“Oh my.” Bella is a red-eyed vampire now and thanks to her bearing Edward’s child, the Cullens clan is up for execution by the Volturi. It makes for an epic battle though, especially since the latest trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has the Cullens combining forces with other vampire clans…
