AN: Hello! How are you all? I don't really have that much to say other than to enjoy and to review. I get so happy when I see a new notification. Even if it is only one sentence, I still get very excited.

No new followers and favoriters.

But…. I got a review from a guest saying that my story was their favorite fanfiction they have ever read and that I am an amazing writer.

Thank you so much that made my day! I wasn't going to update today but this review made me happy so I decided I would update today.

I really wish you guys would leave your names so I could shout you out; you all make me sooooo happy!

P.s This chapter takes place on the same night as the last chapter ended.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pll.

Kara didn't know what to do.

Right now was the first time in a while that Kara and her friends were generally happy. Kara could assume Zoe was, even though she had puked and was asleep, but she had a smile on her sleeping face so Kara took this as her being happy.

Kara was debating if she should tell her friends what Mrs. Cavanaugh had said to Kara when they were in the hospital.

Kara thought back to what Spencer had said:

"The game started out as one girl threatening us through texts. They pretended to be Alison, long story short, Alison was missing for many years and we all thought she was dead, but she was actually hiding from our stalker. We all kinda brushed it off, but then the attacks got serious, and we eventually found the girl. Mona Vanderwaal. After she was sent to Radley, we thought the attacks would stop. But somebody else took the game. They attacked us for many more years, and they were a lot more violent than Mona. After being freaking kidnapped we figured out who it was. It was Alison's transgender sister who wanted revenge on us."

She had to tell her friends, but she didn't want to ruin this moment.

But then again, Kara didn't know when they would all be together again.

Kara stared at her friends.

Anna was laughing at something Rose had said, and Rose had a smile on her face because of it. Kara didn't know what, she had tuned them out.

Now was not a good time.

There was never going to be a good time.

"He wanted to show me his parking tickets!" Rose was saying.

"Really? That's so-"

Kara interrupted Anna.

"-Guys I need to tell you something."

They stopped talking and looked at Kara.

"What?" Anna asked.

"I talked to your mom, Anna, and… and."

Kara looked around the room and her eyes rested on Zoe.

Zoe's moms had gone through the torture too; she had to be awake also.

"We have to wake up Zoe." Kara said, looking back to her friends.

"She just fell asleep, Kara. I think we should let her, she has been through so much." Rose said in Zoe's defense.

"Yea, well we four aren't the only ones who have been dealing with things. I don't want to have to say it twice so can we please just wake her up?" Kara said, angered.

Anna looked at Kara. She knew Kara so well, they were probably the closest, and Anna nodded her head. She could most likely see the worry in her face.

Anna nudged Zoe with her foot, quietly saying, "Zoe. Zoe, wake up."

After a few tries, Zoe awoke.

"What-"

"Zoe, I have to tell you all something."

Zoe sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Okay, what is it?"

Kara took a deep breath and explained to her friends,

"When Anna was in the hospital and everyone was gone, I was left alone with your mom, Anna. She was upset so I tried to comfort her, but I got some information. It turns out that… we aren't A's first targets."

The girls looked confused.

"What does that mean?" Zoe asked.

"It means that our parents were attacked by A too. They focused on our mom's the most and they went through the same stuff that we have gone through, but much worse. Mrs. Cavanaugh told me that they were kidnapped by A, and tortured. It even went as far as one of them faking their death to get away."

"Who? Who would lie like that?" Zoe asked, astonished.

"Your mom, Zoe. Alison."

You could see the light in Zoe's face drain.

"Oh, my god." Rose whispered. "They didn't tell us about this."

"I think that they didn't want us to know because it's a pretty big thing to grasp. They were also probably scared that it would happen to us." Kara said, trying to defend the parents.

"Is it the same A?" Anna asked.

Kara shook her head. "I don't think so." She looked at Rose.

"It started off as a game. It started off with your aunt, Rose. Mona was the original A. I don't know why, Mrs. Cavanaugh didn't say that, but they eventually caught her. Then somebody else took the game. Her name was Cece Drake. I had to find that out by myself. She was a transgender who was sent to Radley when she was young for trying to drown her sister."

Rose shook her head. "Kara, stop. Mona couldn't have tried to kill our parents. She wouldn't do that!"

"I did the research, Rose. Everything that Anna's mom told me was true."

Rose let out a breath of sharp air, her eyes began to water.

Kara looked at Zoe, about to tell her more bad news.

"Zoe, Cece was your aunt. She was Alison's sister, but Ali didn't know until the group found out she was A."

Zoe opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it when nothing came out.

"Zoe…" Kara said, grabbing her hand.

Zoe ripped her hand from Kara's.

"So now I have two missing family members! First, my dad and now, a long-lost crazy psychopath aunt who tried to kill all of our parents!"

"Zoe, calm down. This sucks but we can get through it. This information could help us find out who A is. They are most likely related to Cece or someone. Anyone who knew about the game."

Zoe shook her head, "Great. Another psycho relative that I don't know about."

"Should we tell our parents about A? They defeated theirs, maybe they could help us find ours." Anna said.

She had a point. But Kara was sure that involving their parents would put them in danger too. Kara didn't know about her friends, but she knew that she would not let her parents get hurt.

"I don't know. My brain hurts to much right now to think anymore." Rose said for all the girls.

Kara felt immense pain for all the girls. She had just dropped a bomb on them.

All of them looked like they had had a piece of their soul ripped from them.

Kara stood up. She figured that she would leave them all alone for a few minutes. They were all having mixed emotions towards Kara.

Kara went down the stairs and paced the kitchen. She started to get a massive headache.

Kara opened up the door and stepped outside. She needed some fresh air.

Kara stood on Anna's porch, staring at nothing in particular, when she heard something bang of in the distance.

It sounded like a trash can being knocked over.

Kara drew her attention over to the trash can and tried to see what was over there.

Then she saw it.

A person in all black.

Kara had never seen A before, but at the sight of this figure, all the hairs on Kara's neck stood up.

The figure stood there. Kara didn't know what to do. Should she go get her friends? Should she just leave it alone?

Kara decided on getting her friends.

Kara turned around, but was quickly stopped. Another hooded figure was behind Kara.

There were two!

As Kara was about to scream, a black bag was placed over her head.

Anna sat on her bed with her friends. She was still taking in all the information Kara had just told her.

All the girl's parents had defeated A. They were all survivors!

It was really silent, which was weird. Where was Kara?

"Where's Kara?" Anna asked.

The girls looked around.

"I don't know, maybe she went to the bathroom or something." Rose said after making a quick scan across the room.

Anna noticed a light come from her window. Kara must have been outside.

Anna stood up and walked over to her window. She peeped through the blinds and saw no Kara, but a car in her driveway.

"Guys, I think someone is here." Anna said, walking over to her friends.

"It is your parents?" Zoe asked, concerned.

"No, it's not their car."

Just then, Anna's phone buzzed.

Anna tensed up. Who would be texting her at 12:43 at night?

Anna hoped it wasn't A. Then Anna remembered the text the group had gotten earlier that night.

Anna looked down at her phone:

Knock-knock.

-A

Then, there was a knock at the door.

Anna tensed up and dropped her phone.

"Anna? What's wrong? Who's at the door? " Rose said, standing up when she heard the phone drop.

Anna let out a shaky breath.

"A."

"What? Oh my god, where is Kara?" Zoe said, as she ran to the bathroom, and quickly ran back.

"She isn't in the bathroom."

"Where is she?'" Rose said, putting her hands on her head.

"KARA!" Zoe called out.

"Zoe, be quite, A could be outside." Anna whispered.

It was silent.

The girls all jumped at the sound of the doorbell.

"Maybe they will go away." Rose whispered.

Anna gave Rose a look that said, "Really? It's A."

Anna walked over to her closet and pulled out a bat.

"Why do you have a bat in your closet?" Zoe asked in amazement.

"I was drugged and sliced up by A, and you question why I have a bat."

Anna looked at her friends and nodded her head towards the stairs.

"We have to answer it." Anna said. "Quietly." She added.

Anna made her way down the stairs, with her friends close by.

Halfway down the stairs, Anna noticed the doorknob jiggling.

Anna stopped mid-step and she almost fell down the stairs.

She really didn't want to do this, but she had to.

A could have Kara.

Without saying a word, the girls came up with a plan. With a series of looks, the girls knew exactly what they were going to do.

Zoe would open the door, Rose would tackle A, and Anna would beat him with a bat.

Anna gripped her bat and gave a nod to Zoe, signaling for her to open the door.

It all went down so fast.

Zoe opened the door, and before it was fully open, Rose jumped on "A."

Anna ran up to the victim and held the bat above them.

"ANNA, STOP!"

She was a foot above his stomach when Anna stopped the bat.

"Dylan, what the hell?"

The girls backed away and let Dylan inside.

"I was driving by and saw that your light was on so I decided that I would check in."

Anna stared at Dylan with an intense look.

"I could have bashed your skull in, why didn't you text?" Anna said, dropping the bat.

"I didn't think of it, I was worried something was wrong since nobody was answering and I know that you can't leave the house."

"I'm sorry." He added.

Anna shook her head.

"You're such an idiot."

"I know." Dylan replied with a chuckle.

"Okay, I hate to ruin your moment, but did you see Kara anywhere?" Rose butted in.

Dylan shook his head. "No."

"Where is she?" Anna muttered, walking over to a window to look out.

She looked in her backyard.

Not much was there; only an old swing set and a shed. There was also many snakes that lived in Anna's backyard.

Anna remembered this one time that she wanted to get her bike from the shed when she was fourteen. Anna was about to pull her bike out when something caught her leg. She looked down to see an Eastern Milk snake wrapped around her leg. It wasn't venomous, but Anna still screamed. Her dad eventually heard her scream and ripped the snake from her leg. He ran out to the woods and dropped the snake out there. Ever since then, Anna rarely ever went out to the shed.

"We have to go find her." Zoe said from behind Anna.

"Do you want me to help?" Dylan asked.

Anna thought about this. Kara's disappearance most likely had something to do with A. If… no, when the group found Kara, they would have to do some serious explaining to Dylan. Did Anna want to risk that?

What was she thinking? Anna loved Kara. She knew exactly what Kara was going through and there was no way that Anna was going to leave her.

"Yeah, please." Anna said to Dylan.

"Should we start in the backyard?"

Anna nodded her head. She grabbed flashlights for everybody and grabbed her bat.

Anna made Dylan go first.

"Why, you have the bat?" He asked when Anna made him go.

"Because, you're the man." Was Anna's response.

Now outside, Anna kept her flashlight on the ground, watching out for snakes.

All the girls phoned vibrated for the second time tonight.

This is where the snakes like to hide; this is where a bitch will soon die.

-A

"A riddle?" Zoe asked, looking down at her phone.

"I suck at riddles." Rose added.

"A?" Dylan asked, looking over Anna's shoulder.

Anna didn't answer, she was too busy thinking.

Anna remember the snake incident when she was fourteen.

"The shed."

Anna flashed her flashlight to the shed and screamed.

At the door was A, locking the door.

Dylan didn't know what was going on.

"Hey!" He yelled at A. "Get away from there."

Dylan then ran over there and tackled A.

Dylan was hitting A over and over again.

Things quickly switched and A was on top of Dylan.

"DYLAN!" Anna yelled, running over to him.

A looked up at Anna. She raised her bat.

Rose and Zoe ran too and were now behind Anna.

"Get out of here asshole!" Rose yelled, flicking A off.

A gave one hard punch to Dylan and then got up and ran.

Anna knelt down next to Dylan with great concern.

He was bleeding.

"Dylan? Dylan are you okay?"

He looked up at Anna. "I'm fine, go get Kara."

Anna nodded and stood up.

Anna prayed that it wasn't locked. Anna grabbed the sheds handled and opened the doors. Good, they weren't locked.

Anna flashed her light into the shed.

What Anna saw was an absolute horror. Behind her, one of the other girls screamed.

Kara lay on the ground, tied up and gagged. She was crying, but her eyes widened when she saw her friends.

Around Kara were at least five snakes. Five rattlesnakes.

In case you all don't know, rattle snaked are poisonous.

Anna gripped her bat tight and stated swinging. She wasn't killing them, she just simply flung them aside. When they were all to the left of the shed Anna yelled,

"Zoe, untie Kara and get her inside the house. Rose, help Zoe and then get Dylan. I'll get the snakes."

The girls followed direction.

The snaked all lunged at Anna, but she didn't miss one. She kicked and swat and swung until she heard Zoe scream,

"Anna, were all inside!"

Anna gave one last swing and ran out the shed. She closed and locked the doors and ran until she was in the house.

Kara was sitting on the couch, dirty and scared.

"Where you bit?"

Kara shook her head. "No, you got here just in time."

Anna sighed a sigh of relief and ran up to Kara and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Kara! I'm sorry we left you alone." Anna cried into Kara's hair.

"Don't say that, I shouldn't have left." Kara said as she hugged back.

Slowly, all four girls were embracing each other.

Anna broke from the group when she heard her fridge open.

It was Dylan grabbing an ice pack for his face.

Anna had completely forgotten about him.

She ran over to Dylan and hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best!" Anna said to his chest.

Dylan hugged her back. "Anything for you and your friends."

Anna and Dylan stayed like this for a few minutes until Dylan asked the question.

"Whose A?"

Anna broke from him and looked at her friends.

They all nodded their heads.

"Sit down." Anna said, pointing to a couch.

For the next hour, even though they were all exhausted, all four girls explained to Dylan who A was.

"…and tonight, he kidnapped Kara and threw her in a shed full of snakes, and it is only going to get worse." Anna finished.

Dylan wasn't crying, but his eyes did water.

"I am so sorry. I had no idea, if I had known I would never have left your side since the park!" Dylan said, grabbing Anna's hand.

Anna squeezed Dylan's hand and looked him in the eyes.

"I know that that's true, but don't worry about us. I think we all proved to ourselves that we are strong against A. We defeated him and he didn't even leave a scratch on Kara." Anna smiled at the last sentence. All the girls did.

"Do you really want me to stay out of it?" He asked.

Anna nodded her head. "It's just one guy, we can handle it. Besides, if we need you to come save the day, I'll call you."

He smiled.

"Yea, about that…" Kara cut in.

They all looked at her.

"There are two of them."

AN: So there was a short little chapter for y'all. It is barley over 3,000 words.

Also, this chapter might have been small, but there was a lot of A clues. So read it over and see if you can catch them.

Also, please pray for the people of Paris, they were just attacked by ISIS.

Thanks, I love you all.

Please review.
