Carlisle POV
I stood by the window, listening for Tanya and the others for when they arrived. Alice danced into the room.
"We should be able to hear them in about three minutes," she said. Sure enough, we could soon hear them quickly approaching the house.
"Hello, Carlisle," Tanya said as they arrived.
"Tanya," I greeted.
Nessie ran to Carmen. They had become good friends when they had last visited us.
I glanced at Eleazar. He looked at Nessie for a few seconds. He pulled me aside.
"The child does indeed have the power to summon people," he said.
"Do they have to be real? Or can they be part of her imagination?" I asked, curious about my granddaughter's strange new power.
"They must exist. But the person does not necessarily have to exist in this dimension."
"So you're saying Nessie brought Stephenie here from a whole different dimension."
He sighed. "I'm afraid so."
"Well, can she reverse it?"
"She will be able to eventually. Right now her power is still developing, so it may be some time before she can."
"Do you know how long it will take?"
"No," he said. "It could be anywhere from days to months."
"Eleazar," Tanya called. As he went to talk to her, I went and told Edward what Eleazar had said.
"Go find everyone else and tell them. We have to prepare for the Volturi."
