I open my eyes to see I am in a car and the car is moving. I'm in the passenger seat. "Where am I?" I feel something around my wrists and look down. Handcuffs. "What is this?" I finally look at the driver. "Mona?" What the hell was I doing in the car with her? "What the hell? You finally lost it Mona. Kidnapping? Oh my family's lawyer will a field day with you." I look out the window and gasp at the sight. We were downtown but it look like a battlefield. Buildings and cars were on fire, bodies everywhere. "Okay. This has to be a dream. No a nightmare." I smack myself in the face. "Wake up."

"Can't stomach what you done?" Mona says with a icy tone. "Can't look at what you had brought into the world?"

"What are you talking about?" I didn't do this.

"You." She points at me. "You did this. This was all you doing."

"Oh yeah. Because I burned those buildings and cars. I killed those people." I say with venom in my voice.

"No but you brought the thing that did this into our world. You did this." Mona says deadpan.

"Yeah. How? Huh? How did I do this...loser Mona?" I sneer at her. She slam her brakes and we come to a stop. I see a look in her eye I never seen before and suddenly she reaches out with a hand and slams me into the window, readying her other hand to punch me. I brace myself for a punch but nothing happens. I look into her eyes again and I see remorse, as if she feels bad about what she just did. She lets me go and starts driving again.

"Just shut the hell up Alison." She sneers at me without taking her eyes off the road.

I scoff. "Whatever." After that, the car was silent. As we drove through downtown, I more death and damages done to the city. I turn to Mona and study her face. Her face was stone but her eyes said everything. For whatever reason besides the reasons outside the car, she looks worried. She catches me looking but doesn't say anything. I notice another thing about her eyes. That screamed she was scared...for me. I turn away and stare out the window. "So what is this? Is this hell? Is this what I am fated to end up if I don't 'change my ways'?"

"No. This is Rosewood."

"What happened?"

"Like I said, you brought something into this world with the unwilling help of the girls."

Shit. The girls. "Where are the girls? Where's Emily?" My heart sinks a bit as I think that Emily, my beautiful mermaid, was trapped in this hell.

"The girls are fine. They are with love ones."

I sigh with relief. I may treat the girls like shit here and there but they was the closest thing I had to a true family. "Good. Glad to hear it."

"Whats that? Alison, queen bitch of Rosewood, showing some real emotions?"

"Fuck you Mona. Fucking loser." I huff out. "Why are we here anyway?"

"The thing you let out...it wants you." Mona says with no emotion in her voice.

"What?! What do you mean it wants me?!"

'It killed people on a live newscast. It asked for you. So I am doing it to end this all."

"I don't have a fucking say in this?!"

"No. You don't. I'm handing you over to end the madness that is A."

"What the fuck is an A? This is stupid. Who came up with this plan of handing me over to whatever did this?"

"My friend did. She thought this was the best way to go...although I try to talk her out of it."

"Well your friend is a dumb bitch for suggesting this plan in the first place." I mutter. Mona slams the brakes again and gets out the car. I watch her as she approach my side and swung the car door open, dragging me out by the shirt and slams me into the ground.

"My friend has sacrificed a lot, A LOT, for you to even be here. So kindly shut the fuck up about her!" Mona fires at me before roughly helping me up to my feet. "Hands." I give her my hands reaches into her pockets. The key to the cuffs was in her hand and she undo the cuffs, letting them hit the ground. I rub my wrists as she goes back into her car. My mind is telling my body to run while she is doing that but it won't respond. What the hell is that about? Mona returns with a shotgun strapped to her back and a handgun to her side. Oh shit. She is going to kill me. She also has a what I think is a sword in her hand, still in whatever is holding it. "Here." She holds out the sword for me to grab. Oddly my hands grab the sword and I just stare at it for a minute before looking at Mona. There was the look of worry in her eyes again.

"What is this?" I unsheathe the sword and study it. The blade itself is a crimson red with a black hilt. I look at the blade closer and can see something was etched into the blade itself. This blade had a weird aura about it.

"Eien no yami."

"What is that? Japanese? What does it mean?"

"Doesn't matter. Let's go." Mona pushes me to move.

"Alright alright. I'm going." I start to walk with Mona close behind. "I'm surprised you gave me a weapon." I say, trying to make conversation.

"Shut up Alison and keep your eyes and ears open." Mona spits back at me. I was about to say something when we hear a noise. She grabs me and pulls me behind a car. She points her gun, looking around to see the source of the noise and I peek around the car. My eyes widen as I see three things moving around in a weird motion, as if they was floating. They had only one eye and had a dark brown/black tint to them. From I can see, they also had claws. Mona quickly ducks back down. "Shit. I never seen those before."

"What the hell are they? They don't look human."

"I don't know. I just said I never seen them before in my life." Mona peeks over the car again and points her gun. "When I shoot, run."

"What? Where?"

"To the center of the city. It's waiting for you there."

"You want me to run past whatever the hell those things are?"

"Yes!" Mona barks at me and that gets the attention of those things. "Shit! Cover's blown. Move!" She starts to fire the handgun at the things. They gracefully move around her shots, getting close to use. When she runs out of bullets, she switches over to her shotgun. One of the things get close to me but is blown back by Mona. "Move!" I get and start running. "Shit!" I hear Mona scream out as she slammed against the car. The blade in my hand starts to shake.

"Use it Alison. We have to help Mona." What was that? A voice in my head? "Draw the blade now!"

"Okay...voice in my head." I take out the blade and run over to where Mona is. The things turn its attention to me as I rush over. With one horizontal swipe, I cut one of them in half. The last one rushes me but I quickly dodge to the left of it, hitting a forward roll and pointing the blade at it. I taunt it, causing to rush me again and slice its arm off. It howls in pain and I slice it in half this time. The things disappear into a green mist and the mist heads to the center of downtown. "Holy shit! I didn't know I can do that!"

"You can't." Mona says, effectively ending my glee. "Come on, we still need to get to the middle of town. Be on guard."

"Umm, you're welcome?!" I spat at Mona as she brushes my shoulder to get by. "Bitch." I mutter to myself as I follow her to the center of the city.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So why you Mona? Why are you leading me to whatever this thing is?" I say to make talk. Walking in silence was a bit unnerving for me.

"Thought I told you to be quiet." Mona says deadpan.

"Come on. I just want to know how you was chosen over a ton of people that hated me." She stops and looks at me. "Yeah I know I wasn't popular in that sense. So, why you?"

"I drew the winning ticket." She says with no humor in her voice but then she mutters something under her breath and keeps walking.

"What was that?" I ask as I catch up with her and put a hand on her shoulder. "What did you say?" I know what she said but I want to hear her say it out loud.

"I didn't say anything. Let's keep moving. We are almost there." Mona brushes me off and keeps walking. I watch her walk away, what she said playing over in my head. What did she mean by she couldn't let Hanna be the one to lead her here? I shake it off and catch up again to her. As we walk further downtown, the damage to the area gets more brutal. There were bodies everywhere. People were ripped to shreds, some bodies were pulled apart, there were even dead children around. I wanted to throw up. This was beyond fucked up. As we get closer, the air changes. Its heavier and the vibe is bad. I felt this before. It was like the night I...no...can't be. "We must be getting close." Mona says, knocking me out my own thoughts. We move a bit further and we see it. A green crack of sorts floating within the air. Green mist and light was coming from it. The air had a hostile vibe to it. "Holy shit…" Mona says with her mouth hanging up.

"Oh my God. It's like that night…" I remember now. I opened something bad that night. I tricked the girls into thinking it was harmless but to be fair...at the time I thought it was. That story my grandmother told me about how my family was huge in some land called The Tevinter Imperium made me laugh but it made me curious. Well curiosity may have just killed the cat or the whole town of Rosewood. I drop to my knees and look at it. "Mona. Tell me. What did this?"

Before Mona could answer, the things we saw from earlier appear out of nowhere, surrounding us on all sides. I ready the sword as Mona aims her shotgun but something is weird. They aren't attacking us like before. They are simply watching. I look over to Mona and she looks just as confused as I am. We hear footsteps and point our weapons to that direction. A figure appears, wearing a black hoodie. "I believe I can answer your question." The figure spoke and I can hear Mona breath hitch. The voice was familiar to me.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" I yell at the hooded figure. The figure slowly pulls down their hoodie and it was my turn for my breath to hitch. I knew the figure. Bethany Young, my hidden stepsister. Her face was just as I remember. Pale with a beautiful complexion, blue eyes and blonde curly hair. She was holding something with her right hand. Look like a black ball of smoke of sorts.

"Impossible!" Mona yells at Bethany. "We saw you! You were…"

"Under complete control?" Bethany smirks. "No my dear. Like I told Paige and that annoying fly, I can control it. I learned from your mistakes."

Mona shakes her head. "What the hell do you mean by that?" She thinks for a second. "Wait...my journals from the time I was in…"

"Exactly. They were...educational. It took me months but I mastered how to control it."

Mona waves off that comment with dramatic flare. "Bullshit! You can't control it. You can't control an entity."

Bethany laughs and there is something evil about it. "True you can't control an entity but you can control something else…"

I look over to at Mona and she is inside her own head, her brows arched as she thinks. "No…" She shakes her head. "It's an entity. It can't be…"

Bethany puts her hand up to stop Mona from talking. "But it is. You been wrong. She was wrong. My dear...you aren't fighting an entity. You been chasing a demon." Bethany uses the hand that as the weird ball in it and places it inside her. She roars out and light blinds us. When I open my eyes, I am lost for words. Bethany was gone and in her place a huge beast with purple skin that looked rough and devilish green eyes.

"Bethany! What have you done?!" I scream at the beast.

"What I have done?" The voice was monstrous, no hint of Bethany's voice. "This was your doing. You brought this demon here. I simply used it to my advantage."

"But why?!" I take a step forward towards whatever Bethany has become.

"Because you destroyed my home! You ruined my family!" She slams her fist into the ground, causing me and Mona to lose our balance. She moves over to me, snarling at me.

"I ruined your family?! You are kidding right?!" I spat back and laughed.

"Alison?! What are the fuck are you doing?!" Mona yells at me. I look at her and smirk before turning my attention back to Bethany.

"How fucking pathetic. Your father couldn't even tell you the truth. I guess I don't blame him when he was the one in the wrong!"

"Shut up!" Bethany roars into my face then she holds her head.

"He never told you how you came to exist did he? He never told you why I was your stepsister or why my mother couldn't even look at you? Huh?!" I was on a venomous roll. "You are product of a night of horror for my mother. She couldn't get rid of you. It was against her religious upbringing."

"No! That's not what happened! My father…"

I cut her off. "Was a rapist. My mother finally broke down one night and told me everything. In turn, I broke down and told the cops."

"No! He wouldn't!" Bethany howls, holding her head. Something was going on. I can sense that Bethany was losing control of whatever this thing was. "Lair!" I see her fist coming towards me so I use the blade to absorb most of the blow but she still sends me flying backwards and my back and head hits a car. I touch the back of my head to check for blood and yup there was some. Mona rushes over to me side and lifts me up. We see Bethany was losing it. Suddenly, electricity shoots from Bethany's fists and it seems to form whips. "I will fucking kill you both!" She brings up the whips and hurls it at us. We dodge the attack in time to see her cut the car in half.

"Tell me you got a plan…" I say to Mona as we get up and ready ourselves for another attack.

"I do not…" Mona says looking around. Those things were coming towards us. As they got closer, Mona blows one back with her shotgun. "There are too many for us to take on!" She says as she blows another one back.

"No shit!" I yell back, slicing three of them in half. I look over to Bethany and she is picking up a car. "Watch out!" I dive on Mona as I see the car fly over our heads.

"Thanks." She mutters as we hear the charge of the whips. "Move!" We roll in different directions as the whips come down, cracking the earth. "We can't win like this! We have no choice! We have to kill Bethany!"

I nod and try to stand up but quickly drop to one knee. I cover my cough with my hand and when I pull it back, blood was covering it. "Mona...I don't feel so good…"

Mona's eyes widen at the sight of me. "Shit shit shit!" She rushes over to me and pulls me up. "We gotta end this soon."

"We're outnumbered." I cough out, more blood hitting the ground.

"Stop talking Sam! We need to get you out of here." Mona says panicking, looking for an exit.

"Why did you just call me Sam? Who's that? And no…" I push her off. "This is my mess." I raise the blade to Bethany. "I gotta fix this." Suddenly I feel a rush of energy hit my body. "I gotta end this." I run full speed at Bethany and she does the same. As I get closer to her I hear a car horn blaring and bam! Bethany gets blind sided by a SUV. I know that SUV. Bodies come flying out the SUV with guns, shooting the things that had us outnumbered before. I'm pull to the side by someone...its her...my beautiful mermaid.

"You alright?" Emily asks me, checking me.

"I'm fine…" I barely get out. "Why are you here?"

"We came to help. By the look of it you guys needed it." We peek out from our hiding spot to see Bethany has moved Spencer's SUV off her and smashes it with a double fist pound into the ground. Spencer, Hanna and Paige are taking shots at her. Bethany covers her face and uses the whips to attack them. Spencer and Hanna are going to be hit but Paige catches the whip with her body and is flung into a window display. "Paige!" Emily calls out.

"Go to her!" I tell Emily. She doesn't want to move so I had to yell more. "Emily! Go! Now!" She stares at me for a second but runs over to where Paige is. With the strength I had left in my body, I pick up my sword and rushes toward Bethany. I hear gunshots ring out as Mona, Hanna and Spencer are giving me cover fire. Even Emily is giving me some form of cover fire from where Paige is lying. With Bethany shielding her face from the bullets, I run at her full speed and lunge the blade as hard as I can into her heart. She howls out as I drive my feet, pushing the blade further into her. Bethany is about to strike back when I see a body tackle her upper section. It's Paige. She tackles her with enough force to make Bethany stumble. When this happens, Emily follows up and Bethany falls on her back. Suddenly Hanna and Mona dive on the right arm and Spencer and Emily dive on the left arm. I take the blade out of her and repeatedly stab at her heart, causing her to howl out in pain. She looks like she is nearly defeated but won't go down, suddenly I hear a warrior's yell and Aria comes crashing down with her blade into Bethany's forehead. The blade goes straight through and Aria turns the blade while it's still inside. Bethany's body starts to go limp, all fight leaving it, all fight leaving her eyes.

"You...you haven't…this isn't the end...you all will die...he comes for you all…" Bethany says before closing her eyes for good and her body disappears into the green mist. When that happens, the rift starts to grow unstable and it crumbles into itself, disappearing for good. All the horrors that came with it are gone as well.

"We...did...it…" I collapse on the ground. The girls rush over to my side. Mona takes the blade out my hand.

"You pushed yourself too hard. I told you this was a bad plan." Mona says with worried throughout her tone.

"We won didn't we?" I chuckle then I look at all the girls. "Girls...my friends...my family." My vision becomes blurry as I wipe the tears away from my eyes. "Spencer...always be the sister I wanted." Spencer nods, holding back tears. I turn to Aria. "Aria...always be that girl that is different." Aria nods as tears fall down her face. I turn to Emily. "Emily...always stay beautiful." Emily sobs into Paige's shoulder. "And Paige...always take care of my beautiful mermaid." Paige nods slowly. I turn to Mona. "Mona...me and you weren't so different...maybe if…" She holds out her hand and nods. Finally I turn to Hanna, who looks like she been through hell. "Hanna...always love her because she loves you." Hanna nods as tears flow down her face. I look to the ground and close my eyes. "Thank you Samantha...for giving me the chance to correct my sins and say goodbye to the girls…"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I feel the mask crack and fall to the ground in pieces. "You are welcome Alison…" I barely whisper before falling forward. I feel arms hold me in place. Someone is stroking my hair and face.

"Welcome back to the world Sam." Hanna greets me as I close my eyes and let darkness overtake me.
