Hey guys. So I wasn't happy with these first few chapters, so I'm revising them. Nothing too big, mostly minor changes and slight character changes to fit with where I want this story to go. I'd also like to thank Flyaway Dove, who beta-d these revisions. :)

If you have been following this story, you don't need to reread, just read the character profiles.

Introducing the kids: (They all look the same besides hair and eyes. They are, after all, quintuplets.)

Lillian-Lily- She has light bronze hair that's almost blonde. Her eyes are golden brown, but a lot lighter after hunting. Lily is an outdoorsy kind of girl, as her power is growing plants and flowers and caring for them.

Allison-Ally- She has the same light bronze hair as Lily, but hers is a bit darker. She and Lily both straighten their hair everyday. Her eyes are Bella's brown with flecks of topaz, which become more prominent after hunting. Ally can control the weather. She and her best friend/favorite sister Lily are said to look alike more than the rest of the family, and are often mistaken for being twins.

Candace-Caddie- She has Bella's exact brown hair, but it subtly turns bronze towards the end. She keeps her hair very long; it goes down past her stomach. She always curls it. Here eyes have rings of Bella's brown, Edward's green, topaz, and a thin ring of red she got (explained later in story). She can tell an object's history by touching it. She is closer to Mattie than the others.

Matilda-Mattie- The main protagonist of this story. Has wavy hair that's bronze with Bella brown highlights. Her eyes are Edward green but with streaks of brown. It looks almost bloodshot in her eye, but brownshot. She can copy and mix people's powers, thus making her the most powerful. However, she can only 'store' four powers at once.

Anthony-Tony- The only boy, Tony looks like a miniature Edward. He has full topaz eyes that act like a normal vegetarian vampire's. He has the same bronze hair and facial features as Edward, but the similarity is subtle. Edward is taller than him. He can teleport, but he hasn't practiced much and can only move a few feet at a time.

Mattie's POV

Out of all my sisters, I'm probably the most down to earth one. Lily and Ally are the stereotype girly-girls, and closer to each other than the rest of us. Caddie and I are best friends, not that I aren't friends with my other sisters. I just seem to click more with Caddie. But, I still get fed up with her sometimes and wish that things were back to normal with my favorite sibling, my only brother, Tony. But after all the things he did to me, I don't think I can forgive him. But still, I wish that we could meet our other family.

My siblings and I have heard the Dad leaving story 10 million times, and I know my sisters hate him, and Tony hates him even more, and I probably should too, but deep down I really love him. He loved my mom so much, I can't believe he would suddenly just say "I don't love you anymore, bye, have a nice life" and leave, and on the same day she was going to tell him she was pregnant with us. Still, though, she used the last name Cullen.

My family hopes he doesn't come back, but I do… I would love to meet my other family. But Mom says they wouldn't dare come back. I hope they dare.

I guess I should tell you about my present family. We're quintuplets, 5 of us. We girls aren't venomous, but Tony is and he bit Mom when he was born.

I have four sisters: the oldest girl is Lillian Rose (Aunt Rosalie's name switched around) or Lily; Alison Marie, named after Aunt Alice and Mom; Candace Elizabeth, Caddie by us and only mom can call her Candy. She was named after a cousin of Mom and Elizabeth after Dad's mom. She lived about 300 years ago! Can you believe it? Anyway…

Anthony E.J. is the oldest out of all of us. He was the first one to be born. He's still got the appearance of a 17 year old like the rest of us, though. His name is Dad's middle name, and Tony's middle name is Emmett-Jasper after our uncles.

I'm the youngest, Matilda Annabelle Eleanor Swan Cullen. I'm only younger by 20 minutes…..but when you're half-vampire it's rather annoying. My siblings tease me about it.

My name has pretty much no sentimental meaning; it's just a string of old names my mom liked.

My siblings and I are relatively powerful. We suspect we are all talented because both our parents are. A mind reader and a shield. Though, everyone knows but doesn't want to admit that mine is the coolest. I can copy powers and mix them together. However, I can only 'store' four powers at once. Right now I have Jane's power, Alec's power, (I wouldn't like to reveal exactly when and how I absorbed those powers), fire from an old friend of mine, and water control from a nomad we ran into once. There is a drawback to my power, though. When I have a certain emotion that's running high, the current powers go haywire. It's like if I had an anxiety attack while I was also drunk and high. Yeah.

Lily and Ally have kind of similar gifts. Lily can make flowers and trees and whatnot grow around her, much like her name. Ally controls weather, and makes it rain on Lily's stuff.

Caddie can look at an object and tell its history. It doesn't come in handy too much, but it's still nice.

Tony can teleport short distances. He used to use his power by sneaking up behind me and blowing on my neck. By the time I spin around he's already gone, doing some trivial task nonchalantly.

"Mattie? Matilda Cullen, when are you planning on answering me?" Mrs. Carson asked me.

My head shot up.

"I'm sorry, I'm real sorry, Mrs. Carson. I was…" Lily stifled a giggle from across the room.

"Daydreaming?"

I hung my head. "Yeah….."

Ally was a little nicer than Lily. She leaned over and whispered "She wants to know what day D-day was." I gave her a crooked half smile that I apparently inherited from my dad.

Of course, nobody else saw this little exchange.

"Oh, June 6, ma'am." I said loudly.

She looked surprised and kind of mad that I got it. "Fine, yes, pay more attention next time though."

Finally history ended. Lunch!

As I ran to the lunchroom and got my food, and sat down at our usual table in the corner, I listened in on some girls talking.

"Did you hear there's this like new family coming? Apparently there's like, 5 of them, and 4 are like, together. Eww. And they like, live together! But guess what? They're saying the single one looks like a bigger version of Tony Cullen! And their last name is Cullen too! I wonder if they're related? I heard that they're like, all beautiful, just like this Cullen family. I bet the single one'll go out with me, cuz, I'm like, the hottest girl in like, the whole schoo."

I rolled my eyes at the way they spoke, but then what they were saying sunk in. The piece of pizza I was holding fell onto my plate. I desperately listened again, but they had moved off subject.

Oh, no. This can not be good. A bigger Tony? Bronze hair? CULLEN? Half of me was internally celebrating, but the other half was cringing.

Caddie slid into the seat next to me. "Are you okay? You look bad." Just like her to be blunt.

I bit my lip. Should I tell her? Yes. No. Yes. Maybe. YES!

"Caddie," I said nervously. "Cad, I just heard some girls talking about 5 new students. They said their last name is Cullen and one looks like a big Tony. And there's five…and 4 are together…" I waited for her reaction.

"WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY'RE DOING?" she whisper-screamed. "HOW CAN THEY COME BACK HERE? AFTER ALL THEY'VE DONE? WHEN ARE THEY COMING?"

I gulped. "Uh, tomorrow…."

"AHHH!" She shrieked.

Ally, Lily, Mom and Tony walked up and took a seat.

"YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT MATTIE HEARD!" she yelled.

"Can you tell us quietly?" Mom asked.

"Fine!" Caddie said, annoyance seeping into her tone. She repeated what I had told her.

Everyone's jaws were hanging. Even though it was definitely not the time to be making jokes, I couldn't resist the urge to push Lily's up. "Don't wanna swallow some flies," I told her seriously.

She glared at me.

We all twisted our heads to look at mom. She got up and stormed out to the forest outside.

"So." Tony said.

"So, how are we gonna do this?" Ally asked.

"I could teleport behind them and do creepy ghostlike things?" Tony suggested.

"I guess I can ruin their house with a tornado…." Ally said.

"And I can cover their house with unbreakable vines, maybe?" Lily said.

I grew angry. "How could you be even thinking about this? Guys, this is our second family we're talking about. You can't do all these things to them! I don't know about you, but I LOVE them! No matter what! I don't care; I bet if they knew about us they would love us so much! So go ahead, hurt them, whatever! I'm going to just about worship them! So there!" I spoke.

My siblings gaped at their littlest sister.

I left the lunchroom.

I hope you like the changes I made. Even if you don't, please review!
