Betty's PoV

The stair case only led down a few steps before becoming a corridor. The cold concrete floor stained with a trail of- I can only assume- Jugheads blood. A thick feeling of sickness takes over me but I press on walking, I have to.

Reaching the end of the corridor I find an old wooden door. Looking back at Toni (who followed closely behind) I get a nod of reassurance before pressing the door open.

"Jug-" I almost yell his name and stop myself in case there's someone in the room. Jugheads there. So's Archie. They're tied to chairs.
I rush over to Jughead. Adrenaline rushing though me and I desperately tug at the ropes. Analysing Jugheads head I can still see the dark read stain in his hair from the blood. His eyes stir open and I desperately try to free him.
"Betty.." he murmurs but I quiet him
"It's ok jug, we're gonna free you now don't worry" I say quickly, freeing one of his wrists.

I'm sure Veronica's doing the same with Archie only a meter from me but right now jug is my main focus. I'd analysed the room as I came in, there was a door to my right, I wasn't sure where that lead and a door to my left; from which we can in. The rest of the room was blank. The floor walls along with the roof and floor were grey, cracked concrete with only a bulb hanging down to light the room.

Just as I untie Jugheads other wrist there's a noise to the right of me. A door opening.
"What the fuck" the voice causes my blood to turn cold and I freeze.

Kevin.
