A/N: While I was reading another Liar story on this site, this idea came to here and since the idea seemed interesting in my head, I figured why not write it out. Read below and leave me your comments, questions and opinions. I can't wait to read them and if all things go good, I'll add more chapters to this story.
The Truth Shall Set You Free.
Chapter One. – Surprise.
The four girls with their dresses covered in dirt sat around the interrogation table, complete silence filling the air as the same questions ran through their minds. "What was 'A' up to?" and of course, "Was Dr. Sullivan okay?" Aria had her head down, Emily was biting on her nails, Spencer was looking at anything but her mother and Hannah kept quiet. They all knew their parents were outside waiting for them and that made them nervous simply because they had no way of explaining what happened today. They could only hope things would get better from here.
Their lawyer, Spencer's mother, sat in front of them with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed on the teenagers. She has been grilling them about the events that occurred earlier in the day but all four girls have been tight lip about it. While she knew that they weren't responsible for the death of their best friend Alison, she just knew, from the feeling in her gut that they were up to no good. And she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Detective Wilden had walked in earlier with a shovel in hand, only to admit that said shovel was the weapon that killed Alison. While she didn't like the approach he took with showing off the shovel, she couldn't help but notice that the girls didn't seem so shocked. They knew beforehand or they were simply that good at hiding their feelings. Since he had walked away, the girls stayed silent.
The door opened and Wilden showed himself. "Alright girls, stand up and line up." His voice was anything but gentle.
"What's happening, where are you taking them?"
The detective took one glance at Veronica and escorted the girls out. The girls all wanted to say something but in fear of letting something slip and their parents being a few feet away from them kept them quiet.
"I demand an answer from you." Veronica didn't like this. She knew he was bitter from the actions she took about his indecent behavior but there was no need to take it out on the girls.
Wilden escorted the girls to where their parents were and it wasn't before long when Darren's Supervisor was standing besides Wilden. The girls were hugged by their parents while they all looked at one another. They didn't know what was going on and if possible, they were more confused than ever.
"They are free to go and we do apologize for the inconvenience." It was evident that Wilden didn't like that statement very much but he was smart enough to hold back as he handed the girls back their belongings.
Unclenching his hands, he spoke up. "After all, you can't arrest someone for someone's murder when that someone isn't dead." Smirk.
Confusion hit everybody as they tried to understand the Detective's words and let it sink in but there wasn't enough time before footsteps were heard, well more like someone in high heels. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion for the girls. The person walking than the motion of everyone turning their heads to witness what they otherwise wouldn't believe had they not been inside the police precincts.
A flash of blonde hair and the girls gasped. Aria's eyes grew wide, Hanna's mouth was wide open, Spencer was frozen and Emily was in tears. This couldn't be happening.
"Miss me?" The familiar voice filled their ears . . . Alison was back.
'Alright, well we'll leave you guys alone.' With that both police officers walked away.
They could hear a pin drop, it was that freaking quiet. Two years, for two years they thought Alison was dead and yet, alive and older, she was standing before them. In a police station nonetheless, guess some things didn't change over the years.
"But the body, the funeral?" While the parents stood back in shock, the girls seemed to recover quite quickly. Alison's response was silence. The awkwardness came back.
Aria looked over her best friend and she couldn't help agree that these past two years were extremely kind to Alison. Alison had grown up and from what her clothing was showing off, she also came into her assets. Her signature blonde hair grew longer, lighter and curlier. Alison was beautiful, simply put.
Emily couldn't keep her eyes off of Alison, a tingling feeling formed in her lips when she thought about her 'flashback,' a light blush forming on her cheeks as she looked down at the ground when Alison stared back. Instantly Emily felt like a little girl as she tried to brush off the dirt from her dress but stopped herself when she noticed all she did was make it worse.
Hanna couldn't help but feel guilty when her mind went back to her therapy session with . "You are gone. And I am so over missing you." Though she knew she didn't have much reason to be guilty about, it didn't stop the feeling from consuming her and it didn't help that Alison was staring her down.
Spencer didn't know what to believe. Her eyes were on Alison and Alison only and she still was having trouble processing it. How could it be that Alison was still alive? What about the body that they found in Alison's home? Spencer didn't know what to believe but whatever it was, she knew she wasn't going to trust Alison. She didn't before in the past and she wasn't going to now.
But one thing they did notice but kept quiet about was her necklace. A gold chain with a ring attached, the same diamond ring Spencer had lost at the pawn shop.
"Does your mother know? Your brother?" Ella's voice was heard from the rest and also forced the girls to rip their eyes off from one another.
Alison giggled and shrugged her shoulders. She chose to ignore Aria's mother and her eyes fell on Hanna's father. Her fingers played with the tip of her blonde hair as she spoke. "Weren't you getting married today?"
Yes, she did notice the sudden change on the girls face but she kept her eyes on Hanna's father but looked away when the older man just shook his head.
The girls were angry but they didn't have the chance to express it. Two years and Alison walked in as nothing had ever happened. So many questions and so many emotions were running through them, they didn't have enough strength to deal with 'A'.
The eerily bell sounded and the girls looked down at their phone.
"Just a coincidence." Hannah let out a forced laugh.
'Now that Queen Bee is back in town, the real fun can begin.' -A.
Alison looked at the girls and instantly, her phone dinged which indicated a new text message. "Yeah." They looked up and Alison nodded her head. Now they were in trouble.
Detective Wilden came back. "Alison, we're going to need to ask you some questions so if you can come with me." The former dead girl nodded her head.
"See you girls later." She waved goodbye with a smile as she walked behind the officer and what they all failed to notice was Garrett and Jenna standing in the back corner.
