"Guys stop do you hear that?" Sweet Pea suddenly asked looking behind them causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
It had been indeed voiced behind them... "How do they even know that we're here?" Fangs questioned a little above a whisper.
"My mother..." Betty mumbled looking down. "She was the only one that knew that would possibly rat us out!"
"Gosh, this isn't good," Jughead mumbled running a hand down his face.
"Jug, what do we do?" His best friend asked looking up at him.
"We run," He mumbled taking Lilly from her arms. "And we don't stop until we get there!"
"Are you crazy we'd never make it!" Fangs exclaimed looking at him in shock. "We still have a little over a mile,"
Jughead sighed. "It's either that or we die," And before he could even comprehend what happened they all took off running hoping that the people close behind them couldn't hear.
"Shit!" Jughead exclaimed looking down at Lilly. "This is making her sick!"
He stopped to go set her down however Betty stopped him. "She can't run... Not in her condition!"
He took her back into his arms, she looked at him with fear clouding her eyes. "I'm sorry," He whispered as he took off sprinting.
Minutes later though, both Betty and Fangs were having to stop and catch their breath. "Keep going!" Jughead exclaimed trying to get them to go... Yet nothing worked.
"Look I see it!" Sweet Pea exclaimed looking at the border in awe.
Their running seemed uneventful until finally, they had made it to their destination. "Gosh finally," Jughead exclaimed as they stopped at the fence looking at it in awe.
"Do we hop the fence?" Sweet Pea asked going over as he had been just about to touch it Betty screamed startling them all with fear as Fangs seemed to jump ten feet.
"What is it?" Jughead asked confused looking behind them seeing no one thankfully. "We have to get out of here before they catch us!"
"Why are you guys not thinking right... It's an electric fence!" Betty exclaimed as if it were obvious.
"So then how the hell are we supposed to get out of here?" Fangs asked with a groan. "We've made it this far and there is no way I'm letting this fence keep me away from my freedom!" He exclaimed.
"Well we better think of something fast," Jughead mumbled with wide eyes.
"Why?" Betty asked confused.
"Because that bush keeps moving," He explained as suddenly their eyes widened as they all began to think as Lilly hugged her sister's legs tightly.
"I know we can dig a hole and crawl under!" Jughead exclaimed getting down on his hands and knees. "Come on help me dig!"
They all began to get down on their hands and knees their hands getting covered in dirt as they began to dig as much as they possibly could. As fast as they possibly could knowing that someone or something thing had been up to behind them.
However, that didn't even seem to be the worst part. For all, they knew it could be the king himself coming to execute them on the spot, or it could be Alice, or it could just be the royal Hushers there to take them to the king for torture.
Although whoever it ended up being they didn't want to find out, nor did they want to encounter them. All they wanted happened to be freedom. That freedom being now only a fence apart and of course, it wasn't that easy.
"Hurry!" Sweet Pea exclaimed looking back at the noises that couldn't be exclaimed coming from the forest. "I don't like the sound that bush keeps making,"
Suddenly out of nowhere, they could see a husher coming their way far in the distance, once he comprehended what happened to be going on he began to call the others as more showed up out of nowhere running toward them fast and ready to get anything in their way.
"We're not going to make it!" Betty cried looking at the small hole as she knew that none of them could fit through that.
"Yes, we are," Jughead reassoned using all his might to keep digging harder and harder. "I will not them get us,"
After another minute of fast digging, the hole had been pretty big in size however it would be a very tight squeeze. "Hurry up Sweet Pea!" Fangs hissed looking back at the hushers who were still getting closer... They were going to be caught soon the hushers they were just to close.
Next Fangs went through then Lilly. "You go," Jughead exclaimed shoving Betty through fast. She quickly slipped in and through the hole faster than all the others due to her being smaller. Just as her best friend happened to be coming through the hole the hushers made it there jumping on top of his leg trying to stop him.
Jughead screamed turning in an awkward position to glance back at them. "Let him go, you Bitch!" Sweet Pea exclaimed as they began to try and pull Jughead back through the hole.
The raven-haired man tried kicking them although they were just too strong, as Fangs began to pull Jughead by the arms trying to get him through the hole. To freedom to safety, to what they had worked so hard for. To what he had been so close to.
"We won't let you leave! We'll take your friend and you'll have to come back to get him!" One of them exclaimed with an evil grin.
Jughead flailed around trying anything and or everything to try and get away however nothing worked as the friends began to panic. Knowing that there would only be more hushers on the way and they wouldn't stop there at just pulling Jughead back out they would start a war.
However suddenly out of nowhere a rock flew and hit one of the hushers in the face causing him to drop Jughead in pain to hold his face. "Tim!" The other man exclaimed looking at not them in shock just one person... Lilly.
"Lil that was amazing!" Betty exclaimed with a big smile picking up a rock of her own and chucking it through the wired fence.
"Great thinking!" Sweet Pea exclaimed with a smirk as they all began throwing rocks at the two hushers until finally their grip on the raven-haired man had been gone. He was able to get away and crawl through the hole and into freedom.
The freedom in which not just him but all of them had waited their whole lives for.
"It feels the same," Fangs whispered with a chuckle. Laying back and staring at the cloud above him. "Though I feel amazing,"
"We should probably get going," Betty whispered pulling at Jugheads arm as she watches the hushers get back up from the ground in pain.
"This isn't over!" Tim the husher yelled looking at them in fury. "We will bring more help and when we do god help you all!"
Sure they made it to freedom none the less their journey wasn't over yet, now they were down to their last task life or death. Tasked with finding Lilly a doctor and hope that things weren't too bad- Yet again they knew that maybe their luck had run short.
There had been no way of knowing what lied beyond this fence however they were just about to go and find out. Although hey at least they were somewhat free knowing that whatever they would find would be the best things they were to have ever seen before.
"So this is what freedom feels like," Jughead whispered with a wide smile. "Ah,"
