Maxine's POV

We went to the arcade that Dodger owned and waited until it was dark to sneak in and get Betty. Not only was it helpful for sneaking, Jughead also took into consideration that if the sun burned me, then it was pointless taking my ring off.

We split up into three seprate groups. Sweetpea, Fangs, Peaches, Jughead, Cheryl and I would sneak inside.

The others would be outside ready to get them if they tried leaving, plus quicker get away then the other group would be distracting any of them that we couldn't take out.

There was only one guy outside keeping watch so he was easy to take out. Fangs threw a brick to distract him and then I snuck up behind him and hit him in the head with a baseball bat.

Everyone got into their positions except for the group I was in, we silently went inside the arcade one by one.

Nobody was in the actual arcade but we did hear noises come from upstairs.

Jughead went first, followed by Fangs, Sweetpea, me and Cheryl.

There was a hallway that split into three different directions, to the left was only one room, in front of us was the main room and to the right was two rooms.

Cheryl and I went to the left, Fangs and Sweetpea went into one of the rooms on the right side whilst Jughead took the other room on the right side. We'd take the main room together.

I stood next to the door while Cheryl stood in front with her bow and arrow raised. I hated this in case she got hurt but I was trusting her to be quicker than anyone that might be in there.

I quickly opened the door and Cheryl entered first and looked around.

"Empty." She whispered coming back out. I silently closed the door behind her and we met up with the others in front of the main room.

"Looks like they're all in there." Jughead said quietly. "I'll go first, we take them by surprise."

We all got into position, hiding behind the wall as Jughead kicked the door open.

"The hell?" Jughead shouted. "Guys."

We came out of position, all of us confused. We went into the room to see it was empty except for Betty gagged and tied up.

Jughead walked over to her and removed the gag.

"It's a trap, they knew you'd come." She said quickly.

As soon as she said that, I felt a sharp pain in my side. I got pushed to the floor and I saw blood pouring out of my side.

Whoever stabbed me got sent to the ground too and I saw a knife fall out of his hands, good. It wasn't wood.

I stood up shakily as everyone began to fight off Dodgers gang.

I looked around and began to panic as I couldn't see Cheryl.

"Cheryl?!" I shouted through the chaos.

"Yes?" She replied casually as she popped out from behind one of the walls and shot an arrow at someone's leg. "Be a dear and retrieve that arrow for me?"

I shook my head at her but did as she said. I slowly walked over to her but I found myself on the floor as someone tackled me. The same asshole that took my ring off.

"Hello again." He smirked as he began to choke me.

I threw some weak punches at him and managed to somehow kick him off. Still laying on the floor, I adjusted my head to look towards Cheryl who had now disappeaered again, causing me to panic.

I stood up quickly and looked behind the wall she was at in case she was hiding again. I lowered my head when I saw that she wasn't there.

I turned around but I was immediately pushed against the wall by that guy again.

"Time to die, freak."

"You can't kill, what's already dead." I growled showing my fangs.

He gulped nervously but regain his composure. "I'm not scared of you."

"You should be." I warned.

I threw a punch but he dodged. I threw another but he grabbed my arm and pulled it down before quickly headbutting me.

It was his turn to throw a few punches. He gripped my hair and pushed my head against the wall, I felt something press against my stomach and it hurt worse than the knife. I glanced down and all I saw was wood.

"Shit."

"Shit indeed." He laughed before spitting some blood out.

Suddenly an arrow came flying past his head, landing rather close to my head as it got embedded into the wall.

"I suggest you release her. I only miss when I mean to." I heard Cheryl say.

I looked behind the guy holding me to see she was aiming another arrow at him. A look of focus on her face.

"Sure, sure. I'll let her go." He smiled before digging the wooden steak deep into my stomach.

We fell to the ground at the same time as Cheryl let the arrow fly straight into his shoulder.

"Maxine!"

Cheryl was quickly by my side. Her eyes slowly filling with tears.

"Help." She begged looking behind her. "Jughead!"

"Take it out." I said my voice, coming out in a growl. "Fucking take it out."

"No, you'll bleed out."

"Take it out!" I repeated, this time deciding to remove it myself.

"Maxine, no!"

I screamed in agony as the pain became unbarable. I tried to stand up but I just fell back to my knees.

"What the hell happened?!" I heard FP ask. "Shit, Max."

I tried to stand again but this time with Cheryl's help but it was no use. My legs gave out again. My body couldn't heal this straight away, it was too much.

"I got you." FP said soothingly as he picked me up carefully. "It's okay, I got you."

Cheryl reached for my hand and held it but I continued to get weaker and weaker.

"Maxine? Keep your eyes open, you're gonna be okay." Cheryl said, her voice cracking.

I knew I'd be okay but my body just needed time to heal so it was shutting itself down for a while. Before I could say anything, my hand slipped from hers and darkness surrounded me as the last thing I heard was Cheryl screaming my name.
