Bettys POV:
"What do you want to watch?" Jughead asked me as we crashed down on the couch with our popcorn and sodas. "How about Stranger Things" I suggested. He agreed and turned it on. We watched it for a bit.  My eyes began to get tired and I drifted off to sleep right there in Jugs arms.

(This is a dream)
   I was back. In my old house from a bigger town. The place I lived before i moved to Riverdale. I was in my old room when my dad bursted open and in marches my dad. "Elizabeth" he yells as he slaps me. "Your visitors are here" he grinned evily and pulled me out of my room. He brought me down the stairs and into our basement. I knew what was about to happen. Every times he brought me down here I was forced to do this.

     "Hello pretty lady" a man said. I looked around and seen 3 men. All looked about 30 years old. "What, whats h-happening"  I asked frantically. My dad left me down in the basement with those men. One guy spoke up. "My name is Joey, hold still for me" he laughed. He began to undersea himself while the other 2 guys undressed me. I was to weak to fight them off but I tried. I screamed and wiggled but the 2 men weren't lettering go of me. The Joey guy walked towards me and slapped me once before he grabbed my hips and leaned in.

  "Ah no!" I screamed and sat up quickly. Jughead looked at me in shock while my eyes were flooding with tears. "Baby, come here" he spoke and reached his arms out for me. The dream I just had all came rushing back to me. I realized that it was a memory from back when I lived in Ohio. My dad would let men come and rape me. They would come a few times a month. I started crying in Jugs arms as I remembered everything. I hadn't had a nightmare in a while and I wondered why I had one now. "Hey Betty, look at me" Jughead said.

    I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "What did you dream about?" He asked me curiously. I thought for a moment. Should I tell him? I mean, my dad might still live next door to us. He would literally go and try to kill him. I shook my head no and laid back down in his lap. "Just a nightmare" I said. "Betty, was it your dad?" He asked me. I shook my head no again. "Then who?" He asked me again. "Um, someone I used to know" I told him. It wasn't a complete lie.

    "Betts, please tell me, you haven't had one in a while and I want to know" he begged. I looked at him and his eyes full of wander. "It was just a memory, of something" I told him and smiled sadly. "Oh, ok" he hesitated. "It was a just memory from when I lived in Ohio Jug" I was interrupted by the front door opening and Jellybean running in. Fp followed close behind her. She ran up the stairs with a smile on her face. Jughead groaned

     I wiped away a few stray tears that were still on my face. "What's the matter Betty?" Fp asked me when he seen my tears. "Oh, I just had a nightmare again. No big deal" I shrugged it off. "Oh ok, well I got Pops!" He exclaimed and rose up 2 bags. "Oh yea" Jughead said and stood up basically throwing me back on the couch. "Hey Juggie" I laughed. He pulled out 2 burgers and tossed me one. "For you Princess" he smirked and pecked me on the lips.

     "So Betty, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come to the bar with us tonight. We have a meeting with the serpents" Fp said to me. "Well yea I'll come but are you sure it's ok, since I'm not a serpent?" I asked.
"Oh, well technically you are a serpent by blood, royal actually" my eyes widened after he said that. I looked at Jughead. "But he's the next king, what a minute...are we" I started. No way. Me and Jug can't be related. "No no y'all aren't related" Fp laughed. "Hold up, then how is she royal too?" Jughead asked as he took a bite of his burger. "Well, me and Alice used to be together Betty, she was my Queen for a while and she was never replaced" Fp said. I furrowed my eyes. My mom was, or is a serpent?

    "Me and you're mom loved each other so much, but she insisted that she loved Hal and she got back with him and had you. Hal thought that I was your dad, which might be why he disliked you" Fp explained. My eyes teared up. Why would my mom go back to Hal! She should of stayed with Fp. "Well then why did my mom start hating me?" I asked. "She loved you so much Betty, but Hal threatened to leave her because of you, so I guess that's why". I felt the tears grow in my eyes. "W-what" I asked. I was a bit confused. "Why would she leave you?" I asked him. He just shrugged his shoulders. Jughead tightened his grip around me probably sensing that I was getting upset. "No" I said to jug and ripped myself out of his arms. I ran up the stairs and into Jugs room.

    I don't really know why I was so upset about this. I wished mom never went back to Hal. I wished she wouldn't stayed with Fp. She would've had a way better life and I wouldn't have been beaten or raped. Or abused. Why in the world did she leave him? I sat in silence as the tears rolled down my cheeks. One after another.

Jugheads POV:
"So, when you got with my mom she didn't become the queen?" I asked dad. "She didn't want nothing to do with the serpents, which is part of the reason she left us." Dad told me. "So, did you and Alice have a kid?" I asked. I was just curious. I mean, they were together. "No Jug, now go check on her please" he laughed and pointed up the stairs.
