Chapter 5

The girls decided to stay over for the night, not wanting to leave Spencer alone, while Hanna covered the mirror with a sheet "I can't believe A was in your house." Aria said.

"Can we talk about something else please?" Spencer asked.

"Um, ok" Aria said before everyone looked around not knowing what to bring up so Aria asked "Do you guys believe in vampires? Like is it possible that they may exist."

Emily, Hanna, and Spencer shared a glance "Sure I like to believe that the world is more mysterious and special than we know." Spencer said with a nod "Why do you ask?"

"Um, I've been thinking of writing a short story." Aria lied.

"About Vampires?" Emily asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. I mean it could be fun." Aria said as she sat up "OK so far I have the main character is a teenager in high school and she sees a boy who she met and thought was a friend, feeding on a teacher, and when she tries to run from him, she blasts him away with a powerful psychic blast."

"So basically it's like Carrie, meets Bad boy Edward?" Hanna asked causing everyone to giggle.

"Sort of." Aria said.

Hanna appeared thoughtful as she thought about what she'd do if she ever met a vampire, before she began to think on how to tell her mother that her dad was getting married, she also couldn't help but wonder what Naruto was doing.

Next Morning

Aria sat on the couch with a letter that A had sent to her mom, about her dad's affair, "A sent this letter to my mom." she told her friends who sat at the island watching her "Its pure luck that I told her, before the letter got there."

"You know it's not your fault, it's your dad's."

"No it is my fault." Aria said feeling guilty that she kept the secret for so long.

"You didn't hook up with her, and tell your kid to cover for you." Spencer said.

"Ali told me that I should have to told my mom right after it happened." Aria said.

"Alison knew?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, she was with me." Aria said sipping her coffee.

"So Alison saw this Meredith person?" Spencer asked.

"Meredith? Her name is Meredith? Ew! That's not even a cute girl name. I'm seeing big pours and nasty roots." Hanna said.

"Hann! I thunk it's a little to soon to joke." Spencer said.

"I'm sorry, but if your going to cheat, at least do it with someone who deep conditions her hair occasionally."

Spencer handing Hanna a bagel said "Here. Put something in your mouth, besides your foot."

Hanna turned to Aria "I'm sorry, okay. Look all I'm saying is that when my dad left, laughing helped. So did crying."

"My father hasn't left guys." Aria said standing up and walking to the island "I mean this happened over a year ago."

Aria looked at her friends who didn't avoided her gaze "You think he's gonna leave?"

"Look whatever happens, we're here for you." Emily said.

After a moment of silence Spencer spoke "Thank you guys for staying here, I couldn't have been here alone."

"When is your family coming back?" Hanna asked.

"This afternoon." Spencer said.

"Are you going to clean the mirror before the get back?" Aria asked only for Spencer to remain silent.

"You want me to come?" Emily asked getting a nod before they got up.

"Let's all go." Aria said following while Hanna remain seated.

"You know, it doesn't take all of us to clean a mirror." Hanna said.

Aria stopped and looked to Hanna "Fine, you stay down here alone." she said before turning back around and walking away.

"Make sure you lock the door." Emily said.

"You spray, I wipe." Hanna said getting up and following them, before her phone rung causing them to stop "Well, the creature has returned, we should have never unblocked our phones."

"Ever wonder, what happens when your back is turned? -A

"Open the attachment." Emily said which Hanna did, before a video of them discovering the mirror played.

"That's us." Aria said in shock "Wait, was this shot from your closet?"

Everyone looked upstairs "A was watching us." Spencer said.

Cautiously they entered the room opened the closet only to scream when a makeup bag fell "Guys." Aria said picking up some lipstick, and rubbing it onto the back of her hand and compared it to the mirror.

Later

Hanna's House

Hanna grabbing a pair on tennis shoes, after an uneventful day at school, walked into the bathroom only to stop and blush as Naruto having just got out of the shower was drying his air off completely nude. "You know it's customary to knock first." he said wrapping the towel around his waist.

"I'm huge. I mean, Sorry!" Hanna said, quickly closing the door and walking away.

Naruto smirked and chuckled before he reached under his fresh pair of underwear, and grabbed the blood bag he had hidden before he sunk his fangs into it.

Minutes Later

Fully dressed in a black v-neck, and Levi slim fit jeans Naruto walked into the kitchen to see Hanna sitting at the table on her phone, avoiding his gaze. "Are you ok, Hanna? You look a little sick." He teased.

"S-shut up!" Hanna yelled placing her face into her hands while Naruto chuckled.

"Are you sure you want to work for Sean's mom?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, it could be fun." Hanna said causing Naruto to shrug before he handed her his keys.

"What?" Naruto asked when she didn't take them.

"Don't you think it'll be weird to pull up in a better sports car, after I wrecked her son's?" Hanna asked.

"It's either this, or the bus." Naruto said causing Hanna to snatch his keys before she pecked his lips and was out the door.

Naruto smiled before he left a clone to finish his homework and set about making dinner for himself and Hanna.

Later

Naruto sat across from Hanna who was on her laptop "You know pizza is better hot." Naruto said as he enjoyed his homemade BBQ chicken pizza.

"Sorry, I just need to research something." Hanna said placing the plate in her lap, and taking a bite out of one of her slices.

"Cyber stalking your boyfriend again?" Naruto asked.

"I only did that once." Hanna said while Naruto smiled and stood up to get two more slices, just as he sat back down he looked at her seriously.

"So, this A person, is still messing with you?" Naruto asked.

"The video I showed you, was all I got from A today." Hanna said.

"Well I have been putting together a profile so to speak on who A is." Naruto said getting Hanna's attention.

"What do you have so far?" Hanna asked.

"I think A may be a someone, who was most likely bullied or wronged by Alison. Someone who is very smart, and goes to school with us." Naruto said before he looked at Hanna seriously, "What do you know about Mona?'

Hanna raised an eyebrow, "You think Mona, might be A?"

"It's certainly a possibility, because out of everyone, she stands out as the most wronged besides Jenna Marshal among Ali's victims. And Jenna can't exactly go anywhere without being noticed. You said Mona began to change immediately after Ali went missing."

"Mona can't be A. She's my friend, even if she had a problem with me, she'd tell me. She's been here, while you've been missing for 2 years." Hanna said upset.

"Wow, low blow, Hanna." Naruto said before he pushed his plate aside and leaned forward "If you truly believe it is impossible for Mona to be A, that is fine. I will trust your judgement, but the fact doesn't change that A was in Spencer's room last night, without any of you knowing. If A wanted to hurt you guys, she/he could have."

"I know." Hanna said looking down before she looked thoughtful "Teach me how to fight."

"Eh?"

"You can teach me to defend myself, in case whoever A is tries to attack me or the others."

Naruto appeared to think it over before he nodded and would've spoke, but Ashley walked in "Sorry I'm late, but my boss got chatty when I dropped off the check. What's for dinner?"

"Naruto made a pizza, and it is delicious." Hanna said.

Ashley smiled and walked to the stove to see 4 slices left, before she noticed Hanna chewing while staring at her computer "What are we looking at?"

"The worst part of my day. You know I thought it bottomed out, when a kid aimed at me for a rinse and spit," Naruto snickered "but now there's an Amber." Hanna said throwing her balled up napkin at Naruto.

"What's an Amber?" Ashley asked.

"Amber is a cheerleader Rollins High, who loves skinny lattes." Hanna said as Ashley walked over "Here." Hanna turned the computer to her mom, and Naruto.

"She's cute/hot." Ashley/Naruto said which got him a glare from Hanna.

"She's trying to date Sean." Hanna said to her mom.

"She's evil." Ashley corrected herself before she sat beside Naruto to look at Hanna "We know this for a fact?"

"The girl only gave him a ride." Naruto said "Hanna is reading to much into it."

"Driving is not dating, eat your pizza." Ashley said.

"Mom, my boyfriend has left me for someone who weighs 11lbs."

"He hasn't left you. His car is in the shop." Ashley said

"So why can't he hitch a ride with someone who isn't majoring in cartwheels?" Hanna asked while Naruto shook his head.

"I'm sorry you don't have a car of your own to drive, but I'm sure Naruto would allow you to drive his to pick up Sean." Ashley said, only for Naruto to give her a look, and get up.

"Don't bet on it." Naruto said walking to the sink, as Hanna sighed.

"Or you can ask your father about it." Ashley said.

"No thanks, besides I bet he's already picked one out for Kate." Hanna said causing Naruto to glance at her.

"Kate? I thought her name was Isabel?" Ashley asked.

"That's the mother." Hanna said.

"The girlfriend." Ashley replied.

"The fiancee." Hanna said before she frowned while Naruto watched Ashley who frowned.

"He's marrying her?" Ashley asked, while Naruto sighed and looked down to the dishes.

"Yeah, I found that out. Before I went to Spencer's last night, and I didn't see you this morning, and I thought it'd be weird to send you a text."

"Yeah, that would've been weird. Besides I'd rather hear it from you then him. I'm not surprised we've both moved on." Ashley said before she got up "I'm going to go take a shower. I'll eat later."

Naruto nodded and watched her leave, before he went to Hanna who was typing on her computer and flicked her ear, causing her to flinch and hold her ear "What the hell was that for?" she asked slapping Naruto's leg.

"You could have timed that better. A little subtlety never hurt anyone." Naruto said.

"I planned to, but it just slipped out that way." Hanna said before Naruto shook his head and went back to do the dishes while Hanna sighed and got back on her computer when a Message popped up.

"'Now I know 3 secrets Hanna got dissed...Emily got Kissed, and someone else got the D.-A'

"Who is this?" Hanna typed only for 2 links to be sent, clicking the first Hanna scrolled through a picture of Emily and Maya in a photo booth, before her eyes widened seeing one of them kissing, closing the link, she clicked the second link, and her heart stopped as it was a picture of Naruto and her mom kissing. Tears began to well up in her eyes before she got up and walked over to Naruto. who had his back turned as he washed dishes.

Naruto felt Hanna place her hand on his shoulder and turn him around before she slapped him across the face before she ran upstairs. Blinking in surprise, Naruto was about to follow her but his eyes caught the laptop, walking forward Naruto eyes narrowed at the picture of him and Ashley before he slammed the laptop shut and walked upstairs to Hanna's room.

Knocking on the door he called her "Hanna? Can you please open the door, so we can talk about this?" he asked. Honestly, he had planned to forget all about that incident, but apparently, he had been too focused on dealing with Ashley to discern A's footsteps from a squirrels.

"Go away! I have nothing to say to you!" Hanna yelled, sitting with her back to the door, hugging herself.

Naruto sighed and with a shift of his foot, sped out to the back before he jumped to her open bedroom window and climbed in "Well, I have something you need to hear." Naruto said, causing Hanna to gasp as she looked up to see him standing there.

"Get. Out." Hanna growled, getting to her feet,

"Not till you listen to what I have to say." Naruto said walking up to her and wrapping his arms around her when she began to slap him "Nothing happened Hanna." he told her honestly.

"I saw the picture!" Hanna yelled, glaring at him while he looked her in the eye.

"Right, that picture was of me coming home to find your mom drunk off her ass, as she was upset that Tom didn't come back for her as well. I took the glass from her and she kissed me. Immediately after that, she began to cry and apologize before she passed out, and I carried her to bed. She doesn't even remember."

Hanna looked Naruto in the eye "I'm telling you the truth. I would never, NEVER, hurt you like that." Naruto said with such passion and honesty, that after a moment Hanna nodded.

"I'm sorry, I hit you." Hanna said, wiping her face.

"It's ok. Just don't say anything to your mom. She doesn't remember, and I was planning to forget that it even happened. It would be best to keep it that way." Naruto said, getting a nod from Hanna, who looked confused for a moment. She wondered briefly why she got so upset. It wasn't like Naruto was her boyfriend, not that the thought did not appeal to her, but if Sean truly has moved on then...

Naruto was irritated. Whoever A was, was trying his patience. He fortunate that he stopped Ashley from going through with her insane idea. It would be disastrous not only for Naruto and Hanna's relationship but it would also ruin her and Ashley's, which he couldn't let happen.

Naruto looked down to Hanna and smiled at her softly, before his eyes widened slightly when she leaned up to kiss him. Closing his eyes he began to kiss back, and before he knew it, the kiss grew more heated and she was straddling him, with her hands down his shorts, while his hands were in her panties. Before they could go further, Naruto stopped.

"What? What's the matter?" Hanna asked panting.

"Believe me, I want to. But you're still with Sean, and I don't want you to regret this later." Naruto said.

"Sean is with Amber now, so there's nothing to worry about." Hanna said before she kissed him again, and after a moment he placed his hands on her shoulders and flipped them over so he was on top of her looking down

"Then find out for sure, and if you guys aren't together, then we'll pick up from right here." Naruto said causing Hanna to sigh before her phone began to ring, with a kiss to her forehead, Naruto got off her and handed her the phone.

Moments Later

Naruto sighed as he now sat in his room after Hanna left to meet up with Spencer, in front in front of in front of him sat Hanna's laptop while he was on his phone as he looked at the picture of him and Ashley "So you can't trace where the photo cane from?" Naruto asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose "Alright, just see what you can do."

Naruto hung up and deleted the photo from Hanna's laptop and returned it to her room.

Montgomery House

Upstairs

Aria had her headphones in, to drown out her parents arguing she was currently researching telekinesis, when Mike walked in getting her attention, taking her headphones out, she heard him say "Can you hear them?"

"Look, whatever it is, it's not about us." Aria said wanting to spare him the truth.

"How do you know?" Mike asked.

Aria stood up and said "I just do. Look go get your stuff, well go study at the library."

"For how long?" Mike asked.

"Just get your stuff." Aria said pushing him toward the door before with a sigh he walked away, while Aria learned in her doorway.

Downstairs

"She lives in this town, I have to see her, I have to talk to her, I befriended this woman." Ella said angrily.

"Ella, trust me it is over, she means nothing to me." Byron said.

"Trust you!?" Ella asked.

"I'm not going to let her take away from me what matters most." Byron said.

"What matters most? It can't be your family, because you made Aria keep this a secret for a year." Ella replied.

"Ok, listen you want me to find another job, teaching at another college, do you want to pick up and move again, cause I will." Byron said.

"Is that what Iceland was all about?" Ella asked.

"In a way yes it was, cause I wanted things to go back the way they were between us."

"And how was that me looking like a complete idiot." Ella asked before she picked up a picture "Because look at this stupidly happy woman, standing next to her loving husband. What am I supposed to do with all these romantic photos of our trips abroad!?" Ella said throwing the picture to a wall where it shattered.

"Stop it! What happened with her was a mistake!" Byron said.

Aria who was listening on the steps watched as her mom turned to the window and sighed.

Hanna's House

Naruto was sitting at the table typing some paper up while sipping from his metal bottle that had blood in it. Naruto was thinking about the woman he saw a flash of that was underneath Radley Sanitarium that was also a werewolf. He needed to make plans to figure who she is and how to help her. There was also something. He would need to figure out who put her there in the first place.
