Jughead Jones?

Part 12

|| Jughead POV ||

Riding my bike around town was something I would usually do when I wanted to clear my mind about things, the lies, the hurt, the sorrow and the magic that left Riverdale when Hiram put his dirty paws into the soil of our town.
We were getting closer to figuring out who the gargoyle king was, I knew it but today we were bailing Archie out of prison, well everyone else was, I had investigating to do.

Tallboy was dead, right? Sam killed him! Nope. He was alive but what the hell I just discovered was that he was one of the gargoyle kings, we used Archie as bait for Hiram but instead we got the Blossom we didn't except.

🕶

I got back into the bunker and saw Fangs and Sweetpea panicking "What's going in here?" I asked and then I saw it, Tallboy was really dead on the floor.

"he tried to escape and we-we tried to put him back but he-I shot him and now he's dead Jughead! What do we do?!" Fangs was a blubbering mess.

"Hey! Let's throw a party! As a distraction." They looked at me in shock.

"what?" Fangs asked.

"don't worry just act normal and it will be fine." They both nodded and we wrapped up Tallboy and buried him.

🕶

The party was going fine, until police sirens were loud and the lights were flashing, the car pulled up and I heard Fangs say to Sweet pea "shit they know about Tallboy." I shot them a panicked but stern glare and they shut up and they put their heads down. the sheriff got out of the car with his head down and walked up to us, I jumped out of the ute and he lifted his head up, I was in shock and I laughed slightly.

"Dad?" I asked.

"it's sheriff Jones now, Boy." We all started cheering "listen up! You're looking at the new law, in Riverdale!" We all cheered louder and Dad winked at me. Things got better for once.

|| Sam POV ||

I was at Pops , helping out the best I could by working there with him, it was busy but it was fun! "two baskets of fries and two chocolate milkshakes!" I yelled and Thomas put his thumbs up and got to work.

To be fair, it was hard work but it was good to get my mind off the things I went through during the runaway.

🕶

it was 3:30am and Pop told me that I needed rest so I could go, he paid me and I smiled and got changed into my normal clothing and left for home.

Walking down the street alone was something I had grown used to, a flashback hit me like a truck as I was walking home and it scared me:

"what do you want from me, Tallboy?"  I snarled as he approached me.

"aw looks like we have a runaway bunny!" He laughs and grabs me by the throat and started clenching his hand tighter around it, I pulled my pocket knife from my back pocket and slammed it into his side and I sliced him open, he lets go of me and he punched me right in the stomach, my mouth , my nose and my eyes until I passed out from being lightheaded.

I woke up one the side of the road and I jolted up and looked for my clothing, they were gone... fuck. I grabbed my bag that was thrown and started putting the clothes I had in my bag, onto my body straight away.

Shivering as I walked , I was faced with another problem... the gargoyle gang was around these areas and I was a deer that could feed their predictors easily.
Out of nowhere I was ambushed by the gang and I started fighting: punches kicked , knuckle dusters and stabbing was everywhere, 1 against 7 was tough, they broke my wrists and they broke my ribs but I stabbed them all and told them to send a message to Hiram, to bring it all on me and see where it gets him, I'm after you lodge.

(Flashback over)

I sat on the curb with my head in my hands and the tears wetting the ends of my hair which was stuck to my face, I was scared. What was his next move? What would he do to me? Then that thought hit me, FP came and got me way too quickly, that's not the FP I know, he would of lectured me until I was Brain dead about how stupid I was for being alone. I stand to my feet and raced home.

😂

"FORSYTHE PENDLETON JONES JR!" I screamed and he looks over from the TV to me, he expression was in horror, I never raised my voice at him but oh he was in trouble now "why didn't you lecture me when I left Jughead and Archie at Gladys' junkyard?" I crossed my arms and stared him down.

"because Sammy-" I put my hand up.

you don't get to call me that! You work for Hiram! You're a sheriff now, FP, he asked you to get me because I sent a message back from one of his goons to get him to come fight me, so you being you since you're king shit had to agree or he would harm JB or Jughead." There it was, the guilt look "you also have something you're not telling anyone with Hermoine either." I growled and he sunk into the chair more "griffin and gargoyles huh? FP? Fun game I heard death is the new perfume of this haywire's town? Say didn't you play that game with the midnight club 25 years ago?" He stands up.

"shut your mouth." He threatens.

"or what? FP Jones jr! What are you going to do?" I walked away and he grabbed my arm and stared me down.

"don't do this Sammy, please." He begged.

"do what? Talk to Hermione or tell Jughead everything I know and figured out by walking 23days." I sighed and tears fell from my eyes, he wiped them away and pulls me into a hug "what are you up to FP? Please what are you going to do? I don't want something bad to happen to you." I cried into his chest.

"all I can tell you is, is that I owe her big time now Sammy, I'm sorry but I promise that you will be safe now and forever." I nodded and he didn't let go of me "come on babycakes, it's time you got some rest now okay?" I nodded and he picked me up and carried me to Jughead's room and laid me onto the bed. he moved my hair out of my face and I stared at him "night Sammy." He smiled and I bit my lip so I could stop crying.

"night FP." He kisses my forehead and leaves the room and I kept thinking until I wore myself out and fell asleep.
