Reading for Sunday, November 9

Today I read from page 197 - 498. Life goes on as normal for a girl in love with a vampire. They exchange their personalities while going 100+ mph on the road to school every morning. (Edward has very good reflexes.) She meets his family, and they are all to happy to meet her. She learns that this family of vampires doesn't feast on humans. They survive on animals only. One day Alice, Edward's sister, foresees a thunderstorm because of her special power of futuresight. Jasper, Edward's brother, can change the feelings of those around him, and Edward can sense what people are thinking, although not Bella for some reason. They are all ecstatic because it gives them an excuse to play baseball. This is only possible in a storm because, since they are so abnormally strong, the sound of the ball hitting the bat is amazingly loud. While they play, another group of vampires comes upon them, as Alice also foresaw. They will abide by they law of not hunting in the town, but as the wind changes, one of the group of three catches a whiff of Bella's human scent. They scare him off, but Edward has seen his mind and knows that this man is a tracker. He chooses his prey carefully and will stop at nothing to get it. They do evasive action to get Bella out of town. They take her to Pheonix to keep in touch with her mom. She calls home to check on her mom, but only gets a message. Apparently this tracker is better than they thought, and has traced them to Pheonix, so they try to get on a plane to get out of town. At this time, however, Bella escapes and heads to the ballet hall where they have agreed to meet. She thought he had her mom hostage, and that is why she went alone, but he had bluffed in order to achieve her. He goes in for the attack and Bella faints. When she wakes up the Cullens have found her, and plan to help. She turns out find, and they all head back to Forks to resume the life they have been given.
