The Crimson Twilight
Prologue:: Moon Children
Hello fanfiction readers I know for some time you people thought that I was dead or something like that. I also know that a lot of you are soooo pissed off with the fact that I have not updated my stories in a while and I must say I am so very sorry for that but I ran into a bit of writers block and I am in them midst of doing some major revamping to both of them so please bare with me. This right here though shall be my Twilight/Harry Potter Crossover with some themes from Charmed. So please let me know what you think about it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Twilight, or Charmed cause if I did their would be lots of slash and lots of smex ;)
The sky was darkened as black clouds moved effortlessly across the once clear skies. Citizens of Rome ran to and fro instinctively knowing that to be caught in this dark storm would spell certain death. A sudden wind swept through the glorious city, bringing with it a chill that penetrated the soul of a human. It was told by the oracle of Delphi, by the speaker of that great God Apollo that tonight was not a night for people to be out in the streets. The oracle spoke of two shadows that would move throughout the city destroying any that stood in their way.
Romulus was no foolish man and heeded the oracles warning and demanded his people to be inside before the darkness fell. A few were still skeptical, the few that did not believe in the new Gods that had been set before them. It would be the very last mistake that they made.
Lord Hadrian moved silently throughout the darkened city of Rome, a gorgeous man to behold he was. He could easily be mistaken for one of the heavenly God's that reside upon Olympus and passed judgment on the mortal souls under their rule. He was extremely tall standing nearly seven feet in height with shoulder length silver hair and piercing green eyes. His face was strong and masculine with a powerful square set jaw and an aquiline nose. His skin seemed to be made out of the finest porcelain and flawless to the eyes. Many non-believers conformed then thinking it was Hades come to steal their souls. He took in the elegant city so different than what he was use to but he was one a mission, his one last and final mission. He turned his gaze up towards a hill where a majestic temple made out of gold and silver with the moon shining bright and full over it and sniffed the air. He knew exactly where he needed to go now.
On the opposite side of the grand city another Lord of great lineage, lineage that outdates Rome herself. Lord Kazuki of the Eastern Sun was also walking along the darkened streets briefly stopping to smirk at the people of the city of Rome. The people were sure they were looking at one of Olympus perfect inhabitants. The man was taller than most standing at 6 ft 3in with long silky jet black hair with a few midnight blue strands that fell elegantly to his mid back which he kept in an elegant ponytail. His face was angular and looked to be chiseled out of marble. His skin was pale and flawless, his eyes were almond shaped and an enchanting silver color that seemed to glow in the eerie darkness. He looked like he was gliding more so than he was walking as he passed along the streets. He knew his time was drawing to a close but there was one finally thing he had to do. He looked once more to the moon as it shined down upon her temple and he knew where it was he needed to be.
Up upon the hilltop stood the proud Temple of Selene the moon goddess. Unlike the many other Gods and Goddesses of Olympus she stayed in her celestial plane to watch down upon the earth at night. Also unlike the other Gods who cruelly made the humans serve and worship them she did no such thing and thus many paid her true homage. She only had one temple and she only had to vessels to care for it.
Just as the story of Romulus and Remus the famous twins who began to build the city of Rome. Their were twin sisters found upon the hill where the Temple was built. Lucillia and Livia were twins of unknown origins but were widely speculated to be the blessing of Selene herself. The two girls both had pale moonlight colored skin, soft and silky ink black hair that fell to their waists, eyes the color of silver blue crystals, high cheekbones and small noses. The two girls grew up loved and cherished and were often offered many offers of marriage and yet they declined. They knew what their purpose was and tonight it would be fulfilled.
Lord Hadrian found himself standing next to Lord Kazuki an old acquaintance of his from their olden days. He smiled at his long time friend and rose and eyebrow in curiosity.
"Long ways away from home aren't we Lord Kazuki? What brings you here I wonder, the same night I am here. The most sacred night to the Goddess Selene and those who follow her teachings?" he said a slight edge to his normally smooth baritone. Kazuki merely shrugged his tone away and smirked.
"The same reason that you are here I presume?" He said as the man gave him a warning growl. "I am far from intimidated old friend besides I doubt we are here for the same people. It is high time for us to leave this world and we should be thankful that Selene has given us this chance to continue at least a small part of our legacy. This shall be the end old friend, so come let us go meet the twins of Selene and let us depart from this tiresome world." He said calmly as he moved silently and swiftly up the stairs and into the temple before darting to the left. Hadrian followed his friend but upon reaching the apex of the temple something incredible happened.
The most alluring scent seemed to pierce every thought in his brain, every cell in his body, and he swore for a second that his heart which had long since stopped beating thumped a couple of times in anticipation. The scent was alluring and seductive and it called to his very being. His fangs elongated on their own and he could feel the venom dripping from them as he moved to the right and past a shower of silvery curtains.
He entered to find himself in a room decorated in deep gold's and whites giving the room a feel of angelic presence and serenity. He stopped his admiration of the room as the scent tingled his senses again and he looked to the left and upon the bed lay a beautiful young woman whose unique eyes seemed to seep into his very soul.
"Lord Hadrian, it is a pleasure to finally meet the man that has plagued my mind since my accepting of Selene's teachings. You are far more handsome than I imagined" she said whispering the last part and bowing her head. Hadrian didn't know why but in a blink he moved, much to fast for a human and was by her side in the bed lifting her chin so that her eyes were looking at him. He knew now why this scent was doing such torturous things to him it was because she was his mate. He inhaled her scent once more as he used his power to enter her mind.
"Livia………what a beautiful name for one so exquisite. Little one I believe that you are my mate. Such a shame that I find you so late in my long life only for me to have only this night to be with you. My time has come and gone and the last anchor of my spirit is leaving this place as I speak. In my long life I have never had a regret until now." He spoke softly his words like smooth flowing honey to her ears. She knew he would leave but she wouldn't let him go without at least one night together.
"I know that you must leave soon and my heart already aches for the one it knows is the perfect match for itself. Please give me one night, one night to remember you by and hold me till dawn till it is time for you to pass away that is all I ask my Lord." She said pushing herself into his cold hard chest and gripping his toga tightly. Hadrian encased the warm body in his arms and lifted her head once more to place a kiss to her petal soft lips.
"I shall do that and more Livia. I shall give you this night so that for all eternity you may have something to remember me by. My mate my dear sweet beautiful mate, I love you." He spoke to her as the lights in the bedroom suddenly goes out. Across the hall in Lucillia's room Kazuki had just explained the same to his beloved as the light in the temple became non-existent.
Come the next morning both sisters awoke to find themselves alone in their beds. Their hearts mourned the loss of their mates that they only got to know for one night. The two women carried on with their lives as usual until they began to notice the swelling of their stomachs and instantly began to brighten. They knew that even though their mates were gone they would always have a piece of them with the children they carry now.
The women knew that their children were special, they knew that the kids would be viewed as something amazing and awe-inspiring but at the same time they knew times would change. The change that would come would not paint their children in a wonderful light but put them up on the chopping block.
Soon the women went into labor at exactly the same time. There was only two people there to help deliver the babies and in no time two beautiful healthy boys were brought into the world. The eldest cousin by a mere minute was called Hadrian after his father. He had his mothers jet black hair but his father's features and stunning emerald orbs. The second was to be named Tsuki. He was a beautiful baby with the soft features of his mother, his father's dual-tone hair and his mother's unique eyes.
It was during the reformation of religion in Rome that the mothers figured it would be time for them to send their sons away. They had grown old with age while their sons didn't seem to age beyond their 17th winter. So it was with a heavy heart that the two young men left their mother and the glorious city of Rome to began a new life. Little did they know that at the time of the reformation a little boy named Aro had been left for dead in the corner and his ruby eyes stared out into the city with a promise of vengeance.
Edward Cullen was far from stupid, after all after a few centuries of schooling it is pretty hard to revert back to an idiot. Yet, that still did not stop him from making an idiotic choice. He knew now that he shouldn't have left Bella. He watched with a broken heart as her and Jacob Black lay in her bed holding each other, bodies still intertwined and sweaty from their session of lovemaking. He felt the ice cold stone in his chest that he called his heart fracture and break into tiny shards of frozen muscle. He was sure that the love they shared though would have been enough for her to remain faithful to him. If he could cry tears right now he would have. He looked up one last time only to see Jacob smirking at him in victory. He could read that boys thoughts plain as he could anyone else's.
"You lose Cullen she's mine now, my mate. She bears my mark, my claim, mine forever."
Edward could only nod his acceptance to the smug werewolf and take off back towards his home. It hurt him so much to know the girl he fought for had not been able to wait for him, and had left him for a werewolf. The fury that he felt he pushed it away as he ran. He let his legs take him far and fast. He knew he couldn't run away from the pain but he damned sure was going to try. He had come to rest at the edge of the forest and was greeted with a sight he hadn't expected.
The old Northshire Manor had been completely remodeled and restored. It reminded him vaguely of a grand palace with its sheer enormity and vastness and yet there was something more mysterious to it. Whomever was moving in had money that was for sure. The once dead grass was green with life and several trees lined the long path to the house. A large silver crystal fountain replaced where the old stone one was. It was the picture of two beautiful women.
On both sides of the path there were rather large Japanese styled ponds that held many of the country's fishes. There were Sakura trees that bloomed and showered pink petals all over the place, leaving the pleasant scent all over the property. Yes whoever came here had the money to redo the grand place and make it seem like it was spring time all year round here.
Edward smiled inwardly at the beauty of the place and the serenity it seemed to give off which helped him to settle his chaotic thoughts. He took in every detail of the property that he could see intent on sharing it with Esme who would love it. He sighed as he looked at his watch. He knew he needed to be going home before anyone got worried. Edward was not excited to tell his family of what he had seen and what it meant. So with a leap he was off back into the forest.
Eyes watched as Edward flew off back towards the Cullen's residence. The owner of those eyes let out a growl in his throat as he turned to face the only other occupant of the house who was busy arranging the flowers for their meditation room.
"And for all your supposed information gathering skills you fail to realize that we were near a Coven of vampires and a pack of werewolves?" he hissed at the figure who only smiled in amusement.
"It's been far too long since we've been around anyone other than humans, I figured it would be a nice change you know. Then again it's not like we wouldn't blend in with the humans eh…………..Hadrian?" the shorter one purred in amusement.
"Its Harry now, you do best to remember that little one." He said in amusement as the shorter one huffed and continued his work. "Something tells me though that this little town is going to be far more drama than any other place we've been so far." He said looking once more out of the window.
Edward arrived home to find everyone sitting in the living room waiting for him. He took one look at Alice who bowed her head and knew that his family knew something was wrong at least. Jasper immediately sent out waves of comfort and ease to his brother to help him tell whatever needed to be told.
"I see Alice has informed everyone that something has happened today I guess?" he said as everyone nodded. Edward really didn't know how to say it, he still didn't know what to think. Every time he thought about it his anger reached new heights. So the best thing for him to do was to just get it all out. At least he knew with his family he wouldn't be misjudged or rejected.
"She cheated on me, she has allowed Jacob Black to claim her. She just let herself be taken by him, not only in body but in heart and soul. Did she ever truly love me or did she love the idea of what I am?! She betrayed my trust and now once again I am alone in this world." He whispered as Esme rushed to his side along with Alice to hug him. They all knew that Edward didn't deserve this no matter what, Bella shouldn't have cheated on him and then allowed herself to become the mate of a werewolf.
The Cullen's were at a loss of what to do. They couldn't hurt her just for being unfaithful to Edward that would be petty. Yet When Edward broadcasted the entire thing and the thought of the smug little werewolf they knew there would be no more friendly interaction with Bella and them and outright hostility between the vampires and werewolves. After everyone had calmed down Esme decided to speak on the manor.
"Edward you were correct I would love to see it one day hopefully I'll be able to meet the owners soon and get a look for myself. But dear me, it was the most gorgeous thing I've seen in awhile especially in this dreary little place. I'm surprised Alice usually you know about new people when they come into town." Esme said looking at Alice who looked frustrated.
"I know but for some reason every time I seem to try and see something dealing with the place or its inhabitants there's like a black veil that prevents me from seeing anything!" she said wringing her tiny little hands. Jasper immediately sent calming waves to her as he held her hand. She smiled up and him and looked back to Edward.
"Well it seems for once we are completely in the dark. We will deal with Bella later when the time comes but not now. The main thing is trying to find out who these new people that came into town are and how come I'm not able to see anything about them. Maybe there are children staying with them, with any luck we might have us a new student at school and then we can figure things out for ourselves."
The parking lot at Forks High School was packed as usually with children that were coming back for another year of school. By now everyone had heard of the people living in Northshire Manor. No one still hadn't seen hide nor tail of the people living there but everyone assumed or hoped that their would at least be one new kid coming to the high school. The Cullen's were all just getting out of the Volvo as Jacob and Bella walked out the doors.
Bella stopped as her eyes caught Edward. 1000 things went through her head at once. She wished she had waited now, she was with Jacob, and she was bonded, what would happen with her and Edward. Jacob laid a hand on her shoulder and she smiled up at him still cautious and began to make her way towards the Cullen's.
Jacob had to hurry up and grab Bella to move her out the way as two vehicles swerved into the two spots that separated her from Edward and his siblings. The first vehicle was a MV Agusta F4 CC the most expensive motorcycle on the market. It was done in a beautiful design of white and gold. The second was a Lamborghini Gallardo done in an impressive black and silver. The engines were cut off and soon everyone was staring at the two expensive automobiles and there owners in awe.
The Cullen's were impressed those vehicles were not cheap and not sold to just no anybody whoever these people were, obviously had to live in Northshire Manor. The one on the motorcycle hopped off and took off his helmet and even Rosalie had to open her mouth and the stunning looks the young man possessed.
The boy was probably half an inch short than Edward with gorgeous sexy tousled jet black hair that fell to his shoulders. His square jaw was strong and his skin pale and flawless with a hint of rose in his cheeks. His eyes were prime cut emeralds with a shine to them. His nose was small yet proud and fit his face. In his left ear he wore a black diamond. His body was lean but with a definite hint of powerful muscle beneath. He wore black designer jeans that fit him quite nicely with a white gold collared button up shirt and some black and gold converse very simple chic but on him it was outstanding. He chuckled with a smooth baritone that sent shivers down some people's spine.
"You win this time, but next time I promise you I will" he said as the door to the car opened and a small hand appeared at the door.
For the second time people were speechless where this boy was gorgeously handsome the one that stepped out the car was beautiful. The boy had long jet black hair with midnight blue streaks that blended in with the black that fell to his back in soft waves. He stood taller than most people at five eleven. His face was quite soft with skin flawless and pale as moonlight. His almond eyes spoke of some Asian descent but the unique color no one could place. He wore a tight black button up shirt with a white vest over the top, his designer jeans were white with black designs and he wore black converse also. Unlike the other he wore a black necklace around his neck with a white diamond cross. He smiled at the other boy before laughing a soft musical laugh that seemed to enchant a few people.
"I don't know about that midnight here is quite the car haha." He said before getting his back pack out the back of the car. Jacob and Bella couldn't do anything more than stare at the two beautiful people in front of them. Jacob was about to say something rude but as if his thoughts were read the shorter one focused on Bella and him.
"I am quite sorry we almost ran you over but maybe if you paid more attention to your surroundings you wouldn't have been crushed to death and had to have been saved by this boy here!" he said in a very friendly tone that belied the sarcasm of the statement. "I do hope you will be more careful in the future since I have a tendency not to stop after I've given fair warning well we must be off tata now little girl!" he said as he hooked his arms with Harry who smirked at the stunned faces of Bella and Jacob and walked past them.
"Was that really necessary dear cousin of mine?" Harry asked as they made their way towards the main office. Tsuki just gave him a small smirk in return which made Harry shake his head. "Now you know that rumors are going to be flying around all over the place huh?" he said as he opened the door.
"Why of course Hadrian, I do which is exactly why I did it. I am always amused by the fantasies humans can make up in their minds aren't you?" he said before going inside and right up to the receptionist desk. Harry sighed at the use of his original name but leaned against the door and waited until his cousin came back with their schedules.
"Well, well, well, it seems like me and you share all but two classes together! Shall we get going to history then?" he said linking arms again. Harry just sighed as he began to walk towards their designated class.
"History, history, history, Tsuki we've lived history hell we are part of history need I remind you! Let us just get this day over with but with our luck something tells me today is not going to be an easy day." He said as the entered the empty classroom to wait for everyone else.
Everyone in the parking lot was stunned first two gorgeous and obviously rich boys show up today and then disrespect the Jacob Black and his girlfriend. The rumors were starting up already, the most popular one was that Bella had almost been killed by relatives of the Cullen's because of her unfaithfulness. The Cullen's themselves were at a loss about the two young men. Alice growled loud enough for her family to hear.
"I don't know what's going on with them or inside that manor but something is effectively blocking my power!!!" she hissed so that her family could hear her. Jasper placed a loving hand on her shoulder as he spoke.
"I couldn't feel any emotion coming off of them. Even the coldest of people have some sort of emotion but when I tried to get theirs all I got was nothing like they weren't even there. Edward?" he said as he looked up at the bronze haired vampire.
"Nothing from both of them. I can't read their thoughts at all. It feels like something is blocking me also, like some sort of shield around their minds." He stated before thinking hard. They cant be vampires they would have known that besides all of them could hear the blood flowing through their veins and their heart that was still pumping.
"Something doesn't feel right about this we should definitely keep an eye on them today see what they are all about? Something tells me our new students are not just here for academics." Edward hissed out until he felt Rosalie step forward just in time to block Bella from getting close to him.
Bella had seen the Cullen's whispering and speaking with each other. She was pretty sure it was about the new kids and probably about how she was now with Jacob and how she had given herself to him and not waited for Edward. She made to approach them and was shut off from the one person that never liked her the beautiful Rosalie. Jacob was behind her growling at the pretty vampire who narrowed her eyes at Jacob like he was some common dirty dog.
"We have nothing to say to you, and you have nothing to say to us. You have made your decision to be with a dog so go lay with him……..again." she hissed as she brushed past her and gave Jacob and light push that still sent him backwards a bit as the others followed behind her. Edward sent his sister a smile. It wasn't often Rosalie got like this but she did love her family. Now Edwards main focus was on the two new boys and what the could possibly be hiding.
Soooooooooo what do you think I would love some feedback on this because this is just a sample I have this planned out how I want it to go but I just wanted to get the prologue out the way and introduce the characters and the situations, and what not so that when I start with the actual chapters things will be highly more interesting. So please read and review and let me know what u think okay thanks!!!
