A Twilight Kiss

Since Wuthering Heights was featured prominently in the Eclipse book, I downloaded an online version of the tragic love story of Heathcliff and Catherine from publicliterature.org in preparation for writing the film script.

A part of me briefly wondered why I don’t recall reading the English classic. Upon reaching Chapter 3 of Wuthering Heights, I remembered why (scaredy-cat that I am, I had pushed the memory aside).

Here’s the passage that made me stop reading immediately.

SEQ . INT. Yellow Porsche. Bella wakes up to hear a private conversation between Alice and Jasper. Bella is still wearing Jacob’s jacket.

ALICE
I think Bella is the only chance. But, the odds aren’t good. Don’t follow me. I promise, Jasper. One way or another, I’ll get out… And I love you.

Alice cuts off the connection.

ALICE
I hate lying to him.

BELLA
What do you mean?

ALICE
I promised him I would get out before they killed me, too. Bella, let me be very clear. None of us may survive this.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Bella pauses at the edge of the forest. She turns to head back to her truck when she hears pitiful sounds. Concerned, Bella ventures further into the forest. She halts when she sees a dark figure. Then she recognizes him.

BELLA
Laurent!

LAURENT
Forgive me, Bella. When I saw you pass by, I couldn’t resist trying to get your attention.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of running of what appears to be “human” legs, closely followed by the four-legged kind. More join the hunt until there are at least 5 wolves.

SEQ . EXT. La Push beach. The “human” legs run into the water. Wolf Jacob follows then halts abruptly, turns back, acknowledges the Alpha, and stands at his side. The whole pack stares out to the open sea where the silhouette of a strong swimmer is visible. The pack howls a warning for the intruder.

SEQ 01. INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella is in front of the mirror staring at her own image. Edward enters the bedroom, and kisses her gently. As they kiss, Bella ages until she turns to dust, which is blown away by the wind.

BELLA VO (Voice Over)
I’m not afraid of getting older. I’m just scared of losing Edward. I want to be with him forever.

SEQ 02. INT. Cullen’s Dining Room. The room is decorated profusely with pink flowers and candles. The Cullens are gathered around the birthday cake with the number 18 on top.

ALICE
(holding camera) Smile, Bella! It’s your 18th birthday!
