Sparia

Torture and searching

     Aria shivered in the corner of the room as Charles approached her with a hose.

Charles "Time for a bath. Take your clothes off."

Aria "No!"

Charles "Suit yourself."

     Charles sprayed the small girl in her face. He then pulled out an electric stick and stabbed her in the arm. She yelled out and cried as he repeated the process of spraying and stabbing her. He soon stopped and left the room. Aria shuddered from the cold and bruises formed on her skin.

Aria "Spence...Help me."

     Spencer opened her computer and looked at the map, searching for buildings in the area. Emily walked over to the brunette and placed a mug of coffee on her desk.

Emily "We'll find her Spence."

     The brunette continued to type away and printed maps surrounding the cabin. Hanna walked in with wrapped boxes and set them under the Hastings' fake tree.

Hanna "Merry Christmas Eve Eve!"

Alison "Hanna, there's no such thing as Christmas Eve Eve."

Hanna "Yes there is! Yesterday was Christmas Eve Eve Eve! And tomorrow is Christmas Eve!"

     Alison shook her head and laughed. Hanna could be such a goof sometimes.

Spencer "There's some buildings a few miles away from here...and a ghost town even more miles away."

     Emily sighed and grabbed the computer away, closing it.

Spencer "What are you doing?!"

Emily "You need to stop stressing Spence, it won't help."

Spencer "My pregnant girlfriend is out there! Why are you all so calm about this! She's your friend, why aren't you upset!"

Alison "We are upset Spencer! We're just trying to be strong for you!"

     Spencer looked at Emily Who now had tears in her eyes.

Emily "We love her as much as you do...but if we all fall apart then we'll never find her."

     The girls hugged and spent the rest of the night trying to find Aria while recalling old memories.
