Before

I cringed as Ali pulled me through the trees and under thick branches. "Where are we going?" I hissed at her, causing her to huff. "We;ve been over this, Alex. I have to meet someone, and quickly. This could be my last chance..." Ali rubbed her belly. I frowned. "Meet who?" I demanded.

"Trust me, you know him...like he's your own father." She winked at me as her speed increased. I frowned but didn't say anything else. We were at her house now. "You stay here," She pushed me inside. "I'll be right back. Go in my room."

And then she was gone. I huffed and walked upstairs, only to be greeted by Melissa, Ian, Wilden, Jenna, and Garrett walking out. "What are you guys doing?" I asked. I knew for a fact that Ali hated people in her room- people she didn't trust. I also knew that she didn't trust any one of these people.

"Nothing," Melissa glared. "Shouldn't you be with Spencer at her party?" She spat out, and I frowned. "Well, yes actually. But Ali had something to do- she told me to wiat in her room. I wasn't aware you guys were supposed to be in here as well." I glared at them.

Jenna sent a dirty look in my general direction before Garrett led her downstairs. Melissa and Ian soon followed, but not before Melissa said: "Spend time with her while you can, Alex. It won't be long now." And with that smirk, she and Ian disapeared.

Rolling my eyes, I walk into her room, but stop when I saw her diary on her bed, wide open.

I've never been much of a snoop- okay, maybe I was a huge snoop. My mom always told me: "Curiosity killed the cat." And I would respond, "Good thing i'm not a feline."

Anyway, it was open already, so somebody (Ali) obviously wanted people to see it. With a quick look over my shoulder, I picked it up carefully.

Dear Diary,

I took the test today. I've been worried about it all week, dreading the result. I haven't taken it yet, but something tells me I won't get the chance to. There's been this feeling ever since last Halloween- like something bad is going to happen to me. I suppose I deserve it- i've done alot of bad things to people. But i've always had a reason- the motives always made since. Hopefully, they see it that way. It won't be long now- the threats are getting more dangerous.

A blood curdling scream brought me back. But by the time I got downstairs, any trace of the saound was gone. I looked everywhere for Ali, but I couldn't find her. I saw Jenna and Garrett rushing away, but no signs of Allison.

Allison DiLaurenis was gone.
