Mona

*that morning*

Emily POV

I made my way into school with Ali close behind. We didn't hold hands or speak to each other. She made her way towards Aria and I went into the bathroom to meet with Spencer. I walked through the door to be greeted by Spencer, who was checking the bathroom stalls. She didn't even seem to notice I was there.

"Spencer?" She stood up and spun around to face me.

"Oh Em... Hello. How are you?" She seemed nervous about something.

"Im fine. Whats up? Why did you want to meet here?"

She cleared her throat. "Uhm so you remember that picture right?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Well..." she said.

"Spence spit it out."

"Aria figured out who sent it." she said quickly

"Okay get to the point."

"Mona Vanderwaal" she spoke up

Ali's been secretly trying to figure out who sent the picture since her parents kicked her out. Obviously she hasn't been very secretive about it. When i confronted her about it she explained and didn't deny what she was doing and said if she found out who sent it she would personally punch them in the throat.

"I don't think its the best idea to tell Ali just yet."

"Emily thats exactly what Arias' doing, right now." Spencer said in a serious tone. Then the yelling started and it came from none other then Alison.

Spencer POV

Emily and I had rushed out of the bathroom. Alison was rushing toward Mona. Who was leaning against the lockers, smiling. Emily leaned against the bathroom doorway. I saw a flash. Almost like the kind you see from a freshly polished knife. I looked over to Mona, who yielded a knife behind her back. Then i took a step forward. Emily must have saw the knife as well because she took off running toward them. Right before Ali lunged forward toward Mona Emily had grabbed her.

Emily POV

"Easy there tiger." She tried to break away from my grip around her body. Im assuming she hadn't seen the knife behind Mona's back. Everyone was huddled around, slowly backing away as they had seen what Mona was holding.

Ali broke away from my grip. I tried to get her but just couldn't. Mona pulled the knife to the front of her.

"Shit. She has a knife." Ali said backing away. Where are the teachers when you need one? Mona kept taking more steps toward Alison. Everyone flinching each step she took. Afraid that they could be her next victim. Ali was close enough to grab. I quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. Spencer grabbed her. I turned back toward Mona who was about three inches from me. Im prepared to get slashed by the knife when Mona's devilish grin drops into a dark stare.

"Mona you don't have to do this." I wasn't scared. Which was strange usually when your about to get stabbed you try to get away. But if i ran right now Ali would definitely get hurt.

"This is payback, Alison's a horrible person. We used to party together. I loved her." she paused. "But she loves you now. So if your not here anymore... who does she have to love? Besides I know all your dirty little secrets Emily Fields. If i should even call you that" Mona had no hint of emotion in her voice. She spoke in monotone.

"Mo-" Ali said

"Go ahead, cut me up." Id rather it be me then Ali.

My ears started ringing and i heard yelling. Ali kept yelling at Spencer. Screaming to let her go. I just stood there waiting for Mona to cut me. She took one last step forward. Then put the sharp blade against my throat. I shut my eyes and squeaked out an
"i love you."

The knife dropped, but immediately after i was punched. I think it was a punch. Next thing i knew i was lying on the ground. I must've fallen on the knife because i felt myself land on something. My vision was getting blurry. Did I land on a knife? Is there a knife in my back? I started reaching for something to hold anything. Someone was at my side, i reached for them and felt something hit my head. Everything then went black.

Alison POV

This is my fault. Im the one that didn't see the knife. Mona didn't kill Emily. She just punched her really hard. Mona had dropped the knife to the ground which Emily had landed on from the impact of being punched. Luckily the knife way laying flat. So there was no stab wound. Emily started reaching for something so i rushed to her side, she proceeded to grab my hand tightly. Before Mona walked out of school she kicked Emily in the skull. Then she went unconscious. Everything's happening so fast and I don't know what to do. Spencer started yelling for the nurse. The scrawny old women pulled Em into the nurses office. I stood up and looked at Spencer.

"Shouldn't she call an ambulance?"

"Probably." Spencer replied. But then it hit me. If Emily were to go to the hospital she'd be sent back into the foster system.

"We need to get her out of there. Before an ambulance is actually called. "
