[debussygirl]

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was? The Volturi

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not? Yes, he was too harsh but I can understand that he was under stress and freaking out.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together? It makes sense since they both love Bella.

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation? It would be weird.

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
I thought it was the Volturi. They seemed most likely to sneak in... I was more confused about what they had taken her stuff for if they'd already tracked her. Then I realised it was Victoria

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
Of course he was too harsh. Like Alice says in NM, they all rely on her foresight way too much. You'd think they'd have learnt by now not to rely on it so much! His harshness was understandable though, he goes crazy when Bella's in danger.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
I think it's great. I think Edward is so nice about working with Jake genuinely out of his love for Bella but I think Jake does it more to try and get one up on the "Bloodsuckers" and to keep face, if that makes sense. He wants to try and look better than Edward, even though Edward has the whole selfless thing down

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?
I'd be as happy and proud as I could be considering how terrified I would be at that moment in time, you know, seeing as she just found out someone trying to kill her was in her room LOL

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
I didn't have a clue. I did however realize it had something to do with Bella's missing stuff.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
Yeah, of course he was worried about Bella, but he shouldn't have blamed Alice.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
Kind of touching how their love for Bella is strong enough to make them work together although they hate each other so much.

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?
Awkward.

[-veiled-]

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
- I immediately thought of Victoria!

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
- Not at all. He loves Bella so much & if that means hurting someone in the process...well, I'm sure he will do it.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
- I think it was great at this point, but I wouldn't have minded Edward kicking Jake's butt! :p

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?
- I would have been feeling a little awkward, but at the same time be thinking, "FINALLY!!"

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
I figured it was someone from the Volturi.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
No, he loves Bella so much and is so worried about her...but it is unfair of him to get mad at Alice given all the other things he is asking her to watch. As Alice says, something was bound to slip through the cracks.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
I was shocked. Edward seemed to change his tune pretty abruptly!

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?Confused, as was I. But I also liked Edward even more for his acceptance of their friendship. I also loved when he puts his scent in her hair...made me laugh out loud.

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
I thought of the vampire in Seattle right away, but I thought it was more because he/she was curious. I didn't think about Victoria at all.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
Yes and No. Yes because its not her fault she didn't see - if she could have, she would have wanted to see that. No because he's only 'human' (baha) and he's just worried about Bella.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
I think its really great and mature of them to agree to work together. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?
I would actually feel embarassed that these two guys were both so in love with me that they would put their hatred aside to protect me. Then, I'd feel helpless for not being able to properly help myself and want to become a vampire even more.

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?
I knew it wasn't the Volturi or Victoria but I knew that Victoria had something to do with it. I figured she learned from all her mistakes and after she noticed that the Cullens were back; she realized she needed some help. She wouldn't risk herself so she had to get someone else to do her dirty work to see what her limits were. I didn't think it would have been a newborn though, at the time.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?
Yeah! He was just probably just frustrated about everything, (because they seem to be a step behind)but she can only do so much at one time. Luckily he apologized.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?
I thought 'It's about freakin time' I was waiting on that to happen. It was almost as if I wanted to reach through the book and smack them then shouting 'Work together, idiots, duhhh!'

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?
Since it is Bella, I would have just been glad that they were making an effort since she doesn't want to have to choose between them anymore. It would be better on her. Now if she thought like I did then I would have said what I did above. 'It's about freakin time'

[Jazzy]

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?

I thought it would be someone related to either Victoria or the Volturi, the 2 entities that Bella had to worry about.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?

Yes I think he was a bit harsh. Alice's gift is not a complete science, but at the same time, he was just unleashing his worry and stress on her, but at least he apologized.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?

When it comes to Bella, it's obvious they both love her enough to set aside their differences for a time being.

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?

I would feel flattered that they cared and worried so much about me.

[akire]

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was?

Hmm...I'm not sure I knew. I would have suspected Victoria until Edward said he didn't recognize the scent. A Volturi guardsman?

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not?

Yep. We've heard Alice say before that her visions are not perfect. And we saw in Twilight the way Bella could circumvent them. Anyone who understands the way the visions work could figure out a way to get around them. At the same time, though, you can't blame Edward TOO much for being so upset if he thought Bella was in danger.

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together?

It really showed how what is most important to both of them (Bella) can motivate both to get beyond their own prejudices and hatreds. Maybe even a little more scared than I was before because of the significance the conversation places on the visitor

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation?

Confused, and probably mildly irritated that it took something so potentially catastrophic to get them to be even civil to each other.

[pennybug84]

1. Who did you think the visitor in Bella's room was? I fugured it was no one good obviously but I wasn't sure.

2. Do you think Edward was too harsh on Alice for not seeing the visitor? Why or why not? Yes he was. She can't see everything

3. What do you think about Edward and Jacob’s conversation and their sudden willingness to work together? I was surprised they suddenly were willing to do that.

4. If you were Bella how would you feel about their conversation? I'd be happy but probably a little confused
