Hi! Enjoy the chapter! Don't forget to review :)

Chapter 14:

Everyone stared at Ezra with a mixture of confusion and fear.

"Ezra...?" Spencer prompted.

"Why didn't I think of this sooner! Caleb! The cameras!" Ezra looked at the teenager with wide eyes.

"What about them?" Caleb asked, looking slightly uncomfortable at being put on the spot.

"You said that you could probably figure out where A's headquarters are using the cameras right?" Ezra asked.

Realization dawned on Caleb. "OF COURSE! How did I know think of that! Come on!" Caleb ran to his car and everyone piled in, while Caleb pulled out his laptop and started typing furiously. After a few moments, he looked up in frustration. "No wi-fi. We need a place with Internet."

"I'll drive." Ezra switched seats with Caleb and started driving towards his apartment, while Caleb looked through A's USB, looking for anything to lead them to Aria.

Aria:

"Are you ever going to let me go?" Aria asked, as her captor came into the freezing cold room she was being held in. It might as well have been a freezer, Aria could even see her own breath. Her bare arms were numb with the cold.

"Do you really want an answer to that?" A responded.

Aria sighed. "I guess not...what are you going to do with me?" she asked, trying to keep the fear out of her voice.

"You ask a lot of questions" A replied.

"I think they're pretty valid questions considering I've been tied to a chair for God knows how long!" Aria replied, angrily. She felt a sharp sting on her cold cheek. A had just hit her!

"Shut up, you little bitch. And chill with the attitude if you want to get out here alive." A said, furiously and stormed out of the room. Aria started to cry in pain and in fear.

Ezra:

"Anything yet?" Ezra asked, impatiently. He had dropped Caleb off and was driving in his car, hoping to find anything that could lead him to Aria.

"Not yet, but I'm about to make a break-through, I can feel it. Just keep driving for a bit, I can figure this out" Caleb had found photos of A's lair in the USB and was trying to figure out where they could be from. He, Hanna and Emily were on their laptops looking through apartment around Rosewood, trying to find a building that had any similar interior, but had come up empty so far. Ezra and Spencer had been driving around Rosewood for hours, only stopping to get coffee in order to stay awake.

Ezra continued to drive around, when he got a text. Unknown number. He quickly pulled over and opened it.

"Maybe this will teach you and your friends not to mess with me. Let's hope Aria can stand the cold, at least she doesn't have hypothermia...yet." -A

"Oh no!" Ezra said, putting his head in his hands and just sitting there for a moment, letting this all sink in. After a moment, his head shot up, eyes wide, realizing what A had just told him. He dialed Caleb's number.

"Look for apartment with places that have their own separate air conditioning in each room." Most apartment usually had one air conditioner for the entire apartment, but A would've bought one with different temperatures in each room. A wouldn't dare leave Aria all by herself in an apartment in case she escaped or someone came for her.

"I'm on it." Caleb said. A moment later, he spoke again. " Okay, I've got three locations. You take one, I'll tell one to Spencer and I'll go to the third." He listed the addresses and told Ezra where to go. "If you find Aria or anything to lead us to her, call me right away. Don't go in A's lair by yourself. Got it?"

"Fine." Ezra hung up and headed to the apartment, where hopefully he would find his love.

Aria:

Aria had been crying all throughout the day, begging for a sweater or a blanket, anything to keep her warm. A never responded, unless to come inside and tell her to shut up, or to hit her. She could already feel bruises on her stomach and her legs from the punches and kicks she'd received for begging and crying.

"Okay, this is the last time I'm going to tell you to shut up. If you don't just keep in mind that I know where your dear boyfriend lives." A said, cruelly. Aria immediately bit her lip, trying to silence herself. She couldn't let this monster get anywhere near Ezra. She had to keep him safe, even if it meant dying.

Ezra:

I had just arrived at some place called the Lost Woods Resort, which was basically an old motel in the middle of nowhere. I ran inside, where a creepy-looking guy whose name tag said Harold was standing behind a desk.

"Are you here to book a room?" he asked, hopefully.

"Actually, I was wondering if any of your rooms were already booked right now?" Ezra inquired, trying to remain calm and not yell to the man to give him Aria.

"I'm sorry sir but that is classified information. Now, would you like a room?" the man responded pleasantly.

"Look, this is really important. I NEED to know if anyone else is here." Ezra said, starting to lose his patience.

"Sir, when people come to the Lost Woods Resort, they don't want to be find. So if you're here to book a room that's fine, if not, I'm going to have to politely ask you to leave." Harold said, and Ezra wanted nothing more than to wipe the smile off his face.

Something over the man's shoulder, caught Ezra's eye. It was a rack with different room keys. The keys to room #1 were missing. "Fine, is room #2 available?" Ezra inquired.

"Yes, it is. Please sign your name here." Harold gave Ezra a book and pointed to an empty slot. While Ezra wrote down the name William Hemming, Harold retrieved his room key.

"Have a pleasant day and let me know if you need anything." Harold said, politely.

Ezra walked to his room, passing by room #1. The blinds were shut so Ezra couldn't see inside. He went to his room and his phone rang as soon as he entered.

"Hello?" Ezra answered.

"It's Caleb. Aria's not at our hotel, nor is she at Spencer. Are you at the Lost Woods yet?" Caleb asked.

"I just got here. I'm in room #2 and there's only one other room that's in use right now. I can't see inside, but I'm going to check it out." Ezra responded, hoping that Aria was in there, and that she was okay.

"We're on our way over, we'll see you in about twenty minutes. Stay in your room." Caleb said.

"Okay. I'll be here." Ezra answered, wanting more than anything to check out room #1, but knowing Caleb was right.

Suddenly, Ezra heard a sound coming from outside. He opened his door and heard a girl screaming in pain. He was sure it was Aria.

Aria:

Aria was screaming. A had just kicked her in the stomach. She thought she might die right then. She knew it wouldn't be long, she was already so cold, she'd lost all feeling from her waist down.

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" A growled.

Aria tried to hold back her sobs, but she was in too much pain. "Please! Please, just let me go! I promise, I won't try to come after you, or tell my friends anything. Just please, let me go!" she begged.

A punched her in the mouth. She could taste blood on her lip. "Speak again, and I'll hit you even harder." A said in a quiet voice that scared Aria more than anything. She bit back her screams and tried to stop crying. In a few moments, she was silent.

Ezra:

Ezra couldn't keep his promise to stay. He sent a quick text to Caleb, telling him that he heard Aria and was going to investigate room #1 and left. He ran to the room and tried the know. Locked. Frustrated, Ezra kicked the door several times, until it broke open. He ran inside and stopped dead at the sight before him.

Uh-oh. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. The next one will hopefully be up in a few days. Leave your reviews. :)
