Aria's POV
I was with Spencer and Hanna as we searched for Emily.
"Why don't we split up?" Spencer asked.
"How about not?" Hanna countered. "Haven't you guys ever seen a horror movie. As soon as someone says split up, people start getting killed one by one.
"This is ridiculous. I'm gonna call Emily." I declared. I then heard the sound of her phone and we were quick to realize that wherever Emily was, she didn't have her phone.
We were led to the cafeteria, which looked like there was a struggle inside. There was also a smell of death to it. In addition, there was also a smell of Jenna.
"I know who took her." I declared. "It was Jenna."
The next morning, we found out that they had found Emily. They hadn't found Jenna. Emily appeared to have a concussion.
"So, why did Jenna attack you?" I asked.
"She seemed to think that I killed Toby." Emily explained.
"Well ,did you?" Spencer asked. "Why would Jenna blame you?"
"Because I did it." The redhead admitted. We gasped before she continued. "I didn't do it intentionally. He tried to rape me, so I defended myself and then I killed him."
"But the coroner said that he died of a heart attack." Spencer pointed out.
"He did. So, I can do something that all people can't do. When I kiss someone, I have the power to drain their life force. I'm pretty sure that I'm some kind of succubus." She told us.
"That doesn't make any sense." Spencer pointed out. "You can't be some kind of supernatural creature."
"It's true." Emily declared. "Jenna brought us some guys with her and I killed one of them before she knocked me out. I know this sounds really unbelievable, but I'm telling the truth."
That would explain the smell of death. It still didn't explain why Jenna thought that Emily was a succubus.
"I believe you." I replied.
"Well I don't know if I can." Spencer replied. "Maybe you just thought you killed Toby when he died of something completely unrelated like heart disease. You know I can't help but wonder if Jenna had something to do with Alison's death."
I really wanted to tell them about being a werewolf, but I couldn't. It sounded like Emily was only dangerous when she kissed people, but I was dangerous all of the time. If I lost my temper, because of my enhanced strength, I could kill someone just as easily as when I turn.
I then heard the police officer say something outside.
"So, this guy just took her to the hospital and left her there." He said to Emily's mom. "He said something about another girl."
"What did the girl look like?" Emily's mom asked. "What was her name?"
"The guy said that he didn't know her name but he remembered that she was blind." The officer declared.
"That's Jenna Cavanaugh." Mrs. Field declared. "So, what happened to her. Where is she now?"
"We don't know." The police officer who I then recognized as Barry Maple said. "The guy said that he took Emily while she stopped to use the bathroom."
Hanna's POV
I was late arriving to Emily's house. I was glad that she was home. I hoped that I wouldn't have any trouble getting inside because the police were still there. Thankfully, Wilden wasn't on the case. I hoped I would never see him again.
"Hey, can I go inside?" I asked Emily's mom.
"Yeah, but not for long because she needs to rest." Her mom said. I was surprised that they wanted to leave her alone considering that she had a concussion.
"So, what are you going to tell them?" Spencer asked.
"Tell who what?" I questioned as I entered the room.
"Well I can't tell them everything;" Emily remarked.
"You have to tell them that Jenna kidnapped you." Spencer replied.
At that time, Aria's phone rang.
"Who's that from?" Spencer questioned.
"My mom." Aria declared before she read it aloud. "Ask your father if he plans on taking the car in this week. My parents have gone from not talking to not texting each other. Well, I have to go talk to my dad. See you later."
"Me too." Spencer said.
"But I just got here." I remarked before they left. I sighed and took a seat on Emily's bed.
"So, I told them about me being a succubus." She stated.
"Did you say anything about me?" I questioned. She shook her head. "So you really won a car?"
"Why did you think I would take Maya to the dance?" She inquired.
"Because you like her." I pointed out. "It is okay to like girls. I think like 40 percent of teens identify as bisexual or lesbian or something."
"You're making that number up." She remarked. "I know I want her, but I'm afraid that everything will change if I say yes to her."
"Well you wouldn't have to pretend that you're straight anymore." I replied.
"What if I'm not that person?" She asked.
"Emily, sexuality isn't something that you can be wrong about." I pointed out. "First you were Emily dating Ben and now you can be Emily dating Maya. We don't care who you're dating. No one will."
"Do you really think my mom would be okay with it?" Emily challenged. I wasn't sure but she probably would.
Spencer's POV
I went to see Alex at the country club. I wore a blue plaid shirt with a beige jacket and black pants. I quickly found out that he was in the kitchen and went inside because apparently they just let people into the kitchen.
"Spencer, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Your manager said you were on kitchen duty." I stated.
"Yeah, they fired 12 employees this morning." He declared. "It turns out our laundry service was laundering more than just towels, so I am stuck on sous chef duty until we hire someone else to do it."
"You can't be back here. It's staff only. No members." A girl said.
"I have all of my shots and I won't touch anything." I replied.
"You wanna get canned too?" She asked before she walked away.
"Ooh, you got Stephanie mad at you." He teased.
"Can I take you on a date?" I requested.
"Only if I get total control of the whole night and you don't leave." He responded.
"I'm not sure that I should agree to that." I replied uneasily.
"Are you afraid to let someone else take control for a change?" He challenged me.
"Okay, I'll do it." I replied. "But you will need to tell me how to dress for wherever we're going."
Aria's POV
Once I got home, I decided to call Ezra, but he didn't seem to be home. I decided not to leave a message considering that I didn't know who would listen to it later. I wasn't sure what to do with the situation.
At that point, my mom walked in with a box.
"Hey, did Dad get you flowers?" I asked.
"No, this is for you." She said as I opened the box of flowers. Before I could see who they were from, Mike appeared.
"So, Dad is going to drive me to practice then stay for the game. Should I save you a seat?" He asked Mom.
"Um…Honey, I think I'm going to have to miss this one." Mom declared.
"Whatever." Mike said before he walked off.
"You don't have to sit with Dad." I pointed out.
"That would look even worse than not going." She argued.
I then looked at the note on the flowers and saw that they were from Noel. He didn't seem like the kind of guy to a get a girl flowers.
Emily's POV
I couldn't help but have a weird dream. There was a wolf and Jenna was also there. I then opened my eyes to see my mom.
"So, you're awake." She said. She had some kind of snack with her. I breathed a sigh of relief because I knew my mom would never let Jenna into my room. However, someone else was there.
"Maya." I commented.
"Yeah, I knew you had seen a lot of visitors, but Maya brought some cookies." Mom explained.
"So, how are you feeling?" Maya asked once my mom left. I didn't really want to talk about my feelings with her. I wished I could talk to anyone else.
'Maya, I really don't want to talk about this now." I told her.
Hanna's POV
I went to the school wearing my dress from last night. I found Lucas at a computer doing something.
"Hey." I greeted him. "You still wanted to do the makeup picture."
I wasn't able to take my official princess portrait because I was too busy looking for Emily.
"I hope I don't look too bad. I only got three hours of sleep last night." I told him as I looked at myself in my compact.
"I think you look ever better than you did last night." He stated.
"Damn, this crown is so tiny." I remarked.
"I can make it look bigger." He offered. "The Queen's crown is bigger."
We then took the picture. Sean did not need to be there because no one cared about the princes. No one really cared about the king either. These competitions were for girls and they would always be for girls.
Emily's POV
"So, what happened with Jenna?" Mom asked me after Maya was gone. I wasn't sure of the best way to explain it. I decided to go with the minimum.
"She thought I had something to do with Toby's death and then she attacked me with her cane." I answered.
"Why would she think that you something to do with Toby having a heart attack?" She challenged.
"I don't know. She's obviously disturbed." I replied. "I know she's dangerous and I plan to stay away from her in the future."
"You need to take out a restraining order against her." She suggested. No judge would grant a restraining order against a blind girl. "Just because she can't see doesn't mean she's not dangerous."
"I know that." I replied. I need some sleep.
I wanted to know if she knew anything about what was going on with me. Was she a succubus too or was it something that was just with me? Was I adopted? I needed to find answers, but I had no idea how to look for something like that. The internet wasn't helpful because it all it said about succubi (other than that was the plural form) was that they were demons in human form and I would know if I was a demon. I could go into churches without any sort of pain.
Aria's POV
I put the flowers into a vase. I was doing some writing when my dad came into my room. I was wearing a black lace long-sleeved dress with fishnets and a black headband with a cross necklace.
"What are you doing?" Dad asked as he walked into the room.
"Just writing." I responded. "How was the game?"
"Well they lost, but your brother played really well." He told me.
"Did Mom show up?" I inquired.
"No, but we missed her." He responded.
"Should I tell her that, or can you tell her yourself?" I asked as I sat on my bed. "When is this going to end? Are you going to move out or what?"
"I am not going to do that to you or your brother." He told me as he sat down in front of me. "But your mom thinks we should spend some time apart, so I've agreed to…"
"Are you moving in with Meredith?" I interrupted.
"No…God no." He said. "Meredith is not the issue here. Meredith is just a woman that I work with."
"Do you still love Mom?" I questioned bluntly.
"I do and I'm leaving because…" He started.
"Because it's easier just to give up instead of continuing to fight." I replied with tears in my eyes.
"You're young. There are a lot of things going on here that you don't understand." He declared.
"This isn't one of them." I pointed out as I grabbed my bag and left.
I got a call from Hanna, saying that she wants to meet. She had a book with her. It looked really old. We ended up going into the woods. She said that she wanted to go somewhere that she wouldn't be seen.
"Hanna, what are we doing out here?" I asked.
"You need to see this." She said. "We need to be where no one else is around."
"What's so important that you can't show us somewhere that isn't in the middle of the woods?" Spencer asked.
"This." Hanna declared as she said a few words in a language I couldn't understand and suddenly her hands were on fire. She also started to float slightly off the ground.
"I know that Emily told you guys about her and I'm here to tell you guys about me. I get it from my dad." She explained as the fire went out and she returned to the ground. "I'm not very good at doing spells, but I've been practicing."
"This is unreal." Spencer declared. I believed it. That just left Spencer as being normal and that could change in the future. I still wasn't going to tell them that I was a werewolf.
"I tried to cast a spell to find out where Jenna is, but instead I got her past." She explained. "I found out that Toby raped her, so it makes complete sense that he would try to do it to Emily too. Also, you need to make sure that you never look into her eyes."
"Why not?" I questioned. I hadn't seen her take her glasses off since she came back.
"Trust me. Just don't. It's too hard to explain." She declared.
"Can we please get out of here. This is cool and all but I don't like being out here." I responded. I had a feeling that the longer the conversation went on, the more likely it would be that I would tell them and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to keep it a secret from everyone as long as I could. I was going on a year now of no one knowing
Spencer's POV
The next day at school, I met up with Emily. I was a little surprised that she had come. I had a feeling Jenna wouldn't be there.
"So, are you taking anything for the pain?" I questioned.
"Yeah, but there's no pill to get my mom to stop hovering." She said. "She has a million questions and I don't know how to answer all of them."
At that time, I got a text. It was from Alex. Unfortunately, it was not good news. I couldn't help but frown from reading it.
"Alex just blew off our date." I explained. "He says he has to work, even though the club is closed on Mondays."
Aria's POV
I decided to see Ezra at school. I needed to talk to him and it was one place that he couldn't avoid me…or so I thought. I went to his classroom and saw a woman there.
"Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Fitz." I declared.
"He's not here today. I'm his sub Ms. King." She answered. "Can I help you with anything?"
"No." I replied. "Do you know if he is going to be back tomorrow?"
"I don't." She answered.
It was then that I saw the other person that I was looking for at school.
"Why did you get me flowers?" I asked.
"It was Sean's idea." He declared. "Did you like them?"
"Yeah, except for the purple ones. I didn't really like those." I explained. There was a reason that I didn't like them, but I didn't think it was something that he was thinking of. It was wolfsbane. I didn't know that they sold that at flower shops. "I guess I should thank you for getting them for me, but if the flowers were your way of asking me on a date, the answer is no."
"They weren't and I'll make sure to get you something different next time." He replied. I wasn't ever going to dance with him again, so I wasn't sure why he thought there was going to be a next time.
Hanna's POV
I went to the computer lab. I had received a text from Lucas saying that he wanted to meet me in there. I was wearing a white sweater and dark jeans with brown heeled boots.
"I got your message. You wanted to see me?" I questioned.
"Yeah, I just wanted you approval for the homecoming page for the yearbook." He said.
"You know it's kind of odd that there's not a picture of the whole court." I commented.
"Well considering the freshman princess has cancer, that's not likely going to happen." He retorted. I did not know that. Hopefully she wouldn't be dead before the yearbook came out.
Spencer's POV
I decided to go to the club. I went straight to the kitchen. There didn't seem to be anyone there.
"Spencer?" He asked when he saw me.
"So, you are here." I declared.
"You thought I was lying?" He questioned. I felt kind of bad for not believing him. "There's a big breakfast here tomorrow and they told me that they would pay me overtime for it. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Like what?" I responded.
"Like you think I would rather be putting fruit on sticks than spending time with you." He declared.
"I'm just trying to figure all of this out." I admitted. "So are we still on for our date?"
At that point, the manager showed up. I basically got drafted into helping him and I had to wear this ugly hairnet. To be honest, I was pretty sure that he was lying.
"So, I want to spend time with you, so I'm really going to help you." I told him. "I can put fruit on sticks as well. Maybe we'll have time to do something if we work quick enough."
"If your parents could see you now." He remarked.
"My parents would never come back here." I pointed out.
Aria's POV
I was at school when I suddenly, I saw Mike. I went over to break it up. I tore my brother off of the other guy.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked. "What is going on with you?"
I knew what was going on. He was frustrated with what was going on at home.
"Go to hell!" He shouted as he walked off.
Hanna's POV
Lucas and I were watching cat videos. Currently, a man was losing a game of ping pong to a cat. It was both adorable and a pathetic at the same time.
"Is this what you do in your free time?" I questioned through my laughs.
"Do you wanna see a turkey on a snowboard?" He questioned. That sounded ridiculous…and hilarious.
I then noticed his hand was close to mine and he pulled it away.
"Sorry." He replied.
"For what?" I retorted.
"For touching you." He responded.
"It's okay. I don't have cooties." I told him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. To be honest, I used to be so afraid of you." He admitted.
"Of me?" I questioned.
"Well, not you specifically, your whole posse…Alison. I was scared of Alison." He explained. "It was like you were a coven."
"We weren't witches." I replied. Well the others weren't. I wasn't going to tell him about me either. I didn't know him well enough.
"Well Alison was pure evil." He said.
"She wasn't evil. She just liked control and she had a short temper." I replied.
"Why were you friends with her?" He questioned.
"I know it's hard to believe, but she really did have a good side." I remarked. "She was good at making people feel special. She also had some weird tastes. She liked a lot of old music and movies."
Spencer's POV
I went to get something from the back and I saw something. I was a bunch of pictures of people. My parents and Melissa were both there and so was I.
"What is this?" I asked.
"It's something the employees do to blow off steam." He explained. "I didn't do this to you. It was probably Stephanie."
I then handed him the picture.
"Spencer, your sister took one look at me and thought I was there to park her car." He stated. "People mistreat people like me."
Emily's POV
After swimming practice, I went to see Maya. She was just coming out of her band practice. I was wearing a black and white jersey sweatshirt and black leggings. She didn't immediately walk away from me, so that was a good start.
"So, let me start by apologizing for yesterday." I replied. "I just don't like being ambushed."
"And here you are ambushing me." She quipped.
"I miss you. I wanna try to make this work. I don't want to come out yet, but I want to at least go on a date with you. Not some Homecoming dance, but a real dinner and a movie type date."
"How do I know that you won't brush me off again?" She challenged.
"You don't, but you might have to take this chance. This could be amazing or it could go nowhere, but we're going to have to try."
"Well, you certainly know how to sell it." She remarked.
Aria's POV
I decided to go see Ezra at his apartment. I needed to find out why he was avoiding me. He didn't answer when I knocked. I didn't hear any sounds coming from inside. I then remembered that he had a key under his mat and used it to open the door. There was no one there. I had just broke and entered. I then heard his answering machine go off and found out that he had an interview tomorrow. Was he really going to leave town because of me?
Hanna's POV
I let Sean into my house. I was a bit surprised to see him.
"So, I wasn't expecting you. I thought you were still mad at me." He replied.
"Well I was a little mad at you." He admitted. "But then I had a talk with Noel and he got me to come to my senses, Hanna Banana."
"You haven't called me that since 7th grade." I said. I then showed him some of the videos I had been watching, only he didn't seem to think it was funny.
"That looks like it might be animal cruelty." He commented.
Spencer's POV
I eventually returned to the kitchen and Alex started to dance with me. He knew how to tango. If he had showed me that at Homecoming, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave him even if Alison herself walked into the room. We then followed it up with a steamy makeout session.
Aria's POV
I went back home and got back to my writing. I was really getting far in my novel. The only problem was it might be hard to get anyone to proofread it for me. I couldn't give it to my dad and it looked like Ezra might be out of the picture. I then heard a noise and immediately knew it was Mike.
"Mike?" I asked.
"What?" He retorted.
"Don't what me. Talk to me." I ordered. "Did you say goodbye? Maybe they know what they are doing. Maybe this will all work out. The next time you want to get in a fight, don't go after kids twice your size."
"I'm not thinking about Mom and Dad." He argued. "Why should I care about them? They don't even care about us."
I heard them talking outside and I found out that it wasn't dad who was leaving. It was Mom.
Emily's POV
I got the news from the police. They had Jenna in custody. I supposed that was good news.
"I'm just glad that all of this is over." I commented.
"It might not be over yet." Hanna declared. Spencer and I looked at her. "I just have a bad feeling about this."
No POV
Jenna was in a jail cell by herself. They was a guard nearby.
"Hey, can I have some water?" She asked. The guard gave her some and she took her glasses off and her eyes glowed red. "Now, you're going to let me go."
The guard opened the door, she put her glasses back on and walked out.
So Jenna has mind control powers. And Marlene King made an appearance as well Hanna and Emily letting their secrets out. Barry is played by Michael B. Jordan. Please don't forget to review.
