Sky Cavanaugh looked around at the party for the familiar face of Imogen DiLaurentis, why was she always disappearing? "I can't believe mom's actually throwing a party." A voice snorted behind her, so Sky turned to face Imogen. "Well, it's a big deal. 20 years without -A or anyone being murdered." Their best friend, Rebecca Marin-Rivers pointed out. "I just can't stand mom and Mrs. Fields looking awkwardly at each other. Everyone gets they used to be into each other, but they're with different people now." Imogen sighed as she looked over at her parents making small talk with Paige and Emily Fields.
"I don't know. It sounded like they would've made a pretty good couple." Sky shrugged looking in the same direction as Imogen. "Yeah, I totally ship Emison." Opal Vanderwaal smiled. "Don't let Paige Fields hear you say that!" Laughed Rebecca. "Whatever, there's no way I'm letting my parents' marriage fall apart just because of Emily Fields of all people." Growled Imogen as she glared at Mrs. Emily Fields.
"What are you going to do?" Mason fitz challenged with a smirk. Imogen returned the smirk before walking away towards her parents (Alison and Elliott Rollins) and the two Mrs. Fields'.
Soon Imogen was standing beside the four adults and she cleared her throat. The conversation came to halt as they all turned to them. "Emily Fields right? I saw your name on the trophies at school... I was wondering if you could give me some swimming pointers." Said Imogen with a charming smile. "Wait, is that whiskey?" Mr. Rollins asked narrowing his eyes at his daughter suspiciously. "What? I'm offended you'd even think that, daddy! Can't a girl have some apple juice around here without her own father assuming the worst. I thought this party was to celebrate how far this town has come... Not revert to old ways." Gasped Imogen dramatically.
Elliot nodded, "You're right sweetheart. I'm sorry I doubted you." With a smile Imogen nodded back. "Come on Mrs. Fields, I'd love to show you my swimming trophies." She said dragging Mrs. Fields up the stairs.
Emily chuckled slightly as she let herself be dragged by the blonde. It wasn't long before they were inside her room and Imogen hadn't been lying about the trophies. There was all sorts: swimming, acting, field hockey, ice skating, singing competitions, academic achievements, piano and many more. "As you can see Mrs. Fields, I love winning and I'm extremely good at it too. Many people may call me an overachiever but I still win at everything. Great friends, boyfriends, parties and even a great family... Mrs. Fields my family is perfect, everyone loves us. But they won't love us as much if my mom files for divorce because of an insignificant teenage fling so I suggest you makes sure our family stays the way it is. Or you'll have hell to pay." Imogen warned Emily.
By the end of Imogen's speech/rant Emily was gobsmacked. "Your mom told you about us?" She asked surprised. "Clearly she couldn't tell us about her past without at least bringing up your name." Retorted Imogen rolling her eyes. It took a second for Emily to get over her shock before she realised someone needed to put this girl in her place. Because Imogen DiLaurentis was so clearly a mix of the old Spencer Hastings, Melissa Hastings, Alison DiLaurentis and Mona Vanderwaal which was a dangerous combination.
"Listen, I know you might think you're so great with all these trophies and followers but you're gaining a lot of enemies so I would watch your back. All those people you hurt will come back to haunt you someday. I thought you would pick that up from your mom's stories." Emily replied. In return Imogen rolled her eyes again.
Then she laughed. "You really think I'm scared of those freaks, geeks and losers? They can throw anything at me. Not only do I have an army of Vanderwaal's, Cavanaugh's, Hastings', Marshall's, Kahn's, Marin-Rivers' and your children but I also have me. No one can beat me I always want to win, and I always get what I want. So I tell those weak-willed, unfashionable freaks to give me their worst shot." Smirked Imogen.
With a sigh, Emily shook her head crossing the room to Imogen's door. "Don't say I didn't warn you." Mrs. Fields said before leaving and going back to the party. When she was sure Mrs. Fields was gone, Imogen turned to her phone that buzzed.
You're not as strong as you think. Us weak-willed, unfashionable freaks, geeks and losers are fighting back. Trust me you don't stand a chance, bitch. -A
Imogen frowned at the text message looking around, half-expecting it to be a joke and Taylor Hastings to jump out with a grin along with a 'Gotcha!'. But he didn't and instead Imogen was left with a threatening -A message on the 20th Anniversary of the last time anyone got a text like this. Wow, A must love irony. But why wait untill now? Thought Imogen as she continued staring at her screen waiting for the message to disappear.
Then Imogen shook her head turning her phone off ready to enjoy the party when she felt a hand around her mouth. Her eyes widened as she tried top scream, but Imogen's scream was muffled by the hand. That's when Imogen was pushed roughly against her dresser.
And then the masked figure punched her before taking something and climbing out of her window. Imogen held her face in shock as she looked for what -A had taken.
Her diary. It was missing. Crap. It didn't take long for Imogen's eyes to catch her reflection in the mirror. There seemed to be a bruise forming on her cheek and Imogen couldn't explain this without everyone freaking out. So shakily Imogen rubbed foundation on her face to try and cover up the mark. Who could've done this? Who could be this psychotic? "Imogen? Are you okay?" Thalia Fields frowned as her and Phoebe Fitz walked towards her.
"I'm fine. Just... Got absorbed in thinking about how amazing I am." Grinned Imogen as she turned to the two girls. "You really are amazing." Phoebe gushed with a smile. "I know." Replied Imogen with a sad smile as she tried her best to believe what she and Phoebe were saying.
Then Imogen turned to them. "Now come on, we have a party to get back to."
