The sky was dark as the figure walked up to the building. Each step the shadow took was so smooth it almost seemed like a dance step, but there was almost a fierceness to it, that made it both beautiful and terrifying to look at. Sadie wasn't conscious of her new walk, however, as she was instead focused on the dreary warehouse right in front of her.

The place was dilapidated, having not been owned for many years. It was grey-colored, and the roof was full of leaks that slowly dripped. Sadie couldn't actually see the water softly falling to the ground, but with her new and improved hearing, she could tell the leaks were there.

It was the dead of night, and the stars were obscured by the thick layer of clouds that had risen on the horizon. The air was moist and heavy, and extremely warm, after the rain.

Two more figures approached Sadie, and one lay a hand on her shoulder.

"Sadie," Edward, the taller of the two figures, said quietly, "it's time."

Bella set her own hand on her husband's arm as she heard the words that he pronounced. They'd traveled south for a short time to reach the exact location of where Sadie's family was located, which was in this dreary building, which looked as if no one had been inside it for years. It was the perfect spot to keep a couple of people prisoner, as nobody would come and look for them here, in such a decrepit place so outside the small town. The warehouse was literally in the middle of nowhere, which made it an ideal place, albeit a bit cliché, to hold hostages.

Sadie didn't respond to Edward's statement, which wasn't a surprise by this point. Ever since they'd left Mark's body, Sadie hadn't said a word. She'd simply moved gracefully and quietly on the path that Edward had pointed out. She hadn't even said anything as she'd found a traveler nearby and had been on top of him before the elder vampire couple could do anything about it. Bella and Edward were dismayed, but Sadie just looked up, her front caked in blood, and her eyes dead. There was no question that by now, nearly every bit of the young girl was completely gone.

This was very worrisome, especially because she held such incredible power inside her. Although she had destroyed the huge Volturi army, she was now steadily becoming more disconnected to reality, and, would probably become a devastating force if she lost it completely. It was something that Edward and Bella refused to think about at this time, especially since they wanted to help the poor girl so much. Ever since they'd met her, they'd feared that she would be affected negatively if she were to become a vampire. Now, they had a confirmation to their fears. If Sadie wasn't stopped, she would surely become a killing machine.

Sadie, however, was oblivious to these fears, as she turned to Edward. She didn't open her mouth to ask him whether her family was in there, but the question in her eyes and in her mind was more than enough. Edward nodded in answer, at which Sadie turned back to look at the warehouse.

"She wants to borrow your ability again," Edward said to his wife, who looked horrified.

"Again?" she asked, terrified that this time she wouldn't get her ability back, and also afraid that giving the young vampire such power again might trigger a devastating reaction.

Edward sighed. "It'll only be for a moment, I promise."

Bella looked over at her beloved, still worried about giving up her ability, but she trusted him completely. Thoughts didn't lie, and he didn't either anymore. Reluctantly, she nodded, and Sadie noticed it immediately with her new skills. Without even moving, she pulled Bella's power out of the thin and fragile-looking body and into her own. She inhaled deeply, before closing her eyes.

The vampire couple looked at each other worriedly as they waited for what they knew was about to take place.

The sound of explosions filled the night, and as they were heard, Sadie began to slowly stride into the warehouse. She seemed uncaring, and not preoccupied, so Edward and Bella followed behind her.

As they made their way through the dusty rooms, they noticed a few piles of burning ashes on the ground, and they shuddered, noticing the displays of the younger vampire's power. It was greater than they'd ever imagined.

As they walked, Bella felt her strength and ability return to her, and she allowed a small smile of relief to fill her face, but it was quickly replaced by a look of worry as the girl suddenly stopped, her head slightly cocked to the side, and listening intently. Seeing this, Bella strained her own amazing hearing, trying to find what the young one had heard. What she heard was three heartbeats, something that no longer held much appeal to her, but she knew it would be very different for Sadie. Afraid for what might happen, she looked over at the younger vampire, who did seem to be under the blood's call. She was shaking uncontrollably, and for a minute, Bella thought that she might have to restrain the girl, but at that moment, Sadie turned around, and fled.

Bella looked to Edward for an explanation, which he gave after a glance at the running girl's thoughts. "She's gone to feed, and she'll be back to free her family later. For now, we're just going to have to wait here."

Edward sat down on the ground, even though his legs no longer got tired. He placed his face between his hands and rubbed at it, feeling the horror of the past few hours suddenly fill him. Bella settled herself next to her husband, and leaned her head against his shaking shoulders. She concentrated on firmly rubbing his back, trying to comfort him, and whispering soothing words.

"It'll all be ok. Don't worry. It all will turn out ok."

(A/N) Yes, a very intense chapter. What do you think will happen to Sadie? I already know, haha! Anyway, I'll let you know, soon enough, once the last couple of chapters have been posted. I hope you enjoyed this one, and just remember, I only own Sadie and her family! I will try to put up the next one very very soon, and it might be the last, and it might not... I'm not sure yet, but I do know that there is not too much left of this story to tell, so enjoy this chapter, and please review!
