A/N: Okay! Before you read this chapter, I wanna point something out. The plaintiff, is the girls lawyer. The defendant is the a-teams lawyer!
Chapter 2: In The Beginning.
"You ladies may head in now, they're ready for you!" A business looking women said. We nodded in return.
All of us took a deep breath before cautiously pushing the doors open, revealing a courtroom full of spectators and news casters. They all walked up to the front of the courtroom and sat down, waiting for the trail to start.
And that's when all five of them walked in. One of the girls even had the nerve to smirk at us.
When the A-team was revealed, we were all in shock. Not because we figured them out, but because of WHO they were.
The judge then hit the gavel and ordered to start the trail.
"To start the trail off, the plaintiff calls the defendants to the stand in order to testify agianst this crime. We would like to interrogate Ms. Vanderwaal first, your honor." Our lawyer declared.
The judge continued, "Mona Vanderwaal is being called to the witness stand. Please put your right hand over your heart and continue with the oath."
"So Mona," our lawyer started off, "what was your relation to Alison DiLaurentis?
Mona looked as if she was thinking about her answer. "She was the queen bee, and I was the nerd. It was basically written in the books for her to bully me. I tried to ignore it, I really did. Soon enough, it started to take its toll on me, I started getting thoughts about what I would do to her. How I would kill her. But then I decided that she should suffer first, so I bought a prepaid phone and started sending her cryptic messages. And I finally got what I wanted, for her to disappear. Not to sugarcoat it, though." She sent a smirk in our direction. Hanna looked as if she were about to cry, not that we would blame her.
"Did you ever think it would lead up to this? Her disappearing?" Our lawyer asked.
She half laughed. "Of course not. But it was fun watching her squirm with fear for once in her life. For once, she wasn't the fearless one, and it probably scared her. Not that I'm complaining."
Our lawyer took a minute to compile his thoughts. "And how did you feel after you heard the news about Alison?"
"I had mixed feeling of course, felt bad for her family, but not for her. She deserved everything she got." Mona got a few unappreciative looks from the spectators.
"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation Mona." Our lawyer spoke to her while she slid off the stand and walked back to her table along with the others. You could tell she wasn't fazed at all with her confession. It sickened me.
"The defendant calls Aria Montgomery to the witness stand." The judge announced.
I take a deep breath as I stood and walked over towards the witness stand. This was it, I told myself. This is where I tell the world my story, our story. If I just go up there, and state our conditions and then tell our story. It'll be over, they will go to jail and this will be over. Finally. I sit down and take the oath before the cross-examination starts.
"I have a request, before we start." I speak up.
"Yes, Ms. Montgomery?" The judge questioned.
"If we agree to tell the world our story, then we have some conditions." I started.
"And what are those conditions?" The judge asked.
"We don't want anyone sent to jail. Unless they physically hurt us in some way." I pleaded.
The judge looked towards the jury. "Is that even possible?"
"I don't know." The head of the jury commented.
"Well then, why don't we hold off this cross examination until tomorrow. Our next witness up to the stand, who pleads innocent against the plaintiff, is Spencer Hastings." The judge announced.
And THAT is where I stopped breathing. All the memories started flooding back to me.
Flashback:
All I could see was black. I could faintly hear Hanna's sobs from beside me. I knew this was probably the end. The next thing that happened was a huge game-changer.
"Aw. Look at the hopeless girls! I love seeing you all squirm." Toby started out.
"I'm sorry." Spencer cried. "This is all my fault."
"Spencer, no it's not." I tried to reason with her. I tried to face her, but me being tied up and all I could barely breath without my body aching.
"No really," Spencer stood up. "It's all my fault." I whipped my head up toward her, painfully I must add, and was shocking to see her stand up while throwing a smirk in our direction.
It was her. The one who betrayed us, all of us. And I couldn't get it out of my mind.
A/N: Don't forget to review! It would mean a lot! Who else do you think will be on the A-Team?
