Previously on Dead But Alive…
SPENCER POV
"You aren't safe, Hanna, anywhere!" Emily exclaims as Hanna is sitting down, covered in a blanket. "It could only be in a matter of minutes when A could come crashing in, with some ghost from Ravenswood too!" Emily paces around the room, freaked out.
"So weird." Emily looks at me, half smiling. "Having a half-spirit lying in your bed."
"It's getting worse." Miranda exclaims.
"My power, it's slowly returning." Miranda cries, looking at herself. Hanna looks at her, nervous.
"Abigail?" Miranda questions as she looks at the blonde girl.
"You guys are in danger." Abigail says, nervous. "Go to Ravenswood, something is happening." Abigail looks up, extremely scared.
HANNA POV
"5… Pact…" It growls. "You… shouldn't… have… seen…" It mumbles as it steps closer.
"We aren't afraid of you." Miranda moves in front, defending us. Abigail steps next to her, ready to aim lightning at the Edwardian ghost.
Suddenly, the ghost is flung and hit on the ground across from all of us. Miranda looks up and sees who it is. I look up too and we are shocked.
Beatrice Grunwald.
"She was my worst enemy," Beatrice begins. "She tried putting a curse on me in the afterlife, but I was stronger than her."
"I was stronger than her." Beatrice adds. She looks at Olivia and the others. "She hired Dylan to kill your father." She looks at Olivia. Olivia's eyes fill with tears. "Max was also connected to her somehow." Beatrice finishes.
CALEB POV
"Tomorrow, we are going to work to bring both of them back." I tell Remy and the others. They nod, determined.
"Unless Max or anyone gets in our way." Olivia mumbles.
"Tomorrow, we'll fight." I announce, and everyone nods
::Fade in::
PRESENT, DECEMBER 23RD, 9:28AM
HANNA POV
"Leave me alone!" I scream at the Edwardian ghost. She laughs at me and growls.
"I'll meet you in hell." the Edwardian sneers at me. –A appears behind her, laughing. –A removes its hoodie and Alison smiles.
"Time to go, bitch." She hisses, Ali raises the gun toward me, and she pulls the trigger.
I wince awake, sweating and crying. I look around, panting loudly. Miranda runs into the room.
"Are you okay; I thought I heard you scream!" Miranda asks me, her lips slightly apart. I rub the sweat off my forehead and take one last breath.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." I whisper, looking in a distance. I brush a strand of curly hair behind my ears. "I'm fine; I'm just going to get dressed." I finish as I make my bed. Miranda nods and leaves the room.
This wasn't the first time I had a dream like that, I've been having them ever since I came here. Only, Ali wasn't in it until yesterday. It was only –A, -A that never removed the mask up until today. I look in the full body mirror after making my bed. I look at my clothes, and then at my face.
I don't look like myself, I look-
-Haunted.
My curly blonde hair is a faded shade of blonde; my blue eyes are losing color; and my skin is pale.
Screw you, Ravenswood.
I snap my fingers and I'm back in this stupid white silky dress again and put on my white heel shoes. I apply pink lipstick and apply black eye shadow to my eyes. As much as I look into the mirror, I don't see myself anymore, I see a worn out ghost.
My eyes fill with tears and I try blinking them away. I take one last look in the mirror, sucking in a breath, and I leave the room.
"Morning." Caleb greets me and gives me a kiss hello. I half smile, walking over to the coffee maker. "Why so silent?" I bite my lip as I don't face him.
"I um, don't feel like talking." I take out a mug and I pour the coffee into the maker. He chuckles and walks next to me.
"You always have something to say, Hanna." He laughs and I smile, my dimples flaring. I just love the sound of his laughter.
"No, I just, I had a nightmare, that's all." I say in a quiet voice, pressing buttons on the coffee maker.
"What was it about?" He looks at me, raising an eyebrow. I turn to face him, looking down.
"About the Edwardian ghost and, um," I hesitate to say the name. "Ali." I say in a small voice, tears forming in my eyes. Caleb caresses my hair and pulls me into a hug. I hug him tightly, never wanting to leave his grasp.
PRESENT, JUNE 23RD, 10:28AM, SPENCER'S POV
"Why'd you wake me up so early?" Emily mutters, rubbing her eyes.
"It's the last day for Hanna, we need to help her." I inform Emily, drinking a cup of coffee. Emily gets out of bed, looking alarmed.
"Crap, I almost forgot." Emily bites her lip and puts a t-shirt over her tank top.
"We have to do as much as we can to get her back." I tell her, determined.
"What about Aria?" Emily yawns, getting jeans on.
"I don't know if we can trust her." I mutter, looking at the ground.
"You are so right!" Aria pops into Emily's bedroom, laughing. "Yet it took you this long to figure it out." Aria says, her eyes flickering red. "Don't underestimate me." She winks. Aria struts around the room, a hand on her hip, smirking.
"You sound just like Alison." I look at her suspiciously. She looks at me, still smiling, backing away.
"Ali?" Emily asks as she walks with me, getting closer to her.
"What was I supposed to do?" Aria/Alison exclaims as she backs into a corner. "I need as many people I can get, I can overshadow." She smirks.
"Wait, wait." I walk backwards. "It depends who was the weakest. It couldn't have been-"
"Oh but it could've. Aria may have killed Shana, but it haunts her every time she closes her eyes." Aria/Alison snaps, frowning. "She is the weakest link."
"Get out of her body Ali, you are hurting her. Where the hell is she?" I exclaim. Aria/Alison smirks and doesn't say a word.
"Where is she?" I scream, shaking her shoulders. She laughs at me and fades away. I curse under my breath and an overwhelming feeling takes over me.
"DAMMIT!" I curse, and I throw a punch at the wall. Emily runs over to me and comforts me.
"Spencer it's okay-"
"No its not!" I cry. I look down and I rub my forehead. "We can't compete against black magic, it's impossible." Emily sighs and sits on the bed.
"You were so confident, what the hell happened?" Emily snaps.
"Supernatural crap happened." I mutter, closing my eyes.
"We need to go to Ravenswood, I'm not giving up." Emily yells as she yanks me out of the room. I run out of the house. Emily grabs my arm and we run to the nearest bus stop, our hair flying rapidly in the wind. I can barely see anything, but I'm going forward. We both get onto the bus and I steady my breathing.
"What the hell Emily!" I exclaim. "What are we supposed to do when we get there?"
"We need to warn Hanna, as soon as possible." Emily says as she looks out the window. I roll my eyes and I rest my head on the window.
PRESENT; 11:08AM, HANNA POV
Miranda runs into the room as I watch Caleb do research on the ghost on the computer.
"They are heading to Ravenswood." Miranda reminds us. Caleb nods, never looking away from the laptop. Miranda walks over and looks at the computer. "What are you doing?"
"I'm doing research on the Edwardian ghost." Caleb answers her. "I'm trying to find some troubled pasts and its weaknesses." I look at Miranda, half smiling. Caleb searches 'Edwardian Ghost weakness" Into the Zaplook search box. A picture of a small purple pyramid comes up on results. Caleb furrows his eyebrows and clicks the link with the picture.
The Purple Pyramid was found in the Great Pyramid, and was found in 1742. No one could identify it purely, but it was researched that a purple pyramid could stop ghosts and takes away its power. Unfortunately, the aftermath of doing that to a ghost, it turns mortal but dies afterward, never to return. The site reads.
"Wait, I've seen that before." Miranda speaks up, looking at the picture. "My father gave me that, before he passed away. He left it in my room I think, when I was younger." Miranda explains.
"How could you remember that?" I ask her in disbelief.
"Sometimes you could never forget." Miranda looks at the picture, sighing. She pops out of the house and goes to her uncle's.
MIRANDA POV
"Mr. Collins?" Miranda calls out. Mr. Collins comes down the stairs.
"Yes Miranda?" He responds, coming down to greet me.
"D-did my father give you a pyramid before he died?" I ask him softly, he hesitates to respond.
"Why are you asking me this?" Mr. Collins looks down at me. I look outside and back at him.
"It's the answer to stopping whatever is cursing Ravenswood." I tell him, confidently. He crosses his arms and looks afar.
"I can't give it to you." He tells me. I furrow my eyebrows and I shake my head.
"You need to."
"You aren't ready."
"I don't care."
I look at him in determination. And he looks at me, waiting for me back down.
"Fine." He answers. Mr. Collins scratches his head and gestures me to follow him. We both go upstairs and I follow him into his office.
He looks in his drawers and takes out a black box covered in dust. Mr. Collins gently hands it over to me and I hold it. "You need to be careful, Miranda. You mustn't open it until the ghost tries to harm you or any of your friends." Mr. Collins reminds me, looking me straight in the eye.
"I will." I look down at the box. He smiles softly and looks at me.
"It was nice seeing you, my child." Mr. Collins looks down. I smile and hug him. When I pull away, he wipes a tear from his eye. "Good luck." He coughs and stands straight. I take one last look at him before popping out of the house.
HANNA POV, 11:49AM
Miranda pops back into the room, with a black box in her hand.
"Is that really-"
"Yes, it is." Miranda interrupts me, looking at the box. "We can't open it until that Edwardian ghost comes back." Miranda slowly sets the box down onto the table. "Someone needs to watch it; we can't have Alison coming in here." She rolls her eyes at the last remark. "Or Aria, or Alison slash Aria..." She thinks.
"Aria is being over shadowed by Alison." I tell her and she stops thinking about it. Caleb walks in and he sees the box.
"Is that really it?" Caleb asks. We both nod and he goes over, about to open it.
"Don't open it." I tell him before he can touch it. "At least until the ghost comes to attack us or something."
"Okay, we have to be ready at all times. Make sure Ali or any other ghost doesn't get their hands on the box or any jar." Caleb reminds us. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. I slowly walk to the door, extremely paranoid. Caleb and Miranda are watching me, standing up.
I fling open the door.
"Party of 5?" Spencer chuckles as everyone stares at me. Spencer, Emily, Olivia, Luke, and Remy all walk inside.
"We're all here to help you, Hanna." Olivia says, smiling. Miranda cough and Olivia flinches. "A-And Miranda."
I smile at all of them. "Well, what are we waiting for?"
What are we waiting for?
