Alison saw smoke and instinctively Caleb and Ezra ran over. The smoke was coming from underground. No wonder A wasn't at the farm, he was too busy in the underground tunnel. She knew Andrew Campbell was a weird history nerd, but she didn't think he'd literally recreate something like this. After some digging they found a steaming sewer grate. "Emily? Hanna? Aria? Spencer?" She continued yelling for her friends. This was getting dangerous. Where was this smoke coming from?
"Emily?!" Her name naturally slid off her tongue. She so desperately wished she was yelling Emily's name in any other circumstance…especially one that involved a nice warm bed…or maybe a shower..anything but this. Alison jumped when she heard banging coming from behind her. Hidden behind vines and leaves, Caleb found a cellar door, the one where all the banging was coming from.
"Help us! Please help us! Let us out!" Alison could hear the fear in her friends' voices.
"Open it!"Alison screamed at Caleb. Caleb was trying his best but he couldn't quite get the lock. Ezra tried helping, when finally Alison had enough. Smoke was peaking through the door and Alison's eyes began to tear. Was A trying to burn them alive? Alison always knew that if she needed something done she could really only trust herself to do it. She pushed Ezra aside and lifted with all her might. She was making progress. One more lift and they might get the door open. Without thinking her and Caleb simultaneously lifted and the door opened. She stepped back from the force and just as her eyes opened she felt her. She felt the warm body grabbing and holding tightly around her. She knew exactly who it was hugging her this way. She knew Emily's scent no matter how long they were away for. Emily shook in the blonde's arms and Alison held Emily like she would never let her go again.
Caleb embraced Hanna in a similar fashion, as did Ezra and Aria. Spencer hugged Mona glad that the two were able to work together and create a plan that got them out of that Hell hole.
Alison pulled back to examine her beautiful mermaid. She didn't seem physically damaged. There was some ash and dirt around her face, but nothing she couldn't handle. Alison also just realized the girls were all dressed in prom gowns. She'd have to ask them about that later, much later when they felt ready to talk about what had happened. Right now she only cared about one thing "Are you okay?" Alison asked with the most sincere and concerned tone, as she wiped a tear from Emily's cheek. Emily nodded "You came for us". She wasn't asking but rather telling Alison in a way that only Ali understood meant "of course you came for us, you always do".
"I love you" Ali blurted out. Emily smiled and embraced Ali again. It made Alison so happy to have the love of her life right here, alive, in her arms. Emily could have ran to anyone, to anything, she could have ran and never looked back but the second she saw Ali's face she almost tackled her to ground. The hard part was over now. She saved her friends, and now she was going to spend the rest of her time helping them recover from this trauma, and prove to Emily she had changed and was going to do everything in her power to prove her love.
Charlotte's POV
Charlotte could see this pathetic reunion from where she was standing. It made her sick. Naturally Emily ran straight to Ali's arms. It made her sick. And not for anything, why did Ali look just as pathetic as Emily? Charlotte had only seen Alison look at one other person this way and it was way back when in Wildwood when Alison hooked up with board shorts. Did Ali have feelings for Emily? No way. Alison would have told her years ago. Then again, Alison did have this obsession with ruining that one girl's life. What was her name? Pigskin something or other? Paige maybe? Either way she was irrelevant, but that girl ended up dating Emily. Maybe she was onto something.
She watched for just a few more moments until she saw Rosewood's finest. Good old Toby ran over and kissed Spencer. Charlotte overheard him exclaim "It's Andrew babe! We got him!" Charlotte audibly laughed to herself. God she was good. They really had no idea. Yet again she was in the clear. She turned around and walked off to The Lost Woods. She'd stay there for now, until she came up with a new plan. It wouldn't be hard, and she knew she was more than capable of living up to the challenge.
