Serpent By Blood

11

Jugheads Pov:
It was the day that me and Betty were leaving the cabin but as I was packing I got a call. "Hello?" I spoke into the phone because it was a number I didn't recognize. A woman cleared her throat before speaking. "Jug-head, this is Penelope Blossom." I hated how she said my name, she separated it from Jug and head. "I'm here to warn you, if you don't break up with Betty I will hurt her." The voice definitely sounded threatening and I had to gulp before replying. "What, I'm not going to break up with the love of my life just to please you." She laughed and I was getting angry. "Oh you see, I think you will because I have my eyes on your girlfriend this very moment and I could kidnap her right now if you don't agree." My body began to fill with rage. "What the hell kind of sick twisted person are you?!?" She stayed quiet over the phone for a few seconds before replying. "So I take that as a yes." I really was trying to avoid agreeing with her because I loved Betty with all of my heart. "She's a serpent, she can take you."
"Yes, yes she could but I doubt she could take a bullet that was speeding into both of her legs." I pounded my fist in the table. "Why, why do you want to ruin both of our lives?" I say trying to calm myself down. "Jug-head I don't want to hurt you, I want to hurt Betty, she doesn't deserve happiness and I will either make you break her heart if I will rip it out of her chest." As soon as she said that she hung up the phone. What the hell am I going to do?

I finished gathering up the few clothes we had and I went in the car with Betty. I didn't want to break her heart but I knew I had to for her safety. The ride home was pretty silent which usually I would be worried about but not now because it gave me some time to think. I got to pops where we had said we were going to go but I couldn't sit down and have a conversation with her knowing I would ruin it all in the end. "Betts, I-I have to tell you something." She walked closer and I saw her happiness that I was about to destroy. I was already holding back the tears but I managed to choke out. "Betty I think we should...I think we should break up." Her face dropped and her eyes began to fill with tears. "W-what?" She said in disbelief. I hated that I had to repeat it but I couldn't have her get hurt. "I'm breaking up with you." The second I said that there was like a light switch in her eyes that went from sadness to anger. She got closer to me and with every step I was starting to fear for my life. She got really close to me and I had no idea what she was about to do, until I was on the ground in pain. I was praying to god at this point but to make it worse she had to finish it off my kicking me one last time in the stomach, and then she was gone. I hated myself, but maybe a burger could help me so I sat down and ordered from pops once I regained the ability to walk.

A/N I'm so sorry about that and I'm also really sorry for the short chapter but I will make it up in the next chapter, I promise.
