A/N please don't be angry for just now updating. I have bit a little bit out of commission of late and I am finally getting back on my feet. I promise I will finish this story. For old followers welcome back, for new ones thank you and I won't let you down.

Previously: Emily shook her head which caused a whirlwind of pain. Before her mind returned to the darkness she was able to say one last thing "no…Paige." Hanna barely heard her but as soon as the words hit her ears all of the puzzle pieces fell into place.

Paige had barely made it 15 feet off the train before her aunt was able to point her out. She was still hyped on adrenaline but she could slowly start to feel a sharp pain in her side from falling on a chair.
"Paige, over here!" Her aunt waved her over and Paige trudged towards her. "Are you alright?" Jess could see her holding her side in pain but Paige just nodded and smiled. "can we get out of here?" jess thought it had something to so with how things went and had no idea the real circumstances. As they walked towards the car, Paige could her the waning sounds of the train moving into the distance. "Hey are you still dating that nurse from the hospital a few towns over?" Jess looked at her confused, "Yeah, why?" Paige pulled herself into the passenger seat and struggle to put her seat belt on. "Do you think he would do a house call?" Jess didn't answer but got out her phone to dial him up.

On the Train

"She's still breathing, right?"

"Yes Hanna she is still breathing like the last 10 times you asked"

"Spencer you don't have to be mean to her, how long till we get there and did somebody call the cops?" Aria looked up towards the two adults that they had called from the front to help them.

"As soon as we hit the next station there is an ambulance and squad car ready to take him in and your friend to the hospital. She is very lucky, but what exactly happened?" The girls weren't sure if it was just a creepy guy trying to take advantage of Emily or if it was A. They knew the masked person who saved her had ran off and that would have been the best person to ask but now they were left to do what they do best, lie.

Spencer was the first to respond. "I think he was drunk or something and tried something with Em. She didn't want it so he got mad. We don't really know everything yet." The man nodded but wasn't convinced. "And who was the one who was able to subdue this man?" He pointed to the man in the doll costume still unconscious. They had tied him up and made sure he was breathing but left him where he was at. Aria started "There was this…" but Hanna interrupted, "me, I was the first back here and they were behind me and I saw him with his hands on her so I got the chair and hit him." Aria and Spencer both looked at her not knowing why she had covered for the masked girl. But Hanna knew that if what she thought was true and the phantom had been Paige, dragging her into this would end up with them never getting her back. "That was very brave of you. Your friend is lucky to have someone like you who would go against a person twice their size." His tone was half endearing and half suspicious. The man walked towards the back to talk with one of the other parents and one of the engineers for the train. They had not notified anyone else of what had happened not wanting to scare everyone especially since they thought this was just an isolated situation of a horny guy taking it to far.

"Hanna why did you lie?" Spencer started "We know the masked person did it. You were probably covering for A."

"Spencer don't start…"

"We are sitting here hoping Emily is okay because someone in a baby face costume tried to choke her out. Do you seriously want to rule out that this is A?" They both shook their head. She turned to Hanna "So why did you cover?"

Hanna was torn between telling Spencer and Aria that she thinks the girl was Paige. There was something in Emily's eyes that said she didn't mean to say that out loud. She also knew about the note which meant that it could probably just be more heart break for Emily. In the end, Hanna knew it would come out and it was better for them to know now.

"The girl wasn't A. " Spencer didn't let her finish before saying, "But how do you know?" Hanna glared at her to stop speaking and she did.

"I saw that girl in the ticket line and I knew she was familiar."

"Yeah because she's A." This time Aria and Hanna glared at her.

"One more word and you're going to look like the potato sack over there." Spencer started to say something but took the warning and closed her mouth completely.

Hanna continued, "I knew the girl because we all know her. Some of us better than others." She nodded her heads towards Emily but Aria and Spencer were not catching on. She thought if she didn't explicitly say it and let them come to a conclusion then it wouldn't be like she was hurting Emily as bad but Aria and Spencer were not catching anything.

"Hanna you were never good at code, what are you trying to say?" Aria just wanted answers.

"There may or may not be a field hockey penalty named after her." As the words left her lips the shock was radiating on Spencer's face. "Oh my God it can't be" Aria was still behind.

"Can someone please tell me what is going on?" Spencer was in her own world having a million thoughts rush through brain. "Hanna, that couldn't have been Paige."

Aria finally was up to speed but was left nearly speechless. "Does Emily know? How do you know? How is she back? Why is she back?" Before Hanna had time to answer anything a flood of new questions entered Spencer's mind and she came back to earth. "Does this mean she remembers? Is she going to come back for good? Why did she just leave? What the hell is happening?"

Hanna put her hands over both their mouths to silence them. The parents behind them were starting to notice the level of noise they were generating and Hanna didn't want anyone noticing or listening in on their conversation.

"I told you, I knew I recognized her in line but I couldn't put my finger on it. She is much skinnier and her hair is longer but I know that is Paige. Plus I think Emily knows too. Before she went under she said her name." Spencer looked almost mad that Hanna had kept any of this information from her. "And she wasn't lying I did have Algebra with her freshman year for about 3 days before I had to switch out. I'm telling you it was Paige."

"Okay, okay I believe you but why was she here?"

Hanna looked over at the unconscious Emily and back to Spencer, "I have no idea but if she wasn't I don't know what would have happened."

Jess's House

"Stop, don't touch it." Paige was protesting her Aunt trying to take her arm out of her shirt because too much movement made her almost faint with pain. "Paige, Michael isn't going to be here for another half an hour or later I need to tell him at least what we are dealing with." Paige knew she was right but it didn't make it hurt less. She was holding on to the counter with her right arm as Jess moved her should back and out of her shirt. With one last pull, she was able to get the shirt off. Paige tug her hand deeper into the counter barley able to breathe. Jess folded the clothes next to her and then stepped back waiting for Paige to look up. When their eyes met, she gave a very motherly look before questioning her, "So are you going to tell me what happened or am I just going to pretend that your clumsiness finally decided to try and kill you?" She tapped her foot on the floor waiting for an answer.

"I don't know." Paige finally whispered.

"Paige you have what looks like a dislocated shoulder and I wouldn't be surprised if a rib was broken what do you mean you don't know?"

"I know how I got like this but I'm not sure why." This still wasn't a good enough answer for Jess and she grabbed the clothes off the counter and went to go get something that Paige could change into until Michael got there. Paige was left sitting in a bra and her long pants barely able to move anything. Across from her, she could see her reflection in the oven and she knew she looked pitiful. Her hair was still in a low pony tail behind her neck, her mask was off but there was still an outline of where it had been. The final thing she saw was the same thing she sees every day the scar across her abdomen. It had healed to a dull white line but it still represented so much pain and loss. She ran her hand across it and thought about how much destruction this thin scar had caused. From what she learned tonight, it not only cost her but the people she loved or at least used to love.

"Hey Paige do you have your phone on you?" Paige was shaken out of her thoughts and brought back to reality. She knew her phone wasn't in her pants pocket and she thought she had it in her jacket, "Check the jacket it is probably in the inside pocket." Jess was walking in looking through the pockets but didn't come up with anything.

"Could you have left it there?" Paige started to panic knowing that if she left it there that meant there was proof for her parents to find. She reached to quickly into her pants pockets and winced in pain but there was nothing there.

"Maybe I'll call it and see who picks up." Paige tried to remember the last time she had it but the last few hours were such a blur she honestly didn't know. Did it fall out when she sat down in the car with Emily? Or was it when she hit that guy? While she was still thinking her aunt had got her phone to call. She could see the worry on Paige's face. "Hey don't worry you probably just left it in the car or something." She began to dial when there was a knock on the door. "I'll get that then call it's probably Michael, tell me if you hear anything."

On the Train

They were only about 2 minutes from the stop and Emily was still out.

"Hanna I'm still not sure if you're right. It could all just be a big coincidence." Spencer didn't even sound convinced. "When in our lives has anything been a coincidence. If you name me one time I will gladly go jump off this moving train." Spencer was about to speak when a ring came from the corner of the room. The adults had obviously not hear it because they weren't paying attention. Aria got up from where she was sitting to try and find where the noise was coming from. Under a large sheet in the back she saw the phone lighting up. She grabbed it but it was too late and the call ended.

"Hey what are you doing?" The man who questioned them from before asked. Hanna was quick to respond "When I was trying to save my friend's life I must have dropped my phone I just remembered." She had emphasized the saving part hoping he would drop it, which he did. Aria sat down again and opened the phone home screen. It was locked and the background was just of some movie called Moulin Rouge. "what is a 'malin rogue'?"

"Moulin Rouge Hanna, it's a movie."

"Do you think this is Paige's phone?"

"Hanna we don't even know if it was Paige."

The phone began ringing again and 'Aunt Jess' came up on the screen. The train was coming to a stop and they could see a faint light of the ambulance outside.

"Well answer it." They started passing the phone until Spencer put it on speaker phone.

"Hello? Hello, is anyone there?"

Hanna nudge Spencer. "Yes." Hanna glared at her like that was the best she had.

"well hi, I'm Jess Allen and my niece seems to have left her phone on that Halloween train ride. I'm assuming you know about it because you have her phone. I was wondering if there was a way you could get it back to us. Her mother would kill me if I lost it." In the background they could her a man's voice and a door closing. The woman on the phone had obviously put her hand over it and was welcoming the person in. "Hey Michael thanks for coming, Paige is in the kitchen. I think she is worse than I thought maybe even a broken rib." As soon as Spencer heard her say the name Paige she hung up the phone.

"What did you do that for?" Aria was obviously upset.

"She said Paige. She said Paige was in the kitchen. This phone is Paige's phone."

"Spencer, I know you call me slow but that was ridiculous." Hanna grabbed the phone to call the woman back.

"Hanna stop, if this is Paige's phone then that means she was here with Emily and saved her. If we get her phone back then we won't be able to find her and then Emily will just be stuck again where she's been for six weeks."

"Spencer you realize if we meet her to give her back her phone we will be able to talk to her or know where she is." Spencer hadn't thought everything through but knew Hanna had a point.

Jess's House

"Did anyone answer?" Paige could barely get out the words as Michael was starting to put pressure on her ribs. "Someone did but then they hung up all of a sudden. I didn't even get to ask their name." As she said this the phone began to ring.

"Oh look Paige, you're calling me, must be magic." She did spirit fingers in the air as she grabbed the phone to answer it. Paige was nervous of who was on the other end because the only options were Emily's friends or some parent. Either way it was going to bring up questions of why she was in that room and why she fled.

"Hi. Yes by niece Paige left her phone." She was mostly nodding her head and Paige was straining to hear what she said.

"Paige I really think you need to go to the hospital to get this arm put back in place." She did not want to leave this pace and she knew one foot in the hospital meant her parents would find out.

"Oh my God, I am so sorry about your friend. That hospital is actually where my boyfriend works so I could pick it up there. Who should we be looking for?" She waited for the person on the other line. "Okay, Hanna thank you so much we will be there soon." Paige's face went white.

"Your phone will be waiting for you at the hospital."

"That's perfect because this one needs some x-rays and a few pain killers." Michael went in the other room to make a phone call while Jess started to get the clothes for Paige to try and put on.

"So that girl on the phone, Hanna. I remember you talking about a Hanna who was friends with Emily. I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions if I thought that was the same one, would I?" Paige couldn't look her in the eye but she knew what was about to happen.

"Paige what happened, who is going to the hospital?"

"Emily" Paige whispered. "Emily is the one going to the hospital."

a/n if I do what I'm thinking then this will be another 10 or so chapters. I'm bringing A into the mix and in the next two chapters someone is coming back to Rosewood!
