I ran out of the Blue and Gold room. I needed to find Jughead. He was long-gone though. I tried to call him. His phone went straight to voicemail. Crap. 

"Juggie! I already have proof! Come to the Blue and Gold room as soon as possible!" I hung up the voicemail. It was Toni Topaz in front of me. My heart began to race. 

"I'm guessing you found the flash drive. You're not turning it into the police." Toni said in an angry voice. She started to run at me and I ran away. School hours were out, and nobody was here. I ran into the Blue and Gold room and I locked it. I took my desk and put it against the door. 

I checked my pocket for my phone. Nothing. I must have dropped it while running in here. Toni had a fire-ax. Why the heck was there an ax in the school!?! She slammed the window and it broke. I screamed and armed myself with a chair. I was screwed. She was able to unlock the door and kicked the desk out of the way. She charged at me with the ax and I dodged it. 

I grabbed a chair and slammed her face with it. I tried to run out the door but Toni grabbed me. She pushed me to the ground and tried to hit me with the ax but I rolled away. However, the ax grazed my leg. It was lightly cut open and the blood rushed from it. I crawled under the table and she tried to wack me with it again. I made it out and I grabbed a book. I started to throw  books at her and some she got hit with and some she dodged. She got close to me and held my throat  against the wall. She pulled out a pocket knife and cut my tricep on my left arm. 

"I'm sorry, Betty. But nobody can find out." Toni grunted. She took the knife and grazed my forehead. It was small thank goodness, but it still hurt. I felt the blood drip from there. I kicked her and smashed her head with the bottom of the ax so it would knock her out. She was knocked out. I limped towards the door, but she grabbed my leg! She took the knife and slit both of my legs. I screamed in pain and kicked her in the face. She got up and dragged me by the foot. She dragged me up and slammed my head into the wall. I slumped down and felt dizzy. Toni lifted up her ax, I was going to die. That's when the door busted open. It was Jughead. 

"Juggie! No!" I cried. He slammed Toni into the bookshelf and all the books fell on her head. He punched her in the face and she stabbed his leg. It didn't go all the way thank God. 

"No! Juggie, please! Toni leave him alone!" I sobbed. Watching him be seriously hurt, was the most heartbreaking thing ever. He punched her again. 

"I thought your parents taught you to never hit a woman, Jones?" 

"I was. But you tried to hurt Betty. Now, you've made an nemesis." He said. He slammed a book so hard on her head it knocked her out, for real this time. He limped over to me and squat down. 

"Juggie, you're hurt really bad. You need to go to the hospital." I cried. 

"It-it's fine. I'm just hap-happy you're okay. You're bleeding quite a bit. How bad did she hurt you?" 

"She cut my legs 3 times, cut my left arm, cut my forehead, and slammed my head into a wall. It really hurts." I said. He slowly stood up and pickup the ax. 

"HOE WANTS TO DIE!!!" He yelled. I grabbed his other leg and stopped him. 

"Juggie, just call 911. Tell him that we know who Cheryl's killer is. And-and..." I said. I must have passed out. Jughead called my name but I didn't wake up at all.
