Riley: A Riverdale FanFic

Chapter Six: Bye Bye Penny

Riley's POV

We were standing in the middle of a bunch serpents who were hanging out on old couches around a fire. I saw fangs sitting next to Sweet Pea who had a blonde perched on his lap.

JugHead was making a speech about getting rid of someone named Penny Peabody and not wanting the serpents to turn out like the ghoulies. There were some oppositions but for the most part people were on board. Toni said something about the first law being no serpent stands alone and then everyone was in agreement.

They devised a plan to kidnap Penny and run her out of town. He split the serpents he chose to help up into groups. That blonde that was with Sweet Pea wasn't among them and she had an issue with it.

"Sweets I don't want you to go. Can't we just got back to my place and have some fun." She purred in his ear and was grabbing him.

"Amanda you know I want to but I can't. No serpent stands alone." They were still whispering and talking when Toni walked up behind me.

"That's his ever loyal girlfriend." She said sarcastically. "He's only with her for the body and she doesn't seem to care." It was obvious the way they were acting that it was more of a sexual relationship then a real relationship. The way she hung off of him. Now that I'm looking closer she really did have a nice body. She was tall and shaped like a perfect hour glass. If I cared about how I looked I'd hate my own body just looking at her. I didn't realize I was staring until they were making out and Sweet Pea made direct eye contact with me and winked. JugHead snapped me out of it.

"Earth to Riley. Your with Toni. You'll meet us at the end of town towards Greendale in 2 hours. Just hang tight til then." We nodded and everyone headed off to do their separate jobs.

"We'll just you and me. This would be a lot easier if you talked more." Toni Said slowly. I know she didn't want to offend me but 2 hours with someone who doesn't talk would be boring. So as much as I hated it I was have a conversation. Plus Toni seems nice, what do I have to loose.

"I can talk, I just don't very much." She smiled and look happy I'd seem willing to talk.

"So I heard your from Centreville. Do you miss your friends?" I smiled a little.

"I didn't have any. Just me and dad." She looked shocked that I was smiling.

"Oh I'm sorry Ahh.." She was lost for words so I saved her.

"Tell me about your friends, and the serpents and Riverdale. I've been here three days and know nothing. But kinda important who is Penny and what are ghoulies?" She smiled because I sounded happy and interested. I was but my throat hurt because I never talk this long almost ever.

Two hours later we were all on the outskirts of town with our blades in our hands. JugHead stepped forward to pull the hood off of a blonde woman.

Jug explained how she was no longer a serpent or welcome in Riverdale. She rolled up her sleeve.

"I'm a serpent for life. I have the tattoo, you can't hurt one of your own." JugHead let out a dark laugh.

"Oh Penny that tattoo doesn't make you a serpent. But if you insist." He stepped forward and pressed the blade to her arm but stopped and stepped back. "I can't do it. Dammit! She's so evil why can't I cut it off." His plan just clicked into place in my head and after everything Toni told me about Penny we can't just let her go. They will suffer forever. While everyone was staring at Penny and JugHead was trying to figure out what to do I went up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" And then the screaming started.

"Holy shit Riley!" JugHead said as I was cutting. Blood was pours out all over hands. They all just watched. When I'd finished I flicked the piece of skin to the ground and turned around. I gave JugHead the look that said are we done here and he nodded.

"I need a cigarette." I Said quickly. And JugHeads eyebrow shot up.

One of the serpent boys who smokes tossed me one I walked back to the bikes and fished my lighter out of my pocket. I slowly smoked while I waited for them to finished up.

"Wow Riley. That was intense." Fangs said walking up to me. I was still covered in Penny's blood so when he went for a high five he didn't receive it.

"How did you do that? How did you, you just, wow. And since when do you smoke?" JugHead was shocked and I just shrugged. "We gotta Get you home and cleaned up before my dad sees. Thanks guys you all helped the serpents will no longer be Penny's!" There were cheers all around as everyone climbed on there different bikes.

"Should we meet back at the river bank?" Toni called to the others.

"I won't be there. Amanda's at my place." He winked at Toni and Fangs.

"Horn dog!" Fangs call at him as he drove away. JugHead shook his head and motioned for me it was time to go.

"Hold on but, don't hold on. Uh, just try not to get blood on me." JugHead Said. I nodded and he drove us home.

Unlucky for us FP was awake when we got home. He saw me covered in blood and started yelling at both of us.

"JugHead! Riley! What the hell happened? Who's blood is this?" He was yelling but JugHead kept calm and I just kept my head down.

"Relax dad. All you need to know is we won't have to worry about Penny anymore." FP sighed and shook his head.

"I don't want to know what you did. But you better have gotten rid of her for good. Go get cleaned up." I nodded and went to the bathroom and showered and changed.

The rest of the holidays went by pretty smoothly. It was my first Christmas with a real family that wasn't just me and dad and it was nice.

Sweet Peas POV

I was right. There is something to her. She cut that tattoo off of Penny's arm without a thought. It was like her eyes went blank and she was on a mission. She wasn't even there anymore. And she smokes.

This innocent pure looking thing is full of violence. I'm kinda excited to see what happens with her.

I spent my holidays with Amanda. We spent many nights together but Riley was still on my mind.
