Jughead POV:

I blinked. Once. Twice. 

This can't be real!

I hung up before Sweet Pea could say anything. 

I stared hard at the picture. She and... 

I saved the picture and went back inside. I found Veronica on the bed reading a book.

"Hey Forsythe!" She pauses. "Why is your heart beating so fast?"

"I- I- I think I'm gonna go back to the hotel, to think." I stutter.

I run downstairs and get in the car. I turn on the engine and drive until I reach the hotel. My heart is beating so fast and loud that I can hear it. I rush upstairs to my room and lock the door. I pace around the room until I hear a knock.

"Uh! Who is it?!" I yell. I was scared out of my mind.

"It's Betty! Jughead are you okay?"

"Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah, come in."

"Lock all the doors." Betty's skin looks pale like she just saw a ghost. 

"Betty, are you okay?"

"Hermione Apollonia Lodge, born in 1986, met Hiram Lodge in 2000."

"Betty why are you saying that?" My heart races faster.

"Because Jughead, I want to know about FP Jones, when was he born?"

Veronica POV:

Jughead ran out of the door. I watched him pull out of the driveway and drive away.  I look back and see his phone on the ground. 

What the...

I stare at his last text. A picture. A picture of...

No, no, no, no.

 I drop the phone. My knees buckled. I hear a faint sound. 

Then darkness.

Archie POV:

I come back to the hotel room. I walk inside with the milk and groceries with a confused look on my face. 

"Betty, I brought som-" Betty wasn't in the room. "Betty?"

I walk outside, and make my way to Jughead and Veronica's room.

I walk inside. "Hey Betty, what are you doing he-" I look at the scary expressions on their faces.

 Betty gets up and looks at me. She was clearly scared and had tears in her eyes. She turned back to Jughead. 

"Jug, he has to know."

I look from Betty to Jughead. 

Why are they so scared?

"Archie sit down. Get a drink, you'll need it."

After Explanation

"Wow. You've gone crazy."

"I haven't gone crazy!!" Jughead protested.

"I'm sorry that I don't believe in vampires, and werewolves but somethings are just that, fiction!"

"What can we do to convince you?!" Betty yelled.

"How about proof?!" I shot back.

"Fine." Jughead grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the hotel. We all got into a car and started driving. 

"Where are we going?" I said scared.

"We are going to your evidence!" 

We drive into the driveway of a huge mansion. We all get out of the car and walk towards the door. 

A familiar lady opens it. 

"I'm trying to escape, and yo-" she squints, "Didn't I meet you at the supermarket?" She asks.

"Yeah, you did! Sorry for bothering you, my friends think vampires exist."

Her eyes widen. "Archie, you stay out here, the rest of you may come in."

I try to protest, but they already walked in. Weirdest part is that she didn't deny the part about vampires. 

Who is she?

Veronica POV:

I wake up, my body cold and my conscious warm. 

I get up form the bed I was resting on. 

A strange woman stood next to me.

"Hey, I'm Bonnie." She says softly.

"You're Damon's friend, the witch?"

"Yup, and I'm guessing you want to know about the picture?"

"Yeah, can you tell me anything about it?"

"We-"

Jughead, Betty, and Katherine burst through the door.

"Katherine?!" Bonnie gets up to stop her but Katherine vamps towards her and takes her out.

Katherine walks toward me and grabs my collar, "You better explain yourself right now!" She shouts at me.

"What do you want to me explain?!" I said grabbing her hands trying to make her let go of me.

"Of the picture! Do you not understand?! Maybe you need to see it again."

She grabs Jughead's phone that's on the ground and shoves it in my face.

"Explain."

I look at the picture again. Herimone Lodge and FP Jones.
