Still Alive

A/N: Betty's father just got arrested and this is the aftermath.

Betty tried to recover quickly, swallowing some tears as she picked up her phone,

“Betty, I’m happy to hear your voice.”

“Me too, Jug, you have no idea.”

“I just wanted to let you know that I love you and I will never stop loving you.”

“What? What are you saying, Jug?”

“I’ll see you soon,” Jughead lied, hanging up the phone to go and meet his doomed fate.

Betty started hyperventilating. It sounded like he was going to… No, he couldn’t- wouldn’t do that to her. But she knew him, this is exactly the type of thing he would do. She didn’t want to jump to any conclusions before she knew for sure.

“Betty, what happened?” Archie asked.

Betty shushed him and dialed another number.

“Mr. Jones, it’s Betty, is Jughead with you?”

“What? No, I thought he was with you.”

“Please listen to me, I think Jughead’s going to do something crazy and it’s going to get him killed, can you think of anything related to the Serpents that he could be doing? He called me to tell me that he loved me and that he would never stop loving me and I’m scared that he’s going to do something stupid.”

“Holy shit, I know exactly what he’s doing, I’m on it.” With that, FP hung up.

“Wait! What is he doing, where is he?” Betty continued to no avail, he was already gone.

“Archie! Jug’s in trouble!”

“How? Why?”

“I have no idea, but I have to know, I’m going to the Whyte Wyrm. You coming?”

“Of course.”

They ran over there as fast as was humanly possible. They showed up panting, just as FP was assigning groups. Before they could make their existence known, FP picked up his phone and they saw that the caller had an anonymous ID. FP put it on speaker. Archie and Betty snuck into the room to hear what was happening.

“Why FP Jones, surprised to hear from me?”

“Penny Peabody, I should have known, where the hell is my son?”

“Hmm, you want something from me? I think it’s a bit late to ask me for another favor, don’t you think?”

“If you tell me now, maybe I’ll let you live. If not, I will find him and tattoo or no tattoo I will kill you myself.”

“That’s cute that you think I’m scared of you. If you really want to know, he’s at Fox Forest, or what’s left of him anyway. Take your time though, he won’t be going anywhere.”

The line clicked off and FP threw the phone against the wall.

“Serpents! Let’s go!” He saw Betty and Archie, “You two may as well come along too.”

The big group rode over, terrified, not knowing what to expect. 

When they arrived, they could only see a smoldering fire, as if the spot had just been vacated. FP ran ahead of the group into the forest. Archie and Betty held onto each other while Betty freaked out.

“What if something happened to him, Arch? And I wasn’t there?”

“This is isn’t your fault Betty, it’s going to be alright.”
