A.N.: Hello again. : ) Thanks for all the reviews.

InkblotTheDarking; I know there are a lot of unfortunate people. If you still keep in contact with any of the people you mentioned, tell them I wish them the best.

SilverDrip; xD Those are very random ideas. The William in love with Victoria thing is a great idea, but I really hate Victoria with a passion and I wouldn't do that to Willy. I will use your little sister idea though, but with some alterations. I have William's story finished now, and he's the one with the little sister. Some of it will be in this chapter. It's sadder than Emily's. I feel bad now. : (

Keeness; that was originally my plan, but I don't want to write too much drama between Eddie and William, so I decided not to. He will have a very good relationship with Bella though.

All Reviewers; Thanks so much. Please feel free to ask questions. As to making Bella sadder, I'll try to if I can find places in the story for it. There's a lot going on in the beginning, and it wouldn't quite work out if Bella was moping around all the time.

Thanks for all the cookies!

He was staring down at me with his eerie burgundy eyes. I stiffened.

He smiled. "Don't worry, I just want to talk."

He walked me over to my bed and sat down in an armchair. "I'd like to apologize," he started seriously. I looked at him, confused. What did he have to apologize for? "I was being rude when you first came," He continued in a somber tone. "I didn't like you at first."

"Oh. That's alright, I don't mind..." I trailed off, and then I noticed he was staring at me with one eyebrow raised. I realized how bad that sounded. "No! I meant, not that I don't mind you not liking me…" I scrambled for words.

He chucked at me, and I turned to look at him again. I felt the blush on my face. "It's alright, I know what you meant. What I meant was, I judged you harshly when you first came. I can see now that that judgment was wrong; you're really quite knowledgeable." He smiled at me. "For a human."

I pouted playfully. It was easy to be myself around William. He laughed again. "You know, you remind me a lot of my sister."

His face changed. The ghost of the laugh still remained, but now his face was filled with agony.

"You're not going to tell me about her, are you?" I assumed. He smiled half-heartedly.

"Her name was Lydia." I could tell he didn't like to talk about it, so I didn't pry. I just stared at him, doing my best to hide my curiosity. He was looking away, but he seemed like he was off in another world.

"Emily told me something." I said warily, hoping his reaction won't be too bad. He just turned to me, eyes unreadable. "She said that you were only a year old. As a vampire, I mean." He nodded his face still blank. I looked down and fidgeted in my lap. "I was wondering… how you became a vampire." I looked up again to see his reaction.

He sighed and looked away again. "Roran and I became friends at a high school over a year ago, and he introduced me to Emily. A while later, he found me in a building, close to death. Emily convinced Zaciel to save me." His jaw set.

I frowned at the vagueness of his answer, but didn't ask anymore. It was obvious that he was uncomfortable talking about it, and I didn't want to make him feel annoyed so soon after we 'made up.'

Suddenly, he stood up and smiled down at me once more. "It's late. I'm keeping you from your sleep. It's so strange to have someone who sleeps in the house." And with that, he walked to the door and shut it quietly behind him. That left me staring after him, thoroughly confused.

A.N.: Yea. So, what I made this chapter for was to tell you that my mom has, sadly, shortened my time on the computer. She says she's only going to give me an hour a day on weekends, but that's it. Chances are I'll be able to sneak some time, but not much more. So I might only be able to update once a week. : ( But, I'll still be writing the story in my notebook, so I'll try to make the updates as long as I can.

Oh, and, William's transformation is bases on his sister. : ) Watch out for Lydia. I named her Lydia because a friend of mine, Amber, used to like that name a lot. I'm not sure if she still does. But anyhow.
