The Moonlight in the Dark

By: Sandreline

Hello everyone! I still cannot begin to understand how this story is so popular… in all honesty: my heart is not in this piece of work. I was doing this because the idea popped in my head, and I wanted to get it out. It sucks.

I AM proud of my Sailor Moon / Supernatural crossover. I have been having so much fun writing it, and my muse is singing loud and proud to feed me with non-stop ideas! So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go read Hunter's Moon and review for me! I would like to have more feedback on how it is doing.

In the mean time, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 4: A Little Bit Calmer Now

(I'm in a strange house,) Serenity thought, (that is probably far from the town, and completely surrounded by vampires.) Her mind paused as she thought of the story of her life. (Its official, someone up there hates me.)

She decided to review what she knew: She was on a jog with Luna and Artemis, when they found a vampire. Said vampire (Emmett?), kidnapped her and brought her back to the coven, where she currently found herself. They did not kill the man last night, nor did they drink human blood. (Still, from what Luna and Artemis told me, I should do my best to keep them away so they cannot smell me. I am not a human, so who knows what they think of Lunarian blood!)

"Question?" Serenity asked, causing the bickering family of vampires to turn to her. "I though that vampires could not go outside during the day, or they would turn to ash?"

The leader, Carlisle, smiled warmly. "While it is true that we cannot venture out into the sunlight, the whole business of turning into ash is an old wives tale." He stated.

The mind reader, who thankfully was smart and being careful so as not to intrude on her thoughts, crossed his arms over his chest. "We… sparkle."

Serenity's eyes widened as she tried not to laugh. "Sparkle?" She asked, holding out a hand and waving her fingers. "Like glitter?"

The male vampires shifted on one foot to the other, and Emmett had the decency to turn his head away in embarrassment. The Lunarian could not help it; she began to laugh. "You sparkle!" She laughed more. "Vampires are not supposed to sparkle!" A mental image of all of them covered in multicolored glitter and shining in the light flashed in her minds eye. She did not even stop to glare at Edward as he chuckled from her thought.

"Trust me, I would rather not." Emmett muttered. "It isn't as manly."

"Oh hush." Esmé berated even though she had a big grin on stretching her lips.

"I think it's about time she starts answering some of our questions." Rosalie cut in, sending the laughing female a glare.

Serenity quickly sobered up and sent a glare just as icy towards the blonde bloodsucker. "I can assure you that I will tell you what I want you to know, and if you should even try to force me to do anything otherwise, you will find yourself a pile of moon dust before you can blink."

Rosalie let out a growl, but was silenced by her husband placing his large hands on her shoulders. "Easy Angel," He told her as he pulled Rosalie flush against is chest. "I think she is fine. Besides, Edward said she wouldn't hurt us if we didn't do anything to her first."

"Still," Jasper spoke up finally, "it would be courteous for her to share who she is, considering she knows who we are."

Esmé moved to sit near, not to close, to Serenity with a motherly smile soft on her face. "Would you mind, Serenity?" She asked.

The Lunarian looked around the room as she mentally debated. From what her advisors told her, and until she could be sure as to her safety, she supposed she would keep her full identity a secret. However, she would tell them enough to satisfy their curiosity, for now, as a peace offering. "I guess you can call me a magic user." She spoke softly. "I defend the world from Chaos, the ultimate evil. It is my duty to keep the Balance of good and evil, and protect this planet."

"You mean like Glenda?" Emmet asked.

Serenity was not the only one to chuckle at that. "In a way, I guess you can say that; though you will never catch me wearing that fluffy pink dress."

Alice smiled warmly, stepping forward before moving to sit beside her. "Why are you here?" Alice's soft voice asked.

That question caused her joking mood to disappear. Her body tensed as she put a mental block on her thoughts, lowing her face to stare at her hands folded on her lap. "I do not wish to discuss it."

For just the briefest of moments, Alice saw the woman before her standing with a tall, black haired man with blue eyes. Just as soon as it appeared, it was gone again. She decided to keep silent about it, and instead placed a hand on Serenity's.

The Lunarian looked down at the ice-cold hand on top of her, and looked up into Alice's kind amber eyes. She gave a soft smile as some of the tension left her body.

"You know, Serenity," Esmé spoke up with her motherly smile once more on her face, "I had asked Edward to give you a tour, since you were knew here. I figure that it will be a great way for you to learn your way around town, and make a new friend."

Alice, having caught onto her mother's plan, clapped her hands eagerly. "That sounds like a wonderful idea!"

Serenity looked a little skeptical. "It does?" She asked softly.

"Of course!" Alice added, standing up herself before turning to pull Serenity to her feet. "I know that you are going to become very close to our family. This would be a great way to start!" Pausing, she looked down at Serenity's current attire – sport bra and running shorts. "However, first my dear brother will take you home so that you may change into more appropriate clothing."

Serenity blushed as she pointed to her kidnapper. "I didn't exactly have time to change when he took me!" Emmett only laughed.

Jasper came to stand behind his wife, pulling the pixie-like vampire into his embrace. "In any event, it might be wise to change before my Alice takes you shopping."

Said vampire's face lit up like the fourth of July. "That sounds like a wonderful idea! We will have to do that soon- maybe tomorrow…"

Edward came forward, wrapping his frozen hand around her upper arm to pull her away. "It is best to leave now, before my sister can lecture you on proper fashion." He began to walk away, Serenity easily following due to her state of shock. "I will drive."

(You don't know where I live, and even if you did there is no way you can get past the wards.) She thought just before Edward stopped.

"What wards?" He asked, his head tilting slightly to the side as in confusion as his wonderfully perfect brown hair fell-

"Stay out of my head!" Serenity blushed in both embarrassment and anger as she mentally crossed her fingers in hopes that he did not hear her last thoughts. "That is such an invasion of privacy, you know!"

Edward held up his hands in defense as he moved to open the garage door. "You have very loud thoughts."

(Oh yeah? Let's see how you like this!) She mentally challenged, just before she began to sing. (Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight…)

Edward smirked, but held up his hands again. "Alright, you win. I will do my best to stay out."

Serenity smirked proudly as Edward opened the passenger door to his silver Volvo for her. Gracefully she fell into the seat, and before her door was shut all the way, Edward was sitting in the driver's seat and shifting into reverse. It took the Lunarian all of a blink of an eye before she was holding onto the 'Oh Shit' bar of the Volvo and thanking all the gods she knew that she was use to Haruka's driving.

"Not use to speed?" Edward asked with a cocky smirk.

"Not use to suicidal vampires driving." She responded. "You're not even wearing your seatbelt!"

Edward laughed warmly, the sound of his voice sending shivers down her back. "You are not wearing one, either." He pointed out.

Serenity grumbled about not being given time as she fumbled with the seatbelt, which only caused Edward to laugh more. The snapping of the seatbelt was heard as she finally got it in without being sent sideways as Edward took the turns at high speed. "You know, just because you are immortal doesn't mean you should push your chances of a car accident!" she chastised.

Edward laughed again. "I could say the same to you." Serenity tensed at his words. "I know that you are immortal too." He continued, his gold eyes staying on the road. "You do not smell like other humans; your scent is free from death."

"You know Sherlock, if you keep asking questions it is going to take the mystery right out of this strange relationship we have." She commented.

Edward laughed again, surprising himself as he rarely did such a thing. "I am sure that you are full of surprises, so giving me this on will not hinder us in the least."

(Smarty pants.) She mentally grumbled, causing Edward to laugh again. It was another moment or two before she finally answered. "Yes, I am an immortal."

"Now was that so hard?" Edward baited her as he pulled onto the small street leading to her house.

"You are a master of interrogation." She replied as she spotted her house. Edward's car came to a screeching halt outside her home just a few feet from the wards. Serenity was not even aware of Edward getting out of the car, and yet he was opening her door for her. "Um, thank you." She said softly, accepting his offered hand to help her out of the nice vehicle.

Serenity walked up the small path to her front door, turning around when Edward was not following her. She smirked as she caught him glaring at the boundary they had set up around the home. "Having trouble?" She asked.

Edward scowled slightly, before hisses of anger were heard. "Serenity, get back!" Artemis ordered her as he and Luna came bounding out of the house.

"Guys, it' ok." She told the two cats who had moved to stand protectively in front of her.

She went unheard. "It's ok, he cannot get passed the wards." Luna spoke. "Use the Crystal, quickly."

"So you are the talking cats that my brother was so surprised at." Edward spoke as he looked at the two with a slight tilt to his head.

"Luna, Artemis, may I present to you Edward Cullen?" Serenity told her advisors as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Both cats deflated at her words. "Serenity, how do you know his name?" The white cat asked.

"Because a proper introduction is usually what you do when you meet new allies, Artemis." She told them. "Let him in while I go change. I will explain when I come downstairs." Without waiting she spun around to enter her small home and go up the stairs to change, smirking at the torture that the felines were about to put the male vampire through.

Sure enough, when she came back down the stairs she was greeted by the glaring match of the century, a growl being heard every few seconds but from which of the three she was not sure. Shaking her head, she clapped her hands. "Alright, break it up. We are all friends, for now." She told them all.

"What are you doing with this blood sucker?" Luna's shrill voice cried out.

Serenity glared and moved to pick both cats up, placing them on the couch further away from the male vampire. "Edward and his family are different from other vampires. They do not feed on human blood."

"You are being too trusting, as always!" Luna admonished with a growl.

"All vampires drink human blood. The proof is in their eyes." Artemis stated.

"And what color are mind, oh great feline?" Edward asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Re-" Artemis began, before actually taking a moment to look. "Amber." His own blue eyes widened. "Your eyes are amber!"

Edward nodded, before taking a seat. "My family and I call ourselves vegetarians, in the fact that we do not drink human blood. We feed on the blood of animals, like bears and deer."

"Now that this has been cleared up, Edward and I are going to go explore the town. Bye!" Serenity told them as she motioned for Edward to move it. Edward chuckled, but did as she told him and moved to exit her house, already outside and holding open her door.

"Usagi…" Luna whispered with hesitation in her voice. "Be careful. I do not trust him."

"Don't worry Luna, I can take care of myself, remember?" She told the black cat.

"Fine job you did of that earlier! We were worried sick about you!" Luna threw back.

The Lunarian held up her hands. "I'm sorry, I really am. But it's ok, Edward and his family are pure souls. I checked." She reached down to lovingly pet the black feline on her head. "I have my communicator if you need to get a hold of me." She told them.

"Be safe." Artemis said with a smile, his protective urges having been sated.

Serenity blew them both a kiss before shutting the door behind her and walking back to the Volvo. "So where to?" She asked as she sat down.

"Just hold on." Edward replied as he closed her door and was driving away a second later as Serenity quickly grabbed her 'Oh Shit' bar.

"Seatbelt!"
