Hi. I am extremely sorry for the ridiculous delay and the shortness of the chapter. But I promise more frequent updates now as I have a great idea for the next part. I'd have added it to this but i realise it's been over seven weeks and I just wanted to get an update out.

See you soon.

Chapter 4:

"Please follow the lighted pathway." The voice chimed. It was loud but not loud enough to drown out the haunting singing that was coming from off camera.

"We can't just ignore it." Screen Spencer told the group. "Whatever happens we're together. Remember that."

The rest of the girls nodded. They all looked scared, Ella noted to herself. She'd finally realised what the expression behind Aria's eyes had been for the past two years. Fear. She should have picked up on it. She should have realised that somebody had been terrorising her daughter. After all she'd spent the last year jumping when her phone went off. She'd mentioned this to Byron; they'd both decided she was just paranoid that Mona's messages would start again. They had been wrong.

The girls on the screen started to walk warily down the corridor towards the voice. Ella took in Aria's appearance. She looked physically unharmed; her hair was highlighted pink again. Whatever game A had planned for them it involved them going back to before they escaped to Iceland.

"ALISON?" Spencer shouted. The parents exchanged troubled looks. Was Spencer confusing past with present. It was Toby that took pity and started to fill them in.

"A's had Mona posing as Alison." He explained. "She's checking that Mona's ok."

There was no reply.

"ALISON!" Aria tried this time. Still nothing.

They were at the door at the end of the corridor; Spencer reached her hand out to twist the door knob. The door opened with a high pitched screech, all four girls winced at the loud noise.

"HELP ME!" Mona's voice yelled.

The girls all jumped into action as if somebody had flicked a switch and burst through the remainder of the door. They looked like they were ready to fight for Mona. But Mona wasn't in the room, (which was scarily similar to the DiLaurentis' lounge Ella noted.) in the centre of the room was a tape recorder. It was playing back the track of Mona who had now reverted back to singing the nursery rhyme.

"Where the hell is she?" Hanna said picking up the recorder and trying to turn it off.

"I don't know. Wherever she is this isn't live. A probably recorded it when she got locked out of her room when she first got here." Spencer told them.

Hanna managed to stop the recording and threw the recorder down.

"Where…" Her question was cut short by four chimes at different pitches. "Game time." She finished grimly.

The other girls nodded and headed out of the door and headed towards another room. Spencer walked over to the post box in the corner of the room. It had a letter A on the side.

"There's one for each of us." She told them as she handed out the black envelopes. As well as the girls names they all had on a number. Spencer had number one.

"Toby," She read aloud. "I'm waiting for you to come and find them. I'm disappointed that despite the uniform that you now wear you still haven't got the ability to protect the person that you love." Her voice cracked.

"They must be watching." Aria worked out she turned to the camera as if she could see the people watching the footage.

Spencer carried on reading, "I thought that after everything I gave to you about your mom you'd have figured out who I was by now but you haven't. I'm disappointed Toby. Just in case my text wasn't obvious, you're running out of time to save her. Kisses –A"

Spencer looked up to the camera with tears in her eyes and as Ella looked over at Toby he looked like he was breaking without her.

"Tobes. Don't listen to it. I love you." She collapsed into a chair and shredded the letter with her bare hands. She turned to look at Hanna whose letter had the number two on it.

"Caleb." She read, "Your hacking skills have already led you into a trap and once again I am disappointed that you have failed to find the girl that you love. Maybe you should keep trying. Times running out. Kisses –A."

Hanna turned to face the camera as well. "C'mon Caleb. Find me."

Aria was already tearing her letter open. "It's for Ezra." She told the others in shock.

Ella turned to look at Ezra who had become scarily pale as the reading of the letters from A had continued; he now looked like Casper the friendly ghost.

"Ezra, no matter how many times I tried to pull you and Aria apart you just couldn't stay away. I bet you wish you'd stayed away now because all of you are on my radar. In Rosewood it's not only bitches that get buried. – A."

Ezra, Caleb and Toby exchanged worried glances. As Aria continued talking.

"Ezra get out of there. I don't care about how you feel. Leave. Get yourself out of this mess."

Ezra shook his head, "There's not a chance." He spoke as if Aria was in the room with him. "I'm not going anywhere." He confirmed before turning to the screen.

Emily was opening her letter as well. "Listen up bitches. You know me and I'm going to get you back for what you put me through. You're my dolls and I'm going to make you play a game of the past. – A."

"A game of the past?" Hanna asked, "I don't even know what that means."

"It means A is finally to show us why." Spencer told the group and with that they all collapsed.

"SPENCER!" Toby yelled, as the rest of the people in the room yelled out for their loved ones.

…

The TV screen had gone black a few long minutes ago but the families that were gathered in the Hasting's living room were yet to break the silence that had fallen over the room when the four girls had dropped to the floor.

It wasn't until the shrill ringing of Caleb's mobile started, did they all start to realise where they were again. Caleb unwrapped his arms from around Ashley and started fishing around in his pocket to answer the phone.

"Paige. Hi." He said as he placed it down on the table, "You're on speaker."

"Hey Caleb. I'm on a bus about two minutes out of Rosewood." She informed him.

"Ok. We're all at the Hasting's. There have been some… developments."

Paige took a deep breath, "Ok I'll be there in a few minutes."

The line went dead.

(This next part is going to be the morgue scene from the premiere but with my own spin on it. Mainly because I have a really cool idea where I can go from this part [I need your opinions though. Do you want the 'bitch chipped us' plot?])
