Oh, I'm sure at this point having them straight is not quite possible. This bar scene continues too, lol, and it may help. But, I think you will find it easier as the story continues. Matthias stands out with his nicknames and wiseass attitude, Michael as very polite and proper and steadfast, Tyros as strange and standoffish...etc. But yes, when they get focused on more individually. But even knowing that it's a bit much throwing them all at the readers like that, I couldn't change it. A female vampire who has not been 'turned' who can also breed, would be too important for the group not to all come out and meet her, and also rally around her to protect her.

I do see what you mean about dividing the story, and I really will give it some thought...though we should probably discuss that further once we reach where I chose to end it ;)

But don't think you're upsetting me, you're not at all, I love your input and would not want you to hold back. Thank you my friend!
