CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
"Still kissing other people's boyfriends?"

After Jughead left Marley sat on her bedroom floor and just cried. Gina and Flo were at Hiram Lodge's open house and Marley was home alone when she got a phone call.

Marley picked up the phone and saw it was an unknown number she rolled her eyes before answering it.

"What?" Marley answered while sniffing, she pushed a curl out of her face as she waited for a reply.

"Hello Marley, it's me. The Black Hood," The voice said, and Marley's eyes widened.

"What do you want?" Marley asked him while standing up. She quickly wiped her tears and cleared her throat.

"I haven't got around to calling you. I've been busy with Betty," He said, and Marley frowned before replying.

"You've been harassing my best friend. I know," Marley said and the Black Hood chuckled.

"Is she still your best friend? After what she done to your aunt?" The Black Hood said, and Marley ignored him.

"You say you're cleansing the town of sinners. Yet you're the biggest one. So, what are you going to do? After you kill everyone are you going to off yourself, like many other pathetic serial killers?" Marley asked while sitting down cross legged on the bed.

"You said kill everyone. I'm only killing sinners," He replied, and Marley nodded even though he couldn't see her.

"Everyone's a sinner. Everyone has sinned," Marley said while looking at her nails.

"In a sense, yes, including your aunt," The Black Hood said, and Marley frowned.

"Why? Because she was a Serpent?" Marley asked him while pushing a curl out of her face.

"No. That's not a sin. She's done so much, Marley. If only you knew," The Black Hood said, and Marley frowned.

"Tell me what she's done," Marley asked while standing up and pacing.

"Time will tell. You broke up with Jughead before I could tell you too," The Black Hood said changing the subject and Marley frowned.

"Who the fuck are you?" Marley asked while running a hand through her curls stressfully.

"Betty knows. Marley, I need you too-" The Black Hood began, and Marley interrupted him.

"No. I'm not Betty, you will not be able to manipulate me into hurting the people I fucking care about. You may have been able to wrap Betty around your finger, but you'll never be able to do the same to me. Call me again, and I promise you, I won't answer. And when we find you-" Marley said before she was interrupted by the Black Hood.

"We? You don't really have anyone, do you? You don't have Betty and you don't have Jughead. It's only a matter of time before you lose Archie and Veronica. Then the friends you have left, Nick, Drew, Dakota, Kevin and Elijah, what makes you think that they will help you?" The Black Hood asked, and Marley angrily clenched her fists.

"Then when I find you, and I will fucking find you. You will regret messing with my friends and my family and this Town. I guarantee you, that you will be behind bars, if it's the last thing I do." Marley said before hanging up. She threw her phone on the bed, next to her dog and started pacing.
