A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! This is my new story I've been thinking of writing, if anyone wants me to continue please let me know in a review. I want to thank my good friend TwilightElena for her help writing this opening scene. Enjoy:

"What do you want Aro?"

Carlisle Cullen stood in front of the most feared Vampire in the Volturi group. The Lord Aro himself.

Alice had a vision that Aro and his servants were talking about him and to avoid Aro's patience growing thin Carlisle was on the first flight to Volterra, Italy.

"Ah, ah, ah. No need to be so hasty… I just want to talk…"

"Alright Aro." Carlisle remained silent waiting to see what Aro had to say.

"I have a gift for you."

Carlisle looked up at Aro and nodded. "Yes Aro that is why I'm here."

"Well, then let's not waste any time."

With a wave of Aro's hand some other vampires came in the room pushing a large box on wheels. The box was covered with red velvet drapes so he couldn't see anything inside. He tried to look inside deeper but he really couldn't see anything.

Seconds later the drapes were removed and the box turned out to be a large steel cage. What's worse was inside the cage was a young dark haired girl. A human girl. Carlisle became angry instantly. "Let her go Aro."

"Well of course…."

"What?"

"I was going to give her to you anyway."

"Really?"

"Yes…" He purred. "She is my gift to you…" He paused and then looked directly at the girl in the cage. "…and she tastes amazing…"

The young girl inside the cage whimpered and moved to the back of the small cage trying to hide herself from Aro. Carlisle could see that she was frightened of Aro and he couldn't blame her. He looked at her more closely and saw that she had bite marks along her arms and neck. The poor girl. He had to get her out of there.

"I'll take her." He stated firmly. He had to play by the rules or Aro might change his mind.

"Good. I knew you would see things my way…" he waved his hand to one of his servants and they approached the cage and unlocked it.

The horror in the girls eyes made Carlisle want to save her even more. No one should have to go through that. No one should be a pet to vampires. He had to get her out now. He watched as the man reached inside and forced the girl out and to the floor. She instantly stood and tried to run but Jane had that covered. Within seconds the young girl was on the floor crying out in pain.

"Is that really necessary?"

"What? You want your new plaything to run away from you?"

"No. but she won't be much use to me if her brain explodes."

Jane giggled and finally stopped.

The girl curled into a ball and lie still. One of Aro's servants moved over to the girl and placed a leash onto her collar and then pulled her to her feet roughly.

Carlisle winced as the vampire handed him the leash as the girl fell to the floor whimpering in pain and fear.

"Please don't hurt me anymore…"

If he wasn't a vampire, he wouldn't have heard her. He looked to Aro and sighed. "Thank you Aro."

"You're welcome Carlisle. Enjoy her. I know I did… I will miss her greatly."

Carlisle turned to leave.

"Oh. Could I possibly have one more taste of your new toy?"

He heard the girl whimper once more and he stood firm. "No."

When the young girl looked up at him innocently he knew he made a mistake. He had to fix it quick. "No. I want her all to myself. You have had her enough."

Aro sighed and sat down. "Very well. Off you go before I change my mind."

Carlisle left quickly with the young women.

As soon as he was outside and far enough away he bent down towards the young women crawling on all fours. She whimpered and pulled away from him.

"Shhh I'm not going to hurt you." Carlisle said softly. He reached around her neck and took off her collar and threw it into a nearby lake. The young women's hand instantly went up to her neck scratching it. "That's better isn't it?"

The young girl gave a small nod.

"You may stand if you wish. You are not an animal I will not treat you like one."

Looking at Carlisle curiously, the young women slowly stood up.

"Look, I know you don't trust me. I don't blame you. But I can help you, I can take you home to your family if you wish."

The young women just looked down at her feet shaking her head.

"I'd like to help you but I'll need information about you. Like your name and where you're from."

The young women didn't respond.

"Please, if you don't wish you tell me your name that is fine. Please tell me where you're from. I can take you back to your family."

The young women shook her head. That's when Carlisle understood. "You don't want to go back to your family do you?"

The young women shook her head.

"Is your family alive?"

The young women nodded.

"Have they treated you badly in the past?"

Again the young women nodded.

"So all you've known is hate and abuse and violets?"

It was a rhetorical question but the young women nodded her head anyway.

"Oh you poor girl. Look, I can take you somewhere, where you will know friendship and love and kindness but you've got to trust me to get you there. I know it's a lot to ask but please I can help you."

The young women was quiet. This man seemed nice enough, he didn't make her walk on all fours or force her to keep the collar on her neck, he spoken to her gently and kindly. He kept trying to convince her he wanted to help her, but why should she trust him? He was a vampire, all vampires were evil blood sucking monsters….weren't they? The young women sighed. If this man betrayed her at least he'd kill her and put her out of her misery. She slowly nodded her head.

"Thank you. Follow me."

They young women followed him she was surprised when they reached they airport. She looked at him questioningly. He just gave a small smile. "My home is in Forks Washington, that's where we're going."

The young women stepped back and shook her head. He wasn't going to feed off her like the others did he was going to do worse. He was going to take her back to her abusive home life. Carlisle sighed understanding "You're hometown is forks too isn't it? That's where you're family is?"The young women nodded her eyes fearful.

"Don't worry little one. I will not be taking you back to your family. I'm going to take you to my family. They're very nice and will not harm you in anyway."

The young women looked up at him a small look of hope in her eyes.

"I promise you. I will keep you safe from any kind of harm."

The young women nodded.

"Now when we get inside, it's going to be loud and there will be a lot of people but just stay close to me and I'll get you through as quickly as possible all right?"

The young girl nodded. Carlisle went inside and the young women followed behind him. An airport being loud was an understatement the young women felt like she had just walked into a circus. It was very overwhelming and the young women didn't like it at all. Carlisle got her through very quickly and soon she was the gate waiting for the plane to take off.

"Are you hungry, I'm sure Aro didn't feed you well."

The young women shook her head. Flying had always made her nervous, even if she did eat, she could never keep anything down.

"All right."

Carlisle sat down one seat away from her, not wanting to crowd her. The wait wasn't very long and before the young women knew they were on the airplane heading back home.

Finally they touched down and before the young women could blink they were standing in front of her new home.

"Come inside, it's all right."

The young women slowly walked inside. Suddenly four bodies were in front of her. She whimpered and quickly moved behind Carlisle.

"Easy guys, I know you're all curious and I promise too explain. Just let me go get her settled first."

Carlisle turned to the young women. "It's ok, they aren't going to hurt you. They're just very excited to meet you. Follow me."

The young women followed Carlisle to living room.

"Have a seat on the couch. Make yourself comfortable. I'll introduce you everyone in a few minutes all right?"

The young women nodded an laid down on the couch. Carlisle walked back in the hall where everyone else was.

"Aro, kidnapped this women. He gave her to me as a gift, thinking I'd treat her like a dog and feed off her. She is so scared and withdrawn I can't get any information out of her. All I know is she was abused by her real family and her hometown is here in forks, other than that I have no idea who she is or even how Aro got to her in the first place."

"The poor dear, she must be so scared." Esme, Carlisle's wife said.

"They tortured and fed on her, and who knows what else. She doesn't even know what it feels like to be loved because before she was taken by Aro her family abused her."

"No!" Esme cried.

She had been abused herself at one point. She wouldn't wish that on anyone.

"That's why I took her here. If we can get her to trust us we can show her real love. But that means being gentle and cautions with her. No playing pranks on her, no jumping in front of her to scare her, no playing dress up with her, no harsh glares. Only kindness and love. Does everyone understand?"

All his children nodded. Suddenly he noticed Esme was gone. He turned to see her heading into the living room. Towards the young women.

Esme gently leaned down by the young women's side.

"Hello there young one. I'm Esme Cullen." She spoke gently.

The young women felt safe with her.

Esme slowly reached up and stroked her hair. "You have beautiful hair."

The young women flinched and whimpered but suddenly she felt something different about that touch. Something gentle and soft and….comforting. She relaxed into it.

"I'm sorry about what happen to you…You know…I was abused when I was younger too. I know how you feel."

The young women looked at her with sorrow filled eyes.

"After I found Carlisle things weren't so bad. He's a very kind man and very gentle. He'd never hurt you."

The young women just closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling Esme was giving her.

Carlisle watched on smiling. He knew if anyone could get through to her it was Esme, she had such an amazing gift of knowing just how to care of children.

After a little while the young women fell asleep. Esme placed a small blanket over her and walked back to her family.

"She's sleeping."

"Good job Love, I'm proud of you." Carlisle said.

"She's still scared Carlisle, she doesn't trust anyone yet, not even me."

"Yes but you could touch her without upsetting her that's first."

"We have to help her Carlisle, she can't go on feeling unloved."

"We will, I promise no matter what is takes we will help her."
