A/N – I'll keep this short. I'm back, with a new story! Hanna-centric. You know the plot from the summary, so I'll leave you to it. Toodle-loo!
Set between 'Mona-Mania' and 'Misery Loves Company'
Disclaimer – I don't own PLL. Marlene King and Sara Shepard have that honour. However, if they have any spare Toby Cavanaughs... *hint hint* ;)
I will keep quiet
You won't even know I'm here
You won't suspect a thing
You won't see me in the mirror
But I crept into your heart
You can't make me disappear
Til I make you
I made myself at home
In the cobwebs and the lies
I'm learning all your tricks
I can hurt you from inside
Oh I made myself a promise
You would never see me cry
Til I make you
You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This Hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you
I will be here
When you think you're all alone
Seeping through the cracks
I'm the poison in your bones
My love is your disease
I won't let it set you free
Til I break you...
'The Devil Within' - Digital Daggers
"Felling any better?" Hanna asked into the phone. It was Saturday night, and Aria hadn't been feeling so good since lunchtime.
"Not really," Aria replied, "but I'm sure it's just a one-day bug. I'll be fine tomorrow"
"That's good. Hey, did I tell you about my interview? I've picked out some shoes, but I'm going to ask Caleb about the dress tomorrow."
"Sounds great, Han," Aria said. She sounded weak, so Hanna said goodbye and hoped she'd better soon. No sooner had she put the phone down then it chimed again. Hanna picked up the phone, and her mood deflated when she saw who it was:
Let's play a game, Hannakins. There's one little liar who's not feeling so good, one who has an interview tomorrow, one who has a girlfriend who's afraid of me, and one with a very important date tomorrow. Who's the most vunerable right now, Hanna? Who's the most scared? I'm always watching, especially when you're least expecting it...
Kisses! –A xo
Hanna growled, her tolerance of 'A' falling rapidly. Why had 'A' picked their lives to ruin? If 'A' did anything to make Aria's illness worse or spoil Spencer's anniversary tomorrow, Hanna actually felt she would run away to take A down herself.
"I hope you're listening," she suddenly shouted, "because I hate you! I really do. And I wish you had never come into our lives!"
Luckily Ashley was out on a date with Pastor Ted, and so didn't come running after Hanna's outburst. But Hanna swore she saw the bushes moving and the shape of someone wearing a dark hoodie slinking back into the shadows in the garden.
Somehow, the idea that her shouting had made 'A' leave her house alone that night helped, and as she got changed and got into bed, her last thought was of how different things might be without their constant watcher looking over them.
