Chapter 84 - Obsessions
*** Emily's narrative (voice-over) ***
There's this little person inside our heads, capable of doing things we don't ever want to imagine. She is us, just so much worse. And we lock this part of us, deep down on our heads, afraid of what could happen if we listen to its voice, but, no matter how hard we try, we can't really keep her locked forever… especially when we get obsessed with something… Someone…
(At the DiLaurentis-Fields house)
Alison says with an annoying voice when she is making breakfast. - "So, remind me why I have to do this…?"
Emily replies with a smile. - "Because you love me…"
The blonde finishes cooking and put the food on the table, she pecks the lips of her wife with a tender kiss, both of them, smile with it…
Alison smirks. - "You know, you can't always use that argument to get your way…"
Emily giggles, and, Alison just chuckles and shakes her head, her dear mermaid is so damn cute. They sit with the boys and get breakfast together. And, while they are eating…
Emily. - "So, the next competition is in two weeks. You need to make sure that Sidney takes into account the preliminary list of names I'm giving you, she has to put as the anker…"
The brunette starts giving precise instructions, she may be on maternity leave, but, she still feels responsible for the team. Emily talks, and, talks, and, the blonde just nods while she helps their kids to eat…
Emily. - "Are you listening to me, Ali…?"
Alison nods, eyes focused on cleaning Wayne's mouth. - "Sure…"
The brunette raises an eyebrow, still not convinced that Alison is putting attention, so, she asks…
Emily. - "What I just said…?"
Alison replies while she cleans the messy mouth of her little boy. - "Yada, Yada… compel Sydney to follow your instructions, Yada, yada…"
Emily huffs, not happy at all with the answer of her wife. The blonde turns her attention towards her wife, she kisses Emily's cheek and says...
Alison. - "Relax, Em. I have your back, besides, since I saved her ass, Sidney has become my biggest fan, she will do whatever I ask…" (big smirk) "I could ask her to rob a bank, and, I'm pretty sure she would do it, without hesitation…" (little laughs) "God! This brings me back to old times…"
The blonde talks with a cocky voice; it's like being on high school all over again, with Queen Ali, dictating what to do. At first, Alison was a little annoyed by Sydney. She was too clingy, always following her like a lost puppy. But, Alison has to admit that she likes the extra attention and the adoration. Being idolized by someone, it has always been Alison's Achilles ankle, even if the blonde will never admit it… But, being her old self, Alison, the Queen Bee with her minions, it's something that the brunette doesn't like it… a lot…
Emily mumbles. - "Maybe I should talk to her and leave you out of this…"
Everybody has finished eating, so, the blonde starts cleaning the table when she says…
Alison. - "Nonsense, you shouldn't move too much, you are a few days to give birth. You can barely walk…"
And, the blonde was not kidding, Emily has this huge belly, ready to explode at any second…
Alison softly kisses Emily's head and says. – "Don't worry, Em, everything will be okay. Trust me…"
And, Emily smiles because she trusts Alison, but, should she really not be worried…? Nothing in the entire world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance of what is happening in front of our eyes, and, we're too blind to see it…
(At the Brew)
Alison. – "So, you will…"
Sydney finishes her sentence. – "I'll use Emily's list as the final list. Is that what you want, right?"
Alison smiles and nods. And, Sydney smiles more, because she's responsible of that smile. Making happy her dear Queen is her biggest priority these days…
Alison stands up and says. – "Well, now that is settled…"
Sydney pouts sadly. – "You're leaving…"
Alison. - "I should be going, since my assistant left, my office is very chaotic…"
Sydney. – "You don't have an assistant? Who could ever leave your side…?"
Alison smiles. – "Well, Kara was a great assistant…"
Sydney twists the napkin she has between her fingers, she loves to see Alison smiles, but, she hates, really hates when the blonde' smile is caused by someone who's not her…
Alison. – "But, she and my partner fell in love. Lena lives in another city, very far from here, so, she took Kara with her. And, I couldn't say no, I have never seen Kara so happy, so…"
Sydney. – "So, you let her go, because you saw her in love…"
Alison nods
Sydney. – "That is so noble from you…"
Alison chuckles. – "And, stupid. Now, I've plenty of work, and, zero assistance to deal with it. And, with all the work in the house…" (Sighs) "I'm really behind in so many things…"
Sydney. – "I could help…"
Alison frowns. – "Huh?"
Sydney holds Alison's hand, squeezing it very tight when she says with lots of determination. – "I will be your assistant!"
Alison. – "But, you've your work at school…?"
Sydney. – "The work in the pool is not so much. I've plenty of free time…" (big smile) "And, what better way to spend my free time, than with you…"
Alison laughs nervously because Sydney' smile is a little creepy, and, the spark in Sydney's eyes, it brings the chillis to Alison…
Sydney squeezes tighter and tighter Alison's hand while she says without stop. – "I can do it! I'll do it! I can be your right hand! Let me be your right hand! I will serve you better than anyone else, I'll do everything for you! Anything! Let me! Please!"
Alison mumbles. – "Sydney, my hand… you're squeezing it too hard…"
It was like if she was in a state of trance, she wasn't conscious of how strong she was holding Alison's hand, till…
Alison says loudly with an angry voice. – "Sydney! My hand!"
Sydney releases Alison's hand and says. – "Oh, sorry… I…."
Alison massages her hand, she frowns, and, stares at the girl with a confused look. The Queen Bee has no idea of what just happened…
Sydney. – "Oh god, Ali! I'm so sorry, really sorry! I just got too excited! So, thrilled with the idea of being your assistant…"
Alison takes a deep breath. – "I should go…"
The blonde tries to take the bill to pay it, but, Sydney insists to pay their coffees as an apology. Alison nods and gets ready to leave, but…
Sydney. – "Ali…"
Alison looks at her in the eyes…
Sydney. – "Please, do not hate me…"
Alison mumbles. – "I don't hate you…"
Once again, that creepy smile appears on Sydney's lips, and, Alison gulps hard, feeling a cold chill running all over her body…
(Alison's phone rings)
Alison on the phone. – "Hey Blair, what's up?" (Surprised) "What?! Right now?! Okay, I'm on my way…"
Sydney. – "Something happened…?"
Alison. – "I've to go, Spence is giving birth right now…"
The blonde turns away, she walks fast, almost running… running from something? Someone?
Sydney waves her hand, she yells. – "See you soon, Ali!"
Everybody looks at the crazy girl, yelling 'bye' while the blonde keeps going, without turning back…
*** Blair's narrative's (voice over) ***
We get obsessed, getting worried about everything, about every possible scenario that could happen, but, in the end, when life comes through; when all the waiting, all the anticipation emerges in one little person… we understand why people become obsessed with babies…
(At the hospital)
Blair smiles, holding the baby girl between her arms. – "OMG! She's the perfection in real life…" (The baby smiles to her, and, Blair says) "OMG! You're so perfect!"
Spencer smiles. – "She's really pretty…"
They were settled in a private room, holding their little girl for the 1st time, when the other girls got in…
Aria. – "Can we get in?"
Spencer nods
Hanna. – "Geez Spencer, you look like crap…"
Spencer. – "You would look like me after more than 12hrs of labor!"
Emily caresses the little cheek of the baby and says. – "But, look, it was all worthy…"
Alison stares at the baby and says. – "And, what is the name of this little angel…?"
Spencer. – "Margot…"
The girls smile
Blair pouts. – "I voted for Robin…"
Alison smiles. – "I like Robin…"
Spencer rolls her eyes. – "It's Margot!" (She sees the sad pout of her wife and says) "But, we could give her 'Robin' as a middle name, even if I think that Robin is more for a boy…"
Blair. – "Or, the next one if it's a boy, we could name him Robin?"
Spencer frowns. – "Next one?! I just came to push a baby out of my body and you're already thinking about putting another one?!"
Alison teases. – "Well, Blair could be the one getting pregnant…"
Blair frowns. – "What?! Me?!"
Spencer smiles. – "I like that idea, I approve…"
Blair. – "What?!"
Everybody chuckles with the shocked face of the young doctor…
Hanna rubs her belly and says. – "Looks like its season of babies…" (She looks at Emily and says) But you will go definitely before me…"
Emily nods and smiles, she leans her head over Alison shoulder and says. – "In some weeks…"
Alison nods. – "Yeah, in a few weeks from 5, we will become a pack of 7…"
Emily whispers into Alison's ear. – "And, then, why not 10…?"
Alison looks at her wife in shock and says. – "What?! You've more babies?!"
Emily giggles, she doesn't say 'yes', but, she doesn't say 'no' either. Everyone was talking about babies, so, this was the perfect moment to say…
Aria. – "I, I've something to announce…"
(Later at Emison's house)
After putting the boys to sleep, the couple was making the bed when they start talking…
Alison. – "Can you believe it? Aria & Noel, having a baby…"
Emily. – "Well, they got engaged in Spencer & Blair's wedding…"
Alison. – "I know, but, it looks like everyone has a fever for babies, right now…"
Emily rubs her big belly and says. – "And, what is wrong with that? Babies are wonderful…"
Alison smirks. – "Yeah, till they look and act like me…"
Emily. – "Ali…"
Alison. – "Em, I've no clue what we are going to do if the girls end being like me…"
Emily. – "You mean: beautiful, brave, with a big heart, and, a strong will?"
Alison. – "No, I mean: little Queen Bees, mean, selfish, with no limits…"
Emily reaches Alison's arm and says. – "Ali, we have talked about this, you don't need to obsess about that…"
Alison. – "I just don't know how to deal with a mini version of me, Em. I don't know if I'm prepared for that…"
Emily. – "We felt also overwhelmed when we knew we were having 3 boys. And, look at us now, they are perfect…"
Alison smiles thinking about their boys. – "Yes, they're…"
Emily kisses Alison's cheek and says. – "Stop worrying, everything will be fine…"
And, that night Alison goes to bed, holding her wife between her arms, really believing that everything was going to be fine. But, the next day, Alison arrives at her office, she was drinking the coffee she picked up at the Brew on her way to work, and, when she was leaning the cup of coffee to her lips, the plastic cup falls to the floor when Alison jumps, freaked out to see that someone else is in her office, someone she wasn't expecting to see there…
(At Alison's office)
Alison snaps. – "What the hell?!"
Sydney smiles. – "Hi, Ali..." (She stands beside Alison's desk and says) "I already cleaned your desk and…" (She offers a cup of coffee and says) "I make you coffee…"
Alison. – "What are you doing here?"
Sydney. – "What do you mean? I'm your new assistant…"
Alison. – "I never…"
Sydney. – "Oh, your blouse, you got stains of coffee…" (She runs towards the door and says) "Stay here, I'll take care of everything…"
The girl leaves, and, Alison is still in shock…
Alison mumbles. – "What the hell is happening…?!"
The blonde wasn't pleased with Sydney presence at first, but, as days pass by, Sydney devotion and her obsession to make everything perfect to please her Queen, it did pull the trick with Alison. And, before knowing, Sydney was by Alison side, all the time, but, somehow, that wasn't enough anymore for Sydney, no, she wanted more… so much more…
Sydney. – "Your appointment of this afternoon cancelled…"
Alison smiles. – "Great! So, I will be able to go home with Emily sooner…"
Sydney nods, she depicts a fake smile, while, deep inside, she's huffing, jealous of how Alison's face glow of happiness every time that she thinks or talks about Emily…
Sydney gets closer to Alison's desk and says while she sees all the pictures in it, all the pictures of Emily. – "You really love her…"
Alison smiles. – "More than anything…"
Sydney clenches her jaw, anger getting over her when her eyes stare at the happy photo of Alison with Emily. It should be her, the one wrapped between Alison's arms in that picture, that's what Sydney thinks in her head. So taken by the jealousy and this fixation she has over Alison, that, she's taken by surprise when the blonde asks…
Alison. – "Have you ever fell in love, Sydney?"
Sydney. – "Huh?" (She turns her head towards Alison, their eyes meet, and, she replies) "I…" (big smile and a shy voice) "I'm in love, right now, actually…"
Alison raises an eyebrow. – "Really? Who is the lucky man?"
Sydney looks down at the floor, she giggles while she says. – "Actually, it's a 'She', and, I'm the lucky one for having her in my life…"
Alison. – "Wow, I never thought that you were into…" (She shakes her head and says) "Never mind, great for you..." (She closes her laptop, she gets ready to leave and says) "I'll finish this at home, you should go home too; spend the rest of the afternoon with this girl you love…"
Sydney doesn't reply, she just nods sadly because she knows that she can't spend the afternoon with the one she loves…
Alison stands under the door and says. – "You're doing a great job, Sydney…"
Sydney smiles
Alison. – "But, life is more than just work, so, make sure to spend all the time you can with the people you love…"
The blonde leaves, and, Sydney stays there alone, thinking about what Alison said. She grabs the picture of Alison & Emily, holding it between her hands, she says with a serious look…
Sydney. – "Oh, I'll… I'm planning to spend all my time with you, I want to spend all my life with you, Ali…" (She puts her finger over Emily's face in the picture and says) "I just need to erase someone from our picture first…" (big devious smile)
*** Alison's narrative (voice-over) ***
Everybody has a devil inside, one little voice that pushes us to do despicable things. Over the years, I've dealt with so many demons, my inner demons, the demons of others, but, I'll never get used to deal with the most dangerous and powerful thing in the world… love… unconditional love…
(At the house of Emison, at night)
Emily. – "Everything is okay, Ali? You got home earlier…"
Alison teases. – "And, what? You didn't have the time to hide your lover in the closet…?"
Emily rolls her eyes, she playfully hit Alison shoulder and says. – "You know I don't like that kind of jokes…"
Alison smirks, she pecks Emily lips, but, when Emily put her arms around Alison's neck, the soft kiss got very passionate in a question of seconds…
Emily moans. – "Ali… I need you…"
Alison mumbles under the kiss. – "Where are the boys…?"
Emily. – "My parents took them to the park…" (She moans like a cat in heat when Alison attacks her neck) "Ali…"
Maybe an hour, or, at least 30 minutes they have. No matter how much time they have, Alison will make the most of it. The blonde carefully guides Emily to sit on the sofa in the living room, the brunette immediately opens her legs, and, Alison doesn't waste time in taking off Emily's panties…
Alison teases. – "You're gushing…"
Emily is too horny to say a coherent sentence, just moans, and, whimpers get out of her mouth, and, that awakes the horny animal in Alison, so, the blonde plunges her face in Emily's folds, and, starts doing her magic on her dear mermaid…
Emily tilts her head back, pushing Alison's head hard against her wet spot when she says. – "God, Ali! Yes, yes, yes! Right there!"
Emily hips move, up and down with a sudden jerk when the brunette feels her 1st orgasm getting closer and closer…
Emily mumbles. – "Ahmmm…" (She bites her lips and closes her eyes, a wave of pleasure is going to hit her in any second, so, she moans) "Ali! I…"
Emily's eyes get bigger of shock and mumbles. – "Oooh…"
The brunette is not the only one feeling it, Alison pulls back, she coughs loudly, while she tries to clean her face…
Alison mumbles. – "Your juices taste different, and, it's a lot, I…."
Emily looks at all the water and mumbles. – "I think my water just broke…"
Alison. – "What?!"
Emily whines with the contractions and says very loudly. – "ALIIIIIII!"
Alison. – "Oh, okay, okay!"
The blonde quickly gets the bag, they call Blair and from that moment, everything passes so fast that Alison didn't make the time to change or clean herself till…
(At the hospital)
Hanna frowns. – "You smell funny, Ali…"
Alison. – "I do…?"
Aria. – "You have stains of something in your face and…?"
Alison gets red, just remembering that she was under Emily when the brunette started to get into labor…
Spencer frowns, putting one & one together. – "Don't tell me that…"
Alison avoids the topic and says while she walks away. – "I should go, and, look for Blair…"
The girls see her leaving, and, talk…
Hanna. – "Geez, how good Alison must be with her mouth that she triggered the birth of the babies…"
Aria puts her hands over her ears and says. – "Jesus Hanna! Stop talking!"
Hanna shrugs. – "What?! It's obvious that she was under Emily when…"
Spencer. – "We don't need to talk about it…"
Hanna. – "Oh, c'mon! You don't want to know?"
Aria & Spencer say at the unison. – "No!"
And, while the girls were talking about the active sex life of their friends. Alison was with Emily, to welcome their girls into this world…
Blair. – "One last push, Emily…"
The brunette groans, veins appearing all over her front-head and her neck while she's giving the last push….
Alison kisses Emily's hand and says. – "You're doing great, mermaid…"
And, she was, because one second later, everybody hears a big crying…
Blair smiles. – "Okay, we got the 1st one…"
Alison smiles. – "Look, Em! She's here…"
Emily smiles, seeing her little baby girl for the 1st time it will be something she will never forget, and, when the other twin was born too, all the pain, all the fatigue disappear for this perfect moment…
Emily smiles while she holds the twins for the 1st time. – "They're perfect…"
Alison smiles, she kisses Emily's front-head and says. – "Yes, they're… just like you…"
The couple smile at each other, they embrace their girls, and, from this moment, everything were supposed to be just happiness, but…
(Some days later, at the house)
The brunette takes a deep breath, and, Alison doesn't need a word from her, to know that something is wrong. Since the birth of the twins, Emily has been off, and, after a long talk with Blair about it, Alison worries that it might be postpartum depression…
Alison. – "Em, are you…?"
Emily. – "I'm fine, Ali. Just tired…"
Alison gulps, worried. – "Are you sure that's just that?"
Emily snaps. – "I spend the entire day locked in this house with 5 kids! Sorry if I'm not a sunshine with you, when you get back home…"
Alison takes a deep breath, she doesn't want to discuss again, so, she just stands up and goes to the kitchen to do the dishes. Emily was still not working at the school, but, the brunette wasn't doing all by herself.
Even if Alison was spending a lot of time at the office, every time she was at home, she was doing the dishes, making food, cleaning, doing the laundry, changing diapers…. The blonde was doing as much as she can, she just hope that Emily could see it, too…
Emily wraps her arms around Alison and says. – "I'm sorry…"
Alison was cleaning the baby bottles when she says. – "It's okay, you're tired…"
Emily. – "But, you're tired too, and, you don't snap against me…"
Alison chuckles, she turns around, and, says while she caresses Emily's face. – "How can I get mad with this beautiful face…?"
Emily flushes and smiles
Alison smiles. – "I like it more when you smile…"
Emily nods, and, even if right now she's still too emotional for all the hormones, she feels better with Alison at her side.
Like every night, Alison puts the boys in bed, reading a bedstory, something that Emily loves to hear too. And, like always, Emily was leaning over the door frame while the blonde was reading to the boys when…
(Phone rings, a text message)
Emily looks at her phone and says. – "Who could it be at this hour…?"
Text message: Emily, are you there…?
The brunette frowns, the phone is unknown, and, she has no idea of who could it be, till…
2nd text: Emily, please, it's Maya…
Emily gasps, shocked by what she reads, and, her shock is perceived by someone else too…
Alison turns her head towards the brunette and asks. – "It's everything okay, Em?"
Emily. – "Huh?" (Her phone starts to ring again, but, this time, it's a call, she gulps hard and mumbles) "OMG…"
Alison frowns. – "Em…?"
Emily walks away and says. – "It's okay, It's… it's my mom… yeah, it's my mom, she just wants to check on me…."
The brunette walks away to take the call, and, Alison doesn't follow, if it's Pam Fields, then, there's nothing to worry, right? Or, at least that's what Alison wanted to believe. But, from that night, the brunette got really obsessed with her phone. Always texting, talking in a very low voice, like whispering, and, every time that Alison asked what was it, Emily replied with the same thing: it's my mom…
(Another day at the Brew)
Blair. – "Hey Ali! You look upset… something wrong?"
Alison. – "I… I'm not sure…"
Blair frowns
Alison sighs. – "Someone is coming on with Emily, I don't know what it's, but, she's keeping something from me…"
Blair. – "Why you say that?"
Alison. – "She can't sleep sometimes, when we are at the table, she barely eats. And, every time I try to get close to her and ask her what is coming on, she tells me that it's just excessive fatigue…"
Blair. – "Mmmm… I don't know if she's hiding something, but, could it be postpartum depression?"
Alison frowns. – "Do you really think that she's sick?"
Blair. – "I told you before, postpartum depression is something that any woman can have after giving birth…"
Alison. – "I know we talked about it, but…"
Blair. – "Tell me something, has Emily libido decreased?"
Alison stays quiet; they haven't had sex in a very long, very long time. Especially since every time that the blonde tries to make a move, Emily's phone rings, and, the brunette walks away to take the call…
Blair. – "If she has frequent mood changes too, maybe you should consider to see a doctor…"
Alison stays in silence for a long moment, thinking…
Blair. – "Ali…?"
Alison. – "I'll think about it… thanks…"
Blair nods, she sees her BFF leave, ignoring the big danger that was approaching…
*** Alison's narrative (voice over) ***
Danger can hide behind a beautiful smile, and, between all the games I've played, trust will always be the most dangerous of them all…
(At the Emison's house)
Alison walks into her home and says. – "I'm home, Em, are you here?"
The blonde walks in, she finds Emily's phone over the table when it starts to ring, and, her eyes get bigger when she reads the label of that call…
Alison frowns. – "Maya…?"
Emily appears in the living room, just in time to take the phone before Alison could put her hands over it…
Alison says with a serious voice. – "What is coming on, Em…?"
Emily gulps, she has no idea of what to say, she was still having problems to deal with her reality. Since the 1st contact was done, Emily wasn't sure if it was real or a very, very bad prank. But, she's sure that it's Maya's voice. And, according with what the other girl has been telling her over the phone, Emily needs to keep it quiet, for the well-being of everyone, but, that's no longer an option now…
Alison tries to control her temper when she says. – "Emily…"
Emily walks away, and, says. – "I need to take this call…"
The blonde huffs like an angry bull, she tries to not snap, after all, they have 5 kids. 5 beautiful kids, so, why? Why Emily is talking to her Ex behind Alison's back? Wasn't she dead? The blonde is confused, she's angry, she's jealous and she's waiting for Emily, she wants an explanation, but, when the brunette walks back after her long call, the only thing that Alison gets its…
Emily. – "I… I've to go…"
Alison. – "What?! Go?! Go where…?!"
Emily. – "I… I can't tell you…"
Alison slams her fists on the table and says. – "You can't tell me?!"
Emily gulps, she's worried about upsetting Alison, but, she's more worried to put her in danger, so, she just walks into their room to prepare a little bag. Alison follows her…
Emily says while she packs. – "The twins are sleeping, there are bottles in the fridge. If you need more, you know where is the formula milk…"
Alison. – "Em…"
Emily. – "They boys already ate. Just make sure that they brush their teeth before sleep, and…"
Alison yells. – "Emily!"
Emily turns around, she stares at her angry wife in the eyes and says very calmly. – "Please, Ali. The boys are playing in their room and the twins are sleeping, you will scare them if you raise your voice…"
Alison. – "I'll scare them?!" (She shakes Emiliy from the shoulders and says) "You! You're scaring me!"
Emily gulps hard, the last thing she wants it's to see that fear in Alison's eyes, but, when she got the 1st call, a call from someone she loved, asking for help, she didn't find a way to say no. After all, she cared deeply about Maya, always feeling guilty for her death, and, now that she seems to be alive, now that she got back to Emily's life, the brunette finds this like an opportunity to save her as she didn't could do it in the past, but, for Alison, this looks more than just guilt…
Alison. – "Are you having an affair with her…?"
Emily. – "What?"
Alison says with a mix of pain and fear in her voice. – "Do you love her?"
Emily. – "It's not what you think, Ali…"
Alison pleads. – "Then tell me! Tell me what is it?"
Emily hesitates to talk about it, but, she remembers that Maya told her that bad people are looking for her, and, that it would be very risky to involve more people. Putting Alison in danger is something that Emily doesn't want to do, so, she doesn't say a word, ignoring that her silence is doing more damage of what she could ever imagine…
Emily takes her bag. – "I'll try to be back as soon as I can…"
Alison stays stiff, like a statue, the brunette passes beside her, and, whispers a 'love you', but, Alison is not sure to believe in those words, after all, Emily is walking away, towards the girl she loved once, or maybe, she still loves…
Emily was opening the front door, one step to leave when…
Alison. – "Emily…"
Emily turns towards the blonde and when their eyes meet…
Alison. – "You walk through that door, Em, and, we're done…"
Emily gulps hard
Alison says with tears in her eyes. – "I'm serious…"
Emily shakes her head and says. – "No, you're just upset, you don't mean it, you…"
Alison snaps. – "Of course, I'm upset! You're leaving me for her!"
Emily. – "I'm not leaving!"
Alison. – "You have a bag of clothes with you, Em…"
Emily rambles. – "Yeah, but, I just… she…"
Alison cuts her off. – "I'm not gonna run after you…"
Emily says with tears in her eyes. – "Ali, it's not like that, she just needs my help, and, I…"
The brunette gets distracted when her phone rings, it's a text giving her an address to where they can meet…
Emily. – "I've to go, but, I'll be back… soon… I promise… I…"
The brunette leaves before she could finish her sentence, and, Alison just slams her fists against the wall, crying angrily because it looks like Emily just chose Maya over her…
*** Emily's narrative (voice-over) ***
So, like I said before, we are capable of doing things we don't ever want to imagine, when we get obsessed with redeeming our past, saving those we couldn't save before, but, we can't undo the past, we can't save those we already lost… and sadly, sometimes, we can't even save ourselves from the danger of our bad choices…
In a warehouse, between the shadows of the night, Emily walks in…
Emily. – "Maya? Maya, are you here? I brought you the clothes, like you ask. My size might be big for you, but…"
So distracted, calling for Maya, Emily doesn't see it coming when someone knocks her from behind. Black and cold are all she sees and feels till she comes back to her senses and realizes that she's locked inside a cell in what it looks like a basement…
Emily mumbles while she rubs her head. – "Where Am I…? Wh…?"
Someone who's hiding among the shadows says. – "What were you thinking, Emily? Choosing your ex-lover Maya over Alison?"
Emily. – "What?! I…" (She whines of pain when her fingers touch the spot where she got hit) "Auch… what the hell?"
The other person says while she approaches. – "Oh, stop whining, I didn't hit you hard…"
Emily's fingers get stained with a little of blood, and, still trying to put her mind together, the brunette realizes that she knows that voice, and, her eyes get bigger of shock when she remembers why…
Emily mumbles. – "Sydney…?"
The crazy girl emerges between the shadows, with a big devious smirk…
Sydney. – "Hi, Emily. Welcome to your new home…"
Emily frowns. – "What?!" (She stands up, fists grabbing the cold grills that are locking her away from her family and says) "Where Am I? Where is Maya?! Are you the one who's chasing Maya down?"
Sydney laughs
Emily. – "Why are you laughing?"
Sydney mocks. – "I can't believe you fell for that…"
Emily frowns, confused. – "What? What do you mean? Wh…?"
The brunette is confused, and, she gets more confused when Sydney shows her how easily it's to fake a voice with the help of the technology…
Emily mumbles. – "No, it can't be…"
Sydney approaches her lips to the microphone, that she has connected to the laptop, she opens her program and starts talking…
Sydney (but, her voice sounds like Maya's voice). – "You really are naïve…"
Emily gets angry, she shakes the grills, but, no matter how angry and strong she might be, there's no way she's getting out of there by herself…
Sydney. – "You're wasting your time, Emily. You're not Hulk to get out of there…"
Emily yells. – "Get me out of here!"
Sydney. – "Mmmm…" (She thinks about it, and, then, with a big smirk she says) "No…."
Emily groans angrily. – "Sydney!"
Sydney laughs, when she got the idea of impersonate Maya, and, get Emily into a trap, the whole idea looked so crazy, even for her, but, no matter how crazy it was… it worked…
Emily. – "Why are you doing this?!"
Sydney. – "Why?"
The crazy girl turns the lights on, and, Emily freaks out when she sees all the walls of the basement, upholstered with pictures of Alison…
Sydney says while she stares at her collection of pictures of Alison. – "I desire very little, but, when I do… when I desire something with all my heart, I get this hunger, this need at an unconscious level, a real obsession, and behind it, a great motivation to get… to have… to possess what I want… what I need… what belongs to me, and, only me…"
The crazy girl kisses the pictures, and, Emily can't believe what she's seeing…
Emily. – "You're crazy…"
Sydney. – "Crazy for Ali..." (She takes a picture that's in a frame and says) "And, now that you're out of the picture…" (She points out towards the blonde that's smiling in the picture and says) "She will be all mine…"
Emily groans angrily, she stretches her arms trying to reach Sydney, but, the other girl is too far to be touched by her…
Sydney smirks. – "Ali will think that you abandoned her for Maya, your 1st love…"
Emily shakes her head. – "No, no, no…" (She says loudly) "Ali, it's my 1st love! She's my only love!"
Sydney. – "Are you sure? Because you didn't hesitate to walk away from Alison when I sent you the texts to meet me, when you thought I was Maya…"
Emily frowns. – "You were spying on us?"
Sydney shows to Emily, her laptop, and, the brunette's eyes get bigger of shock when she realizes that somehow, Sydney has put a lot of cameras all around the house…
Sydney. – "You really didn't find odd that every time that Alison tried to have sex with you, you received a call from Maya?"
Emily. "You're sick!"
Sydney. – "Maybe, but, I couldn't support the idea of seeing you having sex with my Ali, so, I needed a way to block you, so…"
Emily groans angrily. – "She's not your ALI!"
Sydney gets closer and says with a smirk. – "But, she will. Because she will think that you ran away with Maya, abandoning her. She will be crushed, and, the only one who will be there to give her the love and support she needs, it will be…"
Emily groans angrily. – "No one will believe it! No one will believe your lie!"
Sydney smiles with a devious smile. – "Please, it's the perfect lie…"
