A/N: 50K!? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

At Midge's funeral, Cheryl stood front with the Vixens and she sang. I cried silently, she didn't deserve it. I hold Fangs hand and I look up at him to see him look down.

We walk forward after the others and place a rose on the coffin. "I could've stopped it" I whisper to Fangs. "No, you couldn't, it had already happened when you were knocked out, whoever it was, had already done it" Fangs says. I let my hand linger on the coffin.

"Come on" Fangs says and pulls my closer to him and we walk back. Sweet Pea gives me a sad smile and I try to smile back.

I feel so guilty. I let my hand run over the thin plaster on my forehead from the cut.

"I also feel it is my duty to say that like the Furies of Ancient Greece, who pursue blood atonement when a crime's committed, the Vixens and I vow that we will not rest until those responsible for the murder of our sister is tightly punished" Cheryl speaks up.

"So, What? We're suspecting that there's another Black Hood out there?" I ask Archie. I recognise that look in his eyes, which tells me, he has a plan. "Yes" Archie says.

I sigh and check the time on my phone before looking back up at Archie. "And where are you planning on going?" I ask him. I'm still pissed at him. But I'm not gonna let him go freaky Archie again. It's scary when he's like that.

"Nowhere..." Archie says, buuuuuuut he's lying. "Let's go, I'm coming with you" I say and we get in my car but Archie's about to protest.
"Why? Why are you doing this? I thought you were mad at me?" He asks.

"I am. But remember last time it went to do something like this? On the Southside? That's the reason I'm coming with you, so give me the directions" I say and Archie gives me them.

We roll up in front of Mr. Svensons house and I raise an eyebrow. "Mr. Svenson is dead...Archie, what are you hoping to find here?" I ask as we get out of my car.

"Something, I don't know yet" Archie answers. "Well, let's get started so I can get back to my boyfriend" I say and walk up to the house with Archie trailing behind me.

As Archie tries to peak through the blocked windows I stand behind him and wait for him to finish, when a black figure runs past us.

"Archie!" I hiss and he sees the figure and jumps down. "Who's there?" He calls out and I roll my eyes. Yeah, like they're actually gonna tell you when you ask?!

"Where are you going!?" I hiss and follow Archie as he walks around the house, as we do we see a black figure with their back to us. "Archie..."

"Who are you? And why the hell are you following me?" Archie half shouts and I follow him with hasty steps.

The person turns around and the face is just black. Then a pair of arms grab me from behind and I scream. "ARCHIE!!" He turns around only to be hit and kicked as he falls to the ground. I fight off the black dudes and kick them where sun doesn't shine and flip the other one over my shoulder so he lands on his back, as I straighten myself another black figure stands in front of me.

"Maia" it says, that's when I realise I know that voice, and that's when I realise who it is. And that's when I say his name—his fist meets my face and I blackout.

Then only thing I got out before everything turned black; "Nick St. Clair"

•••

I wake up to Nick's voice speaking, the word 'Ronnie' makes me realise he's talking in the phone. I groggily lift my head and look around, then I discover I'm tied to a chair.

"Archie" I mumble against the cloth in my mouth as I see two guys holding Archie in place as Nick talks with Veronica.

I fight to get the cloth out and as I succeed and it moves to my chin instead I scream. "VERONICA HELP!!"

"Shut up!!" Nick shouts at me and his hand connects with my—already—bruises and sore cheek, my head flies to the side and I stop screaming and I breathe heavily.

"You're fucking insane!" I spit. "My boyfriend and my friends will kill you" I hiss at him.

Ohhh boy when the Serpents gets a hand on him, he's dead. He's soooo dead.

Which reminds me, why am I always getting into trouble when I go with Archie??

Another slap makes my head fly to the side again and I groan in pain. The stinging in my cheek doesn't get any better.

"You're such a bitch, I get why Veronica wanted you as her friend" Nick taunts in my ear and I almost throw up in disgust over him.

"Oh, So now you can't talk?"

Nick punches me again and this time my lip busts and blood runs out of my mouth. As Nick got closer to see his work, I spit the blood in his face and grin at him.

"You don't understand, you have to let us go. There's a killer in the loose. The Black Hood. You heard about him" Archie says.

"I thought he was dead" Nick says with a sigh. "He may not be" Archie says.

"And, Nick, my dad.....he may be in danger" Archie finishes and my eyes tear up at the thought of Fred dying. And the whole shit ride for Archie if it happens.

"Sucks to be your dad" Nick says carelessly. "You sick bastard" I spit at Nick. "You're seriously doing this because I punched you?" Archie butts in.

"You. Veronica. Maia. The Pussycats. My father is this close to disowning me! He says I'm an embarrassment. That I'll never have the guts to be in the family business. Well, you're gonna help me prove him wrong. I'm gonna make my bones with you, Andrews" Nick says and starts taking his jacket off and the two guys grabs Archie to hold him still and I close my eyes when is see what's coming.

"ARCHIE!!" My screams echoes in the warehouse we're in.

•••

As Nick beat Archie up, and Archie couldn't fight back, the two guys turned to me, Nick made a call and I move my head when one of them tries to grab my chin.

"Do you even think anyone's looking for her?" One of the dude asks the other.

"Her? Maia Anderson? Everyone wants to get rid of her, nobody wants her, especially not with her father. Trust me, nobody's looking for her" They snicker. The pain in my heart almost makes me scream, but I can't get a sound out.

I realise I don't have someone like Veronica on my side, Archie's gonna get free because of Veronica, but does anyone even know I'm gone? Did Fangs notice? Did my mom?

Did the girls? The Serpents?

"Maia....don't listen to them" Archie half whispers. I miss Fangs, please tell me he's looking for me. Please. Just him, I don't care about anyone else, just Fangs.

Tears run down my bloody cheeks, but I can't feel them anymore. "It's alright, Andrews. She knows what her father has done, she knows why no one's looking for her. She knows" They say, then turn to me before punching me again.

•••

Archie and I watch the computer with the surveillance cameras from the hotel room with Veronica and Nick. I feel so sorry for Archie.

Archie kicks the desk and rocks himself back so the chair breaks. He hurried to untie my ropes and hits the guy that comes in. "Archie!"

Archie grabs my hand and we run, but as we're about to get to the exit, the other guy comes towards us and we hide.

Archie and I run around the barrels and run behind the guy and then outside.

"Go get Veronica! I'll get someone" I tell Archie and he nods before bringing me into a hug. "Don't let What they said get into your head, it's not true, you know that" Archie says in my ear and I nod before pulling away. "Go!"

Archie starts running down the road, I look back at the warehouse before starting to run, I feel a pain in my stomach as I do so, I stop and groan and put my hand on my rips.

I lift my shirt and see a bruise. Fuck you Nick. I hope Archie kills you. I clench my jaw and suck in the pain and start running again.

I have to get out of here. I run the same way the Archie did until I make it to Pop's it's the fastest way to get someone.

"Pop! Help me!" I gasp as I get inside and almost fall on the ground. Other costumers turns to me and Pop hurries towards me. 

"Maia? What happened?" Pop asks and I have a hard time breathing properly as I hold onto my rips in pain. "Maia?" I land on my knees and bend over and hold my stomach.

"Call Fangs" I get out through gritted teeth. After Pop has helped me up again, I sit in a booth. 8 minutes later to be exact, Fangs, Sweet Pea, Toni and Jughead bursts in.

I stand up wobbly, and Fangs grabs me and pull me into his arms and chest. "I've been looking everywhere for you, Maia! What happened to you?" Fangs half shouts and I let tears fall and Sweet Pea, Jughead and Toni all looks at each other as they see my face.

"Who are we killing and where is he?" Toni growls angrily. "Don't leave me, Fangs. Don't ever leave me" I whisper in tears to Fangs.

The four younger Serpents shares a look and then looks at me.

A/N: Hope you liked it! Do you think Maia finally broke? Will she be able to put up her walls for when her father returns?

Also I'm sorry for not posting the last couple of days, it's been pretty rough for me the last couple of days and I haven't been able to make myself post. But I'm back now and I will make it up to you!
