Riverdale High Class

F. O. U. R. T. Y. F. I. V. E

It was a day like any other. Everything seemed normal. Students went to class, the Vixens and Vipers prepared for the annual prep rally. Couples had their stolen moments in quiet classrooms. But in Riverdale, there's no such thing as normal, as Cheryl Blossom and Mercy Johnson was about to discover.

Mercy POV

I walk down the hall with my team showing off our uniforms the cheer team with us. I watch Kevin and Moose sneak into a class and I grin but it drops when I hear multiple thuds. Me and Cheryl look at each other before turning around and what I see almost makes my heart stop. I rush to the group grabbing Peaches turning her to the side and reaching over tilting Abby as well.

Me:Get help! Moose call 911!

I look around seeing both Cheer and drill teams on the ground, that means me and Cheryl gotta be the only ones not doing drugs, but she's playing the game, so that's not it.

What is going on here?

I wave goodbye to Peaches mom before leaving out of the door. I fix my jacket before jogging to my car, but that is before I see some kid collapse onto the side of my car. I get to him and grab his shoulder he looks at me and give a small smile.

Me:What's up kid? You need a ride?

He looks at me like I'm a monster.

Me:I can't do anything worse than whoever did this to you. Lemme drop you off at home. I'm Mercy, you are?

He licks his bloody lip and nods.

Boy:Malcom.

Me:Nice to meet you Malcom, come on.

I unlock my car and put him in the passenger seat before looking around making sure he ain't with some stick up kids. I get inside and I look at him.

Me:I need an address.

Malcom:43 South Jordan st.

Me:You going the wrong way ain't you?

Malcom:I was avoiding some people...

Me:They apart of a gang or just some assholes?

Malcom:Ghoulies, we were at Wipeout Arcade my friends left me.

Me:Well they ain't good friends, Wipeout ain't a good hang out spot though.

Malcom:No where is.

Me:You got me there.

We drive the rest of the way in silence until I pull up to the building. I get out and help him out.

Me:You got your key?

Malcom:Yes.

I nod and he gets it out and opens the door, we help him walk up the stairs and through the hall until we make it to a door. He unlocks the door and I see a older woman sitting watching TV suddenly she pops her head up and gets up as fast as she can.

Woman:Oh my God! Malcom what happened to you!? And who are you?

Me:I'm Mercy Johnson ma'am, Malcom fell against my car and I just wanted to help him.

I continue to help Malcom as I sit him on the couch and the woman speaks.

Woman:You're a Serpent.
