I think animals are pretty.

The sight of this bloody pig though, that sight has me looking away and gagging.

Is that real?

"Where's Mona?" Spencer suddenly asks.

I'm busy.

That's fucking awful. I've seen a lot of bad things but that might actually take the cake.

"This was all her. She set us up." Aria says.

I take a look around for Mona, she's not here. Great.

I'm so sick.

"Ok, let's go. Let's get out of here." Emily says and we rush back to her car.

I get to Emily's car when everyone stops and looks back. I turn to see Hannah heading towards the front of the car.

Oh for fuck sake.

Spencer calls her name a few times before we head over to her to see what she's doing.

Mona is in the front of the car, playing the footage thing.

"Guys, someone's coming." Aria tells us all.

"I can't get arrested again, I can't." I shiver. We weren't technically arrested last time, still. Those interrogation rooms make me nervous.

"Hurry up!" Emily rushes Mona and Hannah.

The four of us head back to Emily's car.

Emily drives round to the muddy car and both Mona and Hannah jump in.

We head to Spencer's house. There's no parents there.

All of us are doing different things.

Spencer is anxiously watching the news, Aria is looking out the windows, Hannah is watching Spencer, Emily is stood nervously at the counter, Mona is watching us all.

I'm leaning against the island swirling my finger around the inside of my glass of water.

"There's a report on the lodge but nothing about Wilden's car." Spencer tells us.

"Well, I guess the fire trumps a dead pig." Hannah says.

"You can stop staring out the window, Aria. The cops aren't coming to arrest us." Mona speaks up.

"I'm supposed to feel safe just because you say it's all okay now? After everything you've put us through?" Aria questions. She's turned from the window and looking directly at Mona with the scary glare.

"Do you think we'd be sitting here if anyone saw us?" Mona asks.

"Want to know what I think? I think you're lucky that we're not beating the crap out of you." Emily taunts.

"And I believe you could, Emily. You really were the weakest link. But look how strong I made you. You should be thanking me." What the fuck. Who does she think she is saying that shit.

"Okay, that's it." Emily stalks towards her.

Mona moves out of her way and Aria stops her.

"Em! You know we all want to take a turn." Aria says.

"But we won't." Hannah says.

"Speak for yourself, I'm not making any promises." I bite.

"You like games, right Mona?" Spencer asks. "So let's play one called the third degree." Spencer declares.

"How did you get the car out of the lake?" Hannah asks.

"I didn't." Lies. "I put the car in Hannah's garage, that's the last time I saw it." She declares. I look around to see if we think she's telling the truth.
