Chapter Name: Scent

Page Numbers: 214 – 238

Date of Chapter:  June 3, 2006

Summary:
The Chapter starts with Edward leaving, because Jacob is on his way over. When Jacob gets there, Bella finds him wearing only his cut off jeans, and she is slightly put off by the fact that he always seems half naked. Jacob tells her that he has to carry his clothes around with him using a strap that is wrapped around his calf. Jacob decides to get to work and asks Bella where the intruder’s scent was the strongest. When she replies her bedroom, his response is similar to what Edward’s had been.  But Jacob goes up and inspects the area like he was asked to. When Jacob returns he says that he caught the scent.

As Bella washes the dishes, Jacob begins to ask her questions about her and Edward’s relationship, centering on how she feels about him being a vampire and when she is planning on being changed. The anger and sadness of her answer, and the fact that it will be so soon after graduation, causes Jacob to clench down on a knife in his hand and cut himself badly. Bella witnesses his ability to heal quickly and it leaves her astonished. Jacob invites Bella to the reservation for a bonfire party, and Bella tells him she would ask if it was ok. With that Jacob leaves and Edward returns from where he was waiting just outside the house.

Edward asks about the bloody knife Bella accidentally left on the counter after her bleach-filled cleaning frenzy from when Jacob cut himself, and she tells him what happened. Edward takes out a large envelope that he retrieved from her mail and hands it to her. Bella’s application from Dartmouth was accepted without Bella’s knowledge that Edward had even sent it in. Edward tries to persuade her to spend a year at school in an effort to put off her change for as long as possible, but Bella remains unmoved. Her mind is made up – and even waiting until graduation seemed too risky to her.

Bella mentions to Edward about the missing clothes and pillows from her room and asks him to ask Alice where she put them, but he is completely confused. He says that Alice hadn’t taken her things. That’s when the pieces click into place and he realizes that the same intruder that was in her room had taken things that contained her scent to bring back as proof that she had been found. When Edward’s phone rings, it is Carlisle and before Edward can tell him about the new development, Carlisle informs him that the situation in Seattle is getting worse – truthfully it is way out of control. Something needs to be done.   
 
Edward brings up the bonfire party, and Bella says that she wasn’t going to go because of everything that was happening.  Edward suggests that she go anyway because he knows she wants to. Before heading up to the rendezvous point in-between territories to meet up with Jacob, Edward and Bella go back to the Cullen’s garage to pick up her motorcycle so she can bring it back to La Push, where it belongs. She sees that Edward had bought a bike so he could ride with her. The comparison between the new, pristine bike that Edward bought and her beat up rebuilt bike serves as a comparison of her and Edward which makes her sad. Edward realizes that riding was something special between her and Jacob and plays it off as no big deal. His only request is that she wear the protective equipment that he bought her to keep her safe while she is riding. Edward takes Bella to the boundary armed with a cell phone so she can call him when she is ready to come home. Edward leaves her with a deep kiss for Jacob’s benefit and then drives off – but not before Jacob returns the favor by wrapping his arms tightly around Bella so Edward could see. And Bella is not pleased.

Summary:

 Rosalie asks to speak with Bella so she can tell her why she wants her to remain human.  Bella is surprised by this but welcomes Rosalie to talk with her.  Rosalie begins her story by saying it was a simpler time because she was beautiful and everyone watched her and that was all she needed.  Rosalie is candid about her vanity.  Rosalie continues the story telling how she met Royce King the 2nd.  All she ever wanted was to live comfortably and raise a child.  Royce always wanted to be out with Rosalie because he enjoyed they way people looked at them.  Bella takes in what Rosalie is saying with some shock.  Bella wonders if the reason Rosalie has so much more bitterness than the others is because she was so close to having what she wanted.

Rosalie continues the story and Bella can sense that the unpleasant ending is nearing.  Rosalie recaps the evening of her death.  She remembers everything about that night, the coldness of the weather and her worries about having to move the wedding indoors.  Rosalie had been leaving Vera’s house to head home when she ran into Royce.  Royce was drunk and with several of his friends.  Together, they assaulted Rosalie and left her for dead in the street when Carlisle found her.  He worked on her trying to save her but couldn’t.  Rosalie remembers she felt like she was flying and the searing pain.  She explains how she heard Edward express how upset he was that Rosalie had been changed.  After her transformation, Rosalie chose to stay with the Cullens because she did not want to be alone. 

Rosalie then says she has never tasted human blood.  She says that her record is almost as good as Carlisle’s.  Rosalie tells Bella of her revenge, how she killed each of the men who had harmed her.  She also tells Bella how she found Emmett and that she had to save him because he reminded her of the little child she never had.

She changes the topic to explain to Bella why she has treated her so unfairly.  At first it had to do with Edward wanting Bella, because he never showed any interest in Rosalie.  Rosalie then goes on to say that the reason she has trouble with Bella now is because she has the choice to remain human and have all the things Rosalie was denied.  She asks Bella to think about the choice and what it means to her future.

After the conversation Bella feels better about her relationship with Rosalie and she manages to sleep a little.  The next day, on her way to school, Bella is grumpy with Alice, who is trying to plan something for the evening.  Bella approaches the school and is greeted by Mike who asks her to hang out that night.  Their conversation is interrupted by a loud roaring sound.  Bella looks up to see Jacob on his motorcycle.  Bella makes a run for Jacob and sees Alice in the distance snarling.

Edward goes away hunting with Emmett and Jasper leaving Alice in charge of watching Bella.  Bella is hoping to keep her time occupied by working and helping Angela.  Unfortunately when she gets to Newton’s they don’t need her to work and a flyer saying “Save the Olympic Wolf” causes Bella to head straight to La Push.

During dinner that evening Edward, shockingly, brings up the soon to expire airline vouchers to Charlie.  This insights an argument between Bella and her father, ending in Bella announcing that she will go to see her mother if she wants. 

The evening soon winds down with a quick trip to the Cullen house and a visit with Esme and a demonstration in vampire chess before Bella returns home to find Charlie anxious to have a talk with her about intimacy which leads to massive amounts of embarrassment for both Charlie and Bella.  When Charlie is satisfied that he has received the answer he wants, Bella is freed from the situation and goes to her room.  Bella finds that she is too wound up to relax, and hatches a plan to drive to La Push to visit Jacob.  Charlie is pleased with the idea and gladly lets Bella go, even knowing this will mean she may be late for curfew.  Unfortunately when Bella tries to start her truck she is met with silence, and soon discovers she is not alone in the cab of her truck.  Quietly turning some mysterious object between his fingers in the darkness, Edward quietly says, "Alice called."  He then begins to expound on the theory behind why Alice cannot see a werewolf with her abilities.  He calmly states that he will return her truck to working order by morning if she decides to drive herself to school.  Conceding that she may close her window if she chooses not to see him tonight. 

Bella storms into the house announcing that her truck won’t start, that she is tired, and is going to bed.  She does indeed slam her window shut indicating she doesn’t want to see Edward after his stopping her from going to La Push. Moments later, she opens the window as wide as it will go.
