My eyes fluttered opened to sunshine from a open window and singing birds. Pfft yeah right. When I fell asleep everything started black. Then I started to see my brother and all of the serpents fighting the ghoulies. I tried to run to my brothers aid as I watched him get beat with a studded bat but I couldn't move. When my brother couldn't move anymore the man pulled out a gun and shot him. Then the scene transferred to Toni I watched as she sat duct taped to an old sofa with Malachi and Penny close by arguing I tried so hard to untape her but I still couldn't move. Then I saw Sweat Pea he was fighting with Archie and then Archie pulled out a gun. The shot rang in my ear when the tears came out all at once. Then I saw Fangs Reggie appeared with a gun but didn't shoot him someone else did. And I just stood there watching crying trying to warn them about what was coming. I shot up from the bed screaming and crying I started to panic because I couldn't breathe. My head turned quickly to take in my surroundings when I felt hands rubbing on my arm soothingly. "Are you ok princess?" I nodded my head no as my head sank into his chest and started sobbing. "What happened," he asked. I could practically feel him staring down at me worried." It was terrible they killed Jughead and then Archie shot you. An-and then Malachi had Toni," I started to cry again as he rubbed my back in circles gently. "Hey its ok. We're all fine," I nodded and went to check the alarm clock. 6:30. I smiled as I realized that I could finally get to school on time. I ran to the shower I stripped and stepped in the warm water. I could feel my muscles relax. Then I realized I didn't have any clothes. I finished the shower stepped out and told Sweat Pea bye. When I got back home I found my dad sleeping on the old pull out sofa. I walked into my dads room confused and Jughead awake pacing. "Oh A.J. hey um I've been meaning to ask you this. Um ok I'm running for student body president and I was wondering if you would be my co-president with Betty?" he looked so hopeful but I nodded my head no. "Sorry Jug I was for real when I said I don't do politics, but you will for sure have my vote and Sweat Pea's," he still looked sad but nodded anyways. I ran into mine and Jug's room to find Betty sleeping in my bed. Her soft snores made me laugh as I walked out of mine and Jughead's room shaking my head. "Ok don't tell me Betty is living here," I chuckled as I walked back in my dads room. He nodded. "Dad said it was ok and I didn't want to give her my bed because everyone who lives here knows you have the best bed. She can move over to mine if you want her too," I shook my head rapidly. "No it's fine I was just wondering but one more question why is dad sleeping on the couch?" his eyes flickered to the hallway that led back to the living room area. "He said he wanted to get use to sleeping on the couch. He figured you could sleep in my bed and I'll sleep in his," I could feel my eyebrows get closer to each other as I tried to figure out why I couldn't just sleep on the couch. I shrugged and walked into my room and started to search my side of the closet. I pulled out a shirt, jacket, pants, and my serpent jacket. I wore this:

I walked out of my room to find my dad up and eating cereal at the table. I grabbed an apple and sat down. "Hey dad so I was thinking. Jughead should take his bed back, then you can have yours and I can sleep on the couch," he nodded his no at me. "Nah you don't have to," I sighed and chuckled. "Dad you and me both know you have a bad back. Besides I'm younger so if I hurt myself it should heal faster," he chuckled at me and shrugged. "Ok I guess. I feel like a bad dad letting you sleep on the couch," I nodded my head no. "Dad it's fine just let me," he nodded and I hugged him then ran out. Sweat pea pulled up and I pulled myself on the back of his bike. We pulled up to school and I jumped off and started to walk in. "Aren't you gonna give me a kiss," he fake pouted as he pointed at his cheek. I walked over and went to kiss his cheek. I stopped and pulled out my tongue. I wiped a line on his cheek. I laughed as he started to chase after me. He caught up to me and I ran into the auditorium. He pushed me on the ground and started to tickle me. I giggled and begged him to stop. When he did stop I pushed myself off the ground to find there was a questioning for the running student body president. I felt my cheeks heat up as I sat on the closest chair I could find which was one away from Fangs I smiled at him while he just laughed at me. Sweat Pea sat next to me still grinning. They talked for awhile and Sweat Pea asked a question but I didn't care I was to busy trying to not fall asleep. When it ended Jughead and Betty ran off and I couldn't find them so I walked outside. I sat under an old tree and pulled out The Seventh son. I started to read when I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out and slid the answer button. I put it to my ear and shivered when his raspy voice hit my ear. "Hey princess how you doing? You see I decided I just had to call you I was meaning to tell you I get out in two weeks. Which means I can get to see more of you. I guess we'll get to have a little fun," I stared at the grass in front of me frozen in fear. "We'll see what my boyfriend has to say about that," I whispered under my breath. "Oh don't worry I'll deal with your boyfriend later," I gasped. "You wouldn't. You need to stay away from him," I could hear him chuckle from the other side. "We'll see," then he hung up. "Hey," I jumped when I watched Sweat Pea sit next to me. He started to look worried. "What wrong princess?" I could feel a tear race down my cheek. "It's him," his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Who," I could feel the tears poor out of my eyes. "Malachi. I'm sorry for not telling you Sweat Pea he's been texting me and calling me. Sweat Pea he's getting out in two weeks. And he told me if I don't- if I don't go with him when he gets out. He-he-he promised me he would kill everyone I loved including you. And Sweat Pea I can't stop crying," he looked worried as he rubbed gentle circles on my back. "Hey it's ok. Look princess we're not gonna let him get to you or us," I nodded as I tried to wipe my tears away. "And everyone needs to cry sometimes," I smiled weakly at him when he picked me up bridal style. "We're going to pop's," I nodded and he carried me to his bike and placed me on the front. He sat behind me and placed his arms around mine to control the controls. He directed the motorcycle to pop's and we walked into it and pop smiled at us. "What would you two lovebirds like," I laughed at him. "Double chocolate milkshake please," Sweat Pea ordered a chocolate milkshake and we sat down. We talked for a couple hours and we decided to go back to school. When we got there we had a swords and serpents meeting. I sat there pondering if I should tell my dad about Malachi or not. When I looked up I saw Sweat Pea standing up and talking to Jughead. "Your partnering with the traitors daughter. To us that's a slap in the face for that you won't get our vote," he looked at me sadly but never said anything then left. I sighed and shook my head. "I'm sorry Jug," he nodded at me and we headed back to our trailer. Jughead and Betty sat on the couch opposite of me. "What are Sweat Pea and Fangs's problem. What do I have to do to prove I'm a serpent? Wear more plaid," I looked up and felt my anger start to overcome. I swallowed it down and sighed. "Your mother is serpent enemy number one Betty. She's been attacking the serpents for a long time now," she looked at me worriedly. "Your right," she looked down obviously thinking about something when my dad walked in with his phone pressed to his ear. "Turn on channel 8," I grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v. I quickly changed it to channel 8 which was the news channel. They found it. They found the car. I watched and could feel a seed growing in my stomach. It was a seed of fear. We went to pop's with Alice. "I can't believe they found it," I said. "We should've dealt with it better," Jughead said into his hands. "How were you supposed to know the scrap yard searches the river for throw offs. It's dumb luck," my dad said. "More like Jones luck," I said sarcastically back. The doorbell rang as the sheriff walked in. The whole table tensed up and watched him walk to the bar and talked to the waitress. "Look if anyone comes asking questions we don't know anything. We are going to act completely normal," my dad instructs. "Which means your coming home young lady," I almost wanted to laugh at Alice for saying that but Betty looked infuriated by her. "No you are not going to use this as a way to manipulate me to go back there," I sighed as I got up and walked to pop asking for a refill. I came back and looked at an angry father. "What? You said act normal?" I heard Jughead slightly chuckle when pop walked over with my milkshake. "Thanks pop," he nodded at me then left. We went back to the trailer and I decided to go to sleep. My dad let me sleep in his bed after about thirty minutes I could hear the door open and close. I assumed that it was just Betty and Jughead and went back to sleep. I drifted off and everything went black that's when I started to see everything that I did last night. I tried to help my friends but I couldn't move again and then I couldn't breathe and then I died. I watched my own funeral, I watched all of my friends come and go. I watched Sweat Pea kill himself and I jumped out of bed. Someone was banging on our door I checked my dads alarm clock. 7:00. I sighed and threw the comforter off of me. I walked into the living room to find Alice and my dad scolding Jughead and Betty. I was still a bit scared as I sat down next to Chic. Jughead looked at me worriedly. "So help me F. P. If you don't back me up with this I will rip this trailer apart with my barehands," my dad looked at me worriedly to and I smiled at him reassuringly. Then he looked back at Alice and nodded. Betty sighed" Well I'll go pack," I heard Alice say she would go to help and they went through the hallway towards my room. When they were gone my dad and my brother looked at me again concerned. "Are you ok A.J.?" "Yeah why do you ask?" They looked at each other then back at me. "You look whiter than a ghost," I shivered because I could feel the room go cold. "I'm fine," I went to my dads room and walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I really did look terrible. I started to picture Sweat Pea killing himself again and I ran to the toilet and threw up. I sat on the ground next to the toilet silent. I couldn't feel anything I couldn't think anything I was empty. I eventually decided to make myself look presentable so I walked into my room and went to the bathroom where I found Betty and Alice. "Can I grab the make up bag please," Betty looked at me through the mirror and I could see the worry grow in her eyes. "A.J. are you ok?" I nodded and grabbed the make up bag and walked out. I grabbed some more comfortable clothes from the closet too. I walked back to my dads bathroom. I sighed as I changed into the sweats.
