Wikipedia

Twilight means either dawn (in the morning) or dusk (in the evening).

In the morning, dawn is when it is not dark any more, and the light of the sun is just starting to appear.

In the evening, it is the other way around and that phenomenon is called dusk. The sun has disappeared, and darkness is setting in. Light fades away.

For all these definitions, the horizon is at the sea which is flat.

Twilight.

In Twilight, Bella decides to move from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington, to live with her father. She enrolls at Forks High School. There she meets the Cullens, a family of vampires. However, because they believe it is not right, they do not drink human blood – they only drink animal blood. Because of this, they call themselves "vegetarians". They are described as beautiful and extremely pale, with golden eyes that turn black when they become thirsty. They are strong and can run very fast. Their skin is ice-cold. After becoming vampires, they do not physically change anymore. They do not grow older. When in the sun, they sparkle "like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface," according to Bella in "Twilight".

Bella quickly falls in love with Edward, the youngest of the Cullens at 17 (though he was born in 1901). Bella is attached to him even after she finds out he is a vampire. No one besides Bella knows they are vampires, so she must tell no one of their existence.

One night the Cullens are playing baseball, with Bella watching, when a smaller coven of vampires meets with them. These vampires are not vegetarians – they do drink human blood. James, one of the coven, attempts to attack Bella. However (because there are only three in his coven and seven in the Cullen's and he knows he can not win the inevitable fight if he attacks Bella) he does not attack right then.
