A/N: Hey everyone! I have a few fanfics ending soon and want to start a new story, so I've made a poll on my profile for you all to vote on! Please check out the poll, and see which new story you want to see the most:)


"I…I'm surprised to hear you call me that" Mary frowned, tilting her head at the woman she believed was Spencer.

"Yeah well…I'm surprised to see you skulking in my backseat like some sort of serial killer!" Alex exclaimed, crossing her arms.

"You haven't been replying to the messages I left at your house. Is everything alright?" Mary questioned, as Alex tried to think of something to say.

"I've been busy you know…relationship drama, murders etc…" Alex trailed off.

"Yes. I have heard the police are building a case against you and your friends. Not completely unfounded though, is it?" Mary pointed out, quirking an eyebrow.

Mary was surprised once again when the brunette suddenly burst into a fit of manic giggles, her eyes darting around the car, as she tried to calm herself. Alex knew it was the complete opposite of the reaction Spencer would have, but she couldn't help it. She was freaking out.

"Sorry, I laugh when I'm nervous…not that I'm feeling nervous about meeting my mum for the first time…I mean who would feel nervous about that, right?! Okay, I'm gonna' shut up now" Alex stuttered, her eyes wide.

"What do you mean for the first time?" Mary frowned, completely confused.

"Nothing! I'm just babbling, good ol' Ale…Spencer babbling away. Ha! Everything's fine…I'm just gonna' leave now" Alex gulped, turning to exit the car.

"But it's your car" Mary pointed out, as Alex dropped her hand back to her lap.

"Oh...right. Can you leave then?" Alex suggested, ushering for her to get out.

"Spencer, is everything okay? Your acting…strangely" Mary mumbled, feeling that strange was an understatement.

"No, I'm not" Alex shrugged, biting her lip.

"I'm calling Alison, maybe she'll tell me what's wrong with you" Mary mumbled, taking her phone out of her pocket as Alex panicked.

"You really don't need to do that…like you really don't need to do that" Alex insisted, leaning down to grab an object that she knew would be resting by her feet.

Just as Mary was dialling Alison's number, she heard a shuffling from the front seat, her eyes snapping up, just in time to see Alex gripping a wrench in her hand, the object slamming into her forehead a moment later, as everything went black. Alex let out a little squeal as Mary flopped down in the backseat.

"Uh…sorry?" Alex cringed, biting her lip.

She slowly took her earpiece out of her bag, placing it back in her ear and opening the comm's, knowing she needed backup. Her first meeting with her mother had certainly not gone as planned.

"So, just theoretically…if I had knocked my mum out in the backseat of my car…what would you guys say about that?" Alex announced, hearing a symphony of sighs in the background.


"Oh C'mon! It's not that bad…she's fine!" Alex insisted, ushering to where Mary Drake was slumped in the chair she was tied to.

The group had instructed her to drive Mary to the Lost Wood's Motel where they all then proceeded to restrain her and work out their next move. Kara was having to physically restrain herself from face-palming as Alex gave them all a nervous smile.

"I panicked, okay?!" Alex pouted.

"So, your first thought is to knock her out?" Kara complained.

"Panicked, Kara! Pan…icked!" Alex insisted as Kara held her hands out in an exasperated motion.

"Maybe this isn't a bad thing. A confined Mary Drake is better than a wild one" Wren suggested.

"And what happens when this is all over and she tells the police that we kidnapped her?" Kara pointed out, crossing her arms.

"…I knock her out again?" Alex piped up, as they all turned to give her a look.

"Any other ideas?" Kara sighed, flopping down on the nearby motel bed.

"I have one" A voice purred, as Alex let out a yelp, practically flying into Wren's arms.

"How long have you been awake?" Kara inquired, seeing Mary's eyes flutter open, stretching her aching neck.

"Long enough to hear that you need my help" Mary replied, her eyes snapping over to Alex, who was still clutching onto Wren, who hadn't pushed her away yet.

"Sorry about you know…hitting you over the head with a blunt object. No hard feelings, right?" Alex exclaimed, with an awkward smile.

"Would someone please tell me what's going on here?" Mary pushed, straining a little against her restraints.

"She's Spencer's twin. Alex" Kara admitted, watching Mary's mouth go slack, her eyes looking like they were about to pop out of her head.

"Hi Mum" Alex mumbled, giving her a quick wave, finally letting go of Wren.

"…How hard was I hit on the head?" Mary frowned, thinking she was either hallucinating or still asleep.

"Well, I don't like to brag, but I have been working out recently…does it show?" Alex questioned, turning back to Wren with a mischievous wink.

"Uh…I guess?" Wren replied, not sure how to respond, watching a beaming smile grow on Alex's face.

"You know, I was thinking after this, maybe you and I could have a personal workout…if you get my drift" Alex went on, leaning closer to Wren.

"Um, Alex? Not really the time" Kara interjected, watching Wren gulp.

"Right. Yeah…later then" Alex nodded, as Kara gave her an unimpressed look.

"…Or never. Yeah, I'm good with never" Alex mumbled, looking down at her feet.

"Your really not Spencer are you?" Mary gaped.

"Hell no" Alex scoffed.

"You might have lost Spencer, but you could still have a relationship with Alex. She's your daughter too. But we would need your help" Jason explained, as Mary's forehead wrinkled.

"I want to protect all my children…even my nephew" Mary stated, looking at Jason with sad eyes.

"That ship sailed a long time ago" Jason retorted, crossing his arms.

"Maybe not. I…I have something for you. When I was working with Archer to take the family money, there was a flash drive included. I don't know what was on it…but it was from your mother" Mary informed them.

"And you're only telling me this now?" Jason inquired.

"Would you have believed me if I told you before?" Mary challenged.

"What makes you think we'd believe you now?" Kara pointed out, as Mary's eyes snapped over to Alex.

"Because I'm hoping my daughter will convince you" Mary admitted, as Alex's eyes softened.

"…You really want to help us?" Alex queried, as Mary nodded vehemently.

"Spencer has lost her way. So has Alison. I don't want to see the same thing happen to you…Alex" Mary told her, using her daughter's name for the first time.

"We're working to bring most of your family down. Your really okay with that?" Wren scoffed.

"My family is too far gone. I'm not blind. They need to be stopped" Mary exclaimed, but the others still weren't convinced.

"Alex, don't. We can't trust her" Kara insisted, as Alex slowly approached her mother.

"I think you're wrong. You've all got so used to lying, to not trusting anyone…Mary's right. This all has to stop. And this is our first step…" Alex trailed off, going behind the chair to begin untying Mary, hoping her tone sounded confident.

"She could ruin everything" Wren stated, as the rope fell away from Mary.

"I swear on my life…on my children's life…I just want to help. I don't want to see anyone else end up like my sister" Mary explained, pushing herself up from her seat.

She was surprised when Alex suddenly lunged at her, wrapping her arms around Mary's shoulders, and pulling her into a hug so tight the older woman could barely breathe. Mary let out a small chuckle, as she hugged her daughter back, feeling hopeful for the first time in her life. She wouldn't let her daughter down.


"I hate waiting like this. What if we're just letting Mary go so she can tell the police?" Jason inquired, as they watched Mary walk into the large bank on the outskirts of Rosewood.

"Then we see how good at lying we really are" Kara mumbled, causing Jason to let out a long sigh.

"Hey, we're going to be okay. We're so close. Can't you feel it?" Kara exclaimed, reaching out to place her hand over his, feeling how it was shaking lightly.

"That's why I'm so nervous. What if we're wrong about the girls? What if we're the real monsters in this story?" Jason insisted, as Kara squeezed his hand.

"You're a lot of things, Jase…but a monster? You have a good heart. I've always seen that in you" Kara told him, as Jason's lips twitched into a smile.

"…What do you think is on this flash drive?" Jason queried, a moment later.

"The truth" Kara replied, just as her phone bleeped, making them both jump.

Kara's forehead wrinkled as she saw bright white letters flash on her phone and realised that someone had taken over her phone's control. She placed the mobile on the dashboard of the car so Jason could also see the message, as they both knew instantly who the culprit was.

"Choose or lose. Just one plea, the rest go free. No one steps up, you all go down" Jason read aloud, turning to Kara in confusion.

"I don't think this was just sent to me. It's a message to the girls" Kara realised.

"A.D wants them to turn on each other" Jason nodded, slowly.

"And I think we're supposed to help them on their way. So, what do you say? Want to destroy them from the inside?" Kara smirked.

"Alex was right. They need to be stopped" Jason replied, a determined look on his face.


Aria was surprised when she opened the door to her flat to Kara standing across the threshold, a panicked expression on her face. Before Aria could say anything, Kara was rushing into the flat, her eyes darting around, clearly searching from someone. Time to see how good my acting skills are, Kara thought to herself.

"Has he gone?" Kara inquired, causing Aria to frown.

"Excuse me?" Aria questioned.

"Ezra! You've got him out of town, right? I mean, I have no love for the guy, we all know that but what's Spencer's planning to do-" Kara began, but Aria stopped her quickly.

"What are you talking about?" Aria frowned.

"She has a file that you wrote about how Ezra preyed on you back in school…shit, you don't even know, do you?" Kara gaped, her eyes wide.

"…No. No, there's no way she could have that file. I…it was destroyed" Aria shook her head.

"I think she's working with A. She wants to save herself. You can't trust a Hastings, remember? Didn't you get that text from A?" Kara pointed out, bringing her phone out of her pocket.

"Oh God…Ezra could go to prison. He could…we need to stop her. Now!" Aria insisted, rushing to the door.

"Aria, I think it might already be too late. We can't stop her" Kara sighed, watching Aria bite her lip.

"…But maybe someone else can…" Aria trailed off, grabbing her phone from her pocket.

"What are you doing?" Kara inquired.

Across the other side of town, Jason was currently having a similar conversation with Emily, explaining that Hanna was planning to frame Alison for Rollin's murder. Alison had motive, opportunity, and a bad reputation. Emily knew if Hanna got to the police first, then Alison would be going down for murder. She would lose her again.

"I have footage of Hanna digging up Rollins grave. I saved the recording that A.D sent us…if I send it to the police, they'll have to discount anything that Hanna says right?" Emily theorized.

"Em, this is Hanna we're talking about, remember? Can you really throw her under the bus like that?" Jason argued, as Emily's jaw tensed.

"I love your sister, Jason. I would do anything for her. Anything" Emily insisted.

"Spencer's in that footage. She's my sister too" Jason pointed out, as Emily shook her head.

"Hanna's made her choice. I can't help who's the collateral damage" Emily muttered, taking out her phone.


"I can't believe she would do this" Spencer shook her head, biting at her fingernails.

"Spence, we both know Ali has never been reliable. You can't be that shocked she would run away from. It's pretty much her M.O" Kara explained, as Spencer ran a hand through her messy hair.

As soon as Kara had left Aria's flat, she had made her way to the Hasting's house, informing Spencer that Alison was set to flee from Rosewood, leaving the girls to once again take all the heat.

"How could she just leave us? Doesn't she realise how guilty it will make us all look?!" Spencer exclaimed as Kara watched her slowly spiral.

"She hasn't left town yet…maybe there's a way to stop her…and save all of us at the same time" Kara suggested, as Spencer's eyes snapped up to hers.

"How?" Spencer asked.

"You've never killed anyone, Spencer…but Alison has" Kara stated, watching a frown grow on Spencer's face.

"Ian. If…if I told the police that she killed him, they would have to arrest her, she wouldn't be able to leave town…" Spencer trailed off.

"If the police believe she killed one person, it's not gonna be that much of a jump of to believe she killed Rollins too" Kara went on.

"But she saved me. The only reason I'm alive is because she killed Ian" Spencer sighed.

"Did she really need to kill him?" Kara questioned, as Spencer gave her a confused look.

"She could have just knocked him out. Pushed him away from you. But instead, she throws him to his death? Maybe she had more of a reason to do that than just saving your life?" Kara theorized.


"Didn't you get my messages?" Jason cried, when Alison opened the door to the Dilaurentis house, to find her brother panting on the doorstep, looking like he had just run a mile.

"I didn't realise we were on speaking terms" Alison scoffed, as Jason shoved his way into the house.

"Emily's planning on taking the baby" Jason announced, as Alison's mouth went slack, in too much shock to respond for a few seconds.

"What?" Alison gaped.

"She told me what she's been planning. She said she wanted the child to know her Uncle-" Jason began, but Alison cut him off.

"Emily would never do that to me. She's so unflinchingly loyal it's irritating at times" Alison retorted.

"That was until she found out you were pregnant. She thinks you'll be a terrible mother, Ali. She told me as much herself" Jason insisted, watching hurt flash over Alison's face.

"…She really said that?" Alison mumbled.

"You're going to lose everything, Ali. She's going to tell the police you killed Rollins" Jason informed her.

"What am I going to do?" Alison panicked.

"You need some way of disproving whatever she says. Maybe you can-" Jason started, but Alison stopped him.

"I have a piece of evidence. It can tie Emily to a murder" Alison announced.

"Rollins murder?" Jason suggested, as Alison shook her head.

"Bethany Young's" Alison admitted, as shock flashed over Jason's face.


"I can't keep it a secret any longer. It's been eating away at me, Han" Kara sighed, flopping down on Hanna's hotel room bed.

"Just spit it out, Kara" Hanna insisted

"Spencer isn't the only one of our friends who has slept with Caleb" Kara confessed, as Hanna's eyes widened.

"You slept with my fiancé?" Hanna gasped.

"Ew! No, why would you even…wait, your engaged?" Kara grimaced.

"Caleb proposed this morning" Hanna replied.

"Guilty conscience I expect" Kara muttered, making Hanna frown.

"What are you talking about?" Hanna asked, still confused.

"It's Aria. He slept with her…while you guys were still together" Kara explained, as Hanna walked over to bed emotionlessly, sitting down before she could faint.

"No…you must have got it wrong. They would never do that" Hanna shook her head.

"According to Caleb you two were going through a 'rough patch'...I guess that makes it all okay, huh?" Kara went on.

"After everything we've been through…how could Aria do that?!" Hanna cried, tears welling in her eyes.

"You push someone far enough and you'd be surprised to see the lengths they go to" Kara explained.

"I'm not letting her take Caleb from me" Hanna spat out, taking out her phone from her pocket.

"What are you doing?" Kara inquired.

"I'm phoning the police…and telling them everything about Shana's murder. I want Aria out of my life" Hanna exclaimed, missing the way Kara's lips twitched into a smirk.


Later that day, Aria was walking through the brightly lit corridors of the Rosewood Police Station, ready to give her full statement. She was confused when she was led away from the interview rooms and instead sent towards the lineup room. Her surprise grew when she saw the rest of the girls inside, some of the girls sharing her confusion, while Hanna glared at her with pure anger.

"What's going on?" Aria frowned, coming to sit beside her 'friends', staying far away from Spencer.

"Thank you for joining us, Aria" A familiar voice announced, as Aria's eyes widened.

"Tanner?" She gaped, as the familiar cop walked into the room.

"It's been a long time girls. Unfortunately, not long enough" Tanner exclaimed, crossing her arms.

"Why have you brought us in?" Spencer questioned, giving Alison a side-eye.

"I thought it was important for us to discuss all the evidence this department has gathered into the crimes you five had committed" Tanner informed them.

"And what crimes would those be?" Alison scoffed, as the door to the room swung open.

A second later, Kara came sauntering through the door, a smirk on her lips, looking almost gleeful. The sight made Alison sweat, as everything slowly started to come together. A smug Kara had always been dangerous.

"The murder of Archer Dunhill, Ian Thomas, Shana Fring…and Bethany Young" Kara replied, looking like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

"…You…how could you do this?" Hanna cried, panic clear in her voice.

"All I've done is fill in the gaps for our good friend here" Kara shrugged, as Emily pushed herself to her feet, barely being held back by Spencer.

"Take your best shot, Em. I'm sure we can add assault to the list of charges right?" Kara exclaimed, turning to Tanner.

"Of course. It'll be a nice addition to the spade that Alison provided with your fingerprints on it. The one that you used to attack Bethany, remember?" Tanner went on, as all eyes turned to Alison.

"You were going to take the baby, I couldn't-" Alison began, but Emily quickly cut her off.

"What are you talking about? I gave the police the footage of Hanna digging up Rollin's grave to save you!" Emily stated, as Hanna's jaw dropped open.

"What?! So you give me up to the police…and Aria fucks my boyfriend?" Hanna growled, her hands balled into fists.

"At least I wasn't about to get your boyfriend arrested!" Aria scoffed, glaring at Spencer.

"What? All I did was tell them that Ali killed…" Spencer trailed off, her eyes snapping over to Kara.

"It was all lies, wasn't it? You played us" Spencer realised, looking like the world was coming crashing down around her.

"Yep…well, everything apart from Aria fucking your boyfriend, Han. That was true" Kara smirked.

"You bitch!" Alison spat.

"True…but I'm not your bitch, Ali. Not anymore" Kara retorted.

"We will also be adding the crime of how you tortured Kara in the Dollhouse to our list. There will be some hefty life sentences. We'll begin your interviewing soon" Tanner informed them.

"You planned this all along, didn't you?" Spencer questioned, as Kara shrugged.

"I gave you every chance to make this right. But instead, you killed a guy and covered up his murder. You did this to yourself. I just ended it" Kara explained.

"She knew! She knew about all the things we did, she even helped-" Alison began, but Tanner cut her off with a wave of her hand.

"Kara has already signed an immunity deal. Any crimes she has or hasn't committed, she can no longer be tried for" Tanner went on, before walking out of the room, waving in a group of officers to take them away.

"You sent me to prison, now I'm simply returning the favor. Karma's a bitch, huh?" Kara smirked, before turning on her heel and marching away, not sparing a glance back.


"I wish I could have seen their faces" Mona complained, as they settled into the couch in Lucas' apartment.

"It was priceless" Kara grinned, coming to sit in between her and Jason.

"They're really going to get everything they deserved" Lucas mumbled, a small smile on his face.

"We beat them" Dylan nodded, raising his beer up, as Lucas joined in, clinking their bottles together.

"But we still don't know what happened to my sister" Wren sighed, from where he was leaning against the kitchen counter.

"We know more than we did. The police have evidence showing that Emily attacked Bethany. She's always been the weak link. If the cops play their cards right, maybe they'll get to truth" Kara explained.

"And what if they don't?" Wren questioned.

"We take matters into our own hands again" Dylan announced, his eyes snapping up to Wren's, who nodded slowly.

"Wow…you guys are so freaking badass! Ooo, can I go undercover again?" Alex inquired, squeezing in between Kara and Mona.

"You've done your part, Alex. We couldn't have done all this without you" Kara pointed out, as a shy smile grew on Alex's face.

"…Isn't that right, Wren?" Kara suggested, quirking an eyebrow towards the older man.

"Uh, yeah…you did good" Wren agreed, as Alex's grin broadened.

"Aw! Thank you" Alex exclaimed, pushing herself to her feet and practically jumping on Wren, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

"You're welcome" Wren replied, awkwardly patting Alex on the back, as she hugged him back even tighter.

"Am I interrupting something?" Mary questioned, walking through the front door, which had been left unlocked, as they waited for her to return.

"Maybe" Alex grinned, reluctantly pulling away from Wren.

"Did you get it?" Jason inquired his full attention on his Aunt, who nodded slowly.

She placed the memory stick on the table in front of them, as everyone was silent for a moment. What answers would the drive give them, if any? And did they even want to know?

"Do you still want to do this?" Kara asked, turning to Jason, who reached out to grab the memory stick.

"I want to know who killed my mother" Jason replied, opening Lucas' laptop and inserting the memory stick.

A video quickly popped up, as the group crowded around the screen, seeing that the thumbnail revealed Jessica Dilaurentis. Kara placed her hand on Jason's shoulder, as he pressed play, not noticing the way Wren tensed at the action. Alex was the only one who seemed to catch on, coming to stand closer to the other man, wanting to comfort him herself.

"I thought for a while tonight about who to send this to…but I'm afraid I've come up empty. I'm not sure who I can trust anymore. I hope whoever sees this doesn't make the same mistakes I did. I just wanted to protect my family…but somehow I ended up here. I still don't understand how A knows what I did to Alison, about Charles…they seem to know everything. They've been here from the beginning. It all goes back to Bethany. Back to Radley. I can't run anymore. I have to meet them, to stop this. Otherwise, they'll tell everyone what Alison…and I can't let that happen. I should have been there for her when she was a child. I should never have let her become friends with…Oh. I think they're here now. I was thinking the other night…how Kara was right. I hope I get to tell her someday..." Jessica explained, reaching forward to stop the video, a sad expression on her face.

Kara gulped as everyone in the room turned to her, confusion etched over their faces, as she stared at Jessica's motionless face. What was she right about?


Author's Notes: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! We've truly entered the Endgame now, in fact I think there may only be five chapters left!
