A year had passed since Alison DiLaurentis disappeared off the face of the earth, and the five ex-friends of the powerful, vindictive girl were entering their junior year of high school.
Although it was strange to be entering another year...

Ivy sat in the police station, in a interrogation room, next to Spencer. Hanna and Aria on the other side of Spencer. None of them said a word. Each of them, playing with their hands or jewellery. The four girls were covered from head-to-toe in dirt and only one single light was hanging above them, making it dull and dark in the small room.
The door of the room suddenly opened. Ivy looked up to see Darren Wilden, with a smirk on his face. "Did you miss me?" He leant on the table, looking directly at them. "This doesn't just look bad, it is bad. Homicide is a capital offence in the state of Pennsylvania and you girls are going down."

12 hours earlier:
The girls were outside Dr Sullivan's house. They kept ringing her doorbell and knocking on her door, but no answer. Hanna and Ivy were peaking in her windows, no sign of her. "Dr Sullivan, are you home?" Hanna called.
Emily was trying to call her but kept getting her voicemail. "I got the same voicemail." Aria said. "Yeah, she probably sent it to all of her clients."
"She's not here." Spencer picked up the newspapers that were lying on her porch. "Looks like she didn't come home last night either. She hasn't checked her mail or picked up her papers."
Emily took a sharp breath. "Maybe we should call the police." She suggested.
"And say what to officer Garrett when he starts asking us questions?"
"Hanna's right. Garrett, Jenna, Ian, Jason - they're all connected, we can't trust any of them." Ivy refrained from what she was going to say, she couldn't start an argument right now, Dr Sullivan was missing. "Look, the last time somebody thought she knew who 'A' was, she got hit by a car."
"Wait, no, I got hit by a car, Hanna just hit her head." Ivy emphasised. Spencer gave her a look. "Ok, so what do we do?" Emily asked.
"We go into terror alert red and hope that our phones don't ring." Emily's phone started to ring. "That did not just happen!"
"It's Maya." Ivy let out a breath of relief.

10 hours earlier:
"I walked Toby outside and when I came back inside, it was here." Spencer had called the girls over after finding a box in her living room with 'OPEN OR SHE DIES.' on the lid.
"Here? Like in the middle of your kitchen, or here on your porch and you brought it inside?" Aria asked. "I haven't touched it." Spencer replied.
Ivy looked up from the box as Hanna started to speak, "Guys, I never told you this, but...Dr Sullivan really helped me." She admitted. "Yeah, that was the reason that we trusted her. She helped us all." Ivy sighed.
