    hello ! (:
    let me start by saying that I LOVE this site.

    (BDW, it would be really COOL if you guys mention this reply in your nxt podcast. today is my birthday and it would mean the most to me !!! )

    anyways,
    i highly believe that more than one character will die. perhaps two.
    this reason is because stephenie meyer bases her books on Romeo and Juliet. WE all know (or at least i hope we all do) know how the tragedy ends. BUT i dont think edward will die.
    i know for sure that bella will die.
    this is because she will be a vampire.
    and that means losing her soul.

    i also think that jacob will die as well.
    He will probably sacrifice his life for either bella or edward. because he cares too much for bella and if that means losing edward, then he would rather sacrifice HIS own life than to see her in the same stage as {NEW MOON}. also, if it happens to be like this, it would have more of an effect to the readers realizing how much jacob cares for bella.

    i also think that jacob will NOT imprint.

  2. Heidi says:

    I have a couple thoughts on the death matter. I think if anybody dies, it’s going to be Sam. I think this is kind of obvious & has come up in podcasts. But, I think it needs to happen in order to force Jacob to step up. I don’t think any of the Cullens or humans will die. But, I think that that the Volturi have got it coming to them. I think that the final fight will be towards the end of the book & it will be the Cullens vs. the Volturi. I think that Jane will get what’s coming to her. I think Bella will be the one to do her in.

  3. edwardlover says:

    hahha its me again.
    i was the one who posted the reply right above this one the one above me right now. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (:

    if one of the cullens die i will probably have to go see a therapist.
    and if bella and/ or edward die.(especially edward)
    or if she doesnt become a vampire and spend an eternity together, then i will probably need die cuz of heart attack :O

  4. shelby says:

    i agree with teri… she has such a good theory.
    i will laugh so hard if she gets it close to the story;)

  5. aussie! aussie! aussie! says:

    I think that sam will die. and jacob will be forced to come back and be forced to take on the role as pack leader causing friction with the vampires. there will be a war and bellas fate will surley be decided.

  6. Elizabeth Cullen says:

    I hope no one dies, but if someone were to die it won’t be a vamp…unless it’s the Volturi.

    The Cullens are too smart and skilled. Alice can see the friggin future for crying out loud, nothing will get past them.

    As much as I love everyone in the pack, I think someone from La Push will die. It won’t be a huge death, but just as devastating. Like Emily or Sam…or both. Sam’s death will force Jacob to be the leader.

    Sort of like in Lion King.

  7. Sasha says:

    I think that Billy will die. Forcing Jake to come back. This will happen like, right before the wedding. Bella will go to his funeral to pay her respects. Edward being unalowed in La Push won’t be able to go. Bella will see Jake and can’t help but feel an overwelming sence of love for him. So she runs off with him (also out of fear of becomming a vampire…). Alice see’s her desicion to run off (but not with who) but doesn’t stop her beause it is what Bella really wants. When she is with Jacob the Volturi goes looking for her. But cannot find her. Their powers are very limited when it comes to Bella and since they know nothing about Jake they can’t count him in their efforts. Thus Bella is safe from the volturi. Meanwhile Alice see’s Bella’s future disapear, sending the Cullens in a race to find her.
    There are many reasons for my claim.
    Number 1: I have this overwellming sence that Bella does not become a vampire.
    Number 2: If yuo got the special edition of Eclipse you got the poster and I don’t think that she would have to tell Edward that they belong together.
    Number 3: It could happen, you have to admit it.
    reasons my claim doesn’t work:
    1. Would Alice really allow that, Bella running off. I mean besides being Bella’s friend and sister almost…she is also edwards sister. Do you think she would let Bella run off knowing that it would hurt him that bad?
    2. Bella made it very clear that she can’t live without Edward. Would she really run off?
    3. Could Stephenie Meyer really do that to her characters?

    please tell me what you think about my theory…email me ur comments on it at vampiregirl-92@hotmail.com thank you

    please comment on my theory…

    Number 2: Cloud Stephenie Meyer do that to her characters?

  9. ame says:

    To be honest I cant see any of the Cullen’s dying.

    Numerous times the idea that they are not in danger is reinforced through Alice reassuring Bella.

    This could be a sign of arrogance and cockiness leading to a death…or just a fact and no one dies.

    I like to think that none of the characters we have fallen in love with will die 🙂

    Optimism.

  10. em s says:

    i agree with sasha in the fact that i think billy will die, thus bringing jake back.
    it would be major sad, but i can totally see this happening.
    an i like the rest of her theory BUT I DONT WANT IT 2 HAPPEN COZ I DONT WANT HER TO RUN OFF WITH JAKE. but it’d be interesting coz they’re always fighting an it makes me laugh.
    but yeah, i can totally see billy dying.

  11. Anna Loves Edward says:

    I think Edward may die, but if that happens, oh gosh, i just wasted 20 bucks on a pile of ashes!

  12. Sara says:

    Ok
    I’m thinking Jacob will die, mainly because there was something said about there being a new enemy but like, close to the people.. Yeah.
    So i think that Jacob will get into a battle with Edward the day before the wedding is set for Edward and Bella.
    Also, I am thinking that since it is supposed to be a tragedy (i think) Edward and Bella might very well die.

  13. liz says:

    haha i like that “edwella” lol but i think that someone in the wolfpack will die which will bring jacob back. or jacob will come back to ruin the wedding or something like that i hope none of the cullens or bella to die. i dont really want anyone to die unless they are bad. or someone in the volturi will die. i guess we will have to wait and find out!!! the wait for this book is killing me!!! just come out all ready! same for the movie!!!

  14. Brita says:

    Hey! First, I just wanted to say how much I love your podcasts. They are a nice thing to listen to during my free time and get me thinking.

    Okay, so like you said in an earlier podcast, you guys were talking about the “pawn” as someone dying for her to become a vampire. one of my theories is one of her human friends will die, such as Angela. I think this will happen because I personally think that Bella has to learn/remember who she is giving up by turning into a vampire. I know it is sad and I don’t want it to happen, but I have a gut feeling it will.

    I think that how Angela (or one of her other close human friends) will die at the wedding (before or after) by either The Volturi who were coming to break-up the wedding and kill her along the way or something. I really hope Angela doesn’t die, but I think it is something that would add stress to Bella’s decision.

    One thing to think of is that is if Angela does die, when/if Bella chooses Edward it will be that much more romantic because she realizes what she is sacrificing for him, and know what she is loosing, but does it anyways.

    Well, thank you for reading about my opinion (this is the first time I have gotten up the courage to answer one of your questions) and keep up the wonderful work =)

  15. Ashley says:

    A lot of people speculate that one or more of the Cullen’s are going to die, but I can’t see that happening. Even if ONE Cullen dies, it would completely tear the rest of the family apart. I know that this isn’t that meaningful, but Stephenie has said that she belives in happy endings.

    I know that the Cullen’s are a big part of Bella’s life, but I think they hold more for her in the future. Even though she is close to them, I think that her relationship is supposed to flourish more in the future. For a character that dies, I think it will be Charlie. As a parent, Charlie always meant so much more to the series than Renee did. We’ve seen Bella’s relationship grow through the series with him, and I think that his death will mean more to Bella than any other person in the series could (Besides Edward or Jacob).

    How Charlie will die, I am uncertain. I’d like to believe that the Volturi will behind it, as an incentive for the change Bella. As hard this is to swallow, I’m sure that his demise will be sinister. I really can’t see Charlie dying in vain. With Charlie’s death early in the book and before the wedding, Jake will have to come back.

    Now, to fit in the with pawn theory. I’m not big on chess, so this may be completely wrong, but I’m almost certain that the pawn will be Charlie’s death. It will inspire Bella even more to be a vampire to venge for her loss.

    This is going to sound really sick, but with Charlie’s death, its also one less person that Bella has to fake her death to in the future. I think Charlie would be the hardest person for Bella to cut off ties with after the change, and she wouldn’t have to worry about that.

    Eclipse Chapter 26 Ethics Page 590
    “‘But I have this… hunch. I feel like… I’m going to loose you soon.’
    … ‘Will you tell me before you do anything major? Before you run off with him or something?’
    … ‘Give me a chance to hug you goodbye.'”
    – All Quotes from Charlie

    Wouldn’t it be ironic if Bella never got to hug Charlie goodbye?

    (I’m also a big supporter of Sam’s death. Because of it, Jake would have to come back, and it would settle peace between Emily and Leah. If Sam dies Leah has no one to bitter with, thus she FINALLY opens her heart, and falls in love NATURALLY (not imprinting!!!) with Jacob.)

  16. Ashley says:

    This is in response to someone who mentioned above that Paul or Seth would die.

    I seriously doubt that she would kill of any of these: Jacob, Paul, Seth, Heidi, or Emily

    Those are all the names of Stephenie’s siblings. I’m sorry, but if my sister wrote a book with a character that shared my name and then they DIED, I’d be quite upset.

    I highly doubt Stephenie would kill off a character that shares a name with someone close to her.

    ~~~~
    I have one contradiction to the above that I just thought of. Stephenie did kill off Victoria (who shares the name with her mother-in-law.) In an interview, Steph said that Victoria is actually named after an English Queen with red hair. Emily, Seth, Paul, and Heidi are actually named after siblings of Steph. Jacob was named after a boy Stephenie met when she was fourteen. So, if you follow this theory, Jacob is the only one who would possibly die because (like Victoria) he isn’t named after someone close to Steph.

    I hope this makes some sense.

  17. Brinklee says:

    Okie Dokie, I have 2 theories.

    1)I think that CHARLIE will die. I don’t like the idea of it, but it is a major possibility. Because there has been issues in the past that involve his safety and this time around(whatever may happen) his life may not be spared again.

    2) I also think that both Sam AND Billy might die because that would put Jacob as the “Alpha Wolf” and he might be able to abolish the treaty so that The Cullens would be able to turn Bella without breaking it. (whoever that might be, idk.) Even if he doesnt want her to be a vampire. He wants her to be happy.

    ALSO…. that could possibly set up a story for Stephenie to write (in another series) from Jacob’s point of view.

  18. Lorelei says:

    The person who dies, IF anyone dies, would have to be from the reservation. Jacob has to come back and an event like that (especially Sam or Billy) would bring him back.

    I love Jacob. Don’t get me wrong, I want Bella and Edward to be together forever but I want him to be happy. He needs to find true love and I think that Stephenie Meyer really cares about Jacob. She can’t leave him unhappy forever.

    But it’s always possible he hasn’t imprinted because the person doesn’t exit yet. This would parallel the ancient leader of the first wolf pack and would also parallel Edward (who’s had to wait for Bella!) Perhaps Jacob will remain – unaging – until he meets the person he is meant for. I’m not sure about the whole Leah thing everyone keeps talking about.

    I think Breaking Dawn will be a story that leads into new stories with the wolf-pack. I’d love to read more about them and Jacob because I really do like the guy!

    Please Stephenie, if you are reading this – stop torturing Jacob!!!! Let him be happy, please!!

  19. Lorelei says:

    Heehee =) I just saw a typo…

    I meant that the person Jacob is supposed to imprint with doesn’t “exist” yet. Not exit…

    I do that all the time!!

  20. Allison says:

    Starting off, i am one of the biggest team edward fans ever. He could to something terrible and i would find no faults in him because he is, well, edward. I love him. To get to the point, in breaking dawn i think Jacob will die. Even though Jacob is Bella’s best friend, the only way she can be truly happy is if he is “out of the picture”, to put it nicely. Even is Jacob imprints on someone else, he might sill have feeling for Bella. He wont love her like he loves this new girl, but it will still hurt him very much [ more than if he just thought of he as a friend] when she leaves with edward. Bella will be very sad at the beginning but once she becomes a vampire, her human memories will fade and she will not miss him as much. Even though i dont really want Jacob to die, i think this will happen so edward and bella can have they’re happily ever after.

  21. Samantha S. says:

    I would like to start by saying that i love your podcasts. Ok now, i think that Leah will die. I say this becasue she seems to want to prove, to the pack, that she is as good as all of them even though she is the only girl werewolf. Like in eclipse when she tries to take down the newborn vampire by herself and then Jacob ended up getting hurt saving her. She also might die because she would want to go find Jacob. Jacob is in Northern Canada which is very close to Alaska where Tanya’s family in Denali is. She may come across them. Once again she may want to prove herself and try to kill one of them or get into a fight with one of them. Then if that happened she would most likely get killed. She is not one of the very main characters so it wouldn’t change too much if she were to die, as much as i don’t want her to but it makes the most sense to me.

  22. Sydney says:

    I think that one out of two people will die.
    Sam might die. I am not sure how but I think this is what will cause Jacob to come back from where ever he ran off to. Because once Saem dies Jacob will become the alpha dog. I also think that Alice (or maybe one of the Cullens) will die to save Bella. Alice is the closest Cullen (besides Edward) to Bella and Alice has said that she loves Bella and would do anything to keep her and Edward together.

  23. Katie Franco says:

    The obvious people that I pretty much expect will die is some bad guys like: Jane and you know people from the vulturi.

    One in particular that just popped into my head when I was reading the question was Aro. The way I think he would die is by Carlisle because I don’t know I just think that Aro admires Carlisle alot or at least that is what it seems like to me. So maybe Aro expects Carlisle to…. I don’t know what would cause it but Carlisle might for some reason be put in the situation in order to save someones life or something of that sort. I’m sorry I can’t explain it.

    Then I really don’t want it to happen but maybe someone in the Cullen family might die to save their loved one. For some reason I’m thinking Emmett might think he can do something on his own to save Bella and Rosalie tries to save him but fails. But then to me I think that then maybe Rosalie might die saving Bellas life so that Emmett didn’t die in vain. Sad but for some reason I thought of that when I read the question.

    Then personally I have sometimes thought that maybe Stephenie doesn’t want to turn Bella so she may kill Edward in order for Bella to stay with Jacob. But before he dies he lets her know that she needs to move on or says something to her so that she can move on. It kills me to write this but it is a possibility.

    I don’t know maybe she just wont kill anyone but the bad guys or some not too important characters that we haven’t grown attached to but that make a difference in the next book!

  24. Charlie might get kidnapped and then killed by the Vulturi because they know that one of the key reasons Bella hasn’t been turned is because of him. They might go to these lengths to have her be turned instead of killed because they want to know what powers she might acquire.
    Then maybe some of the Vulturi might die in revenge.

  25. I personaly think it will be Jacob Black, and i think this because i was listening on how Stephenie Meyer said the book relates to two stories, I think that might be Romeo and Juliet, so one dies, and Bella has a whole in her heart because of it.

  26. ultimate twilighter says:

    Why do people think so badly that someone from the good side {lol} has to die! I believe that the only person that is obvious is Bella. Though I’m not sure if she will die in a good way{a.k.a. turned into a vampire} or she will just die. I don’t know, we are kind of at the point where anything can happen, but I do hope Jacob survives even though I’m on team edward!!!
    Love your podcasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Naom says:

    due Jacob just die alreddy

  28. courtney says:

    i think rosalie or sam uley will die sorry all rosalie and sam fans just givin my oppinion
    🙁

  29. ej says:

    chief swan…

    she won’t have to worry about her mother, because she has someone, she would worry about her father, unless he died saving her when she was still human… then it would feel like to bella that everyone will be okay. that her father never got over her mother and died loving her. thats what i would do.

  30. Barbara says:

    I think Jacob might die.I just have a feeling about it.If Stephenie killed Bella or Edward,I would be so upset

  31. April, love. says:

    I think Bella would be the most likely character to die, i mean come on!
    she is the one who is supposed to die each book!
    if someone does die and its not her then tht would be crazy!
    I hope no one dies tho :[
    i would be sooo sad if edward or bella or even all the cullens die :'[

  32. Amy & Walker says:

    OK
    someone already stole my theory, but i think Jasper will attack Bella, and Edward will have to kill him…
    =(

    ORR…

    Edward will get really P.O.’d at Jacob (because he is gross), and he will kill Jake!!!

    I hope my 2nd theory is correct…

    Stupid Jacob Black…

    WI is cool!!!

    But innocent bystander disagrees with ‘Amy’, and will be spending 3 months in the hospital…

    …who is not walker…

    Stupid Jacob Black
