4. Having Special Abilities
All vampires in this story possessed superhuman strength, speed, agility and immunity. Their senses are incredibly great. They can move,
jump, Climb, and run incredibly fast, running is described as being second nature. This probably inherited by their ability as a human before
becoming a vampire, and becomes obvious when they started their lives as a vampire. Edward birth name: Edward Anthony Masen was born on
June 20, 1901 in the city of Chicago, Illinois and then trapped in the body of the eternal boy aged 17 years. When he was dying from the Spanish flu
epidemic in 1918, he was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen
after Edwards mother, Elizabeth, begged him to save Edward.
Edward has a very strong physically, has the ability to jump, run, moving from one place to another with high speed and also has a talent to
read other peoples thoughts, but he was not able to read Bellas mind, he
also holds the status as the fastest among all members of the family.

Bella : “Are you like a bear too?” I asked in a low voice.
Edward : “More like the lion, or so they tell me,” he said lightly. Twlight, p. 216
Edward uses a “lion” to represent himself, who has a very strong physically, has the ability to jump and run. His appearance is so tough and
brave can describe like a lion. This description is also different with the other vampire that we ever know before. The conventional vampire only
move slow by jump, they can not to run fast. Jump and run are the perfect ability, which only Edward’s fortune.
Another case, when Edward left the house with Bella, usually he uses his ability to make it easier. It also meant that they were unseen by
human. Edward asks Bella to go up to his back, then swiftly he leaped through the window of Bella’s room and jumped swiftly from one tree to
another.
And the last is, Emmet, he has strong physical appearance like a lion. He was superior in the physical side. He is tall, sturdy and strong
vampire which made him look very tough. Of course this is very different from the habits and the depiction of
a vampire as we know it before, because the vampires in this novel do have a variety of unique abilities and far from scary figure.
