What if... - A Pretty Little Liars Fanfic

What if Alison was A? - Part 1

Emily:
It's been a few months since our first message from A and it's slowly getting worse. I think I'm going crazy, I keep thinking I see Alison but I must be hallucinating. She's dead. Dead. We went to her funeral but I keep having these dreams about her that seem so real...

I walk into the Brew with Aria to meet Spencer and Hanna. We sit down in the corner and start talking. "I think A is starting to go to far," Aria said and I nodded, she was right. A sent all of us at least a message a day, it was crazy.
"Starting to?!" Spencer said, sounding very angry, "A has gone too far from the moment this whole thing started! A might have killed Ali, isn't that too far already??"
Spencer sounded like she was going to pop any second now. She had been obsessing over finding out who A was since the second we got the first messages. "Woah, calm down Spence," Hanna said, "Try not to get stressed over it, it's just what she or he wants."
"I think Ali's alive," I said without knowing, the girls stared at me like they thought I was crazy.
"What??" Aria asked, "That's insane! We went to her funeral." She whispered the last part.
"I know, I know, I didn't mean to say it but..." I trailed off.
"But what?" Hanna half-shouted, "At least finish what you're going to say!"
"Now you're the one that has to calm down, Hanna." Spencer said, taking a sip of her coffee which I gave her to help calm down.
"Well, I keep having these weird realistic dreams where I see Ali," I said and they were all listening intently, "But they seem TOO real to be dreams, she says things that I don't even know and moves things about my room. It's only small things but big enough for me to notice."
"Now that's just crazy," Hanna said.
"No, no, she's right." Spencer said, which partly shocked me because I wasn't expecting anyone to agree with me.
"Really?" I asked at the same time as Hanna.
Spencer nodded. "I thought I was the only one.." Aria spoke up, "I've seen her almost every night since her funeral. I could tell half of them were dreams of being buried, but the other half she just talked to me."
" I mean, I've seen her too, but it's not real," Hanna said.
"When did you guys see her?" Spencer asked, "Like, what did she say?" We all looked at each other.

Aria:
"When did you guys see her?" Spencer asked, "Like what did she say?" We all looked at each other.
I think this whole thing is insane, not just the fact that Ali could be alive, but that she was ever dead in the first place. "If Alison is alive, do you think she's A?" I blurted out, what if she was? It would make sense of everything she said to me.
"I think if she is alive, she shouldn't be ruled out as a suspect." Spencer said, not making eye contact with any of us.
"If she is.. A, then what she said to me would make more sense," Emily said, "She talked about how great things were with all of us.. until Spencer started to corrupt us..."
"Well, I don't understand that, but it gives her a motive." I said, what did Ali mean by corrupting us? It doesn't make much sense.
"She also said how Hanna didn't seem to want to be her friend any more." Emily continued, "And how Aria wouldn't listen to her." I always listened. My mistake wasn't the times I didn't listen, it was the times I did. "She said I was always loyal, and she trusted me..."
"She said similar things to me, but about how I should've listened, and if I did, she wouldn't be gone. And I think she's right.." Spencer said.
"What bullshit!" Hanna said, standing up, "This is the game! The game A has been playing with us since the moment she was buried! She's trying to get inside our heads!" Hanna's right, the threats weren't the game, this is.
