In this part of New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, Bella comes across Laurent in the meadow where Edward once took her. Bella thinks that Laurent his clan aren't targeting her anymore but he informs her that Victoria, another one of his clan, is after her. He says that since Edward killed James (in Twilight) that it would only be fair to kill Bella as a mate for a mate type of thing. Since Laurent is so "thirsty" he decides that maybe he should just take care of Bella for himself. Fortunately, a pack of wolves chase Laurent out and save Bella. "Granted, the wolf was monstrous in size, but it was just an animal. What reason would a vampire have for fearing an animal?"(243). This is when I had the idea that Jacob, Sam Uley, and his other new found friends were actually vampires. In Twilight, Jacob told Bella of an ancient folk tale that the Cullens were vampires and the Blacks descended from wolves, and were called "protectors". The werewolves are supposed to protect humans from their enemies, vampires. Since the whole thing about the Cullens turned out to be true, I thought that the Blacks were definitely going to turn out to be vampires.
