The A-Games
Chapter 1- The A-Games
Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
"A" knows everything, and will do everything they can to get the Liars in trouble, so the Liars need to bring their A-Game
Hanna Marin
Hanna Marin combed freshly painted fingernails into her long silky hair, running towards her best-friend Spencer Hasting's house. She had found a clue that could help them find out the next -A, after Mona had been sent to the nut house. A vital clue that could rid them of -A forever. Hanna's feet hit the pavements of Rosewood as she made her way across, having gotten quite far already. Having reached the wide and cut lawn of the Hasting's Manor, she slowed down to take her phone out of her pocket to check for any messages from the other Liars. Her inbox was very empty, except for texts that she had yet to answer. As if on cue, she got a new message from an unknown number. Hanna smiled, knowing that the identity of this new -A was to be revealed to all the Liars in a matter of minutes. Hanna clicked open her phone, glancing at her message before having a gloved hand put over her mouth…
Sigh! Got a habit for messing with things huh? Two can play at that game. Well, game over, Bitch.
XOXO -A
Spencer Hastings
Spencer was not having a good day. She had gotten an S.O.S. from Hanna, who had failed to show up, yet again, though she had initiated the meeting, promising important news that would aid the Liars in finding out and getting one step closer to finding out who -A was. Emily Fields, her very athletic friend, who was sitting next to her drummed her fingers against the wooden table the three fourths of the Liars were sitting at. Aria Montgomery had just arrived, and was playing on her phone, texting a 'secret' person, which didn't take a genius like Spencer to know it was Ezra.
"Where's Hanna?" shouted Aria from behind her phone. Spencer got up, moving to her computer to access her e-mails to pass time. Spencer glanced over several e-mails that might have been interesting to her under normal circumstances, but now, waiting anxiously to find out about the identity of their tormentor. Spencer sighed as she scrolled through her e-mails one last time before shutting the lid of her laptop, sad that she had not found anything interesting that would help her be plopped herself back onto the chair next to Emily, who was now flipping pages in the book she had received from Mrs. Montgomery for extra credit, having had a hard time keeping up in class. Spencer flipped open the new phone she had received as a gift for getting full marks on one of her tests. Just then, a beep was heard from all three of the phones of the girls at the table. They looked at each other, slowly picking up their respective phones, and glancing at each other several times before each slowly turning on their phones and entering their passwords before the message that was disturbing them kept bleeping. Hoping it was from Hanna, Spencer went into her inbox to quickly scroll through her phone to look for the message. The message however, was not from Hanna, and surprised and scared each of the girls so much they each dropped their phones before running to the door to check outside.
Emily Fields
Emily flipped the many pages of the book given to her, reading each word with care as to make sure she understood what each sentence meant. It wasn't really her fault she couldn't concentrate in class. She was distraught about… well… everything. She couldn't take her mind off everything going on in Rosewood. Emily hadn't been the one to receive the S.O.S. from Hanna, her sending it to Spencer and asking her to pass it on. While Spencer had gotten new phone for her test, Emily had lost hers. Emily once again looked up over her book, hoping to see Hanna walk right in through the door, and not having to leave them waiting for so long, By the time that she had gotten the message from -A, Hanna had been half an hour late, and Emily was getting worried. The message? It didn't help calm her nerves. If anything, it might have scared her even more.
Han let you guys down? Well, she's gonna go down. Wanna save her? Come outside. Liars- 0, A- 1. As usual. One down, three to go…
-A
Aria Montgomery
Creepy messages, disappointment, and one of the Liars being somewhere else. Aria was used to it. Really used to it. But the message from A? That scared Aria more than she did by the other messages. One down? Was Hanna gone? Was the A-team after the other girls now? Were any of the girls safe? Aria needed to find out about Hanna's safety, before she could be sure about hers. Maybe that was the reason Hanna hadn't managed to arrive on time. A had decided that she knew too much, and maybe A had gotten to Hanna first. Aria ran to the front door faster than she ever had, only stopping when Emily and Spencer slowed down and stopped at the door. Aria pushed them and tried to get them past the door, yet she managed to see what made them stop in their tracks. There, at the door, was another message from -A. Not something that was written down, but a phone. Spencer's old phone. On it was a game of hangman. The two players were listed as -A and The Liars. -A was winning, and Aria knew this referenced back to the letter in which -A was seemingly beating them. Aria's eyes widened as she saw the word that was being entered. There was nothing that was correct, and the hangman had only one part that was left until -A got another point. A message popped onto the screen, and all three girls leaned in to see what the message said, Spencer being the first to lean back, being the first to have finished it. Spencer slowly crossed her arms and let out a sigh.
"That's… hard…" was all that left Emily's mouth after she leaned back. Aria nodded in agreement, having known that they had to guess the word in under 10 minutes, getting each of the letters correct or Hanna got… well, they didn't mention it, really, but it wasn't that hard to know what was going on. Spencer stepped forward, and reached her hand outwards to grab the cell phone taped to the door, and pulled it down with one tug. Spencer fumbled slightly, probably trying to figure it out first before entering it. All they knew was it had 8 letters, and it was going to take a lot of time to figure it out fully.
Liars
Spencer reached out to the letter A, seeing as it was avoided during the entering by A. Emily, however, slapped the hand from the phone, instead turning towards her with a serious look on her face. A client agreement went through the two, both knowing they had to be very careful about the letters they chose.
"I know you're going for Alison, but her name has only 6 letters, Spence, and this has 8," Emily said after the silent transfer. The girls returned to their seats to check the letters. B , F , H , J , M , Q , W , G , V , D. It seemed as if A had purposely avoided all the letters in Alison too, making them try for Alison first.
"Try O," Aria said while looking over Spencer's shoulder, going for the vowels first, as she usually did with all the games. Spencer moved her small, thin hands towards O. As the girls looked onwards, each of them scared for what was to happen. To their relief, however, the letter they guessed showed up under the second space available- _O_. Emily looked as if she was about to faint, nervous for what would happen if they got it wrong. Looking nervously over all their shoulders, Spencer's phone slipped out of her hands slightly. To the shock of the girls, Spencer had accidentally clicked on Y, each of the girls shouting and screaming as the phone softly vibrated, the Y letter slowly fading out, disappearing from the screen...
