A glistening view met her eyes as they opened. So many colors, textures, and different characteristics could be seen with Sadie's new vision. She blinked slowly, even if she didn't feel like she had to, and breathed in.

With that breath, Sadie panicked. The feeling of relief she used to get with every inhalation was gone, and Sadie sat up, clutching her chest, convinced that she was choking.

A white hand grabbed her own, and a quiet voice said into her ear, "Relax. Just ignore the feeling, you'll get used to it."

Sadie's new sight turned up to see Carlisle, the father of the Cullen family, looking at her. However, although he was still the same, he looked so different. Sadie could now see every angle of his face; the way the light hit his hair and highlighted locks of it, making the yellow even brighter. She could notice every little movement he made, every time his nostrils twitched as he breathed, the way his muscles moved beneath his skin. It was amazing.

Sadie closed her eyes for a moment, and then looked at Carlisle again, trying to get used to seeing such detail. As she looked at him again, she began to notice her surroundings.

They were in the middle of the forest, snow covering every part of it. Sadie looked down at her hands, which were so much paler than they had been before, but were still darker than the snow they were on. For a second, Sadie stared at them, unsure of why she felt something was wrong. Then, she figured it out: the snow was supposed to be freezing cold against her skin, and instead, she didn't feel the temperature of it at all.

Shocked, Sadie pulled her hand away quickly. Too quickly. Her hand vanished before she could even blink.

"Gah," Sadie exclaimed, pulling herself back. This was all too much to absorb.

"It's ok," Carlisle's quiet voice reassured her. Sadie, careful to be very slow this time, looked back at him. With her new sight she could see a sadness on his features, in his eyes. He looked so mournful.

At that moment, Sadie remembered what had happened before she'd been turned. "The battle," she breathed out in a very quiet tone.

Carlisle heard what she said, and nodded. "Yes, it's still going on."

A frown came over Sadie's features. "But, doesn't it take a long time for a person to become a…" she hesitated for a moment, afraid to say the words aloud, as if her stating her new state would make it true. "… vampire?"

"Yes it does, but, we're pretty evenly matched. No one's been able to get the upper hand in the fight," he answered.

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Sadie exclaimed, and she became a blur as she stood up impossibly quickly. "We have to go help!" The knowledge of her family's abduction was still fresh on her mind, and made her want to race over to the clearing where the battle was taking place and destroy all the Volturi she found.

A restraining hand settled on her shoulder, and she noticed that Carlisle had stood as well. "You can't help. You're still too young, and you've never fought a vampire before."

Sadie stared incredulously at the man who'd watched over her ever since she'd been taken from her home. "But, the reason that they're there in the first place is me," she yelled hysterically. "I caused this war to happen, and now, I'm the only one who can stop it!"

Carlisle opened his mouth to answer, but before he could draw breath, Sadie continued. "Don't I have some sort of power that is supposed to destroy all the vampires? Isn't that why everyone wants me?"

Carlisle, unable to provide a response that would make the new vampire feel better, simply nodded.

"Then I have to go," Sadie said quietly, before listening to the sounds around her. Soon, her ears picked up screams and sounds of grating metal. Guessing that the battle lay that way, she prepared to run.

Sadie inhaled deeply, ignoring the unsatisfied feeling, and took a step forward, then another.

It felt as if she was flying, rather than running. Her feet barely touched the ground, as she raced forward, rushing through the forest at such an impossible speed yet still able to avoid every obstacle in her way. Starting to feel elated, Sadie dodged every tree, jumped over every boulder, and kept herself from tripping in the deep snow as she headed towards the battle lying just a few short miles away.

Behind her, she could hear Carlisle's footsteps, matching her own in speed, but she didn't turn back. Now that she'd realized that she could run almost instinctively, it was time to start working out her strategy.

There were over dozens of Volturi vampires at the clearing, not counting the Cullens, the Alaskan family, and the whole wolf pack. It was probably a chaotic scene, full of madness and gore.

An image of her beloved friend popped into Sadie's head, and she shook it forcefully, dislodging it and letting it get buried by the other things she had to think about. She couldn't afford to mourn Mark now, she'd have to do it later. And she'd get revenge for his death as well.

Turning her thoughts back to the battle at hand, Sadie began to plan what she would do once she arrived at the scene. First of all, she'd have to separate the Volturi from the others, in order to really manage what she was planning to do. Then, she'd have to wing it, and hope that her amazing power, although very new, would be enough to defeat the evil vampire clan.

(A/N) Ok, you guys... I have to apologize for taking so long in writing this chapter, but I've had a really tough time in my life, and summoning up just enough inspiration to do this was extremely difficult. And, I'm also sorry for uploading such a short chapter, but I promise I'll try to make the next one longer.

Oh, and I do not own Twilight, otherwise, this would be a book by now.
