Hanna's POV

We started in the kitchen and looked for anything that could be useful. I am not very good at playing detective and neither is Aria. This was going to be really hard. Maybe we should have just called the cops and let them handle it. But then again, every time we tell someone, especially the cops, A strikes. And that is the last thing we need.

A- how are we ever going to find anything? Or Spencer for that matter.

H- by looking?

A- haha.

H- c'mon. Emily is with Toby looking. We have to be helpful you know.

A- ok, ok I get it.

H- (nods and starts opening cabinets)

A- I am going to go look through that closet there.

H- ok.

She walked away from me and in the direction of the closet. Why did she want to look in the closet?. I mean, isn't there something with closets in horror movies? I shook off the thought and went back to looking through the cabinets.

A- (scared) Haan-Hanna? You might want to take a look at this.

H- (walks over to her) take a look at what?

A- (points) that!

H- (screams) what is that?!

Inside the closet there was what looked like a dead body. I wanted to see who it was but they were wearing a mask. Was that A? Could A die? Or did A kill somebody else?

A- should we take off the mask?

H- and by 'we' you mean you?

A- (sighs) fine. I will take off the mask.

She lifted up the mask. I looked to see who it was. I couldn't believe it. It was Ian!

H- holy crap.

A- is he dead?

H- I don't know! He looks dead!

A- but I don't see any blood on him! No cuts, no blood, no glass in his skin, nothing!

H- so how do you think he could have died?

A- I thought he was dead! The bell tower?!

H- but didn't we come back with the police and Ian wasn't there?

A- that's right. But did A bring him here?

H- to Spencer's lake house?

A- it doesn't make sense.

H- if A killed Ian, which I am sure A did, maybe A brought him here so no one could know he was still alive.

A- but his eyes are closed! He doesn't look alive.

H- hang on.

I put my hand over his chest to see if there was a pulse. There wasn't. I looked at Aria and she seemed to be interested in the floor.

A- so he is dead?

H- I couldn't feel his heart beating.

Melissa's POV (from now on I am just going to say Melissa's POV instead of A's POV)

I heard Hanna and Aria scream when they opened the closet. Everything was going well. I peered around the corner to spy on them. They had figured out Ian Thomas was dead. Perfect. I slowly walked towards the closet, being careful to not make too much noise. I stepped in full view of the closet with the bitches backs facing me. I grinned and slammed the door closed. I could hear them banging on the door and yelling for help. I quickly locked it so they couldn't escape. Time for the booby trap. I pulled out a remote from my pocket and pressed the only button on it. I waited a couple of seconds until they screamed. Then the screaming faded, leaving the air with complete silence.

Aria's POV (before they got locked in the closet)

Hanna and I were standing there, in complete shock. Neither of us knew what to say. Ian was dead. But who killed him and why? There has to be reason, a motive. But what? Then I made a list in my head, thinking of all the people who would have a reason to kill Ian. Alison immediately popped into my head. It sounded crazy because she is dead, but she hooked up with Ian while he was dating Melissa. Killing him would have gotten rid of the evidence. Alison may have been a ruthless, conniving little bitch, but I don't think she would have gone as far as killing someone to save her skin. Or would she?

I was about to think of someone else to add to my list when the door behind us slammed shut. I immediately turned around and ran up to the door, but someone from the outside locked it. I looked at Hanna and she started banging on the door. I joined her and started yelling and screaming for help. Nothing happened. I slumped against the wall, listening to Hanna's high pitch screams. She was giving me a headache.

H- (screaming and banging) Hello?! Is anyone there?! Hello? Unlock the door!

A- Hanna, enough!

H- what?

A- it is hopeless. We are trapped in here.

She frowned and sat down next to me.

H- glad you are being so cheery.

I rolled my eyes at her. What on earth was going on? One minute the door was wide open and the next—we are locked in. It must be A. We don't know where Spencer is and Toby and Emily are upstairs. We sat in the dark, neither of us saying anything to each other. I started to drift a little bit when I heard a faint giggling. I woke up in a panic.

A- did you hear that?

H- hear what?

A- that giggling!

H- I don't hear anything.

A- I know I heard something.

She closed her eyes, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation much further.

H- its probably just you psyching yourself out.

A- I guess.

I closed my eyes again, telling myself it was all in my head. There was nothing to worry about— hehehe. There was that giggling again! I opened my eyes once more and shook Hanna awake.

A- Hanna! Hanna! Wake up!

H- what is it?

A- I heard the laughter again!

H- not this again.

A- no, I swear I did!

H- ok, I told you it is probably just you hearing things and—

All of a sudden the floor began to buckle under us. I looked at Hanna, confused. What was going on?! Then we fell head first into a pit. We both screamed in sheer terror as we tumbled to the bottom. It felt like we were never going to land, like we would never stop falling. But we finally fell into what looked like a tunnel. I landed first, then Hanna right on top of me. I groaned and tried to push her off but she wouldn't budge. Then she let out a gut wrenching shriek.

A- what?!

H- IAN'S BODY IS ON TOP OF ME!

A- oh my god!

H- get it of me!

A- push it off you, then get off me!

I felt her squirm on top of me, trying to get the corpse off of her. She finally managed to shove it off her and stand up. But as soon as she did she hit her head.

H- oww!

A- are you ok?

H- I think so.

A- where are we?

H- it looks like some kind of tunnel.

A- how are we in a tunnel?

H- we must be deep under the lake house.

A- do you remember what happened?

H- we were locking in the closet with Ian's dead body. You heard the laughing, and the next minute we fall and land here.

A- A must have booby trapped that whole floor.

H- and she probably put Ian in there as well.

I nodded in agreement. This was crazy. How were we going to get back to the lake house? Should we leave Ian's body here? I rubbed my forehead, trying to think. The smartest thing to do now seemed to follow this tunnel until it lead us somewhere. I told Hanna this and she just nodded. We also decided to drag Ian's body with us.

Hanna's POV

It took every ounce of strength in my body to pull Ian, but I did. Along with Aria's help of course. I swear if I broke another nail I was going to go ballistic. I just got a manni done yesterday! But none the less I sucked it up and continued pulling Ian.

The tunnel led us to a huge room. I was relieved to finally be out of that stupid tunnel! I had bumped my head at least 10 times. I know Aria felt the same way because when we entered the room, she lay down in exhaustion. I lay down next to her. Finally, we could have some peace and quiet.

Voice- Hanna? Aria? Is that you?

I looked at Aria and she was as freaked out as I was. Who was that? We got up quickly to see if we could see who the voice belonged to, but it was pitch black. I couldn't see a thing. Then I could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I gulped and held Aria's hand. The voice called out to us again, getting louder and louder. I shut my eyes tight, wishing this would all go away. The footsteps stopped, and I opened my eyes.

H- Spencer?!
