Pretty Little Liars

Aria POV

I don't know how long I've been here, but I'm starting to lose hope. Maybe no one is coming for us.

It feels like I'm freakin suffocating in this hell hole. A made sure to do it right. Make sure it feels like we're dying.

At least that's how it feels to me. Why? Why does A hate us so much? Just because we know Alison?

"Choose," the aggravating voice said.

I look at the pictures with the buttons and start to cry. I can't, I can't choose between my friends.

"Choose," it repeated.

"No, no! You can't make me do this!" I screamed not taking my eyes off the pictures.

"Choose or they all will endure it."

"What? No!"

It started counting down from 10 and I knew I had to make a decision. I quickly pull a random lever and I heard her scream.

I cried harder while hearing those screams. No, no, no. Why? Why is this happening to us?

"Go back to your room," the voice said.

I ran out of there and into my 'room'. I sat on the floor facing the wall crying so hard.

Why did I have to choose that? Why are we getting put through this torture?! It's not like we did anything to A. But we never stopped Ali from being a bitch to all those people.

The next day-or at least I think it's the next day- I wake up in my 'bed'. I never went on it, so how did I end up here?

"Time for breakfast," the voice said as food slid into my room. "Eat up."

I refused to eat it. I mean I'm hungry as freakin hell, but I can't eat it. A made it. I'm eating anything A makes.

My door unlocked and I rushed to it, opening it quickly. I see Emily and rush to her giving her a giant hug.

"Aria, are you okay?" She asked as we pulled away.

"No. Are you?"

"No."

"Where are Hanna and Spencer?" I asked. "They were here the last time we were let out."

"Maybe A is just doing it two at a time now. Hanna?!" She called.

"Spencer?!"

"Aria-"

"Emily-"

I rushed to Spencer's door, as Emily rushed to Hanna's and we tried to open them but they wouldn't budge.

"It's not gonna move. S-"

"Please follow the lighted pathway," the voice said interrupting me.

"Guys, just do as he says. We can't let anybody get hurt. Not anymore," Spencer said through her door.

"Come on, Aria. We do it together, okay?" Emily asked.

"Yeah. Let's do it."

We linked our arms and hesitantly walked down the hall. Emily looks so brave, while I'm shaking.

We reach a door and when we open it, we scream. How could this happen? I shouldn't have let this happen.

It was Mike, being tortured and I cried.

"Mike!" I yelled and tried to get to him, but Emily stopped me. "No, no! I have to go help him."

"Aria, it's a video. It's probably fake," she said pulling me into a hug.

When we look back at the screen, it shows Mike laughing and walking away.

"It was last Halloween remember?"

"Yeah, yeah," I said calming down.

As we look at the screen again, it read.

Oh girls, this is just the beginning. The worst has yet to come.
