“Hi, my sister got a laptop (not chromebook), but once the malware protection ran out she could no longer gain access to her computer until she paid. Will this happen with a chromebook? Will I be required to pay a monthly fee to gain access to the laptop?”

No, with a Chromebook anti virus protection is provided by the Google Server that you will be working through. This service is free.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Honestly that situation you're describing sounds more like the malware protection was itself a virus. You should get that old laptop checked out and have it removed. Chromebooks come standard with multiple layers of security; unless you do something really stupid with it, viruses won't be able to affect it.
