In the meantime, Bella is focusing on her options and discussing the possibility of becoming a vampire, which is something that she truly wants, even though the entire process is complicated. Bella is currently 18 years old during the film and is hoping to have Edward turn her into a vampire because she wants to remain immortal, much like Robert, instead of aging and becoming older because Edward is forever young and will remain 19. Edward, in the meantime, is constantly worried about the safety of Bella, especially against the werewolf pack. However, Bella insists that Jacob would never harm her or allow his werewolf pack to harm her either. Jacob eventually confesses his love and admiration for Bella but she gets mad and hits him in return, which causes tension. After a period of time, Jacob apologizes for expressing his love for her.
Aside from the usual drama between vampires and the murder of Victoria, Bella eventually decides to go about things in the fashion that Edward had hoped for. She will get married to him and make love with him so that she can become a vampire too. She tells Edward that she does not feel normal and never will be, so she feels prepared to take on this journey with him and eventually become a vampire, leading to their engagement.
