The Moonlit Night Ch. 1

The Moonlit Night
By: Niibi


It was the beggining of the 6th year at Hogwarts for Aiome Dark and she knew this would be a adventure once again for it was always a adventure within the Slytherin dorms. Aiome never got tired of hearing Draco Malfoy bossing other Slytherin students around and his so called "friends" along with them. "Hey Ai where are you runnin' off to after curfew?" Draco yelled at her as she was about to exit the dorm. "You dont have any right to shorten my name so I suggest you stop." Aiome growled. "Heh, you really think im going to listen to you?" Draco snapped. Aiome ignored the insolent brat until he was standing right behind her. "Now I said where are you going, filthy mutt!" Aiome eyes widened and she spun around and grabbed Dracos neck and slamming him to the ground making it crack. "Do you want to say that to my face you bastard?!" Draco couldn't say anything, he was to busy gasping for air, Aiome quickly relized what would happen next if she continued, she smirked at him and said, "Yeah all talk just like always." she released him and stood up and silently walked out of the dorms while a few other Slytherins whispered to each other. Aiome's silver and blicktipped long hair flowed behind her as she walked down the long and pitchblack hallways shaking slightly, the left over adrenalen was taking over.

She knew where she was by scent after being there for the past 6 yrs well she ought too she was a animagus after all. She quickly walked into the open where the moonlight was glistining in the starry sky. Aiome sat on the ground against a wall and starred off into space for a while. "Am I cursed to be a Slytherin?" Aiome thought...this question had never left her mind since her first year when she was put in there...she thought she was put in Slytherin because of her bloodlust phase and her derranged mind...but maybe that wasn't it..though she was pretty sure it was.

Aiome listened really hard for a couple of seconds, she thought she heard foot steps Aiome looked over to her right and relized she was caught...oh boy.
"Miss Dark," Aiome smirked "Hello Severus, tracked me down did you?" she was still somewhat shaking, "That's professor Snape to you young lady. No, I just knew you would be here. I have known you for 6 years after all." Snape said as he approched her and turned to stand next to her leaning against the wall slightly. Aiome leaned her head aginst the wall and looked up again at the sky..."Im sorry sir, I know im not supposed to be out, but it couldn't be helped, I had to leave the dorms or someone would be hurt by me...if they arn't already.." Aiome said. Snape knew what she meant and pulled out a small vile from his coat filled with a reddish pinkish liquid and handed it to Aiome, "Lets see if this helps, I made it a bit stronger since your older." Aiome looked at Snape a rather confused way..."You dont think its gotten stronger do you?" Aiome said in a startled tone. Snape looked conserned, "I know you can't control your bloodlust phase that much, I had to make it stronger you left me no choice. If you would calm down it won't be as bad." Snape told her. Aiome burried her face in her arms "Easier said than done..."and let out a faint whine, "I hate this..I never asked to be like this... " Aiome mumbled then her eyes widened and her heart rate increased as she tasted a copper like substance in her mouth...blood. She quickly opened the vile and chugged the potion, gasping for air after words and then falling sideways only for Snape to catch her. "She's gaining control slowly..." Snape thought to himself as he wiped the blood from her lip an carried her to his dorm to keep a eye on her. The first couple of times Aiome had taken the potion, she went into a convultion fit for 5 minutes and stopped breathing breifly. So to be on the safe side everytime she went into a bloodlust phase she had always stayed with him in case something...unexpected was to happen.

Aiome woke up on a fluffy bed of pillows and covered with a large dark green blanket on the floor in front of the fire. Aiome's eyes addjusted to the darkness. She heard a soft purring to the right of her so she looked over and saw her black kitten, Salem, curled in a ball sleeping in Snape's lap. "Sae?" Aiome spoke whispered and the black kitten's ears perked and opened a bright orange eye and mewed at her and ran to sleep by her neck, Aiome giggled and petted him. "Thats my baby, your a good boy Sae-Sae arn't you?" The kitten  purred louder. "How do you feel Ai?" came a hushed tone that startled her a little bit, "Not very pleasant to be honest..." "I figured as much," Snape said as he put his hand on her forhead "Well you defeintly have a temperature... I'll be right back with a rag." Snape said and left his chambers. Aiome sat up slowly and leaned over her kitten who was once again curled up asleep in her lap purring away. The second she tried to turn her head a sudden shot of sharp pain surged throughout her entire body and she fell back on her pillow, teeth/K9's gritted and her fists clenched her heart rate was rising once more.  Snape came back in his chambers to find Aiome gasping for air. The pain had gone away temporairly. "Ai, what happened?! Are you alright?!" Aiome looked up at him and groaned..
"No...not really..."
"What happened?"
"It was...a sharp like pain that shot through out my entire body..."
"It may have been the potion..."
"Does it have to be THIS painful to deal with?" Aiome whined
"Im sorry Ai, potions are potions after all." Snape said "Some are easy to deal with, others arn't."
"Yeah, no kidding...."
Snape put the damp rag on top of Aiome's head and watched as her kitten got up and streched and jumped onto Snape's bed and began to groom himself. "Your cat is obnioxious, he's giving himself a bath on MY bed." Snape said in a displeased tone.
"Give him a break he's just a baby." Aiome said as cold sweat ran down her face and she began to shiver. Aiome tried once more to turn her head and her body slowly but got the same result only more severe, "GAAH!!" Aiome whimpered as she tensed. "You need to relax..." Snape said "I-I can't....the pain is t-to i-i-intense.." Aiome said through gritted teeth. Carefully Snape reached behind Aiome's neck and pushed on a nerve for a couple of seconds and slowly watched Aiome's body grow calm and drifted into a deep sleep. Snape watched her for a couple of more minutes and soon fell asleep right next to her.

~Aiome's dream~

"Its so cold in here and dark, ...there's no hapiness anymore, only misery....death." the voice said.
Niibi's fur bristled "Who are you?! What do you want?!!" she snarled. The serpent laughed, "You stupid bag of fur...what a cleche question."
The snake rapped its way around Niibi's neck and looked directly into her eyes, "Im your worst nightmare and im going to kill the person your closest to and make you watch as I do. I will put you through eternal misery, thats what I will do!!" The serpent hissed...
Niibi growled and bared her fangs and tried to bite it put it spat poision in her eyes and caused her yelp in pain...

~End of dream~

Aiome slowly opened her eyes to find she was still on the bed of pillows in Snape's chamber,she slowly turned her head and waited for the pain to surge throughout her body...but nothing happened. She looked around and relized that Snape wasn't there...neither was her kitten. "Maybe, he put Salem back in my room...?" Aiome silently questioned to herself. She slowly began to get up but was a bit wobbly from her fever that still wasn't completly gone. "If I go to madam Pomfrey she'll wonder what happened...eh nevermind, I'll just wait here..." Aiome said. She double checked the room to see if Salem was still in there but she didn't find him so she was certain that he had put him back in the Slytherin dorms. "I hope Draco isn't messing with him... I'll kill him if he does ANYTHING to my cat." Aiome had to make sure Salem was safe otherwise she would be paranoyed to no end. She quietly slipped out of Snape's chamber and transformed into her animagus that way shed get there and back faster, she was passing the great hall and was about to head upstairs when she saw Draco, she watched him for a second and relized what he was holding, Salem, by the scruff of the neck, Salem was crying out in pain Aiome's fur bristled and she growled a feirce growl. Draco turned around suddenly and relized he was caught, he dropped the cat and began to run but she was on his tail. Without hesitating she jumped on him making him scream and it was so sudden that he didn't relize what was happening. Niibi had bit down so hard on his neck that you could acctually hear it snap, she then ripped his throat out. Draco was no more but a lifeless body covered in blood. When Aiome had come back to her senses she was terrified at what she had just done...she was covered in blood, if she didn't get out of there fast, she would be caught . She fled back to Snape's chambers crying uncontrollably "Oh g-god wh-wh-what have you done Niibi?!!" Aiome yelled inside her head. "That fucker got what was coming to him..you should be thanking me." "THANKING YOU?!! You MURDERED a fellow Slytherin!! What am I going to tell everyone, and Snape, what will I tell him huh??!" "You coward, and you call yourself a wolf, hmph your nothing but a snivling pup...and you know it. YOU should be glad that he's gone he is the one that made your life misrible in the first place!!" "JUST SHUT UP!! You don't EVER use my pride as a wolf against me ever again!! Yes he did make my life misrible but that doesn't make it alright for you to take matters into your paws and do what you want. You are in MY body and YOU do as I say." Aiome yelled back. Aiome knew what she was saying was useless, she could yell at Niibi all day and it still wouldn't make a difference...though Niibi wasn't really the one in control, Takai was, she had been controlling Niibi and since Niibi somewhat controled Aiome, she had to do all of the dirty work...she always took the blame.
