" Bella: You're impossibly fast, and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color, and sometimes you speak like--like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight. ... How old are you?
Edward: Seventeen.
Bella: How long have you been seventeen?
Edward: A while.
Bella: I know what you are.
Edward: Say it. Out loud. Say it!
Bella: Vampire. "
