Veronica's POV.
I can't remember how long I've been here. Could be weeks. My head is pounding and my whole body is aching. And the fact that I'm wearing high heels is definitely not helping in the slightest. I barely get any food. Last thing I ate was some bread and water yesterday. I don't even need a mirror to know there's big dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep. I can't just go to sleep. In this situation sleep is for the weak. Sleep is for someone who has given up, but of course not sleeping at all is just as bad. There really isn't much to do when you're tied up and sleep is the only thing I can do to pass the time. So although I dread it, I look forward to the next time I can have a chance to shut my eyes for a while and escape this crappy dungeon. I don't want to admit it, but I'm actually a little scared to what's going to happen. Nick St. Clair was just here 2 days ago, or what I think was 2 days ago, and he is definitely not the guy I would want near me when I'm tied up and unprotected. I start to hear foot steps. If it's one of the Blackhoods goons or the leader I can handle them no problem. If it's the Blackhood though then we got some problems. I hear all 4 locks unlock and then the door opens. The person revealed to me is the leader of the Blackhoods goons.

"Hello Veronica. Did you have a nice sleep?" The leader said while slowly walking towards me.

"No. How could I have a good sleep while being tied up in a place full of fuckin' creeps?!" I shouted at him, but he still kept coming closer.

"You know we can always make things a little more, comfortable for you." He brushed some hair behind my ear with his hand when he said the word 'comfortable'. I stomped on his foot with my heels as hard as I could and he hissed a little bit. "Bitch!" He yelled then slapped me in the face. I didn't say anything. I just glared at him. "Look! You're not leaving anytime soon and while you're hear we want to be treated with respect! If we aren't then you deserve what is coming to you!" He yelled then left the room and slammed the door. Oh Archiekins where are you? This is a complete damsel in distress moment.

Archie's POV.
It was 5 o'clock in the morning and I tried to get as much rest as I could, but I just couldn't. Every time I fell asleep I just woke up 15 minutes later. This happened about 13 times all night and I was just fed up with it. I texted Jug to see if he was awake and up to talk. I know Betty is probably asleep even if she is usually up at this time to get ready for school, but she was up late and I did not want to wake her up. She needs her rest. Jug however is always sleeping in late, but he never would say no to helping me out. Even though I try not to ask for his help often it's always good to know you have people who can always help you or even just talk to you.

"Yah, I'm up. Come right over." Jug replied back and I put on some jeans and a long sleeve shirt, grabbed my shoes and started running to Jug's. I just need someone right now and I don't think I should be behind a wheel. I get to Jugheads in 23 minutes or so and see his dad is at work like always and knock on the door to Jug's RV. When the door opens I see a teary-eyed Jughead and before I knew it he slowly engulfed me in a hug. This was so unlike Jughead. I have never in my life seen him like this over anything. Not even cheeseburgers. When he released the hug he looked at me straight in the eyes.

"I'm sorry. I guess I just need someone to talk to too. I kind of went through Nick's phone some more." Jug answered and sat on his couch.

"Did you find anything new?" I asked curiously.

"Actually I kind of did. I went through his social media apps and I found out that he's been charging people online to receive videos." He took a deep breath. "They're videos of Veronica."

"What exactly are they of?" I said while shutting my eyes and bitting my teeth hard hoping that is not an answer that I don't want to hear.

"Well I looked at some of the videos and it's videos of her getting hit and beat and even touched sometimes." Jug and before I could respond he cut me off. "And this website. People can comment back to Nick about what they want to see next and honestly it's far worse than just getting hit. They want to see more of Veronica and Nick and is getting paid to put it on camera." Jug said in anger and rage. I think I remember Kevin telling me something about this website. It's like FaceTime but on your computer and you can either talk to a specific person or you can make videos and post them to everyone, but it charges them and the person who made the video or you're chatting with gets paid. That is that last thing I want Ronnie to get involved in. HE CAN'T DO THIS! She is my love. My life. I just. Need to get my anger out on something so I start throwing the chairs in his kitchen. Luckily they didn't break but I think it would have helped me more if they did.

"I want him destroyed. Nick and everyone else that is a part of this." I growled.

"You and me both." Jug said and then he suddenly got an anonymous call. He picked it up and put it on speaker.

"Hello Jughead." The man on the phone said in a deep voice and with no doubt in my mind was the man we were on the phone with yesterday.

"What do you want?!" Jug growls at the phone and the man laughed.

"Oh Jughead, no need to get angry with me. Are you alone?" The man asked and when Jug looked at me I nodded my head.

"Yeah. Why?" He asked

"Because I need to talk to you in private." He said plainly. "Archie will easily break down and do whatever it takes to get his Ronnie back, but honestly that's way to easy and no fun. So I want to up the playing field"

Jug and I were both very confused on what he was talking about. "What do you mean?"

"I want money which will no doubt be provided by the lodges. And I want your RV." The man said. Jug thought for a moment.

"Done! We'll get you your money and you get my RV in exchange for Veronica." Jug said which I was shocked he would give up his RV.

"Hold up. I never said when this trade will take place. I don't believe the Lodges have suffered for their sins just yet. But don't worry. This bargain is not off the table and will be made in due time." The man said

"WAIT!" Jug yelled. "Can you please just don't touch her. She doesn't deserve this. Just please leave her alone until the Lodges debt is paid." Jug pleaded silently.

"I might be able to control myself." He said and relief went through me "but I can't say anything about my friends." He laughed and hung up.

"I'm so sorry. I tried." Jug said and put his head in his hands.

"I know Jug. And so does Ronnie. Don't worry. We're getting her out tonight."

(Hey sorry this took so long to write and publish. Had sort of a writers block for a while, but don't worry I never leave a story hanging. Keep in mind that my next chapter will have graphic stuff and sadly if you're not comfortable with that or don't want to read that or other reasons you will have to wait for the update after that. If you don't like then don't read. It's as simple as that. -bellagomez101)
