Everyone is saying that Leah sacrificed herself. But you know, when you watch the movie it doesn't really look like she's trying to kill herself. If you really look at the shots, she jumps to help Esme - whom she has sworn to help, a duty she will uphold to her dying breath because that is what the oath of a true warrior would mean. That being said, if I'm a four legged badass warrior with two blood suckers on my back I'm gonna try to shake them off me. Jumping across a ditch and landing hard (or perhaps on a weird angle) on the other side might make them lose their grip enough for me to get claws and teeth into them then turn around and be close at hand to save the ones I'm sworn to protect. If you look at the scene closely Leah is actually scrambling to get up out of the ditch but because she obviously isn't Chuck Norris wasn't able to overcome the strength of her two attackers. The scene is blocked in such a way that you can even see how she almost brought Esme down with her! Furthermore, when they show a shot of her face there's fear and surprise in her eyes for a moment then it switches to the stoic warrior acceptance of her fate. I don't think she expected to fall off. What do you guys think? Does it say she sacrificed herself in the books? It just doesn't seem like it to me.
