A/N: Yes, me. The unspeakably awesome Evil's sidekick, who shall bestow you with magnificence that will be spoken about for years to come.
Disclaimer: Evil: What do you own related to Twilight, oh lowly sidekick of mine?
Me: Uh, four books, about a thousand posters and Leah and Edward.
Evil: WRONG! You don't own two of those.
Me: Well, I guess I can live with 998 posters…………
Evil: I mean Leah and Edward, you idiot. Jeez, why did I hire you anyways?

CHAPTER FOUR- The Angel of Moonlight
I wish I had an angel for one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
-Nightwish-Wish I had an Angel
The moon basked everything in an ethereal, other-worldly light and he waited. He knew she was coming, the only real thing he had been confident about. Movement caught his inhumanly sharp eyes, and he relaxed.
She ran, a part of nature, fitting into it, completing it.
He watched as the wolf whose fur glistened in the moonlight gracefully made its way towards him. He watched the long legs bend and unfold in fluid movements as she steadily made her way towards him.
When she finally reached him, they stared at each other for a brief moment. The moonlight caught and enhanced the silver eyes, which were clear for a second.
Flashes of scenes. Seth disappeared. Sam. She had hit Sam.
She locked her mind again, and went behind the bushes. A few moments later, she presented herself in human form. "Hello."
He nodded. "How's Nightwish?"
She smiled, and looked up. Hardly any stars were visible, due to the incredible light of the full moon. "Old loves, they die hard. Old lies, they die harder." She half-sang, half-said. "Nightwish is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard."
"Beauty." He pronounced it in an experimental voice. "Is there such a thing?"
"Do you doubt it?" She grinned. "Are you about to reveal that you have no real appreciation for beauty at all? Come on."
"It's so rare." He admitted. "I've only been lucky enough to see it at a distance."
A cloud slowly passed the full moon, throwing them into the dark for a brief moment. Shadows appeared, grew longer and disappeared entirely.
"It's something bigger than you, you know." She said, softly, watching the moon. "It's unbelievably bigger, more complete than us. Perfect, you know, and just something that doesn't really matter because it's never personal." She wondered whether she made sense.
He was silent.
He thought about Sam. She had moved on. So why couldn't he do the same?
"Antagonists." She said, unexpectedly. "It's a strange word."
He looked at her, uncomprehending. "What makes you say that?"
She shrugged. "How are we to decide whether in life, we're the good guys or the bad ones? I mean, any small thing that may seem fair enough to us may affect someone else deeply. And vice versa."
This was the truth as she knew it. She knew the rule of this union, too: nothing personal. But she felt that truth was worthless unless shared.
She knew how much a single action could hurt someone.
He stared at the silver-eyed woman next to him. In the midst of the green light that rose as the effect of the pure white light from the moon meeting the unique color of the district, she looked like an Angel.
He considered what she had said. Maybe that was the secret; looking at Bella as the antagonist. He was desperate enough to try. He felt, for the first time in his painfully long and lonely life, that an action- her action, of telling him, of thinking him worthy to be happy- had saved him, rescued him, rejuvenated and revitalized him, if only for a night.
She was an Angel, if only for a night.
They watched the moon till the world began their day.
A/N: Okay, another shockingly short chapter, written due to the complete lack of free time. I mean, ain't this country a democracy? I tell you, this place sucks. Too much competition for the free universities has made melancholy workaholics of us Sri Lankans. I actually feel depressed enough not to give out separate messages, so here's a big THANK YOU!!!!! to all who reviewed.
Now, go press that little button down there that says submit Feedback/review. Please?
I do not own Nightwish, nor do I have hopes of doing so in the near future. They're just too awesome.
P.S.- If the change of PoV's is giving you whiplash, please tell me. I dope to do this whenever I describe one of their discussions.
