'Don't fence me in' the ominous music blared on a loop through loud speakers as the girls sat huddled together in the rain. They're plan to escape foiled by an electric fence. Even if they had escaped they wouldn't have survived long anyway. The trees and grass seemed to go on for days and they had no food or water to bring with them.

Food.

Water.

Spencer glanced over at Hanna who held her face out towards the rain and licked her lips slowly. Her eyes were closed tight as if she was in pain. Probably just having hunger pangs as everyone else. She wondered what Hanna imagined herself eating, whatever it was Spencer knew it had to taste good. She wanted some. Her imagination gave out hours ago, or was it days?

"How long ha-" Spencer's voice didn't sound like her own. Her mouth felt heavy like someone was holding onto her bottom lip as she spoke. Despite the rain her lips were chapped and her spit tasted like metal.

"3 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 1,2,3, 4 seconds." Mona answered Spencers unfinished question. She fiddled with the wet blonde locks that invaded her scalp as she tried to keep warm next to Emily.

"What? 3 days?" Emily asked in shock. How could this be? With the same music blaring and the same old scenery Emily could have sworn not a second had passed.

"Yes, and 6 hours, 42 min-" Mona was cut off by Hanna. "Okay Mona, we get it."

"Guys?" Spencer's voice croaked. They All turned in her direction. They all knew that tone of voice, it meant something was wrong. "Yeah Spence?" Emily probed.

"How long has Aria been asleep?" She asked. Emily, Hanna, and Mona slowly turned in Aria's direction. Her head lay in Mona's lap and she appeared fast asleep.

"I don't know, umm, she... I don't know." Mona's mind went fraught with the fact that she didn't know the time. Timing was her only savior, Math was her friend, her blanket, her food and water.

Hanna leaned over and tapped Arias face, she didn't move. She tapped it one more time this time harder and still she didn't stir.

"Aria!" Emily yelled getting frantic. "Aria wake up!" Spencer joined.

She looked pale, her black and burgundy dress the only color on her body. The rain was picking up and raining harder on their heads. It was getting hard to see.

Spencer stood up and ran, or at least she thought she was running it was more of a sickly gallop, towards the door and began to bang on it.

"She's gonna die! If you don't let us in she'll die." Her cries went unanswered.

Hanna now shook Aria by her shoulders. "Get up! You can't let this 'A' bitch win!"

"It's Charles." Spencer half whispered as she leaned on the door.

"I don't care Spencer, still -A to me." Hanna replied.

Mona felt Aria's pulse. "Her pulse is very slow but it's there."

Suddenly the music stopped and the girls touched their ears. The music had been blaring for so long that the silence seemed wrong. Their ears rang with the quiet.

"Follow the lighted pathway." The familiar computerized voice instructed. The door then opened and the floor lit up.

"Come on let's lift Aria." Emily Said as she bent down to grab a limb. They all took a limb and began walking slowly towards the door.

"Gosh! Who knew someone this small could be so heavy!" Hanna said as she shifted her weight trying not to drop Aria.

"We're almost there." Spencer grunted.

"Proceed to your rooms." The voice instructed again.

The girls walked Aria in front of her room and gently sat her down.

"How's she gonna get in?" Emily asked concerned.

"A will handle that." Mona answered out of experience. "She'll be fine."

The girls then stood in front of their respective doorways and gave a final look of farewell to one another as they opened and closed.

Mona entered her room to find a plate of food, and a change of clothes waiting on her bed.

"For me?" She asked turning and looking at the camera. She heard two beeps which meant yes.

"Thank you." Mona smiled at the camera and headed towards the bed. She devoured her food in seconds and wished that she had savored it. She didn't even get to taste it.

As she wiped her hands she glanced at the clothes. It was the same old yellow top and jeans. She hated yellow now. When she was free she vowed to burn every yellow piece of clothing that hung in her closet. She vowed silently though, wouldn't want to upset A.

Slowly Mona unzipped her dress and stepped out of it. Knowing That -A was watching her and that -A was 'Charles' this upset her. The creep. Still she found a hanger and neatly hung the dress in her closet.

'Don't fence me in' Mona hummed as she began dressing. She hoped that the other girls got food and clothes also she needed them healthy if they were gonna get out of there alive.

Spencer finished off the last of her water and was about to go to bed when she heard a siren. She ran to her door and covered her ears. When the door opened she saw Hanna and Emily standing by their doors, but no Mona nor Aria.

"Let's play a game." The voice sounded from up ahead.

The girls looked at each other terrified of what was to happen.

"Bye Bye now."

Suddenly gas seeped from the walls causing the girls to choke. Hanna tried turning the doorknob to her room but it was locked. She looked up to see Emily on her hands and knees wheezing trying to get some air into her system. The sound made Hanna's eyes tear up.

Spencer's eyes had turned bloodshot red as she tried to hold her breath and not inhale the dangerous gas, but she soon succumbed to it and passed out.

Hanna leaned against the door waiting for herself to do the same as her vision blurred she saw Mona's door open.

Mona stepped out wearing a gas mask. She noticed the other girls passed out before she noticed that Hanna was staring right at her. She began to walk towards her to see if she was okay.

"Want to play a game?" The voice asked.

Mona stopped in her tracks, she knew this question was rhetorical and nodded her head.

"Great, because it's game time."

She heard Hanna's body fall to the floor as she passed out from the gas

"Let's play."
