Hello, just a little update. I hope you'll enjoy it.

External POV Hell's Room Day 1

Toby was awake by a violent punsh on the face. Nice! he thought as he felt his cheek and ear buzzing. He couldn't see anything, The room was very dark, he wouldn't see his hands even if they were in front of his eyes. He only was punshed once, if that was hell for A, then it was even better than outside!

Toby was trying to figure out a way to get rid of the rope tightened around his whole body against his chair. Another punsh on the face, this time he felt the chair swinging, he almost fell. It didn't hurt that much, he could take it. He never knew when the hits were coming, maybe that was on purpuse. It wasn't very scary for Toby, a few punshes wouldn't be enough to scare him off and stop him from saving Spencer.

He heard a familiar noise he couldn't remember what it was precisely. It was not really reassuring, who knew what A prepared for him?

Toby started to feel anxious, he was punshed several times now and every punsh was stronger. For now, he could take it but it was just the start on a whole week.

External POV The lake house (Hell Week day 1)

Emily gets up early, she's always the second to wake up. Right after Toby, she would usually find him on the pc analysing every clue they got. She went to the kitchen and started making some coffee. It was weird because Toby made coffee every day even if he never drunk more than a sip of it. Emily put her hair behind her ear and saw a little piece of paper on the kitchen table. She was ready to pick it up when her phone started ringing.

"Allo?" She said still fuzzy from her sleep "Mom! Please, slow down a little I didn't sleep well, I can't figure out what you are saying right now." She said drinking her coffee.

"Emily, it's your friend, the swimmer, she had an accident" I

She almost choked when she realised who her mother was referring to. She didn't see her since they broke up. She spit her coffee on the floor.

"Paige? But what happened? Is she ok, please mom, tell me she's fine."

"I don't know darling, it happened this morning she was out for a run, and a car must have ran over her."

" Did the police catch the driver?"

"No, it was a hit and run, but they is an investigation. Emily, I need to see you can you come home?"

"Yeah of course, I'll drop by the hospital and get home as soon as possible."

Emily hang up the phone and opened the door of the room, took her car keys and rushed to her car. The girls were still asleep.

External POV Hospital (Hell Week day 1)

Emily was sitting in the waiting room next to Paige's parents.

"How do you know our daughter" Asked a tall brown man trying to calm his wife down.

They didn't know Paige was gay, so she had to stick to the friends version.

"hm, I was in the swim team too, we are friends."

" Thank you for being here I'm sure she would appreciate it."

Emily shyly nodded, she felt bad. She broke Paige's heart, she was sure she wouldn't appreciate it.

"You were on the swim team?"He asked emphasising on were.

"Yes, I quit, I just realised it wasn't for me." Emily answered in a little voice.

A nurse came closer and stood in front of Paige's father.

"How is she?" He asked worried

" She's in the emergency room, her life is still in danger but the doctors and surgeons are doing their best to save her." Replied the nurse trying to keep them waiting calmly.

Paige's mom was in shock she didn't speak a word, it was like she was out of her body. Emily felt out of place, like she didn't have the right to be there, but she had no choice. She needed to make sure Paige was going to be fine.

External POV The lake house (Hell Week day 1)

Aria got up with a buzz, it was her phone. She received a text message, her brother Mike told her she they had a family dinner this evening. Their parents had something to announce.

She got up and went to the kitchen. The coffee was already done as always. Thank you Toby, she thought. She was drinking her hot coffee when Ezra joined her in the kitchen.

"Good morning sunshine!" He said with a smile. He came behind her and started kissing her neck.

It has been a long time since they were alone together. They missed each other. Aria turned around and eskimoed her nose real close to his. This morning felt so good. She could get lost in his eyes all day long and he could say the same. They were both interrupted by a cough. It was Caleb, he stared at Ezra pretty badly and then came in the kitchen. Aria noticed this since the first day she told everyone about their relationship. She felt bad about it, why did their realtionship have to look so wrong in everyone else's eyes? After all they were just two people who loved each other just like Hanna and Caleb, or Spencer and Toby. Was it that complicated to understand?

Ezra stepped back the second he noticed Caleb was there. He really didn't want to make anyone unconfortable, she couldn't say the same for Caleb. His message was well sent and received.

Caleb took some cereal and saw a little paper on the kitchen table as he was about to pour milk in his bowl. A note was never normal with them, not with A behind their backs. He put the milk down and took the note.

It's time for me to go. I'll be back in a week. Please don't worry about me. I love you.

Toby.

"Did you guys see that?" He asked alarmed.

Aria and Ezra looked at him and Aria shook her head. Caleb handed her the note, she read it and it left her tongue-tied. Ezra took the piece of paper from Aria's hand, which she directly put on her mouth. They had no idea Toby was gone during the night.

"Why didn't he say anything?" Asked Ezra to no on in particular

Aria was still speechless, Ezra took her in his arms and tried to reassure her.

Caleb went into the bedroom to tell Hanna and Emily. He sat on the edge of the bed Hanna and Emily shared and started to wake her slowly. When she finally opened her eyes, he didn't know how to tell her. He looked around him, stroke a hand in his hair. Hanna sat up, she could tell something was going on. Caleb seemed really nervous.

"Hanna, Toby, he is gone"

When he pronouced those words, she immediately knew what he was saying. She forced herself not to cry, Toby wouldn't want that. The news shook her but she decided not to give in to her sadness, it'd be too much fun for A. Aria 's head popped out of the door frame as she was asking about Emily.

Hanna got out of her bed, took her phone and texted Emily.

Spencer POV Dilemma Room (Hell Week day 1)

I woke up very early today, once again. I have been lying on the floor for a few minutes now. I decide to get up. I push myself from the flood, stand up and hear a little ring. I check my phone hoping it's Toby but it's not the phone. The ring came from elsewhere. Was it the little thing A's minion installed last time? I have no idea but I have to find where it came from. I start wandering across the room and throwing looks here and there to see if there's anything new to the room. The room looks no different than the other days. Same old crappy gray walls, same creepy atmosphere. Everything was the same.

I hear the ring again and this time, I see where it comes from. It's the screens, I run and sit, there is a new message for me. I have to say I sure am releived it's not another dilemma. I click to open. There is a video with three words above it. It is time.

Time for what? I press the play button and see a dark alley. There is a guy walking all alone. Another guy get's behind him, drugs him and put him in the car. When the camera zooms on the victim's face. It's Toby.

It was The time. Toby was now in A's hell. It takes me a few minutes to realise it.

"Where is he?" I say, mad at myself for doing this to him.

The screen becomes black and two seconds later a dilemma appears. I hold my breath and read each word alone. My stomach tightens, I feel so sick.

Please review because when you don't, it makes me feel like my story sucks.

Love you all, kisses.
