Finally, the weekend had arrived. The girls (and boys) drove to Veronica's cabin to spend the weekend to just relax and unwind. Once they had arrived, they parked their cars and Veronica showed everyone inside, taking Betty upstairs to a room that had a bathroom, a flat screen TV and King sized bed.
Putting their luggage away, Betty laid in bed and let out a huge sigh "I already love this place" Veronica sat beside her and played with Betty's ponytail "Wanna stay in here for a bit and unpack?" Betty nodded and rolled onto her side, hugging Veronica's waist tightly. Once they finished unpacking, they met the rest of their friends downstairs.
When night arrived, all of them gathered in the hot tub, everyone was talking about little things when Veronica brought up the topic of soulmates. Cheryl asked "Archie I don't think I've seen you with anyone, or you Jughead" the two just shrugged.
Jughead said "I don't have a mark, not that I care anyways" Archie sighed "I have one, just haven't found anyone with the same mark" Veronica asked "well what is it?"
"Red Arrow" Archie answered
Everyone thought for a moment "doesn't Josie have a Red Arrow?" Toni asked, everyone just made an uncertain noise. Moving on from that topic, Cheryl asked "what about you Betty? Have you found someone yet?" Betty smiled and looked over at Veronica, who looked back at her.
Veronica wrapped an arm around Betty and said "yes she has" looking back at them, they all congratulated the girls and once they felt cold, they went inside. Betty went upstairs, put on some warm clothes and sat in bed, Veronica walked in soon after, putting on some dry clothes as well "Where'd you go?" She asked.
Veronica shook her head "just had to take care of something real quick, don't worry" she kissed Betty's head softly and smiled at her "My dad's alcohol cabinet is open, let's go have some fun with everyone" she said grinning.
The group went downstairs and they just talked, play a few games with cards, and spent most of the night just talking and playing games. Betty eventually fell asleep on Veronica's shoulder. Jughead looked at his phone and said "It's kinda late.."
"What time is it?" Toni asked, he replied "1:30 am" Veronica looked down at Betty who was completely knocked out. She played with her hair and said "yeah we should probably get to..." She yawned softly then continued "bed.." she looked at Jughead and asked "mind helping me take her upstairs?"
He stood up and lifted Betty up with ease, once they were upstairs, Jug laid Betty in bed and Veronica thanked him and wished him goodnight, as did he. She got dressed in pajamas and got in bed with Betty, pulling her close and falling asleep against her.
However, early in the morning, a loud bang was heard. Veronica, being a light sleeper, sprung awake. She looked around for any indication where the noise came from, nothing.
As her dad usually went out hunting sometimes, she stood up and got a hunting rifle from under her bed.
Betty groaned softly and brushed the empty spot beside her "Ronnie..." She moaned tiredly.
Veronica sat beside her and kissed her head "Shh" taking her phone off her charger, she texted Archie and Jughead:
V: 'Did you guys hear that?'
J: 'Yeah, you don't think someone's in here right?'
Before Veronica could respond, a bone chilling scream was heard which made Veronica drop her phone. She got up and stood beside the door, the screams continued, they were obviously from Cheryl and Toni. She opened the door a little to see a forest green eye, looking straight at her.
She pointed the gun to it and before the door opened any more, she shot.
The person standing in front of the door fell back, everything was silent. For a while. A man's loud voice was heard, saying "Kill the fucking redhead!"
Toni could be heard screaming and pleading to the man.
Archie, was no where to be found, Jughead however managed to get his hands on a baseball bat.
Veronica pointed the gun at the man's head who was about to shoot Cheryl but Jughead took care of him, as he hit him, Jughead yelled "how many more?!" The man of course didn't answer, Veronica walked over to him and bashed the butt of the riffle against his nose, before she could shoot him as well, she felt a gun at the back of her head.
A dark voice saying "drop it.." she did just that and silently prayed that Betty could find some other weapon to kill this asshole, but her salvation never came. Everyone was brought downstairs, except Betty and Archie. Their hands were tied and Veronica stared at the ground.
Betty, who was hiding in the bathroom made her way out when she heard the voices from downstairs, she searched in every upstairs room for something, nothing. She silently cursed at herself and decided to be smart about things, she pulled out a small plastic bag from her bag and threw her wet clothes on the floor.
She got a paper weight from the bedside table and sneaked to the opening of the staircase. Betty slowly stepped down, being able to see the two remaing men. One was a tall man, he had a beard, and black hair, wearing all black. The other man, or boy, was a Blondie, his nose was broken but he still managed to stand, she already chose her target.
With one strong throw, she chucked the weight at the blond boy's head and he yelled "FUCK!"
Betty was already back upstairs, hiding behind the door. She had the bag ready, she had to do this quietly, and she had only one chance.
Her heart pounded, it was her only hope, she had to do this to save veronica and her friends. Once the boy walked in, a pistol in hand, she slowly walked behind him, but then saw Veronica's belt on the floor, she picked that up instead and tightened the belt hard against his throat, covering his mouth as he moved around. Betty tried standing her ground but he overpowered her, pushing her into the door and walls.
Betty's back was pinned against a wall and and she pulled on the belt as hard as she could, until she felt him fall limp. She let go of the belt, her hands red. Betty closed the door and panted heavily, locking it, she took the gun and quickly went on Google to see how to use a gun.
"How the fuck do you use this damn thing?!" She whisper-screamed, after about 10 minutes of YouTube videos, she was sure she got the hang of it. The man's dark voice boomed through the house
"Nathaniel!" He yelled, then thundering footsteps were heard, and the door was opened.
Betty who was hiding in the bathroom's bathtub, clutched the gun and turned off the safety. She cocked the gun as quietly as possible then heard the man chuckle "A belt huh? You're a crafty girl" he said softly, stepping into the bathroom.
"A lot of places to hide in here, so come on out.." he spoke, Betty needed a headshot, desperately, the gun had a full magazine but she couldn't waste bullets on a man who probably had a vest on. She slowly rose her head to see the man facing the open bathroom window. "Fuck..." He whispered, going over to it.
That's when Betty took her Chance, she aimed and shot, the man falling as soon as the bullet hit his head. She sighed in relief and quickly got out of the bath, trembling. Betty found a hunting knife in his pocket and ran downstairs. She threw the gun aside but before her knife could touch Veronica's restraints, she felt a tight grip around her neck.
"Shit..." She whispered, Betty dropped the knife and the boy chuckled softly "thought I was dead huh..?" He asked, breathing down her neck softly, Veronica looked back at them, her eyes flared with anger "don't you dare..." She growled. Jughead took the knife and quickly started cutting his restraints.
Betty was dragged to the couch, where the gun was found, Nathaniel picked it up and put it behind her head as he un-did his pants. "I'm Gunna fuck your life up.." he whispered, Veronica screamed at him and began crying, Jughead, who's hands were free walked up to him quietly and stabbed the knife in his back. Nathaniel fell down and Jughead beat him hard, Betty got up quickly and pulled him back "Jug, Juggie you got him.." she whispered as her voice cracked slightly. He panted heavily and said "Come on" he crawled back over to the rest of the group.
Betty undid Veronica's restraints and hugged her tightly, Veronica gripped her shirt and cried softly. Just as this happened, Archie walked in with an Axe. Jughead walked up to him, visably angered, so did Veronica. "Ronnie-" Betty started before Veronica smacked Archie, tears in her eyes "Where the fuck were you?!" She screamed. Betty stood up and walked over to her, hugging her waist tight "come in Ronnie..." She whispered, Veronica exploded at Archie.
"Do you KNOW what could've happened?! Huh?! If Jughead didn't have that knife Betty..." She gritted her teeth and punched Archie. Jughead helped hold Veronica back "Fuck you Archie!" She screamed and Betty took Veronica upstairs. Archie was silent throughout all this. Jughead pulled Archie outside and started yelling at him as well.
Betty hugged Veronica tightly and rubbed her back "come on V..." She whispered, Veronica sat up and held her face, kissing her. Their first kiss, under these circumstances. Their kiss was gentle and sweet, loving. Veronica pulled away and whispered against her lips "I don't want anything to happen to you anymore..." She whispered softly.
Betty ran her fingers through her hair and whispered softly "You can't protect me forever Ronnie.." Veronica rested her head against Betty's chest. "I can sure as hell try..."
Betty sighed quietly "Let's just get some sleep... It's been a long night.." Veronica nodded and kissed her again gently. Betty smiled softly and hugged Veronica tightly.
Despite no one feeling safe, everyone went to sleep, hopefully some rest would feel better for the group.
