*FLASH BACK*

"EMILIA BLOSSOM DONT MAKE ME BEAT YOU!" Mom chased me out of the car; she learned I had burned a photo album of father.

"IM SORRY I DONT WANT TO REMIND MYSELF OF MY MURDEROUS FATHER!" I shouted. Cheryl watched as I stormed into Thorn Hill with mom. I smiled at her before walking up to my dear sister, holding her hand as she held the candle stick.

"Cheryl!?" My mom shouted throughout the house. "Cheryl?" She called again.

"In here, Mother." My sisters cold voice filled the room. Mom walked into the room, Cheryl staring at the fire place, Candle stick in hand.

"What is that smell?" Mother asked, disgusted.

Cheryl turned around, "Gasoline. It's the only way we can truly start over and be purified." I smiled at my mother, who's face turned from a cold stare to a terrified expression.

Cheryl drops the candles.

Good bye Thorn Hill.

*end of flashback*

I sat in the waiting room of the hospital, not really paying attention to much. Until I see Archie Andrews run in carrying his dad, both covered in blood.

"Help, please. Help, hey! Someone help me and my dad." A nurse calls for a gurney. The doctor rushing out.

"What happened to him?"

Archie begins to stutter; "He was...he was shot." My brain mumbles the rest of whatever's happening. Fred Andrews was shot? First Jason, then Cheryl and my Dad, and now Archie has to go through this too? I shudder and continue to wander through my mind, picking out memories of selling cookies to the Andrews every week in the summer until I was thirteen. I remembered the times I would help Mary plant in the garden while the boys tossed a football around. I spot Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper rush to help their boyfriend and best friend. Jughead coming in soon after.

I don't move from my spot. I just keep thinking about who would hurt the kindest man in Riverdale.

People start leaving and Betty Cooper and Kevin Keller stay to keep an eye out. Mothers body is shifted to another room; Cheryl following. She smirks at me; to which I stand and we make our way towards the room.

"Cheryl? Emmy? Is that your mom?" Betty asks.

Cheryl turn to look at the blonde and the sheriffs son. "Haven't you heard?"

"There was a terrible fire at Thornhill last night." I explain.

"We might've perished if it weren't for Mommy's heroics." Cheryl says, rubbing my back smiling.

"Oh my god." Kevin says, shocked. "Is this the apocalypse?"

"After my ordeal at Sweetwater River, I was asleep when the fire started. They think it was breeze that knocked over a lot candle; catching the curtains."
