It was the next day and Kara sighed as she walked through Rosewood's graveyard. She had been debating all day whether to go to Ian's funeral or not, but in the end she realised getting angry at a dead man was not going to help her. However, she knew her friends would be there and wanted to apologize, after all she had been kind of out of line this morning. She was still trying to figure out where she knew her English teacher from, and decided that she would ask how long he had been living in Rosewood next lesson. It was now after the funeral service and most of the mourners seemed to have left. As she was nearing Ian's grave, she spotted a man sitting on a bench nearby and quickly recognized it to be Jason.
"Hey" She said, walking up to him.
"Oh, hey Kara" Jason replied, startled from his thoughts.
"Did you go to the funeral?" Kara asked him.
"No, just stayed on the outskirts" Jason told her.
"Have you come to spit on Ian's grave, then?" Jason inquired, a few moments later.
"Nah, I think even my spit is too good for him" Kara exclaimed.
"Probably right…I, uh need to be getting off" Jason stated, standing up.
"Oh no you don't. You sit back down Jason Dilaurentis, we've got things to talk about" Kara said, grabbing his arm.
"Please tell me this conversation isn't going to involve feelings" Jason whined, sitting back down.
"It'll involve plenty of feelings. Now are you going to tell me why you keep running off?" Kara questioned.
"I don't!" Jason exclaimed.
"Jason c'mon, tell me what's wrong" Kara insisted.
"I…I kind of went off the rails again…" Jason trailed off.
"After Ali died?" Kara asked.
"No…after you left" Jason admitted.
"Oh..." Kara trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"It was worse than before. Hell, I can hardly remember anything that happened before Ali died…but after she did, I guess I could see more clearly, see what I was doing. I went into rehab, got off the drink" He told her.
"I told you, you'd come good in the end" She smiled.
"Only after it was too late" Jason said, hanging his head.
"What do you mean?" Kara questioned.
"She was my little sister I-I was supposed to protect her. I was even friends with Ian!" Jason exclaimed, angry at himself.
"Jason it's not your fault, it's not like any of us could stop Ali doing what she wanted to do" Kara explained.
"I should have tried…I guess that's why my parents can't even look at me anymore…they know they lost the wrong kid" Jason mumbled, tears in his eyes.
"Don't say that. Your life is just as important as Ali's, just as important as anyone's" Kara insisted.
"Right…" Jason said, obviously not believing her.
"You know what Ali would say if she were here. Stop being such a wimp and suck it up" Kara told him.
"Of course added with her trademark smirk" Jason added.
"How could I forget" Kara laughed.
It was later that day, and after saying goodbye to Jason, Kara had wandered off to Aria's house seeing as it was the closest. It was stupid that they weren't talking, if anything today had shown just how important the time they had was. Knocking on the door, a boy came to the door, around the same age as her, and after a few seconds she recognized it to be Aria's younger brother Mike.
"Is Aria in?" She questioned.
"No she went out a few minutes ago…who are you?" Mike questioned.
"I'm Kara…you know I used to be friends with Aria a couple of years ago" Kara explained.
"Woah…you really grew up, huh?" Mike said, looking her up and down, when he realised who she was.
"Yeah, it's almost as if two years have passed or something" Kara said sarcastically.
"Well, feel free to come round here anytime you like" Mike winked at her.
"Mike, I've got a bit of advice for you…" She trailed off, getting closer until she was only inches away from his face.
"Oh, what's that?" Mike smirked.
"…When trying to chat up a girl, try not to do it when you have food running down your chin" Kara laughed, as he looked in the window and found that she was right, and was now blushing furiously.
"It was nice seeing you" She said, patting him on the shoulder as she walked away, still laughing.
Shaking her head, she started to walk back to the hotel she was staying in. She walked past the graveyard as she walked, and was surprised when she spotted Emily's car just outside. What would Emily be doing in a graveyard this late? Worried, Kara quickly rushed through the graveyard, and soon spotted not only Emily, but her other three friends too. She was about to call out to them when a bright light suddenly appeared on one of the memorials and a loud laugh boomed out of the speaker nearby and a video started to be projected onto it. She gasped when Alison's figure appeared.
"I know you want to kiss me" Alison giggled as whoever was recording her walked closer.
Smirking, Alison then picked up the camera and spun it around to show that it was Ian who was recording her.
"Come closer" He said, and then suddenly the camera dropped to the ground, Alison's hand the only thing in the frame.
A moment later, laughing Alison picked up the camera, faking being hurt. Kara shakily, put her hand to her mouth when she realised what this meant…Ian didn't kill Alison.
"Thanks for meeting me" Alison said, as Ian stepped forward and kissed her.
Then suddenly the video stopped and all that could be heard was her friend's heavy breathing.
"What the hell is going on?" Kara yelled, stepping out of the darkness.
"Oh God, this is going to be hard to explain" Spencer sighed.
A few moments later and the girls were looking for the projector while they filled Kara in.
"Look I understand what the video meant, but who was projecting it?" Kara inquired.
"We don't know" Emily admitted.
"What do you mean?" Kara questioned.
"Guys, we have to tell her, she's in too deep now" Hanna insisted.
"We've been getting text messages from this person for ages now, they've been terrorising us" Spencer explained.
"And we have no idea who they are. All they put at the end of the messages is A" Aria told her.
"Wait, what did you say?" Kara asked, coming to a halt.
"What's wrong?" Emily asked, as Kara pulled her phone out.
"You know how I said that the article about Ian's death and Ali's murder just popped out of nowhere…I lied. I got this email and attachment on Alison's murder from someone saying that they thought I should know about this and look who signed it" She explained, showing them the email.
"I think you will be interested to know what happened in Rosewood since you left –A" Aria said, reading the message out loud.
"Oh my God…but that means that A loured you here!" Spencer exclaimed.
"I guess just playing with the four of us wasn't enough…A wants all of Ali's old best friends" Emily realised.
"Awesome" Kara said, sighing loudly.
