Jugheads POV
"There's so much information dating back to possibly witches Jughead! I could be a full on Scarlet witch!"

I then said "that's almost nearly impossible..."

She smirked saying "never say never."

I sighed and said "it's all almost in Latin."

She then said "I'll hire a translator but until then I'm for certain don't tell anyone."

I sighed and she put a finger to my lip "this stays between you and I."

I grabbed her hand as she laughed and I rolled my eyes as Betty walked in.

"Hey guys..."

Veronica smiled as she asked "what's that?"

She looked at me and Veronica said "an old book my mom had...anyways I'm gonna head out."

She ran out and I grabbed Betty's hand saying "don't worry...it was just some stuff she needed to say."

Betty nodded and held my face and kissed me "you trust me, I trust you."

I nodded and she did too as I held her hand and noticed her ring.

"Hey, I've always seen you wear this, why?" I asked.

She said "a family heirloom. My mother said the women always wore it, she wore it, her grandmother wore it, now I wear it."

I smiled and she said "Archie kinda had a similar one bug more bulky."

I nodded saying "do you ever take it off?"

She sighed and told me "it's the only thing left I have of my mother...I can't bear the thought of loosing it..."

I frowned and she frowned too and I said "what type is stone?"

She smirked "Lapus Lazuli."

I nodded saying "unique, like you."

She laughed and nodded as I kissed her forehead. I went to Pops and I was working on my laptop as Pops went to get my order.

As I worked Mr Tate came in and said "hey Jughead."

I smiled and he said "the girl you were with that day...Betty right?"

I nodded saying "yeah...I was kinda confused as to how you even know her she just moved into town."

He nodded saying "I just thought I recognized her...as a babysitter from long ago."

I asked "really?"

He nodded saying "when I was ten years old, now I'm like 40..."

He laughed and I said "Betty Smith?"

He nodded and said "and her brother Archie."

I rose my eyebrows saying "30 years ago..."

He nodded saying "back in 91 Betty and Archie Smith."

I gulped and saw Pops as he said "Jug you okay?"

I nodded saying "y-yeah...thanks Pop..."

I shut my computer and grabbed the bag and left. I was at home as I tapped my fingers and called Veronica.

She answered saying "yes Jughead?"

I asked "hey your dad owns the Register. Any way I could look at the place?"

She said "it's been abandoned for 20 something years, why?"

I then said "please?"

She sighed and said "there's a back door. Enter from there."

I hung up and left quickly. I got to the place and I saw the door and I kicked it in.

I panicked as I aligned it back up and went inside. I coughed as I saw all the old supplies and dust piling up. I sighed and began trying to turn on an old computer but nothing worked. I began looking through some of the old books. I then noticed some photos taken and I saw the home they were living in now. I rose my eyebrows as I saw Pop Tate in a ripped photo of someone else.

"Crap..." I muttered.

As I continued looking through some of the books I found some files hidden inside a cabinet and pulled it out and opened it. I coughed and pulled out the photos and went looking at them as I saw a photo of a Betty.

"What the fuck..." I muttered put.

I pulled it out seeing her at the window of the house as she turned her head in the next photo.

'Brother and sister witness a brutal attack in there home. Body drained of blood. Horror sets in the town.'

I gulped and grabbed the photos and grabbed the articles and shoved them in my bag and left. I got home as I began looking at the photos more and looking up more information about this on my laptop, however it's all been erased as if the Register had never been a thing. Suddenly my door opened and I shut my book and computer and my mom walked in.

"Hey...just grabbing laundry." She informed me.

I nodded and she asked "so...Betty coming over?"

I shook my head as she said "well remember, she's invited whenever she wants."

I nodded and she left and I sighed as I looked at a photo of Betty and I grabbed it. I then put it aside and set it aside with the photos, it looked exact...as if there was still a chance it couldnt be her but I couldn't deny it so easily. I put it all away and then thought of...a person who never ages...a person knows entire histories and dates...a person who doesn't like to look at blood, the ways of change in the face, bodies drained of blood..."

I gripped my photo and let go of it and I shook my head.

"No..." I cried out.

I grabbed all my things and got them in my bag quickly.

As I got everything in my bag I ran downstairs saying "dad!"

He looked at me and I said "can I have the keys to the bike?"

He threw them at me and I caught them and left. I started up the bike and drove off to her house. As I arrived at her house I saw the door wide open. Some sort of fear and panic set in as I rang their doorbell and suddenly saw Betty standing there with something wrapped up in her hand and she saw me confused and worried.

"Jughead?"
