Previously on Dead But Alive…
"Can we talk to the Edwardian ghost?" I ask the Ouija board, my voice shaky. The chip slowly moves to yes. "Okay, someone did that." I raise an eyebrow in disbelief. Everyone's face is as nervous as mine, and I look back down. I take a breath and I ask another question. "Why do you purposely kill five people?" I ask the board. The chip angrily slides to R, then to E, and starts to spell out Revenge.
"I didn't mean to kill her, I swear it!" The Edwardian girl cries, her eyes glossy.
"Who?" Olivia asks. Luke joins in, and looks at her.
"Alison. Alison Dilaurentis." She cries.
"She was in Ravenswood when I saw her. She had dark brown hair."
"Vivian…" I whisper.
"It's a guessing game." She giggles evilly. An ice cream cone appears in her hand. "She could be with my sister Ali," Max begins as she licks her ice cream cone. "She could be…. Dead, maybe." Max laughs.
"Yeah, it is." She looks down. "I can explain why I was on the Ravenswood page, but later." Aria looks in a distance. "We need to find Ali and Max."
I look at her neck and there's a Ravenswood necklace. Ali looks at me, and then at my necklace.
"You like?" She asks me, and then looks at Emily. "I knew you would like it, Em." She confidently says and smirks.
"Something is overshadowing her." I tell the others.
We all look at this woman, puzzled. I keep the pyramid raised and she loses her power. "Max, my… child…" She mumbles as Max stands over her.
"I just can't believe that woman who took over Ali told the ghost to kill five people. That's cruel." Remy sighs.
"And how Dylan killed my father." Olivia mumbles her eyes glossy. Luke wraps an arm around her, half hugging her.
"It's okay guys, we just need to find Max, and hopefully this will all be over." I tell them. They all nod and I smile.
"Let's do this."
PRESENT, JUNE 23RD, 2:52PM, HANNA POV
We search through the cemetery for Max, but no sign of her.
"Where else could she be?" I complain, looking through the bushes.
"It's okay, we have plenty of time." Miranda tells us. She checks her watch. "We have… 10 hours." I roll my eyes and I continue looking.
"Can we at least have an hour break?" Caleb asks. "I'm too tired to do nothing but search for this girl." He complains.
"Fine." Remy says to us. "But it can only be one hour." She reminds Caleb. We walk back in the house.
Miranda sits on the couch and Caleb sits at the dining room table awkwardly.
"Hey, I'm going to get Chinese food. Do you guys want some?" I ask both of them.
"Chicken and Broccoli!" They both yell. They look at each other and Miranda's cheeks are flushed.
"I'll be back in an hour." I say, raising an eyebrow. I walk out of the room silently.
MIRANDA POV
Caleb turns to me, but hesitates to look at me.
"Do you even know what you want?" I complain after a silence. He stays silent, and looks up to the ceiling. "You can't just date Hanna, and have feelings for me. That isn't how it works, Caleb." I continue complaining.
"Well I'm sorry if someone already started liking me, and made me all crazy." Caleb crosses his arms.
"I knew you loved Hanna. You don't need me!" I stand up and walk near the door.
"I love Hanna but I like you." Caleb mutters. "I'm in deep shit." He slouches in his chair.
"Nice. Wonderful." I complain sarcastically. "What the hell are we going to do?" I ask him. "It's not like it's one sided you know." He doesn't say anything, once again. "You can't just like both of us Caleb. You have feelings for one more than the other, stop being selfish." I yell.
"I'm being selfish?" He yells back, standing up. "You're the one who asked me to stay here, not for the company." I look at the floor, frowning. "What do you have to say to that?"
"That's right, I did." I admit in a small voice. "I'm sorry." Caleb frowns.
"Yeah well, me too." He looks outside the window. I sit back at the table and I rest my head on my hand. He walks over and joins me, sitting at the table next to me. I refuse to even look at him. I can't believe this. I totally screwed up a good friendship by talking about my feelings. Great going, Miranda.
I shake my head mentally and I look down at the table. Caleb looks at me, and I eventually look back at him, sighing. He leans over close to me, and before I know it, I'm leaning over too, his face just inches from mine. All of a sudden, we hear a sound of a door shutting and we bump our foreheads. "Ow!" We say in unison.
"What happened?" Hanna says, putting the food on the counter.
"Nothing, I had an eyelash in my eye and Caleb was just helping." I say, smiling.
"Okay…" I shrug it off. "I have plenty of food here, dig in!" I exclaim. We take the bag and I take out my food. Hanna looks at me and smiles; I force a smile on my face.
Kill. Me.
3:28PM, HANNA POV
Remy, Olivia, and Luke all come back to the house and I let them in.
"Ready to kick ass?" Olivia asks. We all look at her oddly. "Ready to take them down?" She corrects herself.
"Yeah, let's go." Caleb says. We all run out of the house, and Miranda brings the box. We walk through the cemetery.
"Wait, I have an idea." I whisper. I grab Miranda's hand, and Caleb's. "Grab on to each other's hands, I can go intangible." I remind the others. We all go invisible and we continue walking. I jump and we fly up.
"A-Are you sure this is safe…" Luke asks, looking down nervously.
"Yeah, it's fine." Olivia tells him. She looks at me with a chuckle. "He's afraid of heights." I nod my head and we continue flying.
"The church." Miranda whispers to me and I nod. We all fly to the church peacefully through Ravenswood, but thunder is heard throughout Ravenswood. We all flinch and I fly us to the ground.
"Guys let's run." I tell them, still holding their hands. We all run hand in hand into the church. We quickly fade through the door, not making any sounds. Suddenly, we see Max standing, her back facing us, looking at the cross. I continue walking with them, still invisible. I face her, and she's smiling at the cross. Suddenly, the cross flips upside-down. We wince, but suddenly we all turn visible. Max looks at us, her eyes flickering red. As Miranda pulls out the box, Max lifts the box up with her eyes, and brings it to her, holding it in her hands.
"Not this time, brat." I yell as I shoot lightning out of my hands, at the box. The box drops to the floor, and starts shaking. Max, me, and the others all back up, frightened. The pyramid lifts up from the box, not facing any of us. Suddenly, I get sucked into the pyramid. "HELP!" I scream before getting sucked in. Everyone gasps.
4:07PM, HANNA POV
I open my eyes and I'm floating in a place of emptiness, black.
"GUYS!" I yell. No one responds to me. "Hello?" I call out. Suddenly, I see a mirror from afar, I float over to it. At first I just see myself, floating and my white strapless dress flying in the slight breeze. Then, I'm seeing Miranda, Caleb, Remy, Luke, Olivia, and Max.
"Look what you did!" Miranda yells, angrily. Max stands there, smiling.
"MIRANDA!" I yell out. Miranda flinches and looks at the pyramid.
"Did that pyramid just talk?" She asks the others. I roll my eyes.
"It's me, Hanna!" I yell out.
"Hanna, we'll get you out; somehow." Caleb yells to me. Max looks at the rest and smirks.
"Catch me if you can." She giggles as she disappears in thin air.
"Bitch." I mutter under my breath as she disappears.
"Guys, we need to go to Mr. Collins, to help Hanna." Remy tells the others. Miranda picks up the pyramid, and they walk to Mr. Collins's house.
MIRANDA POV
I open the door, the pyramid still in my hands.
"Why, hello Miranda." Mrs. Grunwald calls out to us. I look at her with a smile.
"Hi, have you seen Mr. Collins?"
"No, I haven't. I think he went out. May I help you?" She says in a soothing voice.
"Crap." I mutter. "Um, I don't know but maybe since you know about supernatural things, you could help us?" I ask her.
"Depends on what you need help with." Mrs. Grunwald answers. We all smile in relief.
"You mean Hanna is in this pyramid?" She asks her eyes widened.
"Yeah, and we need to get her out." I reply.
"Hell yeah you do!" The pyramid calls out. I roll my eyes.
"Can you help us?" I say, slightly frustrated.
"I suppose." She pacifies.
"Yay, thank you!" I smile from ear to ear. Mrs. Grunwald closes her eyes and lifts her hands over the pyramid. We all watch as she moves her hands back and forth on the pyramid. The pyramid shakes and Hanna falls out of it, and she falls off the table.
"Ow…" She groans as she rubs her head.
"At least you're free!" I forces a smile.
"Yeah, yeah." Hanna mutters. "You lost Max." She rolls her eyes.
"I know, but we can find her again." I tell Hanna.
"I just can't believe she is Ali's sister. Possessed or not, they are related." Hanna sighs. "And this time, that bitch does have super powers."
Caleb chuckles, understanding the joke.
"Okay, well we have how many hours…" I look at my watch. "7 hours to find her and get you and anyone else in Ravenswood back."
"That isn't true." Grunwald tells us. We all look at her, puzzled. "Mr. Collins has those jars for a reason, to keep the Ravenswood tradition."
"Why can't we just set them free?" Hanna asks Grunwald.
"Ravenswood works in weird ways. If you release them, they could either be a mortal or a demon that haunts Ravenswood. There are more demons." She mutters.
"What about original Caleb and Miranda?" Caleb asks Grunwald.
"They are angels, but only Caleb is out there right now, and he is now mortal." Caleb's eyes widen.
"Hanna and you can come back, the minute Miranda turns mortal, and she could either pass on or come back." Grunwald reminds us.
"Pass on?" Remy asks her.
"Yes, she can decide what is truly right for her." Grunwald looks at me. I look down, unknowing of what I want to do. I never really thought about it clearly. It'd be great to come back, but I wouldn't know whether I would be mortal or not.
"Thank you, Mrs. Grunwald." I look down and smile.
"My pleasure, dear." Mrs. Grunwald smiles and looks at Hanna. "Tell Alison I said hello." She finishes before walking upstairs.
HANNA POV, 5:04PM
We all walk out of Mr. Collin's house, but suddenly we see a bus pull up, from Rosewood. A blonde haired girl comes out of the bus- Alison?
She comes off the bus and looks at the six of us. Ali comes up closer to us, her curly blonde hair blowing slightly in the wind. "I need to help you with her." She looks to the left quickly, paranoid of 'A' still. I look at her, frowning. "Look, you can't get to her without her sister to distract her." Ali half smiles and her nostrils flare.
We all start walking to the church again, but we let Alison go in there first. All six of us peek through the window, making sure no one sees us.
"Hi, Max." Alison says, extremely nervous.
"Hi Alison." Max smiles deviously.
"Max, you've been a naughty girl lately." She tells her, still shaky in her voice. Alison brushes a big strand of her curly blonde locks back. "You can't hurt those people, some are my friends." Alison adds.
"Look, Ali. It's not up to me." Max snaps. "I'm doing what my mommy always wanted to happen to Ravenswood. You were never ever there to hear what she had to say!" She yells at Ali. Alison flinches and backs away a little bit.
"Because she wasn't my mother, Max." Ali snaps back. "We are only step sisters."
"You had a choice, Ali." Max comes closer, her eyes flickering red. "It was either, be a normal girl and forget me and my mommy, or join us in the revenge on Ravenswood. That's why the woman overshadowed you here and there." She yells.
"YOU WHAT?" Alison yells at Max, and she flinches back. "You-you made me hurt people, Max." She stutters in disbelief. "You tricked me, you evil bitch." She curses at Max.
"What was I supposed to do Ali?" Max looks at her, scared. "We needed help."
"I told you I wasn't going to, I was going to be normal. But you ruined it, Max." Alison's fist s raises up, and then shoot down, making the room electrical. I and the others even flinch away of the window, because of the strong electrical force.
"Alison, please calm down." Max snaps, shooting lightning at a mirror, breaking it.
"I'm through with you, Max." Alison shakes her head in disbelief. "I thought demons could change after death. I'm pretty sure you don't remember when you had gotten killed by your worst nightmare?" She spits. Max's eye twitches a bit but she shrugs it off.
"You don't know what you're saying, you've gone rogue." Max smirks.
"Your nightmare killed you, and something brought you back, something evil." Alison complains, getting closer to Max.
"Stop talking." She mutters, shaking her head but Ali continues on.
"You told me you were normal, but I never knew you could be this evil." Ali cries.
"STOP IT NOW!" Max yells, putting a hand on her chest, her breathing unsteady.
"But instead of telling me the truth, you decided to be a sneaky, murderous, lying, little bitch." Alison says, word by word. All of a sudden, Max falls to the ground with a cry. I look at Max, and I see something leave her.
"A-Ali…" Max whispers. "Wh-what happened…" She looks at her, lying down. Ali sits beside her, a tear falling from her face.
"Ravenswood happened, Max." Ali whispers in a depressed tone. She moves Max's blonde curly hair to the front of her, and caresses her cheek. "I'm sorry it had to end this way." Ali whispers, and cries. Max's eyes slowly blink a couple of times, and finally close… The others and I watch from the window, in silence. In this moment, it was a sister moment. The pyramid wasn't needed to take this ghost away; it was the real heart hiding behind the demonic spirit inside of her. It was too much that Max couldn't physically or mentally take it. All I know is that it ended with silence and sorrow.
5:52PM, HANNA POV
Alison walks out of the church, without looking at us or saying anything. She hurries to the bus stop without a word.
"Wait, Ali." I call out to her.
"You're welcome Hanna, I'll see you soon" Ali says, and gets on the bus to Rosewood. I stand there, watching the bus leave.
We all run back to Mr. Collin's house, but before I open the door, we all hear a sound. We turn around and Mr. Collins comes out of the woods.
"Thank you." He says, smiling at us. I raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"For what?" I ask Mr. Collins.
"I feel light, for the first time in years." He tells us, still smiling. "You guys changed so much; you both are brave, grown girls. And don't mention Caleb, Remy and the siblings in the back." He chuckles, pointing at them. We all laugh and he smiles again. "Follow me inside." He whispers, and we all walk inside the house, grins never leaving our faces.
DON'T HATE ME! :D
