Aria's POV

I had just turned back. I didn't know what time it was. It was something that I hated about the transformation. There was no way to determine it because I was pretty sure that no watch would fit me after I turned into a wolf. I hoped that I hadn't killed anyone else. There was blood on my hands, but not on my mouth. I had to go to the lake to wash it off. Of course, I wanted to get my clothes first. These situations weren't ever easy. Maybe it would be better for me to just go to the lake house on every full moon. It would make it easier to find my clothes.

After I went to the lake and found my clothes, I went back to the campsite. I couldn't help but notice that there were sirens and what appeared to be animal control. It seemed like most of the people were gone for some reason. Something had happened. I decided to go talk to the police.

"What's going on?" I asked them.

"A girl was attacked by an animal." He explained.

"How is she?" I questioned nervously. Please don't say that she's dead.

"Well she was alive when she was taken to the hospital." The officer replied. I almost breathed a sigh of relief "What are you doing out here?"

"I was at the party. I went for a walk." I stated. "I'm gonna go home now."

I then went to my car and saw that I had like 200 messages on my phone. I had put it in there because I didn't want to lose it. Before I could read all of the messages, my phone rang. It was my mom.

"Hello?" I answered. I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be good.

"Where are you?" She demanded.

"I'm at the camp site. I took a walk down to the lake." I lied.

"Your father and I have been texting you. Why would you go out in the woods without your phone?" She asked.

"I wasn't getting good reception, so I put it in my car." I responded. "What happened?"

"Hanna was attacked by an animal." She replied. Had I attacked her? "No one knew where you were. We weren't sure if you were dead or alive."

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I had no idea what happened and I didn't mean to worry you. I'm gonna go to the hospital to check on Hanna."

I then drove to the hospital and parked near the emergency room. This was something that I needed to know if I did. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had killed Hanna.

I found that Spencer and Emily were in the waiting room.

"Where the fuck were you?" Spencer asked.

I never saw this obstacle happen before. I didn't ever think that I would be transformed in the middle of a crisis. I still didn't know if it was a crisis that I had caused.

"How's Hanna?" I asked. I didn't want to keep telling the same story because I might omit some things.

"She's in surgery." Emily explained. Her mom is just outside of the operating room right now.

"Do they know what attacked her?" I inquired. I hoped that they wouldn't say a wolf.

"She was unconscious and no one else saw it." Spencer replied. At that time, a doctor entered the room.

"Wren? How is she?" Spencer asked. So, Wren really was a doctor.

"She's recovering right now." Wren answered. "She's stable and we're pretty sure that the surgery was a success. However, she'll need to spend some time here and will probably also need to be in a wheelchair so her stitches don't getting ripped open. She can't have visitors right now, so you should probably go home."

"What was Mona thinking having her party out in the woods?" Spencer asked as we were walking out. "Also what's with all of the animal attacks? We never had them before."

"I'm sure that's not really any reason. Maybe some cougars moved into the area." I proposed. I knew that there were cougars in Pennsylvania, and I wasn't talking about Mona's mom.

Spencer's POV

I walked into the house late at night. I wasn't expecting anyone to be up.

"Mom said you called." Melissa remarked. I almost jumped. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." I responded.

"What happened?" She inquired.

"Hanna was attacked by an animal." I explained before I started to cry into her arms.

"Another one? Someone needs to do something about this." She commented. "I mean, is she okay?"

"Yeah." I answered. I probably shouldn't have told her about Wren.

"Is everything okay?" Ian interrupted. His shirt was open. Well that was something that I didn't want to see. I nodded. "By the way, Spence, I'm cancelling Monday's practice."

"I'll be right out there, Ian." Melissa replied.

"You let him stay the night?" I asked.

"It's not like we're strangers." She argued. "We went out for two years and we had a lot to talk about. Go upstairs and get some sleep."

Hanna's POV

I slowly started to open my eyes. I wondered if there was a spell to heal myself. I didn't have my book. My dad also told me that self-magic was dangerous. I would probably have to wait it out. Once my eyes were fully open, I noticed my mom was by my side.

"I'm going to send some hunters to kill the animal that did this to you." She stated.

"Where are Aria, Spencer, and Emily?" I asked.

"There were all here. I sent them home." She said as she stroked my hair. "Sean was here too and so was Mona. Also, a boy named Lucas came. Who is he?"

"He works on the yearbook with me." I answered. I had to admit, the sound of my heart monitor was a little bit annoying. I then reached for the phone. "I need to call Spencer. They have to come back."

"It can wait, Hanna." She told me.

"No, it can't." I stated.

"I will call them. Please relax." She commanded.

Aria's POV

I knew that I needed to see Noel. I had to talk to him. I was sure that it was one of us that attacked Hanna. I wondered if he had any way to figure out which one of us it was.

"Is Hanna okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, the surgery was successful." I stated. I was wearing a long-sleeved black blouse with pink heart outline that read Evil Baby in the middle and a high-waisted pink and black plaid skirt with a black double-looped belt and fishnets. "Do you know if there's a way to figure out who attacked her?"

"Aria, I know that you're upset about this, but it could have been a lot worse." He pointed out. "Did they say if she was bitten?"

"No, it was just scratches." I answered. "It was me that did it, wasn't it?"

"There is a reason why a lot of werewolves don't have friends you aren't. There aren't a lot of packs left" He told me. "Have you told them yet?"

"I haven't told anyone but you." I remarked. "I don't plan on telling anyone."

"Well I have to know something. What happened between you and Fitz?" He questioned. I was a little taken aback by it.

"N…nothing happened between us." I lied.

"Aria, people don't stutter when they're telling the truth." He pointed out.

"Do you promise not to tell anyone?" I asked. He nodded. "We dated, but it's over now."

Emily's POV

I was having breakfast with my parents. It was the first meal that the three of us had eaten together in a long time.

"I don't think you should drive to the hospital stressed out." Dad said. "Maybe you should call Ben to see if he'll give you a lift."

"Dad, Ben and I broke up a while ago." I explained. "Maybe I'll ask Maya to take me."

"I still can't believe that they haven't found Jenna Cavanagh yet." Mom declared. "How hard is it to find a blind girl?"

At that point, my phone went off.

"Not at the table." She chided me.

"It might be about Hanna." I pointed out.

"Pam…" Dad remarked.

It wasn't from Hanna, but it was from her mom. I went to my room and got changed into a Rolling Stones tee and jeans before I went to the hospital. I noticed that I wasn't the only one there. I sat at the foot of her bed.

"Does it hurt?" I asked.

"A little but I'm mostly numb." Hanna admitted.

"Do you remember what attacked you?" Spencer questioned.

"It was a wolf. It had brown fur and blue eyes." Hanna explained. I noticed Aria flinched when Hanna described it. Maybe she was afraid of wolves.

"It was probably a coyote." Her mom corrected. "We don't have wolves in this part of the country."

"Mom, you've been here the whole time? Do you wanna go home for a little while?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah, I'll be back in a couple of hours." Her mom declared before she left.

"So, is there some kind of spell you can do to heal yourself?" I inquired.

"I don't know any." She replied.

"Do you two think I can talk to Hanna alone?" Aria questioned.

"Yeah, sure." I remarked before Spencer and I left the room.

Aria's POV

"I'm sorry." I stated before I gave her a hug.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for." She pointed out,. At that point, I really wanted to tell her, but I couldn't because I knew it could end my friendship with her.

"I'm sorry for not being around." I stated. "I was kind of MIA when you were attacked and didn't even hear about it until a few hours after it happened."

"Well you probably couldn't have done anything." She said. "So, have you had sex with Noel yet?"

"No!" I replied with a blush.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

"If that's someone with painkillers, let them in." She stated. I opened the door to see Noel. He had a gift basket. I realized that I should probably buy her something as an 'I'm sorry I almost killed you' gift. "Well look who couldn't stay away."

"Hi, Hanna. I thought you might like this stuff." Noel replied. He put the basket down and the two of us went out into the hallway.

"So, what did she say?" He asked me.

"It was me." I declared.

"But she doesn't know it was you?" He added.

"No." I remarked.

Hanna's POV

I woke up to see the bear Noel got me in my face. it was creepy. I turned it away as the door slowly opened. The first thing that I saw was a white bra.

"What the fuck, Mona?" I asked.

"I'm waving a white bra. That's like the international peace sign amongst women." She said. I couldn't help but smile a little. "Can I come in?"

"Yes." I invited as she walked inside.

"I brought the spell book. With any luck, you'll be out of here in a few minutes." She stated.

"Mona, don't." I replied. "Just because I'm a real witch doesn't mean that we should mess around with this stuff. You could end up making things worse."

"If I hadn't uninvited you from my party, you wouldn't have felt so desperate that you had to sneak around the edges and get attacked by an animal." She declared. "I'm sorry."

"Mona, it's not anyone's fault." I declared. "Can we just put the past few days behind us?"

"I don't remember anything about those two days." She remarked. "Now we have to do something about your lack of makeup immediately."

Later that night…or day, I wasn't sure because I kept falling asleep, I woke up again to a dimmed room. I saw someone standing there. It looked like…no it couldn't be.

"Did you miss me?" She inquired.

"Ali?" I replied weakly. The drugs were making me kind of weary. She was dressed in her usual attire. I wondered how she managed to get in without anyone noticing her. "I knew you weren't dead."

"I heard that too." She responded. "But dead is really just a relative term."

"What happened to you? Why did you run away?" I asked.

"It's complicated Hanna. It's way harder than anything in school." She told me. "I wish I could tell you everything, but it's not something that you can know about yet."

"Why not?" I questioned.

"It'll all make sense later on." She answered. "I always knew I had a great group of friends. Though, Aria surprised me. I know she's sorry."

"Where did you go? To meet a boy? Noel?" I asked her.

"Noel and I only happened once." She replied.

"Please just tell me the truth." I begged. I could barely keep my eyes open. I wasn't even sure if I was dreaming or not.

"It won't make any difference, Darling." She said.

"How can you say that? What aren't you telling us?" I asked.

"The truth won't help you out. Just keep practicing. There will be a time when you need to use magic." She replied. "I told the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time and look where I am now. Be careful who you tell. Now do you know where the blood bank is? I knew that you would make it but I still had to see you. You were also smart not to let it bite you."

She then walked out of the room and I fell asleep.

Aria's POV

On Monday, I knew what I had to do. I had to tell him it was finally over. I hoped that he would leave me alone. I didn't want him to become one of those teachers that became obsessed when I tried to end it. There was only way.

"You know when I started this, I was just looking to get laid because I was really horny that day." I admitted.

"I think I'm going to take the job in New York." He remarked. "I'll start teaching there next semester and we won't have to see each other again. In the meantime, I'll suggest you for an independent study for the rest of the year. Maybe instead of an exam, you can make your novel your final grade. I'll even take a rough draft."

That was a lot of pressure, but if it meant that I didn't have to go to his class anymore, I would do it. What happened with Hanna made me think that if I got back with him, he would only get hurt or killed and I didn't want that. I also couldn't help but wonder how the school was going to replace him, but there was probably some other graduate from Hollis that would love the position.

Spencer's POV

"Spencer, can I talk to you in my office?" Ian questioned. I nervously walked inside. "So, how's Hanna doing?"

"She seemed okay. She's going to miss some days." I replied. I didn't like being alone with him, even though I was pretty sure that he wasn't going to do anything.

"Well that's good." He said. "So, Melissa tells me that you have a boyfriend now."

"I do." I stated. Come to think of it, I probably should have seen him. It had been such a crazy few days that I hadn't really had time. I didn't expect him to come and visit Hanna because he didn't really know her. "So did you need anything else because I kind of have to get to class right now."

"No." He stated. With that, I walked out of the room as fast as I could.

Emily's POV

You know I never thought to ask my dad about what I was. It had been so hectic lately. I was a succubus. It wasn't like I could be the only one. I would have to bring it up sometime. Not to mention, I felt a little weak. Did I have to kill men to be stronger? I supposed that I was glad that I wasn't with Ben anymore. I didn't know how everything worked, but I had a feeling that I might have killed him if I had stayed with him.

I then went to see Aria in the hallway. I still found it strange how she just disappeared on Saturday night. I knew that she was mad at Spencer over what she said about Alison, but was that really enough that she would just disappear for hours over? Something didn't add up, but it wasn't like she had anything to do with what happened to Hanna.

"So what did you talk to Mr. Fitz about?" I asked her.

"I'm not going to be in English class anymore." She explained. "Since I can't transfer to another class, he's going to give me the time to work on my novel."

"But why do you not want to be in class with him anymore?" I questioned.

"It's just that I feel not as challenged in this class. I should be in AP English." She remarked. She was lying about something. "So I haven't talked to you about your dad being back yet? What's that like?"

"Well I haven't had a lot of time to talk to him." I admitted. "I have so many questions and so much to fill him in on."

"Did you tell your parents how you felt about Ali?" She questioned.

"No. Nothing really happened and I don't think that they need to know." I replied. I was going to say that she was dead, but I knew that was a sensitive subject for her, so I didn't.

"Well you're not the only one. When I was in Iceland, I had a bit of a girlfriend." She admitted. "My parents and brother didn't know about it."

"You had a girlfriend?" I asked before the bell rang.

Hanna's POV

"So, I brought you pudding." Lucas remarked as he entered the room. "What's your favorite kind?"

"Tapioca." I replied. Of course, it reminded me of an old episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

"Tapioca!" He exclaimed and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You know, Lucas, you don't have to skip school to see me." I told him.

"I told the office that I was doing community service." He declared. "I know that I happen to have a very believable face."

"Well you're a good friend." I stated.

"Thanks." He responded.

"You know being friends with somebody is sometimes more important than getting to someone in a different way." I declared. "So I've been having all sorts of crazy things happen. I'm not sure what was real and what wasn't."

"Like did I kiss you when I thought you were asleep?" He questioned. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"Well I was surprised by it. I didn't know that you felt that way about me." I admitted. "Lucas, I have a boyfriend. I like you, just not like that, like you think I do."

"I think you deserve a better boyfriend." He declared.

"That's between me and Sean. I'm not saying that this will never happen and I'll never like you as more than a friend, but can we please just be friends right now?" I requested.

"Well at this very moment, I'm not okay with it. I'm gonna go." He declared.

Damn it, why did this have to happen? Now I was confused. I knew it was weird. Why did things with Sean have to be so weird? Why did I have to feel uncomfortable things around Lucas? Why couldn't things just stay how they were?

Emily's POV

I had just gotten off the phone with Maya when I saw my dad was in the doorway. It was going to be a hard thing to talk about. If I said the wrong thing, he would think that I was crazy.

"Hey dad, is there about our family that I should know about?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" He inquired.

"You know any sort of family secrets." I replied.

"What are you trying to say?" He asked.

"Dad, there's something wrong with me. It's that I feel a certain way and I'm hungry for something that isn't food. I just want to know if anyone else in our family has was like me." I answered. I tried to be vague enough that if he didn't realize what I was talking about, I wouldn't sound like I was crazy.

"Oh, I see. You aunt did. Before she died, she did have a few relationships with women. Have you told your mother yet?" He responded.

Well…that was not what I expected. Did I really give off that vibe? Also did he know about the succubus part?

"No." I replied. "I will. Please don't tell her."

Aria's POV

"So how did you and Fitz meet?" Noel asked curiously. We were out in the woods.

"It was a bar over by Hollis." I explained. "He thought I was in college and we talked about writing."

"If I had known that was such an aphrodisiac for you, I would have said something." He joked.

"I sometimes wonder if that's all it ever was about for us." I admitted. "With you, I feel something real."

"Well I think we should try to wait." He declared. "I know wolf hormones can be rough, but I think we'd enjoy it more if we do."

"You've been hanging out with Sean too long." I quipped.

Spencer's POV

I went home and I couldn't help but notice that Ian was in a suit.

"I have some great news to tell you." He declared.

"I'm confused. You cancelled practice." I replied.

"We're married." Melissa interrupted. She was wearing a white dress.

"What?" I asked.

"We eloped." Melissa explained.

"Yeah, it's like last year never happened." Ian added,

"Do Mom and Dad know?" I inquired.

"Not yet." Melissa stated.

"We expect that they'll be a little surprised, but I think that they'll come around." Ian said.

Emily's POV

I decided to look into my aunt. I wanted to know what I could about her. I was lucky that I could find things on the internet. I found that she had a boyfriend die while she was in college. Could it be that she had killed him? She also died of a heart attack. That was also suspicious. Would that happen to me if I didn't kill people? Would I literally have to kill boys in order to survive? It could be just a coincidence, but what if it wasn't? What if it wasn't?

So, the big news here is Alison finally showed up and she knows about Aria being a werewolf. Also what happened between Ian and Spencer? Please don't forget to review.
