"What kind of town throws a party in a graveyard" Hanna asked. "The same kind of town that makes these ridiculous outfits apparently" Ava said.

"Must be to honor their dead" Emily said. "Yeah, they can't do that without walking all over them" Aria said.

"Guys what if we see A before we find Alison" Emily asked. "There's five of us there's only one of him" Spencer said. "Um yeah but that him might be carrying a weapon" Aria said.

"Probably ready to strike at any minute" Ava said. "All we've got are these 20-pound hats" Aria said.

"Well, I can't run from the enemy this girdle is cutting off my air supply" Hanna said.

"It's a corset" Aria said. "It's torture" Hanna said. "People actually wore this crap" Hanna asked.

"I'm never complaining again about a sports bra" Hanna said. Aria then opened the gate as Hanna, Ava, and Spencer walked in with her. "Wait" Emily said getting their attention. "

"I can't do this" Emily said. "Emily, we have to get to Alison before A does, we can't back off" Spencer said.

"It's not just A that I'm scared of I don't know if I'm ready to see Alison" Emily said.

"Em we already have come on" Aria said taking her hand leading her. "It'll be okay" Ava told Emily who nodded.

>>>

"Man, people have been croaking in this town a long time" Hanna said. "It happens" Spencer said.

"What are those are those fingers" Aria asked. "No, their mushrooms" Ava said.

"Aria get a grip" Spencer said. "Hanna hey stay with us" Spencer said after realizing Hanna stopped. Hanna then went back to the girls as Aria's phone chimed.

"Wait hold on" Aria said and checked the caller ID.

"Wait it's Ezra he might be worried about me" Aria said. "Just don't tell him too much" Spencer said.

"And make it quick" Ava said. "Hey there" Aria said as soon as she answered the phone. "Hey, I've been trying to reach you where are you" Ezra asked.

"Uh look it's actually not a great time to talk I'm standing in a graveyard" Aria said. "You're what" Ezra said.

"I'm in Ravenswood but I'll call you later okay" Aria said. "Aria, you need to be careful" Ezra said.

"Yeah, I will I promise bye" Aria said and hung up. "Come on" Aria said as they made their way to the party.

>>>

"Why would Ali come to a party like this" Ava asked.

"Who knows maybe it had something to do with Mrs. GrunWald" Emily said. "You guys look, look right over there do you see him" Spencer asked.

"See who" Hanna asked. "Spence what are you talking about" Ava asked confused. "That dude standing by himself he's wearing that vintage uniform Hanna don't stare" Spencer said.

"Don't want me to look or not" Hanna asked. "Oh my god is that board shorts" Aria asked. "What do we do now" Emily asked.

"We go up there and ask the scumbag if he's A" Hanna said. "Are you nuts" Ava asked. "What it's crazy we've never even seen him before" Hanna said.

"Why would a total stranger be after us" Hanna asked. "Why would my bio mom be trying to kill me" Ava asked back.

"Who knows if he's a stranger to Alison" Spencer said. "Or Mona, or Jenna, or Melissa" Aria said.

"He's not alone anymore" Emily said. "You guys stay here I wanna hear what they're saying keep looking for Ali" Spencer said walking away. "Okay" Aria said. "Names" the elder man asked.

>>>

"If that's the creep who's been messing with Ali and the rest of us, we need answers" Aria said.

"Then we better go talk to her" Ava said.  "Come on" Ava said walking off.

>>>

"Did you hear that" Ava asked hearing leave crackling. "It's probably nothing" Aria said.

"Probably" Ava said not convinced. "Come on I got you it's okay" Aria said. Suddenly someone grabbed Aria's ankle and Ava and Aria screamed.

"Oh, okay it's just a girl" Ava said catching her breath. "Are you okay" Aria asked helping her.

"Oh, I think so" she said. "Were you pushed in there" Ava asked. "That guy that grabbed you inside did he push you in" Aria asked.

"No that was my cousin he's not the one who's behind this" she said.

"Leah what is it" A man asked coming over. "What happened to you" he asked.

"She fell I guess my friend and I were just helping her out" Aria said. "You fell" the man asked his cousin. "I told you it wasn't safe here" he said.

"Thanks again" Leah said to Ava and Aria. "Sure" Ava said and left with Aria.

>>>

"How could you lose all of them" Spencer asked Emily. "I told you I got jumped by Mrs GrunWald" Emily said then they heard a noise.

"What was that" Emily asked. "Hey" Aria said as she, Hanna, and Ava made their way to Spencer and Emily. "Hey where have you been" Emily asked.

"Well, I thought you guys were right behind me and Ava" Aria said. "I thought you were behind me" Emily said.

"Well, I was behind these two little girls who were freaking me out I still haven't seen their faces" Hanna said. "Geh thanks Han now I might have nightmares" Ava said.

"Can we please go back to the tent" Emily asked as they started following Spencer.

"You guys I don't think scary uniform is board shorts that's not his girlfriend that's his cousin" Aria said.

"Yeah, cousin or not there's something really weird going on around here even he said it wasn't safe here" Ava said. "Uh geh you think they're using headstones for barstools" Spencer said.

"Why were they wearing red coats" Hanna asked. "Who" Emily asked Hanna. "Those twins" Hanna said.

"Why do we care" Spencer asked. "We're here to find Alison remember" Spencer said. "Ali was the one who told us about that blonde twin who stabbed her sister" Hanna said.

"Okay Han, I love you, but can we not tell ghost stories while we're walking through a graveyard" Ava asked.

"Is that Ali" Emily asked seeing someone running past. 

They all followed her only to see she wasn't there. "Where did she go you saw her right" Aria asked.

"Yeah, we all did" Spencer said. "Well then where is she" Emily asked. "Where she is she's gone now" Ava said.

"Okay I don't get it we were what like ten seconds behind her" Hanna said. "How did A get her out of here without us seeing it" Aria asked. "I'm officially losing this flying saucer" Emily said.

"Since we're tossing hats take mine" Ava said giving Emily hers. Emily took it putting hot their hats down.

"Guys look" Spencer said getting their attention. "There's no leaves there" Spencer said. "Yeah" Hanna said, and they all pushed a wall seeing a hidden room.

"Scooby doo Diju vu just saying" Ava said as they all walked down the stairs to the room.

"Where does this even go" Emily asked. "Probably somewhere way scarier" Ava said, and they looked at her.

"What" Ava said.  Then the door suddenly shut. "Who did that" Emily asked running up the stairs trying to get it open only it wouldn't budge.

"Come on we'll find another way" Spencer said. "How" Hanna asked.

"This has got to lead somewhere" Spencer said. "Well hopefully it leads to your car Spence I want to go home" Hanna said. "Yeah Diddo" Ava said.

"Okay breathe we'll find another door" Spencer said and the girls followed Spencer. "Does anyone else have signal" Emily asked. "No, I have minus three bars" Hanna said.

"How hold is this place" Hanna asked. "I'm more focused on getting out of here then wondering how old it is" Ava said. "Where's that wind coming from" Aria asked.

"There must be an open door somewhere keep walking" Spencer said.

"What's going on" Aria asked. "Hold on" Spencer said. "Quick against the wall" Ava said as they got against the wall.

"Everyone, hold on to each other" Ava said and they all did. "What is that" Emily asked. 

"Whatever it is, it's strong enough to knock the lights" Ava said. After a moment the wind dialed down. "Hanna are you" Aria asked turning around only to not see Hanna.

"Where's Hanna" Spencer asked. "She was right behind you wasn't she" Emily asked.

"Hanna, Hanna" Spencer said as they started to look for Hanna. "Where did she go" Emily asked. "Hanna" Ava said.

>>>

"Hanna, can you hear me" Spencer asked. "Why did you let go of her" Emily asked.

"I didn't I held onto her the whole time" Aria said. "Until you grabbed a statue" Spencer said.

"Guys" Ava said. "Guys I didn't let go of her" Aria said. "Even if she let go why would she just leave like that" Emily asked. "She wouldn't" Ava said.

"What is that" Emily asked seeing the message on the wall. "A has the both of them doesn't he" Aria asked as Spencer took Hanna's hat.

"Come on" Spencer said as they continued to look for Hanna.

>>>

"Hanna" Spencer said. "A door in a crypt that leads to a tunnel that comes up inside a mansion" Aria said.

"What kind of zoning laws does this town have" Aria asked. "It could be from the prohibition" Emily said. "Maybe even the Underground Railroad" Ava said.

"That's just rusty water right" Emily asked as they saw something drop.

They then heard a scream. "They'll found out my friends know I'm here" Alison said. "Ali" Ava said as they went to the hallway. "Where did Spencer go" Aria asked.

>>>

"I told you I felt fresh air" Emily said. "Well, this is just creepy" Ava said. They all then looked out a window. "Do you remember climbing up any stairs" Emily asked.

"I'm lucky I remember how to breathe" Aria said. "We can climb down the trellis" Emily said.

"What and just leave them here" Aria said. "We can't leave without our friends" Ava said. "No and get help lots of help" Emily said as they stopped looking out the window.

"What are you going to tell people that a maniac has our dead friend who's really alive" Ava asked.

"Or maybe we could come up with something more believable" Aria said. "Like the fact that we're trapped in a haunted house" Ava said.

"Think of a really good lie on the way down" Emily said and they looked out the window again.

"Okay I could almost jump from here" Emily said before sticking their heads back inside. "Be careful" Aria said then suddenly they heard a scream.

"You can't keep me here Alison said when they heard the window crash.

>>>

"Spencer" Ava said as soon as they saw Spencer and went to her. "Spencer wake up" Aria said.

"Spencer" Emily said. "Oh my god" Aria said. Then suddenly Spencer woke up. "A's here" Spencer said. "It's okay you're safe" Emily said.

"Are you okay" Ava asked. "Where is he" Spencer asked then they heard a scream. "Ali" Ava said running off with Spencer, Emily, and Ava. "Help me" Alison yelled.

"Please he's going to kill me" she said.  "Help me please" she said but when they walked in a room, they realized it was a tape recorder.

Spencer then turned off the tape recorder. "You shouldn't be in here" GrunWald said at the doorway making her appearance known. "You found the tunnel" GrunWald said taking the tape.

"We followed Alison" Spencer said. "So, she was here" GrunWald said. "Is this" Aria started to ask when GrunWald interrupted.

"The house is my home it will never belong to me I'm merely its caretaker" GrunWald said.

"And this room it's your office" Emily asked. "A space with no distractions opens the lines of communication" GrunWald said. "So that was one of your sessions" Ava said.

"Six months ago, this tape was stolen" GrunWald said. "What is it" Emily asked seeing her expression. "What did you just see" Ava asked.

"It's not what I see it's what I feel one of you has been touched by the one Alison fears the most" GrunWald said.

>>>

"Could this night get any worse" Aria asked. "Don't say that because the next thing you know it gets worse" Ava said. "I'll get the spare" Spencer said.

"One of us knows how to change a tire right" Spencer asked. "And you're looking at me cause I'm gay" Emily said standing up. 

"No, you just happen to be the sporty one" Aria said. "I do t believe this" Spencer said not seeing the spare tire. "What" Ava said.

"They must have taken out the spare when Melissa and I got into that accident" Spencer said and Hanna came over. "Han where's Caleb" Ava asked.

"Uh he's taking care of a friend" Hanna said. "Alright let's just figure out what we have to do to get out of here because I don't want to spend another minute in this town" Aria said.

"Who is that" Hanna asked as they saw a car approaching. Ezra then got out of the car heading to the girls.

"Ezra" Aria said. "I've been calling but you didn't answer I was getting worried" Ezra said.

"Hey" Aria said going to him. "Flat tire" Ezra asked. "Yeah, and she doesn't have the spare" Hanna said. "Well, it's late why don't I give you guys a ride home" Ezra said.

"Sold" Hanna said getting in the car. "I'll do anything to get out of this town even ride with you" Ava said getting in the car with Emily.

"Well come on Spencer we'll just send someone for your car tomorrow okay" Aria said and Spencer closed the trunk before getting in the car with Aria and Ezra and Ezra then drove off.

>>>

Aria said goodbye to Ezra before heading to the girls while Ezra drove off. "Alison" Emily said. 

The girls then all followed her. They didn't see her until they looked straight ahead seeing a blonde with a red coat.

"Alison" Aria said. "Ali is that really you" Ava asked.

The blonde took her hood down before turning around revealing to be Alison shocking the girls.

"Ali" Ava said with tears in her eyes. "Did you miss me" Alison asked them. "It was you wasn't it in Ravenswood" Aria asked.

"Look I don't have much time it's still not safe for me to be here" Alison said. "Ali don't leave again" Emily said. "Look I wanna come home but you have to help me" Alison said.

"Why who are you afraid of" Spencer asked. "Remember what I told you at the hospital my sweet Ava" Alison said.

"That was really you" Ava asked. The girls heard a noise as they turned around seeing nothing as they turned back to Alison who gave a shy signal.

The girls turned around seeing Ezra. "Aria" Ezra said.

Aria then approached Ezra who gave her, her phone.

"You forgot your cell phone" Ezra said and Aria took it as she turned around along with Ava, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna only to no longer see Alison realizing she left.
