The Return of Peabody and The Ghoulies

Voices in my Head

⚠️ Warning: Invisible demons, swearing and self harm mention⚠️

Previously in 'Climax':

'Did you really think that I would leave town and not come back for revenge, huh? Well, you and your little siblings ruined my life so now I'll ruin yours and trust me, it'll be much,much worse.' Archie was right, Penny is back but before I could do anything, I blacked out.

Present time: Betty's POV:

I hadn't heard from Jughead since after lunch, I began to get worried so I picked up my phone to call Jordyn. I quickly dialed her number and it rang twice ' ring, ring '

(Phone Conversation) J= Jordyn B= Betty (incase of confusion lol)

J:Hey Betty, is everything OK?
B: Not really, I haven't heard from Jughead for a while, have you seen him?
J: No I thought he was with you. Should we go look for him?
B: Yeah, he might be in trouble. Bring JB also. Just for extra help.
J: Alright, meet at your place in 10?
B:OK, see you guys soon then.
J:Bye.

Jordyn's POV:

I quickly went to JB's room, practically almost busting through the door. 'Jellybean, we have to go, right now!' Jellybean sat up from her bed in confusion, with a wonder in her eye. 'Why, what's going on?' She questions me. 'I'll explain as we start walking but just hurry so we can go.' She grabbed her bag and we both ran out the door and begin to explain what Betty told me over the phone.

Time skip (10 minutes later). At the Cooper Residence.

Betty's POV:

After about 10 minutes, I heard the door knock, I rushed down the stairs and opened the door to Jordyn and Jellybean almost on the verge on tears about Jug. 'You ready to go Betty?' Jordyn says looking at me with concern along with Jellybean. 'Yeah, I guess so.'

'I suggest we leave now before Jughead gets hurt or worse' JB adds on. She looks back towards me. 'She's right, but the million dollar question is where do we look first?' Jordyn asks. We all take a moment to think but it didn't take long until JB had an idea. 'What about the school, I saw him walking into the Blue and Gold office at the end of the day'

We all looked at each other and began running out of the house. While running, multiple thoughts of what might happen to Jughead ran through my mind but only one positive, one small hope for a thought crossed my mind which was 'Please, just please say that he's okay, I can't lose him.'

Meanwhile at Southside High (this is when it shut down)

Jughead's POV:

I slowly woke up adjusting to the bright light above me, suddenly all the memories of what recently happened to me came rushing back into my head. As I got up, I realised I was practically bleeding everywhere, explains why I'm feeling extremely lightheaded.

As I looked around, I noticed that I was in Southside High. 'Why the hell am I here?' I thought as I walked through the hall, clearly nothing changed. I saw a white figure near the end of the hallway, it was pale like it was an actual ghost. I cautiously walked up towards the... thing. 'Hello, who are you' I question the figure. It gives me a demon like smile and replied with 'I'm your past.' I barely remember it so how's that possible?' The ghost smiles at me again.

'Well now you will' It replied before turning into a spirit. I tried to back away and run but my vision was starting to become blurry and impaired, it was too late, the spirit had already entered into my mind. Suddenly, all of my flashbacks and my suicidal thoughts, it all came back.

My dad beating me when he was drunk

Getting jumped at school

And me doing self harm

I held my head while practically sprinting out of the now abandoned school which was hard if you have however many flesh wounds on your body. 'Make it s-stop p-please' I yelled, suddenly the same cuts that I gave myself years ago, they began showing up again, I looked at them through my blurry vision.

I managed to get back to the Northside, I ran to the wall of a random street and as I was about to sink down the wall, my blurry vision turned into darkness.

Meanwhile with JB (Jellybean), JD (Jordyn) and Betty...

Jellybean's POV:

I was out of breath because we ran all around town looking for Jughead. I wasn't as worried as before but now I felt like panicking, I could say the same thing about Betty and Jordyn. Jordyn was older than Jughead even though they are twins, he's still like a little brother to her, and Betty is Jug's girlfriend and they both really love each other. After catching my breath and thinking about all this, I turned towards them both.

'I honestly don't understand, we looked everywhere for him.' Betty says on the verge of tears. I began looking around until I saw a red trail on the sidewalk, which Jordyn also noticed. 'Girls this might be a new lead on Jug' Jordyn said as we looked at the trail. ' Should we follow it?' Betty asks. 'Yeah, it might give us another clue or better yet Jughead' I responded as we slowly started walking.

About 5 minutes later, the trail had led us near an empty street. 'I'm confused, why does the trail end so quickl-' I cut myself off when I looked up and I was speechless. Still looking up, I tapped Jordyn on the shoulder. 'JB, did you find any-' Jordyn cut herself off as she looked up at Jughead and tears slowly started to fall down. 'Betty you're going to wanna see this, right the hell now!' Jordyn nearly yelled. Betty stood next to me and looked up in shock. We found Jughead unconscious while almost bleeding out.

Jordyn quickly shook out of her trance 'Oh my god, guys we need to get him to the hospital NOW!'
Betty called and ambulance as me and Jordyn began to slow the bleeding down.

At Riverdale General...
Third Person:

Betty, JD and JB all rushed into Riverdale General and went to the front desk. 'Hello Miss, how can I help you' the receptionist asked 'Hello a boy named Forsythe Pendleton Jones came in earlier today, do you know which room he's in and if he's okay.' JB tells the woman. 'Are you close to him?' 'Yeah, we're his sisters and Betty is his girlfriend.' Jordyn replied 'He's in Room 249, just down the hall.' They all thank the woman and quickly found his room. They all entered to see Jughead in a bed attached to an IV drip. Jordyn goes to the side with JB and calls their dad while Betty called Archie to explain the situation.

Time skip (45 minutes later)

Jughead's POV:

A bright light flashes in my head and I open my eyes. I look around the room to see Archie, my dad, JD, JB and Betty surrounding my bed. 'W-what happened?' I ask groggily. 'The girls found you on an empty street, knocked out cold.' Archie tells me. My dad bends down to my bedside and holds my hand. 'Do you remember what happened son?' He asks me in wonder. I hesitate for a little while. I shake my head while saying 'N-no, I don't remember anything.' After I finished, a doctor came in. 'Hello, unfortunately visiting hours are over but Jughead will be kept here overnight for observation, he will be discharged first thing tomorrow.' Everyone quickly nodded and they all left, including the doctor.

But there is one thing...

I still remember everything that happened...

A/N: This is the longest chapter I've written so far in this book, normally my chapters are about 400-600 words long. I'm honestly surprised. Hope you enjoy this story.
