In Which We Revisit Wahmpire Stadium
Edward takes Bella home and reassures her that killing the newborn vamps won't be hard.
The next day they go to Wahmpire Stadium. All of the Cullens are there and ten Werewolves show up, which is two more than we're used two (turns out to be Leah and Seth). Edward translates via mind-reading while Carlisle explains what they're fighting.
Note: They STILL think this has something to do with the Volturi. Argh.
Since Newborn Vamps are very dimwitted but very strong, they tend to stick to frontal assaults. The trick then is to dodge & counter. The Wolves watch the Vamps work through some tactics.
Jacob and Edward start to discuss where to store Bella during the fight. Jacob suggests carrying her, since his scent will cover hers and the Newborns won't sniff too hard on his stank. Alternately, Jacob and Jasper also figure it might be useful to have Bella front and center as bait since the newborns won't be able to resist a lone human snack. Edward vetoes this and they decide to stick Bella up in the mountains with Seth as her bodyguard.
SumUp: C+
The descriptions are fine. Edward's mind-reading trick makes a little sense, but it's still annoying. Bella is useless and in the way. Nobody has put Victoria into the puzzle STILL. It's taking for-ev-er to get to the big climax, which is where I HOPE we'll finally resolve this incessant love triangle.
We know Bella is going to do the third-wife act.
We know Jacob is going to get hurt.
We know nobody important is going to die.
Well, OK we don't know that, but I'd lay money on it. Maybe one of the werewolves will snuffit to demonstrate how powerful the Vampires are. Maybe a Cullen bites it, but I seriously doubt it. No, I think there'll just be wounds to treat and maybe a new treaty or something. Still, nothing significant will come of this, I assure you.
