I am back! My computer was having issues and I recently got into an acappella group, which takes up some time, and I also joined Color Guard. It is summer, but I still have practices for these groups, but if I can find time I will post so that my series does not die. I had some chapters saved up, but of course, my damn computer screwed everything up and I lost them (MY ONLY DOCUMENT NOT BACKED UP!). Hopefully you enjoy this chapter, I may be a bit rusty, so forgive me :) Oh! Have you been keeping up with the new season of PLL? I just cant anymore with my heart, ugh! Anyway, here is this chapter.
Hanna woke up cuddled to Caleb's chest, the comforting smell filling her nostrils. Hanna's eyes remained closed, however, a large grin spread across her cheeks. Hanna heard giggling, and realized where they were, Spencer's house. Quickly she shot up, almost falling off of Caleb's lap. Caleb woke up then and grabbed her tighter just as she was about to slip off his knee. He kissed her forehead, still somewhat asleep. Aria stood up from the floor and walked to the coffee maker to pour them their cups. Hanna rubbed her eyes, the makeup from the night before staining the side of her hand. Standing up and meeting Aria halfway she grabbed the two coffees returning to Caleb and handing him the coffee. Spencer looked at her nervously and stood slowly from the couch,
How are you Hanna? Do you remember last night?
Caleb looked up anxiously. Hanna thought for a moment before shaking her head, narrowing her eyes at Caleb she wondered what he knew that she did not, or at least what she did not remember. Caleb stood, placing his coffee on the end table next to him. Carefully he placed his hands on either side of Hanna's face,
Babe...you saw your mom.
Hanna's eyes widened and searched frantically around the room,
Where is she? Caleb I need to se-
Caleb kissed her and quickly stepped back, unable to speak the rest to her face. He managed to mutter the words, as the other girls stood around Hanna,
Hanna, she was lying on the ground in...a-
Caleb could not continue steadily. He nodded for one of the girls to continue, Emily looked to Hanna and said,
In a pool of blood. You screamed and then you passed out.
Hanna stared at Emily, she could feel the tears filling her eyes. Caleb walked over slowly placing his arms around Hanna's waist. Hanna snuggled into his arms letting her tears spill out. Caleb kissed her hair and spoke softly,
She's fine Hanna. Your mom is ok.
Hanna pulled away and turned toward her friends. They nodded in agreement and Hanna spoke,
We need to figure this out fast. I can't have my child born into this. A will not terrorize my baby.
At that exact moment a knock was heard coming from the door. Hanna jumped, Spencer laughed,
It's just Toby, relax, everything is ok.
Hanna sat down and began to think about how A was still lurking, watching and waiting for the right moments to pounce. Spencer could be heard opening the door,
Toby! Why do you look like you just sat in a fire and started melting?
Toby smiled and leaned down to kiss Spencer.
It's extremely hot outside.
Spencer nodded as she stuck her head out the door and quickly pulled it back in and shut and locked the door tightly behind her. Toby walked forward nodded to them all. Hanna seemed to be in small daze. Caleb kissed her cheek. Hanna shivered and looked over to Toby,
Do you know something that I don't?
Toby turned toward Caleb silently asking if he could respond. Caleb nodded hesitantly. Toby scratched the back of his neck and looked toward Hanna, obviously choosing his words carefully. He opened his mouth to begin then shut it. He thought for a moment longer, Hanna anxiously waiting.
After you passed out Caleb frantically carried you to Spencer's, but everyone else stayed and called me. In the pool of blood-
Toby paused looking at Hanna for a response. He nodded and continued,
In the pool of blood there was a saturated piece of paper with what looked like "Train 4:00." At first that seems confusing, but it looked like it fell off of someone by accident, and we think it is a clue that A is picking someone up. We need to figure out if this is a trap or not though. We just hope something good will happen.
Hanna nodded, she tried to process everything and realize what this could mean. Then she thought of something,
What if that note was for someone who works for A? It could of been for this person to take my mom to the train and let her die on the train?
Toby and Caleb looked at each other and walked to the kitchen counter to discuss this theory. Hanna shrugged.
Is my mom awake?
Aria came over and touched her arm,
No, she's still unconscious, but they expect her to be awake really soon, ok?
Hanna nodded and touched her stomach and smiled speaking only to her baby even though the girls were right next to her,
I love you and I will protect you no matter what.
Aria smiled and sat down on the couch next to Emily. They sat silently for a moment. Everyone deep in thought. Caleb glanced back at Hanna just as she was about to close her eyes. He smiled and picked her up into his arms carrying her up to Spencer's room and laying the blankets over her and kissing her head. Closing the door behind him and heading back down the stairs. Spencer has ordered some pizza and was sitting next to Toby on the couch opposite Emily and Aria. They were discussing what to do about Hanna. They knew she was sensitive, especially with her hormones now that she was pregnant. Caleb sat down in a chair and listened to their ideas, not having anything to say.
Hanna woke up startled to a loud thud. Quickly she stood and stared at the black hooded figure. She remained silent, fearful of what could happen. The hooded figure moved slowly toward her, dragging their feet making a horrid sounding scraping. Hanna began to move backward.
Go away!
Hanna started to scream as the figure finally got to her and grabbed her into his arms. She kicked and squirmed, suddenly she woke up startled. It was just a dream. Caleb was carrying her downstairs where they could all keep a better eye on her. She snuggled in as Caleb kissed her. She fell asleep before they made it halfway down the stairs.
Hanna woke up to the sweet smell of eggs and coffee. Caleb's arms were around her and she was cuddled up against his chest. Aria and Emily were asleep too. Spencer and Toby sat at the counter eating and turned to face her as she slid away from Caleb and into the kitchen to eat.
Good morning Hanna.
Good morning Spence.
Hanna scooped some eggs onto a plate and poured a small cup of coffee adding some cream and sugar.
Anything knew about A? How about those addresses?
Spencer nodded,
Those addresses are old factories and old apartment buildings. All are abandoned and broken down.
Toby turned away from the laptop,
The perfect place for a secret A operation.
Hanna smiled and pulled over another bar stool next to Spencer and sat down looking over toward the laptop. The buildings were s[read across the screen in separate windows. They looked so old and as if no one had been in their for years, however, you could not underestimate A. Toby clicked on a link underneath one of the old factories. Spencer and Hanna gasped loudly, waking up everyone still sleeping. A was not even close to being done.
I'm pretty proud of this chapter. I think it came out decent. I hope you enjoy the small cliffhanger! Tell me in the comments if I should make a one-shot about a makeup scene between Hanna and Caleb now that hes back on the show? Anyway love you all!
