Pretty Little Liars

The "A"bsence

As Aria, Hanna, Emily and Spencer walk casually down the street, their hearts race a mile a minute. The original question was "Where is Ali?" now it's "Who is A?" "Should we go to the police?" Emily asks. "No! It's probably just Alison messing with us." Spencer says. "This is something Ali would do." Hanna says. "Yeah, we'll wake up in the morning, and she'll be at her house." Aria says.

The next morning, the girls knock on Alison's door and no one is home. "Is anyone else freaking out?" Aria asks. "A little." Emily says. "A little! Guys something bad happened last night." Hanna says. "Look, lets not jump to conclusions, lets go to the police." Spencer says. By the time they arrived at the police station, Alison's parents were already there.

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Dilaurentis!" They say. Mrs. Dilaurentis is crying and Mr. Dilaurentis is trying to calm her down. "Girls, have you heard anything about Alison? She didn't come home last night." Mr. Dilaurentis says. "No, we actually came here to report her disappearance too." Spencer says. "Well, if you hear anything, please let us know." Mrs. Dilaurentis says. "Of course." Aria says.

"Maybe we should go back to Noel's and see if he knows anything." Emily says. The girls make there way to Noel's house and knock on the door. "Can I help you ladies?" Noel asks. "Yeah, we were just wondering if you knew where Ali was? We haven't seen her since last night." Emily asks. "No, but I think I heard someone scream last night." Noel says. "When and where?" Spencer hollers. "In the woods." Noel says. "Let's go!" Aria says. "What? Are you crazy? I'm not dying!" Hanna yells. "Hanna, Ali might still be there, we have to go!" Emily says. The girls wander the words. "Ali!" Spencer yells. "She's not here." Hanna says. "We can't give up. She's our best friend." Aria says. Then, all their phones ring again. "Do you think it's A?" Emily asks. They open their phones. "You're getting colder. -A"
