The Yearly 365 Challenge (2018)
Prompt #6 (Location) Greendale
"What is it you want mortal?" She hissed as her arms folded across her chest.
"You fully know why I have seeked you out." Archie growled anger leaping in his eyes.
"i don't freely help mortals." She snarled.
"What is it you want?" Archie asked in a deadly firm tone. "Whatever it is I'll gladly give it to you."
"Even your very life?" A high thin eyebrow rose.
Archie swallowed. His mind flashed back to the scene that he had witnessed that morning. He looked into her eyes. "I have nothing left to live for. So yes even my very life."
"Even the life of Betty Cooper? Jughead Jones? Veronica Lodge?" She smirked.
Archie tightly nodded.
She held out her hand for the young ginger haired angry teen to take. She smiled a thin smile as he firmly shook it. "Then it is settled mortal. I will help you. Payment will come in time." Her lip curled. "You may live to mourn coming to me."
Archie's chest tightened. "I have been betrayed. There is no other way to get them to pay dearly from betraying me." He swallowed the bile that was swimming up towards his throat. "I want revenge. I demand revenge. If it has to be supernatural ... so be it. They deserve it!" The image of Betty and Veronica kissing against the tree in the park played repeating around in his head.
"Welcome to Greendale Archie Andrews. You will have living nightmares for the rest of your life." Madam Satan laughed as fire danced in her eyes.
Archie felt cold chills run up and down his spine. He fully realized what his rashness of hurt has led him into. But he was betrayed not just by his best friend (more like a sister) and his current girlfriend ... but he was played for a fool. Well he was done being played for a fool. He was going to deal with life just like everyone else ... taking revenge against whomever betays him!
After all he just sold his soul to Satan.
