Riverdale Preferences and Imagines

You Go Missing - 2.0

Hey guys! Sorry this is short and pretty poorly written, I'm having major writing block with all of my current stories I'm writing.

Same warnings as the last one apply: mention of abuse, possible sexual assault, abduction

Archie Andrews:

It was long past three am at this point, with Betty and Archie still marching along Sweetwater River. The two had fallen into a comfortable silence, with a few tears here and there.

"What if she's truly gone, Archie?" Betty suddenly asked, sending a chill down Archie's spine.

"Don't say that, Betty." Archie responded, sounding ruder than he intended to.

"But it's a possibility!" Betty exclaimed, throwing her hands up. "What if she never comes back, Just like Jason."

"Betty!" Archie yelled. Betty glanced at him, tears in her eyes.

"I'm going home, Archie. I can't do this anymore." She whispered, pushing past him.

"I'll come." Archie finally called, running to catch up. The two fell back into silence, but the woods seemed more eerie than before.

"Is it just me, or did these woods just get about ten times scarier?" Betty asked. Archie moved closer to the girl, placing his arms around her.

"Lets just get out of here, something's not right." He pushed her ahead of him, and the two picked up their pace. Suddenly, they heard a scream. Betty jumped, pushing herself closer into Archie's arms. Another scream. Archie suddenly started running towards the sound, but Betty couldn't move. Archie didn't slow for a second, until he saw two figures. One was definitely you, as he recognized your baby blue coat. The other was someone he couldn't quite make out, but he was gripping your arms tightly.

"Please, just let me go." He heard you whimper, and that was when he started to creep up on the guy. He met your gaze, and he held a finger to his lips. You flicked your gaze back to the man in front of you. Archie grabbed a large piece of a tree, walking until he was right behind the guy. He slammed the tree onto his head, and he fell to the ground. He was unconscious, and Archie quickly enveloped you in his arms. He pulled you all the way back to where Betty was still frozen, waiting nervously for Archie to return. She pulled you into a hug as well, before the three of you called Sheriff Keller and ran as fast as you could out of those woods.

Cheryl Blossom:

She refused to leave. She refused to believe that the broken lamp was a sign of a struggle, which meant abduction. She wanted to think that you were just clumsy and knocked it over, and you just had to get away for a bit. Sheriff Keller eventually came upstairs, sitting beside the girl.

"Cheryl, we're hoping we can find her. But I just want you to prepare for the worst. And if you need to talk to someone, the station is always open." He rubbed her back, and Cheryl glanced at him.

"I need you to find her alive." She whispered.

"We're doing everything we can, but there's no-" Cheryl cut him off.

"No, after everything with JJ, I need you to find her alive." She repeated. Sheriff Keller only nodded, patting her back once more before leaving.

After countless hours of profiling and questioning and searching, the case was still cold. And that was until they found a very interesting video on a hard drive that sat wrapped up in your clothes. Cheryl had been the one to find it, as she was putting away some more clothes for your return. She immediately brought the hard drive to Sheriff Keller, who watched it carefully. After he went over it once, he allowed Cheryl to watch as well.

"Hey, to whoever finds this." Cheryl gasped at how broken you looked, with dark circles enveloping your eyes.

"I'm really hoping it's Cheryl." You continued. "Because she's the only person I need to talk to."

Cheryl braced herself for the worst, gripping the chair as tight as she could.

"And if you're not Cheryl, hopefully you'll be kind enough to pass on this message. Tell her I'm fine, completely safe. I just need to get away and it was easier to pretend it was against my will. Cheryl, if you're watching, I'm where we first met. Not by your locker on the second day of freshman year, I'm where we made eye contact for a split second before walking past each other. If you're interested, I'm up for visitors." You finished, and the clip ended.

"Where is she?" Sheriff Keller asked. Cheryl glared at him.

"I think that's for me to know, and for you to never find out."

Betty Cooper:

"Betty, please, sit down!" Veronica begged. Betty shook her head, tears coming faster every second.

"I can't, I can't lose her Ronnie." Betty whispered, balling her fists up tightly. Veronica's eyes widened as she watched a small amount of blood trickle through the gaps in her fingers.

"Okay, Betty." She walked over to her friend, uncurling her hands. Betty glanced down and came face to face with the open wounds, sighing.  She sat down on her bed, the raven haired girl joining her. Betty sobbed, laying down. Veronica rubbed her friends shoulder, knowing that there was absolutely nothing she could say to make this better.

"Elizabeth! Come down here, now!" Alice suddenly called from downstairs. Betty hopped to her feet, racing down the stairs and almost falling in the process. Veronica followed closely, joining the blonde at the bottom of the stairs where Alice stood.

"They found (y/n). She's in the hospital." Alice explained. Betty raced outside, followed by her mom and best friend. They hopped into the car, driving as quickly as they could to the hospital. Betty rushed into your room as quickly as she could, kneeling beside you. You glanced over at her, smiling a bit. You reached your hand out, and Betty grasped it tightly.

"I'm okay." You whispered, stroking her hand with your thumb.

"You better be."

Veronica Lodge:

Veronica whipped around, coming face to face with a guy she had never seen. She reacted quickly, bring her knee up to his crotch before elbowing his nose.

"Where the hell is she?" She screamed, pushing him onto the ground. The man cried out in pain, curling up slightly. He pointed towards the car that was just down the road, and Veronica hit his head with her foot before racing off to find you. You laid unconscious in the backseat, and Veronica quickly smashed a window. She undid the lock, yanking the door open. She dialled Sheriff Keller's number as she picked you up gently, beginning the journey to her house. She told Sheriff Keller where she left the guy, before picking up her pace, never looking back.
