Hello! This is an...interesting chapter. I have to give props to guessmename for great ideas and tips. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

The floor boards creaked under their feet as they slowly walked from the front door. There was a horrible smell in the air. "Ugh, seriously Spence, what did you eat this morning?" Emily joked. Spencer gave Emily an "are you serious look" as she got her pocket flashlight out. The sun was threatening to set, even though it was only 4:45. "When did you get that flashlight?" "Last night." The conversation stopped as the light revealed the most morbid thing that A has done in 2 years. The both of them just sat there and gaped at the horrible sight in front of them, on the verge of puking. "Is that…Jason?"

Aria sat up like a lightning bolt. "What? Move in? Are you serious?" Aria was speechless. "Well a simple no would have serviced." Ezra said, not even sitting up. "I'm not saying no, it's just I-"she was interrupted by a buzz across the room. She and Ezra's phone had gone off at the same time. "It's probably Ali or Hanna." Aria said reluctantly. She had a bad feeling though, like someone was watching her but she couldn't see them. She got up, walked over to her phone, and gulped. Oh no, she thought, it can't be. She reluctantly opened the text but before she could read it Ezra read out loud (when did he get his phone?)

"Wanna know where your friends are?

You find Jason, you find them

Tell the other liars and its game over.

-A"

They knew he was dead. They knew it to be true. They didn't want to believe it. The blood was everywhere. On the walls, on the ceiling. The both of them stood there, hand in hand, shaking. The smell was overpowering their bodies. Emily saw Spencer wipe away a tear. Em sometimes forgot they were related. Wow, she thought, our lives are messed up. Neither of them wanted to move, but at the same time they wanted to run away, as far away as their feet would take them. They heard a knock on the door and jumped. They slowly walked towards the front door, hands tightly clenched together. "Wait right here" Em said, unlocking her hands with Spencer's. Em opened the door with a slow and long creak which only added to the horrible ambiance. "Who is it?" Spencer asked, almost too quiet to hear. "More like what" Emily responded mysteriously. Spence walked over to the open door and saw a note on the stoop and picked it up, assuming Emily was too afraid to do it herself. She was shaking so bad that she could barely read it.

"Do you want to play a guessing game?

10 steps forward and 7 miles north

Kisses!

Hanna and Ali were still at Spencer's. They had no clues as to what to do. "We should just go and try to find Spencer and Emily." Alison said. "Well what if they come back and none of us are here?" "I seriously doubt that sweetie" Ali said, turning towards the door. Hanna hated when she said sweetie. It reminded her of when she was obese. As Ali reached for the door, they heard a slam from the back of the house. "See? I told you that they would come back!" Hanna said excitedly. They sat there and stared towards the back door, but no one came. "Hello?" Ali called out. Hanna thought back to when Alison was attacked in her own home. She became afraid, and she assumed Ali was too. "Hello?" She called out again, her whole body shaking. All the sudden the front door swung open, making the two girls jump. They turned towards the door to see not one, but two people wearing all black. They both screamed and tried to run away but the two "A"s grabbed each of the girls and put a black cloth over their mouths. Hanna tried to make sense of the situation but before she could, she lost consciousness.

Aria wanted to scream. She couldn't believe that this was happening. Why would Ezra be involved? She sat there crying, her makeup running down her face. "I don't want you to be involved Ezra. I want you to stay here in your apartment, safe." She said taking a break to breath. "I already was involved, Aria. I want to come with you." He said, confident. He kissed her on the cheek softly then looked down. "Well if you promise you'll be careful-" She tried to say before Ezra cut her off. "Yes mom, I promise I will be careful" he joked, trying to cheer her up. Aria smiled and playfully hit his arm. They stood up and grabbed their stuff. "Now" Ezra grabbed Aria's hand. He noticed it was shaking. "Where do we start?" Aria sighed. "Can we just stay here…for a little while?" Ezra stopped by the front door, looking at the love of his life. She stood there with the makeup smeared under her eyes. He could tell that she was tired. Not just of today but of this life style. He just walked over and hugged her. He loved her so much and he couldn't stand it when she was like this. He made them tea and sit down with her. They sat there for hours without talking, just cuddling. Aria was asleep when Ezra got a text. He carefully took out his phone and read the text silently.

"Do you want to know what happens when you upset Aria?

See for yourself.

-A"

They walked ten steps forward from the front stoop. It was just to the car. As they got in Spencer said "7 miles north… isn't that Allentown?" "Yes. I once had a swim meet there." Emily said, immediately missing swimming. "Well" Spencer tried to change the subject "it looks like we might need to get a hotel room there. Good thing I have my credit card." Spencer said. Emily didn't respond, she just looked out the window. The glow from the outside world reflected on her face as they drove past. It looked like scene out of a movie. As they drove in silence Spencer thought about what Jason would have to do with Allentown. Why was he murdered? She didn't have to guess who killed him, though. It was as obvious that it was A. As she thought she realized that she was running low on gas. She pulled over at a convenience store and asked Em if she wanted anything. When she got no answer, Spencer assumed she was asleep. As she got out of the car, she locked it and walked in the store wishing that Emily would be her happy self once again.
