Family Fued

I have just started the second book in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, New Moon. The book starts out with a bang. Edward invites Bella to his families house for her birthday, although the last thing she wants is to celebrate because to her it only symbolizes herself growning apart from Edward. However, Bella reluctantly goes to Edwards house for dinner with his family, and a kind gesture quickly turns into a deadly situation. When Bella accidently cuts her finger on some giftwrap, Edwards brother, Jasper, is drawn to the scent of her blood and ravenously jumps at her. Edward and his parents fight Jasper off, but just barely. Bella feels horrible about the whole situation and begs Edward to let it go. Edward on the other hand, cannot bear the thought of Bella being in danger because of him. The first real challenge in Edward and Bella's relationship has shown itself, now all thats left is to see how they react.
