Aro's POV

It was a beautiful, cloudy day in Volterra, and I had stepped out for a bit.
The estate got so gloomy and boring sometimes.
But, walking past an alley, I smelled a familiar scent. I had caught a waft of it walking before, but it wasn't this strong. When I peeked around the corner, a handsome young blonde was shaking and curled into a tight ball. When he heard me, he looked up, and he had the most beautiful golden eyes.
"S....six....euroes...an hour?..." he said, shaking a bit more.
"wh...what?...."
"th....that is what you're here for, isn't it? I...I'm a prostitute..."
"Oh, love....no. That's not what I'm here for. Why don't you come back with me? Do you have anywhere to go?"
He shook his head innocently. I could see fear in his eyes, and I felt a pang of grief for him. He was so cute, and, from what I could smell, he would be a valuable vampire in the guard. He stood and started walking with me, still shaking a bit. He was scared.
I wrapped my arm around his shoulders. "What's your name?"
"S.....stregoni.....Stregoni Benifice.... i...in italian, that is....."
I chuckled. "What's it in english, then?"
"Carlisle Cullen....."
I pulled him closer to me, earning a slight squeek of fear. "Strong. In the Celtic translation, anyway. In old english, a castle tower, the foundation of the castle. Tell me, how old are you, Carlisle?"
"I....I was born in the 1640's....I think...."
"Time was innacurate then." I cupped my hand on his cheek, and his eyes widened slightly. "But, you seem like a smart one. How old were you when you were changed?"
"T.....twenty three....."
I turned and stroked his cheek again. He seemed comforted by that....He was a thin, frail little thing, and I intended on changing that. His hair was long and wavy. Changing that, too.....His clothes looked old and rugged... THIS boy needed help.
I wrapped my arm around his waist, and pulled him close again. We were at the estate now, and I led him in. Caius greeted me.
He sighed, rolling his eyes a bit. "ANOTHER one, Aro?"
"Possibly." I answered. Carlisle looked so confused and scared. He had no idea what Caius had meant. "So, let's get you cleaned up first. I'll get some bath water."
He just nodded and allowed me to do whatever to him. "Can I wash you?"
"S.....sure....." was his meek reply. I washed him gently, enjoying it so. He calmed down considerably after I finished, and I think it was because he established and had a reason to say that I wouldn't hurt him "Let's do something about your hair...."
He looked a bit scared again. "Wh....what?"
"Sweetheart, where are you from?"
"England....London, actually." He dropped the Italian accent, and now spoke with a heavy British tongue.
"Love, you're in a different time now, and a different country."
"You have long hair...."
I sighed. "Trust me, sweetheart. I love your long hair, but....you stick out like a sore thumb. You can't do that if you're a vampire."
He hung his head, and I pulled on his ponytail playfully. He was so adorable. He trusted me now, and I knew it. I took him back the hall, and sat him down in a chair in front of a mirror.I left, and when he came out, he had short hair, swept to one side. *like in the picture where he's with the volturi* "Very nice, Very nice."
He blushed. He had also been fitted for new clothes, and was now dressed in them. Hewas so handsome. "Th....thank you....f...for everything...."
I stroked his cheek, smiling at him. I walked to my throne and sat down, leaving him in the open. Jane appeared, then, and she sighed. She knew exactly what to do. She did this with every attractive new member of the guard. She locked eyes with him, and it was all. over.
Carlisle threw his head back and cried out in pain, shrinking to the ground. He curled into a ball, sobbing in pain. Jane looked sympathetic. She wanted this one. "Carlisle!" I yelled, running toward him. This was all an act. As soon as I touched him,
Jane seized her attack. He went limp in my arms and whimpered. "I know....I know...."
I held him close, trying to get him to stop shaking. "You're alright. You're alright."
Holding him, his past flew through my head...abuse....terrible abuse....sexual, verbal, physical....loneliness.......having to earn money through something he hated so much. Now, relating Jane to that abuse.....Me as a symbol of trust and safety.
Jane approached him now, and he cried out, clinging to my coat. "Hey, hey....You're alright." Jane gently reached out and stroked his back, and Carlisle flinched and cried out in fear. "I'm sorry....I'm sorry...It's okay..." She glanced at Alec. I shook my head. No need to scare him more by completely blinding him. Jane nodded in comprehension.
"carlisle?" I said, hypnotizing him.
"Y...yes?..." he said, looking up. "Why don't you come to my room?"
He nodded and we both stood, and walked to my suite. "I promise I won't hurt you....Okay?"
He nodded, having no idea what was about to happen.
