It was late afternoon in the town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania. The sun was starting to set and it was starting to cool down outside. However, the important thing was that for a certain masked individual it wasn't to cold for what they were about to do.
At first this individual wasn't sure they wanted to do this, but it would be better in the long run and it would also keep themselves alive.
It was going to be a job of only moderate difficulty.
After all, the blonde woman gave this particular individual a lot of information about the female target. There was also a male victim and that was where the difficulty came in.
You see there was indeed a male victim but he wasn't to be harmed in any way. The plan was to use the information she got from the blonde woman and make the male victim believe that the female target has betrayed him and therefore causing the dissolution of their relationship.
Personally the masked individual thought that the male victim was going to be harmed by this. However, the individual came to the realization that the blonde woman must have meant physically harmed.
I mean what else could the blonde woman have meant. This sort of thing will hurt the male victim.
The masked individual took one more look at the file to make sure they got it right.
The male victim goes by the name of Mike Montgomery. The female target was Mona Vanderwaal.
The blonde woman who hired the masked individual was smiling. After all this plan was perfect. Mona would hurt Mike and leave him available do date other girls.
She just wished it hadn't come to this. We shouldn't be at this point but now there is no other way. The information would now have to come into the light.
One might ask how did this blonde woman get all of this information. The answer is quite simple. Mona put it in her hands herself. To be fair, she probably didn't know what she was handing over at the time.
Mona was in a rush when she handed over the papers and pictures and other damning evidence of betrayal. Mona had shoved all of it in a large envelope and asked her to get rid of it somewhere far away.
The blonde woman had decided to take care of it over the weekend. However when she took it home curiosity got the better of her.
What could possibly be in there? After all, Mona had put the past behind her. Anyone who knew Mona would come to the exact same conclusion although some do so only because everyone else says the same.
That is what made it surprising. If it was something to do with Mona's past Mona would have taken care of it herself or she wouldn't have let anyone even see the envelope.
The mysterious blonde woman also considered it might actually be a part of her (Mona's) past. After all, Mona wasn't always a good person. She had done a lot of bad things and hurt a few people along the way.
This envelope could also have been a trap. Mona did say she wanted everything in the envelope destroyed but the question was why. Was she hiding some dark secret or was Mona tricking the blonde woman into destroying it?
The blonde had come to a decision on what to do. It was just too risky to destroy it before knowing what the envelope contained.
When she opened the envelope everything became clear. The envelope contained evidence of Mona possibly cheating on Mike. I say possibly because Mona did stuff like cheating in the past.
The blonde also realized that Mona was worried this would get to Mike. Knowing just how many people hated her, there was a strong possibility that someone would indeed send a copy of this stuff to Mike.
She hoped that didn't happen. If another girl gave it to him then there was a chance that he might start feeling something for her.
That simply couldn't happen. If it did then all of this could be for nothing.
However, she couldn't worry about that right now because she had to meet her friend Aria. Normally she wouldn't have put some like this off but things like this have to be handled delicately.
In the end no one was going to keep Hanna Marin from getting the guy she wanted.
Hanna was going to regret that decision. You see the masked individual she had hired had other plans in mind. The masked individual took her mask off and it was a blonde named Alison.
Alison cant believe what she has been reduced to. She used to be on top and in control but now she has to take jobs like this for money.
Alison is going to make Hanna regret not checking who was under the mask. She had a feeling Alison knew who she was the entire time and it completely infuriated her.
Unfortunately for Hanna she forgot one little fact. Allison DiLaurentis may be down but she is never out.
Alison had the perfect way to do it. She did go along with the idea to get Mike and Mona to break up. She never really liked Mona too much anyway. The fact that Mona was ultimately the one responsible for this plans success just made it that much sweeter.
However, that is where the revenge started. You see once Mike and Mona broke up Hanna would not be the one to get him. Alison knew Emily liked him it would be simple to put those two together.
She was also planning extra revenge on Mona for cheating on Mike. Mona will hurt his friends brother which in turn hurts her friend which in turn upsets her.
Alison knew exactly how it was going to happen to. She knew Mike was at home now and so had a package sent there containing pictures and other proof that Mona is cheating.
You would think that Mike would be the one to open it and you would be wrong. The package came with a card signed by A warning the person opening it about Mona cheating.
The plan was to have Emily open it. Once she opened it she would get rid of the card but probably show Mike the contents of the package. The question is would the contents of the card be enough to convince her to open the box.
The inside of the card said a knife through. After the word through there is a picture of a heart with the word his on it and a knife sticking through it.
This way the warning is coming in loud and clear and it makes it look like Mona is A.
Now she just had to contact Emily and wait.
Emily just got in the house after a long run. Emily started getting the results she wanted when she saw Mike checking her out a few times. At first she didn't know Mike was checking her out so she had to step it up a little bit.
It had paid off when she started bending over in front of him. He paid attention to her when she was around now. Unfortunately it only worked when Mona wasn't around to ruin everything.
Emily only started with these long runs because of Hanna. You see one day she caught flirting with Mike and she was bending over so her chest was visible to him. It didn't bother her much at first until she realized Hanna wasn't wearing a bra.
That pissed her off. I mean it would have caused her to go over there and say something to Mike but thankfully Mona was there and she noticed.
It was unfortunate for Mike though. First she had kicked him in the groin than ran him ragged for the next few weeks. Emily still remembers finding Mike passed out on his couch with a fever.
She had taken care of him and was about to tell him how she felt but that was when Mona came back into the picture. She actually seemed like she was sorry for what she had done and so she took a step back.
Emily was kicking herself now for taking a step back.
However her train of thought was cut off when she got a text from Ali telling her to go to Aria's house.
Mike Montgomery was laying on his bed exhausted. He had recently recovered from a fever and the consequences of exhaustion.
He was wondering about his girlfriend Mona. She had kicked him in the nuts for staring at Emily and Hanna a few times. She had a big problem with that even though she flirts with other guys constantly.
You cant tell Mona that unless you wanted to be in more pain.
It made him angry that she kicked him in the nuts for staring. To be fair, he may have stared a little too long at Emily and definitely too long at Hanna. However, all he did was talk to them. He wasn't flirting. Mike was careful to make sure that none of his conversation with either of them came back as flirting. Did it really matter to Mona though? What do you think?
Anyway Mike now focused on what happened after Mona kicking him between his legs. After that painful incident, Mona had him running around doing all sorts of stuff every chance she could.
He was fine for about 2 or 3 days max. On the fourth day it had started to rain and today she had him doing everything he could outside. He was already feeling bad after yesterday and today he could barely stand.
Mona must have noticed and sent him home at 4.
He had just made it to the couch where he almost instantaneously fainted. The next thing he had remembered was waking up in his bed with someone sleeping next to him.
When his vision cleared he noticed that it was Emily snuggled up to him. He was about to wake her up and tell her to get off when he felt the warmth the snuggling was giving him. Mike slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
This pattern continued for two more days. On the third day he felt like he could finally get out of bed. Emily wasn't there. Mike figured she must of went home for today. He learned that was the case when he opened his door.
Emily wasn't the one behind the door. It was Mona. She came to apologize and beg for forgiveness. Then Emily came up from downstairs and saw Mona. Mike didn't see her at first but Mona did. Mona saw her and figured out for herself what might have happened had she not been there. She decided she was going to be cruel and also prove who Mike belonged to.
Mona had jumped into his arms. To make matters worse their positions made it possible for Mona to see Emily's face while she was holding Mike. When Mike switched their positions he saw Emily.
She had left before he could say a word.
Now lets get back to the present. By the present I mean about 2 or 3 days after this incident occurred.
Mike was checking his email when he saw an Email from someone named A. Once he saw it he was shocked there were pictures of Mona cheating on him. That's not the worst part of it all.
The worst part of it was when he checked the dates of the picture. These pictures now prove that she was cheating on him during those days he was recovering from the hell that she put him through.
Mike smashed a picture frame that had a picture of him and Mona. After that he picked up one of the shards of glass and held it in his hands while he contemplated his next move.
Emily had just gotten to Aria's house. She didn't think about why Alison wanted her to come here because she doesn't have any idea. Then it just clicked for her. Alison was doing something nice for her. She was giving Emily a chance to tell Mike how she felt about him.
When she got inside she immediately headed for the stairs but was stopped by a package.
Normally she wouldn't open it but the card from A convinced her otherwise. She had to make sure there wasn't anything dangerous in the box. Emily read the card and was confused.
It said a knife through and then a picture. It took her a few seconds to realize what the message was. It was a knife through his heart. It was a warning from A? She had no time to ponder that now.
She heeded the warning and hoped Mike was safe and sound.
Nothing could have prepared Emily for what she saw when she opened Mike's door.
