Chapter 1
The Liars were at Spencer's. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, in brief, a cliché day. Then the doorknob spun. A quiet Toby snuck behind Spencer and put his hands on her eyes. She quickly got up, spun on her heels, wrapped her arms around his neck, and they both shared a passionate kiss.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Are you expecting someone?" Hanna asked Spencer.
"Nope, not that I know of" came the reply.
Spencer headed to the door and opened it. A brunette with curly locks was standing there, the Rosewood observer in hand.
"Is Spencer Hastings here?" she shyly asked.
"That's me. How can I…"
"And are Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery and Emily Fields here as well?" she interrupted.
"Yes. Who are you?"
"Are you four alone?"
Spencer was losing patience. "What do you want?"
"Please, it's just…I… are you girls alone?"
"No, my boyfriend's here. What?!" Spencer's voice was gradually getting louder. This attracted the people inside.
"Spence, what's wrong?" asked Aria, a bit concerned.
Spencer didn't have time to reply, as the stranger preceded her. "Can..can I talk to you girls in private?"
The four Liars looked at each other, consulting each other.
"Okay", said Emily.
"Toby? Can you please leave us alone a bit?" asked Spencer, a little bit sad to see her love one leave her so fast.
"Yeah, no prob."
The girl looked down as Toby passed by her. She was a little embarrassed to interrupt the girls' day, but she had no choice. This was important. A lot.
"Okay then. Let's sit outside and you can start by telling us your name" suggested Spencer.
The girls went ahead, followed by the soon-to-be not-so stranger.
"My name is Alex", she started mumbling.
"Hey! Just like your ex, Spence" said Hanna jokingly.
They all gave her that look that told her to shut up.
"This is gonna sound weird but are you getting like..text messages and threats from… emmm… 'A'?"
A wave of silence occupied the room. Aria tried to break it, "Why are you asking this?"
The girl relaxed a bit. That answer in the form of a question meant yes.
"Because I've been getting them too…"
