Disclaimer: I don't own vampire knight or any of the characters. I sorta forgot that last time

The flames were back. And so was the screaming. But this time I saw faces. My mother and father were screaming at me, telling me to run. From what? I looked away from them to see what they could be afraid of and then I saw it. A creature. One of the ones from America. I felt my whole body tense, as I got ready for an attack. I realized my MortDieu was in my hand. (A/n: read my note at the bottom if you're confused) The creature seemed to notice me then because it turned around and stared straight at me. Its eyes were bright red and its face was beautiful. Like rivaling Akatsuki beautiful. Who was he? I could swear that I'd seen him before. I could faintly hear my parents screaming turn more frantic as I stated walking towards the man, fascinated. The man watched my walk forward with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Maia, my sweet." He reached his hand out to grab me. I couldn't quite place what his voice sounded like, all I knew was that it scared the hell out of me. Yet I couldn't force myself to walk the other way. Somehow, at 3 feet from he, he had managed to take a hold of my arm and he pulled me to him, causing me to drop MortDieu in the process. "They did promise me eternity." He pulled me flush against his body, his smile widening the whole while. I watched as his teeth elongated into fangs and he bent to me neck. I couldn't suppress my scream anymore.

"Holy shit Andy! Do something!"

"Like what? She doesn't normally do this."

"Do what?" I demanded. Why were they worrying about me? And why was I in Andy's room? I really do hate that I can't remember things when I wake up. (a/n: I do it all the time. Seriously scary.) Wait for it…ok. The dream came back as vivid as a memory. My breath stopped short as soon as everything came back and I started crying. I felt Andy come over and hug me.

"Maia, calm down. What's wrong? What did Akatsuki do to you?" Akatsuki? What in the hell was he talking about? Akatsuki was just a vampire. My rents knew his family. They liked the Akatsuki family, they would often tell me about them.

"A-Akatsuki? No, no. its not him. Its that- it was him." I was starting to shake. My breathing was getting worse and worse and I realized what was happening. Andy apparently noticed too.

"oh shit! Maia! Breathe. Its alright, just calm down sweetie. Aidou, in that drawer there, there's a kit. No the one below it. Yeah. Give to me." I officially couldn't breathe anymore. I wasn't even focusing on what was going on around me. I just needed oxygen. I didn't even register the needle with my medicine pierce my skin. "Calm down. Its ok. Just keep breathing. Good girl." I could feel the medicine start to work. My lungs felt like they had re-inflated and I was able to calm myself down by taking deep breaths. It felt odd, having a forced calm but at least I wasn't having a panic attack anymore. "Now, what happened?"

"I- um…" I wasn't entirely sure how to put it. Better stall. "What happened? I mean, I was talking to Akatsuki and dot dot dot"

"you passed out" andy wasn't in a mood to take my attempts at lightening the mood he must know I'm stalling. Bastard knows me too well. "He won't tell us what you were talking about. Must've been something big to have shaken you up so bad." It's honestly amazing how he can be so nice to me when I need it. And that he's more observant that I'll ever give him credit for.

"Oh no. It wasn't anything he had said. I just hadn't eaten yet. You know how I get" I smiled as best as I could, hoping to god he would believe me.

"well, if that's it then I'll get you some food. You honestly need to learn when to eat. Stay calm while I'm gone. Aidou, can you watch her?" Aidou nodded while I pouted. Stupid jerk, I don't need to be babied. Andy ran out, hardly noticing the fact that I was bitching in my head. I really didn't want to know what he was going to get me for 'food'.

"Liar." Aidou said. I jumped, completely forgetting he was in the room with me. I turned to look at him with an innocent look, just to see him smiling at me. It looked like he was cracking up on the inside. "but I guess its better than you telling him the truth. Why did you lie?"

"he doesn't need to know."

"so your protecting him?"

"I guess?"

"how sweet. So why'd you pass out hmmm?"

"too much at once." Wow he can move from different topics pretty fast. With normal people I'd be getting a load of questions after each answer.

"hahahahahaha! That wasn't even everything." stare

"What? You mean there's more than you two being…and my parents NOT being crazy?" so I was going a little hysterical.

"Surprisingly, yeah. But its for him to tell you. Not me." He seemed slightly upset about that but I ignored it. He wasn't telling me something. And he let me know. Dammit! How dare he? Does he not realize that I have to know things? Oh he was gonna tell me. I would torture it outta him. I wonder if I still have some of that crap they gave me at 'debriefing'. "You are not getting it out of me. I'm not allowed to tell you anything. It's the rules." Crap. He must've seen my face.

"Fine!" make me wait. It's ok though. I can be patient…nope I can't. "Where's Akatsuki?"

"Sulking I presume. He feels bad." Goodbye whatever I don't know.

"What? Why?"

"Well he made his- wait. No. Bad Maia." What did I do now? I wait. C'mon! he almost told me. That almost worked. Better own it up at least.

"Fine! Don't tell me anything. Its not like it involves me." He gave me a look that was sympathetic and opened his mouth to say something. Yes! Guilt trip!! He seemed contemplative for a little and I felt the joy of victory go away. My own guilt came up. I was starting to feel bad for manipulating him. I guess I'm too determined. Good thing Andy came back, at least for Aidou.

"Sorry sweetie, we only have fruit."

"That's a lie but thanks anyway." I smiled as big as I could. Even crinkled my eyes. He seemed satisfied.

"Now, why the freak out." I choked. He just had to care about me.

"Nightmare." He waited. Probably wants me to elaborate. Don't tell him the truth. I could see Aidou in the corner of my eye, watching me intently. Hm, what to say? "The creatures. It was when they first attacked." Yes! That'll definitely get him.

"Oh. Well, it's over now. That's all that's important." He hugged me again. It didn't make me feel better. I hated lying to him. But this was best. Don't as me how, it just was.

Notes from captk!

So I didn't get around to my notes on the last chapter(s). I am learning how to work so I wound up combining like 5 chaps into one. They aren't all going to be that long. This'll be the norm. The bolding shows where each chap is different (makes sense to me). I don't have a lot of time to write this story so I'm really just posting pre-written stuff right now. Maybe once school and field hockey calm down I can keep going. Not to mention I'm stuck. But that's a ways away. I appreciate comments and all criticism :-D honestly, be mean.

Note on MortDieu. Its Maia's sword. It French for dead god. If I knew Japanese it'd be in Japanese but I don't. I know French. That's probably the only thing I'll get mad about. No comments on how 'they're in Japan, why isn't it Japanese?' (My reviser (dunno what else to call her) said something about it so I know someone else will).

Keep reading please and anything to let me know I have readers is vastly appreciated. And yes, I don't make sense ever.
