The Liars Diaries

The Secrets

"I'm going to need a moment." Aria says to everyone, walking away. Her heart is racing and she can't seem to breathe or think straight. In all of these years of running from A, she would've never expected that she had possessed anything type of magical power. It's too unreal.

She walks through the hallway and back to her hotel room. She puts her arm out on the wall, and leans over, gasping for air. She is in total shock, and disbelief.

"Aria." She hears Stefan's voice. She turns to look at him. Tears are welling in her eyes.

"This doesn't make any sense." She says, her voice cracking. "It isn't real..."

"I know," Stefan walks over to her and hugs her. She grabs his shirt tightly and cries.

"I'm so scared, Stefan."

"You don't have to be. I'm here. I'm here." He says, and she clutches him tighter.

Eventually they pull apart and Aria stares up at him, sniffing. "You told me one day will have to wait." She says quietly, still staring up at him, as they lock eye contact. She stares into his dark eyes, as he stares into hers. Her heart is racing.

He touches her cheek and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Maybe there's no such thing as one day. Maybe we only ever have today."

Aria looks up at him, staring hard. And for a second, her eyes drop to his lips. And it only took that one second for her to decide what to do next.

"There's no sense in resisting this." She says, breathlessly.

She jumps up, on her tippy toes, and kisses Stefan. He kisses her back and she wraps her arms around him.

She pulls him by the shirt and backs herself up against the wall. She stands on her tippy toes again and kisses him harder. They both smile and laugh into the kiss. She runs her hands through his hair and he pulls her in from the waist. He lifts her up and presses her against the wall, kissing her still, lost in the moment.

They pull apart for a second and look at each other. They go back into the kiss and continue to move in sync with one another.

Hearts beating fast, their minds lost in the moment.

Emily glances over at Bonnie. "So you're really a witch?" She asks her carefully.

Bonnie nods. "I know it's a lot to take in."

Emily smiles lightly at her. She wonders if Bonnie could possibly be telling the truth. "Is it okay if you could do me a favor?"

Bonnie nods. "Depends on the favor. But it should be okay."

Emily moves to sit down next to her. "Could you do a tracking spell? To see if one of my friends is safe?"

"Yes, I can do that." Bonnie says. "But I'm gonna need something of hers."

Emily looks down at her wrist. "She gave me this bracelet. Will this work?"

Bonnie purses her lips. "I'm not sure, but I can try it." She says, holding the bracelet. Bonnie closes her eyes and starts to concentrate. After a moment, she opens her eyes. "I'm sorry, Emily, I didn't see anything."

"Are you even a witch?" Emily asks, getting frustrated. "The thing you did... Was that just a candle trick that anyone can do? Are you trying to mess with us?"

Bonnie sighs. "Here. Take my hand." She says. Emily slowly grabs her hand while staring at Bonnie. "Now close your eyes." Emily closes her eyes. After a few moments, Emily gets the strongest feeling and tingling sensation in her hand.
