"Wow! You really broke her heart didn't you? Listen to this. 'Do what you want. I don't care anymore.' Bravo Alison!" Bethany applauds sarcastically. She stops applauding when Big A walks in the room. Alison trembles in fear, knowing that she was about to be in pain again. She replays Emily's reply back over in her mind. Do what you want. I don't care anymore. Alison knew she led Emily to let go, but the shock of Emily's reaction still hit Alison hard. In that moment, Alison realised that Emily was truly gone and she had nothing left to live for. Emily was the tether that kept Alison fighting and breathing. In that moment where she heard the hate and anger in Emily's response, that was the moment that the tether was cut. Alison had finally given up and just wanted A to finish her off. Big A moves over to her, wearing the usual A attire and mask, all black. Alison knew it was Big A because Bethany called him 'Sir'. The voice spoke, grabbing Alison's face by her cheeks and pulling her close. "You just gave up didn't you?" The voice speaks. Alison looks up at her torturer with her one good eye. She nods slightly. Big A laughs before knocking Alison out.

"Em, what the hell is happening to you? I know you're upset about Alison and we are trying to find her but that doesn't mean you can go and give someone a black eye!" Hanna remarks sourly. Emily slams her locker door shut and puts on her jacket. "I don't care about Alison anymore. She left, she asked me to let go and that is what I'm doing." Emily replies calmly, grabbing her helmet and walking away. "Where are you going? We have three periods left and you only got a detention!" Hanna yells out behind Emily. Emily spins around and walks backwards toward the front door. "As I said, I don't care, laters." Emily yells back. Hanna watches as Emily leaves. A minute later, the roar of the motorbike is brought to life as Emily takes off. Hanna grabs out her phone and texts Spencer and Aria. 'Code Black, Emily's gone rogue. We need to find Ali asap.' She hits send. Hanna immediately gets a response from Spencer. 'Already ahead of you, I found another lead. Meet me in the library.' Hanna texts Aria to head to the library on her way to meet Spencer.

Emily walks into her house and places the keys to the motorbike on the hall table. She heads upstairs to her room and lies on her bed. Her ribs and knee ache as she reaches for her medication. She reads the prescription on the front. TAKE 2 TABLETS, 3 TIMES A DAY. Emily takes out six tablets and swallows then with water, giving her a total of fourteen for the day. The pain immediately started to fade as Emily dozed off from both tiredness and euphoria.

"What have you got Spencer?" Aria asks as her and Hanna arrive. "Okay. So Bethany Drake escaped Radley sixteen days ago. The day Alison goes AWOL on us. So I 'hacked' into the cameras at Radley and this is the car she drove off in." Spencer points at the screen, identifying the black sedan. "I talked to Caleb and we 'borrowed' the cameras to find the car. It's in New Orleans." Spencer smiles. The others mirror her smile as they decide they are going to chase the lead. "Let's go then. Emily is becoming a rebel, like… like." Hanna goes to finish the sentence when the other girls finish it with her. "Like Sarah." They all say together. They look to each other as they realize what has gotten into Emily. Emily had embraced the fire like Sarah used to. Emily had embraced the hurt and bottled it up. Emily let the dark parts of her soul take over her and now she is pure darkness, pure anger, pure hate and she is aiming at one person. Alison DiLaurentis.

Emily wakes up from her slumber with a headache from her slight overdose. Her head spinning. She gets dressed and heads out to the motorbike. She rides to Sarah's cabin. She arrives and walks to the cabin, meeting the photo of her, Alison and Sarah on the kitchen counter. Emily grabs the photo and throws it in the garbage. She walks over to the refrigerator and opens it, searching for something to quench her hunger. She looks at the empty shelf and pulls it out, hearing a click. All of a sudden a door opens next to the refrigerator. "What the?" Emily says to herself as she pushes the secret door open. On the other side of the door was a set of stairs. Emily descends the stairs and turns on the light. "Woah!" Emily smiles as she stares upon the room.

2 days later:

"Here we are. Jazz City." Hanna smiles as she changes the radio station. Spencer turns the radio off. "Hanna, we are not here for sightseeing. We're here to get Ali." She says harshly. "Anyone heard from Emily since we left?" Aria asks the others. "I haven't but I've heard that she got suspended for a week or something. Apparently she skipped a whole two days of school. "Hanna replies. Worry crosses all the girls faces as they spot the car that Bethany escaped Radley in. "There!" Aria points it out. Spencer pulls up across the road from the apartment complex and all the girls get out of the car. They walk into the lobby and meet the clerk behind the check-in desk. Spencer goes to speak but Hanna cuts her off. "Excuse me, our friend called us and wanted us to pick her up from this address but she didn't give us a room number." Hanna says with her signature convincing and flirty smile. "Yes, of course. What was the name of your friend?" The clerk asks. Hanna responds after a moment of thinking. The girls watch her. "Alison DiLaurentis." Hanna replies. The clerk searches the name and smiles. "5D." He says. All the girls smile. "Thankyou." Hanna replies.
