How old is bree in eclipse

I had to think about that while I was pacing the plot: Bella is at this point, the newborns are doing this. To keep it all straight, eventually I made a calendar of the months of May and June—which is all Eclipse deals with—and wrote down on each square what was going on with Bella that day and what was happening in Seattle.

So the story of the newborns was always a big part of the story of Eclipse. And it made me kind of sad that there was no way to express any of that in the book. Bree is the only newborn mentioned by name in Eclipse, the only newborn who has contact with the Cullens aside from being killed by them , and the only newborn who encounters the Volturi in the clearing. She lives the longest, so she is the narrator who can tell the full story. She was a natural choice to chronicle the story of the newborns.

Once I started writing from her perspective, she really came alive. So much so that, as the inevitable end got closer, it was really depressing going ahead. Before Bree, the saddest was Walter in The Host. All I knew was that it was 80, words less than most of my novels. So when I was approached by the idea of publishing it as a standalone novella, it seemed like a great opportunity. That has some limitations; when there is so much going on off-stage so to speak , it leaves a lot of mysteries.

The viewer can see things—like the wolves hunting Victoria in New Moon—that the reader only gets hints of. For the movie to work, we have to see and understand some of these things. After years of abuse, Bree became quiet and isolated herself from everyone, and she ran away from her home shortly before her 16th birthday. Bree took a bus ride to Seattle, as that was the only trip she could afford, and life got even tougher after that. One day, Riley found her looking for food in the trash bins behind a restaurant and offered her a burger, but he took her to a dark alley where Victoria attacked her and turned her into a vampire.

She had a hard time adapting to this new life and especially to her coven, who were a bunch of violent newborns, one of which ripped her arm off, but she got it back before it could be burned. She became close to another newborn named Kevin, with whom she discovered that vampires sparkle under the sunlight.

This discovery got Kevin killed, and Bree ended up trapped in a dangerous coven whose only purpose was to kill Bella and the Cullens. She was tortured by Jane and eventually killed by Felix, both members of the Volturi. Adrienne Tyler is a features writer for Screen Rant.
