Prologue

Hanna, Emily, Aria and Spencer were partying in Spencer's family barn. They hadn't seen each other in almost five years.

"Oh my god, I hadn't realised how much I have missed you guys," laughed Spencer.

"Yeah I have missed you guys so much over the past few years," said Aria.

"I know right," exclaimed Hanna.

"I love you guys," exclaims Emily, while leaning in for a group hug.

Emily did not like it in the barn she didn't like it at all. It brung back to many bad memories.

So how's life without 'A'," grinned Spencer.

"I haven't felt more free in my entire life," sighed Hanna

All the girls agreed.

"I guess Ali decided not to come here tonight," frowned Emily.

"Yeah well she did say she might decide to go and visit Charlotte," said Spencer.

"She should really stop seeing her," exclaimed Spencer.

"I wonder what type of things Charlotte has told her about us," frowned Hanna.

"Guys come on if Alison has found the heart to forgive Charlotte so can we," spoke Aria in an upbeat voice, "Besides she's been through a lot lately. Living in a mental asylum isn't exactly the the place of heaven."

"Oh my goodness! It feels like only yesterday we were sitting in here gossiping about Noel Kahns' new girlfriend."

"Alison! Hi, we didn't know if you would be able to make it today!" Spoke Spencer with excitement.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," smiled Alison.

"So how is Charlotte," muttered Emily awkwardly.

Alison's eyes lit up,"She is fine she is more then fine. They are thinking of letting her out."

Her eyes fell.

"But on one condition. You're going to have to testify against her. They want to know if you will feel safe around her again if that let her out."

The four girls exchanged worried glances.

"You don't have to worry. Charlotte has changed she really has."

"I don't know Ali, those things she did to us..." Spencer drifted of.

"She understands that the things that she did to you weren't ok. She is just asking for another chance."

"Please guys you don't understand how bad it is in their. I beg of you. Do this at least for me," pleaded Alison.

The five girls all wished they had done things differently. Alison wished she hadn't begged her friends to lie for her, and Hanna, Emily, Spencer and Aria wished they hadn't lied for Alison, otherwise Charlotte may have stayed at the mental institution. The four girls didn't really greave much for Charlotte, but for Alison. She had pretty much broken after the death of Charlotte, but even worse the murder of Charlotte.

The funeral of Charlotte felt like the longest two hours of Emily's, Spencer's, Aria's and Hanna's lives. Everyone stared at them as they sat down at the funeral. They new everyone suspected them of Charlotte's death but, Alison new that they never did it. The five girls were tired of everything, the stares burning on their back, the whispers of other people when they ever showed themselves out in public, the many dozens of police questions. Nothing was stopping Emily, Spencer, Hanna or Aria from leaving Rosewood, but they had to stay for the sake of Alison.

All the five girls took a quick glance behind them, as they heard a rasping cough coming from behind them, and that's when they saw her. She was dressed in a black dress, wearing a black veil covering the features of her face. The same thought went through all the girls minds, "Not again".

They weren't to worried until their mobile phones all vibrated at the same time. They all exchanged worrying glances before checking their incoming text:

I know who killed her. I've got you 6 a nice place at, Room 15 The New York Palace Hotel, 455 Madison Ave, NYC Upper East Side

Xoxo A

All five girls clicked onto the attachment.

Charlotte looked around at the top of the church bell tower, as if waiting for someone to meet her. A shocked expression meets her eyes as she sees a person in a black hoodie approach her with a golf stick. The person in black came out of nowhere and repeatedly bashed Charlotte on the head with the golf stick until their was no life in the body left. Then the body was thrown out of the window like a rag doll, and then the camera was cut of. From the angle of the camera it was impossible to see who was behind the black hoodie.

All five spun around but the mysterious women in black was gone.

Alison looked like she was about to burst into tears. The five girls were wondering who was the sixth person that was invited, that was before they saw Mona's watery eyes staring at her phone.
