Deadly Definitions 14
This combines multiple episodes of season 2 and doesn’t exactly follow the plot. As for all, it can be read as stand-alone or as part of the series. My masterlist has links to the rest of the series HERE . I hope you enjoy and as always feedback is both welcomed and encouraged. Tags: @l4life @ahoy-ladies-67
The Black Hood. That is what the town was calling him thanks to Alice Cooper. The man who had shot Mr. Andrews, Moose and Midge, killed Ms. Grundy, and had been psychologically terrorizing your friends. He had been on the loose for three weeks and that was all the time it took to change everything. There was a curfew instated,everyone was on edge, and that is only scratching the surface as you were sure more had transpired that you were merely unaware of.
Out of everyone, Archie had taken it the worst. While his dad was okay and back to work, he still wasn’t sleeping. He was constantly on edge and had even tried to take matters into his own hands by creating the red circle. You loved how fiercely he wanted to protect the people he loved, however, you were starting to fear that he was losing himself in the process.
You tried to be there for him, but it was harder now that you lived and went to school on the Southside. Speaking of Southside, Jughead was supposed to be your friend there, but he had started to hang out with the Serpents. He had become a kingpin in a matter of weeks. Little did you know that his involvement had gone further and included a deal with the snake handler. Something both he and Archie had swore to never speak of again. You didn’t blame him for becoming a serpent as he probably wouldn’t survive otherwise with the ghoulies around. You just hoped that he knew what he was doing.
As for the rest of the gang, you haven’t heard much from Veronica, who has been preoccupied with her father’s return. She desperately needed to know whether or not her dad had any connection to the Black Hood. Betty was trying to keep Jughead on the straight and narrow and manage her parents never-ending drama. Unbeknownst to you, she was also struggling through torturous communications with the Black Hood who had dedicated his work to her.
Your group had been separated just when they could benefit most from being together.
You were supposed to be hanging out with Archie. Instead, you were forced at gunpoint to go to the cemetery. Trying to stay calm you called Archie as directed through tears. You hoped with every ring that he wouldn’t answer. Maybe you would be able to keep him out of this mess. But that was not the case.
“Hey Y/n, I’ve been waiting for you. Is everything okay?” Archie asked.
“Archie, I-” you started but the Black Hood pushed the gun into the back of your head causing you to whimper.
“Y/n?”
“I am in the cemetery with a friend of yours. Come alone and don’t call the police or I will be dead when you arrive” you read.
“I’m on my way. Everything will be okay, just hold on. I lo-” he said frantically before the Black Hood ended the call.
“So what is the plan here? Killing us in the cemetery is a little cliche isn’t it?” you taunted.
“Shut up and sit still!” he demanded.
You sat and looked around trying to come up with a plan, any plan. You hoped that Archie wasn’t dumb enough to come alone, but you knew that he would. He would do anything to protect the people he loved.
When he arrived he went for you but was stopped by the Black Hood. He directed you and Archie further into the cemetery where there was a shallow grave with an empty coffin. You were confused, but then realized with horror what was about to happen.
“Get in the Coffin” the Black Hood ordered.
“No way!” Archie replied.
“Get in the Coffin or I’ll shoot her in the head,” the Black Hood threatened.
“Okay,” Archie surrendered doing as told.
“Shut the coffin and start to fill in the grave,” he ordered you.
You hesitated, how were you supposed to do this?
“Y/n, do it now. Shut the coffin,” he yelled.
“It’s okay.” Archie tried.
“I’m so sorry, I love you,” you cried as you closed the lid.
“Pick up the shovel. Fill in the grave.” the Black Hood demanded still pointing the gun at your head.
You did as told careful to throw the dirt at Archie’s feet. You were racking your brain for an escape scenario that would get both of you out alive and alternatively a plan that ensured Archie got out alive. It was a minute later when the police sirens were heard.
You took advantage of this temporary distraction and used to shovel to knock out the Black hood which caused him to drop his gun. When you turned back and he was fleeing the scene. You immediately went for Archie pulling open the coffin and helping him out.
“Where did he go?” Archie asked frantically.
“Through there, towards the bridge,” you answered.
Archie wasted no time in grabbing the gun and sprinting after the Black Hood. You were close behind. When Archie and you did catch up, the hooded figure was about to jump over the bridge.
“Stop!” Archie yelled, “I said stop or I’ll shoot you. I swear to god that I will do it!”
There was a pause. How far was Archie really winning to go? You knew that whatever happened next would change everything.
“You tried to kill my father and my friends. You are going to pay for your crimes. This ends tonight.” Archie struggled.
It was then that the Black Hood had decided to jump. “Stop!” Archie screamed. And then the gunshot fired by Sheriff Keller.
What happened next was all a bit of a blur. The moral of the story was that the man behind the mask was none other than Mr. Spenson? Everyone met up at Pop’s to celebrate if that was even the right word. Something didn’t feel right, the pieces seemed to fit together too well. But you definitely were not going to be the one to say anything.
The Black Hood was dead, right?
Everything was over now and could go back to normal, right?
Could it be that easy, just once?
No, not in Riverdale.
