text: Edward and Bella fall in love , but James , a sadistic vampire from another vampire coven , is drawn to hunt down Bella . Edward and the other Cullens defend Bella .
simplified: Bella takes the Cullens ' votes , and everyone except Rosalie and Edward say she should join their family as a vampire ( Rosalie had issues with becoming a vampire , and did not want Bella to make a choice she would regret ; Edward was afraid that vampires had no soul or afterlife , and did not want Bella to lose her soul ) .
