Daybreak

I had the misfortune to re-read Twilight today, as I was being lazy and refused to get out of bed and was bored. The edition I was reading had a sample chapter from the next book, New Moon, where Bella has a 'nightmare' about growing old with Edward while he remained young and Vampiric.

When I first read that chapter, I mused to myself that Bella would get so bored of Edward watching her sleep, telling her off for making her own decisions and staring at her like she's lunch well before she becomes an old lady, but when I heard that Bella indeed marries the boresome Vamp and becomes one herself, I despaired for her. I don't particularly like her as a person, but the thought that she would be stuck for eternity looking like an anaemic 18-year-old and not being taken seriously by her husband and his family would be so, so irritating. So, without any further ado, I present to you a secret chapter from "Stephenie Meyer"'s forthcoming book Daybreak...in which SM explores a new style of writing, and regrets having her heroine stuck with a handsome, yet boring individual for evermore.

I do know that S.Meyer's vampires can be seen in mirrors and photographed, but artistic license in this story and traditional vampiric lore says they can't. ;)
