glistening moon
casts a milky
pathway
on the clearing

midnight sky
illuminated

wind crackling

dense, dark underbrush
swishes

gravel crunching
underfoot

trees trembling
in agony

the figure steps out of the shadows.

The author's comments:
My Edward-crazed pals pleaded me to read the ever-popular Twilight series until their knees were scraped raw from begging on the ground and they were blue in the face. Eventually, I gave in. The dark, warped, creature-filled world the Cullens were apart of reminded me of some scarier times in Harry Potter's dense history. The combination of the two magical worlds inspired me to create this poem.
