Carlisle parked his car and exited. He smiled when he saw Eleazar, his old friend.
"Eleazar," he said, "how have you been?"
"All right, how about you? Did you find more about what the Volturi wanted?" Eleazar asked curiously.
"Actually, yes," Carlisle led his friend over to Edward's car, which was just arriving. One of the back doors opened, and Mark and Sadie came out, laughing.
As soon as Eleazar saw Sadie, he did a double take. He couldn't believe it, the girl had such an amazing power. No wonder the Volturi wanted her.
"Sadie, Mark, this is Eleazar. Eleazar, these are Sadie and Mark," Carlisle introduced them politely.
The rest of Eleazar's family came out into the snow, and Edward took over the presentations as Eleazar took Carlisle aside.
"Carlisle, do you know what that girl can do?"
"No, not exactly. All we know is that the Volturi want her, for some reason."
"I know what that reason is. That girl has one of the most amazing powers I've ever seen. It's strong even now, in her human form. If she was to be turned into a vampire she would be formidable indeed." Suddenly noticing Sadie watching them, Eleazar smiled. "Why don't we all go inside," he suggested, and herded both families indoors.
--------------
Once Sadie and Mark were sitting comfortably on a couch, with mugs of hot chocolate, Eleazar called a meeting with both vampire families outside.
"I know why the Volturi want this girl," he said.
"Sadie," Bella stated, "her name is Sadie."
"Yes, well, I know why the Volturi want her. Her power is amazing, I've never experienced anything like it ever before."
Edward gave Eleazar an alarmed look as he read his mind, finding out everything about Sadie's power.
Slightly impatiently, Emmett broke the short silence, "Um, hello? We can't all read minds like Edward, you have to tell us."
Eleazar nodded, "Excuse me, I'm sorry. Well, Sadie's power has a lot to do with energy. That must be why she likes the wolf so much."
"Because he's energetic?" Bella asked. "But, they're friends."
"I'm not saying they aren't, but this is also an important factor in their friendship, without them realizing it. And no, it's not because he's energetic, it's because he radiates energy in the form of heat. It sustains Sadie so much, she barely needs to eat or sleep, probably. It's fascinating really. She doesn't take to us as quickly since we mostly keep all our energy in. She can get to it, just not as easily."
"And that's what the Volturi want her for? To take energy? But, that doesn't make any sense, we have endless stores of energy, it wouldn't do anything if Sadie were to absorb it," Jasper interrupted.
"Actually, it would. Sadie's power is so great she could probably drain all our energies and use them for other things. She can project it in any way she wants. She would be able to cause fires, or tidal waves, practically anything she wanted."
"But still, that doesn't explain why they're so desperate to have her."
"Actually, it does. Not only can Sadie drain energy, she can drain powers as well."
"Wait, she can actually take our powers?" Jasper sounded horrified.
"Yes."
"Cool!" Emmett broke in. "It's like Rogue in X-Men!" After noticing the looks on everyone's faces, he shrugged. "What? It was the only thing on TV!"
"Basically, yes, it's like Rogue," Eleazar explained, "but much more powerful. She doesn't have to touch you to take your energy, and she can even absorb it from her surroundings. Unchecked, she could even destroy the world."
Edward growled as he heard a thought in Rosalie's head. "We're not killing her, Rosalie," he said threateningly.
"I agree," Carlisle put his hand on Edward's shoulder protectively. "We shall not harm her, as long as she doesn't harm us."
"But can't we teach her how to use her powers for the greater good?" Bella asked. "She's a sweet and sensible girl, I can't imagine her using them to hurt people."
"The problem is, we can't tell how her mind might react to the transformation," Eleazar argued.
"No, I meant before turning her, if we turn her at all. We should at least begin to teach her, just in case. She should know."
"Yes, she should," Carlisle agreed.
Eleazar sighed. "All right, I'll teach her, but if she ever destroys the world, it'll be on your heads."
