Chapter 34 - One Less

____________

"Fear doesn't shut you down.It wakes you up."

- Divergent, by Veronica Roth.

Aria

I open my eyes slowly.Then, I realize that my left hand is empty.I look to the ground under me, searching for it.No.It has to be here.In the middle of my third search, a shadow appears, moving towards me.

"Start praying for them to shut up and tell absolutely nothing to your mom." she said.Aria gasped at her next words, and you could tell the other was smirking.

"Or else, someone will get hurt." the woman said after closing the door behind her.

Fear consumed Aria.Would she hurt her?Or the ones she cared about?

Aria couldn't handle just the thought of her parents getting hurt.Or Mike, who always stood up for her.The girls, her best friends, her everything.Ezra, her world.

No.Together, they were her everything.Her parents were...her parents.The girls were her support.Ezra was her joy, the love of her life.How could she ever live without them?No way.

Spencer was who always helped Aria on studying, they always talked about their crushes and love lifes, and always were there for each other.Aria would miss Team Sparia.Hanna was the one you could tell everything about your parents and she wouldn't judge you.She was the fashionista, and would always find a way to make you laugh.Emily was kind in a way no one could be.If you needed a shoulder to cry on, there she was.If you needed help she would get out of her way to help you.Alison was someone who you had to be careful with, but she made you feel special and could light up the mood in a room with a word.They were all different, but, together...they were perfect.

Someday, Ella, Byron and Mike would accept the fact that she was gone forever - they would be happy again.The girls would be sad, they would lose their best friend, the tiny girl who was always there for them.Ezra would be devastated, Aria knew it.She knew by the sparkles that appeared in his eyes as soon as he saw her.By the way he treated her, with all the love of the world.She knew it because what they felt for each other was more than love - it was more powerful, something indescribable.But one day, eventually, he would move on with someone else.Ezra would never, not even in a billion years, forget Aria.What they had was special.Was the best thing that ever happened to both of them.Aria just hoped that whoever was that, made him happy.

The tears were rolling down her cheeks like a waterfall.All her confidence disappeared in a blink of an eye.Her stomach made noise - the unknown person hadn't feed her since she got there, which meant she hadn't eaten for 2 days -, but she didn't care.Anyways, she was going to die soon.Aria grabbed a piece of glass lost in the middle of the dust and held it with her.The last thing she thought about before closing her eyes and falling into the darkness was them.

I'll miss you.Never forget me.

I stay quiet, frozen, while she walks towards me.The person raises her fist and I -encolher- myself.Something shines in the dark.She laughs.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

I gasp as I see the sharp piece of glass in her hands.I move back, scared.That's it - goodbye life.

She throws the glass on the other side of the hayloft, cutting herself on the palm.Damn it!, I hear the whisper.

"Stay quiet or that glass will be down your throat very soon." she laughs slightly and kicks my legs.I hold the scream, and my left leg has a burning sensation.Bitch.

"Pl- Please...stop." I whisper.My breath caughts in the throat as she kicks my ankle twice before getting out.I grab my ankle and squeeze it, which makes some of the pain go away.I feel like my legs are burning, my mind blowing and half of my sanity gone.

Accept it, Aria.You're gone.Forever, I think as the pain continues.

Spencer

I drive with Toby's and Emily's car behind me.My vision is not that pretty much good - I'm almost sleeping, last night was hard.When you realize that your best friend was kidnapped, there's no sleep at all.

As we stop in The Busy Bee Inn's parking lot, I hear footsteps.There's something behind that tree.A squirrel appears in front of it and my heart stops for a second.Paranoic too much?

I get out of the car and follow Hanna.She stops and looks to us.

"Everyone knows what to do?" we nod.

"We're going inside." Ezra says and silently enters the place, Caleb and Toby after him.Me and the girls hide behind the cars.I look to them.Emily is worried - duh, we all are.Hanna and Alison are kind of sweating but are concentrating on the plan.Let's do it Spencer.Let's save Aria.

After a lot of time, they aren't here.Ali speaks.

"They went inside about 20 minutes ago, Han." she says and I nod. "I'm getting worried."

"Okay, change of plans.Let's go inside.The place is on the second floor." Hanna rolls her eyes.As she does it, we hear a scary noise coming from inside.I jump and Hanna stops walkin, which makes Alison bump on her.Emily gasps.

"Guys..." she says.

We run inside and as we go up the stairs, the noise is louder.When we almost get to the second floor, stopping in the middle of the way, all I see is the guys.They look at us and Caleb starts to say something.But before we can hear him, I gasp and my eyes widen.They all turn to where I'm looking and step back.Damn it.

There's she.In the first stair.It's a woman.She has a -escultural- body and stoods there, with her hands on her hips.She is wearing a mask, but you can tell she is smirking.Obviously - she is the -caçador- and we're the preys , about to face the death.

Toby has his hands behind him.He rises three fingers slowly so the unknown won't see it.One second passes and two fingers are left.Now it's just one.One more second passes as the last finger is gone.The words that get out of his mouth in the next second make my heart jump and the adrenaline run through my veins.

"Run." he whispers.

We all run up the stairs.A piece of glass falls of the -teto- and leaves a little cut on my arm.Great.I look to my side and Toby is there.Hanna and the others are behind him.Ezra is the last.

My arm has a burning sensation.Sweat.My legs are vibrating.My breath is leaving, and my lips are dry.But as we hear the noise, everything stops.I freeze.When I look behind me, the breath catches in my throat.Her lips are out of the mask but the face stills covered.The red lips are curved on a smirk.I look twice at the gun in her hands before looking to the male in the ground with his hand on the stomach, right where the bullet is.I know exactly who it is, and I'm no longer afraid.I'm gonna kill that bitch - whoever it is - for doing this to us.I look again to him and the pain is in his expression.

Ezra.
