Helpline ((Jughead Jones)) 2

31

Jughead pushed me towards Toni, knowing that she would keep me safer than the raging Serpents and my erratic brother. He kissed my head, then took off with his dad to get Fangs help. She pushed me back towards Sunnyside Trailer Park, knowing the risks of the fighting that had broken out after the gunshot.

"T, you know I can't get up the steps to a trailer, right?" I called to her as she pushed me quickly down the street. I could hear her heavy breaths and I almost felt like stopping her and telling her to go on and I'd push myself, but I knew she wouldn't like that idea.
"Well, we'll figure that out when we get there." She stated, keeping up her fast pace.

Just as we reached the bridge that connected the South and North sides, we saw an army of painted faces coming towards us with various weapon creations. Cars were driving behind them with their lights on full, only illuminating the haunting figures as they got closer to us.
"Toni is that-" She cut me off, saying yeah, and then turning us around and beginning to run back the way we had come.

Suddenly, I felt the pushing on my chair go, followed by a scream. I turned the chair, seeing the Ghoulies grabbing Toni and forcing a cloth around her mouth and throwing her phone away from her. Then two men came up to me, there faces painted like skulls.
"Lady Serpent, right?" They greeted, bowing dramatically as I tried to wheel myself backwards as fast as I could. "Hey, where you going beautiful?" They called. The Ghoulie pair ran towards me, one holding my chair as the other tied a rough rope around my waist tightly so I had no choice but to stay in the chair.

"Where's your phone beautiful?" One asked, but I kept my mouth shut. He walked in front of me while the other pushed me back towards Toni and the large Ghoulie group.
"Ok, m'lady, this is how it will work, you tell us where your phone is, we'll get it out and look after it for you. If you don't, your little Serpent slave here will be thrown into the river." Toni had her hand bound and her feet, so I knew she would drown if she was thrown into the water. I spat out that my phone was in my back right pocket and the Ghoulie pushing me reached around to grab it out, taking slightly longer than he needed to. I kept my face blank and held my glare at the Ghoulie in front o me.
"Jughead is going to kill you." I hissed at the man in front of me as he was handed my phone.
"Oh, I'm counting on it." He grinned, then Toni and I were picked up, me in my wheelchair and put in the back of a truck as three more Ghoulies jumped in with us to keep us there.

When the truck stopped, Toni and I were taken out of the truck and put beside a fire, right across from the one Serpent bitch I couldn't stand, and wanted my blood. She smiled, shouting a greeting to us like the psychopath she is. She asked the Ghoulies for my phone, took it, and dialed a number. (I had given up my password in the truck after on started to push Toni over the side of it.)

"Sorry, Juggy, not your babe. It's your old gal pal." She said into the phone, looking directly at me. I began to squirm against the hold of a Ghoulie, knowing that she was talking to Jughead. "Oh, I heard. Riverdale burning to the ground. It's tragic. How about we meet up and talk about it? Your old hangout, by the docks?" She said into the phone. The Ghoulie that was holding my shoulder to keep me in place and had a hand over my mouth as I screamed into his hand was beginning to lose his grip. Each painful movement just encouraged me further to stop Jughead coming. It was a trap. "If you don't I'll start carving up your girlfriend's face. And her little Serpent buddy too." She started to move around the knife that she was holding, so I bit the hand of the Ghoulie holding me, causing him to let go.
"Tell her to go to hell, Jughead!" I demanded, and then the Ghoulie slapped me into silence. She then hung up.

When we saw him walk up to us, my heart stopped. The Ghoulie stood between Toni and I, Penny opposite. The first thing he asked was if we were ok. The first thing Toni and I thought was how stupid he had to be to come all this way thinking Penny was alone.
"Jughead, she's not alone." Toni said to him, as tears began to fill my eyes, terrified that I would have to watch my boyfriend severely injured.
