Emily PoV

After Aria died everyone I once knew seemed to dissapear from Rosewood. Hannah went to New York, Spencer went to Europe to study law, and become an accountant, although after getting her degree she decided to stay in London for a while, as she thought it was an amazing experience she didn't want to end. I personally think Spence just got so depressed here after both Aria and Alison, she just needed to get away. I would too, but I was completely broke after my car accident, and paying for my hospital bills. I think Hanna has a girl now- Ariana (In honour of Aria) but cut off all connections with us, trying to forget her past. Aria gone has affected her the most I think. The police found Aria's car on the way to Philly. They think Aria was pregnant, because there were 3 positive pregnancy tests wrapped up in a paper towel in her side compartment and Hanna later admitted to keeping it a secret for the father's safety, although refusing to say who the father was, that was just before Han left for New York to become a fashion designer. Apparently Aria's tyre burst and as she got out the car to check it she was raped and then murdered. Many times I have wondered about how horrible it must have been to go that way.

After getting over Aria, I managed to get a teaching job at rosewood elementary in the day, and in the evening I help out at the local Girl Scout group, trying to help other young girls through bullying and stress.

"Hey Em," Callie called my name, she was the leader of the Girl Scout group, "Tomorrow would you mind taking Jess and Frankie out to sell their cookies? Around 4?"

"Yes, sure," I smiled at the two girls, "I would love to!"

According to Callie I was most of the girls favourite leader because I loved kids, but specifically Frankie's as I was her younger brother's teacher.

The next day

It was 5:30, and me and the girls were nearly out of cookies.

"Good job today girls! I think we have raised more than enough money for some new colouring pens!"

Both girls giggled and Jess shook the pot of money.

"Can we just do one more house Miss Fields!" Frankie pleaded, she loved selling her cookies.

"Ok, just one more!"

Frankie pointed at a dirty looking house with steps leading up to the door. It had a small rectangular basement window at ground level and a rotting, ancient roof.

"Are you sure there's anyone living there? It looks quite abandoned." I said noticing the peeling paint and dirty windows.

"Let's just ring the doorbell and see!"

Sure enough Frankie rang the doorbell and a man who looked just younger than 40 answered. He had dark hair that was just turning grey and a misty tint to his blue eyes.

"Excuse me, would you like to buy a cookie sir, we're selling them for charity?" Frankie asks sweetly.

"I would never have any kids if I were you, they cost so much money, and don't even appreciate it." He said to me before slamming his door shut again.

As we walked down steps I asked the two girls, "Maybe we should try a different house inst..."

"Miss Fields look!"

Frankie pointed to the small basement window, where a little boy stood. He was scarily skinny and was as pale as a ghost and was also pointing at us and banging at the window. Then an equally scarely skinny woman joined him in the small rectanglular window before picking him up and eventually looking at us. That was when she had the most shocked expression on her bruised, cut face. I recognised her, it was Aria.

"Oh my god!" I said to myself before taking out my phone and dialling 911.

Aria PoV

I heard the doorbell ring and Wayne went up to go and get it, telling us to stay silent, because if we didn't he would murder us all before the police could even arrive. I thought it was weird that Wayne had a visitor because he never does, he deliberately made the house look abandoned, so he tells me, so no one comes knocking on the door, although I've never seen the house from the outside, or any other room barring this basement, a tiny corridor and the dreaded room Wayne takes me to along that corridor.

After a couple minutes of silence, I suddenly see Eric climbed on top of the few cardboard boxes he stacked ontop of each other in order for him to look out the only window in the basement. Eric was now peering out of and banging on excitedly said small, dirty rectanglular window.

"Mommy, look there are other children and a woman outside!!!"

I put my finger on my lips, telling him to keep his voice down as I go over to him and pick him up.

I then look out the window.

"Emily!!" I gasp.

Dun, dun, dun, Aria has been discovered! What will everyone do? How will they react to her 4 kids and unborn child, will Aria tell them about Ali...

I didn't own either Aria or Emily in this chapter.
