The Queen has Fallen- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

22

*Natalie's POV

"I know you can hear me!" I yelled out. "Damn it, Malach-"

"Hey baby..." he leaned up against the open door.

"Let me go," I gritted through my teeth.

"Now you know that's not going to happen."

"Malachai I swear I'm go-"

"Malachai."

"Hold that thought baby," he turned to Chris who was holding something.

"We've got a situation."

"What are you talking about," Malachai hissed.

"Uhm..."

"Out with it," he snapped.

"I can't tell you," Chris answered. "Not in front of..."

They turned and looked at me.

"Tell you what," Malachai spoke up. "If you be a good girl I'll let you out of here," he bent down to my level.

"Screw you."

"Suit yourself," he clasped his hands together and stood up.

"Wait... wait..." I began to get up but he quickly closed the door.

"Malachai!" I yelled banging on the door.

"Malachai!"

*Sweet Pea's POV

"We've been searching all day," I pounded on the table. "And you just want us to stop looking?" I glared at Jughead.

"Sweet Pea," Jughead sighed. "It's going to be dark soon and we can't have anymore people roaming around the woods, so the gro-"

"You're out of your goddamn mind," I got closer to him. "If you really think I'm going to listen to you," I gritted.

"That's enough."

It got quiet and we all turned around to see FP and Derek.

"There will still be a small group out there looking for her," Derek firmly placed his hand on my shoulder. "Don't you worry."

But that's all I could do.

Worry.

*Natalie's POV

"Where is she?"

What?

I heard commotion coming from outside.

"I ha-"

"Where is she?"

"Sweet Pea?" I muttered.

"Whe-"

"Sweet Pea!" I shouted getting up and going to the door.

"In here!" I began to bang on the door.

*Malachai's POV (hours before)

"Give me the damn phone," I snatched it away from Chris.

"You're changing the plan," I scoffed bringing the phone up to my ear.

"You need to listen to me closely," I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "They're closing in on us and fast. I can't have this trace back to me."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Get out of there."

"What abo..." the line went dead.

"You've got to be kidding me," I shoved the phone into Chris' chest.

"What's wrong?"

"The plan has gone to shit and we have to go now," I hurried off into the other room.

*Natalie's POV (present)

I heard more yelling coming from the outside but it soon died down. I stepped back as I began to hear footsteps approaching. My heartbeat began to quicken as I heard the door being unlocked.

I squinted and shielded my eyes as I was hit with the flashlight's bright light.

"Mij-"

"FP," I quickly rushed over to the group in front of me and went directly towards FP. "I'm so sorry," I whispered.

"It's okay," he hugged me back tightly. "I'm here. I got you."

"I knew you would come and find me," I pulled away from his embrace.

"Don't I get a hello?"

"Derek?" I was confused to see him here.

"Hey girlie," he laughed as I went to go hug him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well we heard what was going on so we decided to come down and help," he smiled.

"It's good to see you again, Mija." I turned and saw Hiram.

"Where's Sweet Pea," I ignored him and looked at FP. "I heard him yelling."

"Come on," FP placed an arm around me. "They're all waiting for you." We walked down the small dark hallway and out to the room where I was being held when I first got here.

"Natalie," Jughead rushed over to me.

"Juggie," I whispered pulling him into a hug.

"We're glad you're okay Natalie," I smiled at Betty as I held onto Jughead until my eyes landed on a certain person.

"Sweet Pea," I whispered as I slowly let Jughead go.

"Princess," he smiled.

"Sweet Pea," I quickly rushed over to him and hugged him tightly as if I was holding onto him for dear life.

"You're here," he whispered. "I was looking everywhere for you."

"I love you," I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face.

"What?"

"I love you," I repeated.

"I love you, too." He replied and kissed me gently.

"I always have."

"Uh Uhm..." I rolled my eyes as someone cleared their throat.

"Don't worry, Fangs." I looked at him. "I missed you too," I chuckled as I still hugged Sweet Pea from the side. "You're still my number one, deep down." I joked making everyone else laugh.

"Good to know," he smiled.

"Let's get the hell out of here," FP announced. "And go home."

A coarse of yeses sounded out through the room.

"Of course," Hiram agreed. "And Natalie will be coming to stay at the Pembrooke," he added. 

"What," my hands instantly dropped.

"Well I mean you were taken from your own trailer and you are my daughter," the room got quiet as he blurted out the whole thing.

"She will be staying with us," FP intervened. "Just like old times. Right Natalie?"

"Y-yeah..."

"You see," FP patted Hiram's back roughly. "She wants to stay with her true family," FP emphasized the last part.

"Come on guys," FP began to walk to the door.

"Let's go home." He opened the door and stared back at everyone, but more specifically at Hiram.

A/N: it's a bit of a short one. I'm sorry I was supposed to update last night but I didn't. I know I wasn't gone for that long but it just takes some time to jump back into things, you know? Anyways... here it is.... Where do you think Malachai went? What kind of tricks does Hiram have up his sleeve? Are Natalie and Sweet Pea finally going to be together? Where is Toni?

Enjoy. x
