AN: I own nothing, nothing at all. Nope I do not own twilight. Salt+ Wound= just buckets. So I don't know how well I did with the twist, but this is an idea I was toying with anyway. Being as I've already written most of chapter three, this little tidbit actually fit in quite nicely with my story. Mind you it's short, but it's only meant for half a chapter. Get it chapter 2 1/2? Yeah yeah I know I'm entirely funny! Oh on with the story.....

An Old Moon's Shadow

Chapter 2 &1/2

Of Potions & Spells

Twilight was drawing near the corner of Wickham and Rosenburg. A two story blue house sat illuminated from it's many windows giving it the look of grandeur. Each window contained a bright jewel toned curtain, every window but one. White lace cast the lone window and elegantly cascaded down the pillow topped reading seat. This room was unlike the rest which lay jewel toned and earthy. This room was light and held the illusion of constant spring. A dark haired girl lay on a pale pink quilt reading a history book, when someone knocked at the door.

"Come in," the girl sighed knowing what the woman wanted.

"Well did it work Angelica?" the woman asked knowingly with a waiting smile on her perfect pink lips.

"You know it worked mother," she said looking up from her text "The question is for how long," the girl frowned.

"Oh posh, it will work as long as you keep slipping the potion in her soda at lunch," her mother insisted "I told you the girl will be just fine, she just needs to keep it together long enough to heal, you can't do that in emotional turmoil dear, you can't fix a broken mirror if the pieces won't stay together long enough to use glue."

"I told you how I feel about it!" the girl said bitterly "You quilted me into slipping her the potion, when you knew I was worried about her breaking down! What if she skips a day or gets sick? All those feelings with burst right back through her and I'm worried about what will happen then.... I don't want my friend hurting that way, it would be to much for anyone to bear!"

"The potion and the spell will work, have faith Serene will guide us," her mother said softly "Maybe next time you'll listen to me about those vampires."

"They're not bad mother, they left her to protect her... to give her a normal life," she whispered "They budged it up and hurt her emotionally, but they did it from love."

"Aghhh! Still so naive! What will I do with you? Never let you from my sight! That's what! My own daughter!" shouted her mother "You have much to learn Angelica, stop putting your faith to those vampires my little witchling and start focusing on keeping yourself protected! Next you'll be dating a wolf! Serene forbid!"

"Your being ridiculous mother!" the girl huffed.

"I should hope so!" her mother declared "Those vampires are dangerous. I assume your keeping an eye out for the others? The ones that tracked the girl?"

"They call her Victoria, and the male Lauraunt." she stated "The female has been in Seattle for the last month, the male has entered the outskirts of town and he has been teetering on it's border, the wolves are guarding my friend."

"Alright, that's the best for now. The Mallory's? What of them?" her mother asked.

"I'm keeping an eye on Lauren, they are definitely up to something, Lauren hasn't so much as talked to a human in over two hundred years, and all of a sudden she's Forks most popular? I know we agreed to start from the beginning again, but that's never stopped her ignoring her way through school.... she hasn't even noticed the vampires for Serene's sake as vampires! The girl is completely daft and she wouldn't try at all unless she was working towards something sinister," she said scrunching her eyebrows in concentration.

"Well maybe my daughter isn't as naive as she pretends to be?" Her mother question.

"I'll keep an eye on Lauren and the Nomad mother," she smiled "Tonight we are all safe."

"For that I am glad, but be weary daughter it may be us who must deal with the nomads, but for now goodnight and I love you my Angelica," her mother said walking towards the door.

"I love you too," she smiled "Goodnight."

"Oh and don't forget the spell," her mother said with a soft click of the door.

"Of course," she said sadly rising from her bed towards her window; twilight had fallen.

She peered out into it's darkened depths, "Forgive me Bella, but it's truly for own good, you need to feel again, whatever that feeling may been, I can't take it away, not for forever," she whispered as a duo of tears grazed her cheeks.

Angela Webber threw open her window breathing in the rush of night air, squeezing her eyes closed. Wind twirled her dark locks from her face. A familiar tale brought the wind, her eyes shot open and she gasped for breath.

"Their back."

AN: If your wondering why dear Angela was surprised Bella talked to her in the last chapter it is because she didn't expect her potion and spell duo to work so quickly. It's a bit of guess work when tinkering with matters of the heart. Just so you know.
