Echo was beyond shocked to discover answers she wished she didn't want. Her mind was reeling from the information she learned. She didn't see how a father could shoot their own son, but what made is worst what came after.
"If Clifford Blossom shot then who the frack beat JD to a pulp? And why?" Echo voices, furrowing her eyebrows. She did watch investigation discovery a lot to know parents did kill children so it wasn't too much of a shock for her.
Izzy squirmed on the sofa in his spot. "Maybe, he killed JD offsight."
"I don't think he had the time." Archie disagreed, biting off.
"We have to show this to the police." Veronica says as the others go on to agree.
Echo huffed, pulling her flip phone from her pocket. She hurriedly spoke as the person answered on the other end, "You have got to get out of there..."
They soon found out who Echo called as the phone conversation went on.
"Come on." Archie said to the others who stood up to head for the front door.
"Maybe, you should head over to the Blossom household, Echo." Jughead uttered to his sister.
Echo didn't protest or argue.
"I'll come with you. For support." Izzy offered, jumping up from the sofa. He grabbed his coat to jab his arms into the coat.
Echo frowns, but doesn't object. She leaves with the boy on foot since she still wasn't of age to drive. She is shortly stopped by Izzy grabbing a hold of her shoulder.
"Iz, what the fuck are you doing?" Echo barks as the blue eyed boy takes a deep breath.
Izzy tugs at the end of his curls. He knew the day was coming. He was going to have to confess eventually.
"I know who killed JD. And, I know why the person killed your lover." Izzy coldly remarked, raising the hair on the back of Echo's neck.
Echo froze in her tracks. Her blue green eyes locked on his as she twisted to face the cold boy. Her eyes roved his slender body which had immediately changed. "What?"
"You see, Echo? I was ready to let you go without a fight. Now, I am sure on how dumb the idea of letting you go is. I can't." Izzy solemnly voiced his thoughts.
"Iz-" Echo didn't get a chance to plead with Izzy until he was quickwitted to pop her upside the head. A grunt came from her pink lips as she drops to the ground.
Izzy tilts his head sideways at her unconscious body. He looks to the light blue chevy pickup truck which JD left in his position. He drags her body across the street, tying her hands with rope as well as her legs and feet. He cannot afford Echo escaping before he can make good on his promise to keep her for eternity. He might have been scrawny, but the thirteen year old had strength in his tiny body as he plops her into the back of the truck while covering her body.
He proceeds to hop into the driver's side, rev-ving up the engine. He grinned at himself in the mirror at the front, thinking how splendid his plan was going on. He would have his way or no way- sometimes, people preferred the highway. He had been put up for adoption for a reason which he helped to conceal with playing innocent. It had been easy work for him.
Izzy had experimented on his birth parents as a kid. The experiment went wrong, but he did love the way the power ran in his veins at the thrill of taking lives. He kept his dark half at bay up until the point he met JD who chose to bring the worse out him. He is driving as careful as can be, returning to the frozen waters where he would dump her body like he dumped JD.
Echo groans as her head pounds, feeling as if it's going to fracture the base of her skull. She wants to touch the back of her head, but finds her arms and legs restrained by something. Her mouth isn't taped which sees a shriek escape her lips.
The truck skids to a halt.
Echo hisses, wanting to punch the lunatic who kidnapped her. She was in disbelief at what became of her best friend. How could an innocent mind turn dark? She released an ear piercing scream as the dirty sheet on her was tugged off to reveal a seething Izzy.
Izzy crawled into the truck, pulling Echo forth. He sat her up to where she was leaning on the toolbox as he straddled the girl. He held a small, black gun in one hand as his eyes focused on her confused yet worried ones.
"I want to talk about James Dean Dayton A.K.A. JD. The love of your life who didn't truly love you." Izzy sneered, keeping the squirming girl in place.
Echo could no longer cry. She was dried out from all the water she lost. She was completely empty. What did it matter if he shot her? Closing her eyes, she caved in- wanting to hear Izzy's side of the story. "Where's your proof?"
"I thought you would ask. Take a look at this beautiful picture. He was never going to sleep with you. See!" Izzy shouts, retrieving an image from his pants pocket.
Furrowing her dark eyebrows, Echo couldn't look a way from the graphic image. Her eyes widen at the realization of JD under the covers with his arms wrapped around Izzy. She didn't fail to note that they were naked in their cuddle. Her mind didn't want to make the connection of the two being together.
"You were having an affair while we were together?" Echo asks with the shock in her veins.
"Oh, at first, I didn't want his attention, but he claimed to need me. We were hot and heavy until he decided to break up with me before the summer ended. He promised to love me until the end of time. He lied like you." Izzy said, bringing the trigger of the gun to his head.
"This mean you killed him?" Echo was hesitant to process what he confessed to her. She couldn't believe her boyfriend would have the audacity to cheat on her especially with the same gender. However, if she let her mind return to the weird summer she had with the two then she could see through the lies. She did catch JD eyeing up Izzy a few times in a rather curious way, but she chalked it up to him seizing the boy up in a bout of jealousy.
"You would be correct, babygirl. I have another confession." Izzy chimed up in a sing song tone. His face inched closer to hers as fear tore in Echo's heart.
"What confession is that? And, I never lied about my feelings for you. You just helped to kill them." Echo gingerly spoke, keeping calm in the face of death.
"Sorry, two. I've always been this way. I killed my birth parents in experimentation. I murdered JD due to jealousy of losing him to you. I will kill you for pure enjoyment." Izzy said, smirking as a new idea lit up his blue eyes.
The boy was already having fun tormenting the girl he swore at some point he loved. He points the gun to the temple of Echo, grinning wickedly.
"Iz, I'd say you're sick, but who isn't in this town? Did he love you?" Echo was bitter for having to ask said questions.
"He promised he did. Who knows, babe? I think I'll use your backdoor from some last minute pleasure." Izzy gingerly spoke as he lightly tapped her bottom.
Worry truck up behind the teal eyes of Echo at the mention. "Don't you dare!"
Izzy giggled, waving the gun in her face.
"You won't be awake when I pop your backdoor cherry then shoot you and drag your limp body to the water." Izzy said as more of his plan came alive. He used the butt of the gun to semi knock Echo unconscious.
Echo wiggled, feeling as he turned her over. She hadn't gotten all the way when she felt the sharpness of him enter a hole it shouldn't be. She tried to force herself to fight which is how he ended up shooting the girl to where she couldn't move. She went limb beneath the boy who finished up what he desired to.
