*Jughead's P.O.V*
Before going to the battle, I stopped at Betty's room. Her heart monitor was normal again. She was covered in stitches. They had made her bruising way less severe. Her wrist was broken. Those were just the physical things.
"Hey baby," I said, sitting down. "Veronica told me while people are in coma they can hear when people talk to them. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. It should be me laying there, fighting for my life. I started this war and dragged you into it. The serpents are going to war. I don't know if I'm gonna live but if I do I'm coming right back here. And I'll spend everyday here until I can stare into your beautiful eyes again. Just know I love you."
"So it's true," a voice said. I turned around to see Alice. "The serpents are going to war."
"It is," I said. I kept my eyes on Betty. She looked so fragile. I wish I could stay with her. "I'm about to go."
"I'll call you when she wakes up," Alice said. I thanked her and left after kissing Betty's hairline.
We soon arrived at the ghoulies hideout. We used the element of surprise against them. Soon the battle began, and no one was showing any sign of mercy.
I saw Penny herself. "Finally got my pound of flesh," she said, twirling her knife.
"Your beef was with me, not her," I said, pulling out my own knife.
"She agreed to it," she said. I looked confused. "She made a deal: no more bloodshed and we get to kill her. Would have rather it be you, but I feel the emotional damage would be fare worse than death for you."
I quickly punched her in the face. She feel to the ground. I kicked her till she passed out. That's when I noticed the police arrived. We ran. Some serpents were arrested. We kept ruining. There were only about ten of us left. "I told you this idea was terrible," Sweetpea said. I then got a phoncecall.
"Who's it from?" Veronica asked.
"Alice," I said.
