New Moon... The 2nd book and movie in the saga.

The next movie/book, New Moon is one of my favorites b/c it speaks on love and loss, plus reuniting, sacrificing danger to save the love of her life, Edward.

  New Moon begins w/Bella going to school and her literature class is studying Romeo and Juliet. Edward introduces the Volturi during class and the teacher makes him recite the sililoquy of Romeo's last words to Juliet. Then at the Cullen house Edward speaks more of the Volturi, the closest thing to Royalty for vampires.

Then comes the birthday party for Bella, who thinks she's growing older by the minute. Of course she wants to be changed to a vampire by Edward, who wants her to remain human.

The birthday party begins afterward, and when Bella opens a gift she gets a papercut. Blood drops to the floor and Jasper, the youngest of all the Cullens vampire wise, smells it and has a major moment of weakness. This leads to Edward and the Cullens leaving Forks and Edward lies to Bella that he doesn't want her to come with them. This leaves Bella in a major depression, describing the situation "as if a huge hole was punched into her chest. He makes her promise not to do anything reckless, which leads to her reckless behavior which in turn, makes her see visions of him and hearing his voice.

During this time she has befriended Jacob, who has gone through struggles of his own, and he leaves Bella as well. In addition, James's mate, Victoria wants to kill Bella because Edward caused the death of her mate.

In her search for the visions, which she is missing, she encounters Laurent in the meadow, which is now dried up, no flowers in bloom. Laurent, who was helpful in the last movie, wants to kill Bella because of her fragrant, tasty blood. I don't want to give too much away, but the wolves make their first appearance here.

Eventually Bella decides to jump off of a cliff, instead of diving like the wolf pack, with Victoria in hot persuit. She jumps, and almost drowns. All of this leads up to Alice visiting the Swan residence. And on top of that Edward, whom Rosalie told about the jump, has told Edward that Bella died. Edward in turn wants to die too, so he visits the Volturi, begging them to kill him. They refuse, so he comes up with a plan to show himself during a festival in Voltura. That's when the excitement really begins... The last clip from New Moon I'm gonna show is this one.

Not the actual background music the movie used but close enough. This movie was special to me because it spoke of love, love lost, utter despair, and reuniting, albeit some danger is present after the reunion. But this movie is worth watching, especially if you're a love story afficionado.

More will be revealed....
