Emily's P.O.V
"Why was she here?" I asked eagerly. I was really unhappy to see Sara in that court room. I wanted answers. Straight away.

"Who knows. All we know is that Sara barged into the court room and the lawyer couldn't do anything to stop her make her statement," said Spencer.

"Spence, you recorded her statement right?" asked Hanna.

"Yeah, I did." Spencer took her phone out and pressed the play button on the recording. We heard Sara's statement all over again.

"It almost sounds rehearsed!" I exclaimed. I was getting really irritated now.

"It does...wait. She kept saying the word 'help'. Listen again." said Spencer, and then replayed the statement.

"Yeah. 'I need your help' and 'I can help you'." said Aria.

"What do you think she's trying to say? Is it some kind of message?" asked Hanna.

"It's not some kind of mystery investigation Han. It's probably nothing of importance." said Aria.

"No. I think Hanna may be on to something. There must've been a reason as to why she said that. But I just don't know what or why." said Spencer. I saw that Hanna smirked at Aria.

Hanna! I cupped my face with my hands. She would never change!

Spencer continued, showing off her brainiac-like thinking. "I don't know, but whatever it is-" Spencer got cut off.

"It can't be good?" blurted Hanna.

"Yes, and also, it may help us in some way. I think that Sara might possibly be on our side." said Spencer.

No, no, no! I thought to myself. I can't let that be true!

"So we need to find a way to talk to Sara?" asked Aria.

Thoughts flooded my head. How were they all cool with this. How were they okay with all of this?

"But how are we supposed to talk to her if she is in prison!" exclaimed Hanna.

"We'll have to work out a way to get her out. I think we'll need Mona....Hanna?" suggested Spencer.

"Huh, what?" asked Hanna sounding very stupid. She was lost in her own world. "Yup, yeah I'll talk to her."

We all nodded. "Han, you go talk to her and we'll work out the rest," said Aria, also sounding smart. I felt like I was the stupidest person out of the three. I hadn't said anything this whole time.

"Yup. I'm gonna go out now. See ya!" exclaimed Hanna, and then left us.

Soon, the three of us also left.

I went back home and I was greeted with the site of Beth's calm face.

"Hey Em, come inside. We have to discuss a few things,"

"Um...okay. I just need to go get changed."

"Be quick...we're in the living room."

I quickly went inside and went into my room. I went for my cupboard and grabbed a purple and white checkered collared shirt. As I put it on I realised that this was the same shirt Sara had worn. I immediately took it off and threw it onto the floor.

I quickly grabbed a tank top and went into the living room. I didn't want to keep them waiting.

Upon reaching the living room, I pulled out a chair and sat down. All of us were sitting around the table.

"So...what's going on?" I finally asked.

"Right. We wanted to talk to you about something." said Pam.

"Okay..." I was getting worried now.

"We wanted to talk to you about my wedding," said Beth.

I took a huge breath. It was such a relief to know that nothing was wrong. I relaxed my body from all the tension and leaned against the back of the seat.

"How do you feel about being one of my bridesmaids with Carol?"

"What! I mean, yes! I would be honoured!" I exclaimed with gratitude.

"So, now that that's sorted, we need to work out when we should go and try on the dresses." said Carolyn.

"Yeah...um...well, we can go now," I looked down at my watch. "It's only 5:30."

"Sounds like a plan then." said Carolyn.

"I've selected the dresses, just go to the address, Carol has it. Have a fitting and tell me what you think."

"Okay, let's go then. Bye mum!" I went up to Mum and kissed her on the cheek. Carolyn did the same.

We arrived at the shop and went inside. There were a variety of dresses arranged neatly on racks. Carlyon went to the registry and asked for our dresses.

I stood in amazement as I saw the two most beautiful dresses. They were a dark blue with short sleeves made of lace. First, Carolyn went inside the change room to try on the dress. After a few minutes, she came out looking amazing.

It was now my turn. I went inside the change room. I started taking off my tank top, when I heard Carolyn say that she was going to head out and grab a bite to eat.

I continued changing. I heard a slithering sound coming from behind me. I turned around and gasped as I saw a snake, staring right at me. I screamed as the snake started hovering near me.

I screamed again as I tried unlocking the door, but it was locked. I began banging at the door. The snake was getting closer and closer. I looked up trying to hide my tears, but then suddenly I felt a pang. A stinging sensation. I looked down and started crying as I saw the bite on my leg. I screamed again as I felt blood oozing out of my skin. The door finally opened and I ran out. There was Carolyn, holding a 'Big Belly Burger' bag. I ran towards her and she hugged me. I cried in her shoulder, I was still in shock.

Then I heard a beep. It was a text from an unknown number. I read the text.

You were lucky this time Emily. Next time it'll be your head!
