Hey SpiritMonk! I enjoy reading your posts here at this wiki. I liked Fred too. It's not that the newborns were so dumb...but rather VERY thirsty. They fell for Riley's lies because he was their only source about vampires. Anyway, they were so bloodthirsty they believed Riley...solely because he promised them more blood. Bree didn't trust Diego because she discovered he had lied to them. Bree discovered that she could go into the sun and not be burned. But Bree did believe Riley that he had sent Diego ahead of the rest of the group. The ONLY reason why Bree showed up was to get Diego...and leave with him and then meet back up with Fred. Bree ONLY realized the Riley's lie about Diego once she was at the battle and could detect nothing of him. Bree began to run away from the battle...but Carlisle caught her and was about to kill her when Bree begged for mercy...so he let her live. It's easy for us to read the book and think how dumb they were. But the newborns were once human who didn't believe in vampires or the supernatural. So they trusted Riley. And the number one thing going on in their minds is when do they get to drink more blood.
