New Moon

After an accident at Bella's birthday party at the Cullen's house, Edward realizes that he only endangers Bella's life and leaves Forks and she is left crying in the forest calling his name. In her depression, she begins to hear Edward's voice talking to her only when she is in a dangerous situation. After she acquires two motorcycles, Bella befriends Jacob Black, a family friend, they repair the motorcycles and during that time he begins to feel stronger emotions towards Bella than she feels towards him as Bella also discovers that Jacob morphs into a werewolf. Bella endangers herself on the motorcycle and also cliff jumps in an attempt to hear Edward's voice again but Edward's sister Alice sees in a vision Bella's demise, informs Edward, and he travels to petition the Volturi in Rome in hopes they will end his existence. Bella and Alice fly to Rome and find Edward before he reveals himself as a vampire in public, but all three are escorted to the leaders of the Volturi where Bella's unknown talents are discovered and they learn that the Cullen's must turn Bella into a vampire or she will suffer the consequences of knowing the vampire life.

Understatement is rampant in this story because of Bella's depression and how she loses herself when Edward leaves her in Forks alone. The reader is left to infer and add their own life experiences into the story. Internal dialogue allows the reader to see how each character feels about situations and relationships during the story.
