Story: May Contain Spoilers (Twilight AND New Moon)

Personal history: Edward’s human life in Chicago was fairly happy and uneventful. His parents were moderately wealthy as his father was a successful lawyer. The biggest worry in his mother’s life was the fact that World War I was raging and Edward was only a year away from the draft, which had been lowered to 18 years of age in August of 1918. By September of that same year, the influenza epidemic hit, claiming the lives of both of Edward’s parents and very nearly taking his own as well. His attending physician was Carlisle Cullen, who saved him by changing him into a vampire. It was Edward’s mother who requested Dr. Cullen save Edward. She seemed to “know” that Carlisle could save him in a special way and begged him to do it. Since that time, Edward has passed as Carlisle’s adopted son or as the younger brother of his wife before the family grew to its current size. He has been to medical school twice, but never practiced. He loves driving fast and collects cars as a hobby. From 1927 until 1931, Edward had a bout of rebellion and went off for a few years on his own away from Carlisle and Esme. He figured that he could drink off of humans if they were truly evil, using his special gifts to avoid the innocent. After a while, he couldn’t “escape the debt of so much human life taken, no matter how justified” and returned to Carlisle and Esme who welcomed him back with open arms. Around 1936, Edward moved to Forks with his family where they encountered the Quileute Indians who have the ability to transform into werewolves. A treaty was arranged stating that the wolves would leave the Cullens alone so long as they didn’t bite any humans and stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places. In 2003 the Cullens returned to Forks. Then in 2005 Edward meets Isabella Swan. Her blood “sings” for him and he becomes infatuated with her. She soon figures out his secret and accepts him as a vampire. They fall in love despite innumerable odds. When Bella becomes the victim of a tracker named James, Edward is forced to drink her blood to stop the venom form spreading through her system. Edward stays with Bella until her disastrous 18th birthday party where he is forced to reevaluate the future of her life with him. He decides that Bella would be better off living a normal life without him and leaves Forks along with his family. He spends his time tracking Victoria all around the southern United States and even ventures into Mexico and South America. When he is told that Bella is dead, he travels to Italy with the intention of committing suicide. Bella and Alice arrive in Italy in time to stop him. He convinces the Volturi to let them all return to Forks with the promise that Bella will be made a vampire. The return to Forks means the return to a normal routine between Edward and Bella. He agrees to change Bella as long as she will marry him. He is then reminded by Jacob Black that the treaty says he is forbidden to bite a human.

Forks, Washington

This is First Beach in La Push, a small Quileute Indian Reservation on Forks, Washington. Bella spends quite a lot of time here in New Moon, especially when she goes cliff diving and almost drowns.

Forks, Washington is a very pretty place, although there is almost always rain or clouds.
