Eclipse: The Play by Adapted By: Elena Two (the alpha prince and his bride full story free .TXT) 📖

a death wish?
Bella: It’s getting worse.
Edward: Altogether out of control. This can’t be the work of just one newborn vampire. What’s going on? No one has explained the rules to them…so who is creating them, then?
Bella: The Volturi?
Edward: As long as they’re close, they might decide to check on you.
Bella: What can we do?
Edward: We need to know more before we can decide that. Perhaps if we can talk to these young ones, explain the rules, it can be resolved peacefully. We’ll wait until Alice has an idea of what’s going on…We don’t want to step in until it’s absolutely necessary. After all, it’s not our responsibility. But it’s good we have Jasper. If we are dealing with newborns, he’ll be helpful.
Scene 17
Bella: What is that?
Edward: Nothing.
Bella: It doesn’t look like nothing.
Edward: Well, I didn’t know if you were going to forgive your friend, or he you, and I wondered if you would still want to ride your bike anyway. It sounded like it was something that you enjoyed. I thought I could go with you, if you wished.
Bella: I wouldn’t be able to keep up with you.
Edward: I’d keep pace with you, Bella.
Bella: That wouldn’t be much fun for you.
Edward: Of course it would, if we were together.
Bella: Edward, if you thought I was going too fast or losing control of the bike or something, what would you do?
Edward: This is something you do with Jacob. I see that now.
Bella: It’s just that, well, I don’t slow him down so much, you know. I could try, I guess…
Edward: Don’t worry about it. I saw Jasper admiring it. Perhaps it’s time he discovered a new way to travel. After all, Alice has her Porsche now.
Bella: Edward, I…
(kiss)
Edward: I said not to worry. But would you do something for me?
Bella: Whatever you need.
Edward: Please?
Bella: I’ll look stupid.
Edward: No, you’ll look smart. Smart enough not to get yourself hurt. There are things between my hands right now that I can’t live without. You could take care of them.
Bella: Okay, fine. What’s that other thing?
Edward: It’s a riding jacket. I hear road rash is quite uncomfortable, not that I would know myself.
Bella: Be honest, how hideous do I look? That bad, huh?
Edward: No, no, Bella. Actually you look…sexy.
Bella: Right.
Edward: Very sexy, really.
Bella: You are just saying that so I’ll wear it. But that’s okay. You’re right, it’s smarter.
Edward: You’re silly. I suppose that’s part of your charm. Though, I’ll admit it, this helmet does have its drawbacks.
(Edward takes off helmet and kisses Bella)
Scene 18
Alice: I have foreseen…Fine. Edward is making me do this. But I did foresee that you would be more difficult if I surprised you.
Bella: In English?
Alice: Don’t be a baby about this. No tantrums.
Bella: No I’m scared.
Alice: So you’re I mean we’re having a graduation party. It’s no big thing. Nothing to freak out over. But I saw that you would freak out if I tried to make it a surprise party and Edward said I had to tell you. But it’s nothing. Promise.
Bella: Is there any point in arguing?
Alice: None at all.
Bella: Okay, Alice. I’ll be there. And I’ll hate every minute of it. Promise.
Alice: That’s the spirit! By the way, I love my gift. You shouldn’t have.
Bella: Alice, I didn’t!
Alice: Oh, I know that. But you will.
Edward: Amazing. How can someone so tiny be so annoying?
Alice: It’s a talent.

Act 2 Scene 1
Edward: You don’t want to be my wife.
Bella: That’s not a question.
Edward: I was worrying about why you felt that way.
Bella: That’s not a question, either.
Edward: Please, Bella?
Bella: The truth?
Edward: Of course. I can take it, whatever it is.
Bella: You’re going to laugh at me.
Edward: Laugh? I cannot imagine that.
Bella: You’ll see. Okay, fine! I’m sure this will sound like some big joke to you, but really! It’s just so…so…so embarrassing!
Edward: I’m not following you.
Bella: I’m not that girl, Edward. The one who gets married right out of high school like some small-town hick who got knocked up by her boyfriend! Do you know what people would think? Do you realize what century this is? People don’t just get married at eighteen! Not smart people, responsible, mature people! I wasn’t going to be that girl! That’s not who I am!
Edward: That’s all?
Bella: Isn’t that enough?
Edward: It’s not that you were…more eager for immortality itself than for just me?
Bella: Edward, there’s no point to forever without you. I wouldn’t want one day without you.
Edward: Well, that’s a relief.
Bella: The thing is, Edward, in my mind, marriage and eternity is not mutually exclusive or mutually inclusive concepts. And since we’re living in my world for the moment, maybe we should go with the times, if you know what I mean.
Scene 2
Edward: Bella? Did I startle you? I’m sorry. I did knock.
Bella: No, no. Have you seen this?
Emmett: Hey, Edward. Ditching, Bella?
Edward: We both are.
Emmett: Yes, but it’s her first time through high school. She might miss something.
Edward: Did you see that they’re considering a serial killer now?
Carlisle: They’ve had two specialists debating that possibility on CNN all morning.
Edward: We can’t let this go on.
Emmett: Let’s go now. I’m dead bored.
Rosalie: Emmett.
Emmett: She’s such a pessimist.
Edward: We’ll have to go sometime.
Rosalie: No.
Carlisle: I’m concerned. We’ve never involved ourselves in this kind of thing before. It’s not our business. We aren’t the Volturi.
Edward: I don’t want the Volturi to have to come here.
Esme: And all those innocent humans in Seattle. It’s not right to let them die this way.
Carlisle: I know.
Alice: What is he rambling about? What are you thinking?
Jasper: Bella, you’re confused.
Emmett: We’re all confused.
Rosalie: Yes, but Bella is more confused than all of us. This whole thing is about her, but she hardly knows anything.
Jasper: How much do you know about me, Bella?
Bella: Not much.
Edward: No. I’m sure you can understand why I haven’t told her that story. But I suppose she needs to hear it now.
Bella: Oh. Jasper, you have a scar exactly like mine.
Jasper: I have a lot of scars like yours, Bella.
Bella: Jasper, what happened to you?
Jasper: The same thing that happened to your hand. Repeated a thousand times. Our venom is the only thing that leaves a scar.
Carlisle: What can we do?
Jasper: If we want to avoid the Volturi’s involvement, we will have to destroy the newborns, and we will have to do it very soon. I can teach you how. Maybe we can lure them out.
Scene 3
Jacob: Hey, Bells.
Bella: Are you alright Jake?
Jacob: Just tired. (falls asleep) What? What?
Bella: It’s just me, Jake. Sorry I woke you.
Jacob: Bella?
Bella: Hey, sleepy.
Jacob: Oh, man! Did I fall asleep? I’m sorry! How long was I out?
Bella: A few Emerils. I lost count.
Jacob: Wow. Sorry about that, really.
Bella: Don’t feel bad. I’m glad you got some sleep.
Jacob: Ugh.
Bella: You’re impossible.
Jacob: Until you heart stop beating, Bella. I’ll be here fighting. Don’t forget that you have options.
Bella: I don’t want options. And my heartbeats are numbered Jacob. The time is almost gone.
Jacob: All the more reason to fight…fight harder, now, while I can.
Bella: Nnnn…..
(Jacob kisses Bella and she is trying to push away.)
Bella: Are you done?
Jacob: Yes.
(Bella pulls her fist back and punches Jacob with all her might and then hears a crack which is her hand breaking.)
Bella: OW! OW!
Jacob: You alright?
Bella: No, dammit! You broke my hand!
Jacob: Bella, you broke your hand. Now stop dancing around and let me look at it.
Bella: Don’t touch me! I’m going home right now!
Jacob: I’ll get my car.
Bella: No thanks. I’d rather walk.
Jacob: Just let me drive you home.
Bella: Fine! Do! I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck, you pushy, obnoxious, moronic DOG! Didn’t I hurt you at all?
Jacob: Are you kidding? If you hadn’t started screaming, I might not have figured out that you were trying to punch me. I may not be made out of stone, but I’m not that soft.
Bella: I hate you Jacob Black.
Jacob: That’s good. Hate is a passionate emotion.
Bella: I’ll give you passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion.
Jacob: Oh, c’mon. That had to be better than kissing a rock.
Bella: Not even remotely close.
Jacob: You could just be saying that.
Bella: But I’m not.
Jacob: You’re just mad. I don’t have any experience with this kind of thing, but I thought it was pretty incredible myself.
Bella: Ugh.
Jacob: You’re going to think about it tonight. When he thinks you’re asleep, you’ll be thinking about your options.
Bella: If I think about you tonight, it will be because I’m having a nightmare.
Jacob: Just think about how it could be, Bella. You wouldn’t have to change anything for me. You know Charlie would be happy if you picked me. I could protect you just as well as your vampire can, maybe better. And I would make you happy, Bella. There’s so much I could give you that he can’t. I’ll bet he couldn’t even kiss you like that, because he would hurt you. I would never, never hurt you, Bella. And your hand was not my fault.
Bella: Jacob, I can’t be happy without him.
Jacob: You’ve never tried. When he left, you spent your entire energy holding on to him. You could be happy if you let go. You could be happy with me.
Bella: I don’t want to be happy with anyone but him.
Jacob: You’ll never be able to be as sure of him as you are of me. He left you once, he could do it again.
Bella: No, he will not. You left me once, too.
Jacob: I never did. They told me I couldn’t tell you that it wasn’t safe for you if we were together. But I never left, never! I used to run around your house at night, like I do now. Just making sure you were okay.
Bella: Take me home. My hand hurts.
Jacob: Just think about it, Bella.
Bella: No.
Jacob: You will, tonight. And I’ll be thinking about you while you’re thinking about me.
Bella: Like I said a nightmare.
Jacob: You kissed me back. Are you okay?
Bella: I did not.
Jacob: I think I can tell the difference.
Bella: Obviously you can’t. That was not kissing back, that was trying to get you the hell off of me, you idiot.
Jacob: Touchy. Almost overly defensive, I would say. I’m really sorry about your hand. Next time you want to hit me, use a baseball bat or a crowbar, okay?
Bella: Don’t think I’ll forget that. Why are you taking me here?
Jacob: I thought you said you were going home?
Bella: Ugh. I guess you can’t take me to Edward’s house, can you?
Jacob: This is your home, Bella.
Bella: Yes, but do any doctors live here?
Jacob: Oh. I’ll take you to the hospital. Or Charlie can.
Bella: I don’t want to go to the hospital. It’s embarrassing and unnecessary. Go home, Jacob.
Jacob: What are you doing?
Bella: I am going to get some ice on my hand, and then I am going to call Edward and tell him to come and get me and take me to Carlisle so that he can fix my hand. Then,
