―So pretty,‖ he said. He left his hand against my cheek.
6. THE DEAD WEATHER, ―ROCKING HORSE‖
Pages 57–58 ―I see the little girl made it, too,‖ said a new voice, and I shuddered because it was Raoul. I felt a little bit of relief that he didn‘t know my name, but mostly I just felt horrified that he‘d noticed me at all.
―Yeah, she followed me.‖ I couldn‘t see Diego, but I knew he was shrugging.
―Aren‘t you the savior of the hour?‖ Raoul said snidely.
―We don‘t get extra points for being morons.‖…
―Interesting attitude you got, Diego. You think that Riley likes you so much he‘s gonna care if I kill you. I think you‘re wrong. But either way, for tonight, he already thinks you‘re dead.‖
7. REFUSED, ―NEW NOISE‖
Page 113 Riley had better control of them than I had thought possible.
Still, it was mostly repetition. I noticed Riley saying the same things over and over and over again. Work together, watch your back, don"t go at her head-on; work together, watch your back, don"t go at him head-on; work together, watch your back, don"t go at her head-on. It was kind of ridiculous, really, and made the group seem exceptionally stupid. But I was sure I would have been just as stupid if I‘d been in the thick of the fight with them rather than watching calmly from the sidelines with Fred.
It reminded me in a way of how Riley had drilled into us our fear of the sun. Constant repetition.
8. BLUE OCTOBER, ―WHAT IF WE COULD‖
Pages 89–90 And I suddenly realized something stupendously obvious. It was the solution that had tickled the edges of my understanding before, when I was tracking the vampire herd to this place with Diego….
We didn‘t have to come back the other night! We shouldn"t have! Why hadn‘t I thought of it then?…
We could disappear, and Riley would have to make do with nineteen vampires, or make some new ones quick. Either way, not our problem.
I couldn‘t wait to tell Diego my plan. My gut instinct was that he would feel the same.
Hopefully.
9. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, ―SICK, SICK, SICK‖
Pages 105–106 His face was not twisted in rage, the way it usually was when he was angry; it was calm and cold, smooth and beautiful, his mouth curled at the edges into a small smile. I suddenly had the impression that this was a new Riley. Something had changed him, hardened him, but I couldn‘t imagine what could have happened in one night to create that cruel, perfect smile.
10. SILVERSUN PICKUPS, ―THE ROYAL WE‖
Page 115 Kristie and Raoul growled, and both of their companies followed suit immediately. I was surprised to see it, but they did look like an army in that moment. Not that they were marching in formation or anything, but there was just something uniform about the response. Like they all were part of one big organism.
I could see that the idea of a real fight — of being not only allowed but encouraged to rip and burn — was almost as exciting as hunting.
Pages 133–134 It took them a minute, but everyone started to realize that this was it, and they got quieter and more fierce. I could see that the idea of a real fight — of being not only allowed but encouraged to rip and burn — was almost as exciting as hunting. It appealed to people like Raoul and Jen and Sara.
11. MEESE, ―COUNT ME OUT‖
Fred‘s perspective
Pages 136–137 ―You‘re not going?‖
Fred shook his head. ―Of course not. It‘s obvious we‘re not being told what we need to know. I‘m not going to be Riley‘s pawn…. I‘m out. I‘m going to explore on my own, see the world.‖
12. METRIC, ―BLINDNESS‖
Page 143 But it didn‘t feel like I had a choice. I headed south in a flat-out sprint again. I had to go get Diego. Drag him away if it came to that. We could catch up with Fred. Or take off on our own. We needed to run. I would tell Diego how Riley had lied. He would see that Riley had no intention of helping us fight the battle he‘d set up. There was no reason to help him anymore….
And then I heard the snarling and screaming and screeching explode from ahead and I knew the fight was happening and I was too late to beat Diego there. I only ran faster. Maybe I could still save him.
13. DAN MANGAN, ―SET THE SAILS‖
Pages 162–163 I was of two minds about survival anyway. I didn‘t want to die, I didn‘t want pain, but what was the point? Everyone else was dead. Diego had been dead for days.
His name was right on my lips. I almost whispered it aloud. Instead, I gripped my skull with both hands and tried to think about something that wouldn‘t hurt.
O ne of the things I most enjoy about Twilight fans is their creativity. I remember the first time I saw a piece of original artwork inspired by my book…. I was speechless. I was so flattered and impressed by the talent and effort that had been spent on illustrating my story. Since then, I"ve seen thousands of original drawings, paintings, and even videos, and I always love getting to experience what the fans are seeing in their heads when they read. Here is just a small sample of the talent and imagination that the fans bring to the Twilight world.

As in moviemaking, during the process of writing and editing a book, some scenes are cut. This section includes several scenes that were once part of the Twilight Saga. Think of them as similar to the outtakes in the special-features section of a DVD. (Other outtakes and materials are available at www.stepheniemeyer.com.)
―BADMINTON‖
This is an outtake from chapter 11 of Twilight. The scene gives a vivid picture of Bella‘s legendary clumsiness, and an extra peek at Mike Newton.
I walked into the gym, light-headed, wobbly. I drifted to the locker room, changing in a trancelike state, only vaguely aware that there were other people surrounding me. Reality didn‘t fully set in until I was handed a racket. It wasn‘t heavy, yet it felt very unsafe in my hand. I could see a few of the other kids in class eyeing me furtively. Coach Clapp ordered us to pair up into teams.
Mercifully, some vestiges of Mike‘s chivalry still survived; he came to stand beside me.
―Do you want to be a team?‖ he asked cheerfully.
―Thanks, Mike — you don‘t have to do this, you know.‖ I grimaced.
―Don‘t worry, I‘ll keep out of your way.‖ He grinned. Sometimes it was so easy to be fond of Mike.
It didn‘t go smoothly. I tried to stay clear of Mike so that he could keep the birdie in play, but Coach Clapp came by and ordered him to remain on his side of the court so I could participate. He stayed, watching, to enforce his words.
My racket bounced back from the net with surprising strength, popping out of my hand and glancing off my forehead before whacking Mike in the shoulder as he rushed forward to get the birdie I had completely missed.
With a sigh, I stepped into a more central place on the court, holding my racket upright, if still gingerly. The girl on the other team sneered maliciously as she served the birdie — I must have injured her during the basketball section — lobbing it just a few feet past the net, directly toward me. I sprung gracelessly forward, aiming my swing in the direction of the little rubber pest, but I forgot to take the net into account. My racket bounced back from the net with surprising strength, popping out of my hand and glancing off my forehead before whacking Mike in the shoulder as he rushed forward to get the birdie I had completely missed.
Coach Clapp coughed, or muffled a laugh.
―Sorry, Newton,‖ he mumbled, ambling away so we could return to our former, less dangerous, positions.
―Are you okay?‖ Mike asked, massaging his shoulder, just as I was rubbing my forehead.
―Yeah, are you?‖ I asked meekly, retrieving my weapon.
―I think I‘ll make it.‖ He swung his arm in a circle, making sure he still had full range of motion.
―I‘ll just stay back here.‖ I walked to the back corner of the court, holding my racket carefully behind my back.
―EMMETT AND THE BEAR
Originally this piece was to be in the Twilight epilogue. Although Emmett‘s backstory is touched on in chapter 14 of Twilight, this scene gives Emmett‘s take on his encounter with the bear — and first meeting with Rosalie — in his own words.
I was surprised to find a strange kinship growing between myself and Emmett, especially since he had once been the most frightening to me of them all. It had to do with how we had both been chosen to join the family; we‘d both been loved — and had loved in return — while we were human, though very briefly for him. Only Emmett remembered — he alone really understood the miracle that Edward remained to me.
We spoke of it for the first time one evening as the three of us lounged on the light sofas of the front room, Emmett quietly regaling me with memories that were better than fairy tales, while Edward concentrated on the Food Network — he‘d decided he needed to learn to cook, to my disbelief, and it was rough going without the proper sense of taste and smell. After all, there was something that didn‘t come naturally to him. His perfect brow furrowed as the celebrity chef flavored yet another dish according to taste. I repressed a smile.
―He was finished playing with me then, and I knew I was about to die,‖ Emmett remembered softly, winding up the tale of his human years with the story of the bear. Edward paid us no attention; he‘d heard it before. ―I couldn‘t move, and my consciousness was slipping away, when I heard what I thought was another bear, and a fight — over which would get my carcass, I supposed. Suddenly it felt like I was flying. I figured I‘d died, but I tried to open my eyes anyway. And then I saw her‖—his face was incredulous at the memory; I empathized entirely—―and I knew I was dead. I didn‘t even mind the pain. I fought to keep my eyelids open — I didn‘t want to miss one second of the angel‘s face. I was delirious, of course, wondering why we hadn‘t gotten to heaven yet, thinking it must be farther away than I‘d expected. I kept waiting for her to take flight. And then she brought me to God.‖ He laughed his deep, booming laugh. I could easily comprehend anyone making that assumption.
―I‘d had a little too much fun in my twenty human years, so I wasn‘t surprised by the fires of hell.
―I thought what happened next was my judgment. I‘d had a little too much fun in my twenty human years, so I wasn‘t surprised by the fires of hell.‖ He laughed again, and I shivered; Edward‘s arm tightened around me unconsciously. ―What surprised me was that the angel didn‘t leave. I couldn‘t understand how something so beautiful would be allowed to stay in hell with me — but I was grateful. Every time God came to check on me, I was afraid he would take her away, but he never did. I started to think maybe those preachers who talked about a merciful God might have been right after all. And then the pain went away… and they explained things to me.
― They were surprised at how little disturbed I was over the vampire issue. But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?‖ I nodded, agreeing completely, as he continued. ―I had a bit more trouble with the rules…. ‖ He chuckled. ―You had your hands full with me at first, didn‘t you? Emmett‘s playful nudge to Edward‘s shoulder set us both rocking.
Edward snorted without looking away from the TV.
―So you see, hell‘s not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you,‖ he assured me mischievously. ―When he gets around to accepting the inevitable, you‘ll do fine.‖
Edward‘s fist moved so swiftly that I didn‘t see what knocked Emmett sprawling over the back of the couch. Edward‘s eyes never left the screen.
―Edward!‖ I scolded, horrified.
―Don‘t worry about it, Bella.‖ Emmett was unruffled, back in his seat. ―I know where to find him.‖ He looked over me toward Edward‘s profile. ―You‘ll have to put her down sometime,‖ he threatened. Edward merely snarled in response, without looking up.
―Boys!‖ Esme‘s reproving voice called sharply down the stairs.
― Romeo and Juliet‖
This quote was the original epigraph for New Moon. The quote actually used, also from Rome
o and Juliet, foreshadows more of the danger and potential heartbreak in the book, while the original choice emphasized the romance of the story.
Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine
