Edward decides that it's time to take Bella out to learn how to hunt. During this time she discovers all of the new things she can do. She can jump out of a second story window and land gracefully without making any noise, and jump over a river in one leap. Edward is even surprised at how fast she catches on to things and the extent of her strength. Once they were in the forest and about to start hunting for animals, Bella catches the scent of a human and starts to follow the scent. Edward is alarmed and tries to stop her, and when he finally gets her attention she turns around and gives him her full attention. This shocks Edward, because usually when a vampire starts to follow a humans scent they become obsessed and cannot stop. Bella was able to stop easily with her own will which is very unusual because she is a newborn. Edward and Bella decide it's time to go back to the house after they are done hunting, and they find Jacob guarding them from entering the house. He says he is there to protect Renesmee which is strange to Bella because she thought Jacob hated the baby. Bella insists on seeing her and they finally let her, even though they didn't want her to because they thought she would want to drink her blood. Bella has no problem being around the baby and proves them wrong. Later, Carlisle comes to the conclusion that the talent Bella was gifted with when she made her transformation into a vampire is self-control.
