Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a few days, I was a little busy with school. I'll try to post every two days from now on, so stay tuned! xx
I came running as soon as I heard Betty scream bloody murder. For the 8 years I had known her, she had never let out something quite like this.
I kicked the door open, to find a frail Betty, sitting on the floor, weeping surreptitiously. She didn't even have to ask for me to collapse right next to her, and wrap my arms around her.
The others quickly came stumbling in.
"What's going on here?" Veronica cried. She looked at me, but I shrugged my shoulders, clueless.
"Hey Betts" I whispered. "I would love to stay down here forever, but we've got to know what's wrong..."
She lifted her head up, to reveal red, down-trodden eyes. Her finger slowly raised up, as she pointed at the window in the corner of the room.
As I continued to cuddle her, Archie led the way as the others closely followed, towards the windowsill.
There, spelled out was:
Don't bother asking for help
Otherwise I'll kill you all
You must play my game
Otherwise, you'll go up aflame
We all stared at each other with blank expressions. Why us? Out of everyone on this planet, we always seemed to end up in some sort of trouble. I guess Riverdale wasn't the big bad wolf after all.
Once Betty had calmed down, we all sat down at the kitchen table, nervously. Suddenly Toni cried out,
"What does he mean "my game"? Like could this dude be anymore irritating? He leaves us with this haunting factor, and doesn't give us any information?"
"I'd have to agree TT. In fact, I suggest we leave right the hell now." Cheryl chimed in.
"Hmm... I'd have to disagree," Archie and Reggie said at the same time.
"We've been through hell and back, who says we can't do it again?" Archie continued.
"Damn straight," Veronica chimed in. "I'm with Archie."
We quickly voted and found a tie, 4 for Cheryl, 4 for Archie.
"Wait a second," Josie started. "Don't we have 9 people?"
We looked around, confused, until we all laid eyes on her. Betty. She hadn't cast her vote.
"So Betty, who will it be?" I asked, eyebrows up. "Your best friend next door, or your recently discovered cousin by blood?"
