Who: Betty and Elise What: Betty has demon problems, yo When: Today Where: Panpipes Warnings: TBA
Betty was hesitant about visiting Elise for a number of reasons. She almost didn't want to believe what was happening to her but the nightmares themselves weren't stopping. She couldn't talk to Veronica about it, couldn't even bring it up to her best friend and there was no way she was going to tell the likes of Jughead or Cheryl what was going on with her. Betty's little circle was smaller now so adding in one more seemed like a huge step. Whatever was happening to her was not normal and she needed help. Betty needed to take that step forward even though she was afraid to.
It wasn't hard to backtrack through her messages and recall where Elise worked. Betty lied to Veronica about where she was going and luckily Archie was at work so she didn't need to tell him. It took a massive amount of makeup to cover the dark shadows under her eyes and Betty realized that she was almost out of caffeine pills when she took a couple. Whatever helped keep Betty awake she had it because she couldn't sleep. Betty didn't want to.
It didn't take long to arrive at Panpipes, the establishment that Elise worked, the air and the mood eerie as she contemplated whether she should go in or not. Betty knew that demons were real but she didn't want to believe that there was something coming after her. Something dark that wanted to find her through her dreams, to use her for its own benefit.
Taking a breath, Betty pushed forward as she walked in, her eyes shooting up to the tiny bell that rang above her head that almost made her jump. She knew it was the lack of sleep that made her jittery but nothing could be helped. Betty was tired, her body and mind were at that breaking point.
"Hello, I'm looking for Elise?" Betty didn't realize that she was already talking to the blond as she approached the counter, her brain a little fuzzy on faces because the only thing that Betty saw most days out of the corner of her eye was that thing.
