Hello,
Thank you for following my story and thank you for the reviews ^^
I wish you the best on 2017! Happy new year! Let's hope a lot of Emison for the last 10 episodes that will come on April ^^!
Note 1: In Italics, the storyteller speaking (moi ^^)
Note 2: Like I said before the arc of these chapters is the darkest
Note 3: The scenarios of jail will be like the last episodes of season 5, also the part of the doll house, I will not get into the detail for the girls but let's say that it was as in the series but shortly and without the presence of Mona (their time on the doll house in my story will be very briefly: 3 days only); also the scenario of the last part of this chapter will be very similar to the last scenes of the episode 1 of season 6 'Game on Charles'.
Chapter 29 – Sacrifice
It has been a few days since Alison has been accused for murder and other things.
(In Jail – visiting room)
Alison was sitting with a lost look when her parents got in.
Mary. – "Ali!"
Alison got back to reality and hugged them as soon as she saw them, the girl was a mess and tears did stop to appear in her face
Alison cried. – "I didn't do anything… I didn't hurt them, I swear!"
Kenneth. – "Darling, I know, you don't need to say anything… we know that you're innocent and it will be ok, we will get you out of here, I promise…"
Alison broke the hug and said. – "How?! Emily, the police, my friends, the town don't believe me!"
Mary grabbed Alison's hands and said. – "Honey you don't need to worry what the girls or the town might think ok, right now you need to focus only on you…"
Alison took a deep breath and said. – "Yeah, you're right…"
Now that Alison was more calmed, they sat and started to talk about all the trial.
Alison. – "Did the police tell you about my blood test? Did they found any trace of the sedative which Cece used to drug me?"
Kenneth. – "Sadly, no darling, the test came negative on that…"
Alison. – "What?! How?!"
Mary. – "Well I do believe Jessica must have some cops in her side doing her dirty work… but don't worry Ali, we will found a way to prove you're innocent… just you need to stay strong ok…"
Alison gulped. – "Ok…" (Her voice showed fear for the next sentence) "So… are they accused me for Shanna's murder and intent of Talia's murder too?"
Kenneth sighed. – "Spencer Hasting is also accusing you for drugging her against her will… there is a video… everybody is pointing you as the culprit… all that girls who called themselves as your friends…"
Alison gulped. – "Even Emily?"
Both parents looked to themselves and they turned to look the blue eyes of their child when they nodded to confirm it. Alison watery-eyes showed more sadness when she confirmed that Emily wasn't in her side
Kenneth. – "Darling, like your mom told you, don't you worry about Emily or those girls… just focus on you and that you have our complete support…"
Kenneth grabbed Alison's hand and that gave a little of comfort to the girl.
Mary. – "You're not alone Ali, you have us and also your friend Blair… she has testified in your favor and brought to the police all the research that she did for you about Talia… let's hope that will help…"
Alison smiled. – "Yeah… she's a real friend… but even if we prove Talia's lie, there is still the murder of Shanna, I don't get why I'm the 1st suspect…?"
Kenneth. – "Well according with the ballistic, the arm that you had in yours hands, it's the same weapon that shot Shanna…"
Alison. – "So what?! Does the police really think that I'm so stupid to murder 2 people with the same gun and left my fingerprints on it… if I'm as they said… a master mind… I wouldn't be so sloppy…"
Kenneth. – "Darling, it's obvious that you're being framed, we just need to prove it… there have been new developments that we can use on our favor…"
Alison. – "Yeah… like what?"
Mary. – "The supposed body of that girl Shanna disappeared from the morgue…"
Alison. – "What?!"
Kenneth. – "Look darling, I'm putting all my best lawyers working on your case, perhaps this lack of the cops loosing Shanna's body we could use it on your favor… even then, please do not say a word without the presence of our lawyers and us ok…"
Alison nodded. – "Ok… I promise…"
A cop appeared and informed them that the time was out for visit. Both parents stood up to leave and Alison ran to hug her mom and she hugged her tight… the cop left both women a little more of time, Kenneth waited out site.
Alison cried as she hugged Mary. – "Mommy… I'm scared…"
Mary with watery-eyes said. – "I know, I know…" (She put little kisses on Alison's front-head, she cupped Alison's face and she looked at her with warm eyes) "I will get you out of here no matter what… I promise you… my baby…. Just hold on ok…"
Alison nodded and they continued hugging for a while.
Mary and Kenneth got out of the building and left in separate ways; as Mary arrived to her car, she received a call.
(On the phone)
Mary. – "Do you have her?"
Blair. – "Yeah… I brought her to the motel you told me…"
Mary. – "Good, thank you so much Blair, I apologize to ask you something like this…"
Blair sighed. – "It's ok… I care a lot about Ali… I would do anything for her…"
Mary smiled. – "Thanks for being a good friend and for carrying so much for her…"
Blair. – "So what now?"
Mary. – "You don't need to worry, I'm taking it from her…"
Blair. – "Ok then, I will see if I can found something about the Shanna thing…"
Mary. – "I will appreciate it but please be careful…"
Blair. – "Always… "
They hung up and Mary entered in her car and drove towards that motel.
(In Jail)
Alison was in the laundry room in jail doing the work assigned; she has been trying to keep a low profile and don't get in any problem but even in the orange jail uniform, she continued looking beautiful and that brought the attention of some population in jail.
Alison was pressing clothes when she noticed that some women entered into the room.
Prisoner #1. – "Well, well, well… what we have here… the new girl… don't you love new flesh… and this in particular is so damn beautiful… isn't girls…"
The other women laughed and Alison continued pressing the clothes and she just looked to them from the corner of her eyes in order to see how many they were, 3 counting the leader too. Suddenly, Alison took a deep breath as soon as she heard the lock on the door but she continued acting as the others weren't there; the leader of the group didn't like that Alison was ignoring them, she was the 1st in approach to Alison; as she walked towards the blonde she started to talk.
Prisoner #1. – "Come on blondie, are you not going to say anything?" (She put her hand on Alison's shoulder and said) "I'm planning to have a great time with you…"
*** Music background: Woman by Wolfmother***
Alison talked with a bitter tone without turning to see the other woman. – "I would remove your hand of my shoulder if I was you… you really don't want to mess with me… please leave I don't want to fight…"
Prisoner #1 mocked and she grabbed Alison's arm in order to approach her and as Alison turned towards this woman, she punched the prisoner with the clothes iron. The woman fell to the ground and as she saw the blood in her head, she got really angry.
Prisoner #1 yelled. – "Take her down!"
The other two women approached at the same time, Alison throw the clothes iron in the face of one of them and she avoid the punch of the other and she could be the 1st to punch glanced her chin.
Prisoners. –"You little punk!"
Alison smirked. – "Come on bitches, bring it on!"
Alison stood straight, eyes bulging with rage, stared to her opponents and the fight continued.
(In a motel's room)
Talia started to open her eyes and she started to get more conscious about her actual situation; she was tied with tape to a chair.
Mary. – "Good, you're awake now…"
Talia looked up and she noticed the other woman that was in front of her.
Talia. – "You're the woman who was with Alison the other day in the brew…"
Mary. – "I'm her mother…"
They looked in the eyes for a moment and then Mary turned and put in front of the other woman a table; on the table she opened a suitcase and started to get out what was inside, a lot of tools: clamps, surgery utensils, a huge bottle of some liquid and a syringe)
Mary. – "Do you feel like talking yet?!"
Talia mumbled. – "A simple old woman like you would never know how to use any of those things… I don't know what you are playing here but… I-I-I'm not afraid…"
Mary nailed the syringe in the bottle of the liquid and start to full the syringe with it as she replied.
Mary. – "You're right… normally I wouldn't threaten a person with death by ammonia injection…" (Mocking smiles) "It doesn't sound like something that's in a kitchen book, doesn't it?! But you messed with the wrong girl…"
Talia. – "I see, it's amazing what a woman would do for her kids… but your act of mama bear doesn't scare me!"
Mary. – "You got me… I'm just an old crazy mama bear who hunt you…" (She nailed the syringe in Talia's neck and she looked her in the eyes when she continued talking) "And who has expended the last few days reaching all over the internet over 200 different ways to torture and kill you…"
She approached and Talia got scared of the crazy look on Mary.
Mary smirked. - "Afraid yet?!"
Talia gulped.- "I'm not talking…"
Mary smirked. – "I'm only getting started …"
(In Aunt Carol's house – Property of the DiLaurentis)
Jessica was sitting close to the fireplace with a cup of wine in her hand when she noticed the presence of someone else in the room; she started to talk without turning back.
Jessica. – "Really, it took you far enough to found me…"
Mary. – "How you can be so cruel with Alison!"
Jessica mocked and turned in order to see the woman in the eyes. – "Put your shit together sis… who's talking about cruelty…" (She pointing out the unconscious damaged body of Talia who was beside Mary) "I'm a little impress I didn't think you've it on you…"
Mary said with anger in her voice. – "I left her in your care because beside all ours differences I believed you when you told me that you would treat her as your child…"
Jessica. – "I gave Alison the best life that I could…"
Mary. – "How did this happen? I need to know, I need answers…"
Jessica. – "It's not my fault! You gave birth and you left… I did try to like her but the way Kenneth preferred her beside my kids… beside my Charles… its Alison's fault that my baby became a monster!"
Mary. – "Alison is responsible for nothing! Your kid is a psychopath! Yeah, Kenneth shouldn't abounded him in Radly but you shouldn't blame Alison for the actions of Kenneth or mines… really I don't get why you have so much hate in your heart… you've had the perfect life…"
Jessica. – "Really?! A perfect life?! Do you have any idea how was it, to grew up as your shadow!"
Mary. – "What are you saying?"
Jessica. – "All the men in my life had loving you more than me… 1st Dad, you were always her favorite and then Kenneth… when you left I thought that I wouldn't have to live under your shadow anymore but then your damn daughter came and she also took all the love of everybody to herself… even mom loved her more than she ever loved me, even my son Jason preferred her and because of her he's in a coma! You and your daughter… I don't get how you do it to put everybody under yours feet…"
Mary. – "So what! Was really so big your envy and your jealousy over us that you've been tormenting my child all these years! Who do you think you're!"
Jessica. – "I'm more a mother for Alison that you will ever be…"
Mary. – "All these years being a master mind… and you got sloppy contracting this women Talia in order to make my child looks as a killer…"
Jessica smirked. – "I will admit that me and Cece, we hired this woman in order to incriminate Alison…"
Jessica approached to Mary and grabbed her from the arm and she unbuttoned Mary's blouse and took the hidden microphone and she put it very close to her lips when she said.
Jessica smirked. – "This will be the last nice thing that I will ever do for Alison… so here I go… Talia lied, Alison never attacked her, Talia lied because we paid her to do it…"
Mary confused. – "Why are you saying now the truth… what are you complotting now?"
Jessica smirked and before Mary could see it coming she got out a gun and started pointing out Mary with it.
Jessica smirked. – "You're not seeing the big picture Mary… but believe me when I told you that there is no worse pain that lose the love of those that are close to you… you took everything from me… and the pain that I felt… that pain and even more will be the pain that your daughter will suffer…"
Mary. – "So are you killing me now? If killing me was your target, why wait until now?!"
Jessica. – "Because you can't miss what you never had… you will die and Alison will lose again someone close to her…"
Mary was going to shoot but she didn't expect the presence of someone else in the property
Kenneth said as he pointing out Jessica with a gun. – "Drop it Jessica or I will shoot you!"
Jessica smirked. – "You don't have it in you…"
Kenneth. – "Don't push me to do it…"
Jessica yelled. – "You will always prefer them! Her and Alison are your precious treasures! Well tonight you will lose one!"
(Sound of one shot)
(Emily's house, next morning)
Emily heard her alarm sounds and she opened her eyes, she had bags and dark shadows on her eyes; since the day that the police had taking Alison in custody she's being crying all the nights; say that she was a mess it was a short description to describe her right now. It was Saturday so she went downstairs in her pajamas. She was in the kitchen making coffee when her mom approached.
Pam. – "Hi honey, are you not going to run this morning?"
Emily sighed. – "Hi mom, no… I don't have energy to do it…"
Pam concerned. – "Honey, I'm worry about you… look at you…"
Emily sighed. – "I'm sorry…"
Pam hugged Emily and said with a soft voice. – "Honey, you don't need to apologize, I'm just… I don't know how to help you…"
Emily. – "Me neither… I don't know what to do…"
Both women where hugging but something on the tv caught the attention of both women, especially Emily's attention.
(On TV)
Reporter. – "Here we're in the crime scene… this is a house of the DiLaurentis's family… we just came to receive the confirmation of the police that was in this house that last night Jessica DiLaurentis, a fugitive from justice died after confessing that she contracted Talia Sandoval in order to incriminate Alison DiLaurentis on a crime… Right now Talia Sandoval is been taken on custody to declare and more details of all this family drama will be revealed on our special coverage of tonight…"
Both women were astonished of what they were seeing and hearing.
Pam. – "Can you believe these reporters?! They're taking the news as it was a reality show… its heartless…"
Emily murmured with watery-eyes. – "Talia lied…"
(In Spencer's room)
After the news of Jessica death, all the girls met in Spencer's house to talk about the situation.
Emily impatience. – "Where is Aria?!"
Hanna. – "Calm down 'killer'… she said that she was coming…"
Spencer. – "I'm going downstairs for coffee, do you want something?"
Both girls shook their heads and Spencer left for a moment.
Hanna said as she looked to Emily. – "This doesn't change everything Em… there's still the drug thing of Spence and Shanna's murder…"
Emily said with the arm crossed. – "She was telling the truth… she didn't do anything to Talia and I'm sure now that she didn't do anything to Spencer or Shanna…"
Hanna. – "So what are you saying?! That's more credible to say that Aria killed Shanna! That little one wouldn't kill even a butterfly! She…"
Aria said with a shaky voice as she entered into the room. – "She killed Shanna… I mean… I-I-I shot Shanna by accident.. I… I… I killed her…"
Spencer who was behind Aria said. – "What are you saying Aria? Did you really kill Shanna? Why are you speaking until now?!"
Aria started to cry and she sat in Spencer's bed as she confessed everything from the night of the incident, how she went to look for Alison and the blonde kept her secret, how she made a deal with Cece in order to protect Mike; she said everything and as she confessed the girls were looking at her in shock but Emily's face showed more anger than shock.
Aria cried. – "I'm being feeling like shit since then… I can't continue lying to you guys…" (She looked up to Emily and said) "Especially to you Em… I'm sorry…"
Emily laughed with irony. – "You're sorry?!"
The girls noticed the anger in Emily's face and they tried to calm her down.
Hanna. – "Em, calm down…"
Emily grabbed Aria from the arm with violence as she said. – "We're going right now to the police and you will say the truth!"
Aria. – "No Em, I can't… I can't put at risk Mike's life…"
Emily yelled with an anger voice. – "But you can put at risk Alison's life, it's that it?!"
Spencer. – "Em, please calm down… we need to get a plan in order to ensure Mike's safety before doing anything…"
Emily. – "NO! Alison is in jail for a murder she didn't commit!"
The girls continued discussing for a long time.
(In Jail, in the visiting room)
Hanna. – "This feels strange, we here with our tail between our legs…"
Emily said with anger. – "Don't you think that at least we own her an apology?! She's on a trial for a murder that she didn't commit! She's going down for it!" (She huffed) "Aria should be there too, she should come forward!"
Spencer. – "And she will Em, once we can be sure that Mike is in a safety place… please… Erza and Caleb are taking care of Mike; you need to be patient…"
Emily was going to reply but her throat got mute when she saw the blonde entering into the room; Emily's eyes got bigger and with tears as she looked to the beaten Alison in front of her; the blonde had a slashed lip, multiple bruises in her arms and her faces.
Emily said with a shaky voice. – "OMG! Who did this to you? What happen?!"
Emily tried to approach and caresses Alison's head but the blonde immediately push her away with anger.
Alison said with a bitter tone of voice. – "Don't touch me!"
Emily. – "Ali… I-I-I'm so sorry…"
Alison huffed as she sat in the chair. – "Fuck off with your shitty pity! What do you want!"
Emily gulped and she sat beside the other two girls, she continued looking to Alison who was sitting in front of her, just the table was separating them but for the 1st time in a long time, Emily felt herself more separated from Alison that she never felt before.
Spencer gulped. – "Are you ok?"
Alison smirked. – "I'm fine… never better… don't you see it…"
Hanna gulped. – "What's like?"
Emily. – "Hanna!"
Alison smirked. – "Do you want me to sugarcoat it or tell you the truth… It's worse of you can ever imagine…"
The girls were speechless
Alison huffed. – "Any way… why are you here?! Are you going to blame me for anything else?!"
Emily. – "No! Off course not!"
The brunette tried to grab Alison's hand but Alison pull away before Emily could grab her; Emily just bit her lip and pull away.
Spencer. – "We're here to apologize… Aria told us the truth about Shanna"
Alison. – "Where is she?"
Spencer. – "She will come… just not now…"
The girls continued talking and apologizing for a while. Alison heard them with a lost look in her face; she was lost in her own thoughts until she heard Emily's voice.
Emily. – "Ali…"
Alison got back to reality and she said. – "Is that all or there is something else you wanna say?"
Spencer. – "Well basically that's why we came…"
Alison stood up and yelled. – "Guards!"
Emily said as she tried to touch Alison's arm. – "Ali…"
Alison pulled away again and she said as she looked at her with anger. – "I told you don't touch me!"
Alison yelled. – "Guards!"
A cop approached
Alison. – "We're done here… please guide me to my cell…"
Emily cried. – "Ali please…"
The blonde started to walk and when she was in the frame of the door, she said without looking the girls in the face.
Alison. – "On court… I don't want to see you there… any one of you…"
The blonde left and Emily's tears didn't stop.
The next day, Emily attempted to visit Alison alone but when she arrived she found Kenneth.
Kenneth. - "Emily, what are you doing here?!"
Emily gulped. - "Hello Sir, I-I would like to visit Alison…"
Kenneth. - "NO!"
Emily looked at him in the eyes
Kenneth. - "Do you remember what I told you Emily? I said 'take care of my Alison because she's the most precious thing that I have' and what did you do?! You betrayed her!"
Emily. - "I-I-I'm sorry Sir…"
Kenneth. - "Leave! You have no business here! My daughter should be with someone loyal as Blair… that girl really deserve my daughter! She had been working hard and she found some evidence that can get my Alison from jail…"
Emily. – "Really?! Those are wonderful news…"
Kenneth sighed. – "Even if my daughter gets out, I'm forbidding you to see her! She deserves to be with someone loyal!"
Emily gulped and looked down, she murmured. - "Yeah you're right… she deserves someone loyal… she deserves better… I'm sorry for perturbing you Sir…"
Emily cleared her tears, turned and left.
That same day that Emily and Kenneth talked, Alison got free because Blair found a video of a service station that showed that Shanna was actually alive, with the video, it was enough evidence to let Alison be in her home until the trial; their parents were happier because Alison's future appeared to improve, without a body, with Jessica & Talia testimony and with the recent video of Shanna's in a gas station, there were more chances to get a good result in favor for Alison.
(In Spencer's barn at night)
Hanna. – "Have any one of you seen her?"
Emily. – "No…"
Aria. – "No… I don't dare to look at her in the eyes… but I'm happy to know that she's in her home again…"
Emily huffed and ran a hand through her hair; she was really pissed off with Aria. There was an awkward silence when Spencer arrived.
Hanna. – "Finally Hastings! Why did you send us a sms at this hour? What is the emergency?"
Spencer confused. – "What are you talking about? I was with Toby when I received a sms from Emily asking me to come here…"
Emily. – "What?! I didn't send you anything?!"
Before they could notice it, a lot of smoke started to appear in the entire barn and the girls lost conscious immediately.
It has been 3 days since the girls have been taken and since then the police has increase the security with Alison, everything was pointing out that was –A who took them and the detective Tanner was trying to use Alison as a bait; Alison's parents weren't very ok with the idea but Alison's asked them to agree.
(In Alison's house)
A lot of cops and equipment was in the house; everybody was expecting that –A would fall in the trap and make a call in order to track him. What no one knows it's that the boys (Toby, Erza and Caleb) reached Alison and asked her for help in order to get a plan and rescue the girls; the blonde hesitated for one second, why she should help them when they abounded her and betrayed her but the truth it's that knowing Emily in danger was something that she couldn't handle anymore. She decided to make team with them without saying a word to her parents or Blair.
Toby approached to Alison and murmured. – "So are you ok with the plan?"
Alison murmured. – "Yeah… let's get over it…"
The plan went as planned, Alison received a call and the police assumed that was from –A. Tanner locked Alison in one room of the house but she sneaked out and went outside to the car where Erza and Caleb were waiting for her.
(In Erza's car)
Alison. – "It worked; they believed that it was –A; who made the call…"
Erza. – "Good, Toby sent me a sms, saying that we're on the clear… Are you sure that Cece received the message about the rock and all…"
Alison. – "Believe me, she's going to be in the kissing rock, she will not lose her chance to get her hands on me…"
Caleb. – "Ali, listen… we're gonna be tracking you every step of the way… please put those shoes, they have a tracking device that will give us the signal of where you're… and like that we will be able to track the girls…"
Alison took the shoes and said. – "Ok… you know what they say… give the girl a good pair of shoes and she will conquer the world right?! Let's go…"
(In the forest)
Alison arrived to the kissing rock and very close to it, she found a car, she got into the car and the GPS started to indicate her a direction, she followed the instructions of –A without hesitation. As the blonde was driving, the boys (Erza and Caleb) were following her with a distance but they panicked when in a moment the signal got fixed in a point. They went out of the car and found out the empty car with Alison's clothes on the trunk.
Erza. – "Damn it! We lost her too! –A asked her to change her clothes!"
Caleb. – "Yeah… but look!" (He was pointing out the shoes which were on the ground) "She positioned the shoes in this direction; I guess that she was trying to indicate us where did she go… Come on let's go in that direction…"
As the same time that Alison, Caleb and Erza were looking for the girls, in the Doll house, the girls created a fire in order to distract –A; they did found a possible escape route but the door was looked; they were screaming and pushing the door when suddenly, the door opened and they could be free.
They went out and they noticed Erza and Caleb. Aria hugged Erza and Hanna hugged Caleb; it took a few minutes when Toby appeared between the bushes with some cops and he immediately hugged Spencer; everybody was hugging at exception of Emily. Erza noticed Emily alone and it hit him.
Erza. – "Oh god, we forgot about Alison!"
Emily. – "What?!"
Toby. – "She's not with you?! Where she is?!"
Caleb. – "I don't know, we were tracking her but then we lost her, we went into the forest looking for her but then we saw the smoke and we came here immediately…"
The boys were arguing and the other girls approached.
Spencer whistled in order to have their attention and said. – "What is coming on?!"
Erza. – "We didn't know how to found you so we use Alison as a bait and she brought us here with you guys…"
Emily's eyes got bigger and she grabbed Toby from the collar of her uniform and said.
Emily cried. – "What?! Why?! Where is she?! Toby answer me!"
Toby gulped. – "I don't know… but she doesn't have to be very far… we will found her…"
He called to some cops and they started to search for Alison.
*** Music background: The Sun by The Naked and Famous***
(In a bunker underground)
Alison started to open her eyes and she saw everything very blurry. She tried to move but she noticed that she was chained and tied to what looked like a chirurgic table. She heard some noises and started to talk.
Alison. – "Who is there? Is it you Cece?!
(Mocking smiles)
Alison yelled – "Show your face!"
Between the shadows, Cece appeared with other black hoodies at her side.
Cece smirked – "You are in no position to demand Ali… do you think that you're in charge?!" (Mocking smiles) "It's adorable to see how wrong you're…"
Alison gulped. – "What do you want from me?"
Cece smirked.- "You know Barbie… we like your grit… being hard to break makes you an excellent toy…"
She approached enough to run her hands through Alison's hair and the devious look in her eyes sent shivers down Alison's spine.
Cece said with a devious smile. – "But I wonder how long you can hold on… how much you can take…" (Her tone changed to a bitter tone) "Mom died because of you! You will pay for that right now! ... Leave me alone with her… you will have your turn…"
The other black hoodies left the room and as soon as they closed the door, all of them could hear the screams of pain of the blonde.
