Hello. So this is my first Pretty Little Liars fanfic. And I'm super excited. It's probably only going to be 3 or 4 chapters long and this chapter makes it seem like it's not really an Ezria story but don't worry, it is. This first chapter is based off the promo for "Touched By an 'A'ngel". Hope you enjoy and the next chapter should be up in the next few days!
Spencer Hastings was a girl with a lot of determination and courage. After breaking into Jason Dilaurentis' garage – twice – only to find the ceiling hung with rope and the dull red light casting eerie shadows on the walls, Spencer had her mind set. You see, Spencer was one in a group of four friends, and she feared that one of these friends – Aria Montgomery – was in grave danger. Aria was a writer, a girl with a lot of passion and fire and many of the boys in Rosewood adored her for that. Of course, no one ever asked her out; she was inaccessible, a no-go area for boys. And even if they weren't afraid to ask, they would have been turned down. This was because Aria Montgomery was in love; with a boy – no, a man – seven years her senior. And not only was this man almost a decade older, he was also her English teacher at Rosewood High. But that didn't matter to them. His name was Ezra Fitz and he was sweet and kind and absolutely gorgeous to boot. They had tried to stay away from each other, they really had. But it hurt to much.
But this isn't why Spencer fears for her friend. It wasn't always just the four of them. There was a fifth and she was the leader of the pack. Her name was Alison Dilaurentis and about a year and a half prior, she had gone missing. No one knew were she was until exactly one year later. This was when Aria came back from a year in Poland and met Ezra. And Hanna was finally caught shop lifting. And Emily fell for another girl, Maya. Maya had moved into the old Dilaurentis house. Alison's stuff and been thrown on the street and the final memories of the young girl were being thrown away. Maya's parents had builders doing construction on the house, and it was one of those unfortunate builders who found Alison Dilaurentis' body stuffed between the concrete walls of the house.
The funeral was a sad event for everyone in the town and it served as closure for everyone who knew her. Everyone but the four girls. They were being stalked by an anonymous person who threatened to reveal their secrets; secrets they had believed to have been buried with Alison. For these four girls the memory of Alison was very much alive and there was nothing they could do to prevent whatever 'A' wanted to do next.
After months of secret relationships and sneaking around and finding killers, the little liars thought they had finally solved the mystery surrounding Ali's murder. Ian Thomas, Spencer's brother in law had confessed to the murder before shooting himself in the temple. He had tried to kill Spencer, been pushed down the bell tower by 'A' and accidentally hung him self in the process. But then his body had disappeared and texts had been sent and suddenly the little liars found them selves staring at a week old corpse with a gun in his hand and a confession at his feet. They buried Ian and it was done. 'A' was still torturing them but Ian was dead and justice had been found. That was, until 'A' revealed they had framed Ian and he was an innocent man. The confession had been constructed of 'A' messages.
That's when Ali's brother, Jason, blew back into town with a keen – and slightly creepy – interest in one little liar in particular; Aria. Ms. Montgomery was perfectly fine with befriending Jason, but the other girls were suspicious of his motives. After all, Jason had let slip to Aria that he was relieved Ian had confessed to his sisters murder as he couldn't remember anything that had happened the night of her disappearance. He woke up in the morning with a missing sister and a note in his pocket claiming that someone 'knows what he did'.
The liars had also been sent an image of Alison the night she died with the shadow of someone following them. The shadow turned out to be Spencer's but the picture itself could have only been taken from one place. Ali's bedroom. When you then think about Jason's surveillance equipment and his love of taking photographs, you realise it could only have been Jason who took the picture. Then think back to the autopsy results Spence and Aria stole from the morgue. Alison was knocked unconscious with a rounded, blunt object before being buried alive. A rounded, blunt object almost exactly like the field hockey stick Spencer had lent to Alison months before she died. The same field hockey stick that Ali had kept in her room. Now who was the last person in her room before she died? The same person who took one of the last pictures of Ali before she died. Which was most likely to be Jason. And who would have the easiest job hiding her in her own house? Well, someone who lived there, of course. No one else would go to the trouble of hiding her in the walls of her own house. No one, but Jason.
So, if we are not mistaken, and the evidence really adds up, Jason saw Ali cross the yard whilst in her bedroom, snapped a picture of her, grabbed the hockey stick from the corner of the room and followed her into the woods. After catching up to her Jason ducked behind the trees only to witness his friend Ian having an affair with his sister. He waited till Ian had left the scene and stayed close behind her as she made her way back to Spencer's barn. When given the chance, Jason must have hit Ali on the back of the head with so much force that the hockey stick dented the back of her skull and she fell unconscious. In his drunken haze, Jason would of panicked, thinking she was dead, picked her body up off of the ground and placed it in a gap in the concrete, where the family was currently having construction work done. If we are correct, Jason killed his own flesh and blood. Jason Dilaurentis is a murderer.
Now lets go back to Spencer's suspicion of Jason. Not only does all of the evidence force her to believe he is the real murderer but Spencer, being curious – and down right nosy – sneaked into Jason's back yard to see him yelling at a worker when he tried to enter Jason's shed. The windows had been blacked out and the door was locked but Spencer saw Jason as he hid the key on the top of the door frame.
After waiting several hours for Jason to leave the premises and for her mother to go out to Philadelphia, Spencer and Emily crept back onto the Dilaurentis property and unlocked the door to the shed. After entering they realised that the shed was Jason's dark room where he developed pictures in chemicals under special lighting. This was not what scared Spencer, she knew for a fact that many people developed their own photographs in dark rooms like that, it was something of a hobby. What scared Spencer was the reason Jason Dilaurentis developed his own photographs. He couldn't of gone down to the closest shop to have his photo's developed. That would of raised a lot of suspicions. The reason being, they were all of Aria. Every single picture taken of Aria in her room, whilst she was sleeping. Everywhere Spencer looked she saw Aria's lips, Aria's eyes, Aria's face. Even after they heard Jason arrive home and escaped, the scene in the dark room clung to the insides of her eyelids, branded there.
This man was stalking her best friend. He might have already murdered one of them. He could've been planning her murder next. And even if he wasn't planning to kill her, Aria had a boyfriend who loved her and Jason obviously had some affection for her. He is already charming his way into her life and now Spencer knew, he had to have some motive. He was crazy. Aria had to stay away from him, get a restraining order. No sane person creeps into a sleeping sixteen year old girls room to take pictures of her.
Spencer knew she had to do something. And that is why she is so determined, so courageous. Because she knew all of the things that could happen if she did what she was about to do. Jason would kill her if he knew. She could ruin Aria and Ezra's relationship. Not to mention the things 'A' might do to her when she tells her story. But she had to help her friend. And that meant getting Mr. Fitz involved.
Emily was keeping Aria busy whilst she waited for him in the car park. She knew if anyone saw her there would be lots of rumours but Mr. Fitz was running late and most students had already filed into the hallways. The people left in the car park were to busy with others to even notice Spencer. Which is why she wasn't worried when Ezra's silver car pulled up in one of the spaces. Or when she marched over to the car before he got out. Or when he gasped in shock when she sat in his passenger seat. No, Spencer wasn't even worried when Mr. Fitz looked at her and exclaimed, "Spencer, what are you doing?". Instead, she just turned to him with a serious look on her face and a grave tone in her voice and said, "Aria's in trouble."
So there you have it. Sounds more like a case against Jason at the moment but it will have some Ezria in it soon. Whether you liked it or not, please review. Even if it's just to tell me how much you hate Jason right now, I know I do. Thanks xD
