The next day, Hanna, Caleb and Alex were at the hospital, Aria and Emily were visiting them, Toby had disappeared from the face of the earth, and Spencer was trying to find him; she needed explanations.
Finally, she thought that he should be in the Lost Woods Resort, packing everything up and erasing evidences. She drove there as fast as she could before it was too late. When she arrived, everything came back to her: the revelation, the shock, the feeling of being betrayed by the person she loved the most… . She felt goosebumps all over her body and creeps were consuming her. She shook those feelings off and walked towards the last cabin.
She went in as he was packing the last bag. He turned around, a gun in his hand. The pain she was feeling on her way there quickly turned into anger that was transformed into courage and force.
"You wanna shoot me? Go ahead!" she defied him. "You've already hurt me, and the second time won't make a difference."
Toby hesitated a bit: leaving people to die was easy but killing them directly was another thing.
As he fired his weapon, she moved out of the bullet's trajectory, and took advantage of that one lesson of Tae-Kwan-Do she had taken: she took his arm in between hers and pulled them closer which made him lean forward out of pain. She then hit him in the stomach with her knee. He released the gun and fell to the floor. She kicked him several times letting out her frustration, then grabbed the 9 mm and pointed it at him.
To her surprise, he let out a small laugh which started to get louder until he burst out laughing.
"You don't know what you're up against!" he said with a smirk. "I'm gonna tell you a secret bitch: I'm not the only one and I'm definitely not the last one. Neither are you girls. When you mistreat people, karma always gets revenge. Just ask your new friend… or Ali's other best friends. Ah! So many people to blackmail and hurt! Did you honestly think that a person alone could do all that? I thought you were the smartest. Maybe I was wrong, Spence-Spence."
She screamed for him to shut up. She couldn't hold back her tears, so she hit him on the head with the back of the gun: he passed out. Then, she called Emily, not being able to call the police herself, and told her everything that had happened between sobs.
A bit later, Spencer heard sirens get closer. She got up from the porch she was sitting on and headed towards the flashing police cars and ambulance. Emily and Aria saw an emotionless swaying Spencer walking towards them, a gun in hand. They ran to her and hugged her, but the hug was interrupted by the police officers who wanted to hear the details of everything that happened.
In the afternoon, everyone gathered back at the hospital, and for the very first time, they saw a broken Spencer. She was like the phoenix, she had burnt herself to the ground to find Toby and confront him, and now, they were gonna see what will rise out of the ashes.
"But what I don't understand is why did 'A' give us the name of his or her or its – I don't know – minion", wondered Aria.
"I've already said it. 'A' wants to destroy us, starting with the strongest link" replied Emily.
Spencer looked away then said: "We haven't seen the last of 'A'. We started hanging out with Alison years ago, and right now, we are still paying for it. Until every person Alison hurt gets locked away, this 'A' thing will not end. But thanks to Alex, we might be able to finish this."
I wanted to thank everyone who read this. It was the first time I write something like that, so I hope you enjoyed it :)) I couldn't end it completely because I can't really say who Big A is, you'll know from the actual show.
