From Different Worlds

Chapter 22

It's been two days, and Cheryl hasn't slept. How can she? Her whole body is hurting, she hasn't ate anything, because Heather thinks she's fat. So she's water fasting, against her will. Meanwhile in Riverdale, they might of found a new lead...

"Toni, we think we know where Cheryl is." Betty says.

"Really? Where?" Toni's eyes light up.

Toni, and Betty have been meeting at Cheryl's trailer. Mainly because that's the only place they'll have some privacy.

"We think she's in this abandoned factory. One of our friends followed a Ghoulie there, and Heather walked out of it."

"We need to go."

"We need to come up with a plan first." Betty sighs. "I hope she's okay."

"Same here."

Meanwhile...

Cheryl hasn't said anything to Heather. Ever since she threatened Toni, she had it. Heather keeps on making men beat her, or she beats her herself, but it's definitely not getting her to talk.

"Now, you have two black eyes. Are you happy?" Heather asks. "I heard Jason isn't even looking for you. What a great brother he is." She laughs. "God, you talked about him like he was so great, but once he finds out your missing...he could care less."

Heather walked out, and comes back a few minutes later. With a thing in her hand. Not just anything, a sex toy. A strap on. "I need release." She sighs.

Cheryl finally talks. "No. No please. I don't want to. I'll do anything, but that." She begged.

Heather didn't care. She could care less. "All fours."

"No! You can't use me for sex! I have a girlfriend."

"I own you Cheryl. Plus, your girlfriend isn't doing a damn thing to find you. Must I remind you of the H on your wrist. You're mine. I decide what we do, and when we do it."

A tear rolled down Cheryl's cheek. This is what her life has come to. Being used for sex, and getting beaten up. Maybe Heather was right, maybe Toni didn't love her. Maybe Jason didn't either. Maybe no one did. She didn't move though. She just sat there. That one single tear, dripping down on her hand. She looked at it, and saw the H on her other wrist. She couldn't get out of this. She wouldn't get out of this. She probably wouldn't get out of this building alive, considering how much blood she looses everyday, the lack of food, and not sleeping.

"All fours, Now."

"No." Cheryl says calmly.

"What did you say to me?" Heather walks closer, and noticed a knife in her pocket.

"I said no. Are you deaf." Cheryl didn't care if she died, and figured if no one cared she shouldn't either.

Heather pulled the knife out, and grabbed Cheryl's leg. "Say it again."

"No." Cheryl narrowed her eyes.

Then Heather sliced her leg.

Blood was the last thing she saw before passing out. Sleeping for the first time in forty eight hours.

She woke up to someone lightly stroking her hair. She opened her eyes and Heather was there. She quickly moved away.

"Cher, baby what's wrong?"

"You, your what's wrong. I hate this stupid collar, for some reason my hands are tied now, you sliced my leg open, and you beat the fuck out of me! Do you care?!" Cheryl had enough. She was tired, and in pain.

"Don't talk to me like that." Heather said sternly.

"Fuck you."

"What did you say love?"

"Fuck. You."

"That's it. Your gonna get it you slut." Heather said storming out of the room. A bunch of Ghoulies walk in with all sorts of weapons. "Take care of her."

They started walking towards her, but were stopped when a bunch of Serpents bust through the building. The Ghoulies stormed out, and Cheryl was stuck. She can't walk, and Heather has the key to open her collar, and she can't far with it on. She could scream, but the gangs are fighting so no one would hear. She just sits there a taps her head against the wall. That is until she sees familiar pink hair. "Toni? What are you doing here?"

"We came to rescue you. C'mon."

"I can't." Cheryl grumbled, and pulled on the collar.

"What the fuck? Was she treating you like an animal?"

"Pretty much."

Toni hated seeing her girlfriend like this. Broken. She had bruises and cuts covering her face, and she didn't even want to know about the rest of her body. She pulled the switch blade that was in the jacket pocket, and cut off the collar, and the rope around her hands. "C'mon."

"I can't walk." Cheryl lifted her pant leg, and showed Toni the giant cut on her leg.

Toni clenched her jaw. "I'm gonna kill that bitch." She lifted up Cheryl, and walked her out to a car. Betty, and Veronica were inside it. Toni told them to stay, for her own reasons.

"Cheryl, Oh my god, are you okay?" Veronica asked.

"Does it look like I'm okay Veronica." Cheryl snapped. She was tired, and frustrated. Her neck was chafed from the stupid collar she had, and on top of that, she could barely move without hurting herself. "Can we just go?"

Betty starts driving, and Toni places her hand on Cheryl's thigh. She tenses up, but slowly eases into her touch.

They got to Cheryl's trailer, and Toni helped her into her bed.

Cheryl is locking everyone out. Not literally, just not talking to anyone. She looks emotionless. Her eyes didn't look like the happy ones Toni fell in love with, they looked gloomy, and sad. Which is understandable considering what happened to her, but she won't let anyone in. Won't talk to anyone. Toni had enough.

"Cher, talk to me. What happened in there?"

"Stuff." She said nonchalantly. Toni could tell she was trying not to break.

"You can talk to me. I just need to know so I can help you."

"I'm fine Toni. Really, nothing to bad happened."

"You have bruises and cuts covering you, you look like you haven't slept," She heard Cheryl's stomach growl. "and your obviously hungry."

"Okay, I maybe slept an hour these past two days. I've also been water fasting."

"What? Why are you water fasting? No. You don't need to water fast."

"Toni, I'm fine. But...I would like to cuddle with my girlfriend."

Toni laughed.

Cheryl laid on Toni's chest, and fell asleep fast. Toni on the other hand was playing with Cheryl's hair, when she noticed Cheryl's wrist that was laid across her stomach. It was an H, that must have have been carved with a knife or something. She gently picked it up, making sure she didn't wake Cheryl, and inspected it closely. She gently placed her arm where it was, and kissed her head lightly. "I love you princess." She whispered. Then she fell asleep shortly after.
