.140

I should be afraid — I knew I should be, but I couldn’t feel the right kind of fear.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.141

Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.142

I never noticed before — your hair has red in it.
Mike Newton, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.143

Why couldn’t I ever have a pleasant conversation with Mike anymore without it getting awkward?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.144

I think… and if you ever repeat what I’m saying right now I will cheerfully beat you to death, but I think that would hurt Jessica’s feelings.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 7, p.144
