Love Someday.

When I first heard of the book Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer, I wasn’t amazed at all for a friend criticized it as a piece of crap, a story of boredom, a lousy love affair between two leading characters. I wasn’t thrilled by the thought of boredom and lousy. Then as I was looking for the latest movies in youtube, I bumped into the trailer of this twilight. Dang, Rob Pattinson on leading role. Instantly, I began to take interest. I googled and yahoo’d until I found what I was looking for.

Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan were the main cast. And since Pattinson’s to portray Cullen, I prefer to talk about their clan, in the book I mean.

Edward Cullen, who was the youngest in the vampire family, was a very pale looking guy, with reddish brown hair and golden butterscotch eyes. He was born in Chicago in 1901 and lived a normal human life for 17 years until Spanish Influenza hit him. It was in summer 1918 that Carlisle, his foster father, found him. He was dying then due to the epidemic when Carlisle saved him and made him immortal. Anyway, Edward has this certain ability and only he, in their family, has it. That is to read human minds. And from where he got it, he didn’t know. He was also the fastest runner among the Cullens.

Carlisle Cullen, on the other hand, was a town physician. He was born in London in 1640s. Imagine how old he is now. He’s the only son of an Anglican pastor and his mother died giving birth to him. In his early twenties, he led hunts for witches, werewolves and vampires. And in one of those days, Carlisle was accidentally inflicted by a vampire’s venom which eventually made him one of them. He strived to find an alternative for human blood until one night, a herd of deer passed his hiding place. Animals made him immune to human blood and so he pursued medicine.

I can barely describe Esme for very little was stated about her. She was the foster mother of the Cullen youngsters. She was suicidal then for having lost his first and only child. Esme was found by Carlisle when she jumped off a cliff to die. Fortunately, she was saved by immortality.

Alice, who stood as Edward’s sister, if truth be told, caught my interest for she has no memory of her human life. But when an incident happened between Bella Swan and one of the vampire villains, her story was told.

“When the old one knew I was after his little friend, he stole her from the asylum where he worked and as soon as he freed her, he made her safe. She didn’t even seem to notice the pain, poor little creature. She’d been stuck in that black hole of a cell for so long. A hundred years earlier and she would have been burned at the stake for her visions. In the 1920s, it was the asylum and the shock texts. When she opened her eyes, strong with her fresh youth, it was like she’d never seen the sun before. The old vampire made her a strong new vampire and there was no reason for me to touch her then." James, the villain, stated talking about Alice. And one more thing about Alice, she can visualize the future.

Little was said about Emmett Cullen and Jasper and Rosalie Hale. Rosalie, who was supposedly the partner of Edward, had become the sometimes wife of Emmett. She was the only Cullen to dislike Bella, jealous of her being human, living a normal life.

Jasper, on the other hand, is Rosalie’s blonde twin brother. They were 18 years old but already with Mrs. Cullen since they were 8. He was one of the three who has extraordinary ability and that is unusual sensitivity. He can make an unpleasant atmosphere into a calm and soothing one. Emmett, the last of the Cullens, was Rosalie’s partner. Nothing much was said about him in the story.

There you have it. From the book Twilight, the vampire clan, the Cullens.

It's not always roses all the way. In most unexpected times, people who walk barefoot leave painful marks on their toes for walking in bushes full of thorns just to get to the garden of happiness. That's what you call risking.

Do you think God planned it? No, it was their choice. Having to walk through certain situations, knowing that pain is all they could ever get.

There was once this timid girl. She has gone through tragic emotions. She was suicidal, selfish and unloved. She vowed never to let another soul take a peek of her lonely, harsh world, until an angel came down from the heavens.

Once, this angel told her to wipe away all her negative ideas about life and love for he will show her what those truly mean. She has to believe. She was hesitant at first, but his eyes are more than worthy of her trust. She tasted heaven in his arms. And when she was about to give it all up to him, he vanished like a vampire in the morning.

The story was an example of trust given without asking anything in return, without the assurance of forever happiness and love. People, how much they stay away from betrayal, will always be its sweetest victim. One could never really trust what and who’s around him.

You may always want to kill the bastard who broke your heart, the thief who stole your car, the murderer who killed your family, but in the back of your minds, you never blamed them. You blame yourself; for you risk the situation just to find out that it had result to nothing, that it was your entire fault.

Hating yourself will never do you good, neither is hating the world. But in the end, you’ll realize that what you have done, may it be the wickedest of black spells, gave off a wonderful fruit far more than you imagined.
