She held the phone tightly in her hand waiting for the confirmation text. It felt like days had past, the news couldn't have come any sooner.
"Everything's ready. Begin!"
A sick smile crossed her face, this is what she loved this is what she lived for. She strapped her leather gloves on and tied her sneakers, then proceeded to zip her black hoodie. All that was left was her mask, but that wasn't part of the plan. She examined the photos around the lair, she was ready she knew there every move, she knew Spencer would find her out. But that was the plan. Her laugh echoed throughout the hotel room.
A few Weeks Earlier
Aria and Hanna strutted down the runway, smiling at the crowd. Their faces light up as they heard the cheers from all of their loved ones. Emily and Spencer were close behind as they all stood in their dresses picked out by Ali, as they waited for the slideshow to begin.
"A moment of silence for one of our own"
The room went silent and all eyes went to the screen, portraying photos of Ali. In an instant the music blared and the photos were encompassed in flames!
"Listen up everyone because the bitch is dead!"
Hanna, Emily and Spencer ran from the stage as Aria watched Mrs. D and Jason run from the fashion show.
"Turn it off! Noel turn it off" Spencer yelled
"I can't!" He fiddled with the equipment
Spencer pulled the cords and hoped the video would end.
The audience quickly filed out of the room leaving only the girls to deal with the disastrous outcome of the video.
"How could someone do something like this?" Em wiped her tearful eyes
"I don't know Em"
"I think we all know who It was, it was that monster A" Spencer's eyes widened as she starred toward the screen
"Spence what are you looking at your eyes are popping out of your head" Joked Hanna as she turned to the screen
The girls gasped as, they read the message left on the screen.
"My dresses. My Game. My Rules. –A"
"We need to go!"
"Han, wait for me I just need to get my things"
Aria ran backstage and packed up her hair products "Do you want this back?" Noel asked
"I assumed it was yours" she teased
Noel leaned in and gave his favorite girl a kiss. He laughed as Aria reached for the disk.
"How did you do that?"
"I didn't it was in my computer. Pretty perfect right,
"I have to go Hanna is waiting for me, but we'll talk later?"
"Bye" He gave her another kiss
The Next Day- Rosewood High School
"What message is this book sending?"
Ezra watched as the students slumped in their seats. Only one hand was seen in the air. But it was too familiar he needed to hear someone else's voice. "Hanna? Do you know?"
She laughed "No"
"Just try"
Hanna slipped her phone under her desk and swiftly sent Spencer a text.
(Hanna) What the hell is the answer!
(Spencer) Life isn't always romantic it sometimes realistic
(Hanna) Oh got it
"Hanna, do you have an answer?"
"Well, I believe it says that life isn't always romantic, it's sometimes realistic"
"Great answer" Just then the bell rang "Don't forget to finish the study guide for tomorrow, Thank You"
The class began to disperse "Miss Montgomery can I speak to you for a moment"
Aria paused and rolled her eyes "Of course"
"Do you want us to wait?" Em asked
"No it's fine" Aria grabbed her books and walked towards Ezra
"So?"
"I'm pretty sure it was his video"
Ezra smiled "Does that mean what I think it does?"
"It might, I'm not sure, not yet"
"Keep searching, we need to find out what he knows"
"Can I come over tonight?" Aria moved closer towards her English teacher
"You can come over whenever you want" Ezra grabbed Aria hand "I'll see you later"
Later that Night-Hasting House/Ezra's Apartment
"Hanna, chill there's more pizza in the fridge" Spencer laughed
"Funny, but you know I eat when I'm stressed"
"What's there to stress about!"
"Em what about the fashion show, people are going to think we did that!"
"Who's going to think that?"
"People"
"Thanks for being specific Han" Spencer laughed
"It's Aria" Emily said answering her phone
"Hey where are you?"
"On my way I needed to stop at Ezra's first"
"I thought you broke up?"
Aria froze, she had just remember they thought she was dating Noel "Yea, I left something there"
Emily was hesitant to believe her "Okay are you going to be here soon?"
"Of Course" she lied
Aria hung up the phone and turned to her love "I hate lying to them"
"I know, but what other option do we have? You want to keep them safe don't you?"
Her head fell onto his shoulder and her hand intertwined with his "I would do anything to keep them safe, but do you really think Noel knows?"
"I think he knows something, and we need all the information we can get if you want to save her"
Aria gazed into his eyes "Do you have any idea how much I love you?"
A smirk crossed Ezra's face "Couldn't nearly be as much as I love you"
Aria leaned in and the two shared a kiss "I have to go, there expecting me"
"Or you could stay, I mean if you wanted to"
Her heart leaped from her chest, that was all she wanted, but she knew her friends would be suspicious especially Spencer. Ever since A broke her and Toby up she's been on the hunt for blood.
"I wish" Aria gave him on last kiss and left
"Hey Han, it's me I'll be there in ten minutes"
"Finally, it's ben forever if I didn't know better I would say someone was 'watching a movie' with Ezra if you know what I mean"
"Hanna I know what you mean and that's disgusting." She laughed at this obvious lie
"Can you hurry up I want to start the movie!"
"Please tell me it's not The Notebook again!"
"What can I say I love that movie!"
The Hasting House
Aria arrived at Spencer's house a few minutes later.
"Where have you been, all the pizza's already gone!"
"I told you I needed to pick something up from" she paused "Mr. Fitz"
"Wow, she said Mr. Fitz she means business" Laughed Hanna
Aria smiled and followed the girls to Spencer's room. Papers were tossed across the floor, her photos had been smashed and her computer was gone.
"Spence what the hell happened to your room?"
Spencer frantically looked around her room "My computer's gone!"
"Guys that's not the only thing" Aria glanced at a sneaker lying next to the opened window
The girls couldn't breathe as they came up with the realization "A took Emily!"
