Thank you for the kind words of those who reviewed this story, I'm hoping that I'll have a summary to put up soon. I'm still not sure where this story is going but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Sorry that it's a short chapter, I'm just having writers block and also because I'm watching the PLL marathon leading up to the season premiere! So, here goes nothing...
"We have to find her!" Emily exclaimed.
Spencer walked over to her tall brunette friend and put her arm around her to comfort her the best way she knew how at a time she didn't know all of the facts and for all she knew this could just be another of Ali's tricks.
The four girls walked into the woods slowly calling out Alison's name and shining the flashlights from their phones at every direction they heard a sound but they still didn't find her. Emily was becoming more and more emotional and anxious every second that they didn't find her blondie, the girl she has been in love with since she pretty much laid eyes on Alison. Emily always saw something different in Alison, different than what everyone else saw. You see, Alison was queen bee in Rosewood Day so she had a reputation to live up to so she came off as a bitch, and she had this ice cold stare to her that if you pissed her off in any sort of way the stare alone would make you want to run for the hills. There was more to Alison than just that, Emily knew that underneath all that was an amazing person, a loving, caring and kind person; but that person really only came out for Emily.
"Wait guys, I think I see something." Aria says pointing ahead of them to a clear section of the woodsy area.
They all look to where Aria was pointing and Emily ran towards the area and the others screamed for her to stop, it wasn't safe for her to run ahead without them, not after the text they saw on Ali's phone. Emily stops in her tracks and screams once again but this time her scream was different from when she saw the rock, you could hear the hurt in her voice. Aria, Hanna and Spencer ran towards her and they all stopped in their tracks too from the sight before them. There was a hand sticking out of a patch of dirt that looked as if it was freshly dug and a shovel laying about a foot away. This hand had baby blue nail polish on the nails and a bracelet that said Alison, the same bracelet that the other girls were wearing too. Alison had gotten them all matching bracelets with their names on them as a friendship bracelet about a year ago.
"Help me guys! We need to get her out!" Emily yelled with tears streaming down her face as she dropped on her knees and started digging the dirt out with her hands.
The other girls dropped down and pushed the dirt out with their hands too. Emily and Hanna cleared the dirt from Alison's face as Aria and Spencer cleared the dirt from her chest and legs. The girls looked down at their friend sobbing, she had blood running down her face and dirt all over her. Emily put her head on top of Alison's chest to check for breathing and Emily sighed in relief. "She's alive, someone call the police." Emily says with tears still running down her face. Spencer stood up and took her phone out, as she was about to dial nine one one Alison's phone chimes again. The girls exchange and look and Emily opens Alison's phone and reads the message out loud.
Look at how easy it was for me to almost kill your Queen Bee, call the police and none of you will live to morning. -A
The girls talked about what would happen if they were to call the police, but they decided as a group not to do anything. I mean how could they after receiving a text like that? Their best friend was bleeding from the head laying in a hole that they have just dug her out of. They were terrified that the same thing would happen to them, so they just sat with Alison til she woken. Emily was sitting next to her unconscious girlfriend holding her hand when she decided she needed to tell her friends something.
"Hey, um there's something that I need to tell you all." Emily tried to say without sobbing about what's happened to Ali.
"Yeah, what is it Em?" Spencer looks over to her friend just sitting across from her.
The others looked over at Em waiting for her to tell them whatever it is she needed to tell them
"Ali and I ha-" Emily started but then stopped because she felt Alison's hand move in hers. For a second she thought it was her own hand moving or her mind playing tricks on her but than Alison's eyes started to flutter open and you could hear a small whisper that caught everyone's attention coming from Alison. "Em, I love you."
They all exchanged a look before moving closer to their blonde friend, Emily smiled and another tear ran down her face as she told her Blondie she loved her back.
"We should get her out of here and get her cleaned up before that physco comes back." Spencer says reaching for Alison's hand.
Emily takes Alisons other hand and they lift her up slowly putting her arms around the both of them and begin to walk back to the barn. Once they got into the barn Hanna got out some clean clothes for Ali, and Aria ran her a warm bath. Spencer and Emily sat Ali down and looked at her head where she was hit by the rock and tried their best to clean it up.
"She definitely has a concussion, but if we stay up with her to make sure she's okay then I think she'll be fine. She's really lucky that this asshole didn't hit her any harder than he, she, it, bitch did. "Spencer said taking Ali's hand in hers.
"I'm fine, I just need an Aspirin." Ali says touching her head trying to stand up.
"Woah, no, you need to sit back down and take it easy for awhile." Emily says and she and Spencer put their hand on the back of Ali and her arm to guide her back down.
After a few minutes Aria comes out of the bathroom to tell them that the tub is filled and ready for Ali. They get her to the tub and strip her down to her bra and underwear and help her inside. "What happened to me?" Alison asks and suddenly wonders why she's just asking about this now. The girls explained the best they could with very little information they had, they aren't even sure themselves what happened for sure and why someone would do something like this. They asked Alison if she knew who this "–A" person was but she just shook her head and said no, so they left it as that, not wanting to stress their friend out even more than she already was.
