The doors to our hospital room opened, disturbing our laughter as we all stared at the suit wearing woman with shock.

"Alana Jones?" She asked, readjusting the glasses on her nose.

"Y-Yes?" I asked.

"We need to speak in private" she said seriously.

"No, it's fine whatever needs to be said can be said here" I nodded, looking at the two lads as I sat up in confusion.

"I recommend that this is done privately, but as you wish" She nodded, pulling out a file from her bag.

Social Services

Oh no, not again. My heart raced in my chest, I'm up for adoption again. Little did I know that it was much much worse than that. Actually after finding out this news, being adopted sounds like a luxury.

"As of today, your biological father- Forsythe Jones- has lost custody over you. As your adoptive parents are now facing time in jail, the only other person to take over is your mother- Penny Peabody. We have done some research into her and she has a clear record. She is the most suitable option for you, and since you are underage you have no right to object unfortunately" she said with a fake sense of sympathy.

"No- you can't do this- you can't she's a monster- I can't go" I started breathing quickly, and I knew that a panic attack was coming along.

"You can't do that to her, Penny is a bad woman, much worse than FP will ever be" Sweet Pea fretted, reaching over his bed to sooth me by caressing my back slowly.

"Y-you can't. You can't. I can't go. I can't go. My dad needs us" My breathing was unsteady now, and my head was beginning to feel very light and airy.

"I'm afraid there is nothing we can do, She is here to see you" The woman nodded and left the room.

"Sweet Pea- I- I cant do it" I cried, finally letting my sobs free.

I held my chest in panic, and I could hear the heart monitor going crazy, sending Sweet and Fangs into a frenzy.

"Nurse! We need a nurse!" They both shouted, but the sound was muffled now.

"I need my dad- I need Jughead and my dad" I cried uncontrollably, not knowing what to do.

A nurse rushed over and pushed me back, lying my head on the pillow. Sweet peas arm remained rubbing my shoulder as the woman dabbed a cold cloth over my forehead.

When she left, my panic came back.

"Sweet Pea, we need to go" I nodded, looking at him seriously.

"No, you're not thinking straight. You won't be going anywhere for a while, we can sort this out by then. We can't go anywhere yet, it's not safe" He said clearly, nodding to get me to reciprocate the action.

"I am thinking straight- I need to go I can't stay here if she's taking me I can't I won't let myself go with her" I rambled, and began tugging on the wires.

"No, Ally stop that now!" Fangs shouted at me, watching me pluck each needle from my arm.

I pushed myself from the bed, but felt weak immediately and the nurse caught me in a state of panic, pushing me back down onto the bed.

I squirmed slightly but my dizziness got the better of me, and she pushed the needles back into my arms.

The doors to our room opened, and in came Penny Peabody herself.

"I told you I'd get custody over you, didn't I poppet?" She smirked.

She was wearing a skirt and blouse, clearly trying to come across as sophisticated. Her pink hair had also gone, which made me wonder why she had gone to such lengths to get complete custody over me.

"You can't do this" my lip quivered, as she stepped towards me.

"Step back, Penny" Sweet Pea warned.

"Excuse me?" She said, calling over one of the nurses.

"Yes, miss?" She asked, holding onto the barriers on my bed.

"I don't like my daughter being in the same room as boys, could she have a private room?" She said with a fake tone of sweetness.

"Of course, we have just had someone leave so we can send her there immediately" The nurse nodded, and I looked to the two serpents with fear.

"No- I don't want to. You're not my mother" I spat, but what control did I have? Absolutely none.

"Aw, But the funny thing is, I am" She smiled, pushing some hair from my sweaty face and wrapping it over my ear. She kissed my forehead and I my lip quivered in utter terror.

"You won't be seeing that father of yours again, don't worry" She smiled, as though it was a good thing.

I couldn't even comprehend what was happening right now. One minute I'm being stabbed, the next I'm almost dead, and now I'm being given back to my mother.

Now I get it. She sent Malachi to stab me, to get FP to lose his custody over me because of his irresponsible parenting, so she could take me back. For what reason I haven't worked out yet.

But hey, it's working so surely there must be other things planned. She didn't just I this to get her daughter back, there's something there, something planned that is going to completely fuck me or my family up and I'm definitely not prepared for it.
