Alison was able to get a burner phone from Noel to use in case of emergencies. The only person who had the number is Noel, who would text to check on her when he couldn't get away to see her. So when she heard the chime of message she figured it was Noel flaking on her this week.

"Can you save her before it's too late?

-A"

At the bottom of the text there was an attachment. Alison clicked on it and a map with an address popped up with "Tick-Tock" written across it in red.

Alison felt like her whole world was imploding. She had never felt anything like it before. She had to get to Emily no matter what the cost; she never told her how much she meant to her. She wasn't hundred percent sure of her feelings, but she knew she didn't want to live in a world without Emily Fields.

She had to use what little money she had left and called a taxi. She gave the driver the address and her last $100. "I need to get there as fucking fast as you can."

What would have been an almost 30 minute drive took only fifteen minutes. Alison looked out the window at an old barn. She thanked the drive and got out of the car. Did "A" trick her? Was this a trap? As she got closer to the barn she could hear a car idling. It was coming from inside the barn.

Alison pulled out the piece of wood jammed in the door and prayed the whole time she wasn't too late to save Em. When she finally pulled the huge barn door open she saw Emily lying just on the other side of the door. She used all her strength to pull Emily out.

She dragged Em a few feet from the barn and took off her jacket and laid it across her legs and pulled Emily's head in her lap. She waited for what felt like hours watching as Emily's chest rose and fell, she was still breathing thank God.

Emily slowly opened her eyes a look of uncertainty covering her beautiful features.

"It's okay. You're with me now." Alison tells her reassuringly.

"Alison?" She asks confusion swirling in her gorgeous chocolate eyes.

"It's so good to see you, Emily." Those eyes could melt Alison like no one else's ever could.

"I think I miss you the most." Emily stirs and she tries to sit up. She wants to be able to see Alison, look directly in her ocean blue eyes.

"Just rest." She stops Emily from getting up by gently putting her hand behind her head.

"It's what you need. Rest."

"I never told you this, but..." Alison decided it was now or never.

"You were always my favorite."

"Nobody loved me as much as you did." And if she wasn't such a coward maybe just maybe she could love Em back.

"Is this what dying is?" Emily looks at Alison with slight fear in her eyes.

"That bitch thinks this is what you really want- to be completely free of "A." Alison was going to make the bitch pay for this one way or another. No one messes with her Emily.

"Do you know who "A" is?"

"Of course I do." After her trip to the Lost Woods Resort awhile back she was pretty sure Mona was "A" or at the very least working for "A".

"You have to tell me."

"I don't think that's a good idea." If she tells her she could put her in more danger than she already has. She can't stand the thought of "A" finishing what they already started in the barn.

"Why?" Alison could see the uncertainty flash across Emily's stunning face.

"Because two can only keep a secret if one of them is dead." Alison hoped that Emily would catch what she was truly saying.

"You have to decide what you want, Emily."

"You can stay here... Or you can come with me". Alison knew she shouldn't ask Emily to come with her but she was hoping deep down that Emily would take her up on the offer.

Emily's eyes flutter shut

"Sweet Emily." Alison couldn't help herself she bends down and gentle kisses Emily's silky soft lips. She gentle lays Emily down on the ground and puts her jacket back on suddenly feeling small and cold. She hid in the brush until she saw the girls pulling up in Spencer's car. Leaving Emily there was one of the hardest things she's had to do in a long time but she knew she would be safe with the girls. She left part of herself there with Emily and she knew she wouldn't feel whole again till she could stay with her in Rosewood. But first she had to get things with "A" taken care of first. Once she knew Emily was safe she takes out her phone and shoots a quick text to Noel to come get her in the park about half a mile from the barn.

As she was coming around the corner of the park she saw the all too familiar site of Noel's car and he did not look happy at all.

"What the hell are you thinking Alison?" There was irritation laced with concern in his voice.

Before he could say anything else she lost it completely, "its Em, the bitch went after Em!" despair in her voice.

"Oh Ali, I'm sorry. Is she okay?" Concern etched Noel's face. He knew Alison deeply cared for Emily, even if she couldn't admit to any one even herself.

"I got there just barely in time." The memory of finding Emily unconscious, filling her with terror, what would she have done if she was too late? Stop it she thought to herself from now on she decided she would keep a better eye on the girls especially Em. From now on she has to come to Rosewood as often as she can without being caught, she couldn't risk losing Emily not when she was just starting to process her feelings for her.
