"What did he want?" Toby asked, as Spencer shut the door after speaking to Garrett.
Spencer turned around leaning against the wall, Caleb looked up curiously.
"He thinks I started the fire in the garage, he thinks I went in there to set it on fire, but I got caught in the flames."
"What? That's crazy!" He exclaimed.
"Wait, why does he think you started the fire?" Caleb asked.
"Because I hate Jenna? I don't know, he didn't say." Spencer shrugged.
"Do they have any evidence?" Toby asked.
"I don't think so, but I'm sure with Jenna and Garrett some will pop up." She said raising her eyebrows.
A couple of hours later there was another knock on the door, Caleb was in the shower and Spencer was getting changed so Toby opened the door.
"Hey Hanna," he greeted, stepping back to let her in and shutting the door after her.
"Hey Toby," she said warmly, looking round, "So are you guys ready?"
"Ready for what?" Spencer asked, walking out of the bedroom, hairbrush in hand.
"The carnival of course!" Hanna exclaimed.
"The carnival? The last one wasn't exactly brilliant," Spencer commented, remembering how she got trapped in the fun house. It wasn't a good one for Hanna either as it was the day Caleb left.
"Yeah, well. This one will be different, come on Aria and Emily have gone ahead, I'm bringing you three." Hanna ordered, tapping her foot. Toby and Spencer grabbed their coats, as Caleb came out of the bathroom. "You," she pointed to Caleb, "Get downstairs and in the car, now." Caleb raised his eyebrows as Hanna practically shoved him out of the door, Spencer and Toby followed, locking the door behind them.
"Ow! Caleb! You're meant to hit the target, NOT my hand." Hanna exclaimed, Caleb just smirked, shrugging. The others laughed. The girl in the stall still handed Caleb a rather large teddy bear with a smile, Hanna glared at her. But Caleb handed the bear to Hanna, kissing her right infront of the girl. "Where's Ezra?" Emily asked, looking down at Aria.
She shrugged, "He tries to avoid this kind of thing," she said, stepping back as a group of little kids ran past.
"I don't blame him," Spencer added, shoving her hands in her coat pockets, she was cold and really not in the mood for this. They walked on to the next stall, the man behind the counter handed Spencer and Aria a gun each.
"The targets will pop up in a second," he said gruffly, indicating with his head to the back board, he was clearly not impressed with having to work there. He disappeared under the tent flap, Aria aimed the gun at the back wall, waiting for the targets.
Spencer jumped as they popped up, Aria and Spencer were about to shoot when Hanna stopped them.
"Guys, look." She gasped, Spencer lowered the gun, following Hanna's line of sight.
Written on each of the targets was: Follow-My-Rules-Or-Someone
"I think you have to shoot them so the next target comes up," Caleb pointed out.
Aria's hands were shaking so Toby took the gun from her, shooting the targets spot on: Will-Get-Hurt
Were the next words on the targets.
"What are the rules?" Emily asked, as if by perfect timing the girls phone's buzzed.
They glanced round at each other before checking the texts.
"Caleb, you have to go with Spencer and Aria." Hanna said, sliding her phone back into her pocket.
"And you have to go with Hanna and Emily," Spencer said to Toby, who was looking pretty confused. "So we have to go into the fun house?" Aria asked, looking at Spencer, then to Caleb.
"And we have to go to the storage unit?" Emily said, not fully understanding.
"There's probably something in it, something we'll need to see." Hanna said.
Aria's phone buzzed again, "Time's running out bitches. A." She sighed, sticking it back into her bag.
"Come on," Spencer directed, tugging Aria and Caleb's arm in the direction of the fun house.
They were walking away when Spencer turned around, wrapping her arms around Toby, breathing in that smell that made her feel safe, before reluctantly letting go.
"I'll see you in a while?" He said, stroking her cheek. She nodded, being led away from him by Aria.
Toby walked between Emily and Hanna, "Does it say anything else?"
"Nope, just to go to the storage unit Ali used."
"Why did she have a storage unit anyway?" He asked.
Emily looked away, Hanna spoke up. "To store the videos."
Toby's jaw set, "Oh."
They walked to Emily's car in silence, "Do you want to drive?"
Toby nodded, taking the keys out of Emily's hand and sliding into the drivers seat.
They drove down the road, Toby's eyes set on the path in front of him.
Hanna sighed in the front seat beside him, leaning her head against the window.
"Don't tell anyone this, but clowns really freak me out," Caleb said, standing at the entrance of the fun house.
"Fun houses really freak me out," Spencer said.
"Last time Spencer was in one, someone locked her in. Alone." Aria informed him.
"Oh damn." Caleb said, raising his eyebrows. "What exactly do we have to do here?"
"The text didn't say." Spencer sighed. "Let's go."
The three of them walked through the entrance, side by side, handing in their tickets as they went. "Follow the arrows," Spencer read from her phone, looking along the walls to see the familiar blood red paint. They followed the arrows, listening to the shrieks from people in other rooms, they pushed a grey door open, it didn't look like part of the set. Aria looked down at her phone, "Leave your phones here. A." Caleb looked really hesitant at this point, but he still set down his phone, Spencer and Aria did the same, walking into the room. The door slammed shut behind them, a lock turned, it was pitch black, Aria walked into Caleb, making him jump.
Suddenly the room was lit with a bright UV light. The three of them gasp, covering the walls was pictures, stills even from the videos. The videos the girls thought to be Ians.
Caleb immediately went up to the nearest wall, tearing down the pictures of Toby and Jenna. Aria turned around, taking in all of the pictures.
"Spencer," Aria said, she walked over beside Aria.
"Yeah?"
"If Ian took these, how come he's in them?" Spencer turned looking all over the wall, sure enough Ian was in a lot of them.
"Spencer, Aria." Caleb called, they both turned around, one of the screens in the room had turned on. Ian's car drove onto screen and into the back of a storage unit, Ian climbed out, looking around shiftily, before locking the car and walking away, checking around him. He pulled the door down, before hurrying off screen.
"Is that the place the others are going?" Caleb asked, not taking his eyes away from the screen.
"Yeah," Aria said, Spencer didn't know, she wasn't with them the night they went.
Spencer slid down onto the floor, her back against the wall facing the screen, so she could keep her eyes on it. Aria sat down beside her.
Caleb continued to walk around, looking at the pictures, trying to understand their lives before him.
He sighed after a while, sitting down beside Spencer, tapping his foot.
"What are we meant to do?" Aria asked Spencer, as if she was meant to know.
"I have no idea, wait I guess." They all looked up at the screen as Emily's head became visible, then Hanna's, then Toby's. The camera had switched, it was now facing the front of the storage unit, they pulled up the door, walking in. As soon as they had all entered a black hooded figure appeared, pulling the door down and locking it. Caleb jumped up a little, "What's going on?" He asked, not expecting an answer.
The camera switched once more, to inside the room, the three of them were walking around, looking in the windows of Ian's car.
"I really don't get this," Spencer remarked, frowning at the screen.
Aria rested her head on Spencer's shoulder, she was drifting in and out of sleep.
Caleb and Spencer passed their time by talking about school, and what was yet to be done with the apartment.
"What's wrong with Hanna?" Aria asked, lifting her head off of Spencer, they looked up at the screen, her eyes were closing every now and again for quite a long time, and she was swaying slightly. Caleb sat up, "She looks really drowsy."
Spencer nodded in agreement. Caleb's heart sank when he saw what happened next.
Hanna fell to the ground, lying there, deathly still.
I understand there isn't exactly much Spencer and Toby together in this episode, but I wanted to show what strong characters they are while standing alone. Also the main reason for this chapter was to show how strong the bond between the characters is, and how it's devloped over the past chapters. Anyway, make sure to leave your review and idea's for new chapters are always welcome. I'm also writing a purely Spencer/Toby chapter for the future which I hope you will love as much as I do.
Enjoy :)
