In 2005 the youth all over the world became obsessed with a fictional romantic story about the thorny love between an ordinary girl Bella and a vampire boy Edward that developed on the pages of the teenage novel called Twilight. This book became a bestseller in many countries in the world creating a huge fan base. The novel was later turned into the tetralogy known as Twilight Saga where the story got an unexpected and intriguing continuation.
Following the success of the novels, several movie adaptations were released starting from 2008 which made the story even more popular. Stephanie Meyer, the author of the book, created an alternative world in Forks, Washington with vampires, who drink human blood, werewolves turning into animals during the full moon, and average humans all trying to live together in peace. Sometimes that works, and sometimes everything turns out to be a complete mess.
That is not public information – usually, humans don’t even suspect what dangerous creatures live among them. Of course, there are legends telling about their existence, but a scarce number of people believes in them. Traditionally, both werewolves and vampires resemble ordinary humans in everyday life, and there are several ways how to spot a vampire. One thing differs this vampire story from others – the sun doesn’t kill these blood-sucking creatures, it makes them glow like precious stones.
A young girl, Isabella Swan, usually referred to as Bella, is forced to move to her father in Forks to finish her school there – her mother, with whom she lived, has planned a journey for her and her new husband. And it feels like the end of the world for the young girl. Bella has to leave her life, friends, and hopes in bright Phoenix, Arizona and continue her last school year in a rainy and gloomy city where her father is the Chief of Police. Despite the dreadful weather, people in Forks are cheerful and hospitable – soon she makes new friends who help her to get used to that new place.
She even gets a couple of admirers among the locals. One of them is Jacob Black, a member of Indian Quileute tribe, who pretty obviously reveals his feelings towards her and he might even get a chance. Bella’s world is completely turned around – on her first day in a new school she meets a strange schoolmate, Edward Cullen, a very mysterious and reserved guy who seems to dislike Bella from the moment he met her.
Bella feels that something is wrong with Edward and tries to find out what. And she has the best chance possible as Edward saves her from being smashed by a van. But you know what is very strange about this story – Edward saved her by stopping the van with only one hand. Being a stubborn girl, Bella soon finds out that local legends about vampires can be true. She asks Jacob to tell her the legends his tribe preserves. Jacobs reveals that most Indians consider them to be vampires, but there are no proofs of their real nature.
Meanwhile, another problem becomes evident – Bella has madly fallen in love with Edward, and he even seems to answer her feelings. The question remains whether Edward is one of those creatures that feed on human blood and if the answer is positive, how they will manage to date? Days are going by, and Bella’s feelings are getting only stronger. Jacob feelings make this uneasy situation even more complicated because his tribe also has a couple of secrets to protect.
