SPENCER'S P. O. V
Since I was grounded for leaving public Rosewood, I couldn't get out the house for
2 weeks. Unless I go with my parents or to solve the Wren mystery, then I can go.
Today I decided that I would go and talk to Wren, even though it might be very
hard to get the truth out of his system. I put a hair donut through my ponytail
and made the bun that looks like a rat attacked my head, but I still liked it. I put
some clear top coat over my nails and put on a black blazer over top my button
up fleece shirt and black khakis. Even though it was extremely hot outside, a
black blazer would make my outfit look better. I put my bow flats on and made
my way downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked my mother, who sat at the kitchen.
"Going to talk to Wren about Melissa." I answered with a smirk.
Melissa was in Philadelphia with Ian and my nephew, Joseph. Joseph is probably
the cutest baby I have ever seen, just because of Wren's good looking genes.
"If you're lying to me, I will find out you know that?" asked my mother.
"Of course I do. I won't betray you like that." I told my mother with a smile.
"Hmph. Fine then, go on. I just expect accuracy coming from you Spencer. You
are a Hastings. Ancestors of the Hastings' are always right." my mother explained.
"But mom, you are a Hastings by marriage." I told her with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh I know, I was talking about your father." she replied.
I nodded slowly and wandered out the front door, mumbling a speech.
Wren told me to meet him at his house, and I intend to do so since I am really
wondering about how he got Melissa pregnant. Although it seems like he raped
her, I doubt he did.
-15 minutes later-
I scurried up the gorgeous white apartment on Main Street. It looked like a
precious pearl locked in a purple oyster for a long time, hoping to get out.
That's what I always felt when I saw this apartment, just because Wren resides
here. Just then I noticed the beige door, leading to Wren's apartment suite. It
had the number 348 engraved into it, the number that will probably haunt me
for a while.
"Spencer," Wren said with his strong accent as he opened the door.
"Come in."
I walked into his cologne-scented apartment room, it was air conditioned and
organized. Since he is a doctor, it had a bunch of scattered papers everywhere.
"I need to know something," I began.
"What did you do to Melissa?"
"Alas, I thought you were going to ask me that." replied Wren as he sat down.
"I didn't do much."
"Oh really? Is that why she doesn't remember you having sex?" I barked out.
"Of course she doesn't. I didn't have permission!" cried Wren.
"What the hell do you mean?" I asked with a scream.
"I was blackmailed alright?" he yelled out with his accent.
"By who and why?" I asked quietly; sitting down across from him.
"By this person named um-" said Wren, trying to search his memory.
"A."
My eyes widened like a dog begging for food. A blackmailed Wren into raping
Melissa, to cause her torture.
"What made you rape her?" I asked him.
"That gruesome person threatened me. Telling me if I don't get her pregnant,
they would tell everyone about us." said Wren.
"How did you do it without her remembering?" I mumbled quietly.
"I put her to sleep. Since I'm a doctor, it's easy to get those meds. And so I gave
her a shot and raped her. It was rough to be completely honest." replied Wren.
"What am I supposed to tell my parents?" I cried out in panic.
"Tell them the truth." said Wren.
"And get you thrown into jail?" I screamed loudly.
"I deserve it, I was really stupid. Everyone found out about us anyways. It was
really stupid of me." said Wren.
"I cannot believe this. Wren, you have got to run away!" I told him.
"Run away? I'm sorry, I'm not Aria Montgomery in this case." said Wren.
"You have to. Go to Philadelphia, visit your mum!" I shouted.
"Fine, I will go. But you can't tell anyone. It will be worse that way." said Wren.
"Now go, I will pack. I will text you when I will be out of Rosewood."
-30 minutes later-
"Wren raped Melissa?" cried out my mother in surprise.
"That's what he told me." I said as I bit my bottom lip.
"Oh my goodness, Peter! Send the police to his apartment!" shouted my mother.
I pulled out my cell and dialed Emily's number, half hoping this was all a dream.
Well, a nightmare.
"Hello?" asked Emily through the phone.
"I need to talk to you. I will be at your place in 10." I barked out, hanging up.
I stormed out of my front door, sat into my dad's car and started driving to
Emily's house. As I parked at the Fields' driveway, something shiny caught my eye,
it looked like a ring. I got out of the car, and walked up to it. It was so tiny that it
was barely noticeable. I picked it up slowly, just in case it was something
dangerous. It was pure gold and had the letter 'C' engraved into it. I put it into my
blazer pocket and sped up the porch stairs to knock on Emily's front door.
"Hey Spence. Everything okay?" asked Emily as she opened the door.
"Not at all Em. I found out Wren raped Melissa because A blackmailed him into
doing so!" I cried out as I stepped into the foyer.
"Oh my, seriously?" shouted out Emily.
I nodded nervously and pulled out the ring I found on her driveway.
"Is this yours?" I asked her as I showed her the tiny object.
"Where did you find this?" asked Emily in a panicked tone.
"On your driveway, it caught the corner of my eye." I explained.
"Hanna and I found this at the barn. She took it with her. I don't know why it's
here though." said Emily, snatching the ring away from me.
"Do you want me to call Hanna?" I asked Emily.
-15 minutes later-
"What do you mean you noticed that you lost it?" asked Emily.
"I just noticed this morning that it was missing. I looked everywhere! Someone
must have taken it." said Hanna, who rushed to Emily's house.
"A." I whispered under my breath.
"Why would A take it and bring it to me?" asked Emily with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know. But at the moment, A is really confusing." I answered.
"Hm? How's A confusing?" asked Hanna, sitting down at the island.
"A blackmailed Wren into raping Melissa or else they would tell everyone about
the affair I had with him. And so he raped her, but I just don't understand one
thing. What was the point of torturing Melissa like that?" I asked.
"Maybe she knew something she wasn't supposed to know." said Hanna.
"Where are you going with this?" I asked her nervously.
"Nowhere, really. But I have a feeling Alison knew too much." replied Hanna.
"Han, that crazy twin attacked us telling that she killed Ali for revenge." I said.
"I don't think that her twin is the leader. And maybe she's lying because why
would the leader of the whole pack attack us, risking their own lives?" asked Han.
"You are telling us that you think there are a lot of them?" asked Emily.
"I think so. One person cannot be this smart." said Hanna.
"And tricky. We need to be a step ahead of A all the time."
"How do you know all this?" asked Emily.
"I just uncovered something. Before you guys found me, A sent me a note. The
writing looked familiar, I just can't remember who's it was." said Hanna.
"It looked like different people wrote it. It looked all different."
"Do you still have the note?" I asked.
"No, I threw it out. Just like I throw all of A's notes away." replied Hanna.
"Spence? Aren't you grounded anyways?" asked Emily with a sigh.
"Oh shit! I got to run." I shouted.
I started walking down the foyer from the kitchen and stopped as something
bright red caught my eye. It was written all over Emily's front door from the
outside. It was all in lipstick:
'I spy with my little eye: Three little girls trying to be sneaky. Funny thing is,
you're not, because I will always be the one that's one step ahead. –A.'
