Sienna Rose Sinclair was a girl in the wrong place at the wrong time. She knew too much. She had too many secrets.
September 1, 2009. The day she disappeared alongside Alison DiLaurentis. The secrets are unwinding one by one. After all, two can onl...

IX. New York and Labor Day Weekend

"Please follow the lighted pathway."
"Please follow the lighted pathway."
"Please follow the lighted pathway."
It is unusual for Sienna to fear things. She had been through enough bombshells in her adolescence that she grew quite resistant to circumstances. She was resilient, which only made it more difficult for her to fear and accept defeat. The only things that could truly scare Sienna were dreams, ghosts, and danger to her loved ones.
She knows she has to play things carefully from now on. She was misguided before. She should have let A break her. The price is too high to pay when it's her loved ones that have to pay it.
It had been such a short time since Sienna had been debating her return to Rosewood, Pennsylvania. The fears she had then seem inconsequential when compared to the fears she faced now. If only she had faced the consequences of Labor Day weekend in 2009– maybe then she would be free of this torment.
There's no hesitation as Sienna follows down the corridor. Hannah, Spencer, Emily, Aria, and Alison are worth more than anything— even if they don't trust her anymore. Sienna will still protect them in anyway. It's who she is. She'd never do anything to put them in harm's way. So, if she has to play A's games, then so be it.
She will be the perfect doll for A to break.
The lighted pathway pauses in the middle. A new door set in its place, where a note rests in the center space, accompanied by a pile of fresh clothes.
Sienna takes a deep breath as her shaky hands find their way to the folded paper.
Let's play a new game. Remember where you were on Labor Day, and let's see if things end the same way.
The clothes on the floor make her hands shake, a wave of nausea immediately sending her body into a feeling that she might plummet at any moment. The articles are identical to what she wore on the night of her disappearance. A is going to make her relive it.
Sienna knows exactly where she was on Labor Day. This new game isn't that new at all. Every day that she visits the pseudo-room of her childhood home, Sienna is forced to relive the memories of her sister's death. She is forced to reflect upon her mistakes. Only now, the stakes are higher than ever before.
If only she had realized that before she walked through the dollhouse door.
