A/N: Hey all! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

The usual disclaimer applies.

Eleazar came into the kitchen the next morning and immediately got down to business. He looked around the room and pointed at the remaining 11 people who still had powers to be classified. "Alright. I will take three people this morning, 4 people this afternoon and the 4 remaining people this evening. Sound good to everyone?" They all nodded with eagerness.

Eleazar pointed at Jaelynn and said "We'll start with you. Yours is…..interesting." She nodded with wide eyes and followed him.

He sat her down to explain the ins and outs of her would-be power. "Here's the thing, Jaelynn. I don't know how to tell you this but….you have the abilities of a shifter." Her mouth dropped open wide and she said "What? How?" She brushed her blonde and purple hair back in disbelief.

He shrugged and said "I'm not quite sure. Technically, none of you should have powers like this. My only theory is that since you are from a different universe, you somehow disrupted the time/space continuum. Other than that, I have no idea. I do know one thing, however; If Aro discovers your powers, you will all be in danger. He is a collector, of sorts. He collects people with rare and powerful talents. You must keep these powers a secret. Do you understand?" She nodded in earnest.

They sat back down and she said "So, do you have any idea what my shifter form will be?" He looked at her, golden eyes wide with worry. "That seems to be the problem. I don't have any idea. It could be anything; real or mythical, though the former happens more than the latter. We shall see. I do know that you will have much of the same powers as the shifters. Best to talk to them when it happens."

"Ok. Who do you want me to send in next?"

He thought for a moment and said, "How about that Jinxx fellow? I'm sure he's dying to know what his gift is."

Jinxx walked into the room they were using for the classifying, which was actually Carlisle's study. They had moved everything out of the way to make sure there would be no accidents with people's new abilities. He went and sat down in the chair, hoping this wouldn't take long. He actually wanted to spend some quality time with Chrysta and help her get acquainted with her new power. He knew it was stressing her out.

He sat down in front of Eleazar, who began speaking to him after analyzing him like everyone else. "You are The Mystic. You have the power to create fire anytime you wish. You might want to use caution around here with that one due to us being flammable. Can you handle that?" Jinxx nodded. "Yeah, I can. I'll practice with the Quileutes. It's safer there." Eleazar nodded as well. "Fair enough. Can you send in…what's her name…Lourdes?" Jinxx said sure and went ahead and sent her in. This was going to be interesting, he thought.

Lourdes walked in, blue eyes wide with fear at the thought of being alone with a vampire. But she knew her big brother was in the other room and that these vampires were the ones with a sense of right and wrong. I am safe, she thought. I am safe. She walked in and sat down, looking up silently.

Eleazar went up to her and gently said "Are you scared of me?" She nodded and said "How did you know?" He smirked and said "That's your power. You are telepathic. Similar to Edward, only you can also project your thoughts to other people. Like reverse mind-reading. You can also control yours with time.

Her eyes lit up and she flipped her hair back. "Awesome! Hey Andy! I'll bet I can guess whatever you are thinking right now!" She skipped out of the room happily while Eleazar shook his head. He decided to take a break to tell the gathered of his suspicions.

He finally had them all seated and ready to listen when he revealed his thoughts to them. "So here's what I think; I think The Volturi is 100% responsible for this. For bringing you here, you all developing gifts, the whole bit. And I think they are after you. I believe Aro is trying to add to his collection. The man is obsessed with power and that is the only way he achieves it, especially with the Witch Twins."

Jasper had a deep frown on his face and seemed disturbed. "But Eleazar, it's been 7 years since we heard from The Guard. What would they want from us now? We have not broken any laws. Once again, they seek a way to destroy us!" Eleazar agreed, saddened by this development. "I'm afraid so, Jasper. My point is this, my gifted mortals; are you willing to fight?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to maintain your freedom?"

He was surprised when everyone showed their approval.

He smiled and said "Well then, we should finish classifying your powers and get you started with training." He pointed to Ashley and said "I'll take you." Ashley just smiled and said "Hell yeah. I'll bet I get something awesome." Rachel shook her head and rolled her eyes and said "Don't count on it, Outlaw."
