"I have a bad feeling about this guys, maybe it's no a good idea to go inside without having a back up" Spencer said getting out of the car.
"I have that feeling too but we have to find Emily now, before it's too late" Hanna said taking the lead and getting closer to the old house.
"I'm with Hanna in this one Spence, sorry, but we have to get Emily out of here, if she really is here" Aria said following Hanna.
That morning after the sleepover when the girls woke up Emily was nowhere to be found, they called her but she had left her cell phone behind, then they went to her home and there was no sign of her there. They search through all Rosewood and nothing.
"It was already late in the afternoon when they got a text. Of course it had tobe A. The text was specific.
"Tick tock! Clock is running girls you have one hour to save precious Emily xx- A"
That had put the girls into aaction and they all got in Spencer's car following the directions attached to the text.
So there they were, with no idea if Emily was indeed inside the house, or if A was still inside waiting for them, or if this was all damn trap to kill them all at once.
Yet Hanna opened the door of the house and entered followed by Aria and Spencer. The house seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, the painting was mostly nonexistent, the wooden floor creaked whenever the girls took a step, it had spider's web everywhere and surely there was a couple of other disgusting animals here and what was that smell that filled the place? It seemed that something had died in there. The girls couldn't imagine why of all the abandoned houses around Rosewood A had to chose this creepy one. But then again maybe it was for that exact reason that A chose it, that bitch loved to torture them and what better way to do it than by forcing them to go inside the creepy house and find their missing friend.
Once they were inside the girls began to look for any sign of Emily, but there wasn't any.
"I don't think Emily is here" Spencer said from the kitchen.
"She must be! We all saw what the text said. Emily HAS to be here!" Hanna insisted.
"Hanna I really don't think Em is here maybe we should go to oth-" Aria was cut off by a scream.
"EMILY!" Hanna screamed running down the stairs to the basement with Spencer and Aria behind her.
When they got down they saw Emily tied to a chair, her shirt stained with blood, and a rat trying to climb up her leg,apparently the cause of her scream.
"Shoo shoo!" Hanna scared away the rat and went behind Emily to untie her.
"Emily what happened? Are you alright? Did you saw who this to you?" Spencer asked clearly worried.
Just at that moment the four heard someone slamming shut the front door and steps approaching the door of the basement.
"Oh my god someone is coming we have to get out of here now!" Aria hissed and broke one of the windows in the basement.
The four went out the window and ran to the car, when they saw a hooded figure coming out of the door and running towards them.
"Hurry!" Spencer yelled turning on the engine. Emily got in next to Spencer while Aria and Hanna got up on the back and with that Spencer sped away from there as faster as possible.
Once they came out to the highway, the girls relaxed a bit and Aria broke the silence surrounding them.. "Emily what happened to you?"
"I don't know.. the last thing I remember is being in the barn with you guys, and when I woke up I was tied to that chair with that fucking rat trying to climb my leg" said Emily confused trying to remember a little more but nothing came to her mind.
"That doesn't explain what happened to you in ur forehead Em" said Hanna cupping Emily's face to examine the wound.
"I know Han but I really don't remember anything" said Emily pulling her face back of Hanna's hands.
"The good news is we are all here and definitely could have ended worse.." said Spencer watching Emily and then the two other girls by the rearview mirror trying to somehow comfort them.
Unfortunately that was far from ending. When Spencer turn her view back to road she saw a truck coming full speed towards them, thought Spencer tried to dodge it the truck hit them with so much force that it ended pushing them over a cliff.
The next minutes were fuzzy, seconds before the car went down the cliff the cries of Hanna and Aria were all that could be heard, the car went spinning hitting against trees, but nothing seemed to stop it until one by one the girls blacked out.
The first to wake up was Aria, she didn't have major damages only a few cuts but nothing serious. The car was upside down and the only thing that was holding her was the seat belt, when she managed to set it free she fell on the roof of the car. Turning to her left she saw Hanna regaining her consciousness and then she saw Hanna's leg wich was in a strange position, probably fractured. She panicked when she saw the front glass covered with blood, it seemed one of those scenes from a horror movie. Peeking forward Aria saw Spencer with her head hanging in the air, blood running down her face,and an open wound in her left arm. Though nothing prepared her for when she saw Emily.
Emily had half body outside of the car, apparently she hadn't put on the safety belt. It was surprising that she hadn't gone flying through the front glass when the truck hit them. Half of Emily's body, from her waist up was landing on the floor and the rest in the car. Leaning a little more Aria could see that Emily had something like a tube or a piece of metal through her chest, a large amount of blood was already pooling around her. Emily's face was full of bruises, cuts and blood. A lot of blood coming from a big open wound that went from her temple to her jaw, and she wasn't moving almost like she was no longer breathing.
"No no no... GIRLS WAKE UP!" screamed Aria fearing the worst, urging Spencer and Hanna to wake the hell up.
"Ugh.. what happened?" asked Hanna a little dazed and confused.
"Spencer come on! WAKE UP!" screamed Aria.
"Mmmh..." Spencer mumbled pained. "Oh fuck Em!" she gasped when she finally saw Emily.
"What! What's happening?! How is Emily?! Hanna said desperate fighting against the seat belt. Once she release herself she crawled out of the car, shock tooking her over when she saw Emily.
"Emily! oh god we have to help her!" Hanna said crying. Spencer and Aria already out of the car dragged Emily away from the car.
"Okay okay.." Spencer said taking her head between her hands. "We have to find help but we can't leave Em alone" Spencer proceeded.
"You and me will go find help while Hanna stays here with Emily" said Aria already knowing that Hanna wouldn't leave Emily alone right now.
"Okay lets go, Hanna.. make sure she doesn't..." Spencer trailed off not being able to finish that sentence.
Hanna just nodded with tears already running down her cheeks. With that Aria and Spencer climbed into through the cliff and towards the road, as fast as they could. Hanna was seated with her back against a tree and Emily's head on her lap.
"Em you can't leave us ok? You have to fight please... don't leave me. I don't think I can go on without you" Hanna said between sobs, stroking Emily's bloody hair.
Minutes went by and still no signs of Aria and Spencer or anyone else who could help them. Hanna was getting more and more anxious knowing that Emily wouldn't resist much longer. The blood was still running from her chest wound and even though she was trying to stop it with every second that passed by she was losing hope. Until Hanna heard steps heading towards them and saw lights of headlights in the distance. "Over there! There they are!" she heard someone yelling. Gradually Hanna saw as the figures revealed, Spencer and Aria along with paramedics. Without losing more time they put them in strechers and took them to the road where an ambulance was waiting, making their way quickly to the hospital of Philadelphia.
As soon as they arrived doctors took Emily to the surgery room while Hanna, Spencer and Aria were treated in ER. Spencer got out with a couple of stitches on her forehead and arm. Aria with a few bands and Hanna with her leg on a cast.
"The three sat in the waiting room, overwhelmed for everything happened.
"Spencer you should call Emily's mom" said Aria, breaking the silence.
"Yeah you're right, I'm going to call her, do you want me to bring you something?" Spencer asked Hanna and Aria.
"No". "No, I'm okay". Hanna and Aria said at the same time.
"Okay" said Spencer walking away from the girls to call Emily's mom. After five minutes, Spencer came back with her face on her hands, sitting with a huff on the metal chairs.
"That was... hard" said Spencer with a sigh of sadness.
"What did Mrs. Fields said?" Hanna ask worried.
"She barely let me talk... As soon as I told her that we were in the hospital with Emily she freaked out and started asking too many questions, I didn't know how to answer her so she just told me that she was already on her way and hung up on me"
"It's okay Spence you did the best you could". said Aria comforting Spencer
"I can't believe this is really happening" said Aria
"I swear as soon as Emily gets out of danger I'll find A and I'll make that bitch pay for this" Spencer said rage filling her voice.
"WE will make her/him/it pay for this, you can be sure of that Spence" said Hanna.
"Girls I really want to make them pay too but I think right now we have to worry about the fact that Emily may not come out alive from this" said Aria.
With that Hanna broke into tears. Spencer threw a look at Aria for not being more careful with her words and a pained expression crossed her face.
"Hey it all will be fine, Emily is strong, she will go through this" Spencer said trying to comfort Hanna putting her good arm on Hanna's shoulders.
"Is just... Ican't help feeling guilty for this. If I just had listened to you and we had asked for help, none of this would had happened maybe we had even caught A" said Hanna between sobs burying her face inside Spencer's neck.
"No Hanna listen.. none of this is your fault nor of any of us, the only one to blame here is A, there was nothing we could have done to avoid this, do you understand that?" Spencer said taking Hanna's face in her hands and wiping her tears. Hanna only managed to nod and returned to embrace Spencer.
"Don't worry Han, Emily will be fine" said Aria comfortingly rubbing the back of Hanna.
"EMILY?! EMILY FIELDS?! Where is my daughter?!"
The girls lifted their heads and followed the voice to its owner, Mrs. Fields who was in the corner of the hall when she saw the girls.
"GIRLS! What happened?! WHERE IS EMILY? HOW IS SHE?" said Pam Fields distressed.
"We are so sorry Mrs. Fields" said Spencer approaching Emily's mom.
"Tell me what happened" said the Mrs. Fields with anguish searching for an answer in the girls eyes.
After Spencer explained what happened to Pam -of course leaving out of A- Pam Fields got up and said "Where are doctors? Why no one tells us how is she?
"In that moment one of the doctors came out of the surgery room and asked "Is it here a family member of Emily Fields?".
The four ran up to him. Well Pam, Aria and Spencer run to him while Hanna tried her best not to fall with the crutches she had to use.
"Please tell me how is my daughter! said Pam Fields anguished along with a worked up Hanna at her side. Spencer and Aria behind Hanna.
"I guess you are Emily's mother" he said.
"Yes I'm Pamela Fields" said Emily's mother.
"Okay, look the situation of your daughter is not the best... She has four broken ribs, one of her lungs was perforated and it got filled with blood by the internal bleeding, fortunately we were able to remove all the liquid and stop the internal bleeding, but Emily lost a great amount of blood and the tomography reveals that her skull presents a fracture which caused her brain to swell. we are trying our best but I don't think Emily will make it through the night I'm so sorry, right now she is being patched, once the nurses are done with her they will take her to intensive care, and a nurse will come to you so you can go see her, I really am sorry" said the doctor walking away.
""God no not my baby!" said Pam crying uncontrollably with the girls.
Moments later a nurse approached them and lead them to Emily. Watching Emily connected to all those machines, so fragile and lifeless was enough for Pam and the girls to break into tears again.
That night was one of the most long and painful nights of their lifes. Still the next day came and Emily against every doctors expectation was still the days started passing by and Emily still hadn't woke up nor di she showed any improvement. For several weeks no one could say with certainty whether Emily would live or not. But after a month and a half Emily started to react. She still hadn't woke up but she started to make slight movements with her hands and she was already breathing on her own. During that month and half Hanna and Pam never left Emily. While Spencer and Aria were focus on finding A, they both still visited Emily every day. After nearly two months Spencer and Aria found A and let the police took care of that psychopath. After two months and two weeks Emily finally woke up. Pam and the girls were so happy when they saw Emily opening her eyes, finally the nightmare was over. But they soon saw that something was wrong. Emily looked at them confused as if she didn't recognize them, and indeed Emily had lost her memory, the doctor told them that could be due to the large amount of blood that Emily had lost or the fracture suffered in her skull, and most likely the amnesia was permanent. Another thing the doctor said was to not forced Emily to remember all at once or give her strong news so they could avoid a relapse. So the girls along with Pam and Wayne Fields tried to make Emily feel comfortable with them and remember or learn simple things as those who were her parents, her friends, the things she liked to do, where she lived. Leaving aside all the drama of A. Hanna, Aria, Spencer, their parents and the Fields reached an agreement, to never tell Emily what happened with A , including Alison and her death, the death of Maya, that night at the lighthouse with Nate and Caleb and everything bad happened by A. So Emily would have an opportunity to start from scratch without those painful memories to haunt her.
The only thing they didn't counted on was discover two years after that after all Ali was not dead as they all believed.
