Twilight Post 2

When the nomadic vampires (Victoria, James, and Laurent) arrive, Bella notices obvious differences between the them and the Cullens. They walk cat-like, have red eyes, and, of course, hunt humans. The scene is very tense as soon as James realizes Bella is human. Once they are able to drive away, Edward loses control of his emotions for the first time in the book. Edward usually acts cool-headed, but he now acts as though the only option is to run away from James for as long as possible. When Bella shares her plan to tell Charlie she's going to Phoenix, Edward lets up a little. Alice convinces Edward to leave Bella with her and Jasper. Edward's initial reaction really shows how much Bella means to him. Edward can't bear to risk Bella getting hurt.
