Chapter 25 – Let me be your Hero
Alison started to open her eyes…
Cece. – "Finally, you're awaking…" (She ran a hand through Alison's hair and said) "You're a real dream beauty Barbie…"
Alison was disoriented; but she tried to pull back when she felt the touch of Cece on her cheek.
Alison found herself trapped in a chair with tape on her arms and legs when she said with big eyes of shock. – "Cece?! What …"
Alison couldn't end her sentence because Cece put a finger against her lips and murmured "Shhh…"
Cece pulled away and Alison noticed that they were in the pool of the school.
Cece started to play with the water of the pool with her hand as she said. – "Do you remember that summer? We had a hell of a lot of fun in the water and also outside: parties, dancing…" (She turned her head towards Alison and looked her in the eyes) "But don't worry; we will have more fun; I'm preparing a big surprise for you Ali…"
Alison gulped. – "Cece are you working for -A?"
Cece smiled and replied. – "Come on Barbie, you're smarter than that… I'm '-A'! Let me tell you my story…"
(In the bathroom of the school)
The girls were talking with the cops on the phone, and Emily was punching everything that was around her as expression of her frustration. Hanna approached and patted the back of the brunette in order to calm her down.
Hanna. – "Em, you need to calm down..."
Emily cried. – "I can't! The last time, Melissa almost killed her! God knows if she hasn't done it already!"
Aria. – "Don't say that Em! In time like these we need to stay positive!"
Blair went to the bathroom and when she opened the door, she noticed all the girls in there and she asked.
Blair. – "What is happening? Where is blondie?"
Emily gulped and Spencer answered for her.
Spencer. – "Someone has taken her… we believe it was my sister who escaped today…"
Blair. – "What?! How…" (She looked to Emily and noticed that she had Alison's handbag on her hands) "It's her phone inside?"
Emily looked inside and said. – "No…"
Detective Tanner said on the phone on speaker. – "Look girls, your parents are in the way, we appreciate your help but we're taking it from here… we are in our way to the school, please don't touch anything; we will need it as evidence…"
Spencer hangs up the call. The girls were in the hallway of the school before their parents arrived; they were talking.
Emily. – "I'm going to look for her…"
Hanna. – "Em, you have no idea where to look! What are you going to do?!"
Emily ran a hand through her hair and said with a shakily voice. – "I can't stay and do nothing!"
Blair. – "I think that I can localize her with her phone…"
Emily. – "Really?!"
Blair. – "Yes, if she has her phone with her, we can know where she is…"
Aria. – "What if she has not her phone with her?"
Spencer. – "We should try any way; let's try that…"
Blair. – "I leave my laptop in my car, let's go!"
The girls followed Blair to the parking.
(In the pool of the school)
Alison. – "How could you do this to me?! We were so close, why?! You play me for a fool! You backstabbing, duplicitous bitch!"
Cece. – "Don't be so dramatic Ali!"
Alison. – "It's not my fault that my Dad never loves you!"
Cece approached and said with a crazy face. – "Our Dad! Our Dad, Ali!" (mocking smiles) "You know I don't know what he was thinking when he got involve with the two sisters, I mean that love triangle is just too much don't you think?" (She mapped Alison's face with her finger and Alison showed a disgusting expression) "Even if we are not really sisters, we are related by blood… and from the moment you came to my life I've never left your side, you're my lively own doll…"
Alison. – "If you care so much about me; why don't you stop this game once and for all… your obsession is with me! Why did you involve my friends on this?!"
Cece sighed. – "When I was at Radley; Mona told me everything about the girls, those bitches were happy when you were gone! And that really, really pissed me off… "
Alison. – "So… I was a bitch! What is the fucking problem if they were relieved! They had done nothing to you! You have no right to mess with their lives!"
Cece. – "The old Ali would have understood it… I was so proud of you, the Queen Bee! But you changed… He changed you…"
Alison's eyes got bigger when she realised of who they were talking.
Alison tried to hide her anger when she asked. – "Did you kill Enzo?"
Cece approached and she was face to face with Alison when she replied with a smile. – "I shoot him 3 times, so yes…"
Alison felt the anger surfacing on her body, she balanced her head back and forth in order to hit Cece and with her front-head, she broke Cece's nose.
Cece pulled back and she was stopping the bleeding of her nose when she said. – "It's time that you open your eyes Ali… Don't you see! No one will love you has much I do! Enzo and those bitches, especially Emily, they came between me and you! !"
Alison got really pissed off when Cece mentioned Emily. – "I will kill you before you put a finger in my mermaid! You have no idea of what I'm capable! You don't dare to touch her!"
Cece smirked. – "Oh Ali, I know what are you capable to do! I know your potential Ali… You're a rough diamond that I'm going to shape my way… I just want you to pay attention…"
Alison. – "Attention to what?! Are you planning to use the girls as a decoy?"
Cece. – "No this time, I already did it in the past, I needed to bring you back to Rosewood and I knew that if the girls were in trouble, you would show up to help them…"
Alison. – "So what are you complotting now?! Why you're revealing yourself now?"
Cece. – "I already told you, no one love you as much as I do; but you continue putting Emily and those girls as your top priority, it's disgusting and I just want you to open your eyes…" (Mocking smiles) "I will show you who really are those bitches and how someone as Emily doesn't deserve your love!"
(In Blair's car)
Emily. – "Do you know where she is?"
Blair was typing in her computer when she said. – "Almost…"
Hanna. – "Perhaps, we should call Caleb for support…"
Blair. – "Wait, I have it!"
Spencer. – "Where is she?!"
Blair confused. – "She's here?!"
Aria. – "What?!"
Blair pointing out in the screen and said. – "She's in the school, if I'm not mistaken, she's in the pool of the school…"
Emily got out of the car and she was the 1st to start running in direction of the pool; the others followed her.
(In the pool of the school)
*** Music background: Wreak Havoc by Skylar Grey***
Alison. – "You will no separate me from Emily, I will not let you!"
Cece smirked, she grabbed the chair and pushed it in the edge of the pool when she said, and she was face to face with Alison. – "Challenge accepted Ali!" (Mocking smiles) "Let's start testing your resistance to my games…" (She whispered to Alison's ear) "Let's see how much time you will be able to resist under water… let's a new game begin!"
Cece pushed Alison into the pool; Alison was struggling with the tape that was chaining her to the chair as she was dropping into the bottom of the pool.
Emily arrived to the pool but for her surprise the doors were locked with a chain and a lock; Blair arrived with the girls; Blair took the fire extinguisher from the wall and she started to hit the lock with it; she broke it.
Hanna. – "Go Blair, bad ass! I like it!"
They opened the doors but they noticed no one in that place; Spencer looked down to the pool and she yelled as she was pointing out to the pool.
Spencer yelled. – "Inside the pool!"
Emily and Blair didn't hesitate any second to get in the water; they had never swimming as fast as they did it that night; Emily cupped Alison's face with her hands and the eyes of the brunette got bigger when she noticed that Alison was completely unconscious without a sign of her breathing… Blair for other hand, she used her pocket knife in order to broke the tape and liberate Alison; the two mermaids didn't waste any time and they brought the blonde out of the pool.
Aria cried. – "She's not breathing!"
All the girls were crying beside Alison's body when Blair said.
Blair sighed. – "Move!"
Blair started to do CPR on Alison's body as she said. – "Come on blondie! Don't you dare to throw the towel…"
All the girls were in a group hug; Blair didn't want to stop to do the CPR but her efforts started to lose strength; Emily noticed it and she approached to Blair.
Emily. – "You're tired, let me try! Just tell me what to do!"
Blair. – "Ok…" (She positioned Emily's arms and indicated her how she needed to put her hands in Alison's breast) "You need to follow the beat of your heart ok…"
Emily closed her eyes and focused in the rhythm of her heart when she said. – "Ok, I got it!"
She started to do the CPR and she didn't stop until Alison opened her eyes; the blonde spilt out the water that was on her system; she incorporate herself and Emily hugged her tight.
Emily cried. – "You scared me again!"
Alison just hugged her girlfriend back and she put her head in Emily's breast in order to feel comfort.
That night Alison said everything to her friends and the cops, that how Charles was actually Charlotte who adopted the name of Cece Drake but she's actually Charles DiLaurentis and how Jessica hide him and protect him because '-A' was her biological son. The girls were shocked by the news but they felt a big relieve knowing the true identity of '-A'; Spencer wanted to make more questions but Emily said that Alison needed to rest; the paramedics arrived and they took Alison to the hospital.
(In Alison's room in the hospital)
Alison. – "Em, you should go home, I will be ok…"
Emily grabbed Alison's hand and she kissed her front-head when she said. – "No, I'm staying at your side; I will not be able to sleep if I leave you again alone…"
Alison sighed. – "Fine… but if you're going to stay, why you don't get in the bed with me…"
Emily blushed and she got in the bed with Alison, She hugged her and Alison cuddled in Emily's neck when she sighed.
Emily. – "What is wrong?"
Alison. – "I'm a little scare of this new game that '-A', I mean Cece will make us to play…"
Emily. – "I know, me too…" (She kissed Alison's front-head and their eyes met) "The last time that –A put in motion a game, I broke your heart and I almost lost you forever…"
Alison saw the concern in Emily's face and she kissed Emily in the lips and said. – "Let's not worry for the future and just enjoy the present ok…"
Emily nodded in agreement and they fell asleep as they were cuddling.
Time passed fast, everything continued the same beside the fact that Mary Drake show up more in Alison's life, she really was trying to get close to the blonde; Alison and Mary hadn't talk a lot about the past, to be honest, the blonde is scared to ask why she abandoned her; their conversation are mostly of the present and what Alison want in the future; Mary saw the interest of Alison to become a professional chef and she gave her a lot of information about some schools, between all the possibilities, Alison noticed that some of them were in Europe. Mary also noticed the particular interest of Alison for Paris and she looked for the best schools there and she said to the blonde that if she wants to study in France, she will have her entire support. Alison took all the research of Mary and said that she was going to look at it.
(In Emily's room)
Alison and Emily were seeing a movie and when Alison put her phone on the night table she noticed an envelope.
Alison. – "What is this?!" (She opened it and said with a smile) "OMG Em, did you get a scholarship in UCLA?"
Emily took the paper from Alison's hands and said. – "Yeah, it's no big deal…"
Alison smiled. – "How you can say that! Why you didn't tell me? We should celebrate it!"
Emily sighed. – "There is nothing to celebrate; I don't think that I will accept it…"
Alison confused. – "Why not?!"
Emily looked down when she said. – "Because you will stay here for another year; and how our relationship will work if we are km of distance?!"
Alison smirked. – "Well there is sex phone Em, you know…"
Emily. – "Come on Ali, I'm serious…"
Alison put herself over Emily's lap and she forced her to look at her in the eyes. – "Em, this is your dream school! You're going there is no question on it!"
Emily. – "But…"
Alison. – "No 'buts" you're going and we will make it work…"
The blonde kissed her
Emily. – "Are you sure?!"
Alison. – "I love you Em, and no '-A' neither the km of distance will change that… but I'm telling you, don't you dare to look to any other girl in bikini on California or you will be in huge troubles!"
Emily continued kissing her as she rolled themselves in the bed ; she put herself in the top when she replied to Alison.
Emily smiled. – "How can I look to anyone else if I have you…"
Alison kissed her and said. – "Good answer…"
They started to make out and it was started to get very passionate in question of minutes.
Alison asked between kisses. – "Where is your mom?"
Emily. – "She had a meeting in the church about a Christmas event… she will be back in 1hr…"
Alison smirked. – "Ahmm… 1hr will do…"
Alison undressed Emily and herself very fast; she was on top when Emily inserts her finger inside her.
Alison moaned of pleasure and said. – "Don't move; let me be the one who moves…"
Emily nodded and got really excited to see the blonde taking a cowboy position on her. Alison started to move her hips and the brunette was out of breath as she looked to her like that… Alison increased the rhythm of her movement and as she felt herself arriving to the climax, she kissed Emily deeply and she moaned in her mouth when she came.
Emily moaned. – "Oh Ali that was…"
Alison smirked. – "We still have time for round 2…"
Before Emily could say anything, the blonde's tongue was already melted in her wet low spot.
Emily. – "Ahmm… Ali…"
The blonde was enjoying sucking Emily's wet spot and in a short period of time she brought the brunette to the edge.
Emily. – "Ah.. ah… ahhh.. ahmm.. Ali… Alison! Oh god, yes! Right there!"
Emily got out all her juices when she felt her orgasm; the blonde took everything and she didn't stop to suck it until she left the brunette totally dried.
Alison lay on the bed beside Emily and she was kissing her neck as Emily was interlacing their fingers.
Emily. – "And what about you?"
Alison replied as she continued kissing Emily's neck. – "What about me?"
Emily chucked. – "What schools are you thinking to go? What do you wanna do for the future?"
Alison stopped the kisses and rubbed her nose on Emily's face as she answered. – "Mmm… I will like to study something in order to become a chef… Mary gave me some information about some schools but I still have time to think about it…"
Emily murmured. – "I can check for some culinary schools in California… what do you think?"
Alison bit Emily's ear and she started to kiss her ear as she said. – "I love that idea…"
Emily chucked and they continued to enjoy themselves…
(In the mall)
The time flew and it was already Christmas season, Alison went to the mall in order to start to check for Emily's gift. She got inside a jewelry shop.
The vendor. – "Hello, can I show you something in particular?"
Alison smiled. – "Yes; can you show me your rings please…"
(In the brew)
It has been some weeks since Emily got a job in the brew, she wanted to get more money for college and for Christmas, she wasn't sure yet what to give to Alison but she was planning to expend as much as possible on her. The brunette arrived to her shift.
Erza. – "Emily, it's great that you came earlier, please I want to present you someone who will start to work with us in the kitchen" (Emily approached and she was face to face to the woman when Erza continued to speak) "Talia Sandoval this is Emily Fields…" (They both shook hands and say their hellos)
Emily chucked. – "Nice to meet you and welcome a board…"
Talia. – "Thank you Emily, it's really nice to meet you, I count on you to show me how the coffee machine works, Erza already tried to explain me but it continues to be a mystery for me…"
Emily chucked. – "Sure, it will be my pleasure…"
(In the DiLaurentis house at night)
Alison was looking to what she bought for Emily and she showed it to Pepe.
Alison asked to her furry dog. – "So what do you thing Pepe, I know that is too soon but life is too short, I don't know what will happen in the future, I just know that no matter what, I will always love her…" (She looked to her dog and said) "So Pepe, what do you think she will say?"
Her conversation with her dog got interrupted when someone rang the front door's bell. The blonde put her little box behind her pillow and she got downstairs to open the door.
Alison. – "Aria, what are you doing here? It's late…"
(Aria was a mess; she started to cry as she sat in the stairs of Alison's house)
Alison. – "OMG, what happened, what's wrong? Talk with me…"
Aria. – "I can't…"
Alison. – "Of course you can…"
Aria cried. – "No, no I don't know why I came, this is a mistake, I should leave…"
Alison took her from the shoulder and stopped her.
Aria cried. – "Ali this is the one thing I can't tell you, I can't tell anyone…"
Alison hugger from the shoulders and said. – "I'm not anyone, I'm me… You can tell me anything…"
Aria shook her head and said. – "No, I can't! Because if I tell you, it makes you part of it and you can't be a part of this…"
Alison. – "What are you talking about? You're starting to scare me…"
Aria cried
Alison. – "Hey, hey, hey… we're best friends, we are like sisters, you're my family, what is you is me; there is nothing that you can ever say to make me let go… I love you Aria… what is it?!"
Aria took a deep breath and said out loud as she looked to the blue eyes of her friend. – "I killed someone…"
*** Music background: chorus of the son forever by the Kills***
Alison was getting a message from –A when she was hearing those shocking words of Aria.
-A message: "Ho ho ho… Christmas is coming and the true nature of your beloveds will be revealed… But the worst thing the truth can do is when you finally tell it, it doesn't send you free but locks you away forever…"
