When Felix in New Moon by Stephenie Meyer says 'Dibs' what does that mean?

Answer 1

I thought that he wanted to be the one to kill Bella. But that's what I figured. Dibs is like staking a claim on something, so he is saying that if she is going to be killed that he is going to be the one to get the first shot at it.

Answer 2

When Felix in New Moon says "Dibs," he is essentially claiming or marking Bella as his own and indicating his desire or intention to harm her. It's a possessive and threatening gesture in the context of the story.
