This is an author's note, I'm sorry. It's necessary; I need to explain a few things. But, to make up for it, I am posting two new chapters. Forgive me now?

Relating to Bryan:

Bryan was twenty years old when changed.

Bryan's power is to mimic. Think of him as a vampire mockingbird. He can imitate voices to a fault.

Bryan is of similar build to Emmett, slightly smaller.

Bryan is of similar mindset to Emmett, always joking, thinking about fighting, kicking butt, and extreme sports.

Any other questions can be PM'd or left in reviews

I imagined Bryan to look like Ben Barnes… (pictures on website, see profile) He has dark hair, and is about 6'2"

Relating to Matthew

Matthew was also twenty years old when changed.

Matthew's power is to mind read.

Matthew is super protective of Bella.

Matthew is very little like Edward. He can read minds, is protective, very polite, but other than that he differs. He is loud, encourages Bella to take risks (this will become more evident soon), he doesn't play the piano…

I imagined Matthew looking like a William Moseley, almost. (See profile) He is blond, and about 6'1"

Relating to Peter:

Peter was thirty-six when changed.

Peter doesn't have a power in the sense of "powers." He is more of a father figure, and his "ability" is very much like Esme's. He can love unconditionally. It comes from his son, Callan. He was all Peter had left after his wife died.

He is 6'0 even.

Peter plays the violin

Peter is a psychologist. (When they move, he gets a job at the hospital as a resident psychologist.)

I see Peter as Brian Krause… (see profile)

Relating to Bella:

Bella was nineteen when changed, she was changed December 12, 2007.

Bella's appearance changed slightly more than in the book… she shrunk an inch, so she is now 5'3". Her hair grew out a few inches, so it touches her hips now. Her cheek bones are slightly more prominent, but other than that, just the normal vampire changes.

Bella's power. This one was difficult. It started out remaining the same as in the book. Then it progressed, similar to the way it does in the book. You'll see as it gets explained.

Bella is basically the same, except in two ways.

She is way more confident, and from that arouses a desire to test herself… so he does motocross, goes cliff-diving, is very in to extreme sports.

Being more confident, she experiments with clothes and makeup. She is less conservative in my story than in the book. (Don't worry, it's more that she wears tanks tops, make-up stuff like that. She isn't less conservative in a way that she is running around town, sleeping with every guy she comes across.)

Bella is very into music. However, since I am trying to channel Stephenie Meyer, I will not be posting actual song names. At the end of the story, I will post a playlist of songs that she listened to, songs that went through my head at certain times in this, and a list of songs that inspired me.

Thanks for getting this far, and happy reading!
