Chapter Three: Plan B

Thank you all that favorited and followed. Here is the next one.

Chapter three" Plan B

Marcus entered into a bizarre scene. Bella knelt at Aro's feet as he hunched over in sorrow. Bella in effort to console Aro, was rubbing his back gently. Confused and shocked Marcus switched to bond sight and saw the complete change in them.

How can this be? Impossible. Marcus thought in surprise.

Bella had Aro's bonds and Aro has Bella's. Changes were being made already to Bella's bonds some practically severed and others forming. Aro's remained as they always were but a new line was forming, Marcus decided to check on this bond later, it was too early to tell.

Clearly both were taken by surprise at Marcus's presence and froze in position too overcome by his sudden appearance to say anything.

Marcus recovered first. "Aro, please tell me what has happened?"

Aro stood and looked at Bella, nodding at her to answer.

Oh, great the pressures on. Bella thought feeling unsure how to start her explanation.

"Well, um, err, Bella was just kneeling in respect as she turned me down to join the coven." Bella hesitated.

Aro stepped toward her in anger, clenching his fist, forgetting himself. He could not believe his ears.

"What?! Bella do you know death is the only course now?" Aro bellowed at the protesting Bella.

Bella held her hands gesturing him to stop talking. Too late!

Marcus glided forward to stand before Aro. "I'm afraid you can not fool a man with the gift of bond sight. Aro, what could have possibly taken place to make this occur?" He turned to look at Bella. "You seem to somehow switch bodies, interesting."

Bella huffed at Aro, rising her arms up in annoyance. Aro stepped forward to Marcus shaking his head in frustration.

"Oh brother, I do not know how this happened. We were just sitting at the desk admiring my new gift, when all of a sudden, a flash hit my vision and an intense headache. I opened my eyes and I was staring at my own form."

Aro finished and moved to grasp Marcus's hand. When he did, Aro was taken aback as his mind reading did not work.

Marcus looked into Aro's now chocolate-brown orbs, searching them as he spoke. "Where is the rune now, Aro?" He asked looking around.

Aro whirled around letting go of his brother's hand. "Just where we left it, on the desktop." Aro pointed.

Marcus glided over, reached out and took it in his hand. "Curious, I wonder if this result was the intent of the sender?" Marcus gazed at the stone examining it for any visible clues.

Aro's face fell as he thought to himself, I am such a fool! He should have been more guarded, damn his natural curiosity.

"I think it would be wise to contact and consult our friend the witch, don't you think Aro?" Marcus suggested.

"Aro eyes lit up. Of course, she would surely know how to help me out of this fix! The thought hopefully.

"Splendid! Marcus, what a cool head you have dear brother! Yes, we must do this right away. Today, I am in grave danger in this state. My enemies will most likely want to take advantage of the situation. This state is also an awkward one. Bella would agree." Aro said perking up at the suggestion.

Bella nodded eagerly. Aro went to his desk and began composing a letter. In his letter he was calling assistance from Abigail Ravensky.

My Dearest Abigail,

I am writing to request your presence to Volterra, Italy. I need your expertise. I have received a mysterious package and inside contained a soul rune stone. It must be bewitched, as a result of two people making contact while touching it together. The pair have now swapped bodies. Haste would be greatly appreciated on this matter. Yes, if your wondering you will be greatly rewarded! The Volturi always takes care of their debtors.

Sincerely Yours, Aro Volturi.

Aro folded the paper and sealed with the Volturi seal. He moved around his desk and stepped to Bella's side.

"Bella, mia cara, call Demetri to you and have him deliver this." Aro said instructing her.

Aro handed her the letter and she took it and started toward the door. Seeing this, Aro ran over and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?" Aro said through clenched teeth, trying to stop her.

Bella shook her arm from his grasp without much difficulty causing Aro to stumble back.

Bella turned facing him as she put her hands on her hips in attitude. "I'm going to do as you asked, what's your deal?"

Horrified. Aro recovered from his stumble. Aro Volturi, reduced to a bumbling, clumsy little human! He thought embarrassed, and upon seeing Bella stand so much in girly attitude he stared in absolute protest.

"Bella. You can not stand in that female-like manner! I do not act that way! We need to act like one another. Everyone will think I have gone mad!" Aro cried out in alarm at seeing her feminine posture.

Bella snorted and joked. "Or gone to the other side."

Marcus chuckled at the thought. Aro bared his teeth in frustration. "Marcus, not helping! Bella, may I also remind you that you are a vampire king and therefore do not need to go fetching the help. Just call him in a loud voice, he will hear you."

Bella turned herself away from Aro and composed herself. "Right then!"

Now how had Aro stood, oh yes, legs apart in a proud stance. His hands rubbing together. Got it! She though smiling to herself.

"Demetri, will you come here please!" Bella called out.

Bella could hear his immediate response. Foot falls echoed in the vast hallway. The door opened and Demetri flitted forward suddenly stopping suddenly in front of her. She fought the urge to flinch at his sudden movement and back away from him. She knew she still had to get used to this new existence.

"I need you to deliver this letter to," she hesitated, "Abigail Ravensky, the witch. Bella handed over the letter to him, as he took it, he glanced at Marcus.

"As ordered, I will be swift!" Demetri bowed, and turned to flit out the door.

"Well, that's finally accomplished." Aro sighed.

Aro walked over to the sofa to sit down, wondering how had he become so tired? He was human again, oh yeah. He collapsed in the soft cushions. Bella flitted over to join him.

"You know, you don't have to flit all the time, especially at such a short pace." Aro said crossing his arms up looking at the irritated Bella.

Good. She needs to learn from me and I from her or we might be in risk of exposure. What if we are discovered by the wrong person? Aro shuttered at the trouble that would ensue. It is imperative that we pull off the charade.

Bella sat down next to him cautiously, allowing her body to sit with ease. This earned Bella a smile of approval from Aro. Marcus walked over and took the chair in front of them.

"Now you two need to get to know one another. Meanwhile, I shall go and dismiss the proceedings for the day. I shall also detain Caius. Though, I am afraid Aro, it shall not be long."

Marcus stood and flitted out the door.

Aro turned his head to look at Bella after he watched his brother leave.

Aro smiled. "Well, where should we begin?"
