Sparia one-shots

Protect you

The girls squirmed frantically against the tight ropes around their wrists as they tried to get to Lily. Grace was lying securely in a travel crib a few feet away from her mothers. However Lily was being roughly cradled by no other than Noel Kahn. "You all wanted me dead and you ruined our perfect plans so now your precious daughter here will pay the price, but don't worry I'm not totally evil so I am letting your other kid live."

"You're evil" Spencer spat as she fought strongly against the knots and trying with all of her might to not react when one of the knots comes loose enough for her to reach into her pocket and clasp her phone enough to hit her speed dial to the only person who could help them now. The only girl that hasn't been with the girls since she betrayed them for Ezra.

Spencer tried to angle the speaker towards Noel as be talks to give Aria good shot at hearing what he is saying if she did even pick up the call. "You really are a great swimmer Emily. But I'm thinking that it like be too good of an opportunity to have Lily here die because she can't swim. The perfect irony. So I'm going to take her out on my speed boat here and drop her in before leaving you all here to die. That sounds fantastic to me."

Noel then stood up before walking briskly to the edge of the water filled quarry. Once her arrived he stood still for a few moments simply staring at the high cliffs that surround the quarry making it over an hour's hike to get to the girls from the road. His plan really was flawless. He quickly lay the baby on the seat of the boat before testing out the motor to find he had run out of fuel and would have to hike back 15 minutes t get some from a small boat shack. He swore quietly but didn't mind too much as it would only prolong the girls' suffering anyway.

Aria was beginning to unpack her belongings in her new appartment as she had just broken up with Ezra for good. She no longer wanted anything to do with him since she had lost her friends because of him and she was willing to take all of the necessary steps to get them to forgive her.

She was rapidly losing faith in her ever making things right with her friends and it burned into her heart, especially when she thought of one particular friend that she had never thought she would lose. The last person Aria had ever wanted to betray but she hadn't had a choice. Ezra's life was at stake because of her and she wouldn't have been able to live with herself if she left him at his time of need after he had done so much for her.

She let herself fall backwards into her new couch that would double Asher bed for a few months until she could afford a bigger apartment that would actually fit a proper bed in. She began to let her eyes close for a second before she was interrupted by a shrill ringing sound. She glanced over to her phone with no care, figuring it would be Ezra but her heart leapt into her mouth she she saw Spencer's name flash across the screen. She snatched up her phone and slammed it against the side of her head excitedly but before she even had the the chance to say anything she heard Noel's distant voice and what he said turned her blood cold. She listened intently as she frantically searched for her car keys and after a few minutes she finally heard her friends' voices.

"Aria, I don't know if you can hear this but we are at the quarry. We need your help! This is an s.o.s. And if you don't come then just know that we are sorry for shutting you out and we forgive you. We love you." Tears sprung to her eyes as she faced towards her car, now having found her keys and she slammed her foot onto the gas.

The girls didn't say anything to each other after that phonecall and just settled for sobbing violently as they tried to get free. Emily leaned heavily into Alison and Hanna into Spencer seeking comfort in their most trusted friends.

Eventually Noel came back smirking as he held up the fuel triamphantly and made a show of filling the tank and pushing the boat onto the water. The faint sound of a car could be heard in the distance and Noel chuckled darkly.
"No-one can save her now bitches" He started the engine and Lily began to wail at the unexpected sound. Noel began to direct the boat out and couldn't help but smile softly as he got closer to his destination.

A car flew around a sharp corner almost sliding off the cliff edge as it sped further into the quarry and knuckles gripped onto the wheel until they were white as the brakes were slammed on suddenly. The door was haphazardly tossed open and a figure emerged from the vehicle.

All of the girls stared up at Aria as she took in what was happening. They watched as she spotted Lily and tore off her jacket. Noel was so caught up in what he was doing that he never looked up to the girl that was on the cliffs edge a hundred feet up. He found the perfect spot and tossed the child into the freezing water before zooming away.

Aria knew she had to act quickly so she didn't hesitate to launch herself off the ledge and focused on Lily as she plunged into the icy water.

The girls sat in shock as they watched Aria. The splash that was created showed the impact of her landing and created a great deal of worry but all they could think about was Lily. Aria's head emerged a few seconds later and they could tell that she was injured but she swam quicker than they had ever seen to the child and grabbed her before beginning to make her way over to them.

The minutes felt like hours as Aria swam as fast as she could. The child needed help, the water was freezing. Eventually she dragged them both to shore and coughed violently after she set Lily down on Emily's lap, blood rushing out of her mouth as she did so. She untied her friends as quickly as she could and stood back nursing her battered ribs as they checked on Lily. Spencer then turned her attention onto her shorter friend.

"Thank you for coming even after we blocked you out." She said weakly.
"I couldn't not. I love you." Spencer didn't even consider that Aria was talking to all of them and grabbed her chin as she pushed their lips together roughly. Aria didn't fight back but did wince as her ribs moved slightly.
"We have to get you to a hospital. You took quite the fall there." Spencer realized in a panic and the other girls seemed to finally register what had happened. Alison and Emily rushed forward and embraced her as they thanked her endlessly.

"I called the cops on the way here. They're sending a helicopter and it'll be here soon" Aria informed her girls as she smiled softly at having them back and gripped onto Spencer's hand knowing there was another adventure to come.
