Hello...so this is a one shot for AidoRockz because she is such a sport. Aidorockz had written a crap load of one shots(including one for me) and she asked me to return the favor, which I thought was fair so here it is even though it took me about a month to write it, which I want to apologize for now because of school work. Now as for my other stories they are not on hiatus it's just after a long day of college work and homework all I ever want to do is read so I'm going to try to update during my breaks for winter and thanksgiving and spring. So there may be updates inbetween that but it will be highly unlikely and it would be more likely that during my breaks they will be updated. Now the story disclaimer. I do not own Vampire Knight and to be honest I don't own this character. This is AidoRockz character and some of her plot. I just wrote what she wanted me to. So without further adue, I give you her story. Please enjoy and review!
I rubbed my temples as the pounding in my head was getting worse. I began to get headaches about a week ago and they have been progressively getting almost to the point of it being unbearable. The high pitched squeals of the day class girls weren't making this any easier. I looked up and saw the night class parade through the screaming people, with an atmosphere of regal and untouchable glory, while the prefects kept the admirers at bay. Another wave of pain hit me; I gritted my teeth to stop me from screaming out. I felt a presence next to me and instinctively went to grab the knife I had hidden around my ankle. The knife I had specially made and had it spelled to kill only vampires. To anything else, it was virtually harmless. Someone's hand stopped me and I glanced up to see Ichijo, one of my best friends here and also vampire. I relaxed.
"Ashlyn, you've been acting strange lately. And your powers are acting up. I'll be in class when all of a sudden an earthquake will erupt, or a random tree will ignite, as well as animals screeching in pain. Care to explain?"
Did I forget to mention that I was a witch, on my dad's side? I am able to control all four elements but earth and fire are my strongest ability along with power to control animals.
"I don't know. Lately I've been getting headaches. They pound against my head and there's so much built up pressure to the point where I can't keep my powers in check, and they lash out because of the agony I'm in."
Ichijo put a comforting hand on my shoulder. The screams got increasingly louder and I put my hands over my ears in a failed attempt to block them out. I put my head in my knees as it felt like my skull was being split in half. I looked up and saw Aido. The blonde haired vampire stared at my intensely with his icy blue eyes. His eyes held concern from what I could tell before turning into a glare. The glare was not directed at me though. His eyes shifted to the hand on my back, which belonged to Ichijo. He stood there for a moment before being nudged by his equally cute cousin, Kain. All the vampires kept moving, except for Kaname who stopped, his body guard Seiren right behind him. He gave me a knowing look that made shivers run down my spine, before he too kept walking.
"I need to go Ashlyn, but please, take an Advil or something if your headaches are getting that bad."
He brushed some stray light brown hairs from my face. He got up and left, leaving me alone on the bench, with the wind slightly blowing and leaves dancing on the ground. I lifted myself off the bench and headed back to my room, praying for a good night's rest, even though I was a night owl. Unfortunately I hadn't taken more than a few steps before I was stopped Zero.
"Ashlyn, you're wanted in the Chairman's office."
'Great' I thought sarcastically to myself before nodding and heading off. Once I got there, I knocked on the door, an act of manners. A cheerful come in came from the other side. I turned the handle on the door revealing the headmaster and another man.
"Headmaster Cross? You wanted to see me?" I answered, confused as to why I was here.
"Ah yes Ashlyn, this man would like to speak to you. He's from the hunters council named Jamio." I stared at the man. He had a dangerous and threatening aura.
"I'll leave you two alone then."
Headmaster Cross left me alone with the stranger. My mother had told me about the hunter council. They are a bunch of cold hearted killers with only regards to their own.
"What do you want?" I snarled.
He handed me a letter. I just stared at it cautiously before I ripped it open. While I begin to read, Jamio began to explain.
"The hunter council would like for you to join us in the everlasting struggle against vampires. We know your secret."
I glanced up from the letter, wondering what he meant by secret. I'm assuming they already knew about me being a witch.
"What do you think just because you know I'm a witch it'll help you any?" I retorted.
"Oh Ashlyn, you are much more than that. I mean there's no use hiding it anymore. You could be the ultimate weapon."
What did he mean 'there's no use hiding it anymore'? I wasn't hiding anything, especially if they knew I was a witch.
"What do you mean? I'm just a witch that's all."
He laughed amusingly. "Maybe you should look further into your family history."
I stood there speechless. What hadn't my parents told me? I mean dad was a wizard and mom never talked about her past. It's not like I can ask them now anyways, considering they've been dead for the past five years. I never thought my family's past was such a big deal. I came out of my thoughts to answer the man.
"Doesn't matter what I am. I know who I am and I will never work for the hunter's council."
"Whether you say yes or no won't matter. The council always gets what they want."
I was becoming beyond pissed. They can't force something on someone. My emotions began to get the better of me and I felt the wind beginning to pick up. The windows burst open, the wind rippling through. Loose papers from Headmaster's desk went flying everywhere. My hair whipped me in the face but it didn't hurt. I used the element to shove Jamio against the wall.
"Now you listen and you listen good." I commanded. "I will never work for hunter's council. You can't force me to. The hunter's council is composed of nothing but cruel, heartless humans that only look out for themselves." I pulled earth through the walls and pinned him there. I began to walk out.
"This conversation is over." I stated, making a dramatic exit, but as soon as my hand touched the doorknob, Jamio said, "I'm not the only one coming after you. The hunter's council will have you in their clutches before he ever will." I paused before turning to him.
"Who's he?" I demanded.
"Like you don't know. I mean come on. The headaches and your powers acting out. You must know something's up. What? Didn't mommy and daddy tell you?" I got up in his face.
"Tell me what?" I ordered. He laughed manically.
"Mommy never told lil Ashlyn that she was part…" He didn't get to finish his sentence for ice now covered his mouth. I didn't do that and I searched for the one person who did. The one who made my heart skip a beat.
"Aido! He knows something about me. Uncover his mouth." I exclaimed.
"Look Ashlyn, I need you to come with me. Kaname wishes to speak with you." He was serious and held none of the playful tone I'm used to.
"No, Kaname gives me horrible vibes. He's a creepy and…" He gripped me tightly by the shoulders.
"Ashlyn, we don't have time for this. He'll be coming here soon."
He grabbed my hand and dragged me to the window. He swooped me up bridal style, which made me blush insanely, and jumped out the window. He ran at vampire speed and before I knew it, we were in Kaname's room. The vibes kicked up a notch and my headaches kicked in. The pressure kept building up until it was unbearable. I felt like my head was being split in two. I screamed bloody murder.
"AHHH!...MAKE IT STOP MAKE THE PAIN STOP!"
I could barely hear anything. The pounding in my ears was too great. I fell to my knees and I could feel the ground rumbling beneath me. I heard mumbles before my head was carefully pulled backwards and some type of substance was thrown down my throat. It was cooling and my headaches subsided. It was almost too good to be true. I slowly opened my eyes to see Kaname in front of me holding a glass of what I assumed once had the substance in it. I felt someone smoothing down my hair and I glance up to see Aido staring down at me.
"Aido set her on the bed." Kaname commanded flaunting his pureblood power. Aido, being the ever devoted vampire he is, did what Kaname said.
"What was that? The liquid you gave me." I asked, my words slurred.
"Sleep. Tomorrow we'll talk." Kaname touched his fingers to my forehead before I had a chance to object. The last thing I saw was Aido's once sparkling blue eyes now filled with concern.
The next day
I woke up the next day completely refreshed. Kaname's little mind trick worked wonders. I looked outside and notice the sun was slowly setting. How long was I out? I quickly got dressed in the schools uniform and ran outside. The girls had already settled around the gates, which opened shortly after. Chaos almost erupted, for the fans couldn't contain themselves. I was waiting for Kaname so I could ask him about why I was desired as a weapon. I mean what could it be? What hadn't my mother told me? I was so caught up in my thoughts that I hadn't seen Aido coming my way. I felt arms envelope me and pull me to an icy chest. I gasped when I felt that cool breath on my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
"Ashlyn! I was so worried about you!" He nuzzled his head against mine as I blushed and tried to squirm away from him, although I can't say I didn't enjoy it.
"Aido!" I looked around and saw the vicious glares of the jealous fan girls. I attempted to push him away but his grip just tightened like a snake.
"Kaname wants you to meet him in his room tonight at midnight. All your questions will be answered." He whispered in my ear before letting me go.
"Bye Ashlyn!" He waved flirtatiously before continuing on his way. It was then I realized that I sensed danger.
All the girls of Cross Academy were glaring at me, hoping that maybe I'd burst into flames from being too close to their "Idol." I took a run for it, but before I even knew it, I was already in the sun dorms, in a mere few seconds. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' I thought to myself, freaking out. I quickly got into my room and slammed the door, locking it then putting a magical lock on it. I jumped on my bed and silently cried, which I rarely ever did. I cried for my confusion, my deceased parents, and everything that has been going on, until I slowly fell asleep. When I woke back up, it was around 11:30. I got up out of my bed and I headed over to Kaname's room, hoping to finally get all of my answers. Once I got to the moon gates, I used my powers to push open the gates. I stormed my way throw the dorms until I reached Kaname's room. I didn't wait for his permission to enter either. I almost ripped the door off its hinges from the force I put on it. He was sitting there on his couch, staring up at his ceiling, wallowing in his own thoughts. His black shirt was half unbuttoned and contrasted with his white pants.
"Alright Kaname. What's going on?" He didn't answer, just kept staring at nothing.
"Kaname why have my powers been acting up?" He still said nothing and I was beginning to get impatient.
"Damn it Kaname, What do you know!" As I said that the desk next to him light on fire.
Seiren splashed a jug of water on it. I looked behind me and noticed that Aido and Kain had arrived, do to my outburst no doubt.
"Perhaps you should sit." He suggested while sitting up. I shook my head.
"No Kaname. You promised me answers and I want them now." He nodded then began to speak.
"Alright you want answers. I suppose you waited long enough." He paused for dramatic effect no doubt.
"You are a vampire." Nothing could have prepared me for that moment.
"Wha…I'm…how's that?" I tried to say.
"Part vampire anyway. Your grandmother was a human turned vampire by my uncle Rido Kuran, who had fell in love with her because she looked like his sister. They could have been twins the identity was so accurate. Anyway, your grandmother had never loved Rido, but he kept her trapped within his own confides. She had fallen in love with one of the workers and he had gotten her pregnant. They both ended up escaping and by the time Rido found out it was too late. Your family lived on. But there's a complication." He said.
"What could be more complicated than finding out that you're part vampire?" I inquired.
He took a picture out of his pocket and handed it to me. I stared at the picture in amazement. The girl in the picture was me. The same light brown flowing hair that curled lightly at the end. But the girl in the picture wore Victorian styled clothing and her eyes were a dark luscious brown.
"Who is this?" I asked him sitting down on his couch.
"That is Helena Angie Baker. Your grandmother."
I was baffled. How was that even possible? I heard of getting your looks from your grandparents but this was impossible. I was basically a carbon copy beside the eyes.
"Rido from what I gather plans on taking you back. If he couldn't have your grandmother he'd have you." I sat there quietly trying to process this information.
"So is that why my powers have been acting up?" I questioned.
"Yes, you don't have any thirst but your vampire cells are fighting your witch cells trying to take over which caused your headaches and your powers to lash out." He answered.
"So what did you give me then? Last night you poured something down my throat, what was it?" At first he didn't answer.
"Kaname, you told me everything so far. Don't stop now!" I demanded. He sighed.
"It was my blood. It calmed down your cells but it heightened your senses." 'Well that explains my sudden speed.' I thought to myself.
"And now I know why the vampire council wants me. Half witch, half vampire is like the ultimate weapon." He nodded.
"Wow this is a lot to take in. But I'm glad I finally know now." I went to take my leave but Kaname stopped me.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple Ashlyn. You need to be turned." I turned to him sharply.
"What?" I exclaimed.
"Ashlyn, if I don't turn you, your powers and vampire cells will continue to clash until they literally split you apart. Your headaches are only the beginning."
"No…no…just give me more of your blood, I'll be fine." I said trying to convince him.
"I'm sorry Ashlyn, it doesn't work that way." I didn't want to hear anymore. I lit everything in my path on fire trying to distract them enough so I could escape. I ran over to the window, heating it up until it burst. I looked at the drop but jumped out anyway. I let the wind carry me, allowing me to land softly before taking off again. As soon as I got to my bedroom, I began to pack everything I could think of. I needed to get away from this, get away from everything. This was just too much and it wouldn't be long before the vampires caught up with me. Ice crackled around my window, making it burst just like my fire.
"Ashlyn please just let Kaname turn you." Aido said while stepping into my room. I began to back up.
"Aido stay away from me." I held my hands up as if I was going to unleash an insane amount of power.
"You won't do it Ashlyn." Tears leaked from my eyes as I knew he was right. I tried to out run him again, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. I struggled and fought against him.
"Let me go Aido. I won't be a vampire."
"No! Not when I know the alternative can be worse." I continued to struggle.
"Listen to me Ashlyn…Listen to me!" I stopped my squirming and looked up at him.
"If you don't turn into a vampire, you will die. I can't let that happen. You mean so much to me." He paused for a moment. "I can't lose you and if that means turning you into a vampire, even against your will, I will make sure it happens."
I can't believe it. Aido liked me, as much as I liked him. I guess it was my turn to say something.
"You mean a lot to me too Aido. But I can't do this. I'll act differently if I was a vampire, my thirst would indeed come and I don't know if I can handle it. Not to mention Rido will come after me and I can't do this."
More tears began to flow out from my eyes and onto his shirt which was slowly becoming wet. "No one said you'd be alone."
I felt him put his hand under my chin and he lifted my head up to look at his icy blue eyes. He slowly began to lean in as did I. It was a slow, loving and caring kiss, letting me know that he wouldn't ever leave.
As soon as we parted, I said, "Alright, I'll turn." He smiled at me, lovingly linking my hand with his. He took me back to Kaname's room where I would soon begin my new life.
So what did you guys think? Please tell me! But I hope you did enjoy it!
