Bella Swann and vampire Edward Cullen have declared their love for each other, but after an incident where she pricks her finger, Edward decides he must leave Bella for good. As time moves on Bella's friendship with Native American Jacob develops. Bella still finds herself under threat from vampires, but Jacob (who is also a werewolf) saves her. After leaping into an ocean, Edward fears that Bella is dead and asks the vampire aristocracy in Italy, the Vulturi, to let him die. They refuse and demand that Bella die instead. They relent when they discover that Bella has powers of her own, but insist that Edward change Bella into a vampire. Edward says he will change Bella, but only if she marries him.
