From Different Worlds

Chapter 21

Cheryl gets to the river, and Heather has a gun to Toni's head. She stops in her tracks, "Heather, what are you doing?"

"I'm gonna give you a choice. You come with me, and I won't shoot Tiny's brains out. You don't, you can watch her die right here."

Toni looks at Cheryl with tears in her eyes. Cheryl looks back at Toni before looking at Heather again. "Put the gun down, and I'll go. Just let me say bye to her first."

"Okay, but when you come, your mine. Forever. I own you, I control whatever you do, and you have to listen."

"Let Toni go, and I will."

Heather pushes Toni towards Cheryl. She takes a shaky breath before talking. "I love you Toni. I always will." Cheryl takes off her serpent jacket and puts it on Toni. "Watch over my friends, and brother for me okay?" With tears running down both their faces, she pulls Toni into a passionate kiss. "Tell Veronica, and Betty... they'll help you find me. I love you." She whispers into Toni's ear. She then walks away with Heather. Toni doesn't hesitate to call Veronica, and Betty right away.

Cheryl was taken to some abandoned factory. She was taken into a room, with an old mattress on the ground, and there was a collar? Attached to a pole next to the bed. "Put this on." Heather hands her a grey sweater and sweat pants.

"So I'm a prisoner." Cheryl scoffs.

"You do remember the punishment for talking back don't you?" Heather smiles sickly. "Oh yeah, bra and underwear off too."

"Can I have some privacy?"

"Sure, ladybug. Just one thing." She taps her cheek.

Cheryl nearly threw up right there, quickly pecked her cheek, and wiped her lips.

Heather walked away and closed the door. Cheryl got changed, and just sat there waiting for her to come back because the door locked from the outside. Heather came back with two men, and a switchblade in her hand. "I need to make sure your mine, Cherry." The men grabbed her arm, and she tried to get out of their grip, but they were to strong. Heather began carving an H into her wrist, and she screamed at the top of her lungs. Then after Heather wrapped her arm, and put the collar on her. She kissed her forehead, and began to walk out. "Get some sleep Cherry. Tomorrow I have a lot of anger I need to get out."

Cheryl wanted to cry. But, she couldn't. She didn't want to be that vulnerable little freshman anymore. She just hopes Betty, Toni, and Veronica were trying to find her. She didn't want to fall asleep either. Who knows what Heather would do to her. Now, that she's branded, Heather probably thinks she could do whatever she wanted. She "owned" Cheryl.

Pop's...

"Hey, Toni. Why are you wearing Cheryl's serpent jacket?" Veronica asked.

"Heather was about to kill me, and Cheryl made a deal with her not to, and now Cheryl has been kidnapped." Toni blurted. "By Heather."

"That bitch." Betty said. "Do you know where they went?"

"Oh yeah, because I called you over here for nothing."

"Calm, down. Tell us everything that happened." Veronica said.

"Okay..."

Toni explains everything, and they just sat there. Betty, and Veronica didn't say anything. "Can you track her phone?" Veronica asked.

Toni slowly pulls it out of the pocket of Cheryl's jacket. "I don't think that would be to helpful." She sighs. "I wonder what she's doing right now."

"Probably getting abused." Betty says. "I'll get the serpents out, searching everywhere. Greendale, and Riverdale."

"Heather is one psycho bitch." Veronica says.

"What about the police?" Toni asked.

"No. Heather is a part of the Ghoulies, hell she probably is making Cheryl join them. Calling the police might start a gang war-actually they already started one. I need to call Jason." Betty says, and leaves.

"We'll find her Toni." Veronica tries to comfort Toni.

Toni isn't crying, she is just in shock. She felt like she was so stupid. Just letting Cheryl go like that. How could she? How could she not even put up a fight? She just stood there, watching the love of her life go back with her abusive ex. She was a terrible girlfriend. Cheryl probably hated her. Cheryl was probably being tortured, and thinking about how Toni didn't love her. Tears started to roll down her cheeks thinking about all of this. This was gonna be a rollercoaster.

Abandoned Factory...

A few hours had passed, and Cheryl was still sitting there. She knew Heather's father was leader of the Ghoulies, so she probably force her to join soon. She was definitely not going to. Heather can beat the life out of her before she does that. Cheryl was getting tired, but couldn't fall asleep. Who know's where the mattress she's on has been. Cheryl could her the door being unlocked, and she sighed. Heather walked in and began blabbering her mouth as usual.

"You look cute with a collar on. Not being able to do anything about it." She laughed. "You've been a very naughty girl. You left with those losers, and never came back, cheated on me with that cheerleader, joined our enemy's. Well, your gonna get punished."

"I don't care." Cheryl said blatantly. "Do what you want"

Heather called her minions over.

"Now you can't even do it for your self. Wow. Times have changed." Cheryl laughed.

"No. First there gonna beat you up, then I get to poke you with this for a few..." She pulled out a cattle prod. Cheryl's eyes went wide. "Then I'm simply gonna beat you with a belt."

Cheryl told herself she wasn't going to cry. Not at all. The men start walking over, and one just punches her right in the jaw. To Cheryl it didn't even hurt. "That's all you got?" She laughs. The other takes a swing at her, and hits her square in the nose. Her nose begins to bleed. "Nice one."

They were honestly pretty scrawny compared to the other men Cheryl has gotten fights into. One of them punches her in the eye, then they put on brass knuckles.

"Okay, guys don't mess up that pretty face to much." Heather said. They stopped right after. Cheryl had a busted lip, black eye, and her cheek was cut. "My turn." Heather smirks. "I wont use this unless you say, three simple words."

"Fuck. You. Bitch." Cheryl spits out some blood, and smirks. "There."

"I really didn't want to go here."

A few minutes go by, and Cheryl still hadn't said what Heather wanted her to say. Yes, Cheryl did love someone but it definitely wasn't Heather. She wasn't about to give in especially since she was being tortured.

"I can do this all day," Heather says poking her with the prod again. Cheryl groaned and attempted to move away.

"I can too." She rasped out.

"Fine. Let me go get some things." Heather walks out, and Cheryl's close to breaking. She was tired, and thought she might just give this one to Heather. She comes back with a red rope, and a thick black belt. "You know...that cheerleader bitch is probably only using you. I mean to look good on her end, considering your a charity case in all."

Cheryl knew Heather was just trying to get under her skin. Toni would never. "Toni wouldn't. Why would she date a south side serpent for publicity."

"Yeah, about the Serpents. You have to join the Ghoulies."

"Over my dead body."

"I own you, remember? Or it's Tiny. But she won't be joining the Ghoulies. She'll join her dad. In heaven."
