new_it_girlHanna was glad the latest Fandom shenanigans didn't have an effect on her.
Why? Because she'd forgotten about a contest she signed up for a few weeks ago. She only remembered now because she got an email notice yesterday informing her she'd won a chance to meet the hottest new designer in Philly. Though, she supposed, it would be nice to have Fandom's fun idea of a disguise to throw off 'A.'
Now, on her way to the boutique in Philly, she wished she'd gotten some advice from Spencer about what to say. She didn't want to say anything stupid. Alas, Spencer was busy preparing for a special dinner anniversary dinner for Toby. Awww.
Hanna was on her own as she approached the boutique doors. As she was about to open one of them, she caught a startling reflection on the glass window. From across the street, there was a figure wearing a red coat, a red coat similar to the one Ali wore during her Vivian Darkbloom days. No. It couldn't be...could it?
She turned around, expecting to see someone sinister, but there was nothing there. It's just your imagination, Hanna.
She pulled herself together a bit before trying to door bell. When there was no answer, she waltzed in on her own. The place seemed abnormally quiet for a fashion house. "Hello? Corin?"
The place seemed deserted. There was no furniture and plastics drapes were everywhere like a construction site.
It wasn't until she wandered into an area full of mannequins that she became alarmed. When the lights went out, that's when she knew for sure she'd been set up. Oh, and there was a hooded figure running past her. This had 'A' written all over it.
Hanna gasped, and started running. But she was caught in a web of mannequins. They were everywhere.
"Somebody help me!" she exclaimed as she saw the hooded figure inch closer toward her. "Oh god."
She was certain the figure had intentions to harm her in some way. She just didn't expect it in the form of a bunch of mannequins being hurled toward her. She didn't actually expect to be attacked by dummies for real! That was just supposed to be in class!
They came crashing toward her with such force that she was knocked over like a bowling pin. She was gasping as she held her wrist. She was sure there'd be a bruise tomorrow. Ow.
She listened as the door closed behind her attacker, relieved he or she was gone. It wasn't Mona, that was for certain. She expected a threatening text to accompany the orchestrated set up. She wasn't wrong.
Next time, you'll be left faceless.
- A
Hanna stared at the faceless mannequin beside her and shuddered. Then she spotted a single key on the floor with the letter 'A' on a keychain. The key to the new 'A' lair perhaps? She had to let the others know about this, even if she felt humiliated right now.
Spencer, who was here despite her anniversary with Toby, was already online looking into things. "Corin moved her store to Society Hill a month ago."
"Did you tell Mona you signed up for this contest?" Emily asked.
"No, I signed up online weeks ago." Hanna sighed. The contest probably wasn't even real. She really felt like an idiot. "She's doing this to get back at me for cutting her off. Using one of her minions. That wasn't her at the store."
Aria glanced at Hanna's phone again. "She threatened to cut your face off?"
"Or throw acid at her," Emily contributed.
"You guys, come on," Hanna said, trying not to flail. How could she not, though. That was a pretty descriptive threat and it freaked her out.
Spencer took the key from Hanna. "I'll hold on to this until we figure out what to do with it. I gotta get ready for tonight."
"Have fun tonight," Emily told her. "We'll worry about this tomorrow."
"If you really want to surprise Toby, have on five inch heels and nothing else when he walks through the door," Hanna suggested. This was one of her blunt moments.
"What?" she asked when Spencer just stared at her in response. "I heard some guys like that."
Emily shook her head once Spencer had left the room, amused.
"Remind me to tell you about how my dad's girlfriend drugged me," Aria added nonchalantly.
"Wait..what?" Hanna listened to Aria's story of blackmail, her dad's affair, Alison, his potential involvement in her death, and Meredith drugging Aria's tea to prevent her from telling anyone. The only good thing to come from that was her dad being taken off the suspect list. Another red herring. Though Meredith seemed to have alluded the police and is still out there. Was she on the suspect list now? Or did she just not want the love of her life (seriously?) to go to prison?
"Wow, seems like I missed a lot," Hanna said, rubbing her head.
"But it's like nothing changed when you come back, right?" Emily pointed out.
"Seriously," she sighed, shuddering again at the thought of creepy mannequins.
Just another day in Rosewood?
