The Moonlight in the Dark

By: Sandreline

Hello everyone! I am back with an all-new Sailor Moon / Twilight crossover! I have been on a roll for updating this week, haven't I? ^_~

Disclaimer: The beloved genius of Naoko Takeuchi owns Sailor Moon, and Stephanie Meyer owns Twilight. I no own, so you no sue!

I hope that all of you enjoy this new crossover. I think we need more SM/Tw crosses, don't you? I hope you like it, and I have no complaints if you wish to review it!

Big super note of the story: Bella Swan does not exist! She never went to Forks, she stayed with her mother and moved to Florida. This takes place after the vampires graduate high school.

Chapter 1: One Door Closes, Another Opens…

Luna's maroon eyes were filled with great worry as she watched her charge pack up her possessions into cardboard boxes and suitcases. The black feline was the guardian of the Moon Princess, the keeper of balance in the galaxy; but currently her ward was letting silent tears run down her cheeks as the Lunarian royal continued to pack away her belongings and the feline had no idea how to help.

"Are you sure this is what you wish to do?" The Mau cat asked with tender affection in her voice.

The young woman stopped moving, slowly standing straight as she stared down into her suitcase. The princess was supposed to be smiling and enjoying the summer, finally graduating high school and beginning her journey as an adult. After the battle with Chaos, the Lunarian began to undergo many changes, unconsciously changing to become the Queen her Mother was and that she will be now that she had attained her full power. Her hair was now mostly silver, with sheen of gold still remaining as opposed to her mother's lavender. She had grown taller and filled out with full womanly curves. Her dark blue eyes had silver flecks in their pools, as if one was looking at the night sky of the universe speckled with the stars.

Those eyes were usually filled with happiness and hope, until she reached her breaking point. The Sailor Senshi had come to her a month or so before, asking permission and her support for them to follow their dreams now that there would be no threats to the world for a few years. The promise of peace and the future of Crystal Tokyo had her friends wanting to spend it as normal young women pursuing their dreams, and since Usagi loved her friends and only wanted their happiness, she gave them her full support and a bright, loving smile as they all left.

However, Crystal Tokyo was not going to be born, despite her friend's beliefs. How could it, when her Prince decided that he would not let destiny make his choices for him? No, not Mamoru. After Chaos, he got right back on that plane to attend Harvard, but not before taking back his engagement ring and wishing her a happy life. How can she, a Lunarian who was now an immortal, live her life without her love in it?

Usagi choked back a tear. "I must, Luna." She turned her sight to her advisor and companion. "I cannot be alone here, with the memories. Everyone is off making their own dreams come to life. I need to move on, and see if I can find a life of my own. Otherwise, the next few thousand years will be lonely."

"You won't be alone. We will come with you." A male voice spoke, originating from the white feline that entered the Lunarian's room. Minako, who was able now to accept the star tour that she won while battling Galaxia, had left Artimis with her Princess and Luna, since she could not take him with her. Artimis moved to sit beside Luna, looking at the tearful young woman before him. "We will be with you the entire way, Usagi."

The young woman smiled softly, moving to pick up both felines and give them a hug. She was able to muffle her sob as she kissed them each on the crescent moons on their foreheads. "Thank you." She whispered.

They stayed that way for awhile, before Usagi set them down and moved to close her suitcase, zipping it up now that everything had been packed. With a wave of her hand, she sent all the boxes into her subspace pocket. Sometimes, there were perks to being an alien with cosmic powers.

"The plane leaves in the morning. Let's have dinner with my family and then get some rest." Usagi advised, her tone still somber as she turned to her guardians.

The next day found them driving down a two lane windy road in the North West of the United States.

"Could you have picked a more remote location?" Artimis whined from the front passenger seat, lowering himself from looking out the window to sit as he turned to glance at his princess. The plane from Tokyo had landed two hours ago, and after picking up the car that Usagi had pre-purchased from the airport they had begun to drive to their new home. But that had been an hour and a half ago, and the feline was getting very bored.

"Oh honestly, Artimis," Luna chided. "I think it is a wonderful idea. The further from the city, the less attention will be brought to us."

"But how will Usagi be able to move on if she is unable to be surrounded by people?" Artimis questioned with a flick of his tail.

"Don't worry, Arty." Usagi said as she drove, slowing down for a bend in the road. "We aren't living alone in the middle of nowhere. We will be living in a town not far from the city."

The cat let out a sigh. He should have known better than to argue with women.

It wasn't that much longer before they finally came to Forks, Washington. The population was around 3,500 people according to her research, and known for its fishing appeal, lumber history, and the train memorials that host one of the last Shay Engines in the state. It also hosted an Olympic national park. The town has a lot of rainfall, due to the oceanic climate. Nearby 'La Push' was a reservation just 14 miles to the west of the town, home to a tribe that is known for its whaling, canoes, and the breeding of special wooly-haired dogs whose coats were used to weave blankets. Recently, they added an ocean-side resort and a re-vamped marina.

Why would a born-and-raised Tokyo girl wish to move to such a place, where the nearest city of Port Angeles was 63 miles away? In all honesty, even Usagi could not answer that one. It was by chance she stumbled upon the location when she was searching for possible new lands to live, and something told her that this place gave off a promise - of what, she had yet to find out.

Usagi pulled over into the Shell gas station to put gas in the tank, and while the car was being filled she took the time to look around from where she was. Telephone lines ran over the street, but large green trees did not fail to meet her vision each way she turned. Unlike Tokyo with skyscrapers so high you had to tilt your head all the way back, the town had few buildings high than two stories. It was very old, and had an air of a simple and peaceful town to it.

The gas pump gave off a ding, letting her know that her car was completely full. She returned the hose to the pump and put on the fuel cap and closing the cover. She quickly re-entered her car, glad to be away from the glances of the locals. She had felt eyes upon her the whole time, and it sort of wierded her out. Turning to the two cats curled up on the seat beside her, she gave a small smile. It was her first true smile in weeks, and despite its small size it gave the cats hopes that this may have been the correct decision for their princess after all. "Next stop, our new home."

Artimis bounced over Usagi's lap as soon as she put her car in park and opened the door to her Mercedes S550, landing on the ground and purring as he stretched out. Luna shook her head at her Mate, walking out after Usagi stood as well and held the door open for her. Usagi waited till Luna had landed before she shut the door and looked over the top of her car to her new home.

When she was looking through listings online back in Tokyo, she knew that she wanted something with privacy, but blended in with the rest of the homes. She would already be sticking out like a soar thumb because of her hair. If Setsuna had not showed her how to access the treasury from the Moon kingdom and change it into the Terran currencies, she would not have been able to purchase this house or her car. The small two-story cabin had a very angular roof, which she knew was to help keep snow from piling up and causing the roof to collapse in the winter months. The glass from the windows was very thick to maintain the heat from the house inside. Off to the side of the house was a covered area for parking her car, but she would park there later. Looking down at her advisors, she held up the keys. "Shall we?"

Alice Cullen closed her eyes, leaning her head to the side against the shoulder of her husband's six foot three inch frame.

"What is it?"

The pixie-like young woman looked up into gold eyes framed with gold curly locks of hair. "My visions - I cannot see what is about to come."

The empathic vampire looked at his wife with surprise. "Do you know what it causing it?"

Alice looked out of the window of the living room into the forest. "The last image I saw was a woman, a female our age with silver hair. That's when everything went blurry."

Jasper wrapped his arms around his wife. "Is she a threat?"

Alice shook her head. "No. We are."

For her sanity, Usagi knew that she had to make a lot of decisions before she ventured out of her home. Her hair was the biggest problem. She looked in the mirror of her bathroom, one silver streamer of hair in her hands. She would have some serious trouble if she kept her hair like this and went out in public in this town. Taking out the Luna Pen, the disguise magic made her hair appear as blonde as it was two years ago. That was easy enough, she thought.

She turned around and leaned against the counter of her bathroom. There was just one more difficulty. It was going to be a little awkward to use the name 'Tsukino Usagi' here in America. The only question that remained was what she was going to use while here.

She spent a little time talking to Luna and Artimis about the matter, and they all reached a decision they liked. She would use her real name, 'Serenity' as her first name, with 'Smith' as her last name. It was a very common last name in the states, and therefore no one would be interested in her family history since she did not have a fancy name.

Currently, Serenity was pushing a shopping carriage around the grocery store, filling it with boxes of cereal, ramen, pasta, pizza, milk, and more. She was more confident in her presence in the town, now that her hair was not such a strange color. She was still being observed by the people here, but now it was just a curiosity that was sated with a quick once-over at the new person in town before they returned back to their business.

Serenity pushed the shopping carriage around the corner, only to accidently knock it into someone else's. "I'm so sorry!" She said, pulling her own back before looking at the woman who she hoped she did not accidentally hurt.

A beautiful woman with light brown hair smiled at her with a warmth that reminded her of a mother. "That's alright, dear. Though you did catch me off guard, normally I could have easily moved to avoid that. No need to exchange insurance."

Serenity smiles warmly in return. This woman's aura was kind and sweet, and she was very beautiful, and not yet in her thirties. "I really am sorry. I didn't cause any harm, like breaking your eggs or anything, have I?"

The woman shook her head. "Not at all, everything is alright. You must have just moved here," She gave a polite nod of her head. "I am Esmé Cullen. Welcome to Forks."

Serenity smiled, offering a nod of her head in reply. "I am Serenity Smith. I just moved here today, actually."

"Well Serenity, I hope you enjoy it. It really is very beautiful here. Have a good day." With that, Esmé gave another smile and moved passed the Lunarian, pushing her carriage down the aisle that Serenity had just finished.

The Moon Princess could not stop the strange feeling she got as Esmé passed her. It was a shiver down her back, but not in an evil sense. It was the sense of one immortal meeting another. Serenity looked over her shoulder to Esmé as the other woman did the same to her, both of them holding confusion in their eyes. Though it seemed to take a minute, the exchange only lasted a fraction of a second, and Serenity found herself shaking her head and continuing to cross off her grocery list. There was no sense looking for trouble, when trouble had the most fortuitous luck at finding her.

Waylon Forge continued to whistle as he walked on the doc, throwing a few materials in his boat. A noise startled him from behind, and he turned around to look for the source. His eyes surveyed the scene, and after a few moments he dismissed it as paranoia. After all, it's not like they had a lot of dangerous activity in Forks.

There is was again – only this time, it was louder. Waylon looked around, his eyes scrunched up. His paranoia was really starting to get to him, so he got inside his boat. Taking the rope off the hook, he turned on the engine to pull away from the small dock.

Only the boat wasn't moving. He turned to look over his shoulder to see a person holding his boat in place. A woman, one with unbelievable beauty, and who was giving him a look as if she could eat him.

"Well, hello." He spoke to her, his tone taking a husky quality. Tonight might be his lucky night.

"Nice jacket." Spoke a different voice, one full of arrogance.

Waylon started, turning to find another man. Where did he come from? "Who are you?"

The blonde man smirked, his teeth flashing dangerously in the light as he spoke slowly. "It's always the same inane questions. 'Who are you'?"

The woman smirked this time, her voice seductive. "'What do you want'?"

The blonde man continued. "'Why are you doing this'?"

Suddenly, another man appeared out of no where. He seemed bored, and was inspecting his finger nails. Waylon's heart was beating a mile a minute as he looked at the three beings around him. The new man suddenly spoke. "James, let's not play with our food."

Waylon did not even have enough time to wonder if the screams he heard were his.

Edward Cullen threw down the newspaper onto the kitchen table. His family littered about the room, each of them beside their respective mates as they looked at the sprawled out paper.

Carlisle Cullen spoke first. "Sherriff Swan has informed me that the police believe Waylon Forge was the victim of an animal attack." He paused as he shook his head. "It was definitely vampires."

Emmett swung an arm over Rosalie's shoulder as he pulled her against him. "So we have some rouge vampires in our territory. Why can't we just tell them to take a hike?"

Jasper Hale shook his head. "If we do that, we will run the risk of upsetting them enough to further their feeding on humans. We have no idea if it is one rouge vampire or a coven." Alice smiled softly at her mate. Before he was turned into a vampire, Jasper had been a Major in the Confederate Army back in 1863. If it was one thing he knew, it was battle strategy.

"So you expect us to just sit around and wait this thing out? Hope that they move on?" Rosalie snapped, flipping her long blond hair over her shoulder.

Esmé gave a stern look to the younger vampire. "Mind your tone, Rosalie. For now, waiting is our best option."

Carlisle nodded his head. "Alice, will you let us know the second you See anything regarding this?"

The pixie-like vampire nodded. "Of course." She smiled warmly to her 'family' as Jasper linked his hand in hers.

"Alice…" Jasper told her.

His wife looked down slightly.

"What's the matter?" Emmett asked.

Edward answered for his sister, his eyes widening. "Her visions have become blurred. She can't see anything."

Esmé looked over in worry, as did Carlisle. "When did this start?" He asked.

"Yesterday." The dark-haired vampire answered. "The last thing I was saw a young woman with long, silver hair. After that, I couldn't make out anything."

"Is she a threat to us?" Rosalie asked, her eyes lowering slightly.

"No. According to Alice, we are a threat to her." Jasper answered, using his powers to remove some of Rosalie's always-fierce temper.

"How can we be a threat to a human?" Emmett questioned, though interest sparked his dark eyes.

"Her blood." Alice spoke. "There is something about this woman I saw…" Her voice became a whisper, and had they all still been humans they would not have heard her. "…she is not human."

"Could she be the vampire that killed Forge?" Carlisle inquired.

"No. She is not human, nor is she a vampire. I am not sure what she is, but she 'is' special." Alice continued, her eyes glazed over slightly as she recalled her vision, and the strange glow that seemed to radiate from the woman.

Carlisle crossed his right arm over his chest to his left elbow as his left hand tap his chin. "Then we must be careful. If she can cloud your visions, Alice, then she is powerful. Remember, we cannot do anything to attract attention. For all we know, the new vampire or vampires that killed Forge are after her. We should do our best to not get involved."

Emmett look bummed at not being able to fight, but he and everyone else agreed.

… ok, I hate how this came out. I really, really do. I'm only posting it because I spent two hours writing it and editing it and editing it again and changing it and editing it again…

So, let me know what you think!

Is this original enough? Not good enough? Have an idea? Tell me!

All my love-
