In the book, Edward pulls James off of Bella, then he corners James and starts biting into him… tearing chunks of James’ body from him. Both Emmett and Jasper arrive, they take James to another room in the ballet studio because the smell of Bella’s blood is so strong. It’s assumed that Emmett and Jasper killed James, then began burning his body. Alice was there, but she remained with Bella the entire time while she held her breath. When Bella notices the smell of gasoline – the Cullen’s all left the studio.

In the movie version, most of the same things still happen, but with a few changes. When Emmett and Jasper arrive, they only move James to another portion of the same room. Alice tries to help Carlisle with Bella, but Bella’s bleeding heavily. Carlisle tells Alice to go help Emmett and Jasper. Alice runs across the room, jumps on James’ shoulders, then pulls his head off, throwing it into a fire. Another MAJOR difference is: in the movie version, Bella NEVER tells Alice that James knew all about Alice’s secret past identity. So Alice remains completely ignorant about her past throughout the movie series.
