Chapter 2-

"I think they're over here." A loud ringing noise filled Emily's ears. She tried to sit up but felt a heavy weight across her chest. When her eyes focused on the surroundings she saw the rubble covering the floor all around her. There was a locker pinning her in place.

"Help…" She coughed out, her lungs filled with dust. "We're over here!" She could barely breathe. She heard a man calling out to her. Emily looked around as much as she could and saw Spencer leaning up against the lockers, bleeding from a wound to her head, still unconscious.

"Here! I see them!" There were several voices echoing in Emily's head. She tried to squeeze out from under the lockers. She needed to see if her friends were okay.

"Ma'am don't move." A firefighter had appeared and two more of them attempted to hoist the locker off her body. Once she was free she attempted to get up but fell over, still feeling very woozy.

"It's okay, come with us." One of the firefighters let Emily lean on her shoulder.

"What about my friends…?"

"Emily! Hanna broke free from her firefighter and ran over to her best friend.

"Hanna! What happened?" Hanna put her arm around Emily, helping to hold her up.

"I don't remember, we were down in the locker rooms and then the storm hit." Hanna had scratches all over her arms and a large gash on her cheek, but other than that she seemed okay. After knowing Hanna was safe, Emily looked around for Aria and Spencer. She saw them leaning on one another, Aria favoring what looked to be a broken right arm. Spencer had a huge gash that came down from her hair line to her left eyebrow. The paramedics had rushed over to take a look at all the girls while the firefighters pulled the rest of the students and Mr. Fitz from the rubble.

The whole scene was chaotic. Flashing lights and half of Rosewood gathered around the school courtyard. Emily scanned the crowd looking for Paige, since she hadn't seen her as she was being saved from the debris. She spotted the other swimmer being hugged by her mother next to one of the fire trucks. She had blood on her clothes, but seemed to be walking fine. Emily watched as Paige's dad ushered her quickly into the car. Emily hoped that she would at least be going to the hospital to get her injuries looked at.

Next morning:

Emily had the worst night's sleep she'd had since Alison went missing. She tossed and turned, feeling each bruise the locker had left on her. Finally, around five am, she fell into a deeper sleep; however, she was still haunted by Alison long after her eyes closed. The bright sunlight poured in through her window, slowly forcing her to wake up. She had expected to feel worse this morning from soreness; however, it felt just like any morning when she had not slept well. She stood up and padded over to her mirror. When she got home the night before, she hadn't even attempted to assess the damage. She lifted her shirt expecting to see all the bruises and cuts from the accident. Yet, when she ran her hand over her bare stomach there was no pain. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Her stomach looked like it hadn't been touched. She frantically searched her entire body for any sign of proof that last night had happened, but there was nothing. It wasn't a dream was it? It seemed so real! Her phone rang out loud causing her to jump. She saw Spencer's name on the caller ID.

"Spencer, hey you won't believe…" But Spencer cut her off.

"You're completely healed."

"I… yeah you too?! So last night did happen?" There was a pause on the other side of the phone.

"Yes… I doubt it's possible for us to all have the same dream…"

"Spencer, what is going on?" Spencer sighed.

"I have no idea… hold on Aria's calling, I'll put us on a conference call. "

"Hello?!"

"Aria, its Spencer and Emily… We know… no injuries right?"

"Spencer…. My arm was broken last night, fucking broken and now it just feels slightly sore!"

"Great… Hanna is calling me now… I'll patch her in."

"Hey Hanna, it's all three of us. We know."

"I was so terrified I was going to have a scar on my face for the rest of my life! What is going on?"

"We have no idea. We should meet up, school is closed today. My mom told me that some of the students didn't survive the accident." Spencer said that last part quietly.

"Let's meet up at the Grille in twenty minutes. I don't care if I have to throw my parents out of my way, we all need to talk about what happened."

"We will Aria. See you guys in twenty."

Emily hung up the phone and stepped back in front of the mirror. She examined her body again but could see no signs of last night's accident. Something wasn't right. She got dressed quickly and headed out the door, barely giving her mom the chance to argue.

The four girls sat at a table in complete silence, no one really knowing what to say. Aria finally spoke up.

"I dreamt about Ali all last night. I could hardly sleep, but when I did, she was there like some horrible nightmare." Emily looked at Aria slightly shocked.

"I dreamt about her too and it definitely wasn't pleasant…" 'Not like it usually was…' she thought to herself.

"What Em?" Emily looked up at Aria confused.

"Nothing I just said I dreamt of Ali." Aria looked at her with concern.

"But they you said 'not like it usually was'. What did you mean by that?" Emily almost dropped her coffee mug. 'Did I say that out loud?' she thought. She was so sure she'd kept the last part to herself.

"You said it out loud alright." Spencer looked at Aria as if she had something on her face.

"What?" Aria was confused as to why the attention was focused on her.

"What are you talking about Aria, all she said was that she had a dream too." 'Maybe she hit her head last night.' Spencer thought.

"Spencer! I did not hit my head, I'm fine! You guys are the ones who sound crazy." Spencer, Hanna and Emily looked back and forth at each other. Then Emily had a weird idea. 'Aria, can you hear what I'm saying, look at me. Notice anything odd.' Emily tried to think these lines over and over in her head.

"What the fuck. Your…. Your lips aren't moving…" She pushed herself away from the table, a terrified look on her face. Hanna and Spencer looked confused as they watched the two girls engage in a silent conversation.

'You're reading my mind.'

"Stop! Please stop you're freaking me out." Spencer laughed.

"We're freaking you out? What's going on?"

"Aria was reading my thoughts." Hanna almost spit out her tea.

"She's what? That's impossible Em." Emily raised her eyebrow at Hanna.

"Try it… focus on something, think about it." Hanna looked around the room than back at Aria. 'hello…'

"Hello! That was the best you could come up with!?" Hanna jumped slightly at Aria's tone.

"Sorry, I'm not use to talking to people in my head!"

"Calm down… okay Aria, pay attention to me." 'You're a bitch and you shouldn't be sleeping with Ezra' Spencer thought the same sentence over and over again.

"I'm not a bitch and Ezra and I haven't had sex yet!" Spencer looked at Aria in disbelief.

"This isn't possible." Emily shook her head.

"Mind reading is something Lucas talks about in his comic books, not something that happens in real life." Hanna took a large gulp of her coffee.

"Hanna, you think Lucas is cute?" Hanna looked around at her friends at the table.

"Okay! I get it, you know what I'm thinking, but I'd appreciate if you'd keep it to yourself."

"Aria, have you always had this ability? When did you realize you could do this?" Spencer turned to the girl sitting next to her, putting on her best detective face.

"Spencer, this isn't an interrogation. I have no idea what's going on. We all went to bed last night injured and woke up good as new! What about that little issue?"

"I don't even remember what happened last night after we got into the locker rooms." Emily stared at her coffee trying to recall what happened before the accident.

"Emily, was Paige hurt last night?" The mention of Paige's name perked Emily's interests.

"Yeah, she looked pretty beaten from what I can tell. Why?"

"Well she looks fine now, just like we all do." Spencer motioned to the counter where Paige was talking to the cashier. Hanna spoke up.

"We should ask her how she's feeling, maybe she thought it was weird to wake up without injuries this morning too." Emily saw Paige walking towards them and decided to speak up, even if Paige may still be mad at her.

"Hey Paige."

The redhead turned around at the sound of her name. She knew that Emily and her friends were here, she just didn't expect them to want to talk to her, but maybe they too had questions about last night.

"Hey Emily." She walked over to the table, takeout bag in hand. "Hey guys." They all said hi to Paige, but she could only really focus on Emily.

"Um, this may sound really strange, but you were hurt last night in the accident right?" Paige looked slightly panicked, but with Emily's deep brown eyes staring up at her, she had to tell the truth.

"Yeah… I'm guessing I'm not the only one who woke up perfectly fine this morning?" She looked around at the table, all the girls nodded slowly.

"We're trying to remember what happened last night after Ez… Mr. Fitz led us down into the locker room." Paige smiled at Aria's slip of tongue. It was pretty apparent at the glances they were giving each other during detention that Aria wasn't just upset about a paper grade.

"Do you remember anything? What happened before the lighting struck or what we did once we got into the locker room? Why are we not still injured?" Paige looked at Spencer with wide eyes.

"Slow down Spencer. You can sit if you want." Emily looked up at her smiling.

"I have a minute." She pulled a chair out at the head of the table, smiling at Emily, hoping the girl had forgiven her previous transgressions. "I'm not sure what's going on. I just woke up this morning feeling like last night never happened."

"Aria feels especially weird."

"Hanna!"

"What?! Maybe she feels weird too!" Aria shook her head at the blonde girl across from her.

"Funny how?" Aria tried to focus on Paige, however her mind drew a blank.

"Go on Aria, show her."

"I'm trying…"

"What's going on guys?" Paige was slightly confused at the girl's behaviors.

"I can't."

"Can't what?" 'Can't read my mind?' Paige directed her thought to the other woman and Aria nearly jumped out of her chair. 'Calm down and don't freak out.' Spencer looked at Paige then back at Aria.

"What's going on!"

"Ummm yeah. Paige knows."

"What?! How, we didn't hear you say anything?" Hanna stared down the redhead like she was from another planet.

"It's complicated. Have you guys felt weird at all since last night?"

"You mean besides the fact that there isn't a scratch on us, no." Spencer was still checking her body for marks, not believing that they could simply vanish. Emily looked at Paige, confused as to why she wasn't running in the opposite direction from her and her friends.

"Nothing weird, why should there be something?" Paige studied Hanna closely. She looked down at the table then back up to Hanna.

"Maybe." She picked up Emily's water glass. "Only one way to find out." She tilted the glass and pushed it in Hanna's direction causing the remainder to the water to splash out at the other girl. Hanna started to scream and tried to shield herself, preparing to be drenched.

"Oh my god…. Hanna…." Spencer covered her mouth with her hands.

"What!" Hanna opened her eyes and noticed that she wasn't covered in water. Instead the water was floating just above the table, inches from her body. She screamed for the second time and the water crashed down onto the table.

"That explains a lot." All four girls look at Paige.

"Paige what do you know?" Emily looked at her, slightly scared to hear Paige's answer.

"We need to go somewhere else and have this conversation. Unless you want everyone to hear Hanna scream for a third time?" All of the girls looked at each other then back to Paige.

"Okay…" Emily said and Paige placed a reassuring hand on Emily's forearm.

"Trust me, Emily. It's okay." The brunette nodded, feeling an odd warmth where Paige's hand was resting on her arm. Paige must've noticed it to, because she instantly removed her hand and stood up from her chair.

"Come on, we can't waste any time or draw more attention." The girls nodded silently, left money on the table and hurried out of the Grille hoping to find the answer to at least some of their questions.
