New Moon saw Bella go through a hard time after Edward broke up with her and the whole Cullen family left Forks, only to return some time later – but where did Edward go after leaving Forks and before trying to “kill” himself in Volterra? In 2005, Stephenie Meyer shared her unique vision of vampires and werewolves in Twilight, the first book in a series of four novels that followed the romance between vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan. This wasn’t an easy relationship, and they came across different obstacles that went from a clan of vampires known as the Volturi to a pack of werewolves, among those Bella’s best friend, Jacob Black.
In *New Moon,* the second book in the *Twilight* series by Stephenie Meyer, Edward Cullen leaves Bella Swan after the incident with Jasper at her birthday party. He believes that leaving her is the best way to protect her from the dangers of his vampire lifestyle.
After leaving Bella in Forks, Edward wanders around, trying to stay away from humans and suppress his pain. The specific locations where he travels are not thoroughly detailed in the book, but it is mentioned that he goes to various places across the world. He avoids his family and isolates himself to avoid any reminders of Bella.
The main event occurs when Edward incorrectly believes that Bella has died. He then decides to go to Volterra, Italy, to provoke the Volturi, the powerful vampire coven, into killing him. Before reaching Volterra, Edward’s whereabouts are vague, but it’s implied that he was moving from place to place, consumed by his grief.
