THE SOUTHSIDE TAPES (RIVERDALE 2)

how to get away with murder - intro

For those of you that don't know, on the Ides of March Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times in the chest by his closest companions. In a way Jughead Jones and Nicolette Cooper-Jones-Lodge had suffered the same fate. Luckily, it was most likely an accident or even an elaborate scheme because, needless to say, our Starlet is no Julius Caesar nor is she a damsel in distress. 
Still, his blood was on her hands while both of their blood was all over Betty and somehow, it was all part of the plan. Whose plan, exactly? Well, it depends on how you look at it because in Riverdale, nothing is the whole truth. And even if it is, no one in the town with pep ever knows the whole truth. Right now, only 5 people knew "the whole truth." Two of them just disappeared.

"Jughead." I whispered as I came to, "Juggie?"
"Is she?"
"Shut it, Vee." Betty
"You said she was dead, Archie!" the blonde hissed. Dead? That's impossible how could... I began to cough violently, the taste of blood taking over my mouth. "Cousin? What the fuck? Why am I bleeding?" I screamed at a passed out Jughead next to me, "Did I- Did we..?"

senior year

"Starlet?"
the southside starlet stood there frozen, tears forming in her eyes, with her body covered in another human's blood as well as her own.
"StArLet!"
"Starlet! Did you hear what I just said?" a not-so-innocent starlet's eyes snapped over to her cousin, her sister, and closest friend who were stripped down to our underwear.
"What about you, Archie? Archie. ARCHIE. Are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, we heard you." the redhead said told me. 
"When I said I wanted to remember what we did this summer, this was not what I meant." she chuckled.
The blonde shot her cousin a glare. All four of them knew how serious this was. With no Jughead in sight, no one but Betty had the balls to say what truly needed to be done. Although, Jughead wasn't the only victim in this situation. The starlet was bloody and bruised to the point that it was a shock she came to so quickly. It felt like a matter of seconds until she fell dead on the floor. 
"We have to burn all of our clothes, including Jughead's beanie."
"But," the blonde's cousin protested.
 "And your serpent jacket as well, Nicolette. Then, We'll wash off the blood in the swimming hole. After tonight we never speak of this..."
"Ever." Nicolette continued, "Not to each other. Not our parents. Especially not Aunt Alice or Hiram Lodge." 
The blonde nodded creepily, "exactly. No one. We finish our senior year, we graduate, and we go our separate ways.
"And I go back to Greendale." the starlet said.
Then both cousins chanted, almost robotically, "It's the only way we won't get caught."
"Do it." Betty demanded. As the beanie burned in the fire, the starlet passed out again from the blood loss. She was left there as the trio went home.
