The Twilight book series has been one of most popular series for pre-teens and young adults since 2005, when the first book was published. Written by American author, Stephenie Meyer, the books follow the fantasy romance between an ancient Vampire, Edward Cullen, and a normal teenage girl, Bella Swan. New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn follow the first novel, Twilight.
Bella gets herself into this sci-fi romance after moving across the country to live with her father in Washington State. Although the Cullens try to keep to themselves, Bella meets Edward at school. There's something off about him and his family and it's later found out that the Cullens are vampires. This family of vampires are different than most and only consume animal blood. They're still very dangerous, but Bella sticks around because she falls in love with Edward. The series deals with the struggles of a human navigating the vampire world and vice versa.
The movie adaptation of Twilight was released to theaters in 2008. Films following the sequels also followed. Breaking Dawn was even released in two parts similar to the last movies of the Harry Potter franchise. With the movie's popularity, it's very possible you saw it in theaters. However, 2005 was a while back, so only a vampire could pass this Twilight quiz.

Who is Carlisle's wife?
Dr. Cullen is a genius medical doctor who looks way too young for his level of expertise. That's because Carlisle was turned into a vampire at 23 years old in 1640.

He's lived this way for so long that he can practice medicine, and be around human blood, with no problem.
What is Edward's power?
Although becoming a vampire comes with heightened abilities like a superhero, most of them also have an additional skill or talent. For example, Emmett has super strength and Alice can predict the future. Bella is immune to Edward's spacial power, which frustrates and scares him. When Bella eventually becomes a vampire, this natural ability turns into her power, and she's able to shield others from mental vampire abilities. This specific power comes from her desire to protect her mind, which comes from her father.
Where does Bella see the Cullens for the first time?
The Cullens are a mysterious family in town, and Bella is warned by her new close friend Jessica, who almost seems envious. This family goes on family "camping" trips often.

To keep their privacy, the Cullens live in a large house in the middle of the woods.
How does Bella respond to "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb"?
This quote from the movie, and book, happens in the forest. Edward tries to prove to Bella how dangerous he is by sprinting through the trees and saying how defenseless she would be against him. He even pulls a tree out of the ground and throws it, roots and all. She's visually a little shaken, but continues to stand her ground against his claims. She tries to kiss him, but he jumps away into the trees to protect her, because he wouldn't be able to control himself.
