choni one shots!

Flooded tunnels

A/n Uh. I have no idea what happened in this one. But like 🤪.

"Tt?! Tt!" Screamed Cheryl as she wrapped her arms around the small woman who had dropped to the ground "hey! Look at me toni! What's happening?!" She looked around the room, Archie unconscious on the ground, fangs not too far away and serpents dropping like flies around them. "Toni..?" She carefully laid Toni on the ground as she whined and groaned in pain "Cheryl.. Anthony.." the redhead quickly looked up and searched the crowd of people until she spotted Kevin, his eyes filled with tears as he protectively clutched his son to his chest "he's ok, Toni.. Kevin has him.." she wrapped her ivory hands around Toni's before pulling the brunette against her body "don't worry I'll.. I'll stop the pain I'll-.." she started to quietly chant, through her sobs, as Toni squirmed beneath her the pain only getting worse. "Cher.. Cher I can't.."

Cheryl looked down at the lifeless body of her soulmate and sobbed. The wyrm slowly became silent, the only noise being others like herself mourning the death of their loved ones "Toni.. Toni no.." the gingers head fell, and she sobbed against Toni's chest until two pairs of arms wrapped around her. "Come on, Cher.." Said Tabitha as she helped heather try and pull the other girl away from the body. "Cheryl why don't we go home and get some sleep..?" Suggested heather. "Sleep?! You expect me to sleep!? My TT is dead and all you can think about is sleep!?" Cheryl's hand made contact with the taller girls cheek, and she gasped instantly filling with guilt. "Heather I'm sorry-" she reached out to grab her friends hand but she pulled away and stormed out "no.."

"Percival!!" Cheryl practically ripped the door of Percival's store off its hinges "miss blossom, what can I do for yo-" her fist landed against Percival's nose, the knuckle busters and pure anger behind it probably breaking his nose and bruising her hands. She grabbed him by the shirt and pulled the man close "bring her back! Bring her back! Bring her back!" She screamed repetitively. At the first it had started as a demand but the girl had quickly started sobbing and begging "please just bring her back.. she did nothing.. please.."

Percival smirked. His plan had worked. He had at least one of the rebellions members literally begging at his feet, offering anything even their life just to bring their soulmate back. "I'm assuming you mean miss topaz" he squatted down next to the sobbing blossom with a fake sympathetic frown when the girl nodded at him. "Well, Cheryl. With the right offers I'll bring your soulmate back." Said the man with a small smile "I'm not letting you hurt Anthony-" she warned "god no miss blossom! He is but an innocent child, I want you. And well I do want Anthony as well. Take Anthony as your own and join my ranks, then I'll bring Antoinette back and we can all be one big happy family, how does that sound?"

The blossom thought over her options. Her nana was dead. Toni was dead. Jason was dead. Her father was dead. Heather and her mother were long gone. This could be the only chance she had at happiness. Percival smirked slightly as he listened to the girls thoughts, knowing the answer was already obvious. "Fine." She muttered "but I'm only doing this for Toni!" Percival offered her his hand, and she unwillingly took it and he pulled her up to stand "very good choice, miss blossom. You know what to do, correct?" She nodded sadly before walking out.

"Kev-Kev can we talk?" Said Cheryl as she stood outside the Keller residence. He nodded and stepped to the side so she could walk in "so uh. You got the letter about Anthony too? How Toni left you as a guardian if she passed?" Cheryl went pale, Toni had left her child to be taken care of by her? "I.. i was here to talk about Anthony yes.. but i didn't receive a letter?" Kevin sighed and sat down on the couch, Cheryl doing the same. "Toni had my guardianship taken away when I filed for full custody, and we never got a chance to undo it. They obviously had to have a stand in for me, and since you did so well with polly's kids and Britta.. Toni suggested you. She was going to tell you the good news at the wedding but you know.. so once you sign the last of the paper work, you're legally going to be his guardian, mother even." A sad smile spread across the blossoms face and tears rolled down her cheeks "I kind of knew you'd say yes, so I uhm. I already packed his stuff for you, and the paper work should be mailed soon,is that alright?" She nodded and he sighed "I'll go get him and say goodbye."

"Welcome to your new home, Anthony. Don't worry, I'll get one of those silly white picket fences your mother used to blabber on about wanting to raise a child in soon enough, you don't have to stay in this hell hole long" said Cheryl as she carried Anthony through the front door of thorn hill with one arm, his stuff in the other. "Alright, kiddo lets get to know each other hey?" She carefully placed him down on the soft rug in-front of the massive living room fire.

After a couple hours of playing with the child, Cheryl finally decided to tell Percival. "Alright big boy, we're gonna go on a trip, kk?" She smiles as the boy giggled at her "I'm going to assume that's a yes." She picked him up and placed him in the stroller she had prepared for him, mentally praying Percival wouldn't do anything to the child.

Percival noticed the redhead approaching with the stroller and smirked before opening the door to the shop so she could bring in Anthony "well well, Cheryl that was fast. I'm impressed." She didn't know why but it felt weird when he praised her, like a metaphorical wall somewhere had been cracked "Toni left me as the guardian so he was practically handed to me on a silver platter" whispered Cheryl as she followed Percival into a back room "now obviously I won't bring back the boys mother instantly. I want you to have proved your loyalty to me first." Cheryl nodded as she picked Anthony up and cautiously handed him to Percival before looking around the room. It was a average sized bedroom. With a crib in the corner. "Wait a minute. You don't want me and Anthony to stay here do you?!" When she turned Percival nodded at her and she groaned quietly.

It had been a few weeks and no one had heard from Cheryl, and since she was now in possession of a child everyone was pretty worried. When it became noticeable that Cheryl hadn't been home for a while and her social media was completely dry, even her being as cruel as to not have brought Anthony to his parents funeral Betty decided it was time to pay Percival a visit indirectly.

"This the place?" Said Agent drake and Betty's voice came through her earpiece "yep, Percival Pickens' curiosity store. I swear if he's touched one hair on Anthony or my cousins head, shoot him." Said the blonde as drake approached the store "will do." She chuckled and walked in "hello? Anyone in here?" After a moment Percival stepped out of the back rooms "ah hello, what can i help you with?" He said with a smile "well I was passing by and when I saw this store I hoped you may have some sellable items with some sort of historical value? My girlfriends a massive history nerd." He thought for a second then nodded "right this way." He lead her into a tiny cross section in the store, with two doors. She looked over at the slightly ajar one and noticed a flash of redhair. "Cheryl." She heard Betty's come through yet again and sighed as Percival led her into the other door "I think I'll have some things she'll like in here"

Cheryl had been taking care of Anthony as if he was her own, which included the inevitable waking up to him crying early in the morning. She was slowly loosing hope in Percival and a fear of what he could possibly make her do to get Toni back was increasing "miss blossom! If you would come here a moment!" She sighed and carefully placed Anthony into his crib then walking out into the main shop "yes, Percival?" He smiled at her "it's time to bring miss topaz back."

"If everything goes to plan, in the next 24 hours you and miss topaz will be sharing your room from now on. Now there are some things you'll have to do. First off, I need jughead gone for a bit longer, I did what I could but there's only a matter of time till he figures out how to fix it." Cheryl nodded slowly, thinking back to when Tabitha mentioned him hiding out in the secret bunker. "Then I need another human life, the one I've stored in the room opposite yours should do well enough but we have to act fast as I believe she had been in cahoots with your cousin." The redheads eyes widened "Veronica?" She questioned "no, no. A woman by the name of Jillian drake, an FBI agent who honestly seemed quite smitten for miss cooper." Agent drake, the one from the bachelorette party, damn. "Alright, I'll do it. Fast."

The jugheads looked up at the entrance of the bunker as it creaked open and Cheryl's thoughts flooded into riverdales jug's head "Cheryl?" He questioned "forsythe, my apologies for this but Percival's offer was too good to resist." His eyes widened as the entrance lit up in flames that slowly crawled towards him. "Cheryl! Cheryl what the hell!? Cheryl!!" The red head watched the flames spread before closing and locking the bunker with a groan. She furrowed her eyebrows when a small voice came from behind her "Cheryl?" She turned to see Toni. Her Toni. The Toni with a majority of her hair pink, the Toni who always had her serpent jacket on her shoulders and a smirk on her face. "Tt?"
