Aro's POV

Then I met a strange golden eyed vampire his name was Carlisle Cullen he was truly interesting. He told me his eyes are golden because he hunts animals not humans which I find very strange and unhealthy I was very concerned for him. Then I asked him to be apart of our coven and he agreed.

"So my dear Carlisle how are you finding our dear home?" I smiled.

"It's very lovely thank you for having me in your family" he smiled.

"Oh not at all my dear friend" I grinned.

I liked Carlisle he was my only true friend but I am afraid soon his "vegetarianism" will weaken him. I spent much time with Carlisle he was truly interesting, the one day he told me his goal in this life and it truly shocked me.

"I wish to save people's life's" he said.

"Save humans? Why?" I asked curiously.

" I feel that is my purpose in this new life" he explained.

"That is a very odd thing to say but I shall respect your wishes my dear friend"

"Thank you that is very much appreciated" Carlisle smiled.

Then a few days passed and a vampire was brought to us he was there because he broke the law he broke two of them actually. He attacked a citizen of Volterra and exposed himself while doing so. He was brought to me he was positively frightened it was a shame too he was so young and I felt the powers within him they would have been of great use to me.

"What a waste" I whispered.

"P-please sir I didn't know! I didn't know their were laws!" he yelled.

"I am sorry dear sir….but I'm afraid your punishment for the crimes you have committed is death." I sighed as I reached out to grip his head.

"Please sir! I will do anything! Spare me please!" he cried.

I paid no attention to his cries and plead and with one swift movement I ripped him apart and threw him to the floor.

"Felix….burn him please" I sighed as I took my seat and watched my dear guards clean up the pieces.

Later that night Carlisle found me in my study he looked distressed and uneasy.

"Is there a problem my friend?" I asked curiously.

"Aro…I do not think I can be apart of your coven any longer" he said sadly.

"But why ever not?"

"I think I need to find vampires of my kind…I can bare to watch you kill another vampire" he whispered.

"Ah Carlisle so full of compassion you are" I sighed as I walked toward him.

"I am sorry Aro but I just cant be apart of this anymore"

"I see, if you truly wish to leave then you may" I sighed.

"Thank you very much my old friend" Carlisle smiled as he shook my hand.

"Your quite welcome" I sighed.

There I was left to my studies, my dear old friend has left me….he was the only one in my coven who truly understood me he didn't fear my like everyone else did. He didn't shuttered at the sound my name nor did he find being in my presence was uncomfortable he liked me for who I was for me not for who I know or what my power was. He was a good man a good friend…but sadly I had to let him go. The next day was the day Carlisle was to leave so I met him at the doors to say our goodbyes.

"Goodbye Aro my friend, thank you very much for taking me in at my time of need" Carlisle smiled as he took my hand in his.

"Farwell Carlisle, I want to thank you for teaching me what it was like to have a true friend" I smiled then I realized that was probably the most unselfish thing I have ever said.

Carlisle stared at me for a moment in shock over my words then he smiled as patted my shoulder.

"Your welcome my friend, perhaps our paths will cross again" he smiled warmly as he walked out the door.

"Perhaps they will…." I muttered as I watched him walk away from the Volturi forever.
