ters？　What　was　the　point　of

forming　such　a　society　when　no　vampires　lived　in　Forks　anymore？　Why　would

Jacob　start　believing　the

stories　about　the　Cullens　now；　when　the　evidence　of　them　was　long　gone；　never

to　return？

It　took　me　too　long　to　e　up　with　the　correct　response。　〃Don't　tell　me

you're　listening　to　Billy's

superstitious　nonsense　now；〃　I　said　with　a　feeble　attempt　at　mockery。

〃He　knows　more　than　I　gave　him　credit　for。〃
