The instant Betty was on Riverdale high grounds everyone was looking at the odd couple, the blond good girl of the school and the Serpent Prince.

"The hills have eyes" Jughead muttered as he helped Betty off the bike, Betty smirked, and hoped off the bike and handing his helmet back to him

"Let them look, clearly they have nothing better to do" Betty smiled, she truly as sick of people judging her and telling her what she could and couldn't do and who she could and couldn't hang around with. Most of the people in her group wasn't her friend three years ago, Jughead had been her constant through elementary school, middle school and the first year of high school, the past two years she truly had missed him, the authenticity of their conversations the truth of his comments and asking how she is or was. No fake smiles, no pretending, no asking and then turning the conversation to someone else, typically back to the person who asked the question, using it as a starter to turn the conversation back to the selfish individual.

"Betty Cooper, you shock me" Jughead smirked, and Betty blushed that smirk doing unusual things to her, things she hadn't felt before.

"Well it shouldn't matter who I am friends with" Betty smiled, the two walked in sync into the school building, as soon as Betty opened Riverdale Highs front doors, she was grabbed by Chuck Clayton, and pulled away from Jughead "Hey" Betty snapped

"Betty, Betty, Betty" Chuck tutted, the group stood behind him, clearly Archie had beaten the duo to school and informed the group of what happened probably giving them his warped version of the confrontation outside their house.

"Elizabeth why are you associating yourself with the riff raff of Riverdale?" Cheryl asked pretending to care, only really worried about Betty's reputation and by domino affect her own reputation. How would it look if a River Vixen was associating with a Serpent? Not good in the red heads eyes.

"Chuck let go" Jughead seethed, taking Betty's wrist, and gently pulling her back to the safety of his embrace, but failing due to Chuck's vice like grip.

"Or what Donnie Darko?" Chuck smirked

"Chuck. GET OFF" Betty snapped, she truly was sick of people pulling her around, she was an object, she was a human being a sentient being. She wasn't some porcelain doll for Christ sake.

"Well we wouldn't want you to be accosted by this" Chuck motioned to Jughead's presence

"The only person I am being accosted by is you Chuck" Betty wrenched her arm from his grip resisting the urge to sooth the ache in her arm. She stepped back closer to Jughead

"Baby…" Chuck tried again

"I am not your baby, Chuck, I was never your baby and I will never be your baby" Betty snapped, walking around the group and down the hall

"Wasn't what you were saying last year" Chuck smirked, and watched as the blood left Betty's face, she was frozen. What did he mean? Was it that night? "If I remember right you seemed to like it" The slap cracked off the walls of Riverdale high, and Chuck's head snapped to the left, nobody had seen Betty move, and only realised that it was Betty by her being in front of the football captain, and her hand print on Chuck's face. Betty was breathing hard desperately trying to keep her emotions in check, images flashing through her brain, words, comments, little snippets, but they refused to merge together to give her the full picture.

"Betty" Archie cried shocked by Betty's actions, she had never in all the years he knew her been a violent person, a passionate person but never violent. However, Betty wasn't in the present too lost in the images, tears collecting in her eyes. Chuck advanced on Betty, eyes burning with anger, but Jughead pulled her behind his back, the duo know backed up by Toni, Sweet- Pea and Fangs

"Back off Chuck, you've done enough damage" Jughead snapped, and then promptly turned on his heel and guided Betty down the hall into the blue and gold by passing their lockers.

"Chuck" Jason screamed, he couldn't find the couple, Chuck had hide them in a bush, Betty pressed to his chest hand over her mouth not allowing her to scream for help.

A rip

A scream

A Snap

A punch

A Kick

Blood, lots and lots of blood.

Cold

Sticks digging into her back,

Mud in her hair.

Salt

Tears, her tears.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Jason screamed finally finding the two of them, Betty with a bruised jaw, desperately fighting off Chuck, but the boy was so much taller and heavier than Betty. Jason grabbed Betty and pulled her behind him, keeping her a safe distance from Chuck Clayton.

"What she was clearly liking it" Chuck smiled, but there was something in that smiled it sent chills down Betty and Jason's spine

"When a woman says No Chuck, she means NO" Jason advanced on the footballer. "Did your mother not treat you to respect women?" Jason snapped, this was unacceptable, and he was going to inform everyone else, and Sheriff Keller when they returned form the camping trip. In fact, the camping trip was over, he wasn't going to spend another night in the company of Chuck Clayton.

"Oh, come on, the way she dresses? She's asking for it. Those shorts? The Cheerleader outfits, her swimming costume. The little skirts, the short dresses. Come on Blossom, you are telling me you haven't thought about getting some younger cooper action" Chuck smirked, Jason snapped and punched the taller man, Chuck stumbled back and sniggered, he was itching for a good fight. Chuck tackled Jason, and the two fell to the floor, betty screamed, hoping someone would hear, but she knew they were too far from the campsite, and all her friends where safely tucked up in their tents sleeping the night away. They would sleep late in due to the amount of alcohol consumed.

"Betty run" Jason shouted at her, but she was frozen, she should run and get help, maybe from Archie or Kevin, Kevin was a similar build to Chuck maybe he could help Jason, but her feet weren't cooperating, she propelled herself forward desperately trying to pull Chuck off of Jason

"Chuck get off him" She screamed, pulling his arm, his shirt, his hair anything she could get a hold of. Chuck pushed her back and she stumbled hitting her head on an encroaching rock. She bit her tongue, tasted the metallic blood in the back of her mouth. She then felt arms grabbing her, hauling her to her feet

"Betty get up, come on we gotta run" Jason pulled her deeper into the forest. She was disorientated but she followed realising this had become a fight or flight situation, her life literally depended on her clear head and her older sisters' boyfriend.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Betty" Jughead called, a cool compress on her head "Betts" he tried again trying to reach her, worry clouded his voice,

"Wh-what?" betty asked, she truly was confused

"Are you ok?" Jughead asked, she rubbed her forehead trying to piece together the memory? The vision? She had just witnessed.

"What is happening to me?" She whispered to herself. She must be going crazy, people couldn't feel this fragmented surely this was not normal? What was her mind trying to tell her? She knew it included Chuck, and Jason and her for some reason, as well as Jughead, but why wasn't everything fitting together? There were just black voids of nothing in between the images and the pictures, sometimes there was audio other times it was nothing, no noise, no smell just images.

"You don't look too good blondie" Sweet-Pea smiled gently

"Pea" Jughead snapped

"What? She doesn't" The taller boy was baffled, he was only telling the truth.

"I don't feel too good" Betty agreed, she felt confined, and clammy, she had a headache.

"Come on let's get out of here" Jughead helped her to her feet, and gently guided her out of the school and to his bike. He turned to his friends

"Can you deal with school today, and let the office know that we aren't going to be in?"

Already done" Toni smiled

"Thank you" Jughead turned back to betty who was just sat on the back of his bike, eyes vacant, he handed her his helmet which she automatically put on her head. He jumped n the bike kicked it alive and then they where off. Out of school, down the main street, passed Pop's Chock Lit Shoppe, over the bridge separating the northside and southside of Riverdale and to his trailer, knowing his father was either at work or dealing with Serpent jobs. He helped her off his bike and then led her up the wooden stairs and into the trailer. He gently placed Betty onto his couch and then went to get her a glass of water. Worry pinching his eyes, he took a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to control his emotions. Betty needed him to be calm. He sat on the table opposite Betty, and watched as her eyes darted back and forth following a scene he wasn't privy to see.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Don't stop Betty" Jason pulled her along, her head was pounding, her chest was burning, her throat was burning, and legs ached from running and trying to keep up with Jason, but he was taller than her by a good couple of inches, so his strides where naturally longer

"Jason" She gasped, trying to catch her breath long enough to speak "I can't. I need, to stop" She stuttered, she staggered losing her grip on him and falling to her knees, gasping for breath.

"Betty please we need to keep moving" Jason bent over catching his breath and trying to soothe the stitch in his side. Suddenly Betty was pulled up in the air by Chuck, he had caught up with them and grabbed Betty, lifting her into the air pressing her to his chest, her back to his chest, squeezing, restricting her breathing, Betty screamed but she just couldn't get her breath gasping she tried to fight, but she had spent all her energy and her reserves

"Chuck put her down" Jason cried, startled by Chuck

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Can't breathe" Betty gasped, stuck between two worlds, both running in parallel, but one real and the other unseeing "Please"

"Betts come on, come back to me" Jughead cupped her cheeks, swiping at the tears streaming down her cheeks "come on. Come back to me" Jughead whispered, he was desperate unsure of what to do

"Chuck please" Betty begged, and it broke Jughead's heart, he dropped his head and silent cried for his best friend.

"Chuck please" Betty begged, Jason edged closer to them, hoping he could free Betty, he looked at the younger Cooper

"Sorry" Jason whispered and then charged Chuck again, he had a choice either drop Betty or the three of them go down, Betty between the two of them, Jason really didn't want to hurt her, but he really didn't want her anywhere near Chuck. The three went down in a tangle of limbs, Betty crushed between the two, she gasped, the little breath she had captured knocked out of her. She scrambled away from the two, desperately trying to catch her breath, gulping in huge lungsful of air. Jason punched Chuck, who took it on the chin and laughed, he was truly maniac and was enjoying this, which horrified Betty more, the boy was psychotic. Chuck threw a punch back and Jason fell onto his back, Betty grabbed him and helped him to his feet. Chuck flipped to his feet, and smirked, licking the blood off his lip

"That actually hurt" Chuck smirked "Nicely done Blossom" He charged again, and Jason pushed Betty out of the way and the two fell to the ground both grappling for dominance, for the upper hand

"Stop it" Betty screamed, her voice hoarse from the running and the screaming and crying this was turning into the worst night of her life. She had never been so scared before, and truly wished to never be this scared again in her life.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Stop it" betty screamed, and Jughead held her tighter, there was nothing he could do but let the scene play out in her head, all he could do was comfort her as best as he could.

"I got you Betty, I got you. Nothing can hurt you know. You are safe" He kissed her forehead, not caring if it was proper or not. Betty needed him, and he was not running, he was going to be a solid constant in her life. A trustworthy rock for her. "I've got you" He repeated against her forehead.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"oh god, oh god oh god" Betty mumbled, She watched as Jason took punch after punch and kick after kick, she tried to help but Chuck just swatted her away, as if she was nothing, as if she weighed nothing, which was true when compared to Chuck. Jason fell to the floor again and spat blood out of his mouth. He had taken a beating, and Chuck had just laughed through the whole thing, Jason had given as good as he got, but in the end, Chuck was stronger.

"this has been fun, but you are boring me now" Chuck smiled he stood above Jason's body, he reached behind him and pulled a gun from his waistband and Betty's eyes went wide. Chuck was willing to kill to get what he wanted.

"Chuck Don't" betty screamed, she ran to him and wrestled for the gun, surprising Chuck and herself with the grip, Jason saw the struggled and became alert when he saw gun, he swung to his feet and ran to Chuck, betty had managed to pull him away from the red head. The three fell to the floor, Betty felt her head crack against the concrete, and blood blurred her vision, the only thing she was completely sure of was the two gunshots.

Betty shook her head and stars exploded into her vision, wait that's, not right? Why did her head feel so heavy? She groaned and rolled to her side, she looked and there was Jason on the floor reaching out to her. A Third gunshot and it went straight between Jason's eyes. She screamed and screamed and screamed.

"Shut UP!" Chuck kicked her in the head and she went flying with the momentum. She no longer felt pain she was just numb. Her friend was dead, and it was her fault. What had she done?


Well that was a rollercoaster. Hope you liked it. Please review and give me your thoughts. This is a bit of a turning chapter.
