The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is a novella in the Twilight series by author Stephenie Meyer. It tells the story of a newborn vampire, Bree Tanner, who is featured in the third book of the series, Eclipse (2007). The book is written from the viewpoint of Bree, as opposed to the rest of the series which is predominantly narrated by character Bella Swan. Meyer let director David Slade, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, and a few of the actors read a draft of the story during production of the 2010 film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Plot summary

The story begins with Bree and Diego hunting for human blood in Seattle, Washington. Bree has been a vampire for three months, and Diego has been one for eleven months. Together they kill a pimp and two prostitutes and drink their blood. Bree and Diego discuss "her" (Victoria, who turned them into vampires). They hide in a cave and discuss their human lives, and how Riley came to offer them a second life as vampires. Together they decide that Riley is using them as pawns, and that he might be lying to them. They also discover that sunlight does not kill a vampire, but makes their skin sparkle. They fall in love and hunt for Riley and the other vampires they live with.

They find that Riley had relocated everyone to a log cabin and Diego gets into a fight. That night Bree and Diego stalk Riley, suspicious that he is meeting with "her." They eavesdrop on Riley's conversation with Victoria.

Eventually the Volturi show up, threatening to punish Victoria for amassing a vampire army, but are willing to give her army a chance to destroy the Cullen clan. The Volturi say that if Victoria does not attack within five days, they will kill her.

Bree returns to the log cabin and resolves to run away, while Diego stays behind to talk to Riley and inform him about the fact that the sunlight doesn't hurt them. Riley returns to the cabin alone and tells his vampire army that there are older vampires in Seattle (the Cullens) who want to kill them. If the newborns want to survive, Riley explains, they will have to work together and learn how to fight. Riley spots Bree and tells her that Diego is doing surveillance work with "her" and will return to join them in the fight. After three nights of training, Bree and the other vampires attack a ferry boat filled with passengers and drink their blood to increase their strength for the battle against the elder vampires. Riley tells everyone that the vampires they will be fighting have yellow eyes and keep a human (Bella) as a pet. He then gives them Bella's scent to hunt, describing her as the dessert.

The newborn army heads off to fight the Cullens. Fred decides to run away to Vancouver before the battle and agrees to wait for Bree for a day before leaving. Bree decides to take part in the battle in order to find Diego. Before the battle, Riley retreats, claiming to have business elsewhere and telling Bree that Diego already started fighting. Bree arrives at the battle to find the newborn vampires being massacred by the Cullens and thinks Diego is already dead because she cannot see or smell him anywhere. She concludes Victoria and Riley killed Diego for disobedience the night he went missing.

Bree turns to flee, but is cornered by Carlisle Cullen. They are joined by Jasper and Esme Cullen, who debate whether or not to kill her - the former wanting to, the latter not. They decide to restrain her until the Volturi arrive. Jasper forces her to close her eyes and presses his hands over her ears in order to protect the secret of the werewolves ("howler vampires", as Bree calls them), because she can hear their howls.
