"ENOUGH!" With hands over her ears Betty stares with tears rolling down her cheeks at her angry parents.
"You don't talk to us like that Elizabeth." Alice Cooper stormed out fire in her eyes. "Lower your hands from your ears. Only a little baby holds their heads like that."
"Leave Betty alone Alice." Hal snared. He moved a little closer to his youngest. Trying to protect her from his wife.
"Stop babying Elizabeth Hal." Alice screamed. "Do as I say Elizabeth and lower those damn fucking hands."
Hal knew his wife was in a dangerous place right now. He didn't want Betty to see it. He also knew Betty was fast coming to her own dangerous place also. But he couldn't protect his daughter the way he wanted. He had to deal with his wife. That way he could protect his daughter. He gently backed Betty closer to the front door. "Betty I want you to go to the Pembroke."
"NO FUCKING WAY WILL ELIZABETH GO TO THE FUCKING PEMBROKE! SHE IS NOT GOING TO THOSE VILE FUCKING PEOPLE!" Alice stormed over to where her husband was trying to get their daughter out of the house.
"ENOUGH!" Betty cried out fearfully this time. Her wide blue green eyes were staring at her mother. Granted over the years she and her mother had gone head to head. But never in her life has she ever seen her mother lose control like this before.
"Go darling." Hal turned to face his daughter fully. "I'll come get you when it's safe."
"Dad." Betty spoke in a broken voice.
"Go." Hal opened the door. Knowing that Alice wouldn't dream of letting anyone outside listen to her screaming. "It's going to be all right." He looked searching into her eyes hoping to see some of the innocence of her baby hood still inside her.
"Go to your room Elizabeth." Alice stood full and tall. "Now!"
Betty looked over her father's shoulder into her mother's hate filled blazing eyes.
"Baby girl go." Hal soft voice spoke.
Betty met her father's eyes and nodded. She left the house. As the door shut she heard her mother screaming vile hateful things. With tears rolling down her eyes she ran down the porch; down the driveway and onto the sidewalk. She wanted to get as far away from her house as fast as she could. She wanted to get where it was safe.
She wanted. She needed the safety of Veronica's arms. She never remembered how she got to the Pembroke. All she knew was one minute she was sprinting down her street to get away from her angry mother and the next second she was safe in Veronica's arms.
"I got you baby. I got you." Veronica whispered in her girlfriend's ear as she gently held her shaking crying girlfriend. She felt her soulmate tighten her gripe on her back, trying to pull herself inside her. She repeatedly kissed Betty's forehead as her foot finally managed to shut the door.
Hiram frowned darkly as he leaned against the wall. There was going to be seriously hell to pay once he was finished with the Cooper family.
Author's Note: I have taken part of the Story Chain Challenge over at the Riverdale FanFiction Challenge forum. I have decided to group my entries into one story. I have a feeling that my entries are going to be in the line of one complete story.
