Riley: A Riverdale FanFic

Chapter Tweleve: The Death to end all deaths.

Riley's POV.

When I was out of sight of the wyrm I sprinted. I didn't know where I was going. I stumbled upon a place called Pickens park. I saw a guy standing around in a black hood with a gun. You think I would of run but tonight I cared about nothing.

"Hey tough guy!" The guy in the hood turned looking at me. "That gun just for show or what!?" Instead of shooting he sprinted after me. I ran out onto a road and he followed me. I surprised him by jumping out from behind some trees. Now I'm on him, switch in hand but I'm not cutting him, just beating him. I bet his gun and toss it away from him. I threw my switch knowing he couldn't do anything now. I kept beating and beating and beating him. He stopped moving and I got up kicking his stomach and jumping on his ribs. I'm back on him now, his ribs that I'd broken cracking beneath me. I hear someone running towards me but I don't stop.

"Oh my god Archie!" Betty screams. Watching me beat the shit out of someone isn't normal for her but I can't stop. Archie doesn't step in once he sees the switch and the gun. "Call JugHead!" She screams. And he does. Soon I hear sirens and motorcycles but I don't stop.

"Step away from the man." It's the sheriff. I don't stop just yet but my hits are getting less frequent, I'm burning out.

"Riley stop, you have to stop!" JugHead screams. I ignore him. I'm panting so heavily when a pair of arms pull me off of the man. I'm to tired to fight and just let them me drag them away.

When I'm off the body I hear gasps from the people at the scene.

"Oh my god, it's the black hood." Archie says. Him JugHead and Betty are staring at the body. I see Fangs and Toni in front of me which means Sweet Pea is holding me. I'm mad but grateful, if he wasn't holding me up I'd collapse.

"Kids back up!" Yells the sheriff. He puts two fingers on his bloody neck. The freezes.

"What is it sheriff." JugHead asks shaken up that the murderer who terrorized the town is lying in front of them.

"He's dead, the blade, there isn't any blood on it, the gun still has all the bullets."

"Where are you going with this Keller." FP asks now able to address the situation.

"She beat him to death." The whole crowd looks at me limp in Sweet Pea's arms.

"Who is he?" Archie asks. "Who is he!" He yells this time wanting to know who shot his dad.

They pulled off the mask, you could barely recognize him but I was mr.svenson. The Riverdale high school Janitor. Oh my gods we're heard throughout the whole crowd.

"We have to take her to the station for questioning. Put her in the car." I'm too tired to object.

"I'm going with her." Sweet Pea Said.

"Alright kid get in the car." Says sheriff Keller. They put me in the car and drove me to the station.

We get there and they bring me into a room with a table and a chair on each side. They made Sweet Pea stay in the hallway. I'm sitting in one chair and sheriff Keller in the other.

"So did he come at you?" I nodded. "Did he aim the gun at you?" I shook my head no. "So this was self defence?" I nod. "He was chasing you?" I nod again. "Were you aware the black hood was a wanted killer." I shook my head no because I heard a little bit but didn't know how many people he really killed and tried to kill. "Can you confirm your answers verbally?"
"Okay." I Said and he asked me every question over so I could respond verbally.

"Can I have a cigarette?" I asked quietly and he shook his head.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." He left me alone in the room.

Sweet Pea's POV.

I'm pacing in the hallway. FP and JugHead have arrived along with Betty, Archie and other serpents. I heard Archie say Veronica is coming but I don't know why she would need to. Alice and Fred are here now to.

"What's going on?" Fred asked looking at his soon confused.

"Dad, the black hood we caught him. And he is dead." Archie explains, Fred looks confused but relieved.

"What how?" He explains in disbelief. JugHead sighs.

"Remember my cousin I told you about, Riley, the loose cannon?" Fred nods. "She beat him to death." The whole room pauses.

"Oh my god Betty your okay." Alice said running over to hug her daughter.

"Yeah mom i am." She smiles hugging her mom.

"Pea stop pacing your gonna put a hole in the floor." Toni said grabbing my arm.

"I can't why are they questioning her the black hood is dead, what do they need her." Toni shrugged. Then sheriff Keller came out into the hallway. We all stopped and looked at him.

"By the looks of her statement it looks like Riley won't be charged." I breathed a sigh of relief. "But I have to do a few more questions and see if she needs professional mental treatment."

"Why, why does she need treatment?" FP said getting worried.

"She beat a man to death Mr.Jones." Explained the sheriff. "And from what we know so far, she didn't even know he was a wanted killer." With that he disappeared back into the room. I put my back to the wall and slid down my head in my hands. God what have I done?

Riley's POV.

After fifthteen minutes the sheriff reentered the room. "Okay Riley we have a few more questions. We will need you to answer verbally and explain your reasonings when asked."

"Okay." I Said.

"Did you purposefully kill him?"

"No"

"Then why didn't you stop beating him?"

"I didn't know he was dead."

"Why did you throw your weapon, why did you not use it?"

"Because if I could reach it I would of killed him on purpose." He nodded at my response.

"Okay why did you decide to keep hitting him after he had no weapon?"

"Because he could of strangled me or got mine. I had to knock him out."

"Okay, c'mon lets bring you out with the rest I need to discuss a few things with your uncle." I nodded and got up to follow him out of the room. The whole hallway falls silent when I walk in. FP runs over and hugs me. I don't hug him back my arms lay limp bye my sides and my eyes feel so heavy. He lets me go and looks at me.

"God kid, I'm happy your okay."

"Mr.Jones a word." The sheriff called to him, they disappear into a room and I'm left to face the rest of the crowd in the hallway.

"Your a hero." Archie says, his hug is also not reciprocated. I'm stone faced and emotionless. I feel the fear in the room.

"Thanks for finally putting us at peace." A man held his hand out to me. I shook it lightly my arms were sore and my hands were sore from punching.

"We have to interview you for the register, an expose about the town hero." Alice says getting excited.

"Mom does she look like she is ready for an interview?" Betty asks and Alice stops asking questions.

FP comes back and wraps an arm around me. "Well kid you gave the town the best Christmas gift ever. Lets go home." I feel my knees buckle in under me from being exhausted, Sweet Pea who hasn't said anything to me catches me in his arms and picks me up.

"We'll take her in the truck, you'll never get her home on bike like that." I heard Archie say before completely passing out from exhaustion.
