Chapter 10: Secrets Don't Stay Buried For Long
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." –Matthew 16:24
Courtney paced around the tiny cell she was put in. Her cell phone was in her hand (no, they hadn't taken it away) and she was logged in to the internet. She had tried to text her old friends, but they either weren't answering or didn't care about her anymore. She even tried her old roommate at one of the mental hospitals, Lynn Hartland, but after the stunt she pulled two months ago, she obviously wasn't going to answer.
Courtney heard footsteps in the hallway. She quickly shoved her phone in her pocket and faced the heavy iron door. It swung open and revealed Alison standing in the doorway. She didn't say anything for a long few moments.
"Why are you here?" Courtney snapped. "Can't you just leave me alone? You've done enough damage already."
"Not quite," Alison replied with a devious smile. "As long as you're alive you're still a liability to me. You could snatch my life back at any second and I can't have that happen." Courtney stared at her sister. And her family thought she was the crazy one.
But then again… maybe she was. She did kill her own brother. She didn't remember much about that night though, because she wanted to forget as much of it as possible. All she remembered was walking through the woods… she must have fallen asleep on her way back (it was pretty late) and woke up with the weapon still in her hands. The rest she forced herself to erase.
"Ali, you've already won the game. There's nothing else to it," Courtney responded. Alison shook her head.
"The game isn't over until the crazy twin dies." Alison took a step closer. Courtney saw a way out, but she'd have to make it around her sister first. She'd have to be quick.
Alison lunged forward, but Courtney dodged her. Ali landed hard on the concrete floor, which gave Courtney the chance to run out the door and down the hallway. She memorized the way up here, in case she had a chance of escape. She turned right down the hallway and ran down a set of stairs. She made her way into the main lair area and ran toward the hallway that she, Kim, and Ron had snuck in the day before. Quickly locating the front door, she ran down toward the main road and turned toward the sign that read "Middleton: 5 miles." By this time, she was sure Ali would have gotten up and alerted Spencer and the others. There was no stopping until she reached her destination.
Pulling out her cell phone, she logged back on to the internet and brought up a website. She began to type an email.
i kno u prob. hate me n want nuthin to do with me n i kno i should have told u b4 bout wut i did 2 jason, but i need help. please.
She pressed SEND. A little message popped up on the screen of her phone: Team Possible will respond as soon as possible.
She only hoped they wouldn't be too late.

Aria, Emily, and Hanna stepped off the train at the Middleton station. The eight hour train ride had been long and uncomfortable, in more ways than one. They could only afford the cheapest tickets, which bought them seats in the smallest car. And all they could think about was if Alison and Spencer were okay.
They stepped out of the station and into the city. It was getting dark out, and they weren't sure where they were going to stay.
"It looks like a nice night out. Why don't we camp out? I think there's a park nearby," Emily suggested.
"Good idea, Em. I don't think we'd be able to afford a motel room," Aria agreed. Hanna didn't say anything. Truthfully, she wasn't that crazy about being here in the first place. What if Ali and Spencer were in danger? She was not in a shape to be having to run away for miles. But she followed Aria and Emily anyway.
They found the park relatively quickly. By this time, it was almost pitch black. They found a nice spot near a small, man-made lake. Sitting down, they each checked their cell phones for messages.
And they each had at least four texts from Alison (aka Courtney).
Guys, I need help.
I've been kidnapped and don't know how to get out of it.
I haven't been completely honest with you, and I promise as soon as I see you I'll tell you the truth.
Please get help ASAP.
Each of them was thinking the same thing: their worst thoughts had come true.
"Guys, how are we gonna help her? We have no idea where she is!" Aria exclaimed.
"I don't know. How did this even happen in the first place? And where's Spencer?" Hanna replied.
"If Ali was kidnapped, Spencer must have been, too" Emily said. They heard a scream coming from somewhere nearby.
It sounded like Alison.
The scream came from their left. They ran toward the foot bridge that suspended over the small creek that ran out of the lake. What they saw surprised them. Spencer was there, as well as a woman they didn't know. But there was also something else.
There were two Alisons.

Kim and Ron sat on the couch in the Possible's living room. Kim's Kimmunicator beeped and she answered it.
"What's up Wade? Got the info I asked for?" Kim asked.
"Yeah and… something else," Wade answered.
"What?" Kim asked suspiciously.
"You got a hit on the site."
"Why is that unusual?"
"It's from Courtney." There was silence.
"She seriously has the guts to ask us for help? You've got to be kidding me," Kim said, irritated.
"You might not want to be so quick to judge. During my search, I found something out that you will be very interested in," Wade replied.
"Spill."
"I did the check on the DiLaurentis family like you asked. For a snobby rich-kid town, this place is full of crackpots. First of all, Alison and Courtney's father is also Spencer's father. Jessica DiLaurentis cheated on her husband around thirteen years ago. Second, their brother Jason had been doing alcohol and drugs for a number of years," Wade explained.
"Pretty messed up family," Ron commented.
"That's not even the start of it," Wade replied. "I did some checking, and the night that Jason was murdered was also the night Courtney went to a sleepover, and a night that Alison was home from the mental hospitals. So I hacked into the global satellite's feed and zoomed in on Rosewood, Pennsylvania. Courtney had gone out into the woods, near the site where Jason was found dead. But Alison and Spencer were in the woods that night, too."
"So they had a meeting of the crazy girl club?" Ron asked.
"Not quite," Wade answered. "The fourth person in the woods around the same time was Jason. And you can guess how that ended."
"Yeah, Courtney killed him," Kim said, a touch of anger in her voice.
"That's what they wanted her to think. Courtney was in the same spot for over an hour. She looked like she was knocked out. Now watch this video closely." Wade disappeared and the screen showed a blurry video. One minute, Courtney was walking. Then something hit her from above and she was on the ground. Thirty seconds later, Alison showed up and placed something in Courtney's hand. Spencer dragged something near her: Jason. The two quickly ran away in the same direction. Wade zoomed in on the video. In Courtney's hand was a bloody knife. The video stopped and Wade appeared on the screen.
"This is so wrong," Kim said. "What have we done?" Ron, who hadn't been able to see the entire video, looked confused.
"So does this mean that Spencer has a twin and Alison has a triplet?" he asked, scratching the top of his head. Kim slowly shook her head.
"No, Ron," she began. "It means Courtney didn't kill Jason."
