In Unity There is Strength

chapter 13

Nova P.O.V

It had been 2 hours since I was held at gun point and tied up with my friend in the back of the truck Rose and I were terrified but all we could do was just sit there and cry

30 minutes later we arrive at this house that was all torn up and creepy he opened the door to the truck and told us to get out me and Rose didn't move one bit and refused once we refused he grabbed his gun and screamed at us saying GET OUT OF THE CAR!! so Rose and I nodded our heads at each other and got out of the car and he brought us to this underground storm shelter in his house he took us inside and took the duck tape off our mouths and than locked us in.

Rose P.O.V
After they locked us in, I felt like I was gonna have another panic attack. Later the people came back with a black ski mask to hide their faces. They tied Nova and I in a chair, they tied around our ankles, thighs, and chest. In front of us, there was a table, that had stuff to torture people with.
"you scared?" he asked, taunting me with the shiny silver gun in his hand. "No," I said calmly as I looked away, my mind screaming Show no fear! Under no circumstances let him see how scared you are! I look at Nova  with a sad smile, she gave one too.

*30 minutes of torturing us*
After they tortured us, we were a bloody mess. We were unrecognizable. They dragged me away from Nova, I cried tears. She had tears in her eyes too. Before we knew it, that was the last time we saw each other for a long time.

Cheryl P.O.V
I didn't get any sleep last night all I did was sorry sick about my daughter Nova she and her friend Rose hasn't returned back to the party yesterday night and with a killer on the loose that made me even more scared for them
At 9:00am, I arrived at the Sheriffs station. To report my kid as missing, FP Jones said that Jughead and Betty were doing the same for Rose. I could tell FP was worried for his grand daughter.

After I was finished at the Sheriffs station I went back to Toni

Toni P.O.V
At 10:00Am I here a knock at the door I rushed to the door thinking it may be Nova returning home but it was just my wife Cheryl. I asked Cheryl to come lay on the couch with me

"How are you holding up babe?" I asked Cheryl "not very well I'm worried about our daughter Toni" Cheryl replied she leaned over into my shoulder and started crying saying "Nova please come home..."

Jughead P.O.V
As I paced around the house worrying about Rose for hours. For the 5 hours I saw her yesterday, in the last 2 months. She's goes missing again. I went out on a nightly drive, to clear my mind. When driving, I found one of her belongings. Caleb's bracelet, that she never takes off. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. Then I kept on driving for another 3 hours, then I went back home. How can I tell Betty, Rose is missing. Betty had to help her mom with something last night. When Betty finally got home, I told her everything.

Betty P.O.V
When I got home, I wasn't expecting to hear that Rose is missing. I had tears in my eyes, and cried on Jughead's chest getting his shirt wet. I called FP to report that Rose is missing. I'm hoping Rose will come home soon. After an hour of crying Jughead and I went to bed, but none of us could sleep.

Nova P.O.V
After the creepy guy had dropped me off in my room separate from Rose I passed out. After time passed by I woke up. I had a huge headache and every bit of my body was in pain I was so scared of what the future would hold that I was paralyzed I couldn't even cry because I was so paralyzed after more time passed by the creepy dude stopped by my room and gave me an old piece of bread and he suggested I eat it so that I don't die from starvation but I refused to eat it.

Rose P.O.V

I was numb from all the pain, when I woke up, I saw myself strapped to a table. In the corner of my eyes I see this creepy dude with a knife. "What we're gonna do now is cut off your serpent tattoo. So behave missy." He said with an evil smile. My heart was pounding out of my chest.  As the knife came closer to me, I tried to break free squirming my way out. The creepy dude, stuck the knife in my upper thigh where my serpent tattoo is, cutting it open. I was in so much pain, that I crying bloody murder, screaming so loud. As I saw my tattoo was gone, and my thigh was gushing out blood. I managed to get out of ropes around me. I grabbed the things to stitched my wound back up, and bandaged it up. The dude came back and handcuffed my hands and feet to this  wall stretching my body. My body never felt so much pain. Whoever is responsible for this, they are so gonna pay for what they did to Nova and I. That's for sure.
