Previously on Dead But Alive…
"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."
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.
"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." Grunwald mutters.
"Hanna and you can come back, the minute Miranda turns mortal, and she could either pass on or come back." Grunwald reminds us.
"Hi, Max." Alison says, extremely nervous.
"Hi Alison." Max smiles deviously.
"Max, you've been a naughty girl lately."
"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…"
"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.
PRESENT, JUNE 23RD, 6:09PM, HANNA POV
Mr. Collins leads us inside the jar room [aka his 'other office] and we all look around. He goes through the drawers to find my name. His eyebrows furrow in confusion and he looks through the H section.
"H.M…" He mumbles. "Where is it?" Suddenly, we all hear a screech of a crow and we all look at the window, seeing the black crow holding up the jar.
"Stop that bird!" Olivia shouts as we run out of the room. We leave the house and look up to see the crow still holding the jar over the river near the bridge.
"NO!" Miranda and I shout in unison. The crow drops it in and we scream. I run over to the bridge and jump over it. Suddenly, I feel a cold rush of water surrounding me, but I can't see anything. I slowly open my eyes and everything is blurry. I see a jar at the bottom of the river and I swim down farther down but it keeps looking farther the more down I go. Out of nowhere, I feel my heart beat and I hold my breath in shock. I ignore it and I keep going down, holding my breath.
As I'm about to get it, I'm out of breath, I slowly turn my head and look up from the river. I see a bright shining moon wobbling from the water. Looking down again, I close my eyes slowly and I see blackness and silence.
6:42PM, HANNA POV
I am suddenly awakened by being carried by another person, but I can't talk, and I can't open my eyes. I am set down onto a floor-grass. I slowly struggle to open my eyes, and I see Miranda, her hair soaking wet and she is panting heavily.
"Miranda?" I mutter as I cough up water. Miranda tells the others I'm alright and I look at Caleb, and smile. He smiles back, a sparkle in his eyes. [A/N: Are you happy yet Maleb shippers?:P]
I sit up, still panting. How long was I even in the river?
"Did I get the jar?" I ask Miranda through breaths. She slowly nods her head no, and looks down.
"How am I going to get back?" I tell her, my eyes watering.
"We'll find away, Hanna."
I turn to see Mr. Collins, frowning slightly and looking down. I squeeze some water out of my wet blonde hair. I nod and I cough some water out. I turn back to Miranda, her eyes in concern. "Thank you Miranda, for saving my life." I say in a small voice. She smiles and hugs me. I hug her back, my eyes glossy.
We all go back to Caleb's house and I rest my head on my hand, sitting at the table. Miranda is sitting on the couch, looking out the window and Caleb is on his computer.
"We can't just sit around; we have 5 hours and twenty something minutes!" I complain.
"What else can we do Hanna?" Miranda asks me. "Look, all the ghosts are gone, that's good. But now we have to compete against a crow?"
"It's the last demon, or bad spirit, so maybe." I tell her. "It must have been working with Max."
"C'mon, that is ridiculous." She replies. "What I do know is that river is seriously never ending." She looks at me, serious.
"I think we should relive the scene of the crime." Caleb mutters.
"What?" We yell in unison.
"I died from that, okay?" Miranda exasperates. "And I could definitely die again, but I don't really have much choice anyway."
"If we do, I think you'll be able to crab that bottle." He tells me. I look down to think. I didn't live this scene, and if I do, I think I'd be putting them in danger, especially Remy, Olivia, and Luke.
"What about the others?" I ask Caleb.
"They need to be here." He looks out the window. "I didn't feel what felt. Yeah, his worst nightmares are over, but not mine. There is one more thing that isn't welcome here. I think Abigail has something to do with it."
So, we walk through the cemetery, trying to find Abigail and the others. "Abigail?" I call out, waiting for a response. No answer anywhere.
"What are we supposed to do?" Miranda asks.
"Here, give me the box." I ask her. She hands it over and I look down at it.
"Okay, do your magic."
I open up the box and I face the pyramid toward anything. Nothing at first, but suddenly, tons of black magic comes toward the pyramid. We start to walk in the direction the magic is coming from.
"Abigail?" Caleb calls out.
"P-please don't hurt me." She calls out, weak and scared. "I don't have so much longer to live, you-"She coughs. "You took my power away." Abigail turns into a normal girl. Her eyes go from bright brown eyes to a regular dark. Her blonde hair fades a bit but has her regular curls. Abigail falls to the ground and looks at us. "I was only trying to protect him…" She whispers.
"Who?" I ask her. "Who are you hiding?"
"The Raven Keeper." She whispers. "They weren't crows you were seeing, they were Ravens, and he sent them."
"Where can we find him?" Miranda asks her.
"I think he's still in the woods-but you need to be careful." Abigail coughs again. "Before it's too late, he takes magic out of people like a dropper."
"What?" I ask her, confused.
"A thing you use to suck up water in science class." Miranda whispers. Abigail falls to the ground, coughing.
"Thank you." She whispers, lying on the ground. "For setting me free." Abigail smiles, and slowly closes her eyes, her spirit leaving. We all run into the woods, -avoiding the really gross spiders- and I trip over something and fall.
"What the hell was that?" I exasperate, holding my knee close to me. Caleb looks at what I tripped over, and he kneels down to touch it. Suddenly, he presses a button and the ground vibrates. "Earthquake?" I question over the noise.
Out of nowhere, a cabin appears out of the ground, and ravens fly all over the woods. Remy, Luke, Olivia, Caleb, Miranda and I all run into the cabin, avoiding all the ravens. Caleb and I look up a man, smirking.
7:45PM, HANNA POV
"Wait a minute." Remy speaks up. "You were the person from my nightmare…"
"You've figured it out, good job." He smirks deviously. "You really thinking taking away all the ghost powers would make me powerless? That pyramid won't work on me."
I grab the pyramid and face it toward him. The pyramid bolt shoots out, but it goes right through him. He laughs and looks at all of us.
"I'm too lazy to fight you guys. Son, you can come out."
A boy comes out with a depressed look on his face. His face is pale and he has black hair, and a lip ring.
"Father, why must you hurt innocent people like this?" The boy asks his father.
"Shut up Sky, and do what you are told, you ungrateful ghost." His father spats. Sky sighs, and looks at us.
"Then I'll do it outside. I'll be back." He walks over to us and grabs Miranda and I. We both start screaming and the others run to help us.
"Look, I'm not going to hurt you." Sky says the minute we get outside. "I've done enough of that already to others, and Abigail." He says in a small voice. Miranda looks at him, studying his face. Sky looks at her, sighing.
"You guys need to leave." He looks at all of us. "Now."
"I'm sorry but we need to get rid of your father, he's a real ass you know." Caleb tells him.
"And the one who made that stupid pact." Sky mutters. He looks down and thinks about it. "Do what you need to." Sky steps out of the way, and stands next to Miranda. Caleb looks at all of us, and then to me.
"Luke and Olivia guard the door; Hanna and Remy need to come with me." He informs all of us before running in and me following.
The Raven Keeper stands up, seeing the three of us. "I thought my son got rid of you." He snaps.
"He sent us here to get rid of you, asshole." I hold out my hands, ready to aim lightning at him. The Keeper laughs.
"What are you gonna do with your puny hands, child?" The man says through laughs. Lightning shoots out of my hands, and hits him in the chest. He flinches in pain, but forces a smile. "Fool, I'm invincible."
Caleb and I look at him, scared now. How the hell are we going to defeat him? We look at him, and we see a necklace hanging on his neck. The Ravenswood Necklace!
"Wait a second." I pause. "If you have the necklace, then you are-"
"Max's father, looks like someone is putting all the pieces together." He smirks. The Keeper raises his hands up, and Caleb gets thrown against the wall. I look back at Caleb in fear and at The Keeper in anger. My eyes flicker red and a run over to him, tackling him.
"You ass." I snap as I punch him in the face, him struggling to get up. I raise my hand and I throw lightning at his hand; it pins against the floor, the electrical energy surrounding his fist. I do the same to the other. "Hurting my friends." I slap him in the face again, harder. "Killing the mayor, hiring your daughter and son to kill people!" I yell as I slap him once more.
"Uh, can you get on with it?" Caleb yells from afar, sitting against the wall, hurt. I nod and I rip off his necklace, throwing it across the room. The mayor flinches, breaks free of the electrical sources that were holding him back, and he growls, turning into a gigantic raven.
"DIE!" It screams as it picks me up.
"HELP!" I scream, trying to wiggle out of his grasp.
8:26PM, HANNA POV
"HELP!" I scream, trying to wiggle out of his grasp. Suddenly, someone breaks the door down. It's Miranda and sky, hand in hand; ready to aim destruction at the monster. "MIRANDA!" I scream, my blonde curly hair waving everywhere, my black eyeliner smudged. (A/N: Déjà vu.)
BACK IN ROSEWOOD, WITH THE GIRLS, 8:30PM, SPENCERS POV
As Aria, Emily, and I sit on my bed talking about something random, I get a call on my phone. "Hello?"
"Yes, the patient you know, Hanna Marin?" The nurse speaks. "The doctors are doing everything they can, but she's having some sort of nightmare; she might not be able to make it. Can you come here?" I drop the phone and my eyes widen.
"WE NEED TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL, NOW." We all run out of the room, and I grab my cellphone.
We run into the hospital, bumping into detectives, and nurses, all the way to Hanna's room. All the doctors are trying to shock her awake, but she won't wake up. Mrs. Marin is panicking, on the phone with her husband, Alison is shaking in chair. We all look in the room window, panicking and yelling, Alison joining us.
BACK IN ROSEWOOD, WITH THE KEEPER, AND THE OTHERS, 8:45PM, HANNA POV
Miranda and Sky start throwing lightning and anything that can come out of their hands.
"Wait." Sky stops throwing things and Miranda stops. He rubs his hands together, and forms an electric blue ball made of electricity in between his hands. Miranda looks at it, her jaw dropping. The Keeper-Raven looks at him, smirking.
"Silly child, you know that never works without years of practice." He laughs, shaking me.
"I guess you need to watch your child more often then." Sky shouts before throwing the ball at The Keeper. He growls and screams in pain, dropping me. I start to fall, farther and farther down. I look at The Keeper and he's shrinking. I'm falling… falling… falling.
I open my eyes and I'm lying down in a blank room full of mirrors. I look in the mirror and my hair is crazy curly, my eyeliner is everywhere; I have scrapes and dirt on my face from what the Raven Keeper did to me. "Where am I?" I call out to someone, hoping for an answer.
"Hanna?" A voice calls out, fading into the room. Ali?
"Alison, what are you doing here?" I ask Ali.
"To visit you, you aren't exactly peaceful in the hospital." Alison reminds me. I look at her, confused.
"I thought you were just being overshadowed-you really are a ghost…" I look down at the floor.
"That woman really did kill me, Han." She says in a shaky voice. "I can't let the same happen to you, not like this." She turns so her back is to me. "By killing that man, will set free everyone. Killing him will send the demons to hell with him."
"Which is why I'm helping you beat him." Ali turns back to me. "You could've died when he dropped you, that was going to be a long fall." She looks up at the ceiling, to her reflection. "I don't really think I deserve to be fully human. I've made plenty of mistakes, but I don't think I deserve it. I also want to keep it to protect anything else from happening." Alison looks down for a few moments but looks up at me. "Make things right, Hanna." Alison looks at me with a smile. "Good luck."
9:30PM, HANNA POV
I reopen my eyes and I'm on the floor. Caleb is leaning over me and Miranda is also lying down, with Sky hovering over her. Remy, Luke, and Olivia are all watching and gasp. Caleb grins widely and hugs me. "Oh thank god you're alive." Caleb mutters into my neck. He pulls away, still holding me, kissing me deeply. "I love you, so much." I smile at him and I get up and run over to Miranda. Sky is looking at her, a tear falling from his pale face. Remy, Olivia, and Luke's eyes start to tear up. Luke wraps an arm around Remy and pulls her closer. Remy wraps a friendly arm around Olivia too.
"Please wake up." He whispers to her. Sky raises his hand, and puts it on her forehead. He caresses her hair with his other hand. Caleb wraps an arm around me; my eyes start to tear up. Sky leans down, and places a soft kiss on Miranda's cold pale lips. Miranda starts breathing slowly, and she flutters her eyes open.
"Sky!" She cries, hugging him tightly.
"Miranda!" Me, Caleb and Sky scream, all hugging her.
"I thought we lost you." I cry, hugging her tightly. Miranda hugs me back, smiling.
9:55PM, SPENCERS POV
"She has two hours and five minutes to come back." I tell the girls. They all nod and I look down in sorrow and silence. Aria looks at us, half smiling.
"I have something I need to tell you guys." Aria confesses. "About Hanna and I." As she's about to tell us, Toby barges in the hospital door to see me. I gasp and run over and hug him tightly, sobbing.
"It's always easier when you're here." I whisper, nuzzling up against his neck.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I hadn't called, I was in Bucks County." Toby tells me, holding me tighter.
"I'm okay now, I guess. Hanna isn't doing too well." I pull away to tell him. Suddenly, we hear the sound of a mop falling, and we all turn to the noise. We see a black hoodie for a second, and it leaves. I look back at Toby, who tightens his grip around me.
10:09PM, BACK IN RAVENSWOOD, HANNA'S POV
We all walk along the side of the bridge slowly. No one really has talked since Miranda's coming back, we don't exactly know what to do now. That jar could be anywhere by now. We have two hours now, and all the bad spirits are gone. I look up at the sky and the flickering fireflies. We head toward the house, so I could at least shower. Suddenly, we hear a snap of a tree branch. Abigail suddenly comes out from behind the tree. Sky and all of us look over at the noise, and we spot her.
"Abigail? I thought you passed on!" Olivia exclaims. Abigail half smiles, and looks at all of us.
"I had a choice to go forward or come back. I can finally finish school." Abigail says, wiping a happy tear away from her face. "Thank you, you're bringing people back, Hanna."
I smile, and look down. "You're welcome, Abigail." I reply, holding Caleb's hand. Sky wraps his arm around Miranda and she blushes. Abigail smiles walks into the woods, putting her hands in her pockets.
10:26PM, MIRANDA POV
We return to the house, and Hanna goes to the bathroom to shower, Remy, Olivia, and Luke say goodbye and they all go home. Sky quickly pops out to find his cellphone back at the cabin. So it's only Caleb and I in the room.
"So…" Caleb says awkwardly.
"So?" I ask, looking down. I wait for his response, putting my hands in my pockets.
"I think I chose who I really do love." Caleb tells me. "I deserved to be screamed at by you, it made me realize what was happening." He looks down.
"I have someone that I think I like a lot." I remind him, smiling. "Sky is more my type." I laugh.
"Cool, so what does it make us, finally?" Caleb asks me.
"Friends." I answer, smiling. He walks over and hugs me. I hug him back, looking at the window. He pulls away and looks at me, sucking in a breath. I look down, biting my lip, and I walk away from him. Caleb chuckles and I turn around. "You tease!" I whine. I nudge him in the stomach and he laughs. Hanna comes out of the bathroom in just a towel. "Comfortable much?" I ask her, chuckling.
"It's been a while, why not?" Hanna jokes, taking an apple out of the fridge and going back to the guest room.
10:36PM, HANNA POV
I pop on another white silky dress, and I poof my hair curly and dry. I put on black smoky eyeliner and my ordinary pink lipstick. As I adjust my lipstick, I hear a knock on the front door. I put the lipstick down, and I walk out of the room to see Mr. Collins in the house. "Oh, hi." I greet, smiling.
"Hello, Hanna." He greets me. Caleb looks at Mr. Collins.
"What's up?" Caleb asks, looking at him.
"I just wanted to see how you guys are doing with bringing Hanna back." Mr. Collins says, remaining standing.
"We got rid of the bad spirits, including the Raven Keeper, but we can't find her jar." Caleb looks at me and I sigh.
"Hmm, odd." Mr. Collins replies, scratching his chin. Miranda looks down, and sighs. He looks at Miranda and smiles slightly. "Oh, Miranda." He speaks up. "There are two people here to see you." Miranda looks up, raising an eyebrow up. Mr. Collins opens the door, and standing there, finally, after all her time of complications and sorrow, are her two alive, breathing mother and father. Miranda looks at the two people, and stands up slowly.
"M-mom?" Miranda asks, her eyes tearing up quickly. I smile widely and I wrap an arm around Caleb's waist as he does mine. "Dad!" She yells happily and they both hug her. Miranda cries happily in their arms. They both kiss the top of her head and she laughs. I half smile, but sigh of missing my mother.
10:49PM, ARIA POV
"One hour and eleven minutes-" Spencer tells us.
"Would you stop reminding us? Okay, Hanna can do this." I interrupt her, looking down. I walk into Hanna's room. "Come on Han, you can do this." I whisper to her. She doesn't say anything. Her face is warm and her cheeks are a painted rosy red color. Her eyes are closed, and she almost looks-comfortable. Her lips are a dark pink since day one of being in this place. Hanna doesn't have any makeup on except for lipstick. Her curly blonde hair is sprawled out on the pillow she's sleeping on. They already found the bullet in her luckily. Emily and Spencer walk in the room silently and we all look at her, she looks peaceful.
10:58PM, HANNA POV
"I'll be right back, I need some air." I remind Hanna, Caleb, and Mr. Collins. I walk out of the house, and I run, my curly hair bouncing up and down in the wind. I approach the bridge, and look down into the water. I take one last look at the house before jumping into the river.
I swim down into the water, trying to find my jar. I try my best to keep my eyes open, but it's too blurry and salty for my eyes. I pause for a moment. Why the hell am I doing this? Am I really this selfish? I should be finding Miranda's jar so she could stay human. I come up from the water, coughing and soaking wet. I run to Mr. Collins house, popping into the jar room. I search for Miranda's jar again. Where the hell could it be?
Oh no.
Oh shit.
The river.
I pop out of the house and I run and I jump into the river again, trying to find Miranda's jar instead of my own.
11:10PM, MIRANDA POV
Where is Hanna? She said she needed air but this was way too long.
"Are you okay, honey?" My mom asks me, smiling.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to find someone, I'll be right back." I touch my mother and father's shoulders. They're ghosts too?
I run out of the house and I look for Hanna. "Hanna, are you here?" I call out. No response. I walk over the cemetery and no sign of her anywhere.
Where could she be? She isn't at Mr. Collins house, not in the cemetery, definitely not in Rosewood, but wh-
Don't even make me say it.
The river.
11:16PM, HANNA POV
I'm so deep into the water I literally can't tell where up is. I just keep trying to find it. Wait am I forgetting something?
Oh yeah, I am. How to breathe maybe? Oh no… I rush to swim to the top, but I can't see where the top is. Suddenly, I run out of breath and I stay in one place, closing my eyes.
11:20PM, MIRANDA POV
I jump into the river, and I swim down, down, and down into the water. Suddenly, I'm approaching, something, is that- Hanna? Hanna!
I reach her hand and I grab it, and I struggle to swim up. I fight really hard to swim up, holding Hanna's hand, and I eventually make it up to the top. I help Hanna out of the water, and I climb out of the water myself.
"What –cough- were you –cough- doing in –cough- there?" I ask between coughs.
"Getting your jar." Hanna mumbles and closes her eyes.
I'm totally out of breath; I think I'm going to fai-….
I hear voices, lots of voices.
They sound like my parents, Mr. Collins and Caleb…
Should I open my eyes?
When did I pass out?
I flutter my eyes open, and cough a lot of water out. Sky is kneeling over me and hugs me tightly. "Don't scare me like that." He nuzzles his hair into my neck. My whole body is cold, shaking and weak. I look over Sky's shoulder and I see Hanna, still lying down and her eyes remaining closed. I pull away from Sky and I crawl over to Hanna quickly. I look at Caleb, who is slightly crying and my parents run to hug me. I hug them back, too weak to talk. They pull away and I go over to Hanna.
"This can't be it Hanna, you need to wake up." I whisper, my eyes glossing up in tears again.
11:32PM, HANNA POV
Where am I?
I thought I found the jar...
No, you didn't.
Who's there?
I open my eyes and I'm in a reflection room again. My hair is still dripping from being in the water and my makeup is smudged again. Way to go, Hanna.
"Alison?" I call out. "Anyone?"
"Just me, for now." Mr. Collins says, walking in through a locked door.
"Okay is everyone in Ravenswood literally a ghost?" I ask him, a bit annoyed.
"Not necessarily, only the people you know except for Caleb." Mr. Collins tells me, standing politely.
"Time to come back Hanna, your journey isn't over yet." He adds, holding my jar and Miranda's jar. Before I can say anything, I close my eyes. I reopen them and I'm on the floor. Caleb looks at me smiling.
"Hi." Caleb says, sheepishly kneeling over me. I half smile back and I chuckle.
"Hey." I say, sitting up. I cough up some water onto the ground. "What happened?"
"You tell me, we all want to know." Caleb replies, waiting for me to explain.
"I was trying to get Miranda's jar from the water, to bring her back first." I reveal, looking down. Miranda looks at me, smiling.
"Wow, thank you Hanna." Miranda says hugging me. She pulls away and looks at Mr. Collins.
Mr. Collins looks at the floor silently. "It's time for a little decision making."
WITH THE GIRLS IN ROSEWOOD HOSPITAL, 11:49PM, EMILY'S POV
We start to see Hanna moving, and we all move over to her, worried.
"What is she doing?" Aria asks, looking at her.
"I have no clue." Spencer says as she goes near the door. "Help, we need a doctor!" She screams. Tons of doctors start piling the room and all three of us manage to run out.
"She's having a panic attack, we need shock treatment." The doctor tells the nurse. The nurse runs to get the equipment.
"She has 11 minutes!" Aria whispers to Spencer. I slump back in my chair in total worry. What the hell is Hanna doing? Detective Wilden walks in and looks at us, smirking.
"I need to ask you three a question about Hanna."
Oh. My. God.
11:52PM, HANNA POV
Mr. Collins gives us our jars and we both look inside of it.
"You both need to go into different rooms. Hanna, pop up two small rooms." Mr. Collins directs me. I pop the rooms up and we both go into make our decisions. When we are both done, I walk out and I look from afar. Oh my god.
The guard dog from the junk yard.
I forgot him.
The dog barks loudly and starts to run to us. "RUN GUYS!" I yell and we all run away from the dog.
"It's a demon!" Mr. Collins yells as we continue running. "It could kill us in seconds." I stop running and the dog attempts to bite my leg. I can't hurt a dog, I couldn't possibly. What am I supposed to do?
I quickly raise my hands and the dog stops moving. Everyone looks at me. I smile sheepishly at them and look at what I'm doing. Suddenly, green electricity spins around the dog and it returns to trying to hurt me "KEEP RUNNING!"
11:56PM BACK AT THE HOSPITAL, SPENCER POV
"4 minutes!" I exclaim at Aria and Emily.
"WE KNOW!" They yell back in unison. I rub my temples, extremely stressed out. Hanna is still lying uncomfortable in the hospital room. "Guys, we need to get to Ravenswood, and quick." I tell them.
"I need to check the next bus time." Aria says, checking her phone. Emily and I wait for her to talk. "Next bus leaves in… 2 minutes guys, come on!" Aria yells. We all run out of the hospital and run to the bus stop, exactly where the bus is now.
We all run onto the bus, throwing a twenty dollar bill to the bus driver. He nods, and closes the bus door, and we head off to Ravenswood. Alison walks out of the hospital, watching the bus go. "Crap." She mutters as she snaps her fingers and disappears.
11:59PM IN RAVENSWOOD, HANNA'S POV
"We have one minute, guys what are we going to do?" Miranda shouts as we keep running. Suddenly, Alison appears.
"Bad dog." Ali shouts and the dog stops running to us. "Dog house." Alison smirks and a portal opens up. The dog walks straight into it, and the portal disappears.
"Thanks Ali." I tell her, smiling. "You saved our lives." Suddenly, the alarm on my watch rings. "Oh no." I mutter. "It's twelve o' clock."
"It can't be… No!" Miranda yells as she looks at her watch. "It's too late."
I look down, about to cry. I'm never coming back. No more friends, family, no more anything. Aria, Emily, and Spencer get off the bus and run over to us.
"I-Is she back?" Aria asks Mr. Collins.
"I'm afraid not." Mr. Collins says. They look down in sadness. I turn invisible unexpectedly, and everyone looks sad still, not able to see me. Suddenly, something lifts me up, and electricity spins all around me. I'm hidden behind a shadow. I see them all look up at me. My ghost part leaves my body, and I'm starting to feel human. My hair starts waving around and turns dry, and my makeup returns to normal. The only thing that's still there are my scratches and dirt on my body and face. My white dress that has dirt stains on it turns into a dark grey coat and jeans, the clothes I was wearing before I died. The electricity goes away, and I am brought back down. I'm visible now; everyone is staring at me in amazement. They all have ear to ear smiles. I laugh slightly and all of them –except Mr. Collins- run over to hug me tightly.
They all say things like 'you're back!' and 'I can't believe it!' and I keep smiling, really proud that we all managed to lift the curse off of Ravenswood.
12:43PM, HANNA POV
After those whole congratulations, Miranda and I finally had a chance to talk.
"I'm so excited for you to come to Rosewood; seriously it's going to be awesome. You get to meet all my friends, and you can even stay with me!" I exclaim, really happy.
"Hanna, i-"
"OH and you get to attend Rosewood school with me, too!" I cheer excitedly. "And you could meet all the coolest people there, come on, let's go now!" I grab her arm and I excitedly walk to the gate, still holding her hand, I open the gate, but something holds Miranda back. "Miranda?"
"Hanna, I can't go with you." Miranda tells me. I look at her, confused.
"What do you mean? Didn't you wish to come back too?" I ask her, letting go of her hand. She nods her head and my jaw drops. "Why?" I ask.
"I realized that I'm not going to be alone." Miranda tells me. "My parents are here, and I'm really happy." Miranda says in a small voice. "I can finally be at peace here. You could always come visit me and my family."
"But I want you to come with me." I tell her, my eyes tearing up.
"I'll always be your friend, and I'll be happy now." She smiles, nodding. "It's okay now." I look down and she hugs me. I hug her back, crying a bit. A few minutes later, she pulls away.
"Don't forget me." I tell her, wiping a tear away and smiling.
"I won't." Miranda says with a smile. "Goodbye." She says glossy eyed.
"Bye." I finish as I close the gate. I look at her once more and I walk on the bus with Aria, Alison, Spencer, Caleb, and Emily. Caleb waves to Miranda and she chuckles, walking back to her house.
NO POV
As they leave onto the bus, a raven is flying around in the sky. The camera zooms in on the Raven and its eyes flicker red. The Raven flies toward the house and the Ravenswood theme song goes on at the end.
THIS IS NOT THE ENDING! :D
There shall be an Epilogue! DO. NOT. WORRY!
