Jugheads POV
I sat on Bettys bed as she slept and I said "are you sure it was safe?"

I sighed and Archie nodded "it is, if not she would've killed the person."

I sighed and said "why does your mother mean so much to her?"

He smiled saying "Betty and my mother have been together forever, my mother is everything to her, she died and Betty didn't get to say goodbye, now that she's here...Betty just wants her to be with her again..."

I frowned and he said "she's just getting weaker... she's not making it past tonight."

I frowned and looked at Betty as he said "when Betty wakes up, bring her to the room?"

I nodded and he left. Soon enough Betty woke up and she groaned and got up and saw me.

She said "what happened?"

I sighed and she said "my mother...the wolf!"

I grabbed her saying "Betts..."

She frowned and I said "you don't want to kill anyone..."

She told me "my mom can't die...she can't Jughead I have to..."

I said "hey..."

I held her face and she said "my mom...my mom she can't leave me. I can't have that..."

I frowned saying "I'm sorry Betty...but you have too okay?"

She cried and I sighed as I got up I saw Forsyth.

He said "let me talk to her."

I said "as if I'd let her go anywhere near you."

He said "please... look I've seen you love her... please..."

I sighed and let him go and he went inside the room.

Forsyths POV
I saw Elizabeth crying and I sighed and remembered the days she was like this back in 1864.

I sat next to her as she said "leave me alone Forsyth please..."

I frowned and said "Elizabeth..."

She looked at me and I held her hand saying "remember the first time I visited your home? I could hear and your mother all the time talking about marriage."

She sighed and I said "when your mother found out about me she still wanted you to be happy. It's okay Elizabeth...remember the day you lost me? It was difficult. But I watched over you everyday...the same will be for your mother..."

She frowned and said "but I lost her once...I don't want that again...at least not like this..."

I sighed and held her hands saying "Elizabeth you must be strong for her...she saved you because she loves you. She wants you to be able to live your life, take that cure...be happy...that's what I wanted as well..."

She smiled and said "how will I keep going?"

I frowned and said "it'll be difficult yes...and yes she will be on the other side but...I will feel the pain she feels. I can talk to her for you..."

She said "you would do that for me..."

I nodded and she cried and hugged me.

I held her and she said "thank you so much..."

I nodded and said "I love you Elizabeth...I'd do everything for you...I'll always love you...even when...your heart belongs to another..."

She looked at me saying "if my heart didn't belong to another...I'd love you...so much..."

I smiled and she said "thank you..."

I nodded and said "your brother said there's not much time left...you should go..."

She nodded and ran and I sighed and frowned gently and walked over to the room.

Bettys POV
I saw Archie with a stake as my mother had her eyes closed and breathed slowly and I walked over and held her hand.

And cried saying "mama..."

She saw me and smiled and coughed.

Archie said "she needs to go..."

I looked at her and she said "it's gonna be okay...I want...to see you graduate...I want...you both to take the damn cure and live your lives..."

I gulped and Archie said "we promise mother...we will..."

I cried and Archie smiled gently saying "mother close your eyes okay?"

She nodded and I looked at Archie as he grabbed my hands and held the stake.

He told me "close your eyes Betty..."

I smiled and nodded and did so. But as I did my vision began mixing and moving and I saw my brother and I back in 1864. I looked at him and he smiled and we saw our mother walk out of our old home.

She scoffed saying "I know what you two did..."

I smiled and Archie laughed and she walked over.

She said "this is nice...being back here...I miss this..."

I smiled and she hugged the both of us and I held her tightly.

She said "you both deserve the world..."

I sniffled and my mother held my face.

"My Elizabeth...I can say goodbye now...the proper way..."

I sniffled and she said "I love you...so much..."

I frowned and she kissed my forehead.

She smiled and said "I need you to be able to find peace okay? Make Jughead take the cure then you, and have children, make me happy, be able to live your life...I want you too..."

I smiled and nodded and she said "graduate, go to college, get a real job..."

I sniffled and said "I promise mama...I promise I will."

She nodded and held Archie and said "you are the opposite of your father, you are no coward, you are honorable, brave, you are the most amazing boy I have ever met Archibald...I know you will do great things in life. Do it okay?"

He nodded and she smiled "kill me..."

I frowned and Archie looked at me. My vision went back to normal as I jabbed the stake into her. I cried and held her as her skin turned grey and I cried holding her. I screamed and Archie held me.

I said "mama..."

I cried and Archie held me tightly.

He said "I know Betty...I know..."

I cried and said "she's gone...she's...she's gone."

All of a sudden I remembered and ran out seeing Forsyth.

He said "she's here..."

He looked in front of him and he said "she tells me...she wants you to be happy...all of you...even me...she hopes to see you all be able to get over the guilt, she's gonna be happier. She's gonna try and find peace by seeing you two find it..."

He smiled and said "she's loves you...with all her heart."

He smiled and I smiled and he said "she says goodbye..."

I cried and he winced and groaned as he fell to the floor. He screamed and held himself up and I went up to him and he held his arms to his chest and shook his head.

He said "I'm sorry..."
