Chapter 9


Archie, Betty and Sabrina all appeared just outside of Lodge Manor. They immediately noticed that all of the windows had been blacked out. Archie picked up a decent-sized stone from the nearby garden and threw it at one of the windows, however the stone just bounced off barely leaving a scratch.

"It's probably all bullet proof glass or something," Betty said.

"It can stand up to bullets, but it can't stand up to me," Sabrina responded.

Sabrina held out her hand and as Betty and Archie watched a shimmering translucent ball of purple energy began to form. Sabrina was very softly muttering something under her breath and the ball began to vibrate and become opaque. When the ball of energy could no longer be seen through Sabrina pointed her palm towards the nearest window and the ball flew and struck it. For a second nothing happened and then Betty and Archie noticed that all of the windows on the mansion were crackling with purplish electricity. Sabrina then closed her hand into a fist and dropped to one knee slamming her fist into the ground and suddenly every window on the mansion exploded inwards.

A split second later the terrified screams of vampires caught in the sunlight could be heard from inside.

"Let's go," Sabrina said as she ran towards the nearest window and jumped inside.

Betty and Archie followed close behind. Inside they saw two piles of ash that had once been vampires.

"I doubt we got Veronica," Betty said. "If she was in her bedroom or her parents, those are on the north side of the house so there wouldn't be much sunlight coming in anyway."

"Well let's go find out," Sabrina said.

Betty led the way followed by Archie with Sabrina bringing up the rear. Cautiously they made their way upstairs. Along the way they passed the bodies of Veronica's father, her family's butler Smithers and one of the servants Fifi. From the fact that their bodies were starting to decompose they guessed that they had been Veronica's first victims.

As they made their way along the upstairs hallway they could hear the sound of moaning coming from one of the rooms. As they got nearer Betty and Archie realized it was coming from the master bedroom. Betty quickly ran to the door, Archie following close behind.

"Betty wait!" Sabrina called out.

However Betty kicked the door in and entered the room. Inside she saw that several of the vampires were engaged in various sexual acts. The one that caught her eye most however was Reggie and Kevin in a three-way with Ginger Lopez. Ginger was riding Kevin in a reverse-cowgirl position while she was leaning backwards rather awkwardly so that Reggie could fuck her breasts. The oddest part about it was that Kevin had been openly gay so for him to be having sex with a girl seemed strange.

"Betty!" Sabrina called out a second time.

Betty glanced back to see that Veronica was standing behind Sabrina with an arm around Sabrina's throat.

"Hey bestie," Veronica said with a smirk.

Veronica pressed her arm into Sabrina's throat and quickly choked her out making her pass out, she then let Sabrina's body fall to the ground. Archie reactively fired the crossbow at Veronica barely taking time to aim. The wooden bolt struck Veronica in her right eye, but she barely reacted.

As Archie and Betty watched horrified and disgusted Veronica pulled the bolt out of her eye socket, her eyeball still stuck on showing no signs of even being in pain. Calmly Veronica plucked her eyeball off of the bolt and stuck it back into the socket and in seconds it had healed completely.

Betty charged at Veronica with her sword swinging it angrily. However Veronica reached out and grabbed Betty's wrist and with a twist there was a loud snap and Betty screamed in pain as her wrist was broken. Veronica then struck Betty in the side of the head with a vicious punch that knocked her unconscious and she dropped to the ground.

"Betty!" Archie exclaimed.

All of a sudden Veronica was directly in front of him staring into his eyes. Archie stared back terrified but unable to look away.

"Go to sleep Archie-kins," Veronica said. "I'll wake you when I need you."

Archie abruptly slumped to the ground fast asleep, Veronica standing over him a smile on her face. Everything was going almost exactly as she had planned.


When Betty awoke she saw that she was outside and that darkness had fallen. However she was still alive which confused her; why hadn't Veronica killed her? Betty tried to move but soon found that she was pinned to the ground with heavy iron chains. Betty strained against the chains, but even her enhanced slayer strength wasn't enough to break them.

"You won't be able to break them," Betty heard Veronica say.

She looked to one side to see Veronica standing nearby, Sabrina and Archie were both kneeling beside her. Sabrina had bite marks on her neck but it looked as though she was still alive, while Archie was unharmed but looked completely out of it. Veronica was a holding a large black leather bound book in one hand reading something.

"What are you doing Veronica?" Betty asked.

"Why it's a spell of Eternal Darkness," Veronica replied, "So that my children will be able to spread across the Earth."

Betty's eyes went wide with surprise; that was worse than them just taking over Riverdale.

"I have to thank you, you brought me everything I need to complete this spell," Veronica said. "You brought me Sabrina whose blood allows me to cast the spell, yourself as a magical being to use as a conduit for the spell and Archie-kins as something that I once loved to sacrifice."

Betty instantly felt horrible. If she had known about the spell and that Archie could be used to plunge the world into darkness she would have been far more adamant that he remain behind; now she had likely doomed the entire world.

As Betty watched Veronica bit into Sabrina's neck and began drinking her blood. She drank until she could get no more and Sabrina toppled over dead. Veronica then turned and woke Archie up helping him to his feet.

"Stand there calmly for me Archie-kins," Veronica said as she stared into his eyes.

Veronica then began chanting something from the book and Betty noticed the ground around all of them began to emit a circle of black smoke that hovered just a few inches off the ground. All of a sudden Veronica plunged her hand into Archie's chest. Archie let out a surprised gasp but otherwise made no noise as Veronica ripped his heart out.

"Archie!" Betty screamed.

Still clutching his heart, Veronica backhanded Archie's body callously aside sending him flying out of sight. She then opened her mouth wider than Betty thought possible and swallowed Archie's heart whole.

All of a sudden the smoke on the ground rose up and began to flow into both Veronica and Betty. Betty groaned in agony as her body was wracked with pain like she was on fire and being stabbed everywhere simultaneously. Her world soon became nothing but pain, time seemed to stop.

But then all of a sudden it ended. Betty's mouth opened and a huge wave of black smoke billowed out of her up into the sky. As Betty looked out the few stars and the moon soon vanished from sight, but then moments later reappeared but with a dull purplish tinge.

Betty then realized that the chains that had held her were gone. She sprang to her feet to see Veronica standing there nonchalantly. Betty then saw that her sword was lying in between the two of them. She wondered how it had gotten there, but then decided it wasn't important.

Betty rolled forward snatching the sword up and then as she got to her feet she drove it into Veronica's chest aiming for the heart. However Veronica just stood there, a smile on her face despite the sword sticking out of her back. She smacked Betty in the face, causing her to let go of the sword and fly backwards.

As Betty got to her feet she watched Veronica pull to the sword out of her chest and then break the sword over her knee and toss the two halves aside.

"It worked," Veronica said with an evil chuckle.

She held out her hand and Betty suddenly felt herself lifted off the ground by an invisible hand wrapped around her throat. She kicked her feet uselessly in the air as she tried to get free to no avail. Veronica smirked as she sauntered over to Betty.

"What did you do?" Betty managed to choke out and she grasped desperately at whatever was holding her.

"That spell wasn't simply one to plunge world into an eternal night. It also transforms the caster. I've gone from simply immortal to the Goddess of Night," Veronica replied. "And with the world now forever in Night it is mine to control!"

Betty's eyes went wide with horror at the revelation. Veronica laughed at Betty's misfortune.

"The spell consumed the magic that is the slayer line but your powers clearly remain, you're still a threat to my children," Veronica said.

Before Betty could say anything she felt her neck turn beyond its limits. There was a snap and she fell to the ground at Veronica's feet, but somehow she wasn't dead, her neck had just been broken to the point of paralysis for some reason.

She felt Veronica's high-heel booted foot pressing down on the side of her head, her skull was filled with a sudden rush of pain. Then abruptly the pain ended and everything went black.

Veronica removed her foot from Betty's crushed skull. Her wings emerged from her back and with a grin she took off into the night sky. The night was hers to rule and the night was eternal. She was going to enjoy this.

The End...?
