'what happens in greendale'

I was taking a ride after the past few day's events. The whole protest thing, what Fangs had said about Sweetpea. I had to get away from it all for a little bit. 

But of course nothing can really go my way.

I heard the sirens behind me about two minutes ago. I pulled over after debating on outrunning the cop and waited on my bike while to officer got out of his car.

"Your under arrest serpent scum." The officer spat at me while cuffing me from behind. 

How the hell is he arresting me right now? I didn't even do anything! 

I was just riding my bike-

Not my bike.

"What am I under arrest for officer?" a pit settled in my stomach. The answer I wanted was just for being serpent scum. I hope that's all this is. But deep down, there is only one reason for me to get arrested.

The officer behind me pulled me from my bike and started leading me towards his car. I wasn't even getting an answer?! Amazing cop work here.

He opens the backdoor to the patrol car and pushes me in. 

"Hey!" I shout at him but he doesn't mind me. He just closes the door after me and walks around to the drivers side. 

The cop gets in and starts up the car.

"I get a phone call right?" I ask him but he doesn't seem to notice. What the hell was I a ghost? This is blatant mistreatment. "Hello?!"

Suddenly the car leaps forward and we're taking off. And not at a seep that I like or that cops usually drive at. Why didn't he answer my questions? Why did this all feel off?

Keeping my eyes on the window I see the sign up ahead. I can barely read it but I know I've never been this far in my bike. And the station had to be somewhere crowded and populated. So where was he taking me?

The sign keeps edging closer and closer until I can read it clearly.

'Greendale'

"Hey! I don't know what type of sick person you are but you cannot take me to Greendale!" I scream through the plastic window barrie that operated me from him. It didn't seem to phase him in the slightest. "Hey! Asshole!"

"Keep down kid. Whatever you owe her you should have just given to her or you wouldn't be here." His voice finally answers me back and I don't like the answer.

I sit back into the seat. 

Penny.

Greendale.

"Please, she's going to make me do things that I don't wanna do. Please sir. You can say you killed me. I can run from here. I won't tell anyone." My voice became dry as I start to plead with the cop.

The car jerks forward at a stop.

"We're already here kid." He announces as he gets out of the drivers seat and out of the patrol car. 

No. 

No. I can't.

I can't be back here.

I can't.

My phone!

I can't take it out now. I need to save it.

My cuffed hands dip into my front pocket to pull out my phone. Quickly I make do with what I have and stuff it into my bra. Penny wouldn't dare get that close to me.

The door to my left opens and there she is.

"Diana. I'm glad you could make the time." She smiles wickedly at me and I can't help but shuffle closer to the corner of my side of the car. Anywhere far from her.

"I don't want anything to do with you. Nothing." I snarl in her direction but the door on my side opens up.

The cop grabs me by my arm and almost drags me out of the car. I say almost because I caught my footing pretty quickly and stood on my own.

He brings me around to her side where she's leaning against the car's side.

"That's too bad. Because I've got some business to do with you." She latches onto my arm and the cop let's go of me. "Thanks officer for the help."

"Penny I-" Before I can even finish my sentence her fist comes colliding with my face.

All I can see is the darkness slowly surrounding me and swallowing me whole.

-

My hear soars with pain as I squint my eyes open.

"She's awake! Finally!" Penny's voice goes thorough my left and our my right ear. It was an annoying as it was before I got knocked out. 

"What the hell do you want from me?" I question her as she slowly comes into my sight. She could have killed me. She should have killed me.

I can feel the ropes around my hands and feet. I'm tied to a wooden chair with the rope around my waist. That was a dumb mistake.

Her sinister laugh is what comes next. "Diana all I ever wanted from you was for you to pay me back. I did help you bury that body." The payback she was talking about was nothing like money. She wanted me to be one of her zombies. The people she gets to take care other shit.

I'm not a zombie.

"Your payback back then was me being your bitch. And times haven to changed seeing as I still don't want to be your bitch. So I suggest you kill me." Everything around me is still dark. But she had me held in some empty space I knew that.

I need to find a door.

"Bellamy I think you should play nice with me. Seeing as I can alert the men you've been running from of you're exact location." And now she's using my real name. She's dug herself into the hole already. All I had to do was in the bell.

Those men were going to feast on her head.

"Okay," I shrugged at her and she stilled like a statute. "please do. The last time they delt with a local they tore him apart limb by limb to get even a description of me. Think of what they'll do to you."

"I think that's all talk." That voice came from behind Penny. The same voice that said they were' done with me. Malachi.

He comes into my pain sight right by Penny's side. 

"Believe it or don't. All I know is they want me alive, not you," I nodded to Penny " and certainly not you." I nod to the ghoulie kid and smiled at the both of them.

Penny comes charging at me and her fist collides with my face with more impact than the last time. Now that was on purpose.
