AN: Hey guys I got obsessed with Riverdale because obvi I have no life, and then I got thinking about the characters and this kind of scenario, so I hope you all enjoy!

She felt the vibration of her cell phone in her pocket before she heard the ringtone. She dug into her pocket and pulled it out pressing the answer button and putting the phone to her ear.

"Hello"

"Hunny where are you?" her moms voice was frantic and she sounded out of breath.

"What?" she said confused. "I'm out"

"You need to get home now!" she could hear what she thought was a car engine turning on and then tires screeching in the background.

"Why what's going on?" she asked.

"Jason Blossom's body was just found. He was murdered" and with that the phone line went dead.

000000000000000000000000

Her phone ringtone caught her off guard as it was so late. She picked it up off the table.

"Hey Betty, what's going on?"

"V where are you?" she asked frantically.

"I'm at pops, why?"

"Stay there I'm on my way. Call the guys, something happened; we need to talk"

Veronica, Betty and Jughead sat at a booth in pops waiting for Archie to arrive. When Betty checked her phone again her phone read 10:47.

"God where is he?" she groaned.

"Relax, he is coming" Veronica said. "Why did you call us here anyways?"

"I'll tell you all when Archie gets here" her fingers fiddling with each other on her lap trying to control her breathing. Not even a moment later the door opened and Archie appeared with a flustered look on his face as he practically ran over to the table.

"Thank god" Jughead said rolling his eyes. "Betty was about to pop a blood vessel in her eye". Betty side eyed him from her seat at the table as Archie sat across from her, beside Veronica.

"So what is going on? Why did you call us in such a huge panic?" Archie asked.

Betty took a deep breath trying to steady her breathing so she could get the words out. "My mom called me"

"And?"

"Jason Blossoms body was found" Archie's mouth hung wide open and Veronica's eyes were as wide as a cat. "But he didn't drown" she said shaking his head. "There was a bullet wound in his head"

"Somebody shot him" Jughead mumbled out.

"Which mean somebody killed him, which also means there is a murder on the lose now" she whispered the last part out so other customers wouldn't hear. "Were not safe here anymore"

"So what are we going to do then?" Archie said shrugging his shoulders. "It's not like we can go anywhere or get out of this town"

Veronica wasn't paying attention to the conversation as the words ran over in her head. Get out of this town.

"Wait" she said jumping in not paying attention to whatever the three of them were saying. "We can get out of this town, I have a place"

"A place?" Jughead said raising his eyebrows.

"A safe house. It's only really used for emergencies but no emergency has been greater then this. I could get the keys for it and we could go there"

"Wait, what about school?" Betty jumped in.

"A teenager was just murdered and you're worried about what's going on in English class"

Betty rolled her eyes knowing what she said was stupid but it was true. "So where is this safe house?"

"A few hours north. If we leave in the next hour we could be there around three am. Its safe, quiet and out of town"

"I'm in" Archie said quickly turning to look at Veronica. "I trust her and I'm in"

"Okay me too" The words said coming out of Betty's mouth. "I'm totally scared and need to get out of here now"

"So were all agreeing then to go?" The three of them nodding their heads. "Okay everybody go and pack a bag, especially with thick clothes because I know it's going to be cold up there and it wouldn't surprise me if there was snow too. I'll pick everyone up and we agree to be on the road by midnight no later agreed?"

"Agreed" came the word from three different voices.

It was 12 am on the dot when Veronica steered the car onto the highway. The sky was dark and no stars had come out tonight but the moon was white, pale and full; hanging in the sky over the car as they drove off into the darkness. There were a few cars on the highway but nothing that was going to slow them down. While Veronica drove, Betty sat in the passenger seat with Jughead and Archie in the back. In the trunk of the SUV held their bags along with extra blankets and pillows. The radio wasn't on so the car ride was silent for a long time until Betty broke the silence about 20 minutes in.

"Who's car is this by the way?" she asked.

"It's a backup emergency car, I stole the keys to it" Betty nodded her head before rubbing her eyes and yawning. Normally she was sleeping at this point. "Did any of you guys tell your parents where we were going?"

"My dad was sleeping when I got home so I just packed my stuff and left" Archie said.

"My dad wasn't home" Jughead said.

"When my mom called me she said that I needed to get home but when I got there she wasn't there at all, or my dad. So I just didn't say anything"

"Does us escaping town right after his murder look suspicious?" Archie asked through the darkness of the car. "I mean nobody knows where were going or that we have even left. I just think it makes us look like we did it"

"Well I know I'm in the clear. I hadn't moved here before Jason was killed so" Veronica said.

"But what do we say when our parents contact us?" Betty questioned.

"Lets just cross that bridge when we come to it okay?" Veronica said. And then for the rest of the car ride it was silent.

Two and half hours later Veronica was driving down a dirt road that was coated in a foot of snow. Along the dirt road was dirt driveways that branched off that lead up to houses that sat in the forest. In the back the boys had fallen asleep while Betty was yawning so much she was pretty sure she was going to fall asleep in a few seconds. But suddenly she felt the car turn and when she looked up they were now driving up a dirt driveway into the forest as the tree's started to overtake the drive way.

Soon there was mumbles from the back and then a groan from both boys. "Are we here?" mumbled Archie as his eyes opened and he yawned.

"Yep" Veronica said as she pulled up a bit farther and then put the car in park and turned it off. "Were here" Betty looked up through the windshield and through the darkness of the night she could see a log cabin about the size of a normal house with two stories. There were no lights so it was hard to make out the detail. And just as if on clue little snow flakes started to hit the car windows and stick to the ground and add to the other snow that was already there.

"We should get inside and get settled" Veronica said as she opened the door and popped the trunk. The rest of them got out and made their way to the trunk to grab there bags and pillows. Once their arms were loaded and the trunk was empty they made their way up to the house. The snow crunching under their feet.

"When was the last time someone was here?" Jughead asked. "Not for a couple of years, most people don't know about it" Veronica said as she stuck the key into the lock and opened the door. The four of them walked into the dark cold house.

"Archie can you help me come start the generator to get some light and heat into the place" she asked.

"Yeah sure" he said dropping his stuff by the door before following her back outside into the snow. Now the snow was falling even harder and was quickly covering the heads of both Archie and Veronica. He followed her in silence down a path beside the house where anywhere he looked there was tree's and soon the house couldn't be seen anymore. A few minutes later there was a small shed and by the time they got to the door both of them were covered head to toe in a layer of snow. Archie opened up the door and stepped inside to find a generator. After a few minutes of toying around with the machine it was now roaring with life and by the time they stepped out of the shed the cabin was now in full view as it was lit head to toe as the light was shinning through the windows. They quickly made their way back and when they finally got back into the house Veronica burst into laugher.

"You look like the abominable snowman" she managed to get out without trying to cry from laugher knowing the tears would have frozen to her face with how cold it was.

"Haha very funny" he said shaking his head letting the snow fall from it. Soon Betty and Jughead appeared from around a corner still wearing their coats and boots from the car ride.

"Nice place" Jughead said eyeing the rest of the room.

"You can thank my dad for that" Veronica said trying to hide the eye roll that followed. Then she took her phone out of her pocket and clicked it on the time popping up reading 2:57 am. "Okay there's four rooms here so everyone can get their own room. There's a box at the end of each bed with sheets and blankets and stuff. The heat should kick in within the next fifteen minutes and there's two bathrooms one at the end of each hall. "So I'm going to bed because its almost 3 am and today has just been a shit show of a day so goodnight" she finished with before kicking off her boots at the front door and taking off her coat to hang it on the coat rack by the door. Before grabbing her bag and making her way to the stairs and climbing up them. The rest of them following behind her with there own bags. Soon each one was settled into a room huddled under a dozens of blankets to keep warm until the heat kicked in. And when each of them fell asleep they all dreamed of Jason's killing.

Hope you all enjoyed! Some other characters will be coming into this story very soon so don't think it is just going to be the four of them. Please drop a review and let me know if I should continue xoxo
