AN: Okay so I know I really need to focus on my other fics but I just couldn't get this one out of my head and ended up writing the first four chapters just today. Hopefully I will be able to update more regularly than my other stories. The next chapter will be up soon.

The Pilot, Prologue:
The wind blew strongly outside as five girls inside the barn were sharing drinks and having fun. Suddenly the lights went out and the music turned off.
"What happened?" asked the olive skinned brunette, Emily.
"It must be the storm." Reasoned Spencer. A loud creak cut through the silence of the barn and the howling of the wind outside.
"Something's out there." Whispered Aria as she edged closer to the other short girl. The door of the barn swung open.
"Guys." Whimpered Hanna as she started to shiver.
"I'm sure it's nothing." Comforted Olivia, although the tone of her voice said she too was unsure. Slowly the girls got up and huddled together as they inched towards the door. As they came closer, they heard something shatter outside, they screamed but still came closer. Suddenly a third blonde jumped into the barn from behind the door.
"Gotcha." She shouted before giggling. The fright had made the other girls scream again.
"That's so not funny, Alison!" Scolded Spencer.
"I thought it was hilarious, girls."
"You're so gonna pay for that, Ali." Said Olivia as she rolled her vivid green eyes at her best friend. They all laughed and settled down on the scattered sofas and cushions that they had dragged into the barn earlier.
"Ali, did you download the new Beyonce?" Asked Hanna, eager to impress their leader.
"Not yet."
"I'm loving her new video." Gushed Emily,
"Maybe a little too much, Em." Said Alison giving her a significant look, Emily looked down slightly embarrassed. Olivia observed the interaction but kept quiet as she often did lately. Ali passed the red plastic cup of vodka to Aria. "Your turn. Go on." Aria started to drink, taking a rather large gulp and feeling the burn at the back of her throat.
"Careful, Aria." Teased Spencer "Take too much, and you'll tell us all your secrets."
"Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close. Drink up." Said Alison, looking around at all of the other girls in the circle.
Sometime later Aria woke up in the barn, Emily and Hanna were still sleeping but Spencer, Ali and Olivia were missing. Aria turned to wake the girls.
"Where's Ali, Ollie and Spencer?" She asked, dazed from sleep and the alcohol.
"We don't know." The pink haired girl replied as she got up to go to the door, Spencer arrived at this moment looking confused and worried.
"Ali? Ollie?" Questioned Aria.
"She's gone." She replied in shock.
"What do you mean she's gone?" She demanded.
"Who's gone?" Asked Hanna.
"Ali. I've looked everywhere for her. I think I heard her scream."
A year later a newspaper, "The Rosewood Observer" was dropped to the ground, a photo of Alison grinned up from the front page with the main headline "Still Missing"
