Quinn screamed. Emily fell against the wall to support herself, because her legs felt like jelly. Savanna puts her hands in her hair and rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. Haley screamed and felt a tingle run down her spine. They were scared for one; they were not just expecting to fall down a random hole in the ground, and two they had just been reunited with Maggie, their old best friend who had supposedly been "dead" 

"Guys! You have to listen to me, I promise I'm not A. I know you might be scared and suspicious but please believe me, I swear I'm going to tell you everything!" Maggie, their old best friend who had supposedly been "dead" said to them as she slowly eased towards them.

Quinn shook her head. "This can't be happening."

Savanna took Quinn's arm and sat down next to her while Emily sat on the wall. Haley sat across the room from all the girls, because she had not been as close to the girls recently. 

Haley shook her head and swallowed. "Guys, give a chance." Quinn shook her head.

"She's been dead for three years, and comes back. Do you honestly expect us to be okay with that?"

Maggie shook her head. "I know guys, just give me some time to explain!"

Emily sighed. "It's not like we have anything to do"

Savanna studied Maggie. She was so different from three years ago. She was still obviously beautiful, but she look starved and tired. Her hair was darker then it had been and she was wearing a ratty skirt, that had little bow on the front and a pink crop top that looked 3 sizes too small for her. "How long have you been down here?" she asked.

"Two years, now will you let me explain?" Maggie responded.

Savanna nodded and looked around the room. It was made out of stone and it had surprisingly nice bed. Haley shivered and examined the pool of water they had just fallen into. She was still wet and scared, but was willing to give Maggie a chance. 

"It all started the night I went missing. You wouldn't understand why I went missing." Maggie said apologetically.

"No, tell us we deserve the answers!" Quinn replied. 

Maggie nodded. "Fine, but I can't tell you here. With you know, A watching."

Haley looked at her frustrated. She was still shocked but now, she was angry at Maggie for never coming back for them or telling them where she was. She looked around at the other girls for a moment and realized how much she had missed them. She looked at the way they were so close together like they were meant to be friends, while Haley sat on the other side of the room. "Well continue on.."

Maggie smiled at Haley."Wow, you've..grown so much Haley" 

Haley felt warm on the inside and almost felt like it was back to normal. But it wasn't. 

"Just get on with the story!" Quinn said "We deserve some answers!".

"Yeah about that. Well so when I went missing, someone had attacked me that night. I don't know who though. It was someone in a hooded figure. They grabbed my hair and I fought back, but the person was too strong. They dragged me out to their car, I was knocked out and they put me in the backseat. From then we drove for hours until I woke up. We were still in the car in the middle of a forest-I think it was this one. I attacked the driver and the car crashed, and then we crashed in a tree. The driver was knocked out, so I took my chances and ran for miles. Until I arrived at Diamond Springs. From then on I went off the grid. I was too scared to go back, too scared that people would judge me. It was a perfect excuse to run away...I couldn't waste it." Maggie took a moment to look around at them for any reactions but the girls just stared back at her. "I survived going off the grid for 8 months until A found where I was staying and kidnapped me. From then on was a blur...and I somehow ended up here."

Quinn, Haley, Savanna, and Emily looked at her astonished.

"Why did A want you out of all the people?" Emily demanded. 

Maggie looked at her for a moment sadly. "That's what I don't know. Why me out of all people?"

Emily thought about all the people she had bullied and how many people could be A. 

Suddenly a red siren went of in the room and a microphone went off with a robotic voice saying, "Report to the cafeteria..for your next assignment"
