Hi! :D here comes chapter three of Dead but –A live. I'm surprised I haven't gotten writers block—crap, I jinxed it xD. Oh well, enjoy!
Previously on Dead but Alive…
What are you looking at?" Caleb asks Miranda. She looks at him and then me.
"Uh, no one." Miranda hesitates, forcing a smile.
"What the hell is going on?" I exclaim as Miranda is taken aback my yelling.
"It's complicated, Hanna." Miranda whispers. I roll my eyes and put my hands over my head.
"That's the answer to everything now?" I question her, extremely annoyed now.
"I know you." I whisper. She smiles a sweet kid smile while looking at me.
"I just wanted to say." She begins in a cute voice. "Welcome to hell." Max says in a deep, demonic voice as she fades away.
PRESENT- HANNA POV
I open the shower curtains, trying to find out what I can actually use. Miranda and I had agreed I can only do certain things when Caleb is out of the house. Yeah, I was pretty bummed about not being visible by some people. I mean, come on, I was the 'It girl' for a year and a half, and now I am going to be neglected by everyone forever.
I step into the shower after putting my hair up in a lazy bun. I adjust the temperature with the nob. Suddenly, the nob starts to shake. I back up in fear, waiting for a reaction. The nob falls off and the water bursts through the wall. I gasp and jump out of the shower putting a towel on. I look around the bathroom, and my eyes travel up to the mirror. 'You must leave' reads the letters in the fog. I open the door and run out of the bathroom.
"Is anyone here?" I exclaim, holding my towel together. I roll my eyes when I get no response and walk to the guest room to put on a night gown. Suddenly, there's a faint knock on the door. "Who is it?" I ask as I adjust my hair in the mirror. I turn around and I see a boy with no eyes. I wince at the boy. "Who are you, please tell me!" I exclaim at him. He smiles creepily and fades away. My eyebrows furrow in fear and I look at the ceiling as the lights flicker. I turn around and Miranda appears in front of me. "Dammit Miranda, you scared the hell out of me!"
"Sorry, but you shouldn't be roaming these halls." Miranda reminds.
"Why?" I question as I slightly tilt my head. Miranda hesitates to answer. Just when she's about to open her mouth, the lights start to flicker on and off and voices start to flow through the room
'You shouldn't be here'
'Get out of here'
'You aren't welcome'
'LEAVE'
'NOW'
Miranda and I wince and we try to escape the hallway through a door, but it's locked.
'Don't come back'
'Stay away'
'You shouldn't have seen'
'The pact'
'5'
Voices were heard everywhere. One voice had now started repeating the number five. I look up at the ceilings.
"What the hell is going on?" I shout through the voices. Miranda looks at me, terrified.
"The voices, we have to get out of here!" Miranda shouts back. I grab the nob but it won't turn.
"It won't open!" I scream, my voice slowly getting strained.
'LEAVE NOW'
'LEAVE NOW'
'5'
'5'
'5'
The voice starts fading away slowly, and the lights flicker off. I try my best to turn the nob, but my hand is shaking way too much. I eventually turn it and I get the hell out of the halls.
"I need to get the hell OUT of here!" I yell at Miranda.
"You can't leave." Miranda says quietly, wiping away tears on her face from fear.
"Why?" I question as I wipe away sweat on my forehead. Miranda looks at me again, struggling to find her voice. My hands clench into a fist but I try to remain patient.
"OKAY." She exclaims. "You better sit down, because it's an extremely long story." Miranda adds.
So Miranda tells me about the bridge again, which I knew. Then she tells me about the 5 pact and how they played the Ouija board to try to contact her. Luke, Remy, and Livy ended up seeing her. Caleb met his ancestor, who later on had died from an unknown cause, but he was scared. She told me about Abigail Wheeler, and how she knows she is still here. Mainly each year, 5 people die when someone from the military returns, about her 'mother' coming back, and how Caleb ended up, hurt, in the hospital. Lastly, she told me about how Olivia and Luke's father had died, and that this boy Dylan did it which the girl in red had been helping him.
I'm currently sitting on the couch with a cup of tea, shaken up from this story. I'm out of the towel and into the white silky dress with heels and my hair is curled normal. "Olivia is still broken, and we need to find Dylan." Miranda adds. (A/N: Miranda didn't tell her about the pact because she didn't want her being added.)
"Now I know why Caleb kept telling me that it was complicated." I state. "This supernatural crap needs to end."
"We still don't know who this evil leader is." Miranda responds. Suddenly, Caleb comes inside. My eyes widen, but I calm down in realization that he can't see me.
"Hey." Caleb greets as he puts his bag down. "I think we need to use the Ouija board again, Remy has been feeling another ghost- a half ghost actually." My eyes widen at this and I look at Miranda. Suddenly, there's a voice in my head.
You can't leave the house, what are we going to do? – Miranda
We can send mental messages? - Hanna
The perks of being a ghost. – Miranda
I smirk at this, but continue listening.
"I don't think it's a good idea, things broke when we did it." Miranda responds.
"We need to Miranda, it's important and it has to happen tonight." Caleb reminds. "It's a full moon."
"Caleb I-"Miranda begins but Caleb leaves to get the others. Miranda looks back at me in fear once again.
"You have to get out of this house." Miranda tells me. I look at the door and I walk through it. Suddenly, I'm in the yard of the house. Miranda sees me through the window.
He'll still know it's you. – Miranda
I go for the gates. I try to open it but a force keeps me from walking any further then in front of the gates. I turn around and I see Caleb and the others go inside. My eyes widen and I run back in. I quickly run up the stairs and sneak past the others to Miranda before they go inside.
"They're coming!" I whisper. Miranda has the same scared look.
Caleb is currently holding the Ouija board and the others are seated on the couch.
"Miranda, we need to do this." Caleb tells Miranda. Miranda looks at me from the corner of her eye. She nods slowly, a worried look forming on her face. He puts down the Ouija board and they all put their hands on except for Miranda, who is standing and watching.
"Is there another ghost in this house?" Olivia asks the board. The puck slowly goes to yes. I bite my lip and look at Miranda who is mirroring my look.
WITH THE LIARS IN ROSEWOOD: DECEMBER 19TH, 1:09AM. NO POV
Aria goes near Hanna, taking one last glance at the other sleeping girls in the hospital. She takes a seat in the chair and looks at unconscious Hanna.
"Hi, Hanna" Aria greets. She sighs at no response as she looks at her. "The doctors are still trying to find the bullet in your body, but so far it's unknown of where it had gone." Aria says quietly. She looks down, wiping away a falling tear. "I think they'll find it, they have to." She adds. "But you have to get better, Hanna. Please get better, for us." Aria says as another tear falls down her face. She takes in a deep breath and breathes out.
"We can't make it without you." Aria whispers. "You mean so much to us, and I'm really grateful to have you as a friend." She says as her lip quivers. Aria looks down and holds her hand. "When you get better, I promise, we'll watch gossip girl the whole night, and I won't be pouty about it." Aria says as she chuckles, lightning up the mood. She leans over and kisses Hanna's forehead. "Get better soon; we'll be in the waiting room when the doctor comes back, okay?" Aria reminds her. She walks away, but takes one last glance at her. Her eyes are closed, and she's unconsciously lying down with an air mask over her mouth. Aria sighs, and walks out of the room.
BACK TO THE 5 PACT IN RAVENSWOOD: DECEMBER 19TH, 1:28AM. HANNA'S POV
I silently watch as they ask the board the next question, trembling lightly. I watch Miranda and she lines her eyebrows in fear.
"Is this ghost a good one?" Olivia asks the board. The board goes to yes, and they all sigh in relief. "Did he or she die in this house?" The board switches to no. My lips slightly part, please do not ask where I died.
"Where did she die?" Olivia asks. I can't take it anymore. I put my arm out in front of me and lift it. The board starts to lift up quickly. I bend my arm to the right, and flinch it to the left. The Ouija board flies to the left and hits the wall, letters going everywhere and the board falling on the ground. Miranda looks at me and smiles a bit. I smile, my dimples showing and I give her a thumbs up. The rest of them flinch, and Miranda pretends to be scared. I chuckle and bite my lip.
"I- I guess she or he didn't want to talk anymore." Olivia says, a bit shaky in her voice.
"Whatever it was, it must've lied about being good." Caleb mutters. I chuckle at his remark. Suddenly, Caleb's head snaps in the direction my chuckle came from. My eyes widen and my mouth falls open. "Did you guys hear that?" The others turn their head and look at me, or at least I think they're looking at me. The lights flicker off, and this time, I didn't do that. The candles on the window still light on, and they fly up in midair, facing the wall. All of a sudden, there's writing forming on the wall.
H.M. is written on the wall. I realize those letters are my initials, hopefully Caleb doesn't realize-
"Hanna?" Caleb questions. Miranda looks at the wall.
"It couldn't be, no way in hell. Maybe it's something else, but not Hanna. She's in Rosewood!" Miranda lies. The TV suddenly turns on, showing me in the hospital, unconscious. The news reporter starts talking.
"It seems that there was a shooting on a rooftop in Rosewood, just near the Dilaurentis house. It was shown that a 17 year old girl, Hanna Marin, was allegedly shot by an unknown person." The news reporter explains. Allegedly, are you kidding me?! "She is now lying uncomfortably in the Rosewood hospital." The news reporter finishes. Caleb's eyes widen like they are about to pop out of his face. His eyebrows are furrowed, his face is pale and he's shaking. Everyone else has a shocked face, including Miranda, but mostly shocked that it was on the news and that Caleb had found out.
"I'm going to Rosewood." Caleb says as he grabs his coat silently.
"Caleb-"Miranda speaks but Caleb interrupts.
"NO, I have to go!" Caleb shouts in a shaky voice. Oh shit, this is so bad.
