Chapter 23 ~ The Truth

[marielle]

oooooh I really love this chapter...
I'd cryed al the way through, I thought it was so sad for edward, that she didn't believe him...

1. it was so funny when bella thought that she was death...and edward couldn't convince her other wise...It would be every girl heaven with your one true love...wouldn't it??

2. I can't even remember he talked about odds... he must then have talked about the odds it wouldn't be bella's funeral.

3. bad plan all the way.... I don't understand why he had to be so smug about his plan... he can't hide Bella because he can't leave Bella, so the volturi would always find him.....he should have thought of that...

4. Edward was I believe shocked by Bella's decision but at the same time thinking of a way out of it...
Bella I think just had it with edward thinking only about what he want, and this was her way of showing him that it wasn't only about him anymore...as she said...

1. When Bella thinks that she has died she states, "If I was in hell, you wouldn't be with me." What do you think she means by that?
Of course, she means Edward is much too good a person to go to hell.

2. In the part where Edward is telling Bella that he should have been more careful before he went to Italy, he says, "What was I supposed to think when the boy said Charlie was at the funeral? What are the odds?" Edward contemplates "the odds" what do you think he is thinking about then?
The odds always seem to be against them.

3. Edward has a plan for if and when the Volturi come to check on Bella. Do you think the Cullens would actually have a chance against them on their own?
Nope. I'm not saying the Volturi may not also suffer a signifigant loss, but the Cullens would certainly loose.

4. At the end of the chapter Bella decides to put her mortality to a vote. What do you think made her come to this decision? What is Edward thinking when he hears why she wants to go to his house?
It probobly dawned on her that there were other vampires that could change her, and if she did become a vampire, it wouldn't only be her and Edward for all eternity; she would be with the other Cullens too. Edward was probobly thinking what he said aloud; that he would humor her but had no intention of letting her become a vampire.
