Chapter 24

Updated: August 28, 2017. Corrected grammar/spelling mistakes, etc.

Hey guys! I am so sorry it's been so long. I have literally had absolutely no inspiration to update this. However, this is going to be a very short chapter. It will have Hanna talking to the girls and then we will skip back over and see how Spencer and Emily are doing.

Reply to Reviews (chapter 25)

Emilie2601:Yes! Gold star for you, lol. It is the daughter in foster care. Madeline Taylor. Good for you. :)

Infinitefalling:Not quiet there. But you are right about her being related to Hanna. On another note, do you happen to know how old Ashley and Ted are? Maybe I can have Hanna have a sibling.

Haleb-Haleb-Haleb:You're right. :) Two gold stars for you. Here is the next chapter.

LittleLiarLovesEmily: Hello lovely new reviewer. First I want to say thank you for all the reviews. It's always nice to have new people. Second, I hope you are enjoying story and third I am going to try to answer all your reviews working backwards; yes, Taylor is Hanna's kid but not her and Caleb's. Hanna will be going to a doctor real soon, and I may have Liv and Elliot as the detectives working the case. Don't worry! I will give everyone some Hannily soon. Maybe in the next chapter or so. :) I really liked Ali on the show and I wanted to make her a good person in this. The more support Hanna has afterwards the better. :)

Disclaimers: I do not own PLL or the characters. I do own all characters not associated with the show unless otherwise specified.
Spoilers: This story has spoilers for part 2, The Demons in My Life. Please go and read that story. It will explain a lot of things.
Rating: T to be safe.

Hours missing: 75 hours, 45 minutes (Hanna & Justin). Approx. 1 hr. 20 min. (Anna, Skye, Caroline).
Person(s) Missing: Hanna Marin, Justin Harris, Annabelle and Skyelynn Marin, Caroline Cook, and Taylor Quincey.
Location: Wooded area on New Jersey/New York boarder.

Enjoy!

"Hurry up and get your asses upstairs." Justin growls causing Hanna to quickly grab Anna and Skye's hand while saying,

"Maddie, get Caroline's hand and come upstairs. Hurry now and come on." The eight-year-old grabs Caroline's hand and follows her mom and sisters upstairs. They come to two bedrooms.

Hanna steps into one room. It has two beds; this will be the twins room.

Hanna brings all the girls in, shuts the door and then sits them down on the bed.

"Mammy!" Skye cries as she launches herself into Hanna's arms. Hanna tries to prepare herself as she is still in pain, but as Skye hits a particularly sore bruise on her body Hanna barely holds in a groan.

"I need you, girls, to listen to me very carefully. Okay?" Hanna finally says after several minutes of comforting the girls.

"Yes, Mammy." Skyelynn answers.

"What daddy has done is a very, very bad thing. And I am so sorry that he did it. But I need you all to listen and obey every single thing that he tells you. Okay? It is very important that you do that." Hanna tells the girls this. She hopes to God Toby is out looking for them.

"But Mammy," Annie's bottom lip trembles and it breaks Hanna's heart. "If what he did was a bad thing, then why do we hafta listen to him?"

Hanna sighs and brings her youngest daughter closer. "Because, my sweet baby girl, if we don't do as he says then he hurt us. And I do not want him to do that to you. So I need all of you to do exactly as he says, even if you do not want too. Is understood?"

The three girls nod and Hanna looks at the youngest girl in the room: Caroline Annabeth Cook. "Caroline, do you understand what I am telling you?" She asks in a semi-stern but equally gentle voice.

The little blonde, - who could very well be the 50/50 of her mothers, from her big blue eyes she got from Samara to her beautiful, long blonde hair she got from Zoe, - nods her head as big crocodile tears fall down her face.

She collapses into sobs as Hanna wraps her in her arms. Suddenly, the door is being slammed open by Justin. He storms in and takes Madeline with one hand and Caroline with the other.

"NO!" Caroline screams, reaching for Hanna. "LET ME GO!" She starts kicking and flailing her arms trying to get back over to Hanna.

"Baby, don't fight, don't fight, sweet girl," Hanna says from her place on the bed where Annie and Skye are now cowering against her. "Just go with him and be good. Remember what I said: Listen to him and everything will be okay."

Justin backhands the small girl and the kindergartener goes quiet with shock. "Shut up, you ungrateful little bitch!" He yells at her. "Shut up or I'll make sure to kill those precious little dykes you call your parents! Is that understood?" At the mention of Samara and Zoe, Caroline's eyes widen with fear and her face goes white as a ghost.

She nods her head rapidly but that just pisses Justin off more and he backhands her again. "Speak like a lady, you little bitch! I said 'do you understand?'"

"Y-yes, sir. I-I unders-stand." She stutters. Justin drags Madeline and Caroline out of the room and down the hall. He shoves Maddie into one and then pushes Cara into the other. He locks both girls' door so they cannot escape.

Then Justin storms back to Annie and Skye's room where they are waiting and being comforted by Hanna.

"Get up, you stupid slut." He demands of Hanna. "Get your ass downstairs and be a good little wife or I'll let Big Robbie have some fun with you and your stupid angels." Hanna stands and walks to the door ignoring Annie and Skye's protests and cries, knowing that if she listened she would want to stay and that would only piss Justin off more.

Hanna's heart breaks into a million pieces as she watches Justin close and lock the twins' bedroom door, shutting out Annie's cries of 'Mammy, please don't go." and Skye's protests and cries of "Mammy, please come back, please!"

Downstairs Hanna is greeted by Rob and Lisa and the new couple.

"Hanna, baby," Justin says, the nickname making Hanna sick to her stomach. "These are my friends, Steven or Big Stevie, and his wife Susan. Be a good girl and say hello. Tell them how nice it was to bring our babies home for the holidays."

"Hello, Steven, hello Susan," Hanna says all the while trying not to be sick at the feeling of Justin's arm wrapped tightly around her waist. "It is very nice to meet you. I am thankful for you bringing my children home to me."

Big Stevie smiles a creepy smile that one would only describe as belonging to world's biggest pedophile. "Oh, no Hanna," He says and his voice sends chills down Hanna's spine. "The pleasure is all mine."

Hanna just grimaces and swallows back the sick feeling in her stomach.

*Meanwhile, with Spencer and Emily*

Back at the house and down in the basement, Emily and Spencer arouse from their drug-induced sleep. Spencer wakes first and she panics the moment she realizes the room they are in is in no way familiar to her.

She sees Emily a few feet away from her and it looks like the retired swimmer is starting to come to. Spencer stands, wobbles a bit, and then runs over to Emily. She shakes her shoulder until the younger girl comes to all the way.

"Em, Emily, wake up. Come on, Em. I need you to wake up, Emily, I need to know that you are okay." Spencer repeats until Emily is fully awake.

"What the hell?!" Emily shoots up into a sitting position. "Where the hell are we?!"

Spencer sighs and looks around. The room is completely bare and has concrete walls. "We must be in the basement of somewhere. But I don't remember how we got here. Do you?"

Emily closes her eyes and tries to concentrate but comes up empty-handed. "No, I don't." She sighs. "The last thing I remember is watching a movie with the girls." Something suddenly dawns on her and she yells, "The girls! Oh God, what happened to the twins and Caroline?!"

Spencer shakes her head. "I don't Em," she whispers. "I don't remember ever leaving the house."

"Oh my, God! I promised them, Spence! I promised them they were safe and that no one was going to hurt them. And now they could be God only knows where!" Emily yells as she finally breaks down into tears and collapses into Spencer's arms.

"Shhh, Em," Spencer whispers reassuringly. "Just take some deep breaths for me, sweetie, okay? Everything is going to be just fine." She doesn't really believe herself, not after everything that has happened in the past week, but she says it anyway. "We are going to find them. Aria and Ezra are bound to realize we are missing. They'll figure out where we are; hopefully and then we will get out.

Here is a short update. Once again, I am so sorry it has been so long! Great news though! Santa brought me a mini-laptop for Christmas. I now have one to type on at home and school and maybe with this update and all those lovely reviews to come, I will have more inspiration to write another chapter.

Also, wow! 131 reviews! Can I get ten more for the next chapter?

Let me know what you thought. Will Aria and Ezra realize Spencer and Emily are missing? Why Don't they remember what happened? And how is life going to be now that Hanna and Justin have their children and Caroline with them?
