Hanna's POV

I wandered over to the right side of the room. It was pretty empty except for a couple of shelves and boxes lying around. I starting looking behind the shelves, but I didn't see Spencer. My heart started to beat faster and faster as I got more worried. What if we couldn't find her? What if Melissa killed her? Would she really kill her own sister? My head was buzzing with questions. I called out to Aria to see if she found her yet.

H- do you see her?

A- no, you?

H- not at all. It's completely dark in here!

A- let's keep looking.

H- right.

I fumbled in the dark, trying not to knock into anything. As I was getting back to where I started looking, I felt my foot kick something. I looked down and before I had time to react, I fell right over whatever it was my foot had found. I got up slowly and rolled my head around my neck. It was pretty sore. When I saw what I tripped over, I screamed.

A- what is it?!

H- Spencer!

A- omg!

H- get over here!

A- coming!

I could hear Aria's petite feet dash across the room. She ran right into me, panting for breath.

A- is-is she alive?

H- let me check.

I bent down next to Spencer. I strained my ear to try and hear a heartbeat. It was there, but it was very faint. I got up and told Aria.

A- well?

H- she is breathing, but only just.

A- look, her head!

H- oh my god!

Across her forehead there was a huge cut with blood running down the side of her head. The cut was pretty deep. Maybe deep enough for stiches. What were we going to do? We aren't medically trained professionals and as far as I know, neither is Emily, Toby, or even Melissa. If Spencer died from this, I would make sure Melissa would pay.

Aria's POV

I had no idea what to think or what to do. We just stood there like complete idiots. I wanted to do something, I just didn't know what. I watched Hanna try to wake Spencer up, but she wouldn't. She was out cold. Melissa must have wacked her across the head pretty hard to make that big of a gash. We needed to do something about the cut before it got infected. I studied the pattern on Hanna's scarf, some kind of floral pattern with blues and oranges and a dash of pink. I saw one in Forever 21 the other day. Hanna got it before I did which made me jealous. So jealous I thought of stealing it yesterday. Then it came to me.

A- Hanna!

H- what?

A- your scarf!

H- what about it?

A- you can tie to around Spencer's head to stop the bleeding!

H-but I just got this!

A- Hanna Marin. WRAP THE SCARF AROUND HER FOREHEAD!

H- but-

A- just do it!

H- ok.

She unwound the scarf from her neck and wrapped it around Spencer's forehead. Blood instantly soaked through the scarf, but at least it would stop the bleeding.

A- now we just wait for her to wake up.

Spencer's POV

I still couldn't open my eyes, but I wasn't asleep either. It is sort of like when it is really early in the morning and your mom or dad tries to get up but you are half asleep. I could faintly hear Hanna and Aria yelling at each other. Something about a scarf? I wish I could call out to them and tell them I was alright. I could tell the way their voices sounded that they had worry buried deep inside them. I opened my mouth but no words came out. I must have looked pretty freaky with my eyes closed and my mouth opened. I could of sworn I heard one of them scream. Probably Hanna. I tried one more desperate time to wake up. Surprisingly, I had enough strength to push past all the pain and managed to open my eyes a little.

H- Aria!

A- what?!

H- she opened her eyes! She opened her eyes!

S- *weakly* Ha-Hanna? Ari-Aria?

A- you're awake!

H- we were so worried!

S- yah, I could tell by the way you screamed, Hanna.

Aria and I both laughed but Hanna didn't. We kept on laughing until she joined in the laughing fit.

S- the last thing I remember was seeing Melissa.

H- what do you remember about her?

S- something big. Something important and revealing.

A- maybe that she is A?

S- that's what it was! I can't believe it! My own sister! But why?

H- we have no idea.

A- after she knocked you out, she beat us up and tied us up.

S- are you guys ok?

H- we're fine. Just minor cuts and bruises.

A- nothing like yours of course.

S- yah. Hey, do you guys know where Emily or Toby is?

H- no. Remember we crawled through the tunnel and found you?

S- oh yah. I remember now.

A- I hope they are ok.

H- me too. I haven't seen or heard from them since we spilt up.

S- but they are defiantly somewhere in the lake house?

A- yah.

H- Toby was on his way here to rescue you.

A- we almost ran over him in the driveway and—

S- hold it. You almost ran him over?!

H- he's fine really.

A- anyway, after we decided to team up, he knocked the door down and we spilt up to find you.

S- and here you are.

H- yep.

A- so does anyone here have a plan to escape?

S- no.

H- me neither.

A- ahh, come on! Spencer always has a plan.

S- not this time.

H- what are we going to do?!

S- well, if the windows and doors and blocked, the only thing we can do is try to break one of them down.

A- or we could go back through the tunnel that led us here!

S- oh my god your right!

H- wait. Aria, remember how high down the drop was from the closet?

A- oh yah your right. I didn't think of that.

S- what?

H- long story short, A locked us in a closet and set a trap so we would fall.

A- now what do we do?

S- the rope! We can use the rope Melissa used to tie your hands!

H- I'm not sure I am following…

A- big surprise there.

H- shut it!

S- anyway. I was thinking that the 3 of us could stand on each other's shoulders. Then the person on top can get up. The second person can get up too if the rest of us help them. Then whoever is already up throws down the rope for the last one of us to climb up. Then finally we pull them up, and we are out of here!

A- sounds pretty good to me.

H- same.

S- alright!

A- I'll go get the rope.
