"Cheryl's missing, I went to her house. Her mum said she's gone to a boarding school, knowing Cheryl. She'll be posting a photo every ten minutes. Her profiles are dead." She rushed the words out.

"Toni, breathe. We'll find her-."

"Lucifer!" Klaus popped into the doorframe. "Jug and Betty's thing at school for student body is about to begin."

"Oh shit. Toni, come with us." Grabbing her hand and dragging Toni by the hand, we drove to the high school. Walking into the hall, I spotted the boys. "Go and sit with Sweetpea and Fangs, I'll be with my dad. Ok?" I squeezed her shoulder, her nodding. I made my way with Klaus through the full isles of people, eventually coming to dad. Who saved two seats for us, sitting beside him. He kissed my head in a 'hello' way.

"What took you two so long?" He whispered.

"Explain later." I patted his knee, my attention landed on Jughead on stage. With Betty by his side. Seeing Veronica and Archie together, with Reggie and Josie on the end. Alice addressed the ceremony.

"Just a quick reminder that this is a PTA sponsored event. Oh! We have our first question." Alice pointed to someone in the crowd.

"Yeah." Sweetpea. "No offence to the current administration, but it feels like no one's looking out for the students being bused in from the Southside. Will that change?"

"Absolutely, sweet pea. It's our priority. No one should be marginalised or excluded here." That's my boy.

"Jughead and I will be representing all students, north and Southside alike." Betty explained further.

"Next question." Alice quickly said before her daughter could say anything further. "Yes, midge."

"My question is for Archie and Veronica. Rumour has it. Your parents will soon be on opposite side of the mayoral election. Won't that negatively affect your working relationship?"

"Archie and I adhere to the old maxim: that politics are never discussed at the dinner or the cafeteria table." Veronica made the crowd laugh, then my heart ached when Archie included.

"Veronica and I are on the same page about everything, including her family's plans for a prison on the Southside." The crowd didn't quite like that either, watching Veronica's glare to Archie. I just shook my head.

"In the meantime, we're committed to improving life at Riverdale high. Which means-."

Reggie and I agree, except add the fact that we can, and will, deliver results." Josie interrupted.

"And we're chill, unlike these guys." I couldn't of help chuckle at Reggie's comment with the rest of the crowd. With the politic session coming to an end, Klaus and I left the hall. Looking for Toni, my eyes scanned the hall. Spotting dad and Alice in a serious conversation.

"I'll be right back, keep looking for Toni." I patted Klaus arms, strolling over. I interrupted their conversation. "What's going on over here?"

"The living arrangements of Betty." Dad explained.

"Fp! Don't bring-!" Alice raised her voice, I quickly shut her up.

"Alice. There is no need to raise your voice, Betty and jug have been migrating from the trailer to my house. The house I live in is three stories and Klaus and I made sure they had their own rooms. Now excuse me, I've got things to do." I stood up for dad, walking back off. I heard the last bit of their conversation.

"Your daughter is definitely like you."

"She is, But she's more like her mother."

The next day rolled around quickly, where the queen and the underage bar tender went back to the high school. Toni rushing to the gym as the queen had to sign in to be on school grounds. Walking to the gym, she rested against the doorframe, hearing the girls talk.

"Her social media's been dead for days." Toni stated to Veronica and Josie.

"Wait. That's a sure sign of foul play." Veronica realised.

"Yeah." Toni folded her arms.

"Whatever you need, Toni. I'm in."

"Me, too." Josie added after Veronica. "Even if we have to storm thistlehouse."

"That's why I've got her." Toni looked over to me, I winked at her while Josie looked confused and Veronica looked confident.

"Is that Jugheads sister? How's she gonna help?" Josie asked, curious. Studying me from afar.

"She's the queen of the serpents, she's a piece of work if I do say myself." Toni replied, explaining.

All the girls following, I drove us four to thistlehouse. Where memories scattered all over the place of when Klaus and I broke in when Jug was younger. Walking up to the front door, Veronica knocked three times like any classical movie. Seeing Cheryl's mother open the door, she scoffed. Rolling her eyes, she went to close the door. Pressing my hand against the door, wedging my combat boot in the frame. Her eyes widened at my strength. "We need to have a chat, about Cheryl." I ordered, her allowing us in. We headed into the lounge room. Seeing Cheryl's nan, the girls took a seat. While I stood beside them. The room smelling it's usual mixed smell of herbs and flowers.

"Now That You've barged your way in, go ahead, girls. Ask your questions." Cheryl's mother came in, her perfume smell making my stomach turn.

"You said Cheryl was away at some boarding school?" Toni begun.

"Honestly, I'm not in the habit of explaining myself to school girls." Mrs blossom silenced Toni.

"Maybe not, Mrs blossom, but you may have heard that my mother...is dating Sheriff Keller." Josie stated. "If you won't tell us, then maybe you'll tell him and Lucifer here, she's the queen of the serpents. She might be able to get answers out of you easier ."

"Alright then." Mrs Blossom started. "The truth is that Cheryl started exhibiting strange, deviant behaviour." She walked over to the coffee table, bringing out a piece of paper. "So, I sent her abroad to a wellness institute where they're trying to help her. You don't have to believe me. But let me show you something." Josie reached to the paper, opening it. My eyes widened seeing a very realistic drawing of Cheryl and Josie.

"Oh, my god." Josie commented.

"She's drawn dozens like it."

"I don't understand." Veronica replied to Mrs Blossom.

"No, but Josie does, don't you? Cheryl was obsessed with you. To a point I was afraid she might hurt you...or herself, or both. So, if you'd like me to tell that to your mother and her boyfriend, and show them, and the town, Cheryl's drawings of you, I'd be happy to. But hopefully you have the decency to keep this private." Being excused from the manner of sin, Josie started storming back to the impala.

"Josie! Slow down, we need to regroup." Toni called out to her, Josie spun around to a stop.

"If What Mrs Blossom said is even a bit true, that means Cheryl threatened me, sent me a bloody pigs heart. I'm out guys, I'm done. Lucifer, can you drive me home please."

"Sure." Josie getting into the car, Veronica, Josie and I exchanged looks. Veronica heading into the backseat with Josie, my vision became fuzzy and my body swayed.

"Whoa, You ok?" Toni asked, grabbing my arm to keep me up right. She helped me to the front of the car, leaning against the front of the car. I held onto my stomach as well as my head. "Lucifer?"

"I'm ok, I'm ok. Can you drive?" I brought out the keys from my pocket.

"Yeah, sure." She took the keys, helping me to my door. Getting in, she closed my door for me. Dropping Josie and Veronica off, Toni parked in front of my house. The aches and pains growing that I was in tears. "Luc-."

"G-get K-Klaus." I managed to spit out, Toni rushing out the car door. She screamed Klaus's name at the top of her lungs.

"Klaus! Klaus!" Hearing the front door slam, I looked and saw Klaus jogging down the front stairs.

"Toni, what's wrong?"

"It's Lucifer, she's in pain. She's holding her stomach and her head." Toni rushed, stressed. Klaus opening my car door, he crouched down. Holding my face, knowing by the look. It was something relating to the baby.

"Toni, get in." Klaus bossed, her rushing in the backseat. Klaus drove to the hospital, not caring where he parked. He picked me up bridal style, sprinting inside and to the front desk.

"I need a doctor, now!" Klaus exclaimed, seeing a stretcher come out of nowhere. Klaus placed me down gently, speed walking along with the doctors and Toni. "Her name is Lucifer Jones, she's 5-7 weeks pregnant-." Toni interrupted her.

"She's pregnant?!" Toni shouted.

"Yes." Klaus looked to her.

"Sir, please wait here." The doctor told Klaus to do.

"Klaus." I whimpered.

"I'm not going anywhere baby." Klaus reassured me.

While the queen was being tested, the king waited with the underage bar tender. His head in his hands, the young girl trying to comfort her friend. She made conversation. "Why don't you want people to know about Lucifers pregnancy?"

"We just want it to be our little secret, that's why I need you to keep it to yourself. Ok?" Klaus looked up at the brown and pink haired girl. "Not even Fp or jug know."

"Of course." She smiled shyly.

"Thank you Toni." Klaus kissed her head, wrapping an arm around her. She leant into him, while all that was running through the kings head was the love of his life and his baby.
