Chapter 1
Hello all. This is Mach9330. As windstorm16 said in an update, I am adopting his Fox in the Game story, since I was Co-Author for most of it and he has lost interest in it. So, without further ado, here is chapter 1.
I own nothing
'Let's see top floor, penthouse suite.' Thought Charlotte, pressing the button to the top floor in the elevator, knocking on the door once she reached the top.
A few days had passed since leaving London and saying goodbye to her half-sister, Alex Drake, to return to Rosewood to continue the game with her dolls. While Charlotte would have liked to stay with her sister, she couldn't deny her addiction to the game. It was like a drug for her, always so fun watching the Liars run around paranoid of what and when "A" will strike next.
But on the plane ride back to the states, Charlotte realized that with what she had planned next, she would have to get some help. But not just anyone, she'd need someone who also had a grudge against the Liars or at least someone she could persuade to help her.
It took some doing but she finally found the perfect partner. He was smart, cunning, was a skilled hacker, and most important had a grudge against the Liars, mostly towards Alison, which didn't surprise Charlotte that much.
It didn't hurt he was easy on the eyes either.
Charlotte was pulled from her thoughts when the door opened, revealing an eighteen-year-old spiky blonde teen with bright blue eyes. Her eyes instantly went to his cheeks, where she saw three symmetrical lines resembling whiskers. From her research, Charlotte knew they were scars.
'He looks like a fox.' Charlotte thought
"Can I help you?" The teen asked confused as to who this woman was knocking on his door.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Asked Charlotte, wanting to make sure she had the right person.
"Who's asking?" Said Naruto, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.
"So you are Naruto Uzumaki, formerly of Rosewood, Pennsylvania." Charlotte confirmed, not missing how he clenched his fists at the mention of Rosewood or how his eyes turned ice cold.
"I suppose if you're here about that sad little town, I should be asking what do you want?" Said Naruto, as Charlotte smiled dangerously at him.
"How'd you like to torment Alison DiLaurentis and her little friends?" Charlotte said with a cold smile.
Charlotte would swear to her last breath in that moment, she felt like she just made a deal with the devil.
*Welcome to the Dollhouse*
Opening her eyes, Aria looked around and saw she was in her room, or at least what she thought was her room. Getting up, Aria looked around seeing that it looked like her room, it just seemed off. Going over to a picture frame on the dresser, she saw it was of four mannequins.
"What the…" Aria said confused and freaking out.
Grabbing the books on the windowsill, she saw they were just cardboard cutouts. Opening the closet revealed it to be a cement wall.
Aria soon realized this was A's doing, this was A's house.
'Or A's dollhouse and we're the dolls.' Aria thought, knowing her friends were likely close by. Suddenly she jumped when a woman's voice came through a PA system.
"Welcome. Willkomen. Bienvenidos."
Hearing a buzzer, Aria saw the door opened up, before the voice came back.
"Please exit your room and follow the lighted pathway."
Walking over to the door, Aria opened it and walked out seeing Hanna, Emily, and Spencer, all them being in what looked like an underground bunker, with blinking lights lining the wall.
"Oh, my god." Aria muttered, running over to her friends.
"Is everybody okay?" Asked Emily, concerned something could have happened while they were unconscious.
"What is this place?" Arias asked, though she's sure they all knew.
"I think this is A's house." Hanna answered.
"More like A's dollhouse." Corrected Spencer.
"Yeah, and we're the dolls." Emily concluded just as the PA went on again.
"Please follow the lighted pathway."
They looked around unsure if they should or not, not knowing what's on the other end.
"Please follow the lighted pathway."
"We heard you, bitch." Said Hanna, anger replacing the fear.
Seeing no other choice, the Liars followed the lighted pathway slowly, not wanting to walk into a trap. Soon they reached a metal door where they could faintly hear piano music being played, opening the door they saw a replica of the DiLaurentis living room with someone playing the piano wearing Alison's and a mask.
Walking up to the person they believed to be Alison, Emily was the one to ask.
"Ali, is that you?"
The person stopped playing and looked at them before reaching up and taking the mask off revealing not Alison, but Mona Vanderwaal, who they all believed to have been killed.
"Oh, my god!" Said Aria, as they all looked shocked to see Mona alive.
Setting the mask down, Mona looked to the Liars still shocked expressions.
"Mona?" Hanna asked, Mona looking at her with an amused expression.
"Mona? I know it's been a while, but I haven't changed that much, have I?" Said Mona, getting up from the piano and going over to a mirror, adjusting her hair.
"You guys, it's me… Alison." Mona said, turning to them.
The Liars now traded uneasy looks.
*Control Room*
Tapping his fingers, Naruto flipped through the different cameras in the dollhouse, needing something to keep himself occupied. Looking at a different screen, he saw it was a notice of someone hacking into the security cameras on the overpass where he picked up the Liars. Naruto smirked, shaking his head when he saw it was Hannah's boyfriend Caleb.
'He's good, I'll admit. I'm just better.' Naruto thought, knowing the only thing they'll find is that cartoon he uploaded to the cameras if someone tried hacking them.
Grabbing his phone just as it started vibrating, he saw, to his annoyance, it was Charlotte.
C: Do you have them?
N: Yes.
C: Good, you remember what I told you to do?
N: I remember saying I decided what happens here. I built this place, I decide the rules. Now leave me alone.
Putting the phone away before she could respond, Naruto turned back to the cameras.
*DiLaurentis Living Room*
The Liars sat awkwardly as Mona poured them tea, though Hanna couldn't keep quiet from seeing her best friend alive.
"I can't believe it's really you." Said Hanna, as Emily frantically looked around the room for a way out.
"There has to be another way out." Emily said, opening a door only to find a cement wall.
"There's not. Now come, sit down. It's tea time." Said Mona.
"Tea time?" Aria said quietly.
Emily stared at Mona like she was crazy for wanting to have tea, but quietly sat down knowing, it's useless to say anything.
"What is this place? Do you know where we are?" Spencer asked, wondering how long Mona's been here and if she knew where they were.
"We're in my living room, Spencer. This is my house. Why are you acting like such an imbecile?" Said Mona as if it was obvious, Spencer unsure how to respond to that though admitting that's likely something Alison would say.
"Han, it's not like you're gonna gain it all back by eating one cookie. You know you want one." Mona tempted, with Hanna reluctantly taking a cookie.
"We really thought you were dead." Stated Emily, hoping that'd get a reaction.
"Thank god for Mrs. Grunwald. I don't know how I'll ever repay her for saving my life that night. I'm so happy to see you guys." Mona said, still acting like Alison.
"We're really happy to see you too, Mona." Said Hanna, placing a hand on her knee.
"Do not call me that again. You know how much I loathe that bitch." Mona said, as Emily let go of a strand of Mona's hair and mouth something to Spencer, who turned to Aria who mentally groaned at having to play along.
"So, Alison…" Aria began, trying to think of something to say.
"More tea?" Asked Mona before four chimes went off.
Mona wordlessly got up and left the room the Liars quickly getting up and following her. They followed her to what looked like a child's toy room while five chairs surrounded a table with "Mystery Date" on it. Walking over, Spencer grabbed a block off a shelf looking at Mona who had already sat down.
"We need to start the game." Mona said.
"What if we don't want to play?" Retorted Spencer, not wanting to play anymore of A's twisted games.
"Four chimes means it's game time." Mona said, nervously looking up at a camera before lifting the box off the board as the Liars took their seats.
"The object of the game is to be ready for your date by acquiring an outfit. Then you get to open the door and find out who your mystery date is. Like this." Mona demonstrated, opening the door showing a picture of Caleb at the Ice Ball.
"Wait, that's from the Ice Ball." Said Hanna, as Aria shook her head.
"No. I'm not gonna sit here and play this stupid game." Aria said.
"Just do it." Whispered Spencer, not wanting to know what A would do if they didn't.
Reluctantly Aria, opened the door moving Caleb's picture aside, only for them to be shocked and terrified when they saw not a picture but a large A.
Aria's mystery date was A.
"No, no, no. no, not happening." Said Aria shaking her head, refusing to believe this.
Just then, two chimes sounded and Mon got up opening a small mailbox pulling out five envelopes.
"There's something for everyone today." Mona said monotonously, passing out the envelopes.
Opening them revealed them to be invitations to prom.
"These are invitations to prom. I think we're playing the game to see who our prom dates will be." Said Emily, Aria even more scared to have A as her prom date.
"No, I'm not." Hanna said, finally tired of this as she faced the camera.
"You win. Okay? You can have us as your precious dolls. But if Caleb shows up here, if you do anything to hurt him, I will kill you." Threatened Hanna.
"Hanna! No." Mona said, internally freaking out.
"You are not Alison. You're Mona, okay? And this is not your house. You're not here alone anymore. There are five of us, and one of him, her, it, bitch." Said Hanna, directly at the camera.
*Control Room*
'Aaah, look at that. Little Hanna grew a backbone. Either that, or she simply has no sense of self-preservation when facing an unknown enemy. Let's find out.' Thought Naruto, turning the siren on watching as they ran to their rooms, turning it off once they were all inside.
Noticing the time, Naruto frowned. It's almost time to turn the generator off, considering this place uses a lot of power, he has to shut the generator off every night so it doesn't overheat. And the back-up power goes on shortly after, though it still takes three minutes to go on.
'Luckily I always have a plan.' Naruto thought, activating the microphones in the walls.
*Later*
The Liars were relieved to see Mona being her normal self when she got them out of their rooms. They were now following her through the dollhouse as she explained what she knew.
"Every night the main generator shuts down like clockwork. It takes exactly 3 minutes for the back-up power to kick in. I have run for 90 seconds in each direction. That's the way out, but there's an old silo at the end, and you have to climb up. There is a ladder, but it's about 50 feet to the top. And you can't get there before the power turns on and all the doors lock again. That leads to a big, empty room. There's nothing there. It's not a way out. But if you go past it, there's a steel door at the end of the hall and it's sealed like a vault."
"Like a bank vault? What's inside?" Spencer asked, wondering what A could be hiding behind a sealed door.
"I'm dying to know, too, Spencer. But I've never made it inside. It's to far to make it back into your room." Said Mona, terrified of what had happened when she didn't make it to her room the last time.
"What happens if you don't make it back in time?" Emily asked, Mona reluctantly telling them knowing they needed to know how serious this was.
"It leaves for days without food or water. It blasts the siren until you'd rather die than listen to it one more second. On a loop it plays a recording of the people that you've left behind, crying at your funeral." Mona explained.
"Is my mom okay?" Asked Mona, having worried about her mom ever since waking up here.
"You know you're Mona." Hanna said, after a moment of silence.
"It wanted me to become Alison. So that's who I am when it's watching. It thinks it beat me. But I'm still here. I'm one who's winning the game." Said Mona, strongly unaware A was listening in on every word.
"Is she okay? My mom?" Mona repeated.
"I saw her a lot in the beginning. But there was a trial. They convicted Ali for your murder." Replied Hanna.
"And they arrested us as accessories." Aria added.
"I didn't think you were wearing that to make a fashion statement." Mona said with sarcasm, as they all rolled their eyes.
"Yep, she's Mona." Muttered Aria.
"Your mom never showed up to the courthouse. We heard that it was all too much for her." Hanna continued, as Mona's eyes lowered in sadness.
"God, Mona, I'm so happy you're okay." Said Hanna, wrapping her arms around her friend.
Mona returned the hug when suddenly she heard a click.
"Did you hear that?" Mona asked.
"Hear what?" Said Spencer, not hearing anything.
Mona heard the clicking again and she knew their time was almost up.
"We've got seventeen seconds. Run!" Mona said as they ran back to their rooms.
*Timeskip*
"You guys, the blocks in the playroom spelled out a name. Charles." Spencer told them as they entered a large room with various stations to set up a prom.
"Please find your stations."
Walking over to the tables with folded pieces of paper.
"Aria Montgomery, music committee." Said Aria.
"Emily Fields and Spencer Hastings, decorating committee." Emily read.
"Hanna Marin, food and beverage. Bite me." Said Hanna.
"Alison DiLaurentis, prom queen election committee." Said Mona.
Aria frowned when she saw all the songs.
"All these songs are from like seven years ago." Aria said, flipping through the pages.
"A Night at The Opera. That was the prom theme the last year that Melissa took Ian." Spencer realized, seeing the decorations.
"So A's recreating a prom we already had?" Asked Emily.
"Well, if I'm on the election committee, you can be sure I'll win that crown." Mona said, falling back into her "Alison" roll.
Though before she could continue, a buzzer went off over the PA making them all stop nervous of what they did wrong.
"What does that mean?" Spencer whispered, Mona shaking her head showing she didn't know.
"Uh, do you not want me as prom queen." Mona called out, the answer being one chime meaning yes.
"Then who do you think should be queen?" Asked Mona, nervous since this never happened before.
Alison was A's favorite wasn't she?
Mona motioned for the Liars to say something, even if they really didn't want to. Sighing, Spencer spoke up first.
"Me?"
A buzzer.
"Me?" Asked Emily, hoping it wasn't her.
A buzzer again
"No." Hanna said, stubbornly crossing her arms.
Thankfully a buzzer again rather than a siren.
All eyes turned to a pale Aria, who was shaking her head.
"Mm-mm, no way, not happening." Said Aria.
She already had to be A's date, she was not being his queen!
"Just do it, you want that siren to go off again." Said Spencer.
"No, I am not being prom queen for this lunatic." Aria said quietly.
"Aria please, if you don't I really don't know what they'll do." Mona pleaded, Aria wavering for a moment.
"… Me?" Aria asked reluctantly.
One chime.
"Well uh, congratulations Aria. Even if you're not me, you'll do fine wearing a crown." Mona said, acting like Alison again.
"Sort of like old times, huh, Spencer? Remember when I rigged the election for you to win class president." Said Mona, as Spencer felt her eye twitch before turning back to her station.
"Want to fill some of these out? I'll help you if help me." Said Mona, knowing Spencer will understand what she really meant.
"Sure." Spencer replied, walking over to the ballots.
"If A doesn't mind , maybe we can, all help each other, starting with these ballots." Mona said, as they all gathered around the table.
*Control Room*
'Could they be any more obvious?' Naruto thought, knowing Mona was telling them about the gas mask he had to give her.
While there were some things he had to do as Charlotte wanted it, everything else he had free reign over. And as far as Naruto was concerned, only one of the Liars deserved to be called a queen.
Looking back at the monitors, Naruto saw them now back at their own stations, likely finishing whatever they were plotting.
*Prom Room*
Cutting out some masks, Spencer got a paper cut making her drop them.
"Are you okay?" Emily asked, Spencer starting her part.
"So this is gonna be our senior prom? We're decorating with construction paper and tape?" Spencer demanded.
"Maybe that's part of our punishment, to put together the lamest prom ever." Said Emily sarcastically.
"You know, this space is actually pretty awesome. I'm surprised "A" doesn't have the imagination to see it." Said Spencer mockingly.
"It's a big, ugly room." Hanna stated.
"Okay, but what if... What if we use the staircase to make a grand entrance for Aria to walk down? We think Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard. All right, we could rig a bunch of cameras to go off on a timer as you walk down those steps." Said Spencer, looking at her friend who felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"It'd be so easy to take all these copper pipes and use them for drapery rods." Spencer continued.
"And we could use old pipes and make beautiful candelabras. And we could hang wire from the ceiling and hang shapes to create some beautiful shadows and silhouettes." Mona added.
'Just kill me now.' Aria thought, covering her face since she knew she would be the one to walk down the steps.
"That would be A Night at The Opera." Said Spencer, looking at the camera.
*Later*
"So "A's" a guy?" Asked Hanna, glad to finally have something on A.
"I don't know any girls named Charles." Spencer said.
"Why would "A" give you a gas mask. And why would he want me as prom queen?" Asked Aria.
"Ali's his favorite, or at least I thought she was. I thought after the prom, she was the only one he wanted to keep. Now I don't know." Mona said, not sure what to think at this turn of events.
"So our Night at The Opera is going to turn into a scene from Carrie?" Asked Emily.
"No, we're not gonna let that happen." Spencer said before looking in the direction of the vault, wanting to know what was inside.
"I know what you're thinking, Spencer, but I promise you don't have time to make it to that vault." Said Mona, as if reading her mind.
"So have you ever built one?" Mona asked.
"I haven't needed to build one. But I've read about it." Confessed Spencer.
"Build what?" Asked Aria.
"The stuff Spencer said she needed to decorate. If it delivers, we'll have what we need to build a machine that temporarily shuts off the electricity." Replied Mona.
"How long is temporarily?" Hanna asked.
"Long enough to get us out of here." Answered Spencer, before they all heard a click showing the back-up power was going to come on.
"Yeah, we can turn off the power, but what about "A?" And it's his prom. There's no way he's not coming." Reminded Emily, Mona smirking a little.
"I hope you're right, Emily. Because like Hanna said, there's five of us and one of him." Said Mona.
*Control Room*
"…there's five of us and one of him."
'Tsk, tsk, tsk. And here I thought you were one of the smart ones Mona.' Naruto thought.
He'll still give them what they want, if only just to appease his own curiosity of what they're planning.
*Next Day*
"Good morning. Guten tag. Bom dia. Please find your stations."
"Oh, wow. This is not what I was expecting." Said Spencer acting surprised whe she saw everything she needed
"So now you're excited? You're actually going to help "A" decorate this place?" Emily asked.
"We can use this to make a curtain for Aria's grand entrance." Said Spencer, acting like she didn't hear Emily while holding a white curtain.
Aria smiling weakly as if she was excited.
"Well, you're on your own." Emily stated, sitting on the ground.
"Em, we're all in this together. What are you doing?" Reminded Aria.
"Taking a stand." Emily retorted.
"By sitting?" Questioned Hanna.
"This isn't my prom. I'm not helping." Replied Emily.
"Why are you being such a bitch?" Spencer demanded.
"I'm being a bitch? Take a look around. Why are you making this easy for A? Oh, my God, drapes! Thanks, A. I'm so excited, I get to have my senior prom in a dungeon." Retorted Emily, sarcasm lacing her tone.
"You know what? Forget it, Emily. I don't need your help." Spencer dismissed, kicking Emily's hand.
"You did that on purpose." Said Emily angrily.
"Get over yourself." Spencer retorted.
"Stop, this is already stressful enough as it is. Spencer, don't start-" Aria said.
"I didn't start anything. The quitter did. That's what you do isn't it, Emily? You quit things. When things are too much for you, you just throw in the towel. I mean, you quit the swim team. You quit Paige. You even quit Maya." Said Spencer.
Scoffing Emily, grabbed Spencer pushing her back before both started fighting. Though as Aria and Hanna tried breaking it up, Mona grabbed several parts putting them in a box and took it away.
"You guys, honestly, I cannot handle this. Please, can we not do this to each other?" Hanna asked after she and Aria managed to pull them apart.
"I'm sorry, Spence. Okay, I know this isn't your fault." Said Emily after a pause.
"Me, too. Look, I'm just trying to make the best of a very bad situation." Spencer replied.
"If you baboons are done fighting, I could use some help over here. Then we can all decorate together." Said Mona, opening one of the boxes while holding a camera out of view of A's camera.
*Later*
"So is everything all set?" Asked Hanna as she and Emily walked over to the stairs where Spencer, Aria, and Mona were setting up the entrance.
"Yeah. We're about as ready as we can be." Replied Spencer.
"Aria, since you're the queen, it's only right I take the pictures to capture how good you look." Mona said, holding the camera.
"You know how to work that, right?" Asked Emily.
"Yeah. It's just point and shoot, isn't it?" Replied Mona, looking at the intricate workings Spencer made.
"Yeah, just save it for tonight though, 'cause there's only one first picture. You know what I mean?" Spencer said, lowering the camera so it didn't accidently go off.
"Got it." Said Mona as the PA sounded again.
"Good afternoon. Guten tag. Boa tarde. Please follow the lighted pathway and return to your rooms."
"We got this." Emily said, seeing Hanna looking nervous.
Once they arrived at their rooms they all saw dresses, gloves, and make-up bags on their beds.
"A thought of everything." Aria said, as all the doors shut behind them.
Looking back at the dress on her bed Aria would begrudgingly admit it was a beautiful, even if it was from A.
It was crimson in color, the skirt being long and flowing that it would glide light across the ground, it was tight around the waist with the top part leaving her upper back and shoulders exposed, being attached to a choker that'd go around her neck, and a small slit in the center.
'Why does this look so… familiar?' Aria thought, feeling like she's seen the dress before.
Grabbing the collar Aria looked on the inside to confirm her suspicions, she was right when she found a small stitching of a swirl.
'How did A get this?' Thought Aria in worry as to how A got this dress.
More importantly, WHO A had gotten the dress from?
Deciding to focus on her current problem, Aria grabbed the dress, finding a crown underneath.
'Why me?' Aria thought, wondering why A was suddenly focusing on her.
*Later*
Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and Mona stood at the top of the stairs, all of them nervous and creeped out by all the mannequins dressed up looking at them.
"Am I the only one who has goosebumps?" Mona asked.
"No." Replied the three Liars.
"Where's Aria?" Asked Hanna.
"I don't think she's here yet." Spencer answered, thinking A wanted to wait for Aria's big entrance as Prom Queen.
Suddenly, lights came on spinning around the room.
"I guess that means we're supposed to dance." Said Emily, the other three looking at her before walking down the stairs.
Looking around the room, the four were unaware of one of the supposed mannequins wearing a fox mask watching them.
After a moment of "socializing" the girls heard the music stop and the PA system turn on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your prom queen… Aria Montgomery!"
Aria stood at the top of the stairs wearing the red dress and crown, while a cheering track played. Knowing this was their chance, Spencer walked up the stairs.
"Charles… we have something for you." Said Spencer taking Aria's hand leading her down the stairs, as Hanna revealed another crown
"You should be standing up here, Charles. It's what you want, isn't it?" Spencer asked, ignoring the glare Aria was giving her.
She may have agreed to this plan but that didn't mean she liked it!
"This is your prom, Charles. You should be crowned the king." Added Hanna as they all looked around for where he could be.
'I can't believe I have to do this.' Naruto thought, knowing he'll have to step out to see what exactly their plan is.
Moving into view the girls eyes all turned to his fox-masked visage, all of them looking nervous once they saw him. Stepping around the mannequins Naruto saw Mona raising the camera, likely something to temporarily blind him.
"Wait for it." Spencer whispered knowing they only had one chance and they needed him close enough
'Alright, that's enough of that.' Thought Naruto stopping just short of the distance they needed him at.
The girls stood worriedly when Charles didn't walk any closer, did he know what they were planning?
Pulling out his phone, Naruto pressed a button causing the mannequins to suddenly move out of the way, worrying the Liars. Pressing another button caused the music to play again.
(Play-Within Temptation-All I Need)
Naruto held out his hand and bowed lightly, making the Liars begin to internally freak out, knowing what he wanted.
Working to control her breathing Aria stepped forward whispering in Spencer's ear as she did.
"When you get the chance, use it." Aria whispered, ignoring her friends trying to stop her.
Once she was close enough, Aria hesitated for a moment before placing her hand in Charles'. He then guided her to the now clear dance floor, before taking a step back and raising his right hand. Aria, realizing what the dance was, as she raised her right hand making it hover just over his. Spinning around each other once, before repeating the motion with their left hands raised, and a final time with both hands, then her right and his left hands clasped with the other hands on each other backs.
The entire time Aria was thinking, 'How did he know I knew this dance?'
Not many people knew this but Aria was taught how to dance when she was younger, and while it wouldn't be that surprising that Charles would know she was taught to dance, how did he know it was this specific one?
'Once is chance, twice is coincidence, please don't let there be third.' Aria mentally pleaded as the song ended.
"Thank you." Said Aria, while Charles nodded once before escorting her back to her friends.
Nodding to Spencer once they were close enough and Charles let her go, who looked to Mona.
"Now!" Spencer said, as Mona pressed the button causing the lights to flash brightly in Charles face
"Let's go." Said Spencer once they were sure Charles was blinded
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Emily said as they all ran for the exit
"Let's go, let's go, let's go. Go, go!" Shouted Spencer, running down the hall, though she stopped short and looked in the direction of the vault.
Looking back and forth between the exit and the vault, Spencer turned back and ran to the vault needing to know what was inside.
*With Naruto*
'Son of a bitch!' Naruto cursed, covering his eyes.
He knew that was going to happen, but damn if it didn't sting!
Blinking a couple times until the spots faded, Naruto looked in the direction they ran off in sighing.
'Great, now I'll have to punish them otherwise Charlotte will throw a fit.' Naruto thought while he didn't really care what Charlotte wanted, there was no stopping her from selling him out and then doing something even worse.
Suddenly, an alarm went off on his phone making his eyes widen.
Someone was in his vault!
*With Spencer*
Opening the door, Spencer looked around the vault, unable to see much from the lack of light. Rubbing her arms gently Spencer saw the lights whirring to life illuminating the vault.
'What is this stuff?' Spencer thought, not seeing what she expected from A/Charles.
There were pictures, toys, and other such knick-knacks. She even saw a crib with a stuffed fox inside.
She also saw a projector with film inside it. Curious as to what it could be, Spencer turned it on as it began playing footage of two children, a boy and a girl, running around laughing and playing.
"If this is your vault, then these are the things you treasure the most." Spencer said to herself, looking at the screen intently.
She couldn't help but feel like she'd seen the girl before and the boy, while not as recognizable, Spencer felt like she should recognize him as well,
"Hey, you two come over here!"
Spencer watched as the two children ran over to the person holding the camera, revealing a beautiful woman with long bright red hair and violet eyes.
"Wave to the camera."
Both children smiled at waved at the camera.
"Oh good job, now give mommy a kiss and you can go back to playing."
The little boy leaned up and kissed his mother on the cheek making her laugh lightly, before kissing him on the head.
"Such a good boy now go on. Oh Aria, make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble. Okay, sweetie?"
"Yes Ms. Kushina!"
Spencer stared at the image in shock. That little girl is Aria! That's why she looked familiar. But if that's Aria, does that mean the boy is Charles?
"Is that you, Charles?" Spencer asked turning, around seeing him standing right behind her.
While she couldn't see his face, she knew he was definitely not happy.
"Spencer?" Mona called out, startling Spencer and making her look away seeing Mona walk in looking around the vault.
Looking back Spencer saw Charles was gone.
"This is not at all what I thought it would be. A has a soul." Said Mona, grabbing a picture of the boy and the younger Aria.
"Spencer! Spencer, where are you?" Someone called out.
Spencer breathed heavily still in shock at what she just learned.
*With Naruto*
'Damn it! She wasn't supposed to go in there, nobody is supposed to go in there!' Naruto thought in anger.
Grabbing his phone again, Naruto frowned when he saw the monitors for the dollhouse were found, pressing a button Naruto wirelessly wiped the hard drives making it so they can't be traced back here.
Calming himself down, Naruto returned to the control room seeing the girls made it outside, but saw they were still trapped.
*With the girls*
Pushing the doors open the girls were relieved to finally be back outside, only to find the area fenced in with lights.
"We're still trapped." Said Hanna.
"We can climb it. Let's go." Emily said, eager to get away from here.
"Stop!" Shouted Spencer in fear, seeing the fence was electrocuted.
Stopping short of touching the fence the girls backed away, just as music started playing over the PA.
"There's no way out." Said Mona helplessly.
"I-I'm not going back down there." Aria stated, both in fear of what will be waiting for them and of who's behind the mask.
Suddenly the doors closed themselves and locked, trapping the girls outside.
"You may be a dude but you're still a bitch." Said Hanna looking at the camera.
As if in response the lights and music turned off, drowning them in darkness.
"You guys, in the vault, I was so close to Charles I could feel his breath." Spencer said lowly.
"Was there anything about him that you recognized? A smell?" Asked Mona.
"She's not Jenna." Emily said in response, as Spencer concentrated.
She felt there was something familiar about him, she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"I don't know, I can't pinpoint it. But there was something that was really familiar." Said Spencer.
"You mean like the way he moved?" Aria asked, Spencer shaking her head.
"No, it was…" Said Spencer walking towards the camera.
"Like when you meet a pen-pal or like a cousin or somebody that you knew when you were really little." Spencer said.
"So you're saying you think you know Charles a little but you feel like you know him a lot?" Asked Hanna.
"I can't explain, it was just… it was just a feeling." Spencer said, leaving out the video she saw along with something else she felt.
After seeing the vault, Spencer felt like the person running the dollhouse was someone else. She still felt like there was someone named Charles, but he wasn't running the dollhouse, someone else was.
'I know I've seen him somewhere and his mother, they looked familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.' Spencer thought suddenly pulled from her thoughts when thunder sounded.
"It's gonna get cold out here tonight." Said Emily, rubbing her arms.
"Where do you think we are?" Mona asked, looking around.
"We don't… we don't know how long we were out before we got here, so…" Said Aria, knowing they could be anywhere by now.
"We could be in the Amazon right now." Hanna said, throwing her arms out.
"No, we're in the northern hemisphere. That's the waning moon." Said Spencer.
"I was saying that facetiously." Hanna said,
"Wow, that's an eleven letter word, Hanna." Said Mona sarcastically before jumping when lightning flashed.
"This fence is like a giant lightning rod." Emily said, nearly freaking out.
"You gonna let us fry out?" Demanded Hanna, with more lightning going off as if in response.
Huddling together for when it started raining, the girls hoped they won't have to stay out here long.
Though after a while of no rain they looked in confusion, they could hear rain fall but couldn't see it.
"Uh guys, what the hell is that?" Hanna asked, as they all saw something above them and they could see rain.
"It's a holographic ceiling, they're used to hide secure facilities. Basically, if someone tried seeing this place from an elevated location they'd only see whatever the ceiling showed them but we can still everything on the outside. It also keeps out things like rain, snow, and hail." Aria explained, getting surprised looks from her friends.
"What?" Asked Aria
"Aria, how do you know that?" Spencer asked slowly, even she didn't know what that is.
"I learned about it when I was kid." Replied Aria.
"Alright well then if it's up, does that mean A or Charles put it up? And if so how and why?" Emily said.
"Let's not think about it. A alone is bad enough. Let's think what they could do if they have enough power to set up something like that." Said Spencer, seeing how big the ceiling is knowing it'd take a lot of money and manpower to set up something like that.
*Next Morning*
Waking up slowly, Aria groaned as she sat up from the hard ground. Though she woke up instantly when she saw something in the little area, something that definitely wasn't there before.
"Guys, guys, guys, wake up." Aria said, shaking her friends.
"What is it?" Asked Spencer, sitting up.
"I think A left us something." Said Aria, pointing to the cardboard box.
That got the girls attention looking at the box, backing away from it not knowing what's inside.
"What do you think it is?" Asked Emily.
"It's probably empty or a severed head." Hanna suggested morbidly.
The Liars looked at the box debating if they should open it or not.
"Well if no one else will…" Said Spencer approaching the box.
Stepping close to the box looking at it warily, as if it'll suddenly come to life and attack them, Spencer saw a note taped to the top of it. Quickly grabbing the note, Spencer unfolded it.
"Don't say I never I did anything for you -A." Spencer read, tossing the note aside and opening the box surprised at what was inside.
"What, what is it?" Asked Mona
Grabbing what was in the box they saw it was a blanket and a bottle water. Surprised at this, the other Liars looked in the box finding more blankets, water, and granola bars.
"What is this supposed to be? Is supposed to be an apology? Well, you can forget it bitch." Hanna said towards the camera.
"Hanna, how about let's not piss off the person that could have just left us here to starve, dehydrate, or freeze." Spencer said, not wanting Hanna to piss A off any more than they already did.
"How do we know he didn't poison that stuff?" Retorted Hanna.
"It's not poisoned." Aria cut in, having already opened a bottle and taken a drink.
"Aria! Why would do that?" Said Emily, worried that her friend would trust anything given to them by A.
"I doubt A or Charles or whoever they are would go through all the trouble of kidnapping us just to poison us." Said Aria.
'And if who I think is involved, they wouldn't hurt me.' Aria thought though really hoping they weren't involved.
*Timeskip-Five Days*
The girls were startled awake when they heard the doors creaking open and the PA system.
"Bonjour. Good morning. Buenos Dias. Please enter and follow the lighted pathway."
The girls traded looks unsure if they should go down there, while it could have been a lot worse out here, they still didn't want to go back down there.
"I mean, I-I don't want to stay up here but I'm also scared to death to go back down there." Said Aria.
"Please enter and follow the lighted pathway."
"You've been here the longest, Mona. What do we do?" Hanna asked.
"I honestly don't know, maybe this was our punishment. Maybe it's not mad at us anymore." Said Mona as ever since the others arrived things have gotten strange with Charles focus now shifting to Aria for some reason.
"Let's all stick together." Said Emily.
"Always." Spencer agreed as they joined arms before heading back down into the dollhouse.
They followed the lighted pathway until they suddenly went off along with all the lights.
"What the hell?" Hanna asked.
Unseen to the girls Naruto, wearing a gas mask and the standard A attire, stepped out behind them throwing down a cannister of knockout gas startling them all. Turning, they all screamed seeing A approaching them before he grabbed Mona forcing another gas mask over her face.
"Mona! Mona!"
"Mona!"
The girls coughed from the smoke before falling unconscious.
*Later*
The Liars were now lying on metal morgue tables with only sheets covering their bodies. Opening her eyes, Aria looked around seeing she was in a morgue with she and her friends lying on metal tables. Fearing the worst, Aria reached out for Hanna shaking her gently.
"Hanna." Whispered Aria, Hanna jerking awake followed by Emily and Spencer.
"Is this a hospital?" Asked Hanna.
"Looks more like a morgue." Emily replied, Spencer groaning as she sat up.
"It feels like someone ripping my brain out through my eye sockets." Said Spencer.
"What did A do to us?" Hanna questioned, Emily looking under her sheet and sighing in relief.
"Thank god. I thought for second A harvested our organ." Emily said.
"Emily, we'd be dead." Stated Hanna.
"You only need one kidney." Emily retorted, making Hanna and Aria pause for a moment before checking for any scars.
"Hey, guys, I think A wanted to make us look dead to send a message to our families." Said Spencer.
"What do you mean?" Aria asked.
"So they'd stop looking for us." Answered Emily.
Just then, they heard wheels squeaking and saw Mona, now dressed in a candy stripper outfit, pushing a cart with aspirin and juice.
"Aspirin? Juice?" Offered Mona.
"Mona, what the hell is going on? What happened to us?" Hanna asked, wanting to know what A did to them.
"I've asked you not to call me that ever again Hanna. That bitch is dead to me." Said Mona back to her Alison role.
"Okay, Ali… Ali, do you know what A did to us? We're scared." Aria said, hoping A didn't do anything to them while they were unconscious.
"I'm scared too." Replied Mona quietly.
"How long have we been here? How long were we unconscious?" Spencer asked, taking the aspirin and juice.
"Only a few hours." Mona answered to their minor relief.
"I've been in my room until now. That's all I know."
"Are you sure that's all you know?" Asked Emily.
Before Mona could reply the PA sounded.
"Please return to your rooms and find your surprises."
Mona looked at the camera that zeroed in on her.
"No." Said Mona.
"Please return to your rooms and find your surprises."
"I said, no." Mona repeated refusing to play these games anymore before three chimes went off.
"Three chimes means we have to go to our rooms or else…" Said Mona, now afraid pushing the cart out.
The Liars quickly followed keeping the sheets up to cover their decency.
"Ali. Ali. Ali, wait up. Please talk to us." Emily called out.
"Or else what?" Asked Aria, wanting to know what would happen, as Mona turned on them.
"It steals you in the night and puts you in the hole." Mona said.
"Please return to your rooms and find your surprises."
"I hate surprises." Muttered Spencer.
"Whatever the hole is I don't wanna go there." Hanna said.
The girls hesitated for a moment not sure what to do before going to their rooms, looking back to each other one last time before going in, Aria going in last.
That's when the screaming started.
*Three Weeks Later-With Naruto*
C: Alison is going to the Kissing Rock. I left a car to guide her to the dollhouse.
N: I'll be waiting.
Putting his phone down Naruto turned to the computer as he located where Alison. He found her with Caleb and…
"Fitzgerald." Naruto growled, his eyes briefly glowing red.
If there's someone he hated with his entire being, it was Ezra Fitzgerald. He was going to take a special kind of pleasure when he gets that sick bastard locked in a deep dark cell far away where he can't hurt Aria again.
Even if she hates him forever, he won't let her be hurt by this bastard ever again.
*Dollhouse*
"Please proceed to Ali's room and prepare for arrival."
The Liars doors were all unlocked as they hesitantly came out.
"Please proceed to Ali's room and prepare for arrival."
Aria and Spencer were the first to come out, both looking shaken from what they've gone through. Spencer noticed her friend, now having crimson streaks in her hair as opposed to the pink streaks she used to have.
Exiting their rooms slow, Spencer flinching when her door closed. Emily came out next looking shaken holding herself.
"I'd ask if you were okay…" Emily began.
"Let's not talk about what we just went through. At least not until we get out of here." Said Aria twirling one of the red streaks, a habit she developed to keep herself calm.
"I don't know if I could even find the words." Spencer said near tears
Hanna's door opened as she stepped out though unable to meet her friends eyes.
"We're all together again. Okay, it's gonna be okay." Emily said, reassuringly wrapping her in a hug.
"Please proceed to Ali's room and prepare for arrival."
"I don't wanna get in trouble again. Let's just go." Said Hanna as they went to Mona's room.
Upon opening the door, they found Mona gone and several boxes.
"Be careful." Aria said when Emily walked over to the boxes, not knowing what's in them.
Opening the boxes, they found it was all Alison's stuff.
"This is all Ali's stuff from her room at home." Said Emily, before Spencer grabbed a newspaper.
"You guys, Ali's murder conviction was overturned. They're letting her go." Spencer said in surprise.
"If that's even a real paper." Stated Hanna, from her place by the door.
"How did A get all this stuff?" Emily asked no one in particular.
"You're seriously still asking how?" asked Aria, having eventually learned it didn't matter "how" it was "why".
"Yeah, Aria's right. Question down here is why." Spencer agreed.
"Did A force you guys to sign the welcome card for Ali?" Asked Hanna after a moment, making the three look at each other unsurely.
"Oh, my god. I think we're getting ready for Ali's arrival. The real Ali, not Mona." Emily said, realizing why A wanted them to set up her room.
"Oh, Ali, no." Said Spencer, reading more of the paper.
"What? What is it, Spencer?" Aria asked, leaning to read as well.
"'DiLaurentis was offered police protection but declined citing the need to heal privately with her family.'" Read Spencer.
"So, Ali's a sitting duck." Emily said in realization.
The girls looked up when they heard the camera whirring, Hanna quickly looking away and going over to the boxes.
"If A brings Ali here does that mean he won't need Mona anymore?" Asked Hanna, afraid for her best friend.
"So where is she?" Aria said
*Later*
"I can't believe Ali saved all this. This from the day we were at the lake." Hanna commented, flipping through a photo album while the others were setting everything up.
"Well, Ali was in rare form that day, remember. She insulted everyone we'd ever met." Added Spencer.
"We let her call Lucas, Hermie." Hanna said.
"We let her blind Jenna." Aria said, though she knew something Ali did that was worse.
"We are not the same people we were back then. Including Ali." Defended Emily.
'No, she's pretty much the same, only learning a little humility and being the victim for once.' Aria thought, not saying it out loud so as to not start anything.
The others didn't say anything, though Spencer noticed something on a toy boat, a C and D carved into the back. Looking up at the camera for a moment before looking back at the boat.
Aria meanwhile, sorted through the closet until she saw something carved into the back.
"Hey, Spence, can you come help me with this?" asked Aria
"What? Help you with what?" Spencer asked, quickly hiding the boat.
"Uh, the rod's just a little bit loose." Aria said, quickly hoping Spencer would realize what she meant.
"I don't know. Hanna, can you please do it?" Asked Spencer.
"She's busy." Said Aria, Spencer, looking up now realizing what Aria meant and went over to the closet.
"What?" Spencer asked, looking seeing a message carved into the back.
He's going to kill me -M
"You see what I mean?" Questioned Aria.
"Oh, yeah, I see…" Spencer replied, knowing they had to get out of here.
*Later*
Aria, Spencer, and Emily all entered Hanna's room seeing her looking at a newspaper.
"You got a box too." Emily stated.
"A is making this house our home." Said Aria, holding her old pig toy.
"You guys, Charles took our stuff before he took us. I thought that I lost this ages ago." Spencer said, holding her bracelet.
"A planned on bringing us here the whole time. To live like his dolls." Said Emily, feeling sick at the thought.
"This articles about our families. All of them." Hanna said, getting up and handing them the paper.
"They're barely hanging on to hope." Said Hanna hopelessly.
"I don't wanna hear that. Like you said that's probably not even real." Emily said.
"Well, real or not… they don't know where we are. They don't even know if we're alive. Can you just imagine what they're going through?" Said Aria, worried about her family and how they are right now.
"It plays in my head on a loop. Day after day, night after night." Spencer said, Aria having enough and giving Spencer the paper and rounding on the camera.
"I will kill you for what you're doing to our families! I don't care who you are, do you hear me?!" Said Aria, as Emily and Spencer held her back.
"Aria, stop. Calm down." Spencer said.
Though unnoticed to everyone, one of the lamp's flickered for a moment.
Aria glared at the camera for a moment, hoping A or Charles or whoever the hell it is was watching.
"Not knowing if we're okay has made my mom physically sick. They took her to the hospital." Hanna choked near tears.
"Hanna…" Aria began not sure what to say glaring at the camera again.
"Hanna…" Said Spencer looking at the camera before her eye caught something.
"Let's just all help Hanna unpack. Hanna I'm gonna help you unpack. We're gonna find Mona and we're gonna get out of here tonight." Spencer whispered.
"How?" Asked Emily, Spencer pausing for a moment before going back over to the box.
"Did you guys know, um, I won an Etch A Sketch contest when I was in the third grade?" Spencer said offhandedly.
"Of course, you did." Replied Aria, knowing what Spencer meant.
"I can draw some really, really pretty pictures. The generator still shuts down with the switch-over." Spencer whispered.
"Yeah, I heard it too but I was too scared to leave my room." Responded Emily, as Spencer finished her drawing.
"See?" Spencer asked, showing them what she wrote.
Charles is a DiLaurentis
*Later*
Sitting in her closet, Hanna stared sadly at the picture of her and her mom, before she heard the generator go off and her door open showing Spencer.
"Hanna, let's go." Said Spencer as they met Aria and Emily and began speed walking to the game room.
"'Chandelier's rituals. Sister launched lair. A ruler's list chained.' They're all anagrams." Said Spencer.
"For Charles DiLaurentis."
"Some of those toys in Ali's room were hers but some of them were his." Spencer continued.
"I feel like they grew up together." Said Aria.
"If I'm right, everything that matters most to Charles is in this vault or whoever the hell has been watching us." Said Spencer.
"Wait what do you mean, isn't Charles watching us?" Asked Emily.
"Honestly? I don't think so. I think this is someone else working with Charles. But either way, if we get in, we can use what's inside to bargain our way out." Said Spencer.
"But Mona said we won't make it to the vault before the power comes on." Emily reminded.
"Okay, if I'm right, this is as far as we need to go. I counted the steps to the vault from the prom room." Said Spencer entering the room
"Of course, you did." Aria said not really surprised.
"It's 84. And that's just one hallway over. Coming back this way, it's 81 steps. The vault is on the other side of this wall." Said Spencer, moving stuff out of the way to get a closer look.
"Yeah, but how does that help us? We can't bust through there." Said Emily.
"Charles disappeared like Houdini when Mona came into the room. So there's gotta be like a secret passage way or like a trapdoor or something.'" Said Spencer, stubbornly banging on the wall trying to find something that'd show secret passage
"Wait, do you guys hear that? I think the generator is coming back on." Said Hanna, just as the siren began blaring.
"He knows that we're out." Stated Aria.
"Just help me move it. Come on!" Spencer said, refusing to give up now.
The girls tried moving the bunk beds until Emily saw something behind the cabinet. Going over to it she saw there was a vent.
"There's something behind this. Come on, there could be like a passageway or something." Said Emily as she and Spencer pushed the cabinet aside.
With some effort, she managed to pull the grate off causing the siren to stop.
"Come on!" Emily said crawling through the vent
"Go." Said Spencer going next, as Aria looked at the camera
'I swear it better not be you.' Aria thought, crawling in.
Emily kicked the grate off and entered the vault looking around as the others came through.
"A does have a soul." Emily commented, Aria looking around in muted shock.
'Oh my god.' Aria thought covering her mouth.
Spencer went to the projector and turned it on playing the same clip as before.
"Hey, you two come over here!"
"Wave to the camera."
"Oh good job, now give mommy a kiss and you can go back to playing."
"Such a good boy now go on. Oh Aria make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble okay sweetie."
"Yes Ms. Kushina!"
Emily and Hanna looked at Aria in shock, seeing her look at the screen in sadness.
*With Naruto*
Naruto looked at the monitor showing the video in sadness, grabbing a necklace he'd never taken off.
'Mom.' Thought Naruto sadly.
*Vault*
Looking at her friends, Spencer looked up at the camera.
"Game on, Charles." Spencer said.
Going back to the projector, Spencer prepared to grab it only to be stopped.
"No don't!" Aria said stopping Spencer, much to her friends surprise.
"Aria, what are you doing? This is the only way to get Mona back!" Spencer said.
"Just don't okay. Look we're all mad okay, I'm mad, but just don't destroy anything. Let me try." Said Aria, getting disbelieving looks but Spencer looking at her intently.
"Fine, one chance then we're torching this place." Said Spencer, Aria nodding in thanks.
Looking up at the camera, Aria wasn't sure to be angry or sad.
"That's you isn't it. Watching us." Said Aria, knowing he was there.
"Look I don't care why or how this happened but give us Mona and let us go. Then maybe you and I can talk this out, right after I kick your sorry ass!" Aria said, much to her friends disbelief.
"Are you kidding me?! You wanna talk with this lunatic, after everything he's done!?" asked Hanna in anger and disbelief.
"Hanna just let me handle-"
"No! I'm done playing nice." Hanna said, grabbing the tape footage before Aria could try stopping her, destroying it.
Aria looked at the footage as it was destroyed in fear.
"You idiot, do you realize what you just did?" Aria demanded.
"Yeah, I'm taking A's soul." Retorted Hanna, throwing the burning footage into the crib.
Now panicking Aria looked around for something to put the fire out with, before grabbing the drapes hanging on the wall and ripping them down. Only to reveal a window with Naruto standing there wearing the black hoodie and face mask of the A-Team.
"Spencer, put the fire out." Said Aria throwing the drapes to Spencer.
"What no, give me those!" Hanna said trying to take the drapes from Spencer.
"Guys can you please stop and focus!" Emily said seeing the fire was starting to spread.
"Enough!" Shouted Aria, stopping Hanna and Spencer.
"Why are you trying to stop us after everything that bastard did to us?!" Demanded Hanna
"Because this is all he has left from his mother! How would you feel if someone destroyed everything you had from your mom? Now Spencer, put the fire out." Aria ordered before turning back to Naruto.
"That is you isn't it, Naruto?" asked Aria, saying his name for the first time in years.
Naruto didn't say anything as he looked between his former friend and his possessions being burned. He was snapped from his thoughts from Aria talking again.
"Naruto, please just let us out, give us Mona back." Aria said looking at him pleadingly, hoping some part of him still cared about her enough to listen.
Looking at her for moment, Naruto then reached out and pulled the fire alarm turning the sprinklers on.
"Let's go!" Spencer said seeing the door open
"Thank you." Said Aria, running out the room.
"Mona!"
"Mona!"
"Mona!"
"Mona, where are you? Can you hear us?"
The girls ran through the dollhouse opening doors looking for Mona, coughing from the smoke as Spencer hadn't managed to put out the fire before it could spread.
"Mona!"
"Mona!"
"Mona!"
"Mona!"
They soon found her in the hole, crying in relief that they found her and holding herself.
"Oh, my God. Help me, please." Mona pleaded.
"Hold on, hold on, hold on." Said Spencer, running to get some rope.
"Please get me out." Begged Mona
Once they managed to get Mona out, they ran for the exit climbing up the ladder. When they reached the top they all ran outside in relief, Hanna straight into Caleb's arms and Emily into Alison's.
Meanwhile, Aria breathed in deeply at the adrenaline finally wore off and the recent events that just happened came crashing into her.
Naruto was working with A/Charles. He held them prisoner for weeks. He did who knows what to Spencer, Emily, and Hanna, and he made their families believe they were dead.
She remembered the bright-eyed boy that always played with her, who cheered her up whenever she was sad, who made her laugh at his terrible jokes, and his mother who treated her like her own daughter. And what did she do when he was at his lowest point and needed someone to be there for him?
She spat in his face and left him alone.
'Is this supposed to be karma for what I did?' Aria thought numbly not even reacting when Ezra pulled her into a hug.
"Spencer?" Toby called out, seeing his girlfriend for the first time in three weeks.
"Toby. Oh, my god." Whispered Spencer, running into his arms and holding him tightly before kissing him.
Though as much as she'd like to enjoy the moment, she had to tell him what they've learned.
"We know who it is. We have a name." Spencer said, whether it was Charles or this Naruto guy, they had a name.
"It's Andrew, babe. And we're gonna get him." Toby swore.
"Hey, there's another girl down here." Said one of the officers, getting the Liars attention that there was someone else down there.
Looking they saw a girl, who Emily recognized as Sara Harvey.
"I met Sara's friends, remember. She lived in Courtland. She went missing around the same time Ali did." Said Emily.
"Has she been down there that whole time? Though I think the more important question is, Aria, who the hell is Naruto?" Demanded Hanna, still angry at Aris for stopping her from destroying the vault.
Aria gulped seeing all eyes were now on her, while not knowing what she was supposed to say or do.
Chapter End
