Fixing the Mistake?

Chapter 10

Aria's POV:
"Hell no!"
"Are you insane?!"
"Please tell me your joking!"

Everyone around me is in shocked and mad by my plan. Well, at least the statement part of it, there's more to it then just being bait.

I look over at Spencer and his face is pale white, showing worry and shock. But all to quickly does he get his color back and put on a poker face, making sure to void any emotion.

"Aria what the hell are you thinking?! How is it a good idea to dangle you in front of these people?!" Dean asks, being very vocal about his anger.

"You know how hard it is to get someone back who gets taken, there's no guarantee you'll be safe and the odds are that if they get you then you're gone." Michael says, looking at me as if to plead to stop this conversation, and then looking at Kayla to signify what this plan would do to her, or if she'd try and join.

"Can you keep listening to me for just a minute? There's obviously more to my plan then me just playing bait. I'm not stupid and I'm not going to just risk everything to be taken and giving them and even better chance of getting Kayla after and winning. I've been thinking this through and my idea is good." I state, looking at all of them until I land on Spencer and keep my gaze on him.

His poker face is still in tact, but you can see him clenching his fists in anger. He is giving me the opportunity to speak, though, instead of outright shutting me down so he must know that whatever plan I have must be at least good enough to hear.

"Fine sister, if your so confident that you aren't having a psychotic breakdown and it's an actual good idea, which I don't think it can ever be, then go on." Kayla answers from the group, anger evident on her face. I know how hard this is for her, finding her sister only to be told by her that she wants to stick her neck on the line after everything she's been through. It's because of everything she's been through I have to do this, though.

I take a deep breath and continue with my idea, "I think that if I go out for a minute here and there on occasion, heavily guarded, they may think we're starting to underestimate them. One day I go out for an hour, still guarded but not as heavily to the eye. That's when they'll make there move, knowing that's there best shot to get one of us. What they don't know is that I want to inject a tracker somewhere under my skin, so they don't I have it. I will have a tracker necklace as well, because they'll expect something, but they'll get rid of it somehow. Follow me the whole time, and when we stay in one place for 15 minutes, that's when you attack. You will probably be lead to one of there compounds, but since they are so desperate they will probably be there to ensure they make the deal quickly to get rid of me and get the money. Which means you'll have the chance of a lifetime to capture my parts and the seller. This may be the best and only opportunity we can do something like this, and this is the best solution." I finish my thoughts, making sure to look at everyone so they know how confident I am in this plan.

Everyone stays silent for a few moments, taking in what all I just said. Suddenly, Spencer strides over to me and forces my body to look at him, anger seeping all through his aura.

"No way will we ever leave you as bait! You may be right about this crazy idea in a time perspective, but they could start immediately torturing you, you could be beaten and raped in the car, you may be immediately taken to the seller as is and then on a plane! You could be killed immediately for frustrating them and they could just go for Kayla! You are not doing this and that idea is now being trashed because your life will not be put in jeopardy, not on my watch!" Spencer growled out, letting me know how much he disapproves of this idea.

For a minute it stays silent again, everyone taken aback by Spencer's anger. That is until Dean steps up and touches Spencer's arm. "Your right Spencer, Aria you are not about to play martyr, we are not that desperate, in fact they are way more then us. I think we all need time to regroup and we can discuss more ideas in two days. Everyone go to your rooms." Dean announces, leaving the room quickly after.

I'm still trapped in Spencer's arms when everyone slowly flies out, until Kayla comes and whispers in my ear to forget about my plan before leaving with Michael, leaving me alone with Spencer.

We just stand there for awhile staring at each other, weighing out how to speak to one another. My plan is the best plan, and I'm two days they will come to realize it.

Finally, Spencer's grip loosens on my arms, and when I feel it happening I decide to turn around and head for the door, only to be stopped by Spencer's voice, "Do you really not see how much it would effect all of us if your plan went wrong?" He asks in a shaky voice.

I don't turn around, not wanting to see his expression. That doesn't last long because he comes in front of me and grips my chin to stare up at him, tears in his eyes, looking broken.

"Aria I know I've hurt you before, but I love you so god damn much it hurts. I could never ever send you out there with any possibility of something happening to you. We all love you and your plan ripped my heart into shreds because you don't realize how much losing you would effect us, effect me. Please just think about it as if Kayla came up with it. I can't lose you, not like that." Spencer says, giving me a soft peck on the lips and then leaving me alone in the room.

I'm in shock for awhile, and start to absentmindedly walk back to my room. When I get there I open the door on my to realize someone is already there.

"We need to go through will your plan."
