Aro pov

Aria gives me her hand, her neck twisting round to look at Carlisle, i see him nod; she must have mimed something to him.

I see Aria running, her face confused her hair flying in the wind, her slender neck twisting left and right and back again, she jumps, from tree to tree like a baby monkey. Suddenly she is on the beach; she flies over the sand into the sea and swims deep into the ocean, playing with the fishes and dolphins as she goes along. She laughs and smiles, something she had never done in her immortal existence, she carries on swimming and reaches the shore, it is dark and quiet when she arrives but she runs north; knowing she is in Seattle and that it will be sunny when dawn breaks. She slows down as she comes to a forest, she breaths in an unfamiliar smell, she explores and she comes across the Cullen's. From then all she has are happy memories, playing with reneesme, singing with alice, fixing cars with Rosalie, play fighting with Emmett, playing piano with Edward and renesme, playing chess with jasper, cooking with bella and esme, learning with Carlisle. She doesn't think about me, only questions;what if they come looking for me? Do they think i got lost or do they know i ran away?

I see something that interests me, Aria has a power she can move things with her mind!

I let go of her hand she draws in to her side and looks at me expectantly.

"well, Aria you seem very happy with the cullen's"

"i am" she respond coldly

"what i don't understand is why you would run away in the first place"

"you kill innocent humans, when you know there is another way you can live" her eyes are hard topaz, they are beautiful

"but Aria, darling it isn't healthy to live on animal blood" i lie seeing if i can get her to come back to me, her power could be very useful. I see Edward fight the urge to shout and Emmett, i think is being held in place by what seems to be his mate.

Aria pov

I feel the tension behind me as aro keeps speaking.

"but Aria darling it isn't healthy to live on animal blood" i hear the lie escape from his lips, though his voice is mesmerising and persuading i refrain from believing him. He is wrong. I know he wants me back and i truly do miss my little room with all the books in it and i do miss aro he is like a father to me, behind Carlisle, and i do love him.

"aro, i know what your doing and i wont come back, i love the family i have now, aro, you were the only family i had for a long time and you will always be in my heart, i wont forget you, aro, i'll never forget you" i hug him, he is shocked but his arms come around me and he picks me up, we stay there for some time our hard cheeks pressed together.

"i'll never forget you either, Aria" he whispers, though im sure everyone in the room heard him. He out me down and i went to stand with my family, Rosalie enveloped me in her arms. After a while everybody relaxed, but somebody had other plans

So your just going to let her go" the blonde guy shouted "she will expose us" he added

"caius brother, Aria is special, she is one of the 1% of the immortal children that aren't dangerous, that wont expose us" aro turns to him "you see her golden eyes, she drinks the blood of animals, that means she has control, she can control herself" aro smiles at me, it is a real smile, one i wouldn't have expected aro to have one that looks a bit out of place on his hard face.

Aro invites my family and i into a room, we talk and get to know eachother more, it turns out that Carlisle was in the volturi a long time ago, i was fascinated by this and i learnt so much. Its such a shame aro refused to change his diet, when we exited we saw a bunch of humans entering we could hear the screams and crying as they realized that they were not on a tour and memories flooded back .

I was being dragged, my mother and father dead on the floor with holes in they're necks but i was being dragged away by strong arms, i was screaming and my arm hurt from the hand that only kept tightening around it. A pale man with big red eyes came in, his mouth stretching over his lips in what i think should be a smile but it wasn't nice and it scared me half to death.

"hello" he breathed into my ear, his breath was cold and smelt coppery and metallic like...like...like blood.

"uhh...uhh...uh..." is all my voice would allow me to say

"its okay don't be afraid" his silvery voice calmed me a little, he picked me up and layed me on a bed. I didn't struggle, it felt like i knew this man, it felt like he would take care of me. But i was wrong, so wrong. He bent down and kissed the side of my neck softly then bit down hard. I screamed.

"you are going to be amazing, i cant wait" he whispered in my ear, i could hear him smileing. Then the pain began.

I gasp. I touch my neck where aro had bitten me. It was okay. It eas in the past. I was fine now, i have a family that cares for me. I was okay. I was safe.

"are you all right, Aria" esme took me into her arms as we enter the car

"im just fine" i smile.
