ECLIPSE: Chapter 18-Instruction

To those wondering about all the updating today, this is the last chapter today. There will be more tomorrow. I'm trying to have this all done by the 30th of this month as I'm going on vacation that day for a week and it seems appropriate since the Eclipse movie also comes out that day (on a much happier note, The Last Airbender comes out the next day ;squee;). So expect lots of updating over the next few days.

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Werewolves and vampires learn how to kill newborns. Bella is horrified by it all. That is all.

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
We open with Bella going home and still horrified about the fighting thing and all the Cullens reassuring her it'll be fine. She and Edward meet in her room and one minute she Edward are falling asleep and then they start yammering away. All the talk reveals something we already know: Victoria didn't steal Bella's shirt. Um...duh? Really, how slow does Meyer think we are? Also, WHO CARES WHO STOLE IT? The point is it's gone and there's an army. How about we focus on the ARMY instead? That's kind of more important?
Bad transition and we're to the part where they're meeting up with the werewolves. We learn that the pack is now ten people. Then it's basically the Cullens showing the wolves how to kill newborns. It's kind of interesting, yet kind of boring at the same time. I mean, it's apparently pretty easy to kill them, so...why can't we just move on with the big battle? Really, does Meyer need to drag this on like she's doing? The answer? No, not really. But she will because she's Meyer.
There's kind of a cute moment with Alice and Jasper fighting (really, these two are way more adorable then Edward and Bella, even if their romance is yet again "love at first sight") Then it basically amounts to the Cullens squaring off for...some reason. I kind of feel like it's showing off mostly, but that's probably just me.
Then the pack goes forward and sniffs all the Cullens to get their scent so they don't make a mistake in battle and kill one of them. Okay. So it's mostly them sniffing the Cullens. Kind of funny and kind of weird at the same time...
They go to leave and Jacob returns in human form (I see excuse for the movie script writer to have Taylor Laughtner half-naked again...not that I disapprove of this mind you, that was about the only way I got THROUGH the boriness that was New Moon) and we once again get another "my dick is bigger than yours" moment with Bella being horrified by something after Charlie. Really, Meyer GET NEW SCENES. Old recycled scenes are GETTING ANNOYING.
Edward and Jacob once more argue back and forth about what to do with Bella (who once more lets them and doesn't say anything, again NOT EQUALS) and there's talk about leaving a false trail or something. I also want to note: a CELL PHONE is mentioned! So they DO exist in this world! Then why don't people, you know, USE THEM?
Chapter ends with planning over with. Ten chapters to go! Yay!

WORD LIST: boisterously, brace (doesn't look right where it's used)
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: My eyes looked down the wary brace of wolves.-This...just doesn't look right, I'm sorry. It's a weird way to say line of wolves. An editor would have caught that and fixed it but we know Meyer is above an editor...
