Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural, Twilight, or the lyrics. They all belong to the people who created them.
A/N: This is an idea I've been playing with for some time, and I've finally decided to write it. This fic is a crossover between the CW show Supernatural, and the novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. There will be spoilers from both the show and the books, so keep that in mind while reading. Also, this takes place in the Supernatural universe before All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1. I ask that if you like this story, you pass the word along to your friends who share an interest in Supernatural or Twilight. Thank you all in advance!
The Edge of Night
Preface
-
Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night

Never had any of them had believed it would come to this. Not even those who had seen it coming- the raven haired pixie, the angel with chestnut locks, or the brunette hunter. None of them. But then, they hadn't truly understood what they had seen until it was too late. It was the kind of thing that horrified even the most hardened of hearts, tormented even the souls of monsters. No matter how carefully they had constructed their protection, no matter how strong their defenses, it had all come down to nothing in the end.
Their foes had planned cunningly, enemies uniting momentarily to meet a common goal- a goal they had nearly accomplished. And still might. The impulsiveness of the angel's desperate actions had won them small ground, but they still balanced on a knife's edge. A single misstep could plunge them all into an existence of eternal hell.
The family was quiet, gathered in the bedroom like sentries of death as they stood watch over the hunter. They all didn't have to be empaths, the way the soldier was, or to read thoughts, like the lion, to feel each other's pain- it rested thick and heavy over them, a cloud of doom. What hurt one member of the family wounded another, and they feared for the designs that threatened to shred the hearts of all they loved.
A ripple when through them all as the hunter stirred with a moan- the first sound he had made since his screams and shrieks for the past three days. The soldier felt the flutter of fear that rose in the angel and sent her a wave of calm, extending it to include the rest of the family as they waited with bated breath- though in truth, only one of them needed to breathe.
She accepted the soothing energy gratefully, but it still did not quench her unease at this impending future she had not been able to see. Would he hate her when he awoke? Worse still, would he hate himself? And there was still the issue of his brother to deal with, though that was the furthest thought from her mind at the moment. Nothing mattered besides him. She blinked her topaz eyes, her gaze never moving from his face.
At last, the hunter's eyes fluttered open.

Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade
