A/N: So last chapter was an insight in Aria's life. Now the past will come back and this time it isn't all roses. She is scared but won't let it show and when a certain vampire finds out he will turn her life around.

Night 2 – Memories of hatred

(Aria's POV)

I sat in class with a lot of girls whining about St Xocolatl's day tomorrow. "It's for Kaname." Then squealing followed. I felt somebody stiffen underneath me and I turned to find Zero had woken up and was looking at my hand. I looked in the direction he was focused on and realised I had a paper cut. I moved my hand away from him and gave him a glare. He knew full well I couldn't use my powers while in class and now he wanted my blood. I stood up and pronounced "Miss, I am bleeding. Can I please go and get a plaster?" she looked at me and nodded. I went to walk away when I felt a hand place itself upon my back and I turned to find Zero following me. I rolled my eyes and carried on. I didn't need his help or his puppy eyes for they wouldn't work and he knew it. I was totally emerged in my own situation to realise that I had just bumped into someone. I looked up to find Takuma looking at me like a child would to a mother. I clicked in front of him and he shook his head and smiled. "What are you doing out here at such an early time?" was my question and he laughed nervously and said "Well erm…Kaname needed me to fetch something and I got a little side tracked." I rolled my eyes and carried on. I didn't need an explanation as to why he was out I just wanted a conversation.

Scared of your true self…

I cupped my hands around my ears and tried to block it out but it was like daggers in my head. Takuma came rushing over and grabbed my arm. I shook him off and closed my eyes. What was going on? Why was this hurting? I could feel my throat dry up and I could feel my fangs burning my gum. I had to get my tablets and quick.

Now you will have no choice but to reveal who you are…

I shook my head. I just wanted this to go away and not come back. I needed to get this feeling out of the way. I tried to stand but fell back down again. "Aria? Aria, are you alright?" I looked at Takuma, but it wasn't him. It was the one person I truly didn't want to see…Rido Kuran. I pushed him away and tried to run but fell. Strong arms caught me and I had no choice but to fall into them. Then everything went black.

(Takuma's POV)

I looked at Kaname and explained "I didn't do anything. She was in pain and then she said a name…I think it was Rido Kuran but I couldn't quite make it out." He looked at me and nodded with the silent words of "I will take her to the Moon Dorm, Inform the Headmaster of this and do not to worry she will be fine." I nodded and walked off. How could I not worry? She was my best friend and then for her to go and do this is very worrying. And why would she mention something and Kaname dismiss it. I approached the office and knocked. The reply of 'Come in' came and I entered. I stood in front of a huge desk and stated "Headmaster, Aria has collapsed and Kaname has told me to tell you that he has taken her to the Moon Dorm and not to worry." The Headmaster's face was creased with worry and inside I felt the same. I walked out of the office and back over to the Moon Dorm. What had happened to her to make her like this? I had only seen her act like this once before…

*Flashback*

"Hey Aria!" She turned and looked at me with a grin on her face. I was at a vampire gala and she was attending for Kaname because he was away. She was a pureblood and could always take his place. She moved with such grace as she swanned up to me and chimed "Hey Takuma, How are you?" I nodded and said "Yeah I am fine, just tired of all these parties." She nodded her agreement and then suddenly she fell to the floor. I came down to her position and when I looked into her eyes I saw hatred. She reached for me and I backed away only to have Kaname drop in front of me. What was wrong with her? Was it a lack of blood tablets?

*End of flashback*

I never did find out what was wrong with her that day…

(Aria's POV)

I shot up with the nightmare still present. I looked around the room with blurry vision and noted I wasn't in my own room. I felt a sharp pain go through my gums and on instinct touched them. I was shocked to find that my fangs had revealed themselves and my throat burned for blood. I closed my eyes and wished it would all go away. Why did it hurt so much? It never used to. "It's because you haven't allowed it to appear for a while." I looked up in shock to find Kaname sat on an old armchair across from what must have been his bed. I looked away and mumbled "Why did you read my mind? You had no right." He looked at me and laughed "I didn't" I twirled my head in his direction and glared at him. What the hell did he mean? "Anybody could tell what you were thinking. It wasn't hard to see that you was wondering why the pain had come back. I know you Aria…better than you think." I looked away and closed my eyes. I felt Kaname sit next to me and I couldn't help but lean into him. He cradled me and I clutched his shirt. Even though I was older than him it didn't stop me needing comfort. He cooed me and whispered "The pain is only temporary so please try to bare it. I pushed him away and I said "How long have I been asleep for?" he smiled and said "A day at most." I shot out of the bed and grabbed my blazer. Today was St Xocolatl's day and I had to get out there quickly. Kaname pushed me back down and said "You're not going anywhere." I looked at him and I could feel his blood rush. What the hell was he thinking? I pushed his hand away and walked over to the window, I wasn't going to stay because things could end up going wrong.

I opened the window and looked at the ground below. It was still the afternoon by the looks of things and it meant that I was safe, for now. I closed my eyes and jumped out only to have someone grab my blazer sleeve. I looked up to see Takuma holding on to me. I growled at him and snapped "Takuma, let me go! I am fine to drop but you have to let me go!" He looked at me concerned and said "But you could hurt yourself badly." I smiled and calmed him saying "Takuma, I have done this a million times I am fine." With that he turned away and let go. I closed my eyes and I felt the wind rush past me and I felt the ground shudder as I hit it. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Kaname looking at me. I shook my head and walked away. I couldn't allow him to get close to anyone but Yuki. She was his goal and if he changed it now the game would be ruined. I exited the Moon dorm and found that Kai was placing the gates for this evening. He looked at me and I smiled, he was a lot like me in ways except he would never know what it was like to hurt. I walked off and found the fountain where unlike others I had spent most of my memories. I looked in the jade pool and found that all of my worries washed away in the ripples. "Come on, before the prefects get here." I looked at the clearing and saw two Aido fans ready for the exchange. I rolled my eyes and walked towards the gates. I lowered my head and walked straight past the girls who gasped but did nothing else, and I knew they wouldn't. I stood against the wall ready for something to happen. When I saw more girls coming into the clearing I knew that Yuki and Zero wouldn't be far behind. I looked at all the girls before me and I could do nothing but laugh. This was pathetic and they would never see it, I used to see the Night class as idols to the idiots but everybody needs someone to believe in.

(Yuki's POV)

I watched as Aria held back a few screaming girls and I could tell that inside she was distracted. I wanted to help her but I had my own gate to attend to. I looked at Zero and he was staring into space, and not concentrating. I was watching Aido as he received his gifts because I knew full well he would do something stupid. I closed my eyes and wished Kaname would walk over here and talk to me. I knew that wouldn't happen so I gave up and concentrated on my job. In a moment I heard a gasp and looked over to a few panicked girls who were crowded round someone. I ran over and when I saw Aria on the floor I panicked, what was I supposed to do? I felt an arm brush my sleeve and Aido appeared out of nowhere and walked over to her. "A…Aido, please don't hurt her!" he looked at me and picked her up. What was he going to do to her? I lunged forwards only to be held back by Zero. I turned to him and glared but noticed he wasn't looking at me but at Aido who was taking Aria to Kaname.

I lowered my head and watched as Kaname walked away with my sister in his arms. I was useless and I couldn't do anything. Zero pulled me with him as we followed Kaname back into the Moon Dorm. What was happening to my sister? I stood and opened the door for Kaname as he entered with Aria in his arms. What was going on with her?

(Aria's POV) – Dream

I was lay on a white floor with nothing else around me. Where was I? How did I get here? I sat up and saw black walls with pictures of my past spread out around me. There were pictures of me and Yuki as kids playing around. Then I glanced to another wall and saw my mother and Father, Juri and Haruka sat with Kaname and me. I turned my head away; I didn't belong in that picture. The picture started to transform into my own family of me and the headmaster with Zero, Kai and Yuki. That was where I belonged…with them. I looked at Yuki's smile and I couldn't stop myself from laughing; she was the most beautiful girl I had seen and she deserved everything she had. I pulled my knees up to my chest and closed my eyes. It was clear that something had to be done to get out of here but what I had no clue.

So Pathetic, weak and feeble

I looked up to find the one vampire I didn't want to face…me. I hated myself and I could never get away from her.

Scared of yourself, you're like a baby.

I turned away and tried to block her out. I wasn't scared but the last time I allowed my instincts to take over I nearly killed my sister and family. I cupped my hands over my ears and squeezed tight. I didn't want to harm anyone.

Aria! Fight back against this evil!

I looked up to find my younger brother, Zero stood there.

I shot up with surprise only to find Kaname, Zero and Yuki crowded around me. I glanced at each one and they looked like they had just seen a ghost. I looked at Kaname who was the only one to have his back turned and when I reached out he pulled away and stormed off. What happened while I was asleep? I turned to Yuki who looked at me and sighed; what happened? She followed Kaname and I was left with Zero. I looked down at the sheets and then his voice, barely audible spoke up saying "What did you mean when you said you were going to kill the Cross family?" my jaw hit the floor. What exactly had happened? I started to splutter and that's when Zero stood up and walked out. I felt a tear drop from my eyes and I wiped them away quickly and stood up. What had I done? Why did they not tell me? I was sick to death of this monster inside…

Monster? Who are you calling a monster? I am the same as you.

I turned my head in shame, why was I here? Why was I given a second chance? I opened the window and looked around the courtyard and saw the Night class returning to the dorm. I climbed on the window sill and allowed myself to drop. Tonight was the night my memories of hatred came back and with it a force I couldn't stop. I was truly a beast and a monster but I had no choice, it was part of me. I would curl into a ball until I could take it no more.

I will show you another nightmare, tomorrow night.

A/N: End of chapter 2 and Aria is beginning to show her true colours. What will happen to the little family now? Keep following and you will find out. Thank you to everyone and to myra k kuran for my first review.
