Aro's POV
One night my father and I got into a fight he told me I was childish and I needed to grow up, get a job, and marry. He always told me what to do and when to do it, and my mother she would just stand back and do whatever my father said. The only one in my family I was close to was my darling little sister Didyme. I would spend most of my days with her in her garden or we would take walks by the river bed. Then one night my father started to lecture me and soon that lecture turned into a full on argument.
"Aro you should start acting like a man!" he snapped.
"Father, I am trying my best to please you but I have no interest in a wife now nor do I have one for a job, for I am only twenty three and I feel there is much more I can accomplish before that happens" I said calmly.
"That's ridiculous! All you do is sit around our home and play nonsense with your sister!" he growled.
"Father I only think the best for our dear Didyme, and I wish to look out for her is all" I explained.
"I don't want my son to be a useless being do you understand me!" my father yelled.
"I am not useless" I said threw my clenched teeth trying not to lose my temper.
"I want you out of this house! And I want you to stay away from Didyme!"
"I will leave this house but you can not keep me from my dear sister!" I growled.
"I can and I will, now leave and never return again!"
I let out a frustrated sigh and left the house, just as I was about to head into the forest I heard my name being called. I turned around to see my poor little sister her eyes shinning with tears. She ran up to me and frowned.
"You and father got in a fight again?" she asked sadly.
"Yes, I'm afraid so" I sighed.
"Are you leaving?" she asked as more tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.
"Yes, but do not fret sweet sister of mine I shall return for you. I promise you that" I said with a small smiled as I hugged her.
"I shall be waiting dear brother" she whispered as she kissed my cheek and ran back to the house.
As I walked aimlessly threw the forest thinking about what to do and where to stay, I heard rustling noises in the bushes.
"Who's there?" I called out but no answer so I continued to walk.
As I walked I started to hear bell like laughter threw out the forest and the rustling noises grew louder. Then I caught the sight of a beautiful woman she looked like a Greek goddess. She had shoulder length curly blonde hair, pale skin as white as the finest snow, there were some green leaves in her hair from the bush she had been hiding in and she had on a short white tunic originally made for a small child to wear, showing off her pale legs, and her eyes they were the most frightening eyes I have ever seen they were blood red.
"W-who are you?" I stuttered.
"I shall answer that in all good time my dear boy" she smiled her voice was like a bell.
"What are you doing in the forest all alone?" she asked as she stepped closer to me.
"I…I have left my home" I breathed.
"How sad" she frowned then she inhaled deeply and caressed my cheek. "You are so very beautiful" she whispered.
I said nothing I was blinded by her beauty and her sweet scent was intoxicating.
"What is your name my dear friend?"
"A-Aro"
"Well then my sweet Aro, I shall give you a gift" she grinned.
"A.. g-gift?" I asked confused.
"Yes the gift of forever, the gift of immortality" she whispered.
"I-immortality? This cant be possible" I stuttered.
"Oh but it is my young friend" she smiled as she brushed my long jet black hair away from my neck.
"I'm afraid this will hurt, but I assure you once the pain is gone you will have great power, I see promise in you dear boy" she smirked.
I wasn't sure of what she was speaking off but my head told me to run as fast as I could away from her, but my legs would not move I felt as if my feet were pinned to the floor all I could do was stare at her memorizing beauty. Then she covered my neck with her mouth and bit into my flesh I let out a cry of pain it was the most agonizing feeling I have ever felt in my life. I felt myself fall to the floor yelling in pain I felt as if my whole body was on fire.
"Please! I'm burning! Put the fire out!" I coked out.
"Do not fret my dear Aro, soon you will be filled with strength and power" she whispered.
For days I laid there my whole body on fire my body ached all over but soon I began to smell every thing around and I could hear every move of the animals in the forest around me. Even though I was on fire I felt I have grown stronger, stronger than I have ever been before. Then one day I opened my eyes and I could see everything every little ray of light, every little pebble on the forest floor. Once I sat up a burning sensation filled my throat it felt as if someone set a wild fire off in my throat. I had no idea what to do so I ran then I caught a strange scent it was very sweet and mouth watering. I followed the delicious scent and found a farmer Am I really thirsting for his blood? I thought. Then with out thinking I pounced on him and sunk my teeth deep with in his neck and drained him of his blood. As the mans lifeless body dropped to the floor I stared at him sadly then I put my hand to my mouth and saw the blood that stained my lips.
"Am I…a…a monster" I muttered as I licked the blood from my hands.
Once I got my fill I started to walk around aimlessly then I found out I was a vampire, a soulless monster. Year passed and on my journey I found other's of my kind Caius who was tall and had blonde almost white hair and Marcus who was tall and had long brown hair to his shoulder. Once I went to shake their hands all their memories flooded into me and I realized my gift it was an extraordinary thing to see. They I found out of Marcus's gift he could sense bonds between people. We all became really close then a decade passed and I started to think of my sister Didyme. Perhaps I could offer her this extraordinary life. As we were hunting I stopped and realized we were near my old home.
"Aro why have you stopped?" Caius asked.
"My family, they live her" I muttered.
"Family? You saying you miss those filthy humans?" Caius sneered.
"Not in the least,….but I do miss my dear sister Didyme we were so close you see" I frowned. "I think I shall drop a visit to her" I smiled.
Marcus and Caius both nodded and headed out into the trees, as I walked toward the house and I heard my sister's beautiful singing. I kept my promise my dear sister…
