From here to the Moon and Back

12 "Hal is dead"

Hal came closer to me and pulled his hook toward me. When he passed it around my neck, I moved away instinctively. I was scared.

"Don't be afraid," he said and drove the hook to the adhesive tape. After a while, he stuck the hook and cut it. I took a deep breath right away.

"What do you want, Hal?" I asked quietly, and he laughed.

"FP didn't say anything to you?" he asked with a smile and I raised my eyebrows.

"About what?"

"That I'm not Hal." he answered, and I opened my eyes wide.

The man came closer to me and only now did I see his face exactly. It was not Hal. It was ...

"Henry" I murmured in a low voice. "Are you and Hal in collusion?"

He laughed again.

"Hal is dead," he said quietly. "I killed him personally and cut off his hand so that everyone would think that he had faked his death," he shrugged, and I gritted my teeth.

"How did you know about it, how did you meet Penelope?!" I shouted loudly.

I wanted explanations.

"Penelope and I grew up with the Sisters of quiet mercy, my parents preferred Hala more than me, so they gave me back to the Sisters because I was reportedly a bad child. I met Penelope, we planned a joint escape, but unfortunately she was adopted, so our paths are After many years we met again, we decided to have some fun, so we killed Hal and created the game, "he said, and I swallowed.

"What does FP have to do with this? "I asked

"FP knew from the beginning that Hal was dead. He also knew that he could reach me only with you, so he used you...

I couldn't believe it. It couldn't be true. FP used me?

"I don't believe you," I said, "He will look for me. He will find me," I added, and Henry laughed.

"Don't count on him. He'll come back to Riverdale, to Gladys ... And no one will remember about you," he growled and drove the hook.

"Don't hurt me," I said quietly with tears in my eyes. "Why me?"

"You were closest to Hal and you gave him to the police... " Henry ran the hook over my shoulder and cut the shirt on one side. I shouted and jumped. "Do you want to have fun?" he asked and came to me, and I shook my head.

"No!" I shouted and cried. How FP could do something to me. How could he put me out as a bait ... Why? "I have to go to the toilet," I said loudly, and he looked at me in surprise.

"For what?"

"Because I want to pee, what do you think that women don't pee?" I looked at him and he nodded.

"Right," he answered. He was the same fool like Hal.

"Well, where's the toilet?" I asked.

"I have to solve you first," he said, and I nodded.

"You have" I muttered.

However, when Henry was to untie me into the room came ... Penelope Blossom.

"Well, Well, Well Alice Cooper!" she said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Smith" I pulled out my teeth. "Are you happy that I'm here?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yes, I am very happy about it. No not really... it doesn't really matter to me." she shrugged and walked over to me.

"You are here because nobody will miss you , "she shouted and came closer to me.

I looked into her eyes. I tried to hide my tears. Didn't anyone really need me?

"Betty has Jughead, Polly left the town and you don't have contact with her." she ran her hand over my cheek. "It's sad to see how the person you love repels you, right?" I looked at her furiously and spat in her face. She smiled wildly and hit me on the cheek. I looked at her furiously.

"I hate you!" she hissed and moved in my chair.

"You're a nasty viper. I won't let you manipulate me," I hissed.

She just laughed and pulled a syringe out of her pocket. I started to struggle because I didn't want to die! I wanted to kick her and I didn't manage. "Leave me!" I screamed.

"You were naughty," she said and punched a syringe into my hand. I do not remember what happened next because I lost consciousness momentarily.
