Utterly thankful and grateful he was and said to me
If ever I needed any help from him
Before he could finish offering me his help
I said in my mind that the only help
Only favor he could ever do to me
Was to give Bella completely to me
“This I can’t, its entirely in Bella’s power
Jacob Black, I am a rather quick learner
I don’t make a single mistake twice
I will forever stay, she will forever be mine
Unless her mind she changes
And to go away she orders me”
I then came to the real thing
I reminded him the points of treaty
That the treaty will be completely broken at the time
If the Cullens bite a human, it isn’t kill, it just says “bite”’
And suddenly Bella became utterly angry
And comprehension dawned on me
102
So she had already decided to join the Cullen family
I was shaking, trembling trying to control my mind and body
Anger burned through every cell of my body
Soon Charlie called and they had to leave
What she was doing was insane, intolerable
She was giving up her life for that deceiving monster
I couldn’t understand what she sees in him
I couldn’t think why she could possibly believe him
I saw my destiny going away with him
And I knew that her destiny she considered him
But that day I promised myself one thing
That “I will always be there when she needs me
No matter what, their love won’t affect our friendship”
As I was doubtless, completely confident that she too needed me

RENESMEE’S
LULLABY BY JACOB
BLACK
See how moonlight is playing with your curls
The moon is smiling on seeing you, there up above
How rosy are your cheeks, how your eyes keep shining
In a sweet voice you speak, like bells chiming
Neither a vampire nor a human
Could ever be this much beautiful
See how dimples play on your cheeks
You are more enchanting than fairies
You were growing so quickly
It made me so much worried
But now I know that
At youth you will stop to age
Sleep, my beautiful, sleep
And see some really pretty dreams
And then you can show them
All to me by placing your hand
On me; my mind is always welcoming
You to come into and have fun with me
104
I have never been able to
Show anyone my love completely
You will be amazed to see
How much I am capable of loving
I will be your big brother
When you are small and little
I will take so much care of you
No harm will ever come near you
And when you will be a growing teen
I will be your best friend
By your side always staying
Supporting you; on me you can always depend
Then as you stop ageing
Still you will be the only one
Who will be in my heart living
For my love you will be the one
I, a werewolf, and you
Half vampire, half human
Together will start, me and you
In love history a new chapter
So sleep, my love, sleep
Free of any care
At your side I will forever be
To your heart, so near
105
Bella and Edward
Me and you
Will live forever
With hopes anewed

AN ACCOUNT OF VAMPIRE POWERS
Edward Cullen
He is a mind reader
All the thoughts in your head
He can easily hear
Whether they are good or bad
Bella Cullen
She has the power to shield her mind
So she is called a shield
No one can penetrate her mind
Except for Renesmee
Renesmee Cullen
Has opposite powers of Edward and Bella
She can show you her thoughts by touching you
No one can block her not even Bella
You can’t stop her even if you are a shield too
Alice Cullen
Oh God! She can see the future
Which depends on people’s decisions
107
Change of decision can change the future
But knowing everything already gives a great impression
Jasper Hale
He can control the emotions of people
Can brighten or sadden your mood
Can calm you down when you are anxious
He can make you feel sleepy, too
Victoria
She had an amazing ability
To escape the situations completely deadly
James
He was a skilled tracker
But he was killed by Edward
Kate
She will give you high voltage electric shocks
By touching you with her bare palms
Later she had shifted this power
To her whole body, what a miracle!
Eleazar
He can see the supernatural powers possible
In both the vampires as well as humans
108
Benjamin
He can control the basic elements
Air, water, fire, earth; all of them
Maggie
She can tell when someone is lying
And when the truth someone is telling
Siobhan
Although she doesn’t regard this as a power
But when she plans something to happen in a particular way
Then automatically her plan becomes successful
And the thing happens as she says
Zafrina
She can make people see
What she wants them to see
All other views and surroundings fade away
And you see everything in her thinking’s way
Alistair
A tracker, though not nearly as precise and efficient as Demetri
He just feels an elusive pull towards whatever he is seeking
109
Aro
His power is very much similar to Edward’s
But he needs a physical contact to hear one’s thoughts
But unlike hearing only the present thoughts like Edward
He can listen to each and everything a person has ever thought
Marcus
He reads the strength of ties
Among humans as well as vampires
And looks for any weak points
Alec
He can make people lose all their senses
Sight, touch, speaki
ng, feeling, hearing
So that you may be burning in fire and dying without even knowing
Thus, you can’t take any action against your enemy
Jane
She can torture one to death
By just looking into one’s eyes
She makes people experience a torture so immense
That can even kill vampires
110
Demetri
He is the tracker
Who is the best ever
Rinnata
Rinnata is also a shield
She can shield herself physically
And needs physical contact to shift
On other people her protective shield
Chelsea
She has influence over emotional ties between people
She can both loosen and secure these ties
Bonded to the Volturi may feel those people
Want to belong, want to please, to give up their lives
111
WHO IS HE??
He has the impossible speed and strength
The eye color shifting from gold to black and back again
The inhuman beauty, the pale cold skin
And at lunch he never seems to eat
He moves with a disturbing grace
He sometimes speaks with unfamiliar cadences and phrases
He skipped the class on the day of blood typing
He hadn’t said no to the beach trip till he heard where they were going
He seemed to know what everyone around him was thinking except Bella
He’d said, “What if I’m the bad guy?” and had warned Bella
He is extremely completely perfect
He has not at all any defect
A Greek god of beauty
Carved in some unknown stone
Very loving and extremely sweet
He is the right one for you
You will drown in his gold eyes
Will be mesmerized by his honey voice
When he will play piano for you
Breathing won’t be remembered by you
He has mesmerizing musical voice
And never ever gets any tired
He is the son of Dr. Carlisle
Once he had gone real wild
112
He never sleeps
He doesn’t need to breathe
He smells very tempting
Just like sunshine and honey
He is venomous
He is immortal
Yes! Yes! You are right
He is our Edward Cullen!
113
CHARLIE ON BELLA’S
WEDDING
As I saw the daughter of mine
Coming down the stairs
Flashed before my eyes
All the past moments
Her childhood I remember
All the playful moments with her
She had been a naughty child never
Nor she did mischief ever
And how girls grow up so quickly
One moment they are eating from your hand
And next, food for you they are cooking
That’s also what happened with my Bella
And the most difficult time comes
When your daughter returns home and its evident
That with some guy she has fallen in love
How every father prays that the guy be the one
The one he is also looking for
The one who deserves his daughter
Who is always the cause of happiness for
His daughter and sincerely loves her
114
Who gives her all she wants
So much loves her that becomes he
Her everything, never thinks at all
To hurt her even a least bit
My daughter was head over heels in love
With Edward Cullen; the son of Dr. Carlisle
He was her everything, her sole pure love
She used to say that he was her entire life
But in my heart there was some restlessness
Bella had completely forgotten others in her life
It was wrong, an obsession, said my subconscious
Only Edward was on her mind all the time
But he left her after few months
She was broken, lost completely
But still only him she loved
What to do? I was confused completely
I had been afraid of what
Had thus finally happened
By losing Edward Cullen
Bella’s life was moving towards its end
I could not see her like this
In such a pain she was in
About which I could do nothing
But a hope I found in Jacob; although just a little
115
Jacob dearly loved her
He started to spend his time with her
Now she was becoming a little better
But a miracle, alas! Couldn’t occur
A miracle that would make her
Forget all her pains
A miracle that would make her
Happy altogether again
Because she just couldn’t change her mind
She just loved and loved and missed Edward
Although she was almost dead, barely alive
But the little life in her was still the memories of Edward
She was then for 3 days gone
And when returned Edward was with her
I couldn’t understand all this at all
But her spirit, her life was back in her
I just couldn’t trust Edward anymore
Even though he was the nicest guy I had ever seen
He had left once, he would do it no more
There was nothing to give guarantee
Moreover Edward was too serious a man
I wanted her to live with Jacob
Who had more spirit, fun and
Also he was trust worthy, thus better
116
But now when I see her
Coming down the stairs
With happiness was glinting the face of her
As if her destiny was about to be hers
So beautiful she looked
Like an innocent angel
At this moment so much I loved
To see that too happy was my angel
And all the time since his return
Edward had been completely honest,
Faithful, kind, respectful, giving love
To her; so peace drowned my chest
I was happier than she was now
I gave her and Edward all my blessings
May they always be happy together from now
Away all their pains may flee
May their faces always shine with glee
Although she had not always lived with me
But a different feeling, I also felt in me
She was no more the little girl of her daddy
Now she was mature and married
May this decision of hers
Proves to be right and always
Keep her happy, wipes away all her tears
117
A TORN SAM ULLEY
Oh God! I was in a difficult situation
Completely lost, d
rowned in confusion
Since this werewolf thing had happened to me
It seemed like I had been seeing a horrible dream
First the irritation, the harshness of phasing
Then to gain control very hardly working
Moreover, alone in this situation; having none like me
To whom I could talk about this, my pains I share with
And my love life was falling apart
Since school I was in love with Leah
I was about to propose her to marry me
When this horrible stuff happened to me
And as if I was destined to be doomed
A thing named imprinting existed too
It snatched my Leah from me
As I had imprinted on Emily
I didn’t do it deliberately
I just had no power over this
It was such a strong attraction
Towards Emily that everything else became forgotten
118
I felt an intense pull towards her
I could think of no one but her
Thus I had fallen in love with her completely
Leah was thus deceived, broken by me
Now whenever she looked at me
Her eyes always blamed me of deceiving
I had destroyed her life; it was already too much a pain
That another thing happened to rip me apart again
That day I was standing
Too close to Emily
