NEW MOON: Chapter 13-Killer

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Jacob and Bella talk about him being a werewolf. That's it.

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
We open with Bella deciding to talk to Jacob. She is convinced that he and his pack are killers (even though she has no proof and um, hello, tale called them PROTECTORS) and is going to tell him that she can't condone his behavior. Not because killing is wrong and she's worried about the people either:

I would tell him to his face that I couldn't just overlook what was going on. I couldn't be friends with a killer and say nothing, let the killing continue...That would make me a monster, too.
From New Moon, Chapter 13

Yeah, just so you know this is more evidence against that "Bella is so selfless thing" Twihards keep telling me. Were she selfless she wouldn't be worried about herself and how she felt about the situation. She'd worry about the people that the pack is supposingly going around and killing and what that killing is doing to Jacob and his pack. But again, it's pretty much about her and how she feels about the situation. So, NOT selfless. I also love how she's calling Jacob and his friends monsters. Never saw her call Edward and his kin monsters did you? I'm thinking we have a double standard here, don't you?
Well she gets to Jacob's house and he's asleep (Billy is there but that's not important) so she goes to the beach to wait for him. Vivid description as she walks and waits for him. She thinks how innocent he looked while sleeping and that maybe he's not a monster (don't you love how once again, she focuses on looks and the fact that something so innocent looking couldn't possibly be a monster? Looks can be decieving was obviously not taught to this girl). Jacob then shows up.
Obviously Jacob already knows about the hunters and whatnot, and I must say I particularly LOVED this part:

"You're such a hypocrite, Bella-there you sit, terrified of me! How is that fair?" His hands shook with anger.
From New Moon, Chapter 13

Finally, a character in this series is calling Bella on her crap. Because Jacob is totally and completely right: she is a hypocrite. Along with a lot of other things that will sadly probably never get mentioned seriously in this book again (even Jacob takes back the hypocrite thing later in this chapter, sigh). Anyway, after much arguing Jacob manages to get it through her head that the wolves are not killing people (um, DUH Bella) and then they are okay again.
We also learned that the pack has killed Laurent (duh again, Bella) and yet Bella still refuses to believe that the pack isn't in danger. Sigh. This girl just refuses to believe that vampires aren't gods, doesn't she? But anyway, Bella finally starts to use her head (sort of) and realizes that if Laurent died and the pack isn't doing it then someone else is killing the people. Wow, give that girl a gold star.
She realizes it's Victoria (duh...I probably need to stop saying that but seriously, there is no other appropriate word for how stupid Bella is in this book) and tells Jacob and Jacob takes off for some reason. Then we're back to Bella being emo AGAIN. I really am getting TIRED of this. But Jacob comes back and all is well (sigh, I wish this girl could learn to stand on her own two feet, seriously).
Bella still refuses to believe vampires aren't gods and goes with Jacob and cue bad dialogue about protecting you and not to subtle telling of what werewolves can do. I have to say, I don't understand why she has the werewolves able to read other pack members thoughts. That makes no sense to me, there has never been anything in werewolf mythology about that nor is there anything about wolves being able to do it. It's like Meyer just thought "well this would be keen, let's throw it in! But I don't want him to overshadow Eddiekins so he can only read other werewolves minds". Which in retrospect, is probably what she did.
Meyer has more fun stamping all over mythology and not researching too: werewolves can shift whenever, moon has nothing to do with it. Ugh. I do sort of understand the pack thing, that coincides with the wolf part but all of them automatically doing what Sam says? So not part of science/and or mythos. There is also more corny lines with Jacob and Bella. We learn that Bella still feels pain at hearing Edward's name. I'm sorry but at this point this is ridiculous. It's been what, five/six months? She should be over it by now. At the very least she shouldn't be feeling pain at the mention of his name. Meyer is just being dumb with this now. It was not THAT painful of a break up. She is supposingly with this new guy so she should be GETTING OVER IT. Well, anyway, boring chapter ends with Jacob and Bella off to see the wolf pack.

WORD LIST: acidic, surreptitiously
