A/N: This is the first part of the first episode of season! I quoted the first part of the chapter since it's the actual words from the show, so I'm not plagiarising. Enjoy! ;)
Prologue
Juliet's POV
"Our story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns all over the world. Safe. Decent. Inoccent. Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.
The name of our town is Riverdale.
And our story begins, I guess, with what the Blossom twins did this summer."
On the Fourth of July, just right after dawn, Jasmine and Charles Blossom drove out to Sweetwater River for an early morning boat ride.
"Are you scared, Jasmine?" Charles asked in curiosity, slightly teasing his sister.
With a gentle half smile, Jasmine shook her head with no regrets of what she was about to do, and why she was doing it.
One thing we know for sure is that Delilah Doiley, who was leading Riverdale's Girl Scout troop on a bird watching expedition, came across Charles sitting by the river's edge.
"Jasmine!"
Riverdale Police dragged Sweetwater River for Jasmine's body, but never found it.
"If she is dead, Hallie, I hope in those last moments she suffered." Alex Cooper crosses his arms while looking at Jasmine's mourning family.
"May Jasmine Blossom burn in Hell."
So a week later the Blossom family buried an empty casket, and Jasmine's death was ruled an accident, as the story Charles told the investigators made the rounds.
That Jasmine dropped a glove in the water and reached down to get it before Charles could help her himself. She accidentally tipped the boat and panicked, and then drowned.
As for us, we were all still talking about the devastating Fourth of July tragedy on the last day of summer, when a new mystery rolled into town.
A/N: So how was that? The suspense, though. But whateves! Get ready for the next chapter, which is the whole rest of the first episode! Enjoy!
